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

Really? I think he has quite obviously developed into a more rounded player in Italy. I would like someone better still at Villa but he'd certainly improve our team.

Tammy's form was patchy up until the holidays but Roma's focal point is now Dybala and I just think it has taken a bit of time to establish an understanding. Last two games I watched, Tammy scored, made a goalline clearance and two direct assists.

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.
Ah, got you now! Maybe me being a bit dense.

As much as I would like Guenduzi (sp) would that not knock back Tim's development even further?

Our main goal is to quickly build a side that can challenge for European football, not to develop Tim’s career

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.

It's a bluenoseification, forged in the heat of a bitter rival relentlessly pissing over you for decades.

Plus, they have easily the worst vocal support, the only noise they ever make is to moan at ref's decisions

They are great at that, to be fair. The best fans in the world for throwing their arms about in outrage. Every time the ref makes a decision, Goodison looks like a giant pre-school swimming lesson.

It may be on Twitter but I hope it’s true, apparently Guendouzi has played his last game for his team as we’ve made him a wonderful offer.

I've just read that. One to watch if true.

Mattéo Guendouzi, courted by Aston Villa, knows that he may be playing his last matches with Olympique de Marseille this January. Aston Villa made him a ‘wonderful’ offer. @lequipe #avfc

This would be excellent. If we do add a winger and another striker as well which Emery did imply, this could be one hell of a transfer window.

Guendouzi, a winger and a striker would be great. Maybe a backup keeper.
Sell Chambers, I like him but he'll never play him.
Flog Olsen - he's turd.
I'd be open to selling McGinn too, Kamara and Luiz are excellent and Ramsey would be the next choice in the middle if one of those isn't fit.
Obviously sell Sanson and Nakamba

Part-ex with Sanson to appease their fans perhaps?

Not this window but would anyone take Brennan Johnson from Forest? I think he’s a great player anyway, plenty to work on but he’s young enough to improve further and go up a couple of levels.
Maybe we’d want a more finished article to displace Watkins.
