Good luck Ben. Hopefully you get your lungs back in Italy

Good luck and good on him to leave on positive terms.

Interesting thread that. Who have we got the best out of since Moshiri has owned us.

Gana

Pickford, Richarlison, DCL, Tarkowski, Branthwaite to name a few.

All the best to Godfrey now get rid of Keane and Holgate

 

[knowing your history]

Wanted him gone for 18 months. 10m is a pretty good fee really, was expecting more a couple of million like Holgate as he's really been poor since 2021 bar the odd decent game like the derby.

However....he still covered full back and you'd rather have him in at CB than the other two backups so he does need to be replaced.

The current FB options are Patterson, Coleman, Young and Myko so you're just one injury away from no depth on the bench and two players not far off 40. Keane and Holgate as current CB backups is the obvious disaster waiting to happen.

I hope he does well for himself, but glad to be almost rid of all of the dead weight. Godfrey was one of the last 3 pieces of it from the pre Kev era. Only Holgate and Keane left now, though I suppose only one MIGHT be sold, but thankfully all will be gone next season.

Im assuming we are definitely psr compliant now

Always likes him. And put in some of his best performances when we needed him towards the end of the season.

Strange move i think though, goes to the one league in Europe you don't need pace as a CB. And that's his biggest strength, good luck to him there.

However just as Kroldrup found out, you don't really need to be good in the air there, either. Which is one of his biggest weaknesses.

Always enjoyed his passion he showed in celebrating big wins. Finished his Everton career on a relative high with some good performances second half of the season and a couple of very important last ditch clearances / interceptions. Good luck to Ben in his next chapter, hope he does well there. I hold Atalanta in high regard especially after knocking the rs out of europe

Flashes of brilliance. Thank you for the highes

 

[HTCHERO]

Wish him all the best and hope he kicks on

Best of luck Ben. Think Covid, injuries and managerial upheaval hasn't helped him as a player tbh

Im assuming we are definitely psr compliant now

….I assume, only if the necessary paperwork has gone through before the international market opens on Monday.
