2017/18 Michael Keane

[Axlswhk]

To be fair, hopefully Brands does a job because you can get good defenders for reasonable prices. But it's all about what you want, and the partnership.

Compose no nonsense defender, build like an ox, defender bounces off him, ball playing/dribbling center back. Not short of pace. Only complain is plays too much long balls.

Good shout

That Sanchez bloke Spurs pinched from Ajax was one I always liked.

Should've been the only Ajax player bought that summer

Hard to realise how big a clear out of players we need.

I said we should have gone for him last season..Also Koulibaly 6months before we bid.

Again, 1.5 years ago I said we should have gone for him...koeman was in for him apparently 2 years ago

..we need defenders who can defend. We need defenders with athleticism and power to defend. We need defenders who can recover when forwards attack them. If they can ping a ball around it’s a plus.

It really is vital we have power and athleticism back there. Much more important than showboaters.

Disagree mate...we need the attributes you listed but also someone who can pass the ball well.

To play Silvas style the centre backs need to be able to pass the ball.

I'd try for De ligt, upamecano or Diop if we cant get the 1st two..at least hes a monster.

De Ligt is apparently subject to, like, 50m+ bid from City.

If we had any sense we would've nabbed Robertson and Maguire when Hull went down IMO.

That cant be right?

How did Man City find out about Zats secret player?

 

[Papa Shango]

Under Silva we need defenders who can ping the ball around...needs to go.

Needs to go regardless. He has been an absolute abomination of a signing.

Replace him with Nordi Mukiele.

 

[St. Domingo]

All very well saying get rid, who's gonna pay the 25m we paid? No one is the answer, plus he's on good money. It's just not realistic to say get rid of half the squad when many of them have only been here for a year. Keane isn't going anywhere unless he himself wants out

DAYYYYYYYYYY OTTTTTTTTTTTT

[mightymoyes]

Have we sold him to bury for 100k yet?

He's only 19 ffs. And they weren't hoofs either. They were genuine long passes finding their man. Wonder how much he'd go for.

RBL have a really young team don't they? Wished we'd show a bit of interest in their outgoing coach.

Well we’ve got a track record of looking after players and despite welcoming the new Everton hope we continue to do this. So if the rumours are true we’ll look after him and may be next season or after he’ll be OK

For near 30m we needed him to hit the ground running
