Confirmed Signing Jake O'Brien

….i honestly can’t see O’Brien playing RB at 6ft 5in.

No. Suppose not.

He'd be the ideal ambassador for Ireland and a very persuasive advocate for Everton.

There was once a time when good talent from Ireland would hardly look any further than this club for a chance to become an established top flight professional.

….times change, Dave. I’m sure we both remember the influence Scottish footballers also had.

That Danjuma thing has given me ptsd as I still think this lad wont sign.

This is basically, agreed , done and dusted. Has made excellent progress over last number of years in particular the last 2. Done by Monday.

Yep, look at the 85 side, a mix of UK players and a Belgian fella that grew up in London.

It's done either tomorrow or Monday

You do his medical lad?

Yep, look at the 85 side, a mix of UK players and a Belgian fella that grew up in London.

….and the RS team at that time had, Hanson, Souness, Doglead and maybe a few more.

Not sure why people are so concerned about a perceived lack of pace. Dyche had Ben Mee and Tarks as his centre back pairing at Burnley and they had one of the best defences in the league. Dyche knows centre backs and knows how to set a team up to be defensively sound.

….i don’t think this lad is slow.

No but he will have no issues. Will pass and sign. Hint I'm Irish.

Me neither.

My memory is bad, who would you say was the first real stand out "foren" Everton player?

For some reason this is the first signing I’m actually excited about! Could be a real talent here.. hopeful on the others if course.. let’s get it done.
