It's a bit of a shame missing out on Ki. He's a decent player. He's perfect for Swansea really, so ultimately I understand why they've decided to keep him. It surprised me, initially when we were linked that they'd want to let a decent player go.

I just hope we have suitable alternatives and don't end up in a situation like January where it was Hoolahan or bust.

We don't seem to have had any credible links to players from abroad & no played in Prem League

So if Ki is not happening who else is available in league we can get ?

Kagawa could be the new Kiyotake.

Last year Chelsea were kings of the 'tactical loan'. They play this game of hoping the loanees will help take points of their rivals. I think it stinks but it's allowed. They must see Everton as well capable of taking points of their CL rivals but not a direct threat.

I think this is a big problem. They had so many players out on loan last season, who were ineligible to play against them, that they often came up against a weaker side than their immediate rivals did when they were playing the same team.

Surely there are hundreds of better loan options we'd look at before him?! Moses, Zaha, Assaidi, etc??

Yes indeed, another example of a promising young player who moved too early, barely played, and has now lost form. Zaha might be going the same way.
