If it was a way of getting some money back - you'd think Keane would save us more than an OB loan.
Or he just needs more playing time than he will get.

O'Brien was Textor shenanigans.
Just another example of the circus of Everton.

I don't think he's a genuine option but we're almost certainly recalling Welch from his loan. He might be able to do the job of the 4th cb, essentially just a body in training for 11 vs 11 drills.
See it similar to the beto deal with the lack of money we have and most likely wanted another cb. The club did scout him but problem is us fans still hwve no idea if he is even good enough becuase just hasnt had any game time
With Beto, we signed him 29th Aug. Window shut 2 days later.
We had to sell that window first/make a profit and defer spend to later.
The season had started.
We were bottom of the league after 3 games, having not scored a goal.
Eventually we sign a player who was available for literally £0 upfront. There's not many of them.
We paid a premium for him under that arrangement, but we would never have signed him if hands weren't tied. If he was a priority he'd have been in earlier.
I think O'Brien was different - I think it was Textor shenanigans. He was never starting for us this season, we didn't need to spend that money on cover at centre half. It was reported he was a "recruitment team signing" - in other words, Dyche didn't want him.
It's the reality of significant migitating circumstances with Everton's recruitment challenges over the last 3-4 years, caused by ownership.
We've brought in players I dont think Thelwell, nevermind Dyche would have wanted the last few years. Harrison, just because a clause allows £0. Even the likes of Lindstrom - he was far down the list.

Yes. If we went down to 3 then it’s absolutely nailed on that Branthwaite does his hamstring and Tarks gets sent off in the next match.
Would be madness to willingly drop to 3 central defenders in a relegation battle.

I don't follow the under 20's or what ever its now called as we don't seem to be producing much anyone know if we have a young centre half that's half decent if needed ?

We have Jake O’Brien if needed. It’s not like we’re knocking back £20 million offers for him. Keep and decide in the summer.

I was thinking if they off load Obrien as he doesnt look like he will get a look in with Dyche , i suspect if we get 2 injuries Young would slot in

just thinking off to my head, Harry Wilson as stop gap loan? fast , quick feet, eye for goal, that big unit up front for Luton who looked semi decent last season?
Billy Dean

Don’t see why he’d leave Fulham for us.
Also doesn’t fit what Dyche is doing. No attacking players do really. I defend Dyche more than others but his tactics don’t provide our attacking players with the chance to show their best selves
Possibly yes, but let's be honest no one really knows if he's good enough for the premier league as he hasn't been given chance.
It's pointless to look at any signings other than players who can add goal threat
No mate ,none that could step up
The decision to spend our remaining summer budget on another centre half, remains one of the worst pieces of transfer business I have ever seen.
