Kenny + 10 million for McKennie

Kenny + 10 million for McKennie

Id have guessed more of a straight swap or £2-3mil from us.

He's the physical presence Everton need in midfield, but not creative

I am not A big fan of stats (nor do I understand most of them) but the one stating his concentration is very weak would make him a doubt for me. Concentration in the prem is crucial due to the pace it is played at. Joseph Yobo was a very accomplished centre half, but he had a brain fart in him in every game, often in dangerous areas. My poor old ticker couldn’t handle another Yobo type.

7 losses, two draws.
22 conceded and 5 scored is pretty darn awful.

It's not really up for debate

What does that have to do with buying a promising player that has performed pretty well in a challenging league on a crap team?

Just seen in a later post that he is a midfielder, so ignore all the nonsense I have just spouted, I need more coffee!

You confused with Todibo mate?. McKennie is a young US midfielder. Not sure he's much of an upgrade on what we've got currently.

I think in a midfield of two he would do what Gomes does better. And he's much faster.

Not confused with anyone mate, I have as much knowledge of foreign players as your average bathmat! I just noticed he had very good defensive stats and assumed he was a centre half, then mentioned that having very weak concentration would make him a dodgy signing I never cross swords with the lads on here regarding foreign players, I only know of the likes of Messi etc. The less known ones are all a complete mystery to me.

I have never heard of the 4th player but I am against him signing , or any other player with “kone” in their name

Haha I can assure you he’s good but I respect your logic.

Sorry,I forgot to run all transfer thread posts and opinions by "The Grand transfer Wizard Nymzee"....I'll take myself off to the "mountains of embarrassment" to give myself the 50 self inflicted lashing I deserve....Sorrrry myyy Looord

You’re excused.

Yank activated. McKennie is a very aggressive trackler in the middle, who Im pretty sure never pulled out of a tackle in his life. He has some major snide and major attitude, and gives it pretty good. Hes almost a box to box because hes eager to get forward(and Schalke have had him further forward at times), but doesnt have the finishing and creativity yet. Hes more of a midfield engine, with pace and aggressive tackling, hes eager to get forward but only scores and assists now and then.

If we want more goals out of the central midfield, hes unlikely to provide that. But if we are looking for just aggressive defensive cover thats what his specialty is. But that link sounds really made up and is basically "He wants to go to England, and here are two English teams that exist".

Love a good trackler

That looks like transfermarkt garbo

I also have the same rule for anyone that’s has Morgan, Williams , Sandro and Yannick in their name
