Confirmed Signing Moise Kean

[Grinch]

@Grinch

Here's a gist of the interview w/his dad (the bits that concern us)

Completely trusts Raiola, like a second dad.

Believes money made Balotelli a new person and says Kean knows not to go that way.

Says he trusts Kean's decision to come to Everton and that he can 'explode' in English football. Will make Italy, Ivory Coast and family proud.

He previously blocked a move to Man U when he was much younger but believes we're the perfect club.

Well the last bit is all I needed, "But believes we're the perfect club." I just hope we don't bombard the poor kid and give him a chance. One of the most exciting players Ive seen the toffees sign in quiet some time (yes I know Rico but still.) Very good time to be a blue.

Pinch of salt on all that, him and his dad aren't close.

99.9% done. According to Raiola.

Still scarred from big Leroy

Sounds like something you’d say on release from “the pen”....

Is this deal close then....?

Is it not the case, we've been linked since whenever page 1 on here of the Mouse Kean thread opened unless of course we weren't and was a shot in the dark.

Yeah, but arsenal were linked with pepe before the window even opened I think.

Well, at least that 0,1% can't be the work permit this time.

Things have definitely changed for the better recently.

Even though we overpaid for Sig he’s top quality. Buying players from Barcelona. Having a Brazilian international striker. Signing one of the top young strikers in Europe from juventus. I’m not saying we’re competing at the very top of the league but it’s still exciting.

Having a young talented manager, a top notch director of football and an owner who is happy to support the club is great. Add in all the plans for the new stadium and it’s all looking very rosy!

I agree entirely mate.
Don't understand why there is so much negativity on here.

The last time Raiola said 99.9% didn't we get screwed?

From this forum I gather he’s also silva’s agent so not likely to pull the rug. I hadn’t realised how big a role agents seem to now play in player moves.

Ok whatever
