Confirmed Signing Jean-Philippe Gbamin

finally we've got a big 6ft goliath in our midfield that will tackle anything, it's what I've always wanted

 

[buskwhi2]

Passing range looks good from the small amount I’ve seen of him and he can push up a bit too. Personally I think we’ll stick with him being a defensive mid. Certainly built like a centre half though

I did like what I read about him being able to drop into a back 3 if we have both of our full backs bombing on. It’s always a concern if we have one overlapping and the other attacking the box that we’ll get done on the counter so he could provide a bit more cover in defence to prevent that.

Still none the wiser to be honest.

 

[Huyton Layne]

It's off...

 

[Deco]

Barely seen him play but he looks like the right profile of player. With him/Gomes/Delph/Davies rotating we have a good mix and competition for the two positions.

£25m and probably cheaper wages also fits our transfer strategy.

He has a lot of upside at 23 too - it’s a good deal overall.

Toffee TV have as much knowledge of this lad as I do... none.

So just admit it yer blerts, stop telling me the same nonsense i can read on twitter from Sky etc. We're not stupid.

 

[AmericasToffee]

Am I crazy or is this the first time we've seen Contract Dave this summer? Don't think he was in with either Delph or Gomes

 

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

Bama it is then.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

...much will depend on who else comes in. Mina/Keane doesn’t seem the best to me, and Mina has had problems putting a run of games together. I like Mina, by the way.

Common denominator is lack of pace. Both need a pacy recovery CB beside them. I see them both competing for a place alongside whomever we bring in.

Gareth Barry was brilliant at that, always knew when to sit in when Coleman and Baines bombed on

You would actually have to learn another language to pronounce that correctly

Bama it is then.

Gaybamin... eeeh mayte, not gonna work that.

Bama it is.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

just refer to him as sat-nav

 

[harris78]

Sod it I'm not even giving him half an hour.... BOOOOOO!!!!
