feedback I got today is...

highly thought of...
good lad..
lots of ability...
but a "5" not a 9 nor a 10
not made any real headway in first team
easily expendable
offer very good
no one's head on block for selling him early
no cry out from fans
win - win this deal if it comes off

Palacios - season tickets holders know more than me, I just watch highlights
I will get the lowdown tomorrow and pass it on

Oh...

I always thought a number 5 was a central defender.

Second time Everton made me cry, first time was in the back of the car on the way home from Wembley in 1968 as an eight year old!

...yep, I went in ‘68 as an 11 year old but for some reason, the Tommy Booth semi-Final was worst.

 

[Wilfy]

Nice long range passer, busy player tracks back and can tackle, has the flair from what I've seen not sure sure what his eye for goal is like. 8 u20 caps so he'll pick up a few more in this competition, will that get him a permit?

As we all know Football Manager stats are always 100% accurate 100% of the time and are definitely a better way to judge talent than using a Director of Football.

Therefore I suggest we SWERVE

One Sousa out, one Sosa in?
No net change in So(u)sas this year it seems.

Our bleak midfield will be bleak no longer.

Everton News: Toffees eye raid on River Plate for midfielder Santiago Sosa

According to claims from Argentinian newspaper Ole, Everton are interested in signing 20-year-old River Plate midfielder Santiago Sosa in the summer

Just from watching youtube + reading all the English pieces on him...

It seems like he's a Schneiderlin 'type' with a great passing range + bite in the tackle.

Sounds like a Schneiderlin type, possibly with a bit more mobility and technique.

Seems like a more skilful Gana to me from that link.

Sounds like a mirror image of Kieran Dowell with us. The big difference being Dowell is struggling to establish himself in a much higher quality league.

My personal view is, if he were good enough to come to the Premier, he would have established himself in the Argentinian league by now. No point bringing him to be part of the U23s, certainly at that price. So we would need to loan him out and yesterday I suggested PSV in the Dutch League. My preference would be to just do that with Dowell instead and save ourselves the outlay, unless we can sell Dowell to fund it of course.

I trust in Brands to make the right decision for Everton.

I always thought a number 5 was a central defender.

5 has always been a deep lying midfielder in argentina... historically numbers 2 and 3 were central defenders, 4,5,6 across the midfield then 7-11 forwards... full-backs didnt exist

 

[Lelouch]

I welcome these signings but 13m is a heavy fee for a "potential" or a "prospect" I'll believe in Brands but that's a decent amount of money for a player who'll be in the U23's or out on loan I'd assume.

 

[Mitch Ward's Minder]

Surely it's time for his own transfer thread?

Latest from Argentina is that his agent will fly over this week coming and it'll be announced after the U20 World Cup.

So what you're saying is the only thing we are losing is U ?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Brands must know something we don’t to want to pay £13m for a kid who has played 4 games. Does seem very odd though to be paying that much for a totally unproven 20 year old, you’d at least expect him to have 15+ starts.

Does the Sosa thing mean anything for noodlehead?
