RuffRob Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 https://tbrfootball.com/everton-now-one-step-away-from-signing-exceptional-27m-forward-pl-rival-turned-down-this-summer/ I would feel a whole lot more optimistic if both Gnonto and Danjuma where added to the squad. I think Gnonto is still to young to be consider week in week out starter, so a Danjuma on loan for 12 months help give the young lad some breathing space to develop at a steady pace. I think the two in tandem would be a good move. finger crossed on the pair of them. Matt Tiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hold it against him that he u-turned once Lampard was sacked, what I hold against him is the way he went about it. He could, and should, have put something out just explaining that and I'm sure the majority would have understood. But he was a snake about it and it showed what sort of a person he is really.

RuffRob Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/player-analysis-arnaut-danjuma/ I am looking forward to seeing him get a good run of games. It sounds as though he will offers a lot more offensively and at least give opposition teams something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 This is a Lampard signing if it happens and he doesn’t strike me as a Dyche type of player, so I’m guessing owner and remaining directors presiding over this signing. Either way he’ll get a last minute offer from a team in the CL and will do another u-turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is much more to Dyche than what his football was like at Burnley, I am sure he has not come to Everton to try and build a Burnley type squad. Also good to see some consistently in targeted players across different managers, otherwise what is the point of a DoF. Club have done due diligence on Danjuma, so nothing wrong in pursuing him if Dyche agrees he would be a beneficial addition to the squad. On to many occasions the club has swung between the whims of different managers tastes in players. Dyche has had discussions with Danjuma by accounts. He may not be the best out there, but I don't think Damjuma is a slouch when it comes to defensive duties, but with pace, trickery, unpredictability and goal scoring abilities I am sure he will work well in a team that will be utilizing counter attacking as a major part of the offensive game. I think he will turn out to be a good player for us, and is a significant improvement on Gray.

Wall Writer Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 I hope he comes here to prove a point after snubbing us in January and sitting on Spurs' bench for the remainder. Wasn't hopeful of getting him once AC Milan started getting rumoured, but the optimist in me is hoping it's one of those "it was always meant to be" things and he turns out to be out new Pienaar. The only thing that worries me is that its said to be done by the weekend - that's 48 hours away! MikeO and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given that to me he is a (better) Gray replacement. We should be able to comfortably sell Gray now for a reasonable fee, then reinvest the majority of that into a signing that better suits us.

Matt Tiger Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Also, thrilled that he seems to truly be able to play across the front three, which is huge for us. We know we'll be shorthanded at points this year so bringing in players who have some positional flexibility is incredibly important.

Well he’s doing pretty decent job of it at the moment imo. Danjuma isn’t a player who wants to be chasing back from what I’ve seen of him which won’t go down well with Dyche he expects that of every player with no exceptions. So that means probably 2 things happen Danjuma doesn’t change his style so gets dropped, or he does and that results in what he’s better at being watered down by all the defensive work he will be expected to get through.

Shukes Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 If he isn’t a Dyche player and we do sign him. Then let’s look for a new manager. Cant be doing with another wallflower manager that gets walked over. We need a manager who has Input on the team and helps in making decisions.

Don't see how you can judge him of already of building a Burnley type team - Danjuma is only the second player to come it under his stewardship, with Young the first. This is Dyche's first window for building anything. he's dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't, by the sound of it. Don't want a stereotypical Dyche team, but also don't appear happy with players that don't slot in to the stereotype. I think Danjuma will work fine in both a counter attacking team and also be useful in games where we might dominate the ball a bit more. Like other have said a versatile player across the front line, with two good feet and an eye for goal. I haven't heard of any problems about his general work rate.

I haven't heard of any problems about his general work rate. I agree he has those attributes I just don’t think we will get to see them that much when he spends more time in his own half. A great comparison for that is Iwobi picked to start every single game last season under Dyche, yet ridiculed by most on here, so who’s right Dyche or TT members, Dyche loved him for his work rate in helping the RB, Iwobi was flying in the first half of the season under Lampard. Then you have Gray possibly close to being our most dangerous and exciting midfielder/ winger, yet didn’t fit with Dyche because he didn’t do enough in his own half, and that doesn’t fit in a Dyche set up, he looks for running and hard work before flair and attacking ability, not saying that’s a problem that’s how he sets his team’s up, but you need certain players who have the ability and energy to adapt to that style and I’ve seen nothing that suggests Danjuma has that in his game.

Shukes Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 I’m so think you will see different tactics though Palfy. Last season it was necessary for us to have a team that was as compact as possible. We couldn’t afford to play players like Gray as we were in a desperate situation. We needed an Iwobi to help out at the expense of expressive football. With a clean start, we may see Dyche try to win more matches and so open up with more expressive players. Of course, this is all a maybe. Mickeyblue62 and Palfy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that this style is what Dyche is trying to move us to - though it won’t all happen in one window or even one season, of course. Pat never required or requested help from anyone, in fact the complete opposite would be more an accurate assessment of one of the hardest men to wear an Everton shirt in my time of watching the Blues.
