Not really the thread for it but in all the talk about Brands and the signings he did make, this is one of the scariest things for me. I don't mind admitting that Holgate's progress has surprised me, but it's massively concerning that it appears to have surprised our DoF too. He should really have been saying last summer that we didn't need a centre half and telling Silva to use Holgate. That he didn't, and was seemingly willing to drop £30m on someone to push him down the pecking order - possibly even sell him - shouldn't go under the radar.Alex Iwobi looks every inch the panic signing he was. Sometimes it's just better to just keep your powder dry. We did this at centre back last summer and whilst we as fans were disappointed, the result was that Mason Holgate was closer to the first team.
Our season would not be different one tiny bit had we never signed this chump, and all of the minutes he's had pretending to be an Everton player this season could have gone to someone else, like Anthony Gordon.
Instead now we're stuck with a £35 million pound turkey for probably a good few years because our DoF and former manager got a bit concerned that Wilf Zaha did not arrive.

It's a weird one this. I don't disagree, but he reminds me a bit of Sigurdsson in this regard. He sort of notionally works hard, like he covers ground and gets back in position etc, but he doesn't always put his foot in or go looking for the ball. You always come away thinking he could have done more.He certainly was poor, works hard, but creates nothing from wide positions.
