2020/21 Jean-Philippe Gbamin

[Pat Butcher]

He's massive

He's massive

Could be an NFL player, or a sumo maybe, not often you get size/strength and pace like that in one package

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Was he this big when we signed him or is this a byproduct of 2 years of upper body strength work due to leg injuries?

 

[KindofBlue]

please stay fit. I like him

 

[HokieToffee]

Please stay healthy. Please stay healthy. Please stay healthy.

I don't think it's a stretch to say he'll be a first XI player if he stays fit. He looks to bring things to the team both with and without the ball and crucially he's not afraid of having it and moving it up field when pressured.

I have to be honest. I really didn't expect him to play for us again in a competitive match.
I am.still holding my breath when I see him play but the signs so far this pre season are very encouraging.
I will never be more pleased to be proved wrong if he does well in PL games for us.

I honestly thought he was an athletic defensive midfielder and nothing else but he looks much more than that. Always looks to move forward with the ball from midfield and look for an outlet with a progressive forward pass.

Big heart in mouth moment where he got fouled and landed heavily straight on his left knee from height. Thankfully, bounced straight back up , no problem.

In very rare/unique circumstances like Dean Ashton I believe. I think if a player in injured for the international sides they could claim something as well.

We won't have claimed anything from Delph/Gbamin and will more than likely been hit with FFP restrictions as an extra kick in the teeth.

Has anyone told you that football is a contact sport and injuries happen? It's our fault we signed Delph he had history, Gbamin got injured in training, it happens. Obviously not in the real world where you live mind, just us fantasists. I spoke to average Joe as well, he said he wasn't expecting to be injured at work, if he is, he's a daft tit.

I noticed one energy sapping run late in the second half, scintillating pace with the ball, thought he played okay, seems to get around the pitch a lot and pretty good on the ball. Looks an absolute unit though.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

I never watched the game, but glad to hear he played well.

 

[Michaelcoyb]

He never got injured in a game so I’ve not got the same fears as you lot and definitely doesn’t look weak or made of glass on the field.

Its the moments we don’t see that worry me. Bloke has the worst luck on the training pitch.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Lot of encouraging stuff in the last couple of games. Just need to look after him and try and keep him fit. If he can stay injury free for the next 2-3 months, I expect him to become a first 11 player.

 

[Carloblues]

Was good yesterday, didn't know he was that type of midfielder tbh, thought he just sat back as an anchor but he's strong fast and powerful on the ball and likes to venture forward

 

[Bluebonic]

Its going to seem very odd having him and Dacoure in the side? Everton with height in the midfield, what is the world coming to?
