1960maaan Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I may be completely wrong, wouldn't be the first time or the last, but I have to say. I am more excited by this signing ( the reaction from Everton fans helps too) than the prospect of paying £12m for Hugill. This sort of signing has been the cornerstone of our recent success. Would have loved him to have been available for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 The most telling thing to me is, as others have pointed out, the reaction from Everton fans. If any club`s fans know a good young `un when they see one it`s them IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough Birmingham fans gutted about it too on Twitter. Reckon he’ll fit right in with the way we play and are ‘excited’ about seeing his goal gif when he inevitably scores against them. A ‘proper talent’ apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd had a chat after the first week or two and I'd said just give me a little bit of time to look at it. And then when I think he wasn't going to get a game there were probably a few more conversations on whether he should go back or not. I've got nothing but good things to say about him. He's a great kid who had a lovely smile on his face every day he came in. There was no animosity either way, but I didn't see him getting in ahead of what we had, so it was a clean decision.” I fear Steve may live to regret this but then Harry did leave him with a bloated squad.

BobBobSuperBob Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Good posts on Everton Forum ( I havnt left any negative posts out - there wasn’t a single negative one about him - some lovely comment from the Everton fans including about us) smashing player for us at U23 level, you won’t hear bad stories about him on here. Talented in possession but gets stuck in. Strikes a ball well from set pieces. He was a big hit at Yeovil but picked up a nasty injury after he got picked for the young England squad that won the World Cup. Lots of us thought he was next cab on the rank to join the first team but it hasn’t happened and others are ahead of him in the queue. His loan spell at Birmingham was a surprise, but the change in Manager didn’t help. You won’t find the lad wanting for attitude despite his diminutive size. The big unknown is whether he can consistently perform at Championship level. We all wish him well, he’s a goodun. Undisclosed, word is around £1m. Good luck to the lad, he's joined a good club. Fair enough. Decent team Bristol City. Was going to say this myself. We have lost a genuine gem I think. Hope that there is a buyback clause but that would mean someone with transfer acumen at the club.... this lad is better than Davies, Baningime etc and should have got a chance in the First Team in the second half of the season. Meanwhile we’ve still got Schneiderlin, Klaasen, Besic & McCarthy all wasting places in our First Team squad. I hope this is similar to the Deulofeu deal in that we can bring him back over the next couple of years if he pushes on. Good that he has gone to a good footballing team like Bristol City Seemed to be on the cards, but still taken aback and genuinely sad. @ZiderEyed you're lucky - check out ciderspace too to see what Yeovil fans used to say about him - I know it was a couple of levels down, but it was also a couple of years ago and the way a slight looking teenager helped turn around the season for a club that looked like falling out of the football league was impressive. Hopefully we'll get him back some day! Very disappointed in this,this lad is far more likely to succeed in the PL than Dowell. Like Dowell he has the talent but he also has tenacity which Dowell very very much lacks. We’ve sold the wrong youngster in my opinion. Im gutted mate. Really am. Good thing I didn't buy that shirt with Walsh on the back.. my grand idea to bolster his reputation within the club.. Bristol City are definitely my second club now. I truly hope he delivers in his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 1 hour ago, GrahamC said: What a bizarre post. Think the Everton fans reactions speak louder than the fact Cotts binned him off so soon, especially in the position they are in. We have signed a 20 year old, who is undoubtedly one for the future rather than now, but who comes with a very decent pedigree. Looks a very good fit for the way LJ plays the game to me. Deliberately so. As I said in another post, exactly the right signing for the future, and deliberately over-stating the negative to try and keep immediate expectations realistic. And let's not forget that loan spells are always an accurate indication, just wonder what happened to Danny Rose and Lewis Dunk, two of our less than inspiring loanees. And yes, that is irony, not serious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Somerset Red Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Have Everton got a sale on or something, because i mean Barkley has also just gone for a bargain and now Walsh for 1m? Can't say i've seen this fella play but by the comments he sounds like a starlet who should be more than the fee of 1m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
