Hi everyone,
First of all I should just clarify I'm not here flaming or looking for trouble, I know City aren't everyone's favourite team at the moment but I'm here for the right reasons.
I thought you might (or might not!) want to hear about Jo from someone who's seen him in the flesh this season.
He's an excellent young forward, of that there's no doubt. While he only scored three goals for us, that has to be overlooked because he made numerous assists and held the ball extremely well whenever he played. He's relatively quick and good in the air, and of course being Brazilian he's got the inevitable great touch as well.
Unfortunately he and Hughes haven't seen eye to eye for one reason or another and the inept fool has chosen the likes of Ched Evans and Benjani despite it being obvious to everyone we had an excellent kid sitting on the bench dying to play.
His goalscoring record speaks for itself, 44 in 77 for CSKA and I know given the opportunity he'll do fantastically well in this country. David Moyes is the perfect man to get him fully up to speed- he's a manager who actually knows what he's doing and that I feel will benefit Jo.
I'm not sure if he's coming back to us when the loan finishes but I sincerely hope so- he's got a very bright future indeed.
Otherwise, all the best to you lot this season. I have to admit I kicked every seat in the COMS when Cahill scored that 93rd minute goal this season and went through a little spite period, but generally I like Everton- ironic perhaps coming from a City fan with the money available to us now but I love nothing more than a manager and a club who perform well on a shoestring budget. Mr. Moyes has worked wonders in the last number of years and who knows, you might even gatecrash the sky four this season, it's certainly not impossible.
All the best,
Col
