You'd like to think he can stay fitter by being a second choice striker rather than being relied upon as the main striker as at Everton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fucking useless. We're better off not signing anyone than him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 He’s absolutely useless. Can our scouts not find an emerging talent like Fulham did with Muniz, or anyone like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFCDoog Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 When you buy a player from a lesser club, and Everton currently are, it's never a good sign when they're not arsed to be losing them at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 The worst part to this for me is it further confirms the sluggish approach of our recruitment behind the scenes. He's been a free agent for a week now (and that will have been widely known behind the scenes that he wasn't renewing at Everton) yet we're only just entering talks now?

GEFAFWISP Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 This cunt is all-time bad at finishing, I can't find anyone close to this level of underperforming against expectation. Giving him a bumper free transfer pay packet and likely 4/5 year contract is ropey business. Make it work Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowgatePigeon Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 (edited) Maybe I'm being naive but I thought the takeover would have meant bringing in a state of the art analytics and data team to help unearth hidden gems from across the globe. DCL is such a lazy and uninspiring transfer, the kind of move we'd have made under Steve Bruce. Not the worst player to have as a 2nd choice striker but I was hoping we'd be able to do so much better.

Miggys First Goal Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 When he inevitably signs, we’ll be told by all the pundits that we should be grateful that he’s decided to join us. Thankful that he decided to lower his standards and join our little club up in the north east. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s scored 17 goals in the last 4 seasons (92 games) scoring more than 5 goals in only one of them. I’d rather just give Osula more of a go Edited July 7, 2025 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
