@ScoutTom_ The difference between us and the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford is that they have quick attacking wingers on both sides.. we are reliant on N'Diaye only and have had the likes of slow McNeil on the wing or Rohl (CM).. even Grealish is not quick although good technically.
@thomas368749624@MeDoyle88 That's an option yeah..not sure Moyes will agree. Sounds too adventurous and not defensive enough. May be a good option against weaker teams. But if we are playing a top team with physical midfielders I think we'd want someone more physical in there.
@Benjwinst@ajhume But if Everton are signing Grealish then Moyes will not be able to promise George first team football will he? Whether or not the fans would give it.. would he prefer someone else where he would be guaranteed 1st team football.
@chrisprodromou Everton held the league title from 1915 to 1920 ( 5 seasons ) then again in 1939 to 1947. ( 8 seasons )
No other English side has held the English title for a longer period ๐
@mickmcSNB Should add if that then allowed the profit of 30/40 mill to be added to our transfer kitty to sort out the weaknesses in our squad which need sorting.
@mickmcSNB I'd consider anything upwards of 40 mill only IF we had a younger decent keeper lined up for say 10 million.. I'm not convinced he'll age as well as other keepers. Big keepers can still command their box at 40. JP's strengths e.g. reflexes/ agility will decline more with age.
@Benjwinst@danholling@Smigggss Exactly. We need to move away from crocks. Better off having someone not as good who will actually be available to play.. and less wages.
@TheDanMox Errrrr for financial reasons to save money?! ๐ค๐คฏ Maybe we want him but aren't sure he's actually worth 25 million based on last season. Save money and use saving towards another signing. There is a risk that we fail to secure the signing though by looking to reduce the fee.
@ALANMYERSMEDIA@yopeekay He was absolutely class at that time when he played against us and got Villareal to the CL semis and in the Copa America final.
@Benjwinst Agree. Need a quick winger too. We are far too reliant on N'Diaye and Dibling isn't ready apparently. Whether the quick winger is George or someone else we really do need one.
@Benjwinst@Paddy_Boyland@TheAthleticFC Very good player. But I reckon he stands out alot in our team as we have a complete lack of pace on the wings and no similar quick tricky wingers.. if we did have then he wouldn't stand out as much.
๐จ๐ฃ๏ธ Florentino Perez: "On Tuesday we will make an offer of more than 150 million euros for a player who plays in the Champions League. It will be the most expensive signing in the history of Real Madrid."
"The signing isn't Olise, nor Haaland. It will be another who plays from midfield upwards."
