Big Allan has just sacked his agent and emailed Everton for a refund after watching that game.

Or after seeing that he is now in a stronger posistion and he will get in contact with he's agent to now get a 6 year deal.

We have a man on the inside.

The wingman?

If , after watching that s**t today , anyone still thinks we shouldn't get him in urgently , they really do need to give their heads a bloody big wobble.

Need this wrapped up asap!!!!

The difference this bloke (and hopefully Doucoure) is gonna make will be staggering.

Having presence in the midfield is gonna make the defence and even Jordan Pickford look much better.

If I am the player I will ask for 8 year contract. Padrew can get that why not?

Literally nobody has said we shouldn't get this done urgently though.

The deal is being worked on. We might not want to pay Napoli an extra £5m right now, or £10m. You can say 'that's not a lot', but it really, really is. It's a £100k p/wk player (or two).

It's being worked on. Had he been signed last week, or the week before, he wouldn't have played today. He wouldn't have even started pre-season, tbh.

One thing that was noticeable today was a switch to a 4-3-3 (well, tried to be that, but ended up being a 4-5-1).

It was obviously a trifector of tosh with Davies-Gylfi-Gordon, but I think the setup is clearly in place with the idea of having two new players slotting in, and ideally it looks like: Allan-Gomes-Doucoure.

It was a bit asymmetric in the first half as well with Kean pushed way up compared to Iwobi, probably to support Dom, whether that's tactical or unfamiliarity with the position I dont know but that position would suit Richarlison as well as a wide forward as oppose to a winger.
