This guy isn't the answer (from the clips I've seen). Tosun MkII
A striker that can run in the correct direction - things are looking up!It would be low hanging fruit to point to the fact he can head a ball and has a first touch but the main difference watching that is his movement in the box. So many headers where he’s running across a defender and giving them no chance unlike our two.

No gifts...just my old eyes.Surely if assessing a footballers ability & potential was that simple, people paid a lot of money to make transfer decisions would have spotted it just by watching him in another league. Or maybe you have a ‘gift’ and should be offering free advice to the recruitment panel?
I just watched the first 3 minutes of the video: moves like someone who knows ( or knew) how to score goals- not someone who gets plaudits for one or two succesful layoffs on the halfway line a game like Barry does. Sign him up ffs.Then get some effin fullbacks!
The comparison is they’re both coming from the same league where they’ve proven to be not good enough for this league.….really don’t get the comparison with Tosun, looks a different type of striker to me.
Yep but if you sign a new striker that fixes itOther teams just make putting dangerous crosses into the box, pull backs, and through balls look so easy.
Manager after manager at Everton just seem to lob the same aimless half hit ball down one of the flanks and try and win a knock down for a full back to float a ball into the box as the entire attacking plan A.

Honestly I find it mad that people , be they supporters or the clubs management , don’t get this .Unless we had prime Drogba upfront, no one is doing anything with the ‘service’ we’re currently providing.
Everton is the only PL club I know where a ball is lashed forward down the middle, and if the striker somehow brings it down on his head, grapples with the centreback and lays the ball off back to the centreback who booted it forward, everyone starts clapping for the hold up play. Truly bizarre, Calvert Lewin used to do it all the time, Barry has started doing it now, an absolute Herculean effort to win a long ball just to make zero progress with it as we’ll just leather the next one out play anyway.
Only the very top sides Saint. The amount of times you see poor crosses and pull backs in football are in most matches to be honest that I see barring the very top teamsOther teams just make putting dangerous crosses into the box, pull backs, and through balls look so easy.
