Good commonsense signing and keeps together what has been a really good defensive core of players that is in the top 5 as a defensive unit in the Premier league. While not a glamorous signing, one that will free up more money for transfer fees...

People getting too hung up on the 4th choice CB idea. At this moment in time he is 2nd choice striker. Let that sink in.

Played with the right partner Keane can be effective but at Everton he has to be fourth choice. I am definitely not advocating Dawson😁

If we are looking at fourth choice center half's its going to be a Dawson or a Keane or even a championship center half. We have to have them in the squad we don't really want to use them but anyone who is capable of being second or third choice...

I can't agree more once you have a solidly defensive core its easier to get results and be more expansive up front. Last 4 years its our defence that kept us up and the leaky defences with the managers who had a philosophy that went down.

I dunno. I'm old-school. Give me defensively-sound defenders any day. Get better attackers for the attacking. I get your point, though. But if a new full back is good going forward, he really has to be able to do the defensive basics too.

Not saying I agree with the prem But the 6 weeks or whatever it has been would give teams the chance to sell to comply with PSR I’m guessing Thing is … they’re selling under duress in a way and teams like city , RS etc or the ones in the world...

I didn't know that was the cost and if we decide to sell today I think we might get all our money back maybe more. So not a bad signing in the scheme of things.

I think at the start of the season he felt the demand for his services were more in demand so he could expect a bigger pay day either at Everton or somewhere else! But as the season has moved on the landscape has changed and between Beto and a...

Thought that was a really nice statement he put out. Going to miss him a lot. Hope he does well whenever he ends up at.

Like it hasn't happened before ! Too much dithering on our part ? In fairness , the club has been a total state this last few years, DCL leaving on a free is the least of it.

If he signs, it's the best signing of the summer. By some distance.

Doesn’t he need to wait until 1 July ?

Player of the season in 24/25 so a 2 year contract on the back of that is not a huge stretch. What if he is player of the season for the next 2 years then its a absolute bargain, still nothing like the money we have wasted in the past.

Based on very little like youtube and his stats i think this young man may be a success. He seems to step up a league every year from lower leagues at Sochaux Beveren Basel and Villareal, which to me suggest a fast learning curve and some of the...
