How embarrassing. I was there practically sitting in the front row and a load of us thought Conor was Luke Garbutt. When he went past us warming up, we all shouted to Luke. Oops. Sorry lad.

lol I thought the exact same thing. It's the hair :oops:
 

About to be 23 the lad. He's missed his early development due to injuries. Just get the feeling its too late for him to make a cut as by this age you don't come into the first team like a 18/19 year old but if Bobby feels he can be given a run in and he bags a couple of goals he'll be Kone's ticket out of Everton.

I don't think its to late for him, look at Ryan Mason at Spurs last season, impressed his manager in preseason (age 23) then got given a chance in the first team at the start of the season and is now a first team regular and full England international.
 

You'd think by 23 he would have broken into the first team by now if he was good enough but that might not be the case with this lad - injures have really stopped his development.

In some ways it might work in his favour - he hasn't had the pressure of being labelled 'the next Gazza' or whatever ridiculous statement at a young age, after one good season by the media - like they have with Ross and Sterling.

I have to be honest, I haven't seen enough of him to know if he's good enough of not - hopefully he is as that gives us another well needed attacking option.
 
in my own opinion, he is a teamwork player. compare with other striker in first team, his pass accuracy is the highest. i think he can be a The False 9 that means deep-lying striker, another type striker
 
....managing expectation I think the lad has still got a lot to prove. Saying that, the club have persisted with him so they clearly think he's got a chance. Here's hoping.
