Mason Holgate

[Brennan]

Oh alright Baxter then or Kissock or Velios or or or.... Green was just a recent name of which we shelled out a significant sum for. And thanks for the warm welcome.

Youth setup signings tend to be unsuccessful more than successful. For every Stones there are 10 George Greens. Lets not build up the expectation where every adolescent is expected to break into the England squad within 18 months.

Don't think Vellios was ever expected to break into the England squad you pinhead.

Wasn't he Greek?

Don't call someone a pinhead, especially someone whose only just joined and might take it to heart. It's really not a suitable thing to say to a Blue.

Hope theres no sell on clause with this lad if he comes

Of course there is..

25% like with Stones.

I believe that's the point that Brennan was making.
Anyway, Holgate ...

If this lad is anything like Stones, great signing and I'll think he'd adapt quickly based on the fair bit I've seen of him. But is he better than Browning, or Galloway? Still think within a couple of weeks he could be that third CB we've been wanting

You over Barnsley way mate ?
Have to be honest, I don't remember seeing the lad play

 

[andy4efc]

Underwhelming, but long-term a good player hopefully. Still need the 'three' players though.

I remember us getting Stones and not being one bit arsed because I assumed he'd just be some kid who'd forever sit in the reserves and we'd never see him. I was wrong then and ever since I've refused to just assume that any young kid we sign will never become a big player for us. However, we need players for NOW. Players who win us games NOW, players who will take us forwards NOW.

I remember everyone fuming when we signed him because we didn't sign the more experienced Fer. Fed now has two relegations in two years on his CV and is struggling with QPR.

 

[catcherintherye]

Wumming by saying our youth coaches didn't think he was good enough? :l?

Are these the same youth coaches who routinely turn out United youth team to get tw@tted all over the park by Everton youth teams?

I imagine the lad has chosen to come to Everton over United. Most sensible 18 year olds would in fairness.

Sky saying the price was £2m.
