Bill Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 He'll be better a centre half....... His agent. "In my opinion, he is a player worth 60 million euros. It’s time for him to play as a centre-back. There he would be a top player in all four major leagues and would make a great career.” Centre-back has become something of a problem position in itself at Goodison Park, with Phil Jagielka departing for Sheffield United, Yerry Mina still unconvincing and Kurt Zouma heading back to Chelsea after his loan expiry. His versatility would give Gbamin a real head-start in his Everton career but for him to truly replace Gueye – as is the main function of his signing – fans must be patient and allow the 23-year-old to grow in confidence, adjust to the demands of the Premier League and develop his footballing intelligence.

This is why Delph is such an astute signing. Delph being here allows us to ease Gbamin in as he’ll more than likely take time to adjust to his new life/surroundings.

mcirony Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I think he's been brought in because of his quick transition play. If you watch his highlights videos he almost always plays a forward pass/diagonal immediately after he's made a tackle/interception. He's going to have Bernard and Richarlison to aim for so we should be pretty rapid in the counter next season. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 He is the future Gana is the past, from the very little I’ve seen of him he is an improvement, he can tackle maybe not as prolific as Gana was but maybe doesn’t need to be if our retention of the ball is better, for me his passing is far superior so he can win the ball and deliver it, and if his positioning is good as well Gana will be forgotten very quickly.

Shukes Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Gana has gone, if he ends up 75% the player I will be more than happy, as long as we get creativity ahead of him.... which it looks like we’re doing. Cant wait to see this lad in action. I wanted Lemina to be honest, but the more I read about this lad, the more excited I become. Sounds like another that has the potential (I know we hate that word at Everton) to become an excellent player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I know nothing about him tbh but he seems confident in himself and Brands and Silva obviously rate him highly because they went straight for him once the Gana deal was happening, so he's their first choice. barryj, Shukes, StevO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I’m trusting they are building a whole picture, rather than replacing the Gana hole, and it seems they are. Its always a worry when new players come into the premier league, but they seem to have identified their targets early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Exciting and refreshing that we signed a replacement for Gana 2 or 3 days after he left. Pickford - 25 Keane - 26 Zouma? - 24 Digne - 26 Gomes - 26 Gbamin - 23 Bernard - 26 Richy - 22 Kean - 19 9 of our starting 11 would be under 27, exciting to see a young fresh squad. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 On the videos his positioning looks sound but he might need time to adjust as he'll not get that much time on the ball here to pick a pass after winning the ball, few floaters in the clips that he'd need to play faster or make sure the player is free/there is time for the ball to get there. Much higher tempo in the prem, he might need a season. Wouldn't mind if we tried him at the back straight away as his positioning looks good enough and he'd get more time in the ball. Can see why his agent is bigging him up for there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 More info on J-P, I've brought it back to the proper thread ..... "Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wanted to sign the 23-year-old defensive midfielder back in January 2018, and wanted to utilise him as a centre-back but Mainz were unwilling to let him go at that time because they were in a relegation fight. As a result, Liverpool looked elsewhere and ended up signing Fabinho instead. The 23-year-old has a versatility to his game that will make him a very useful member of the squad as he can play all across the backline and in defensive midfield. This will be especially useful considering the ongoing struggle to land Kurt Zouma" Dont shoot the messenger, I know he was bought as a cdm but just saying he can play as central defender.
