Fair play, mate, shame, but it is your choice

 

[Dykovski200]

You are wasting your breath , the “fans” have decided he’s crap

Well he must be then ??‍

 

[Bluestar]

Given the amount of injuries we have had and the backlog of games building up. I can see the logic in this move.

We will end up playing twice a week for a period and will pick up more injuries.

He is an experienced player and gets a few goals. He will probably get games in rotation and will play a part in keeping the other forwards fresh.

He is on loan with no obligation to by. A low fee has been agreed and Villa are paying half his wages. In that context, this is a sensible move for us.

We’re you ever happy at anything Everton ? Just wondering ?

Not for a long time

 

[PhilRegan]

Woeful player?!!!
Ffs

Not someone who will take us forward

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Not someone who will take us forward

Scored more than Richie last season, on loan for a few months, how on earth do you know he won’t take us forward??

 

[Blueclouds]

Really can't moan about this deal. If you do then take a look at yourselves

 

[Groucho]

a virulent bed sheet scrawling social media troll hellbent on abusing managers and players

Fact remains they exist, and they’re disgusting.

can’t really loose with this signing the guy will be playing for his future either with us or another hate to quote Rafael win win

 

[Tim's tourettes]

I see the sense in this move. I'm not excited by it in the slightest, mind you I was the same when we signed Gray and Townsend.
I just hope now, bit of stability, and few points on the board. Put relegation out of sight then rebuild (with Benitez gone) next summer.

There are a lot of posts about how we have to give the guy a chance and what not which sure, that's true, we should give him on a personal level a chance to show what he can do for us.

But as far as the business goes we don't need to wait to label this as completely idiotic. It's a position we don't need more players in. It's a position where we risk stunting the growth of our most promising young player by loading up on additional options to limit his minutes. It's a player who has never shown to be anymore than average at this level and who is not at an age where there should be any real expectation for him to get better. And crucially it's a transfer seemingly done by the owner reaching around any of the hopefully knowledgeable football people at the club to do the deal.

I get that everyone wants to wait and see the results before making a judgment. But signing players is about the process. You're going to get some right and some wrong regardless so the key is to have a system that minimizes the bad and amplifies the good. We've shown with this move that once again we are far, far away from the type of business we'll need to do if we have any hope of spending seasons in Europe again. It's really disappointing to see us not learn any lessons and the fact that it comes from the very top with Moshiri makes the situation seem a bit hopeless.

Copy and paste to the Iwobi thread please.

This is just one of those weird loan signings like Enner Valencia that so obviously serve no purpose other than to pad the squad out

 

[Death]

Must start today.

Must start today.

I hope that’s a reference to your car.
