He's immature as you'd expect. Haven't seen the supposed skills yet either. Get him out on loan and re-evaluate in the summer.

Just give the lad time, we've got plenty of problems and he isn't one of them.

A striker who doesn't strike.
I'd say that was a massive problem, especially when you pay £30M for them.
The lad isn't going to make it in this league. He may be the bright new prospect elsewhere, but here he'll be a footnote...and barely that.

He's a young lad coming to a foreign country and to a largely crap Everton team with next to no creativity. But you know all this already so I won't push the sensible argument any further.

He's failed to make ANY impact. I dont care if he's 19. So what? Rooney was making an impact at 15 and 16.

It is a problem though. He's our 3rd choice striker and we play with 2 up front. The signs are worrying. He feels like another Sandro so far.

I went to Rome over new year and taxi rides were like car chases.
his work rate is better than it was a few games ago, I'm still in the 'give him time' camp.

He's only made 4 league starts as of yet.
His adjustment may be painfully slow, but his situation isn't like Niasse who was playing games straight away, fully fit and being absolutely horrific. Kean started here nowhere near fit and has clearly had trouble adjusting to the English game, which is understandable given the league he came from, language skills and his age.
The reality is that this entire season was always going to be about getting him settled. That has cost us enormously as it's meant we've had to play DCL up front all season and means questions should be asked of Marcel Brands i.e. just what did he think Kean was going to deliver this season/what we were going to look like up front if he wasn't quite ready.
I still don't think he's 100% fit yet and it's difficult to judge him as what we've seen of him so far is a nervous, unsure Kean, lacking in confidence. We're yet to see a confident, bullish Kean, who'd probably be twice the player we're watching currently. Getting there is up to him, mind. But he clearly needs more game time than he's had so far.

The deep rooted negativity and obsession with slating our young players holds us back.

I still think he will come good, up until Dunc came in the team was playing awful football, no one was covering themselves in glory, Kean in the main then was out of the team, he’s only really now started to get a decent amount of game time. WHU was always going to be a harder game than usual, Moyes would have been well up for it and got his team the same, also they are trying to impress a new manager. Kean could do with more game time at goodison.
They kept Niasse hidden for weeks after buying him, likely in shame.

I'd say continuing to play them when they clearly aren't ready for the responsibility is what holds us back. For example, would Tom Davies be playing regular first team football for any of the top 6 teams in the country? I don't think so.

He should be playing for the under 23’s

Would people be saying he will come good if he was a £30m singing for Liverpool who hadn't scored a goal in his first 6 months? I have my doubts. We're all desperate for him to do well but saying he definitely will based on what we've seen is just out of hope rather than expectation.
