Holgate or a new signing presumably? Or maybe Cuco will be brought in from the cold...

Holgate isnt good enough, see he is a good example, loaned out for a year but now back, but yeah he will be Colemans back up i guess

It’s not. I sadly don’t think he’s good enough. And I’d think the same if he was multi million pound signing too.
I hope he can make it and he’s got time on his side but it is ok to say a young player isn’t good enough. They won’t all be first teamers.

Personally I think Holgate is a far superior defender than Kenny.
Kenny so far has looked solid but unexceptional.
I suspect that Holgates performances on loan have earned him a place as Coleman’s understudy this coming season with an added plus that he is also a more than competent CB , and can provide cover there also.
Not good enough for the prem, ship the beaut out

Has to be a risk it'd be a Lookman mkII. Young lad doing well in Germany, then coming back to Everton and not getting a look in. From a players perspective, getting regular game time in Bundesliga is great (for them), but for Everton? It's sadly hard to see how he fits here, especially as we don't have European games to worry about, and Coleman generally has a decent fitness record so doesn't rest that often. What good would it do him to stay here and play a handful of games?
If you look at full backs today, their primary role isn't to defend, but to attack. That's why Robinson perhaps has a chance on the other flank. Holgate isn't a full back in a month of Sundays.

Unless you know something we don't I think you're wrong here Jon joe kenny was brought up as one of us
We have slightly loftier ambitions than WBA. I don't doubt he could make a decent defensive full back, but the full back role has moved on from the Hibbert and even Gary Neville style full back and is now primarily an attacking role. You only have to look at the mob across the park, or our own Lucas Digne to see that. It's like trying to compare Lescott and Baines. I'm sure Lescott could do a job at full back in his day, but he wasn't a left back and certainly wasn't in the class of Baines.
I'm sure Holgate could 'do a job', but we've got to aim higher than having backups that could simply do a job towards people who can genuinely come in and offer a similar performance to those they're replacing.
