Dier and Dembele are going to play 60 games ?
Dier, Dembele, Wanyama and Bentaleb, do you not think they're capable of playing 60 games a season?
Dier and Dembele are going to play 60 games ?
I think our midfield is set. It'll be Bentaleb, Dembele, Dier, Wanyama and probably Mason sprinkled in. I would have preferred Mason and Carroll sold to fund a move for a creative CM that could also move up the pitch a tad into the position behind Kane, too.
I hope not.
Like you say we need a creative AM. Somebody that can drop a shoulder and take on a player to open things up.
We don't have anybody like that.
We do actually
Pritchard could be that player.
In AM we have Pritchard who can do that and in CM Onomah and Winks (to a degree). In CM we have 4 quality players in Dier, Dembele, Wanyama and Bentaleb, so WInks and/or Onomah are fine as 5th choice (and that's if we sell Mason and Carroll).I hope not.

Sorry, I misunderstood they player type you meant, I thought you just meant a player that can quickly turn a player in the middle of the pitch to open things up, like Modric use to, but if you mean a player that can dribble through a crowed area, then I agree, we should sign a player like Boufal, as I don't think Pritchard could do that either. Wanyama, Janssen and Boufal would be an excellent transfer window IMO.I agree that Pritchard could step up to be that player. Onomah could continue to progress but Winks isn't that type of player I'm referring to.
With all due respect to Onomah and Pritchard (who I am big fans of), we are just about to head into such a competitive season with everybody strengthening like never before. If we spend £11m on Wanyama and a reported £17m + on Janssen, I would love us to try and buy that established article that could provide that intelligence that we lack on occasions. A Boufal. A Insigne.
I hope so but I've yet to see proof that Bentaleb can fill in for Dembele.Dier, Dembele, Wanyama and Bentaleb, do you not think they're capable of playing 60 games a season?

Unrealistic for us but realistic for Everton ?a) It's an unrealistic transfer target
b) He is pretty overrated
c) We already got ITK saying Mourinho wants him.
I'd believe our ITK more than the Daily Star. We've had ITK that we inquired and essentially got told to piss off. So yes, I'd say unrealistic.Unrealistic for us but realistic for Everton ?

Missed that is it in the RO ?I'd believe our ITK more than the Daily Star. We've had ITK that we inquired and essentially got told to piss off. So yes, I'd say unrealistic.
Nah, one of the ITK threads, was more of a passing by piece of ITK from Grey Fox (I think). Current ITK thread, 4th/5th post down.Missed that is it in the RO ?
Just being pedantic but Coutinho is not all that creative.Who?
We don't have a Coutinho, Hazard, Mahrez type.
And don't tell me Lamela can beat a player.
We have such a talented squad but I do feel we are missing that type of player. A striker and forward player with guile, intelligence and skill would round of the squad nicely IMO.
I hope so but I've yet to see proof that Bentaleb can fill in for Dembele.

Yeah he's still going to be off to Juve, the Sassuolo chairman confirmed it, just not a season earlier than originally agreed.
