Simms durability is impressive to be fair, rarely misses a game due to injuries. He’s not as explosive as Wright, EMC or BTA so he’s lower risk for non-contact muscular injuries.He’s acutely aware that our biggest threat is an injury crisis, not the quality of other teams. Probably wants all the bases covered in January but the glaring ones are out wide, in central midfield and perhaps left back too.
Really need to keep Wright fit when he’s back though, Simms is in great form but he can’t keep going for 90 minutes all throughout this month.
As long as Lampard is given the resources needed, who we bring in or what terms they arrive on, I’m happy.I think we will get in a couple of loans personally
There’s significant money available for the right personAs long as Lampard is given the resources needed, who we bring in or what terms they arrive on, I’m happy.
We cashed in £6.5m for Sheaf, was bidding for Hughes supposedly so there ought to be a good pot available for the window.
Why would he sell up on the verge of a massive pay dayI was thinking king would sell up but I’d like to see if he can pull off a few more master strokes
After promotion sorry for not being clearWhy would he sell up on the verge of a massive pay day
Thats ok peter you are forgivenAfter promotion sorry for not being clear
I don’t think we do one of these unless they’re a nailed on starter. Don’t think anyone of that calibre would join if they were just slated to be a backup either.Well yes preferably. Could do a loan with a buy clause if promoted like Sunderland did with Le Fee
Who says they’d be a back up?I don’t think we do one of these unless they’re a nailed on starter. Don’t think anyone of that calibre would join if they were just slated to be a backup either.
No-one we sign will be a back-up. They'll either be players good enough to challenge or development players.I don’t think we do one of these unless they’re a nailed on starter. Don’t think anyone of that calibre would join if they were just slated to be a backup either.
The initial posts were about “insurance against an injury” and “someone who can come on”.Who says they’d be a back up?
I see it as closer to a rotation option than a benchwarmer tbf.The initial posts were about “insurance against an injury” and “someone who can come on”.
Fine, but I don’t think a player of Le Fee’s calibre is joining in January to be a rotation option either.I see it as closer to a rotation option than a benchwarmer tbf.
Lampard wants 5 I think he said. King meet him in the middle probably
How about Tyler Dibbling on loan from Everton. Has played less than 90 mins football all season so far ….
I would absolutely take him, he would be a sensational signing on loan."With that in mind, ex-Everton scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – believes that Dibling could be in line for a loan move in the January window, and potentially even a return to his boyhood club.
“I see a loan coming on here,” King said.
“I would say somewhere in the top half of the Championship. Maybe he could even go back to Southampton. He’s a young player, and it would be a learning curve. They’ve got to sort games out for him somewhere, and he doesn’t seem likely to get them at Everton.
“I think it was very questionable when they brought him in. He’s a young boy, and if you’re going to pay that kind of money for a player of that age, then you’ve got to be looking for him to go straight into the team."
Thing is though, would the potential loan stipulate a starting birth if fit.
Interestingly I’ve never really wanted to have an in with any of the team or managersPete with Frank

Him and a midfielder on a permanent would be a fantastic window.
Everton paid £42 million quid for him , seems a bit of a waste to send him on loan. It's not as though Everton have loads of flair players . Grealish has had his 10 mins of the national media trying to get him in the England squad.He definately needs to play games. Would be a sensational loan. But unless he pulls his socks up and inserts decent shin pads, then it's a no from me.
Is it more of a waste to send him on loan or continue to not give him minutes?Everton paid £42 million quid for him , seems a bit of a waste to send him on loan.

It's a crazy sum for a team like Everton to pay for a youth player. Man City, Arsenal sure. But it's not like Everton don't need first team players.

His form has come at a great time and he’s got a golden opportunity to make himself undroppable now. He’s not yet first choice but that could quickly change if he keeps up the scoring run this month.
He played in every game in 23/24…Part of his durability is the fact he got dropped regularly in favour of Wright last season and BTA this season.
We are going to see how durable he is over the next 6 weeks I suspect.
well we wouldnt have to pay them all as its a loanAt £42m quid, what wages would Dibbling be on? My tingly instincts say more than we could stretch to....
Still less thank BinksAt £42m quid, what wages would Dibbling be on? My tingly instincts say more than we could stretch to....
