2025/26 Adam Aznou

[MikeH72]

I genuinely half believe Moyes would play Travers at left back before this lad.

 

[FCBarça]

Come January, it’ll be interesting to see who remains between the coach and player - or if both will be elsewhere

 

[CielosGrises]

He could have just vetoed their signings then, he’s admitted he had the final say on all transfers.

Why are people trying to make excuses for him in relation to transfers?

Its a fair point, he didn't have to give a Del Monte 'yes'.

The club doesn't seem great at finding and negotiating players - I wouldn't put that all on Moyes. We would be giving him superpowers if we felt he did the lot - it's not the 1970s.

Comments like he's an international and played in Germany and Spain are rather misleading when you break it down. He's played two games for Morocco against lesotho. He made two sub appearences for Bayern. And his spell in Spain on loan consisted of 8 games where the team he played for lost every game and conceded over 20 goals.

He's a young player and he's got that going for him but lets not tart it up that he's an international who's performed in two good leagues.

Just what we didn't need with those results.

Lol
I dont really get posts like that though on a forum full of Everton fans. Who's it trying to kid. Oh he's an international who's played in the Bundesliga and laliga. That could just as easly describe Toni Kroos.
The headline and the breakdown are worlds apart.
We've bought a kid who isnt ready.
Thats it.

I think the context you're saying it in is the key thing though. Saying 'he's an international who's played in La Liga and Bundesliga therefore he's clearly amazing and we need to start him every week' is clearly daft. Saying 'it's not like he's a complete punt we've picked up for 250 grand from Cheltenham Town, he's a £10m signing who's played for his national team and has some top level league experience I'm quite surprised he's not played a single minute of first team football yet' is a bit different.

I mean ive already put it to bed now with this signing. Call it gut reaction or something like that but i thought him and barry against Roma were a bit off it. Its sort of proved to be the case. Opposite to Ndiaye. Gut reaction was we've done ok here. Got that same with Alcaraz who i think atm is being ruined by Moyes.
As it stands it doesnt look money wisely spent. We've not a great recent track record of them coming good.
Its Everton isnt it. You roll your eyes and move on.

interwesting

 

[FCBarça]

Sadly I think you're right that Moyes will keep it safe. I fully expect Aznou to be loaned out in January at this rate

Getafe a probable destination

 

[Ryan Baker]

interwesting

Well what's the reason

 

[frank_da_tank]

Well what's the reason

Was thinking this

 

[atrottel]

Well, it's going to be interesting to see if he does go on loan. If he goes to the continent, I think we can wave goodbye to him being with us for too much longer. He'd possibly be best served by going to the Championship, but whether he would agree to that is another matter. (And whether a Championship club would want a physically under-developed left back with questionable defensive experience is another matter.)

If he really is seen as a prospect, his best punt would probably be staying and soaking up as much as he can from Baines (who also wasn't Charles Atlas but had an excellent career).

Also bought Baines at 23 after playing around 150 games for wigan.
I feel a bit for this lad as he quite clearly wasnt what Everton needed right now. If someone saw something in him thats fine. He shouldnt have been seen as anything for right now. He's hardly played for anyone. Why would he. He's 19.
It was highlighted more when mykolenko was injured pre season and we started a right footed midfielder at left back against leeds on the opening day.
Was all this talk that he needs to beef up and adapt more to the pace. He's not going to get that on the training ground at Everton or the rezzies.
Needs a good season long loan somewhere.
Everton should have bought a ready made left back last summer.

‘Not physically ready for the PL’

Who the hell signed him as a first team player then and why?
