Wish the lad all the luck in the world in a blue shirt but can't help feel massively underwhelmed.

Patience mate.

Just because signing number 1 isn't a huge name or fee doesn't mean that big guns won't follow.

Someone's gotta be first.

@GrandOldTeam @Groucho @roydo Can we have our first transfer confirmed tag now?

Massive overload of defensive midfielders now.

Massive offload of defensive midfielders now due.

A signing is a signing - and if he's good enough for Koeman and Walsh then he's good enough for me. Welcome Idrissa

Agree fully. Not every successful signing is accompanied by huge frenzy and huge fees. Of course the media like to see the circus of massive transfers, but it is more about getting the right player for the teams' need rather than flavour of the month signings.
If he can perform anything like Kante whom he was initially comparable with, we will not have gone too far wrong.
Plus this is a signing made by Koeman/Walsh who we must put 100% faith in. They did not do too badly at their last clubs in their recruitment.

Exactly. The transfer amount paid is not the measure of a signing. The fact is we can never really judge how successful a signing is until they have put on the shirt and kicked the ball a few hundred times, (or in the case of some - cough.. Oumar cough.. Niasse cough...choke.. kick the ball a couple of dozen times - if that!).

He'll have to earn that respect!

Am a visiting villan. You've signed a wholehearted 90 minute performer who reads the game well and will make key interceptions. But will need babysitting- he's always liable to immediately give the ball away, usually as you're about to spring forward. Hopefully for you in a better side, that side of his game will come on. Beware of stats... Our whole signing strategy was based on stats. Look where it got us! Always had a soft spot for you guys. goodison always a favourite. Hopefully returning soon.

Good luck to the lad. Hope he does well.

 

[John Osters Love Child]

i don't get the few who are complaining about this signing (the the William's link too). We need 5-6 new signings and they can't all be £30 million players and he's a good player. Hopefully the first of many.

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Wish him luck, hope he does well because it's only us that benefit if hes decent or suffer if he's cak

People where saying once one signs the rest will follow, so brase yourselves coz the flood gates have just been opened

Hopefully not, but thanks for the player summary nonetheless.

Did any of the ITKs break this before the papers linked him
