The Jan window is always difficult, both in terms of prising away good players and then fees being inflated.

So I'm not expecting 5 or 6 through the door.

The amount spent isn't that important to me, it's dick waving tbh. We paid £7m for Gueye and he's a gem, so if Walsh can provide more like that I'll be happy.

I think most Blues want to see a signing that'll excite and make a statement though. We expected it in the summer, and it failed to materialise.

The trouble is, at this rate, will Koeman last the season without you buying big in Jan? He is doing that very Koeman thing if really not looking terribly interested either. You must be a bit concerned I'd imagine?
 
You're right in that Everton have not historically been one of the 'panic' puppies in the PL regarding managers. But, as many blues supporters were only too keen to point out to us naive Saints back in the summer, times have changed. There is a toxic combination forming. Consisting of over-hyped invisible war chest, Koeman's less than engaging manner, a christmas tree, some very used golf clubs and one win in the last ten games.

To be fair if the leaks about his pay and contract terms are true that may save him even if the next two home games are lost. Too expensive to sack.

Give him the season and you'll remain top 10 at the very least with a shout for 6/7th maybe, he's still a decent manager.
There's no way he won't last the season mate.

My only real concern tbh is the lack of workrate when he's said wants us to employ a high pressing game.

Either his message isn't getting across well enough, or the players aren't carrying out his instructions fully.
 
Merseyside Derby on Tuesday. If Koeman gets this wrong or fails to get the players motivated to at least compete the he will be in for a very lonely xmas. Home advantage so I'm going for 1-3 to Liverpool rather than 0-4.

And so far It's already 79 minutes and both of them are still goalless.
