2014/2015 Winter Transfer Thread

I'm interested in seeing how City and PSG respond to UEFA on FFP. Will they each sell a couple of top players or will they double down and cook the books even more. I'm hoping it's the latter because otherwise it will just mean the traditional clubs get even stronger. FFP is such bullshite.

Everton Targets:

1. Lukaku (Priority #1)

2. Remy/Bony/Drdic/Welbeck (1 of these if we can't secure Lukaku)

3. Deulofeu is apparently close to being locked in for 1 more season from Barca

4. Gareth Barry on a permanent

5. Demba Ba

6. Jack Rodwell (Again)

7. Mo Diame

8. Lewis Holtby (he grew up as a blues supporter and has been linked to us and Villa)

9. Dusan Tadic (Long shot)

10. Igor Akinfeev



These are some of the players I have seen Everton linked to, but we may lean heavily on primarily targeting players who are finishing up contracts though.

No discredit to new manager Thomas Schaaf and all that he was able to accomplish with Werder Bremen, but, unless someone miraculously falls into their lap, I think Eintracht Frankfurt are going to struggle to stay in the Bundesliga next season. Granted, I know that we had several of our best players miss time do to injuries (what team doesn't have that problem), but we only managed to finish a pedestrian 14th. We already lost Rode to that Bavarian Juggernaut. And we just lost our Captain (Sweggler) to Hoffenheim and recently capped Sebastian Jung to Wolfsburg. All of these coming on free transfers. I still believe we have one of the best young keepers in the Bundesliga (Kevin Trapp), but he can't stop opposing clubs all by himself. With the limited budget and lack of quality players in the academy, I just don't see us bringing in enough talent to stay competitive.

Robert SWAGrass signs for Hull City.


S, I would like your best Jay Bilas and Fran Fraschilla impersonation of this pick.

I RA'd to have this unstickied. looking back on my targets-

signed adryan after all and definitely nailed the obscure italians on loan category, should have signed agard had he not fricked up the day the move was supposed to go through and are still monitoring bentley.
