Is he any good? Haven't seen him play to be honest!

He can score a cracking header! That’s enough for me. Cahill took over Ferguson’s mantle nicely but since he’s left we’ve been starved of boss headers.

I like your style.

Not at all, absolutely made up if he signs.

Im just like SAF mate, soon as one target is accomplished im already looking towards the next.

Funes Mori was decent at headers

Imagine a RFM and Mina partnership

Pace, headers and missed tackles all over the shop

I don't believe everything the press say as the truth because the majority of the time they talk bollox. There can be some truth in some things and that is what we have to dissect. The man Utd rumour could be an untruth the Everton rumour could be an untruth the Lyon rumour could be an untruth yet a couple of them could be the truth but maybe not. Maybe only Wigan might be interested we just don't know. Maybe Dign is talking bollox asking him to comr to Everton and maybe we have fined Dign for not telling the truth. Who knows? Looks like the whole lot is fabrication or is it? Where do we start?

Well its on us to determine what is the truth and what isnt.

In my humble opinion United only ever had a fleeting interest and if United REALLY wanted him, they would have signed him.

But here we are assuming that the deal is done due to a press report, whilst im saying you cant trust the press.

So forgive me, I always type in absolutes, im very aware that im wrong vastly more times than im right, but I personally consider the press reports linking him to United were nothing more than a smokescreen.

Cue Liverpool fans putting up comparisons of mina costing 2/3 of VVD despite being less than 1/10 the player.....

And they wouldn't be far wrong, would they.

Yes they’d be very wrong, as it isn’t even close to 2/3rds the cost of VVD.

I told you it’s the Everton transfer cycle. There is no room for any credit giving.

Without doubt. Scoring from set plays is one area I feel we have been poor at for the last few seasons.

Talking about this the other day. We used to be lethal from set pieces.

It's one of those things where the better you get at them the more success you get from them as the team know you're good at them. So they panic when they concede and are more likely to make mistakes. I feel there is a massive element of psychology when it comes to conceding corners or free kicks in dangerous positions.

Mina isn't quick when it comes to short bursts (not good for reacting to loose ricochets), when it comes to running back over a longer distance he can pick up some speed (useful for high-line defending).
