I'm sure I said this last year about your team picks but pretty much spot on what we need .

Add to that Lookman back and Bolasie gone it would be a lottery win transfer window .

[GLewis]

A centre-mid who can pick the ball up off the defence, turn and carry it 40 yards forward.

One of the annoying things about Gueye when not just defending.

Unlikely to suddenly turn into Pirlo, but if he was more aware of what’s around him/ more positive he should be able to take the ball up the pitch before offloading a simple pass to a forward player.

But yeah our transition of the ball from defence to attack is poor.

[Shogun]

Florian Thauvin.

[Bob Sacamano]

Midfield needs an overhaul. I like Will Hughes, does he still have two legs?

[Goaljira]

Florian Thauvin.

I'd take anyone who sounds like a Game of Thrones character.  I'll take any kind of light hearted amusement from Everton at the minute.

He's one of the Faceless Men from Braavos.

Very hard for defenders to mark.

[TheRam]

Lewis Cook

Shout.

[BlueForYou]

Yes - and should make England's World Cup squad

[Bluedylan]

Say we're playing a 4-3-3 next season, I'd really like to see Gana as the deepest of those three midfielders, screening the fuck out of the defence, and laying the ball off to better players.

Then in front of him someone who can pass the ball, both in terms of retaining it, and playing probing forward passes when needed, and a box to box monster with more quality on the ball than Gana.

Not necessarily these players but something like

                        Gana
           Doucoure      Lewis Cook

[dunkster]

Working on the fonseca model of the 2 defensive midfielders, one is very defensive, holding player (gana and baningime)
The other player is a box to box, pick a pass, turn defence into attack type. I don't believe we possess anyone like that. (I think it's a position fred does for fonseca this season.)

[Mac934]

Anyone who can pass a ball forwards and to an Everton player.
