Joshua Zirkzee

[Darth Toffeeman]

..I thought he only flew in for talks yesterday and now it seems he's not only playing a game for us but is in Prague. Amazing if we have sorted this so quickly.

Onyekuru posted himself infront of the badge signing the contract days before the club did.
The deal was possibly already done before he flew in yesterday.
Walsh and his team are very cloak and dagger. Nicking players from under the nose of PSG and Arsenal. Splendid.

talks could have been just a formality, signing the contract etc.

Or maybe this is a 'trial' game for both us and the player, it's likely that he's signed though.

 

[allen]

he's playing for us right now for the under 19's in a tournament.

Just trying to one-up Cuco Martina being pictured with the squad before he's announced.

The only way to beat it is to actually be playing for Everton before you're announced.

 

[Eggs]

That's really well spotted. So strange to come over, play a game without being announced.

Perhaps its a trial?

...surely he wouldn't have a trial with the quality of clubs chasing him. He can pick where he wants to go.

 

[PITA]

That stuff is banned I think.

Probably not in Holland.

i think the likelihood is he's signed, like you say he was in high demand, our academy / youth set up is lucrative both for wages, and for saying look, we play young players in the first team.

Probably just thrown him in today to help him get used to his new team mates quickly, wouldnt expect anything special from him today especially when he's probably never even trained with these lads before, they don't know his assets, they don't know his.

Just easing him into it.

If he's signed, Welcome Joshua!

Yesterday morning the media said this lad was going to Arsenal, but Ajax and PSV still wanted him

Today I'm watching him play for Everton

18 months ago we were horrible at getting transfers over teh line

These days we've become transfer ninjas

Up the crafty toffees

More of this shid please

 

[KevMirallas]

I don't know why I am watching this game.

 

[Simon baker]

Hope we go out & sign George hirst too never even seen him play however players are like houses 20 years ago
At the minute easy profit. Chelsea set the bar with this, plus the lad is meant to be class no brainer if we can get him.

 

[marnie]

The stadium looks like somewhere Hitler used to hold rallies.FFS

 

[toffeeblue9]

Number 6 in this game, Anthony Gordon, playing centre mid has been the pick of the bunch so far

Strange theres been no announcement...only thing Is he landed at the airport and suddenly playing for us...

Leicester have just had a 1mil offer rejected

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He looks spectacularly raw which is okay by me. He is only 16. It would be nice to have another Rom rising through the ranks

 

[Duncan Disordely]

Looking at his d.o.b on the teamsheet he's only turned 16 in May as well.

 

[Zatara]

View attachment 38994 him and his team mate.....

Its bizarre to see the size difference between these two.

Concern is that Zirkzee is massive and is getting an unfair advantage or the dwarf is amazingly talented to get in that side.

Was when the goal went In and that hobbit appeared...
