Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


Nothing he has shown playing for Everton suggests that Jake O'Brien is a better option as a centre back than Keane. He has looked just as raw as Barry does and I doubt he'd be a starting centre back for any team in the league.

We need to stop thinking he would do well as centre back because he does better as a full back than we expected.

When it comes to pure defending as full backs, Mykolenko is a lot better than O'Brian. That doesn't make Mykolenko a good centre back option.
Umm how many errors leading to goals did Jake have compared to Keane last season which Jake had zero and Keane had two also if you just use your eyes Jake is the superior defender as he is much more composed and positionly aware.

Playing well at right back and playing well at centre back are completely different. Jake has barely played for us at centre back and when he has done he hasn't looked that convincing to me. You are just making a massive assumption. Myko is a better player than Keane but I don't think he would be a better centre back than Keane. Playing centre back is a specialist position.
 

"We will go with what we've got" - oh dear, usually the line Moyes uses when he is not that hopeful. Doesn't sound like he believes the targets we have are doable by the deadline.
