Jean-Clair Todibo

[messymascot]

More likely he will be sold for a small fee next summer.

Keane has become a starter under Carlo.

I think by the time Ancelotti has seen Keane for a season he will realise great defender majority of the time but prone to lapses and once caught out rarely recovers. Gibson its in the balance I personally would have kept him and played him alongside Keane until Holgate returned but as we agreed with him to go on loan this didn't happen. I personally think it will be Mina who gets sold. Next season I imagine it will be Holgate and whoever we get now as first choice with Keane on the bench and Gibson 4th choice. Hopefully we will have European football so should be games for everyone.

....if we really wanted Todibo then surely he would be here by now. It suggests to me that we’re either not interested or have a few others ahead of him on our shopping list.

Would be good to get in another young French lad just so Nkounkou doesn't have to hang out with Yannick Bolassie.

We have quite a lot of French speakers in the squad: Digne, Bolasie, Gbamin, Doucoure maybe Beni.

Anybody who has seen this man play would not want to buy him, if he is any good why are Barcelona doing all they can to get him out of the door, both our young c/bs, one on loan are better than him. If he came here he would be a bench warmer at best.

If he's not good enough for Barcelona, he's not good enough for us.

While that is the level we should be aspiring to, I don't think we are quite there yet. Bear in mind Real were doing everything they could to get James out the door

Lucas Digne and 99.9% of Evertonians wouldn't agree with you on this one mate.

Yer was thinking more around his age, all of them are a bit older, probably married with kids, not that that means there all past it but not the same as being 19/20.

Nkounku

Yeh the post was regarding friends for Nkounkou.

Don’t know how many of these youth can make it. This season he has to stand out at Reading at least.

If Carlo thinks he is good enough he would have kept him just like Nkounkou.

I think he will and if he doesn't hopefully Branthwaite might. He needs to be Readings best player that is the standard I'm looking for.

Or it suggests that they want to sell and we want to loan and we're still negotiating

Or it may suggest that Tomori is still first choice and we are still negotiating on that front. This lad is back up in case we miss out.

Could be a number of reasons Eggs

Branthwaite is promising and what a unit. 6 ft 5 when he is 18.

Everybody knows about Barcelona's problems, so maybe we're waiting for them to become a desperate and get him on our terms.

He is but needs time to develop such a shame he picked that injury up but these things happen. Hopefully he trains with first team and gets some game time over the Xmas period.
