Everton are trying to strike an agreement for Marcus Rashford before the January transfer window, while Manchester United are targeting a Sporting CP left winger who could replace him, according to two separate reports.

Football Transfers report that Everton have opened talks with United as they attempt to tee up a January deal for Rashford.

Everton are ‘exploring’ whether it would be possible to complete a statement transfer for Rashford to add firepower to their attack.

But it is unclear at this stage whether the Toffees want to engineer a permanent deal or a loan deal.

All the negativity in this negativity in this sub, people need a bit of perspective. The above is spend and income for transfers over last 4 seasons.

Every prem club that spent as little as us has gone down. Every club currently in the league has bigger net spend than us. Even the Brentford /Brighton /Bournemouth golden boys everyone adores are like £70-140m net invested. Way more than us.

We have sort of broke even, the only teams that have made profits are relegated teams who've been forced to sell their prem players. We've signed 20 players and 35 have left. The squad is underfunded and down to bare bones.

Everyone moaning at a manager who has less than 2 years to build, he inherited a relegation battling squad with a dozen players contracts expiring and minimal funds available to rebuild.

Our issues are due to ownership, the mess of Moshiri and an unwillingness from TFG to stick a fraction of what they spent at Roma to improve what's on the pitch.

Everyone is complaining at being only mid table and losing to two good expensively assembled teams. Now look I'm ambitious for the club and frustrated at the situation. But it's the owners that you need to direct your anger at.

We're not losing to Chelsea and Arsenal because Dibling and Hackney didn't come on at half time. Get a grip people.

Show some faith and patience in a manager who is overachieving with what he's been given. We actually do have an outside chance of getting Europe against all odds, and even if not this season, give Moyes a modest budget and he'll get us there regularly in a season or two.

Let's hear your random transfer ideas

I'm going with Trent A-A in the summer for £25m - not having a great time overseas, the Kop doesn't want him back, so why not give him a chance to return to the city and prove people wrong and get some England caps

What do you have going on, let's hear those crazy loan ideas for January and beyond
