Hahaha.
He's signed for Everton.
Let's just recount the young players we have signed that turned out to be Premier League level...
I'm not against the lad himself, I'm against Everton's track record.
Well, yes lets recount them.

Lookman, sold for a profit, Kean, sold for a profit, Vlasic, sold for a profit, DCL, went on to become our number 9, John Stones, sold for a profit, Branners, cant imagine a world in which is isnt sold for a profit.

Who did you have in mind?

I get it tho, Everton doesnt normally do good things.
 

Nothing against the lad but should never have been bought.
Tom Cannon as a sub and Coady for 4m would have been a much more logical choice.
If DCL gets fit we then have a young 3rd choice striker getting no game time and Keane as our first CB sub.
we were ass at scoring goals, we need competition up front. yeah we could've used the money for the back, but honestly we just need money in general, that's the biggest problem

i agree losing coady sucks considering our depth and how good he was at reducing GA, but our biggest problem last season was scoring - we were 19th in GS

Oh I'm OK with the making profit thing but didn't see that as an option due to having such a thin squad.
Would be lovely to go back to the first days of Moshiri and have him buy this sort of player along with a bunch of 23-26 year olds on moderate wages and not struggle on or off the field.
 
We sold two of our youth strikers that people at the club deemed not suitable to play the number nine position for Everton for deals that could total c£15m.

We then used those funds to purchase one player on a deal worth up to c£15m that the recruitment team feel does meet the requirements for an Everton number nine.

Seems fairly logical to me.
The logic is in the finance sense , rather than the football sense. The , let’s say £13mill , money for Cannon/Simms goes into the books this financial year . Like Beto , we won’t be paying anything for Chermiti this Financial year. It shows how desperate we are, as it all sounds like some buynow- pay later with money we don’t yet have Ponzi scheme . Scary really. Let’s hope he shows his potential this season , and becomes another asset both on the pitch and in the finance books.
 
Too early to rush to judgement, but I'm writing it now, with a view to a Christmas no. 1 if he doesn't progress:

Oh Chermitti you're so pretty I don't comprehend
Why we get our hopes up, when we'll boo you in the end.
Oh Chermitti what a pity you're a bit poo
We took the Simms and Cannon cash and spunked it on you
 

Chermiti is stll a young prospect. He has great physical qualities but he needs to evolve in a number of aspects.
 
And what happens when Cannon turns out to be tosh and Coady remembers he's a kopite?

But crikey, lot of hate floating around for the boy after 1 game.
Some bizarre takes

Looked good against Wolves, then had a bad half of football in a horrid team performance and suddenly he's a waste of money

Fickle bunch
