Thumbbass 318 Posted July 30, 2020 Maybe with one eye on Cantwell/Buendia potentially leaving? Missing some of the steel/strength that we need but no doubt a decent signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALBOWLLY 15 Posted July 30, 2020 I think he's a cracking player. He had a nightmare first half of the season at Derby County with many fans describing him as appalling. However, he was good at Forest, helped The Blades to promotion and was prominent in Wigan's near survival. He's an exciting signing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,606 Posted July 30, 2020 Wow, that came out of nowhere. I think he's more of an attacking mifielder, number 10 type. Lots of Championship experience and homegrown too so lots of boxes ticked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt. Looks more of a Maddison type. And very experienced at championship level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crab man 164 Posted July 30, 2020 I make that 7 now if you include Mccallum. That's a lot of change, and a lot of inexperience, hope we can hit the ground running. Also makes you wonder how long the departures list is going to be... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlad666 203 Posted July 30, 2020 Would think that’s the end of Vrancic and steiperman as they’re well down the pecking order now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted July 30, 2020 Yeah that's Vrancic gone I reckon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bennett 783 Posted July 30, 2020 How refreshing to sign somebody and it not be talked about or rumoured for days and weeks beforehand. Not quite like hearing it on the wireless or reading it in the paper but I’ll take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 30, 2020 love a good signing outta nowhere! Looks a strong number 10/ number 8 type who has quality but doesn't let it compromise his role in defending Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vrancic was instrumental in our promotion last season. He didn't quite step up to the prem (although he was arguably not given a fair crack) but he is great at Championship level. I'd be disappointed if he went. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trybull, Leitner, Vrancic, Stieperman, Cantwell and Buendia surely heading out the door. Can see Tettey and McLean sticking around. And Hernandez of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted July 30, 2020 Now this really does look exciting by championship standards. Not sure why Everton have sold him. Only 22 5 goals in 12 starts for Wigan last season and on an earlier loan to Forrest 9 goals. Far too good to be on the bench in the championship so looks like a replacement difficult to say who for Steipermann possibly or Cantwell either way a very good acquisition another 22 year old whoes career is going up not down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted July 30, 2020 Could be a good signing this lad, young and hungry, done well in this league on loan, helps the homegrown quota, and thank **** we didn't sign Duda.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I think as a 6ft midfielder with very good technical skills he is definitely an upgrade on Stiepermann My son is a friend of an Everton season ticket holder who knows a lot about all of the players naturally. We've signed a very good player. Edited July 30, 2020 by sonyc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted July 30, 2020 One thing you can’t level at Dowell is inexperience - 70-odd games in the Champs and plenty for England age groups, this could be exactly the sort of signing we need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,219 Posted July 30, 2020 Given our aging midfield it's refreshing to see some young blood in there. Think it's a shame we never got Reed on a permanent as I quite liked him to eventually take over from Tettey. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerrykerry 223 Posted July 30, 2020 Great signing. Vrancic is 31 and has lost his legs. Tettey is never going to cope next season, trybull will be gone, buendia and cantwell may well be off, so this makes total sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,518 Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) So...who from the new signings might be in the squad? I assume so far....Sitti, Sinani, Sorensen, Mumba, Dowell, Placheta will be? Then Gilmour? Was on loan but may get chance? Famewo...Yes? Thomas... Yes? Dennis...For the u23s? Soto on loan. Anyone I've missed? Edited July 30, 2020 by sonyc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
