I dont think it is as such, on paper its an upgrade to what we have..Idiotic signing
He looks absolutely miles off for England the other day , which is obviously a real worry.Horrible signing. He looks finished
Not a cats chance in hell we're giving a 35 years old left back 200 grand a week.Would be a terrible signing.
If this is the extent of our ambition this summer it's a awful sign.
- Absolutely huge wages at present - about 200 grand a week.
- Miles past his best on a steep decline - City desperate to offload for free despite him being under contract, and Milan not interested in taking him back.
- Massive questions over his personality - surely we don't want to bring in players that could upset a close group of players?
- Would ultimately lead to O'Brien pushed back to the bench (unless the plan really is to sell Branthwaite) as he wouldn't join us without being guaranteed a start.
- Would be no kind of long-term solution - O'Brien impressed last season and the idea must surely be to improve on him, not take a 35-year-old whose only main attribute - his speed - has long since left him.
- What motivation does Kyle Walker have to leave Manchester City and join Everton? If he joins us it's due to him not wanting to relocate.
