Neil Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Gave a lesson in holding up the ball when they brutalised us at Goodison. Think he's a very decent player, albeit not the sort of player who is going to help us reach the next level. Do want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 What's Everton's shirt sponsor these days btw? Yeah I mentioned in the other thread that apparently he's quite a strict muslim. So strict that he wore last season's Wigan shirt, sponsored by 12bet.com. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's a very decent player, albeit not the sort of player who is going to help us reach the next level. Do want. I think he can help you get up a level/be a really valuable asset for the squad. His playing style already fits in with the Everton ethos (in terms of how hard-working and strong he is) and he has that bit of pace up front which you don't have. Also quite good technically. His games against Everton last year were very good as I recall. Really entertaining games overall too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spark Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I don't really agree that he's hugely reliant on pace. From what I saw of him last season, he's capable of some very clever link up play. I'd be very pleased if sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 If I had a list of 10 strikers in our budget I would like to sign this summer he would be number 10, and I cant believe people rate him as a player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 He can play the wide forward role as well I believe. If he's the only striker signing we make then this is a poor move. If he is to add options, an Ameobi replacement for example, then it's a good signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, if he's our only striker signing then it's very underwhelming. As someone to push Shola down the pecking order it's pretty good IMO.

Dr.Spaceman Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 If I had a list of 10 strikers in our budget I would like to sign this summer he would be number 10, and I cant believe people rate him as a player 5 million for a 1 in 3 goals per game striker, when you've got 1 semi-decent striker at the club isn't bad iyam.

Teasy Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I don't think wanting to sign a player for a reasonable fee who would improve us suggests low expectations. We've signed numerous players far worse than Arouna Kone in our history. As people have said, if he's the only signing then its disapointing overall, but as a first signing it would be very positive IMO, and far better than Darren Bent.
