Think it's v difficult to make the case for paying the fee.

I don't think he's a bad player, but it's hard to see him ever justifying the fee. Doesn't score goals, isn't particularly creative and there were even question marks about his work rate earlier in the season.

Maybe he'd get better with a second season, but given there is a world of players to pick from, why deliberately pay £20m for a player who has, at best, flattered to deceive for most of the time.

Like a lot of fans I want him to fit in at Everton but I honestly think the Premier League is just too physical for him and he hasn’t proved he is good enough besides not completing one full game for the Blues.

It’s a chronic sign of the times that our entire midfield (13) has scored less than one of Bournemouths players (Kluivert) and less than Mbeumo and equal with Wissa of Brentford in the league this season.

It’s completely unacceptable to have a midfield bereft of goal scoring candidates, and I beg you not to check the assists record for them which is borderline criminal for a midfield.

They didn't have Dyche as their manager for half the season. The difference in our attacking threat between then and now is staggering really
 

It's all on these loan lads to prove they're worth a contract in the summer (Lindstrom, Harrison and Alcaraz). We do still need squad players, but we don't have the finances to be paying big money for squad players.

I don't think Lindstrom is beyond getting a contract, but he needs to show what he's capable of in the next 9 games. Also, it very much depends on Napoli's expectations, because they're definitely going to have to take a loss on Lindstrom to sell him to us as things stand.

It's great that we have loanees who want to play for us, but we also need them to be able to affect games and improve the squad.

We've got a 20m deal in place so Napoli are already taking a 10m hit compared to what they paid.

Problem is, he hasn't shown he's worth 20m so I'd be very surprised if Moyes signed him. I was thinking possibly another loan but even then, we'd probably be disappointed if he was making starts.

Jack Harrison has done more than enough to prove 100% that he's absolutely crap and only a mad man would consider permanently signing him.

Yea, I wouldn't be spending £20M on Lindstrom. I very much doubt that our budget could allow that sort of spend on a squad player. That said, if he smashes in a winner at the RS in a couple of weeks, then sign him up 😆

To me he's a slower version of Demari Gray but he cost buttons.

And if I'm being honest, I'd rather have a Dermari Gray type player for that price to add pace and depth in the squad.

Hudson Odi cost £3mill. Elanga (turned us down) cost £15mill for example.

There's more effective cheaper.
