2018/19 Kurt Zouma

[BlueToff]

Again, for like the 50th time, Keane is fast and has plenty of pace over distance whatever that means. Is it just that some if you don't believe Sam Dyche and his stopwatch and think the mirror just made up those sprint times?

*Sean Dyche

And no, I'm not saying Keane is incredibly slow. But, he does turn like an oil tanker, and in a high line that gets exposed. He doesn't have the same recovery pace as Zouma either.

Watch them, it doesn't take much to see that over a distance Zouma has that ability to just get in there, whereas Keane doesn't.

So if we're playing a high line then I don't think Mina and Keane will be ideal if the opposition have a fast striker.

Silva will look at who has been the better centre half as to which one plays alongside Mina. In my opinion it is Zouma. I reckon Silva had in mind a Zouma/Mina partnership and that is what it will eventually be.

[Eggs]

Love this bloke. Played excellent today!

..I thought he was terrific too. I want Rolls Royce defenders and he’ll do for me.

 

[Abraders]

Always finds his big head on the ball. Plays with urgency too and isn't afraid to drive us forward. That's what you need

 

[Mozza1987]

Really like him. Was class today

 

[Timak]

To vault or not to vault, that is the question.

 

[MACCA75]

Deffo need to buy him.

 

[evertony]

How about a song done for him to "I love rock n roll"?

We love Kurt Zouma
Playing in Blue for the Toffees baby

Not sure what the rest would be

Errrr....

 

[4737carlin]

Whats the deal to buy? is it one where its up to us if we take or not and the fee is already set, or do we have to rely on Chelsea letting him go?

[Irish nsno]

Love this bloke. Played excellent today!

Totally agree.

 

[Yarrgh]

Buy him now.

Him and Gomes.

Just wrote the same in the Gomes thread. Both these two need to be sorted out. They're here, they're settling in nicely, their performances so far show huge promise. Both look intelligent whilst playing and have the trust of the manager to go out and play using their nous. This team will soon approach the level when they can compete against anyone; if they stay, they may well be making a very good decision for themselves as well as for Everton.

I know Zouma can point to a return to Chelsea and Gomes to Barcelona, but a season or two here, will harden them into top players and if they do go, it'll be back to that sort of team, and they'll go back as first teamers, not bench warmers. A couple of seasons here though, and maybe Mr Silva can break through the glass ceiling and keep them around for longer...
