Goodison Glory Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 "Everton kick off their campaign with a tricky trip to Old Trafford on Aug 7".....some seriously sloppy fact checking there. Guess it is the Mirror!! StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Decent player to be fair. Not world class, but an above average player. Can be very dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Too unpredictable for his own teammates to be a worthwhile signing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 If there was a player to go for at Newcastle, it would be Almeron (sp?). Though I'd rather neither and look for better Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 no thank you - We already have plenty of players that don't score goals. 6 goals and 8 assist in 51 Prem appearances over two seasons!! We need much better attacking players that this. There will be much better value around this season. Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 I’ve only watched him five or six times, but am I missing something? He was a bit of a better Traore wasn’t he? Very fast, very strong, very direct, very much a massive handful. A harder working Zaha for me. Better than a lot of players we have, but the price would have to be right. Not sure why people are writing him off so easily though. Maybe I only saw his good games haha. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was £20-30 million it’s about right. Exactly the type of player we need at RW, still think Leon Bailey is the best option however Romey 1878, markjazzbassist and Sibdane 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be ecstatic if we signed him. RuffRob and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Should we be worried that we'll next be looking to recruit someone from Dalian Professional? This is depressing. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get that mate, but when I have watched he seems to be the one setting up the chances, but they aren’t being finished. Isn’t  that more on the striker than him? Newcastle we’re poor as an offensive outfit, but he stood out for me. But again, I o it watched him five or six times. Against us he was a royal pain in the ass.

RuffRob Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 just wondering if he was that great (£50M+) why do other 'big' teams not appear to be after him? He does seem to have great feet, but what is his final ball/shot/cross like? does he get dispossessed much? Is there much substance to him - otherwise could be a lot of money spend for little actual tangible return. I have not seen a great deal of him for full games - he has 'looked' good, but his business end of the field stats are nothing special when you look at them. Will we be be paying all this money to see a 'dozen' or so great dribbles a season, but little real return?  £50M is a lot of money this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggytop Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 At £50m no way,  up to £30m then it’s OK, he is threatening when he runs but the end product is a bit iffy, but there is always room for improvement.( unless its Iwobi ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 I wouldn't sign this lad for 15mil let alone 50mil. Madness. pete0, Romey 1878 and Palfy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
