Transfer Rumour Adam Aznou

[ToffeeScot]

My only concern with this player is that HE’S NOT A RIGHT BACK WHAT ARE YOU DOING EVERTON WE ALREADY HAVE A LEFT BACK WE NEED A RIGHT BACK WAKE THE F UP YOU DOPEY KÜNĎ5.

We have two right backs and one player who can be used at RB if needed like last season.

I'd be staggered if moyes played a 19 yr old with limited experience ahead of him many times

Depends if the 19 year old is capable of putting a ball in or crossing the halfway line without getting a nosebleed.

It will be interesting though given Baines is part of the coaching staff. Will show if he is trusted by Moyes to offer his expertise.

We do not, in any meaningful sense of the term, have two right backs.

Even if he was moyes will rarely play him, if he signs of course

We already tried to sign a RB, I imagine that will happen again, but currently we have more options to play at RB than we do at LB.

Finally on the eve of a new signing.

I saw what you did there.

Charlie Adam.

I meant had we had an Adam with a full set of teeth

We'll see. He played Rice, Januzaj, Baxter, Rooney etc. He's not Dyche levels of bad with youth

We’ve been trying for years, and only managed geriatric stop gaps or people not up to the job. Myko played 35 league games last season. We could do with a left back, we’re desperate for a right back.

Sounds like a magician

The Great Aznou...

Like most of our squad, they just disappear.

He will fit in well

If we can get this done we have a really good LB room. Mykolenko has more solid games than not. He is not Cafu but he offered more under Moyes. Aznou has a terrific pedigree, is young and is a naturally more attacking option. Not done yet but it is the right type of signing to try to seal. The mooted €9-11m price is an affordable risk with huge upside if he can live up to his potential.

I like this a LOT.

These were the vibes at youth level:

And at senior levels he was putting up elite dribbling numbers and extremely good defensive numbers on the worst team in La Liga at age 19:

That's a lot of good looks for £8m in a position where exactly that profile is great: someone who isn't needed to come in and immediately perform, but where we want to upgrade over the next season or so.

Edit: wow Valladolid were REALLY bad. 16 points and a -64 goal difference lol. Making yourself look good in any way at all on a team like that is some achievement (see also: Dibling)
