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 Possibly doing whatever they can so finances work for Cenk Tosun.

CitySSeven Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I don't know if these have been posted before in this thread, but myself not knowing much about him, I looked him up and this is what I've found on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Is it true that he is only 5 ft 6in? I know that doesn't mean you can't be a good ball player but is there a possibility at his age and size that he could get bullied out of the game in this league? It is quite physical and even bigger players can struggle until they fill out a bit - as LJ has mentioned with Bobby Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcolebristol Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Last season bobby Reid was overlooked when times got tough. Prob same happened at Bham this year with Walsh. Nothing to do with his talent, just not the right time to give him his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenose mate of mine said he was a light weight and a bit of a show pony. Probably sour grapes cos they're rubbish but that was his view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it but when you take in the money in the prem yes its a bargain. Chelsea paid 35m for danny drinkwater ffs and when you put other recent transfer in the mix it doesn't exactly look good on Everton's part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I know it's only highlights but he looks like a quality passer with a good engine; and can tackle. Bit of a midfield general with creative spark. Have a feeling we may have unearthed a gem here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very hard to knock off the ball so say the Everton fans on their forum as well as experiencing League 2 with Yeovil - I don’t think he’s a shrinking violet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Reading these comments sounds promising Tragic. One of the most talented youngsters to come through the ranks leaves without so much as a run in the first team. On the same day as Barkley leaving too. Tells us where this club is heading. Big Sam has no interest in youngsters, developing potential or Everton's future. Sad to see this transfer to be honest. Was hoping for big things from him. Good luck in your future career Liam. I hope we've inserted a clause with us being given 1st option if you ever move on. I wonder does this mean Joe Bryan moving in the oposite direction. He looks like a decent player. Just posted on the Barkley thread. This is worse than RB leaving for me as this kid has talent in abundance that we never got to see, cause we always play two defensive midfielders. He'll probably be back in the Premier League next season, bossing our lot. I was about to ask if we have inserted a buy back clause, but then I remembered this is the Everton board we're talking about. Liam (3) just posted an almost identical letter on the Barkley thread, Absolutely gutted, what is going on at our club. How much bad news can I take in one day? RB now Liam without so much as a sniff at the first team. A shambles and we still have the Derby game tonight! Ah well they say these things come in 3's! I struggle to understand why Liam was never given a decent opportunity to prove himself in the first team. Further galls me that an often out-of-sorts Tom Davies is given chance after chance yet it's clear to those of us who've seen them both on the same pitch who is the vastly better playe It's the hope that kills you. After RB left I thought at least we have Liam Walsh coming through...then bosh, another hope trampled... This is a worse blow than the Barkley move. Bad news comes in threes, more to follow. Like many others I am not happy as I thought he was a cert to make it if given the chance. One would have to think that Unsie would have been asked for an opinion as to whether to keep him or sell? Absolutely gutted, but I wish him every success. Big mistake letting Liam go - Skilful player? Check. - Suited to building a team focused on fluid, attacking football? Check. - Utility type players already available in the squad? Check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 We mustn't build him up too much, he hasn't much experience at senior football so imagine he'll only have bench appearances for a while (a bit like Brownhill, O'Dowda etc when they first joined). Needs to be given time to prove himself, will make some mistakes to start with but we seem to have the knack on taking these talented youngsters to the next level.

Midlands Robin Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I can never remember seeing a player we've signed so well talked up by fans of the selling team. Given that he's never made a first team appearance its even more impressive. Can't wait to see what he can do on the pitch. Welcome Liam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no because he’d definitely be in their side. Interesting to see plenty really rate him though , some thinking he’s better than Tom Davies . Having not seen him in the prem though I’m not sure how they can say that. Very exciting signing all the same . Got 4 quality central midfielders now.
