Chester going makes me nervous. Basically it means if we get 2 centre back out for any reason, we are back to 4 3 3 and that simply didn't work for us. If he is going, we need a replacement.

If chester and jota leave we will have 3 through the door by deadline day!

Vida
Benteke (convinced this is happening)
A winger we haven't even been linked too

Nothing will happen. We will go with what we have.

Piatek off to Berlin
Grosicki off to West Brom

Both would have linked up nicely with us.

Another striker is absolutely essential. Hogan isn't the best but at least he was an option. We keep selling/loaning strikers without deals in place first. Current options are only Samatta and the injury prone Davis. We don't want another August situation with lack of numbers up front. Just get Benteke in!
Also I'd keep Chester for his experience in the run-in.

If we struggle to get a striker, recall RHM.

Better than nothing.

I don't think Hogan has been an option for a long time!

All gone quiet on N,Zonzi,  Giroud,  Benteke,  Vida, and several others

Hope Sturridge is a red herring.

Samatta was not mentioned and then a flurry of comments and he was signed. Let's hope the same with the next one(s)

What’s even more unspeakably insane than Barca offering £85 million for Richarlison is Everton turning it down!

I know. Absolute madness. I’d have driven him there myself for half that

The lack of any links 48 hours out is worrying. We need a striker, centre half and wide player potentially.

Richarlison is a very good player, and could become a lot better with good coaching. Reminds me a lot of Sterling at the same age and could get close to that level. £85m is daft money but it's the way it is now, but worth remembering, plenty thought Everton were mental for paying wat they did for him, and yet 18 months later they've turned down nearly £50m profit.

Given their FFP issues, one would have thought, if the bid is true, that they could even afford to turn it down.

I read earlier that the Polish striker at AC Milan, whom we were linked to a few weeks ago and were told he is far too good for us, is about to join Hertha Berlin, who last time I looked, we’re about in the same position as us in the Bundesliga.

I think the agent used us to try and create interest to be fair.
