2025/26 Adam Aznou

Thats your take?

Mine is that the talent is there but they wanted to put him on a program to bulk up.

For an £8mil 19 year old i dont see anything wrong with this.

I'm always sceptical of that phrase 'Bulk Up'
People seem to think it's a magic fix all.
For certain Physiques you end up like lukaku did at United
For certain Physiques your 'fast muscles' lose there 'snap'
If the guy is a bit of a mental wimp anyway, it's no use at all

Its unlikely a "mental wimp" would have backed himself to:

Leave Barca for Bayern
Push for a loan to Valladolid
Tell Bayern he wanted to be in the 1st team squad
Choose to join Everton

He could have just sat it out at the 2 big clubs or taken a loan move in Germany or Spain.

I think Gordon added on muscle while he was with us. Thats all they will want from Aznou i think.

I'm not saying he is one (or even that it exists really) but none of those things would really preclude him from being seen as a 'mental wimp'. Someone who continually thinks the reason they're not getting what they want is because of someone else's decision making and that everything will be better if they move somewhere else, rather than believing they need to knuckle down and work at their game, may well have some issues with mentality and attitude. Like I said, not saying he does, but the 'evidence' you're putting forward to say he doesn't doesn't really stack up.
