A player essentially for nothing, replaces Maupay with more of a potential upside. Don't rate the lad but he might grow into something, surprised anyone has an issue with it

Considering three months ago Thelwell was warning we had buttons and could not expect significant signings this window has exceeded my expectations by far. Sure we would have liked a right back and a winger but Patterson or Dixon may have a breakthrough through season and we have kept hold of Branthwaite and DCL, not a bad window at all.

No idea what our best team would be. At least we have options now.

If it really is no loan fee and no wages it's a decent deal. We get pole position if he does well at a relatively low transfer fee for a young striker.

Pacy winger: Maeda - like shit off a shovel

Don’t get the opposition to it. Deal is in our favour, and it was completed at 2am, so obviously a last min call after other deals fell through. Would absolutely prefer to take a sensible punt on this, rather than “go with what we got”
Amazing window from Thelwell in the circumstances, we’ve brought money to satisfy FFP and are stronger on paper than we ended last year with. All whilst working with one hand tied behind his back

1) Pickford
2) Patterson
3) Mykolenko
4) Tarkowski
5) Branthwaite
6) Mangala
7) Garner
8) Iroegbunam
9) DCL/Broja/Beto/Chermiti (take your pick!)
10) Ndiaye
11) McNeil
Our strongest team?

Worried he's gonna start playing Ndiaye out wide which would be bollocks.

He’ll be good on the left.

Problem is two of the strikers are currently injured and two have bad injury records. Looks OK on paper though

Definitely no loan fee but can’t imagine no wages ? expect we paying at least 50% if not more, still a good deal.

When is a club not a club?
Can you field 11 players all on loan? We could eventually make history: the first club to win a trophy, with a team made up entirely of loan players!
Then, we could rebrand ourselves. We'd no longer be The Toffees, we'd be The Borrowers.

Broja could work in our favour or he could spend the season on the treatment table. If he gets fit could he play off Dom. Would like to see how that would go because it didn’t work at all with Beto. It should be Ndiaye playing off whoever is up front anyway probably.
Broja is a no lose for us really.
It’s a weird time for strikers. There are not that many good ones out there and certainly none in our price range. Spurs going for Solanke, Utd haven’t got anything wonderful in Hojlund Havertz at Arsenal and Chelsea with a myriad of average attackers.
