Signing a 38 year old as cover for a 34 year old is peak peak Everton

It doesn't strengthen us it's literally just a bloke in the squad

Please stop saying Ashley Young

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Unfortunately it appears it really is that obvious

I'm still assuming this guy is on the wind up, but if this is true, this has Dyche's MO all over it. Ancient British player, rather than scouting for any quality. If we had a different manager I would 100% dismiss it out of hand, but it is tapping into my fears.

Please God don't be true.

Honestly the way things are going the only one on the wage bill will be Elsie out of the canteen

Right back is the strongest of the two full back positions too so it makes no sense in that respect either oh well

He's played loads at left back too, it's just that right back is where they needed him last season. His position map from 21/22 is pretty ridiculous, he can basically go anywhere:

I guess a utility player then as AMN was mooted to be , terrifying really. Look he used to be a very good player but that was over a decade ago, it's the shortest of stop gaps isn't it. We are on the bones of our arse aren't we.

TBH while I'm not in favour of either really if we do want a free utility player to bulk the squad I'd probably rather it be Young than AMN. AMN would presumably want a longer contract and we'd just be lumbered with another bang average player for years.

Linked with will young now.. give up me

Tad unfair if you ask me. I’d wager if you were to survey all 25 year old footballers born outside England if they fancied Sporting, European nights, and living in Lisbon over playing for a current state Everton or Forest, 70% if not more are going to choose Sporting.

I'd wager you were completely wrong.
Proving yourself at the highest level is the most important thing to 99% of any player.

Why don't they just chose Rangers or Celtic if European competitions are the top of a players ambitions..

( And if you prove yourself at Everton or Forest then it won't be long before a big 6 team signs you and you're playing those competitions !!! )

I'd probs take young at LB over Myko but that doesn't say much

 

[Lapeno77]

It's going to be another lonnng season

If we're lucky

 

[windymiller]

Why not? He played there for us already and he's been playing successfully there for England U21s too.

He's an adaptable player. You cant just put him in the CM category. Football isn't as clear cut as that.

I can. I did.

Honestly feel like there's been a fire sale like Islington leathers, if anyone can remember my age lol
