Good incentive for us to win on Monday night after Man U went above us today.

Pretty obvious that it is a must win game for us. A lot of teams breathing down our neck including Watford.

They are all must win games mate.

So just seen quite an impressive list of players that are out of contract this year, Di Maria, Robben, Khedira, Rabiot, Kompany, Ballotelli, Moussa Dembele, Fabregas, Godin, Hector Herrera, Felipe Luis, and Half the M. Utd team (how have they allowed so many contracts to expire at once, crazy! )

There are 3 in particular that I'd really love to see Everton move for but undoubtedly they will have a seriously good choice of clubs to choose from, Eduardo Salvio, Yacine Brahimi and Munir.


I don't believe we have a hope in hell of landing Brahimi or Salvio but an all out push for Munir could be achievable and really offer us the attacking threat we currently lack, and I'd even be tempted to try and get a cut price deal done in January if possible. I think Barcelona would cash in because he's not exactly a player who will impact their season by leaving.

Most likely player we'd get on a free though knowing my luck, Max Kruse : (.

Hey Worcester mate I wouldn't worry too much about who we get in the January transfer window, just look at what Marcel and Marco brought in the last window, they will have all bases covered I am sure.

Spot on GB. Let these guys do what they do best. Sometimes big names don’t always bring improvement.

Plus these are all/ mostly at the ends of their careers. We made this mistake when Koeman was manager. Letting the age of our squad increase to the point we had half kids and half old uns. None at the peaks of their careers. The new manager identified that and brough 5 in at the peaks of their careers or coming into the peaks. With quality too. It wasnt just that Williams and Martina were rubbish. it was also that Williams was signed and ended up being in the squad with Jags. Jags is 36 and Williams 34. This is the Premiership whereby any small weakness will be punished. Having 2 center backs as your main 2 at that age (ok it was last season) is crazy. To now go out and sign good players but at the end of their careers is just wrong in my opinion. In any position. I suspect Marco Silva thinks the same seeing the players he has brought in.

Spot-on Degsyp, no re-sale value either.

I think you guys are missing the point of my post completely.
I am not worried about who we sign, and i am not advocating signing players at the back end of their careers.
It was a list of some of the bigger names out of contract because i thought it was interesting. A talking point of how Utd have let so many contracts expire at once. Who out of those would excite at the club etc.
I suggested 3 players i would like us to move for but its all fantasy thoughts.
Some of you guys really do like to be negative about posts for no reason at all and without really looking at the context of what is written. That being said i shall once again resume my hiatus.

Don’t want you to be disappointed with the reply’s Worcester. I just thought GB had a good point also. I’m up for signing anyone who can improve us. I’m just confident in our recruitment team getting the right players. Nothing negative meant mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0333's Note - you seem to have a much better recruitment team now mate. You’ll be ok.

I'd still take Arjen Robben in a heartbeat (not that I could ever see it happening)

Agree0 Disagree0

As with every approach to a transfer window there will be all kinds of rumours and speculation. We can all dream about who we'd like etc but my advice is to take it all with a pinch of salt. If players come in they come in. If they go they go. Nothing you or I can do or say will influence that one way or another. It's frustrating reading that your best players are being looked at by so-called Bigger clubs, but I take it as a sign we are moving in the right direction.

Not just that BigH but don't you think other Clubs think the same way. In truth under Brands and Silva we have no idea who! if any, given Mr Moshri's 'nothing happening in January' statement, are coming in. We have dispensed with some who do not fit Mr Silva's ideas and await what happens to those on the long term injury list. For me Mr Silva has improved the side but the main plus is a proven DoF. Ahead of the point I thought we would be at but tempered by the fact we are a third through. Good result Monday and back up to 6th, a position in my humble opinion we can with endevour and potential maintain and the flip side at this moment in time finish no higher.

Lakaku unhappy at Utd.
Does anyone feel sorry for him?

Nope.

Probably his agent hasn't had a fee for a few months. No sympathy for the player.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Dec 2018 12:27:58
I didn't like how he went about leaving us Sobs, but he's a great player and I don't blame him being unhappy the way United are recently and how Moaninho blames everyone else except himself for the way they are playing. With the talent in that squad there's no way they should be performing so badly. I can't see Jose being there much longer if it continues.

Agree0 Disagree0

I posted on here about him and Barkley when they left and got some grief, lakaku is lazy and will never stay long term at any club while he has that agent. Yes he will always score goals but he will only turn up when he feels like.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He changed agents earlier this year.}

08 Dec 2018 16:41:21
Thanks ed didn't know but still think he is a mercenary and will keep moving during his career.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Dec 2018 16:58:51
His agent now is J Zee, Beyonce's husband.

Cracking player Lukaku and quite rightly one with ambition to win things. We received a substantial sum for him, is he worth it? who knows! . No doubt Mourinho is a good coach but he let's his Psychology degree credentials let his mouth rule his head at times. Cannot help dreaming what Lukaku would be like at Club level under a Martinez or Silva.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Dec 2018 20:36:46
There was a thread on Twitter if we would have him back, I don't think we play to his strengths anymore we have moved on.

Agree1 Disagree0

Plus he was very disrespectful. Consistently talking about moving any chance he had. We have had good players who I would take back - Rooney, stones, arteta but not Lakaku. Plus he is prone to a goal drought lasting weeks.
