His first touch worried me.

even if it's only 4 months, still counts as an everton career.

I know mate, just thought it sounded a little odd like, probably just me second guessing tho

Mine too, BUT I'm giving him benefit of the doubt. I play 5-a-sde and if I have a week off my first touch turns to s****, this lad has been inured and hasn't played for months.

Really? I thought he controlled the ball fine. Several times he brought the ball down well. To be honest, I felt he was at least as good as Lukaku in that regard. He also picked out Pienaar for a killer cross field pass in the 2nd half too. I was really pleased with how he looked, especially for his first game for us.

He will sign in the summer I think, that's why he chose us over West Ham and why Bobby didn't spend in the transfer window. I don't think he would come here for 4 months just to go back to Monaco who have the money to go and get anyone in world football more or less. Monaco only bought him in the first place to help out Anzhi - the owners are mates or something

TBH supposed to be a speed merchant great on the ground - he played out of necessity looked very rusty and tired, but he scored and his nemesis in Naismith looked fantastic when coming on so when Lukaku can play we have good cover!

we'll see. i think monaco may have just bought him too make a profit. i'm sure we'll address it in the summer. decent start today, just have a good feeling about him, was refreshing to see a striker today,

2 of our goals and an assist from our backup front men - is right.

Goal aside, I put his performance down to a total lack of fitness (at least I hope that's what it is).

Go easy on him, we will sign him in the summer and next season will see the best of him.
