c1982 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I didn't realise he'd been on loan at Roma last season - an injury plagued loan. Injury-free, it'd be a no-brainer but what are the chances of that because he's only played a handful of games in the last 4 seasons? Jérémy Mathieu, a left sided centre back, left Barca on a free this summer - surely that would have been a better short term fix. On a separate note, Polly Parsons (Mrs Vermalen) would be an excellent addition to the stands at Goodison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 A loan with a pay if you play contract, but rather not get him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Well it's a pretty no risk piece of business as long as it's just for squad back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Why would we sign someone just to give our physio's someone to work on. That's why we have McCarthy. Edited August 13, 2017 by London Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Seems like another pointless Everton 30+yo defender loanee . We've had a couple of shitters like this before, haven't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 If he stays fit he's a quality player- hopefully Baines will stay fit most of the season so he only plays a handful of games. If he does play- at least we know he's good and experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because whoever we sign wont play regular which means it's difficult to get a player to come knowing they wont play. I'm not saying it's right btw but that'll be a massive part of trying to attract a player- can you sign for us please and just be happy sitting on the bench or playing in the rezzies in case Baines or Williams get injured. That's our main issue mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 The logic here makes perfect sense: A proven player who can step in from time to time. With a record of injuries, he could not start every week, but that's not a requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not signing him anyway and I know exactly what you're saying but if he's the only option and we got 15 games out of him- on loan it's viable although not ideal.

We've left it way too late I would put £1000 on him not even making it into double figures for appearances. Thank fuck we're not signing him.
