Excellent keeper, probably the best in Ireland and this is his first season playing 1st team football, hard to see how he would fit in at Everton and the talk there of loaning him back makes sense if it is happening.
Very loose Everton connection but his father Phil was Big Nevs understudy for the Welsh u21s back in the day.

Does McNeil say hi as well?El Ghazi says hi
Great, isn't it.... Tongues in cheek or lolling out the window. Doesn't matter.I know mate my tongue is in my cheek a bit but I am nervous its a big gamble this late in the window
I'm at the same time, impressed by such mathematical research, but also questioning if some fans are more into the financial transactions side of football than football itself. Am I missing out on being excited by numbers...or is this some way of finding excitement when it is clearly lacking on the pitch?Looking at our activity from a FFP perspective:
Thus far - we have paid some loan fees (and no doubt received some) but the key deals have been Onana, McNeill and Richarlison
The Incoming pair are on 5 year deals and we paid in the region of £34M and £20M respectively - this means the cost in year to be written down will be IRO of £11M
Richarlison left for £50M which will go straight onto the books as a NBV gain of £42M (we paid £40M and had written down 4/5 years of that - to £8M)
So the net effect - give or take any loan costs is a POSITIVE of around £31M
What else might we know: If we should lose Gordon for £50M (or even more) that boosts the bottom line to £81M or more.
You might be interested in the approx asset value of the current squad based on fees paid and remainder of initial contract - we only appear to have a handful of players with existing values on the accounts (approximate figures)
Mina £6M, Patterson £10M, Mykolenko £16M, Nkoukou small (less than £100K), Godfrey £12M, Doucoure £7M, Gomes £9M, Gbamin £9M, Gray £1.2M, Iwobi £11M, Allan £7M as well as the new arrivals at their present Transfer fee paid (£54M) - players of repute with a NBV of nil include Pickford, Tarko, Holgate, Keane, Coleman, Gordon, Davies, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Townsend and possibly Alli (if we shift or demote him before any fee is due to Spurs)
So the NBV of the entire squad is around £142M and the hit on the accounts this season (currently) would be around £62M which is, of course, already anticipated for this current FY.
Welcome back to our manI can see another Rondon type older experienced striker, coming in last minute deadline day.
Should free us up to do plenty mate, it's just getting them doneIf we could get Gbamin, Dele and Allan off the wage bill that's probably 12-13m off the annual wage bill, plus 10m we don't have to budget for Dele's appearances, even without any fees being received, even with fairly nominal transfer / loan fees that's £25m saved.
Probably means we can do some half-decent business even without selling Gordon, and if Gordon goes we could see some serious spending- it may even be that the 25m we've apparently offered for both MGW or Pedro is in the existing pre-Gordon budget rather than dependent on a sale. Obviously a lot of the money saved on wages goes back on in wages when we sign players but if the deals are reasonably structured there should still be quite a lot to play with.
Wouldn't be an Everton window without us signing a keeper.
Where's this.?Chelsea have offered 6m signing on fee and 180k a week to Gordon. He’s gone
Think a few journos have been saying personal terms were agreed already. Coming down to how Chelsea structure the deal.Chelsea have offered 6m signing on fee and 180k a week to Gordon. He’s gone
Yeah that's what I thought about playing him for 90mins last night I doubt he starts on the weekend whether we have anyone in or not
It's just some made up nonsense. Nobody is paying Gordon 180k a week and committing almost £50m in wages to him in his current state. Probably treble his wages to about £75k a week or so though.Where's this.?
