Confirmed Signing Jake O'Brien

[PhilRegan]

Setting another swoop up for villa

 

[blueblue]

Watch him. He makes glaciers look fast.

I have watched him for Ireland, I don't think he is slow.
Long strides, covers ground quickly

 

[Eggs]

Sounds abit of a plodder but will suit us with a sean dyche low block. Knows how to defend supposedly. Up the yard dog blues

….really? Looks like he has a bit of pace to me. Obviously no Branthwaite but looks a similar size, shape etc (tall & slim). Could also be a threat in the opposition box.

 

[SchwartzEFC]

Not a leftie, mate. Doubt this is anything to do with Branners.

Branners @chicoazul

 

[DanEFC92]

good price if true.

Quite a lot for a third choice innit?

Unless...

 

[maccavennie]

Looks an absolute unit

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Sounds like another signing who fits the right profile and price
Making steps in the right direction this window with the one major outgoing and three in

Looks exactly like a right footed Branthwaite doesn't he.

…..it’s up to him to be first choice & we don’t know what’s happening to Branthwaite this window.

 

[Vintage]

Branthwaite off to where though? I can't see United even bidding 60m never mind the 70 we want

Dunno mate just not used to Everton doing quick out of the blue transfers

 

[bluestevon]

Wonder why efforts were accelerated in last few hours. Sounds ominous about something. Branthwaithe off and want to get this deal done before clubs know we have money to spend? My tinfoil hat is on

Could be several things, Lyon dropped their asking price, Lyon found a replacement so gave the deal the go ahead, we decided to prioritise getting a CB deal done instead of a protracted negotiation with Leeds over Gnoto deleting other business.

Etc.

Not really mate, £15m is nothing these days, we paid three times that for Chermiti and Beto knowing dom was first choice

 

[ToffeeScot]

A right dour bunch in here, there has been nothing to suggest this is anything but us signing a new CB because we need one regardless of Tarkowski being injured and Branthwaite interest.

I was just going off a palace lad in work I asked tbf. Could be talking complete wham.

Supposedly scored really important goals for Lyon last year
