Confirmed Signing Jean-Philippe Gbamin

[Jimmy Grimble]

Hopefully the first letter G is silent otherwise pronunciation of his name might be difficult for anyone who wants to hurl abuse or praise at him.

Last player to have praise hurled at him at goodison was the albino Scottish Messi and he wasn't even playing for us. Besides most of us can pronounce boooooo pretty well.

 

[larbert toffee]

His name is an anagram of 'mingebag', which is fun.

Dear Milkman

technically his name is an anagram of 'a mingebag'

In reality can I have 2 pints of full cream and half a dozen eggs in the morning,

Cheers

Larbs.

Will we have a sneak peak on Saturday against Mainz anyways?

 

[Borussin]

Strange one this as we where supposed to be interested in his team mate also called jean-Phillipe who is a striker.

Jean-Philippe Mateta, another fine young player Mainz bought from France. Scored 14 goals in his first season in the Bundesliga last season for them. They have a rather good scouting network in France. Each year they bring in another young French player for a reasonable fee who shines for them.

Jean is a girls name where I come from. And Phillip is a boys name. What are we dealing with here?

Well, apparently he can play in all positions so it fits

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

This is totally bonkers . I can't tell the WUMs from the idiots

why do you presume exclusivity?

He's a defensive mid, I swear. He's been playing more CM though to accommodate Kunde who's also good. Gbamin can also pass and create a bit. Definitely has passing range and a bit of flair at times. He'll push tempo, too, he's not going to.sit on the ball. He's super right footed. He'll even let a long shot fly or two. He's also very very strong, loves a standing tackle, and will absolutely swat guys to the ground to win the ball. Really physical and wins his share of battles. Might honestly be better off losing a couple pounds of mass and gaining just a but of quickness for the PL, but he doesnt seem slow. Good in the air, should help on set pieces. I think he's a more natural defensive mid IMO. He can get better, too, especially with his positioning and awareness. From good to great. That's my take and I've seen him play a bit.

Almost like there is life after Gueye?

Probably have to sign him first

 

[everton1953]

I hope we don't get him. I can't say GBamin, I get stuck on the G before I can get to the B.

 

[Number_25]

I don't know who he is, but his name is class.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Any craic with the heat map on this young fella?

 

[Zezti]

BEHOLD

 

[Lob]

Hopefully they announce this guy signing around about the same time as they announce Gueye leaving.

Like him a lot. Tall, fast, young, strong and can score.
