Mason Holgate

then moving to a club who are committed to helping them develop even further, before attracting the likes of Chelsea

Well hopefully by 4/5 yrs down the line we won't have to worry about the likes of Chelsea coming in and trying to take our best players with mega bucks offers! Shame for you guys though. I often wonder if teams like yours could keep their young prospects a couple years longer could they make enough of a nucleus to try and push on a bit, and make it a better place to stay in the first place? The eternal question I guess for some teams...

His name is an anagram of Mean Goal Shot so maybe he should play upfront.

Why are we wasting our time signing a young defender from Barnsley, he will never make the first team!

FFS Moist!

He will. He's another Stones.

 

[TyphooToffee]

When he comes to score his first Everton goal, would that be a special Holgate finish? Ting!

It will definitely produce a Holgate smile

I can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by this signing if he is cover to Jags and Stones. If Jags is injured tomorrow we are in deep [Poor language removed].

I imagine this sort of thing was said when Stones signed. I think history tells us the manager and scouting staff know more about our signings than we do. Likewise fans of Barnsley and Wolves (Lescott) who made comments in here after we signed their prized assets.

Fair enough all of 18 years old - didnt know Man Utd had him on a trial last year and it didnt pan out. Lets see how he settles and takes to the under 19/21s.

You know what i bet he will be double the player of Joe Gomez.

Based on what?

Pretty much everyone they sign turns out gash...

Fair point...

 

[sd_1992]

Fair point...

They probably have about a 10% hit rate for transfers that don't turn out to be utter garbage

Who's suggesting he's ordinary? He's a fantastic young prospect. Ordinary players don't play 20 games at 18 years old in a Mr league, and attract the attention of Newcastle,Bournemouth,Swansea,Villa, Man Utd, and Everton pal while doing so, he's a talent no doubt about it.

For some reason the system won't let me multi quote,but somebody posted it on page 2 of the thread.Just hope long term he has the talent that we and other teams have seen

Didn't you know that Gomez is already better than Stones and Bobby Moore combined? The most knowledgeable passionate fans in der world said so. It's a conspiracee by that dinosaur Hodgson that he's not first choice for England.

He's a top talent. And if he develops to his potential he'll be a premier league player for rest of his career.

is he cup tied for the match against his old team?
