Shukes Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Joe Anderson. Come through the youth system. He is nowhere near the first team yet though, but does look promising. Hate using that word these days… it’s like a curse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the priorities, just not the justification to dismiss CB reinforcements. If Zouma is available for 20m, its a no brainer for me though.

How many of our back to back U23 league winners have made it into the first team? Thats why no one considers these lads as first team options yet.

Beni was a star and should have been starting ahead of every midfielder we have had at the club in the last 3 years. As he wasnt getting any game time that his talent has deserved he has now sealed his big money move to one of Europes elite clubs... Hearts... for the cost of his contract.

Yea, there are several levels between U-23 and the premier league. Not too many make it through. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 He wants 100k a week so I don’t think we will pay that kind of wage for a centre back for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidharper Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Would love to have him back but would be a tough deal to pull off this summer. Bringing him in after the loan would have been the time. Plus no one is knocking down our doors for any of our current CBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I’d love Zouma back. Godfrey, Zouma & Mina is excellent coverage for CB with Holgate to hopefully shape up to his potential as 4th option and sell Keane. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Made up he's going to West Ham, he's bang average but Evertonians seem to wear these mad tinted glasses for him. He would make us arguably better, but marginally to the extent that we wouldn't see any benefit from it.
