He just plays the soccer with an impish mind. The ball drops and he’s nicked it between your dog of a midfielder’s legs before he’s even had time to swipe. He’s always on the move, a natural hustler. Plays with a great amount of finesses although you can’t deny he’s a product of the streets in his tenacity. He’s a smaller but more effective Ross Barkley, with a brain.

His time served against gnarly defenders in the Championship serves him well and he lit up that league, with impressive goals and assists throughout. If he was coming through Everton’s youth you’d be raving about him, him ending up at Everton is very welcome and he will bring the energy and creativity that we lack in the final third. He’s a baller with a touch of Hollywood and one that will not require an adaptation period to the league or country like many of the others we will be linked with. He’s 22 years of age too so only gonna get better.

Thelwell has used his contacts and previous to make this his first statement signing and it’s a very good indicator indeed about the type of football and characters he wants Everton to play.

I’m typing this so I can vault myself in about 9 months when he’s not settled at all and Everton stare relegation in the face for splurging their money on players like him. You’ve been warned.

I like his inate ability to create space and make the game look effortless. That's not to say he's lazy, his workrate holds up against any young dynamic midfielder, but his ability to find space is what separates him from the rest.

I've never seen Ross's, but I doubt he is smaller, judging by the quality of his lady friend...
 


I thought I would post my thoughts as a Wolves fan. MGW has come through the Wolves academy, and has always been talked about as being a hot prospect. He has had a few games with the first team, and did ok, but never stood out particularly. I was surprised when he was let out on loan to Sheffield, as he had figured in pre season, and we were not exactly stacked in midfield. But in retrospect, it was the right move.

He was quick to catch the eye of Sheffield fans, he had obvious talent, but they also found him frustrating, full of flicks and tricks, but not composed enough in his play, often giving away possession. (which is basically what i saw at Wolves) But eventually he grew up, he still had the tricks, but now was more aware of how and more importantly when to use them, and really started to show the Sheffield fans what he was all about. and quickly became a fans favourite.

As for where things stand now, I would be highly surprised if he was allowed to leave, Despite what some fans have said, Wolves are not in a financial hole, and the Collins deal will have no impact on our ability to keep MGW. He is exactly the sort of player we would be looking to sign, a young exciting talent, with great resale value. and 20 million would be around the money we would spend in bringing them in, So I don't see any reason Wolves would not at least give him a go this season.

The sticking point is his contract. Wolves may be in good shape financially, But Fosun (our owners) are an investment company, and will probably way up the financial loss of letting his contract run down. Would he be a good signing? absolutely, and if Everton are going to get him, this is your best chance.

But I have a feeling the contract issues will be sorted, and he will be playing for Wolves this season. That is certainly what I am hoping for.
