That wasnt really the case. By this time last year we had brought in Roubles, Kone and Alcaraz, we had also already had bids for McCarthy turned down.While I would agree its too early to start panicking I think we are even more desperate for players now than we were this time last year and so we need to start getting players in soon

I can understand the frustration but that's part and parcel of being an Evertonian It doesn't help that I just don't know what to expect because as much as the summer window was a roaring success I think the January window was a complete disaster It's still early doors but I can't remember a time when our squad has ever been so threadbare. I could relax a little if we only needed to add one or two players but we need a major influx so the sooner we start recruiting the better

Yes it is

Probably a better option than we have at the moment!

He hasn't kicked a ball in the Premiership yet. What if he was to go on loan to Everton and score 30 goals would his value still decrease?

How would a loan devalue him?

And then he is off to Austrai with the first team squad for preseason training

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-city-target-ross-barkley-3812128 I suppose with Coleman and Baines both signing new contracts in was inevitable that The Mirror would try and sell Barkley!

If Lukaku was the finished article he would be going for a hell of a lot more than £20M and we would have absolutely no chance what so ever of signing him. We cant shop in the same market as those clubs so the fact that they aren't in for him is irrelevant as far as Im concerned I agree with Haf that he does have a habit of going missing in games, but then so has Barkley and I would not want to sell him for £20M. For me the debate is whether or not Rom can develop as a player and I personally think that he can, obviously Haf doesn't Either way he is way better than anybody we have on the books at the moment, as is Bony, so I would be delighted if we could get either of them and for me both are worth £20M all day long For me I think the debate is more about whether or not Lukaku can develop into a top player or not

All good points however we are not at the same level as any of those clubs and we don't have the money or the pull of any of them so they will be able to attract the calibre of players we can only dream about
