Confirmed Signing Youssef Chermiti

A 6 - 8 goal striker who can press, win the ball, win fouls, hold the ball up, and fling himself at crosses would do nicely.

Marcus Bent, basically.

…watching him, I thought he’ll win plenty of fouls.

Mate id never heard of the boy until a couple of hours ago.

Ive just seen some clips showing him holding the ball up...tracking back...playing balls past and running behind defenders....running channels and getting on the end of crosses.

Thats literally all ive seen. Ive read one single report about him which i posted earlier -- again when the news broke.

Unless youve been watching him then im not sure how either of us can say hes good or bad at anything. Stats look decent though.

Sporting dont typically promote kids who arent very good.

How do you rate him alongside Elanga, Gnonto, Dia and that kid who went to Italy. In terms of value and skill set.

I've been watching sporting since this kid broke through. He could do well.

This is an interesting one. Is he the guy we should be signing in a relegation threatened squad? Maybe not. But I guess we threw our hands up in the air and just said “whelp, we are being priced out of every move, we’ll go for the potential.” I am okay with that. We should be looking for these guys regardless and finding potential as opposed to finished products.

yep, smacks of total desperation this.

Once Everton has touched you.....
He was charged with affray and possession of a Class A drug in September 2015 after police used a taser whilst arresting him at his home in Esher, Surrey.[42] He had called 999 after believing intruders were in his house, but was tasered by police responding to the call.[43] In February 2016 he admitted to one charge of affray and possession of cocaine; he was given a suspended 12-month prison sentence, a two-month curfew and 200 hours of compulsory unpaid work.[44] Four months later he was fined £385 with £85 costs after being found with cocaine at Chessington World of Adventures.[45] He was declared bankrupt in January 2019.[46]

So, he's available on a free? Get him in

“We should be scouting and signing young players with big potential”

[Everton bid 30m for a 21 year old striker]

“No, we should find them when they’re younger and less expensive”

[Everton bid 15m for a 19 year old striker]

“Mm, he’s a bit raw”

So according to Twitter: Sporting fans can't believe their luck with the fee mentioned, the lad himself isn't aware of any interest from Everton, some Blues are celebrating like we've just signed Mbappe and others have written him off saying he's either sh1te or looks sh1te on YouTube.

Brilliant.
