Joshua Zirkzee heavily linked this morning, weren't we looking at him before he went to Bayern eds? . Does anyone know if he's any good is another question. Would have thought we'd have looked at a more senior player to be backup to DCL given we have Simms as well.

{Ed002's Note - Cologne are struggling again this season but do offer a straight loan option for the player. Two recent disciplinary issues may make clubs think twice about the player. Zirkee is said to favour a return to Feyenoord but they are looking for cover for Bryan Linssen which would limit his game time. I am not aware of any approach from Everton but Bayern Munich would certainly listen to offers.}

I'm wondering whether DCL has a more worrying injury than first thought. Its mentioned as a loan deal which keeps costs down.

Don't really think we need to sign someone and spend big money. I'd rather us wait till summer and get the players we really want and need.

Normally take rumours with a pitch of salt but this one seems to have legs in it.

What are the 2 disciplinary issues Ed? Would they be enough to put potential suitors off? Think we’ve got a decent bunch of players that seem to be playing together wouldn’t want to risk that with a player with disciplinary issues.

{Ed002's Note - One relates to a sending off, the other has seen him moved back to the reserves. Bayern are also unhappy with his attitude hence the reason for making him available.}

think we do need a back up forward to be honest and if it has got legs this then i would expect cenk tosun maybe going out on loan somewhere.

{Ed002's Note - Bayern Munich are not going to loan a player who will simply be providing cover.}

I think it’s got to be more than cover. DCL can’t play every minute of every game.
I’d be pretty annoyed if I was Ellis Simms and they bring in a 19yr old though - or people at club don’t rate him as I am suprised he hadn’t had a look in

If he has behaviour issues I hope we have learnt lesson from Van De Mede and Drenthe and don’t bring him in unless he is prepared to do a shift

Lakaku, Kean and Sidibe recent examples of players coming in who really don’t want to be here - sadly Richarlison looking that way too at the minute (wonder if he is looking at Kean and thinking I want a price of that)

{Ed025's Note - his behaviour issues may well be exaggerated sobs, he went in on a keeper in a reserve game and got a 3 match ban, if these problems are the result of over committment then it does not worry me at all mate..

Cool - well if he’s better than Simms let’s get him 👍.

A third party has become involved who has approached Parma, West Ham and Everton with regards the player. It is him talking with the press.

Ferguson would never have left Rangers, if we took that mind set, if he can put it in the onion bag, will do for me.

Feegusin averaged 1 goal in 4 for everton.
In his second stint he averaged 1 in 5.5 (that’s less than 8 a season) and that includes cup games
Great guy and offered more than just goals but he was as prolific has Toson is now.
