January 2023 Transfer Rumours, Discussions and Done Deals Thread

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I think I read somewhere today that the young Everton winger, Anthony Gordon, was linked.  Is Wilfred Zaha out of contract in the summer?

Both good players, it might be above his station but perhaps Zaha might want champions league or at least European football, we might get it yet but he’s pushing 30 as well so will want big money on a free transfer and Chelsea bid £50m for Gordon in the summer.

Gordon annoys me, diving little weasel.

Haven't the Everton fans been giving him grief for being shit?

I believe so, not quite sure why, he hasn’t been great recently but that could be levelled at the whole team and he had a good start to the season.

He’s had a 6 month period of looking quite good. For £50m I’d like to think we can do better than Gordon. He’s decent, potentially pretty good but there’s better and better value out there.

Being linked with Newcastle as well (Gordon, that is). And it seems plenty of the Bluescouse would be quite happy to see him go.

Prob just a young player going through an indifferent phase after a decent debut season. It happens.

At the numbers suggested I'd prefer to look elsewhere, mind.

I think Gordon's a real talent, and has just lost his way in an absolute shitshow of a club. Although he probably didn't do himself any favours by expressing a desire to leave.

Be a fine signing for any team though.

Everton always seem to turn on their young players for some reason

I’ve thought this for years and said it here before but Everton really do have the worst fan base of any of the ‘big’ clubs.

If there really is a decent chunk of money to be spent, can’t we just get the chequebook out and bring back Tammy? I know he’s done well in Italy, and appears settled, but I’m sure not making the World Cup squad has him wondering about being back and scoring in the Prem - rather than the “out of sight out of mind” problem he has right now?. Chelsea won’t want him back (think they have first refusal) so surely worth making a bid?

Gordon is average. Tammy isn't good enough either, unfortunately. Not dynamic enough imo, a fairly one dimensional footballer scoring goals in a pretty poor Italian league

Big week ahead in terms of transfers. We need to add to the squad because we are looking very thin right now

A big push for Emile Heskey to get us Champions League. Oh look, there go Arsenal buying Arseshavin - now watch him score 4 goals at Anfield 

... and your point?

maybe the point is to get it right?

Really?

Yes! I'm sure they will, I just still feel bitter how we pissed it away in 2009.

He's not even scoring goals in Italy this season.

I agree on Gordon. I've never understood the hype, 4 goals and 2 assists in 35 games last year and people were talking about £50m bids. I know there's more to the game than that but for a winger to be worth that money they need end product.

Next week could be very interesting.  A good wide player, competition for Watkins and maybe a midfielder coming through the door and we could be in for an exciting run-in.

The midfielder may be able wait, but we need another winger and striker.

I like the look of him. Maybe he just needs a better manager and better players around him? His record is fairly similar to Buendia's this season, playing in a far worse team managed by Fat Fwank. And he's only 21 still.
