Sibdane Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I don't think it's a bad deal at all, but I really hope the intent of the signing isn't to replace Gana, because he can't and won't. Happy to be proven wrong though. markjazzbassist and Cisk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like others have said though: I don't think he came here to be cover. I'm expecting him to start and Gana to be off. If we keep Gana then I'll be ecstatic with this signing. If not, and he's expected to start every game with an injury record like he has, then I'll be very disappointed. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I can’t see us getting Zouma. That means that £30 mill will be put aside. I think Mina will be held in high regard after the Copa. We will sign a cheaper alternative. We have Holgate behind that and Gibson and feeney. What I mean is it feels that we have a plan. Lookman going soon. Its looking hopeful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Holgate has looked good in his two friendlies so far; granted, they weren't against the best opposition. I think we'll have a better idea of how reliable he is after the Werder Bremen and Monaco matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Holgate is a good player, he was solid under koeman and did well in the championship. He will be fine off the bench. Not sure about Gibson or feeney I don’t know enough about them but we have the league and 2 cups. Standard fixture list. Our fourth cb last year jags got like 3 apps.

I hope he isn’t deployed principally as box-to-box. As you (Fb) posted earlier, he played mostly as a sitter at City. And that’s the best kind of partner for Gomes. As for doing Gana’s role, it seems highly (actually, ridiculously) unlikely that Delph could replicate anything approaching Gana’s manic brilliance/madness. If Gana’s role is narrowly (and misleadingly) defined as a protecting DM, ok, Delph could (and I hope he does) play that position; but that has not been Gana’s actual role.

markjazzbassist Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 we don't have the CB for 352 matt. it's 433 or 4231 i believe just like last year. maybe delph will rotate with gylfi? can he score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Think he scored a few for villa and Leeds. Not on a Cahill or speed level but he bagged a couple a season at least. I just don’t like three at the back it’s just not the Everton way. At the end of the day we have signed Delph who should be happy to be here. He knows there is no right for a shirt so if he’s not producing he won’t play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco quoting Delph is not a replacement for gana and If he goes he will sign a replacement Think Silva is just chatting poop. No way will he be playing a midfield of Gana, Delph, and Gomes. Delph hasnt come to sit on the bench. We've been looking for a midfielder long before Gana was going so makes sense that we'd still be after another if he leaves.
