It would certainly seem the most likely option , although I do remember Dave beasant missing games after dropping a bottle of salad cream on his foot so I’m not sure we can rule anything out .

And Richard Wright falling down from his attic!

His foot injury will just have cleared up by then.

Optimistic shout, that

He has shot himself in the foot rather than play for us.

dholliday · August 21, 2018

high hopes for this lad, he'll start slowly and make some errors, but I expect a strong 2nd-half to the season.

Coggy · August 21, 2018

Likewise.
Especially attacking our corners from Siggy

I had a dream last night that Everton released their own version of the Amazon Echo with Yerry’s voice.

Make of that what you will.

headed 1st-half goal against Arsenal in September nailed on.

it's a fair bet that he'll start slow as he's not quite match-fit yet, and needs to adjust to the Prem. I'm not expecting world-class once he does settle, but deffo something like Weir-level stability plus Lescott-ratio of goals.

..he runs like a Bambi on ice, not sure there will be a Weir like level of stability. It could be more hearts in mouth with Mina, which is why the right partner will be important. I can see him becoming a cult figure.

Aye, he certainly did for Barca, he didn't seem in tune with what the coaches wanted of him. But for Palmeiras he looked a little more stable (plenty of useful vids online with dreadful music), plus he's young still for a central defender so hopefully our coaching can get a good tune out of him.

The big ask is the jump in opposition quality from Palmeiras to Barca is obviously massive and he hasn't proven yet he can keep up. At least the Prem has more weaker sides than La Liga so hopefully that'll help him build up a rhythm.

..absolutely. I think both the S American clubs he played for won the title. Really looking forward to watching him.
