Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

[Colonel Getafe]

Everton fan here. Digne has two left feet and runs in circles. He's a tik tok player.
1 good game in 6.

LOL. I can just imagine our back line trying to do some in sync twaat-dance before every set piece gets boinked into our area unimpeded... ?

People saying it’s only a loan or it’s low risk need to look at the level of damage having Rondon in the squad has done.

We don’t have the depth to carry passengers and it looks like this bloke is one.

You’re not wrong in that we can’t have anymore passengers but I am prepared to see what he brings. Maybe will surprise, maybe will be another waste of space but I think we need to give the lad a chance

We do - well he’s here now so we’ve got no option - but it’s a massive risk.

Agree. But you never know. But based on previous experience it is likely to be a mistake

 

[Mosh Pit]

The term “confidence player” was invented for this bloke.

Ffs.

Wait until he gets 'Goodison Parked'

You're such a fanny Kev lad hows a short deal loan a "massive risk?" lol

Loans carry a cost?

 

[ParisToffee]

Will support the lad if he gets on the pitch for us but see no logical reason for his signing, even if its on loan ;-(

 

[Sphinn]

No, doesn't really do crossing. Pens for a lot of those goals.

Sounds like he's more like Pienaar then, in that he cuts inside rather than outside? Still odd since he is right footed and is listed as a right winger. Can we expect lots of back passes? Seems like we can never get enough of those...

So looks like El Ghazi has ignored Shandy Andy’s pleading to not having anything to do with us.

I assume you thought the free transfer Rondon carried no risk as well?

His presence on the pitch has contributed hugely to the 6 points in 36 run of form.

Let's not be too hasty Kev. It's a 5 month loan deal with an option not obligation to buy (as far as I know). If he does really well, we have a price locked in. If he doesn't --and I suspect he'll probably be a bit part player-- we send him back. No harm done.

I prefer that to splooging £35m upfront and a 5 year deal at 100k a week for a squad player. Sensible approach for once (albeit for a player we don't really need).

My worry is if for some reason Benitez elects to persist with a failing player like he has with Rondon.

This would be the Shandy Andy who was "too troubled" to come to work for a few years, but had no problem picking up his wages every week...

I'm sure Benghazi is better than Rondon. Hell, his nan is probably better than Rondon. Not even sure if Benny wanted him or not. If not, he wont play much. At least we can send him back in summer. Rondon's here for 18 months unless we pay him off.
