Confirmed Signing Niels Nkounkou

[Zezti]

I for one welcome our new French Luke Garbutt.

 

[PSB1]

Welcome to your new life in the asylum, Neils. And by that, I mean I'll pay for your taxi to Paris you useless spanner footed washout.

 

[Kantareller]

I see Marseille fans are very upset

 

[Grinch]

I don't know about you all, but I hope he is a two footed player and goes on the right side.

 

[Nymzee]

Welkommen

Everton Sign Young French Defender

Latest news from Everton Football Club

Doesn't say here if he's linking up with the U23's, might be with the first team like Branthwaite?

Branthwaite is and was bought for the u23s, he's only in the first team squad because we're really short of centre backs and because of extra subs.

Would any of us say virginia is really first team?

Says in the Times he’s expected to train with the first team but play under Unsworth. Make of that what you will

Ha, imagine being convinced to join the club by ancelotti to play under him, only to be told you're going with david unsworth as soon as the contract is signed.

 

[Grinch]

Two quick plays from him! Swift and looks as if he only has the left

 

[kev]

About time too. Thought we were going to mess this one up.
Why do all our transfers become such long, drawn out sagas? Oh well, he's finally here eventually.

 

[heatmeiser]

Sensible move to cover for Digne. Presumably that's the signal that Baines wont be staying.

This lad has never made a first team appearance. I don't think he's quite a replacement for Baines just yet

Mercato : rude bataille entre trois clubs pour Niels Nkounkou

On se dirige vers la fin du feuilleton Niels Nkounkou (19 ans). Depuis plusieurs jours, le latéral gauche disposait d'une offre de l'Olympique de (...) - Footmercato

Unfortunately in only french, spanish or german but comments underneath from their fans unhappy his going except 1 lad who called him out for leaving and said he ll shoot him if he ever see s him in Marseille ;-)

Villas Boas highly thought of him but did'nt play him over older senior lads out of position or loan him out to other teams enough but fans rspect his decision to leave as 2 of their best prospects but say its EUFA rules that forced their hand to wait to offer a pro deal

 

[Eggs]

.....I like the look of him (quality and athleticism) and I like that Brands is aware of him.

Acquiring young talent is low risk and a strategy that has worked for us.

Exactly. Stones, Holgate, DCL. More of those please.

Why on earth would we buy a player “for the under 23s”?

 

[Jim Hopper]

Don’t know anything about him.

As long as we don’t give him a 5 year deal and then loan him out for 5 seasons it’s all good.
