Defenders..........

It'll be a shame if the centre-back situation ends up defining what could potentially be a very interesting season.

Arsenal would be playing Champions League football next month if it wasn't for them fielding arguably the worst pairing in the league in Mustafi and Sokratis. I hope that this doesn't cost Everton.

You have a list and you work down it until you sign someone. I said a few days ago i’d have taken Gary Cahill.

which is no doubt what they did

 

[Fansince1988]

I’m sure Coleman has filled in at CB in the past, he has the experience to do it if really needed, the new French lad I believe is 6.2 ft so perhaps he could do a job there to, with holgate and Gbamin we should be ok.

Except for the signing someone bit?

 

[PVD_Blue]

I've been there when he's done really well for us. Let's hope that Holgate shows up, not the Holgate that we saw in pre-season. Lewis Gibson is another who could find himself in the match day squad at some point during the season.

3-4 teams were interested in Holgate this summer so they must think highly enough of him to not sell. Agreed with Gibson

Genuine question.

Can we still sign players who are out of contract ?

Not suggesting anyone by the way.

Yep

Lucas Neill ended up doing alright.

 

[mawders]

People laughed at me, but once it was clear Zouma wasn't moving this window we should have taken Cahill on a 12 month or 2 year deal.

 

[4737carlin]

He had a good run of matches 2 years ago and then was dropped. I think he’ll do fine if called upon.

Thing is he did start doing ok but then he got racially abused by the racism scum at Anfield and was never the same

 

[bullybeef]

Surely we must look for someone off contract for a 12 month deal as cover.

 

[WA Toffee]

A pairing of Keane and Mina isn't really that bad is it?

 

[TippEverton]

Loving the fact that Seamie and our new centre midfield signing from Mainz are now centre halves, onwards and upwards blues.

Ambition is critical.

 

[Blueclouds]

We are worried about mina injury record from last season. Red cards

 

[aazak]

Caceres or Kolodziejczak on a free anyone?

I looking at Timothée Kolodziejczak on transfermarkt etc just before I came in here. I don't think I've ever seen him play, but 1st choice for the team that finished fourth in Ligue Un, 27, 185cm, etc sounds great on a free. What the hell is the story with his career before that though - especially Mexico?

 

[jazzy]

With the attacking prowess of pur fullbacks a back 5 is not impossible

It is if we haven't got 3 centre backs
