I remember when he signed, reading people acting like it was a good idea was similar to reading people justifying the Bolasie signing the year before. If you just looked at his goal total from the previous two seasons without digging any further, I guess you could be optimistic, but it was shocking that anybody who'd ever seen him play for Ajax could come away thinking he had any chance of success in the Premier League (kind of how I felt about Funes Mori, having seen him play about 20 times before he signed). Just an absolutely unimpressive player. One paced, not particularly strong, big, quick, technically gifted, nor creative. Always looked like a slightly taller Tom Cleverley to me, except that they paid a "we expect you to be a regular starter"-level transfer fee for him.
Got £16 or £16.5 Mills back, it's good company with the Iwobi deal. Everton fc plc have been hammered far far worse in other cases besides these.
I see your Gbamin and raise you a Nyarko
It was a really strange deal in a window full of strange and ultimately underwhelming signings.
I remember seeing Klassen for the first time and thinking that he looked like a boy in a man’s game, totally lacking any strength and speed
The thing was that the Cottee buy was an "all or nothing " bet by Colin Harvey. There was no major money left in the kitty.
Gravy train of charging parents of slightly above average child footballers that can’t even make the bloated academies these days, on a dream of becoming footballers.
