Personally I hope Everton don't sign any more in January the team has now turned the corner, everyone are playing well, let's give the chance to our up and coming youngsters to shine.

{Ed025's Note - i wont say no to another one or two uran, complacency is never a good thing and its what cost us with our 80,s team who were fantastic but rested on their laurels and failed to strengthen at the right time mate..

I agree ED and with your comment below. We do need a striker.

We seem to be playing our cards close to our chest though and wouldn't have a clue who we are after at the moment.

I'd sit back and see what happens.

I think the 'cards close to our chest' approach is one that I prefer. What good does it do to the fans always thinking 'the one(s) that got away' and why give our rivals, ie spurs, a heads up who's available on the market. As a fan, as an element of surprise, it'll be like Xmas, who we got his year.

Ok, we need a class striker to give Lukaku a break or fest, we need a class centre back at this moment but I can't see that quality being available in this window.

Agree1 Disagree0

We definitely need a striker. If Lukaku gets injured we're relying on Valencia or Kone (shudders) It's a priority for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

Uran, I see your point. Let's be honest, who of us would be braver enough to change a winning team. But we still need the options on the bench to change things that aren't going our way. We scored late against Palace which could easily have been 0-0.

I'd like a few additions still so that we have options in case of injuries. And we still need someone with a little craft around the 18 yard box for when Ross has one of those days. And a 10 goal a season striker who can support Lukaku is something that can be got in the January window.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2017 09:42:18
Still need another quality striker, and to continue to invest in our u23 squad. That is where RK can mould the future talent. Already finding it interesting that they are loaning out players from the u23's whilst bringing in new players.

Agree0 Disagree0

A 10 goal a season striker toffee? I'd rather play Mirrallas (spelling) upfront than a 10 goal a season striker. we need to be aiming for 15-20 at a minimum IMO. When we start playing more games (hopefully next season) it's about squad depth and rotation rather than covering injuries.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2017 14:01:34
I agree Chris, but you won't get a 15-20 striker in January. So if a striker is a need in January then 10 is about all you'll get. That's the point I'm making.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jan 2017 03:51:24
I agree we could do with a new top quality striker and Centre back, Everton are a different club now, they only buy what they want regardless of the fee, I personally feel this quality will not be available this January, Everton have turned the corner now, mainly due to the influence of Davies and Holgate, the two youngest and least experienced in the team, we only need to retain the position whee we are in the league, so blood a few more of our under 23 players and recognise what a fabulous job David Unsworth is doing, he deserves new contract

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2017 21:07:32
Is it me, or all of a sudden we are only linked to kids now, seems we have a couple of kids breaking into the team now we only want kids, surely the only place we are crying out for is a striker, everywhere else we can cope till the summer, we need to 've strong till the end of the season and hopefully pinch and Europe spot, but if lakaku gets injured we are stuffed, we have no one else

{Ed025's Note - we do need a striker jlm..

25 Jan 2017 09:44:47
Yes we are, but we have to help out the under 23s with a few signings for the gaps left by those who spend their time training with the first team and those who break through. Some have also been loaned out to gain experience too.

I think we will still see a few experienced signings maybe over the weekend or dare I say it on deadline day.

I know it's only one game, but am currently watching the Ivory Coast game because I wanted to see this Kessie myself. If he's really 30 million, do we get 10 of him? This boy is poor tonight. Even the commentator said when he got subbed after 81 minutes that he's done nothing and may have had 10 touches all game. In his defence ivory coast have been poor.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Jan 2017 21:15:16
If he's worth 30m Kingo then he should have been wanting the ball and driving them on. He did neither mate, so think he is a little overrated at 30m.

Agree3 Disagree0

24 Jan 2017 23:37:34
You've watched one game and now he is Overrated? Madness.

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Jan 2017 23:52:24
How is it madness? The word overrated was not used once. £30 million is madness regardless of who you are. As an evertonian, if we signed a player for that money and he didn't get 10 touches per game, how would you feel?

I did say, as a team, Ivory Coast were poor, but he was probably the worst player in this particular game. As a £30m player, you don't expect THIS poor. Ross has had a bad enough time for some performances and he cost us zip.

Agree1 Disagree1

25 Jan 2017 13:50:01
He may have cost the team points, that's more than zip

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jan 2017 21:58:06
It is madness judging a player on one performance. Ross has had a few very poor games this season would you judge him based on one of those single performances? Why do you think we have scouts? They watch players for long periods of time before they make a judgement if it would worth spending the cash to get them however much it may be.

Hi ed

Do you think that's us now apart from a few players for u23 squad? Can't see any major signings but still think we need a striker asap and perhaps deal with other positions in the summer?

Hi Ed. Are we looking to tie up any deals for players on pre-contract agreements?

Thanks as always.

I really hope we sign a forward, one bit of bad luck for Romelu injury wise and we will be struggling, with us seemingly putting some form together, and Man United about to resume European football, we could really push to get a place or two higher in the league, we desperately need cover for Lukaku .

Any ideas who Ron should look at bringing in?

Hi Robert we have many irons still in the fire as Ed said we might one or two read the posts mate, GuernseyBlue

No, I think that for this Window we have done all we can do. RK has whittled and recruited his central playing Squad to the one he wants now until the Summer when serious business will be done.

Do efc hold any interest in anton donker the wolfsburg winger?

{Ed007's Note - No.}

Unless he's amazing, I don't want him because every mistake he'd make we'd have to listen to donker the donkey puns for a week (I really know nothing about this guy though)
