Bryan you would be perfect working for MasterCard, your type of customer service would be massively underrated

You are welcome - is there anything else I can pretend to help with?

But in all seriousness, we need to have learned our lesson from the Klaassen and Sandro debacle and make sure we ease the lad in. Regardless of price tag, we're playing so poorly going forward at the moment that one player isn't going to change it. Would rather see him get a few sub appearances first.

While I agree, unfortunately I believe the clamour for an improvement and the number of games in DCL's legs will quickly force him into the XI.

Hopefully Sam has the tenacity to withstand any such pressures, but after his thinly veiled criticisms of our forward line I'm not so sure he will.

It will not help him however being instantly expected to lead the line on his own, without much assistance while all along scoring goals.

He is a hard worker just hoping he has something about him he looks like he will need service, I'd bring him off the bench initially it's easier to bed in that way.

It's the most official besiktas news website and if something is published in this website with special news mark on it it's %100 true.

So it's not 27m pounds, its 27m euros with all the bonuses IN it. So the prize is possibly like 25m euros and some weird bonuses. Well Done.

I have no doubt he'll be in quickly, but there's no need for him to start vs Spurs really.

Get him starting in a home game where we should, in theory, have more of the ball and get at the opposition a bit more.

Yes, but regarding Bakayoko I was referring to actual debuts - his first ever game for Everton back in October 1998
