True, but he also has the same positional and concentration issues Lascelles has. He’s very adept physically though; maybe under a good defensive coach he’d be worth a punt, not convinced he’d be right for us now.

Not a fan of Diop.

Targett would be a very solid addition, no-brainer on a loan imo.

Another thing I like about those compilations is that it looks like he’s already used to players scuffing chances after he’s beautifully played them through. Perfect.

interesting…

How many underperforming midfielders do Everton want?

Wouldn’t want Diop if I’m honest. Also… why couldn’t we do that deal Caleta Car?

Everything was pointing to us signing 2 marquee cb’s this month so would be slightly surprised if they didn’t try to throw a Hail Mary bid in for a big name (which I would imagine would be rejected anyway )

1 of Lingard, Ali or Dembele and I think we’re done. Bound to be another big bid for another CB (Inacio or whoever) rejected on the last day too, I reckon.

13 million for an in-form PL defender in one of the best defenses in the league isn’t all that much.

Yeah, we need more goals in the team for sure.

The Brighton poster was raving about him man

Well he’s better than our other cb’s, so there’s that.

@samptime29Not convinced any of our Lb options are good enough to justify a 5 at the back tbh. Possibly against the better teams if we’re looking to park the bus.

Think it’s 2 tops after Bruno and Burn, personally.

Understandable really , we’ve been more or less at the same level for a while now; they’ve streamlined their operation to work very well on a modest budget while we’ve been a perennial laughing stock. All of a sudden we’re the richest club in the world and looking to leave them in our dust. Must be like seeing your scruffy neighbor win the lottery.

Phew. Nice to get this sorted; seems like a budget option to Botman but needs must.

Dubravka is massively overrated; Henderson is a huge upgrade on him.

Ohh Henderson would be good. Desperately need a cb and a pacey forward/ rw option though.

Weird thing to focus on ffs.

Don’t have the stomach to watch or listen to all that but what a disgrace, if true. World at your feet son, and you’ve fucked it. Absolute scumbag.

Coady is fine in a 3 but by God is he slow. He’d get murdered for pace in a back 2, imo.

Us and Spurs I’d imagine.

This just in. Lyon want 50 million now.

Really hope we go for Brennan Johnson tbh.
