He's a disastrous signing.

I'm no admirer of Moyes, to say the least, but that lad is not even on Moyes' radar if he's buying.

....Kean is a disappointment for me but he’s cheaper than Tosun. Both are very ordinary but Tosun is as good as he’ll ever be, Kean at least has a chance. Bolasie and Klaassen both more expensive, I suspect we could at least recover our outlay on Kean.

Disappointing but not disastrous.

Rooney was smashing maccies, banging grannies and telling Moyes to F off in training and he turned out alright

Maybe this is what DCL, Tosun and Kean need to do then !!!

Is he? afaik Tosun one was 27M€ and whereas Kean was bought for 30M€
I could be wrong

Well Marco's system makes it like "the least worst should play" decision. Anyway, we will never know their true potential unless the new guy takes the job and only then we can judge them in a healthy way

...the continued poor performance of our strikers is down to our strikers, not Silva. I’m not a fan of a Silva but folk shouldn’t look for excuses when forwards continually fail to deliver. It’s not down to systems, it’s not down to age, it’s not down to putting crosses in the box, it’s not down to anything but themselves.

I’d only agree with this if our strikers were missing lots of chances but they’re not.

I agree somewhat as the surveys say...maybe just not this manager.
As I've said before...I'd hate to get the sack because the guy passing me the tools didn't know his flathead from his phillips

Tools is the right description too.

 

[davek]

he was late, he's a kid, he needs to swerve it and get his head down but calling him a wrongun for being late is over the top

11 goals in 3 years? your making out he's played 3 full seasons, he's 19 lad he's got almost a 1 in 3 record

he's been managed appallingly so far

Not good enough, not disciplined enough, not an Everton player.

"Lad of 19". FFS, he's a man. Another free pass to a man-child.

 

[GwladysPhil]

Exactly. Being late to a couple of meetings doesn't make him Saidho Berahinho.

I sometimes wish transfer fees were kept secret. He's a young guy in a foreign country and he's got to shoulder that £25m transfer fee which brings with it a load of expectations.

In an ideal world he'd disappear into the squad to get up to speed with the game here and his fellow teammates and be rolled out for league cup appearances or 10 minutes at the end of games towards the latter part of the season. Instead he gets the microscope treatment.

Even Henry took time to adjust to English football. This kid has way less top level experience than he did when he arrived in Arsenal.

No he didn't. He scored 26 goals in his first season.

Tosun gets the odd goal, that in and of itself elevates him above a fake like this lad.

...yes, creating chances is a problem we’ve had for a while, but when they come along you never feel confident in conversion. Saying that, a lack of chances doesn’t stop strikers putting in a performance. Richarlison against West Ham was on a different level to any of our conventional strikers. Running the channels, making himself available, going to war with the opposition CBs.

Funnily enough the Italians did.

It's obviously way too early to be saying he's a disastrous signing, but if we're being honest I think everybody would agree he's been disappointing so far. He was meant to be a hugely exciting signing, one of the best young players in Europe, I don't believe that anybody really thought he would have contributed virtually nothing going into December.

That's not to say it's all his fault, or that he won't turn out to be one of the best signings we've ever made, I just can't really get mad at someone saying a £30m attacker not having scored or assisted (other than a deflection) 15 games into the season is disappointing. It definitely is.
