redpole Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 It will be interesting to see how DH uses his midfield players this year, with Massengo,Walsh, Williams, Morrell, Nagy, Palmer, Szmodics, Paterson, Bakinson and Morton competing for 3 starting positions, I believe the 2 young guns will go out on loan, which still leaves a overloaded midfield, so I believe another couple of players leave either on loan or permanent.

brady bunch Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 brilliant signing, just the type of player we don't have (for all the midfielders we do have in the squad). defiant upgrade on Kory Smith of present day levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 1 hour ago, WirralRobin said: This from Wigan fans on twitter bodes very well! The thought of him and Walsh in centre mid together recreating their Everton youth days is mouthwatering! That’s a good way of summing him up. Heres his data. A really good compliment to what we have. The first of the signings. Also I said I wanted all signings to be “better than we had / have”. Williams is a bloody good start. I guess fee will be around £2.0-2.5m. Wages won’t be astronomical either. At 23 exactly the type to fit in with a predominately young group. But most importantly for a lot of you..... he’s 6’1”.

Likes a tackle apparently, which I am a little unsure about in the modern game, but played alongside Liam Walsh in Everton’s youth team. No outstanding injury issues, but may pick up a few bookings and suspensions, just as well we have cover maybe. Yep..........tackling should be outlawed, it plays no part in the modern game?

winsaw Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 What great news to wake up to, this guy is quality and exactly what we have been needing in midfield, really impressed me when I saw him play last season, and really good seeing the club showing the ambition to go get him as am sure there would have been a fair few championship clubs after him, Really nice to see positive news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonRobin21 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Really excited about this lad. I've monitored him since we were first linked with him. Exactly the type of player we need in midfield. A Young player with 100 championship appearances already, likes a tackle and also managed 4 assists last season from a defensive position. He sounds very sensible in his interview as well, Potential leader on the pitch which I think we were lacking. On a sidenote, does anyone else think the 8am announcement is strange? Should we expect more news today, as the club generally announce new signings in the evening. I believe last summer we announced Rowe, Szmodics and Bentley in the same day?

Davefevs Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 1 hour ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: Not sure we’ve got too many in midfield. Play any three of Williams, Nagy, Walsh, Morrell, Massengo, with the other two on the bench. Looks about right to me. Williams is as much a replacement for Josh Brownhill as Korey Smith. We were light on midfielders last season. Yep gonna have to mix and match those 3 midfield positions. As others have said in other threads it’s possible we could play Paterson, Szmodics or Palmer off of Wells (especially if Diedhiou goes). 1 hour ago, Eddie Notgetinya said: Finally, after 4 years, we bring some physicality in to the centre of the park Yep, first Holden signing....and he’s already tried to solve that issue. No disrespect to Korey, but on paper this is a real upgrade. Nice to see us beating off rumoured opposition from “bigger” clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to separate the true CMs and DMs from the attacking central mids that can also play out wide or as a no 10. If we're to persist with a 3-5-2 then we absolutely need to have Williams, Massengo, Morrell, Nagy and Walsh as our 5 CM/DMs throughout the campaign. So easy for one of those to pick up an injury early doors and then we're down to 4 straight away. Palmer, Szmodics, Pato & Weimann are competing for those roles further up the field so shouldn't relate to the 5 I just mentioned. Szmodics & Weimann and Pato can all play as a 10. Fully expect Morton and Bakinson to go out on loan, and maybe even Szmodics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ashton says our first signing of the summer, hopefully this means we ain’t finished yet. Well if someone uses the phrase first signing then you would naturally assume it wasn't the last.
