Magic Richy Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I think he would be a decent signing, strong in the air, tall, great tackler and still very young. What do you lot think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Are we in for him? He looks pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopp9987 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Would love to see us go for Weston. I think a partnership of he and Gomes would be stellar, as Weston is much more comfortable sitting in front of the back line, which would allow Andre more freedom to go forward. And of course I'm biased because he's a Yank, but even without these rose-colored glasses, he'd be a great signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can also score from set pieces which is a bonus. I I think he would complement Gomes very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 He’s an American we should sign him for that alone other than pulisic we’ll get a lot of press from the states (like we did with Howard). Could be worthwhile investment that way. as a player it’s a yes as well, this would be a great signing. Speaks English and has played abroad in a top league already, it shouldn’t be a hard adjustment. Magic Richy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of fans on here and matchdays at Goodison from America because of Howard. It’s smart from a commercial perspective too (see man United’s kit sponsor) to get more visibility in the states. I’m all for good players but surely moshiri and the board thinking of this marketing stuff as well? Cahill got us a ton of Aussie fans, had Cenk kicked on wed have gotten Turks too. im not saying sign people just because of this.

Even as a shareholder I don’t give a crap about the financial performance, I care about what happens on the pitch. I can guarantee when Moyes was looking at Tim Cahill he didn’t give one thought to the exposure in Australia. Turkish football fans are massively tribal, they follow their own clubs with huge passion. Doubt they will start worrying about buying Everton shirts because of Tosun. pete0, Romey 1878, Zoo 2.0 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a massive difference when those players are Ronaldo and Beckham. You know they will perform just as good on the pitch as they did in the club shop. They were the best in the game. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 According the Bild the deal is off. Between the fee and his wages, Hertha was put off. Southampton, Leicester and Wolves were mentioned. Even if we bring in Allan, I would still love for us to go after McKennie. Allan, McKennie, Gomes, Gbamin and Davies looks good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS That’s the problem ‘talented up and coming’... we need ready now, proven quality who Ancelotti can rely on straight away. We have talented young first team players in Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Holgate, Branthwaite, Gordon, Kean, Davies (!) even Iwobi and Gbamin - we need some more senior players ready to hit the ground running. In Allan, someone Ancelotti knows well, and Doucoure, someone who has looked very good in this league playing for an average Watford, there are 2 players at the ‘peak’ of their career who will hopefully help transform our pathetic midfield.

c1982 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I will add, my preference is always signing young up and coming talent but I don’t think we’re in the position to sign another Kean who may need a year to get used to new country etc. we can do that next summer when we’ve got a settled squad (who have just won an FA Cup and finished in the top 4).

I would say putting the "up and coming" tag on him is a little unfair (although he is young and still has a lot of potential). He's been in the Schalke first team for a couple of years now starts pretty much every game for them. Physically he's definitely ready for this league as well. Then again, it is Schalke and they're in shambles atm. Kean had barely broken through to the first team when we signed up. Definitely no American bias on my part either.

They sold Hojbjerg but have since signed Walker-Peters and a centre-back from La Liga. I think the big difference is that they don’t have the massively overpaid deadweight that we have. Players like Tosun, Bolasie, Bešić, Sandro, etc will have a massive influence on the moves we make this summer - fail to find solutions and it could prove very frustrating! markjazzbassist, Matt and AlbanyNYToffee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
