2025/26 Adam Aznou

With all due respect mate that assist was in basically a training game in front of a mini bus and a fella standing there with his dog on a lead.
Its a world apart from that and stepping into one of the most demanding leagues around.
Oh god yeah absolutely. I really do have no idea how 'ready' he is, he's just clearly very talented is all. My gripe is more how we've handled him/the situation.

All we've done so far is waste our own money in terms of wages, waste half a season of crucial development for him, and piss the kid off because we've clearly mis-sold him playing time. There's no excuse for not knowing where he was at in terms of readiness before the start of the season, that's on Moyes and the recruitment team imo.
 
He was there from like 13 to 16 years old before going to Bayern. No idea if he was binned off or poached.
Still decent pedigree. Plenty didn't make it at Barca from La Masia but carved out a good career. Arteta, Deleufeo for example in relation to us. I can't see how he's been written off on here without a ball being kicked 🤔

No issues with the lad at all. But we needed a hit the ground running left back and right back. Nothings changed.
Terrible recruitment from the club. Not Aznou. Just the fullback situation in general. I'd love to grill all the DOF at Everton over the past 6 or 7 years over this.

Is he very talented though? I don’t think anyone who has watched him play for us at any level has described him as having played well. In fact quite the opposite. If you’re not a stand out player for the u21s you’re not going to come into the first team and hold your own.

Yeah but good players can come from anywhere. Some players just dont kick on either regardless of where they come from. La Masia will have a great record because they plow tons of money into it.

I'm not writing him off at all by the way. But there will be a reason he is not playing and if its just a case of not quite being ready yet then that's fine.
 
Another who should be looking for a new agent and new club.

Handled and managed horrendously by everyone.
Thought might have seen him atleast come off the bench play lm atleast one time this season. Even the game we had was ready to come on then next minute was gone. Is a strange situation with the lad if moyes does not plan using him really need to get him a loan. Even in the championship and bring cover in on loan
 
Weirdly enough of we did play him from the start he would probably be at AFCON right now.
Gone from an international to nothing in 6 months thanks to us.

He should have absolutely been used more, as should others.

The lad (and others) will never get match fit if he’s never playing, so frustrating as we ain’t exactly been pulling up trees.

How aznou or any of the new signings who never get game time can be written off baffles me - we haven’t seen anywhere near enough of them to make that judgement, and I don’t trust Daveys opinion on any player, as he’s still selecting Dwight McNeil so that makes his judgment very, very suspect.
 
Id like to see him in a senior game.

I dont trust Moyes. He's a political manager.
Your attitude on this just shows you have never played the game and are clueless. If players go down a level they should always stand out. Now there maybe some players who are a 8/10 at a lower level and 7/10 at a higher level and some that are a 10/10 at a lower level and 6/10 at a higher level but it never ever works in the opposite way.

Yeah I alluded to that. Its not about money so much with La Masia, its about tradition and culture. Really good book about Barca which goes into.it quite deeply. Good read/listen.
 
That's not illuminating. Why is it nonsense?

Hels a player who came from Barcelona and then hels forced to play with kids right out of school many of them.

Imagine trying to make a silk purse out of that sows ear.
Wasn’t this your Kieron Dowell argument? I’m surprised you still post here after the embarrassment of that particular episode for you.
 
He’s 19. He’s needs to play better in training and any other matches he plays. I’d say based on the fact he hasn’t played he’s stinking the place out. If Moyes knows he’s awful do think he should still give him minutes to placate the dimwits in our fanbase?
Eitherway. If he's not good enough he still needs to leave! It was an incredibly strange signing!
