Wiggytop Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Happy he's gone, never was going to be good enough to wear our shirt. ive never seen a player tackle or head a ball so unorthodoxly, watching him week in week out was tortour, and he caused the team to be completely unbalanced as anyone playing in front of him was petrified he'd make a mistake and they needed to hang back to cover him.

I’m not arsed about Williams because his Everton career is effectively over but I sincerely hope that Coco “comes good” enough for them to buy him.

Ghoat Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 A Cuco sighting! He played CB last night for Curacao in the 1-0 snoozefest. I'm not sure if he played well, or the toothless attack didn't give him much to do. But oddly, he looked more comfortable at CB than playing FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered that myself (I think there were at least 2 if not 3) especially after one of the commentators said a majority of the players were raised in the Netherlands.

They play for the same club in the 2nd division of Dutch football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather give Holgate a go but, as back up, I think he’d be an ok stopgap for half a season. If Seamus got injured early in the season, then a RB would be primary target in January. If after that, primary target for next summer. But only a half season max backup, unless he does well of course pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 14 hours ago, Palfy said: Am I the only one who thinks he would be better cover for Coleman than Holgate at RB. Neither Holgate nor Martina would be excellent as RB backup, but either would probably be adequate. Martina was simply overmatched at LB. I’d be satisfied with Holgate/Martina as 4th/5th choice CH and 2d/3d choice RB. Backline priority is obviously keeping Zouma, or buying a comparably talented starter, with Mina beginning the season as 3d choice CH. Given our desperate needs for a starting CH and 1st choice striker, hoping to find a 2d choice RB — one significantly better than Martina/Holgate and who would be willing to sit most matches — seems misplaced focus to me.
