Transfer Rumour El Bilal Touré

The reports from both Myers and Romano are that Everton are "pushing hard " for the deal, that would indicate that they feel they are still in the mix to sign him.

We have been told Atlanta are also interested but not told where they are in negotiations.

From an Everton perspective it would be great to be able to sign a 21 year old centre forward who is highly rated (I know nothing whatsoever about the player) but if he doesn't sign there are other players and it seems we do have funds available.
 

I don't know much about this lad but if Atalanta are interested also then I'd say that points to good signs for his talent.
 

If we end up signing him obviously I hope he does well but,reported here in Spain that his serious thigh injury was caused when he started a sprint in training..🤔
 
Does this deserve its own thread ?

All we know is that we have bid on the player and pushing hard.

The fact that it’s still in the balance tells me he is not convinced about us or would prefer Atalanta, otherwise we would be so much closer to signing by now.

Im just going to say it - im cautious about signing this lid, because hes 21 and developing. I know the theory sign young players, develop them, they improve we get our money back etc - its what we should be doing.

I am however cautious, its absolutely the type of player we have failed to progress time and time again - Lookman, Vlasic, Gordon, Kean - we failed to build on any of them despite their talent and potential and sold them on without any menagingful impact in the first team. Its a profile i think we are shcokingly bad at in developing. Kean himself a case in point, we didnt have a striker last season and we had one we paid 28 mill for - out on loan at another club - because we faild to develop him. Im cautious this lad fits a similar profile.

In all fairness Kev may be doing a better job than Brands, in that in the 12 months here hes developed say Patterson, Onana and Garner in that profile and that's my hope, as opposed to what Brands did.

But still im a little cautious given our predisposition to boom and bust with this profile of player and how important a position it is for us in the season ahead - we cant afford to get it wrong.

Nothing against the lad himself, he could be boss for all i know, ive only seen Youtube cliips.
