Last full week of the transfer window and I'm thinking that were going to be busy.
We need a striker, centre back and right back and also creative centre mid wouldn't go amiss.

{Ed002's Note - There will be a significant flurry of activity but it remains tough to get the ball over the line of course. Everton will, as many Premier League sides, try.}

Brahimi from Porto Ed002, sky sources claiming we are trying to convince the player as the deal with Porto is a goer? Heard anything of this one?

{Ed002's Note - It would be a knee-jerk reaction if true and something I know nothing od and I suspect would be unlikely. Whilst the interest of Manchester City and Lazio has gone, PSG retain an interest in Yacine Brahimi but he has complex third party ownership issues and a very high price tag. Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea and Wolfsburg have a declared interest but the price is putting them off but all are willing to negotiate. However, Milan would likely not be able to fund his transfer, Chelsea has a preferred target and Wolfsburg have picked up Dinamo Zagreb's Josip Brekalo (who was one on the list of young Arsenal targets that I discussed elsewhere) and Arsenal will only turn to him if other targets cannot be achieved. I am not aware of any approach by West Ham nor if West Ham would be able to fund such a significant purchase with their priority elsewhere. Any approach by Everton seems a tad irrational and the money might be better spent elsewhere.}

Could not agree more Ed I to think the money may be spent better elsewhere.

im not too bothered about him being "another winger". i think we need to give koeman some credit here he knows what he's doing. in the modern game its useful if you can play anywhere in the front 4.some of these guys may well be able to play behind the striker or up front as well as out wide as a winger or an inside forward.
