    to be fair i watched his training and he hit amazing shots scored all of them except the last one and he looked absolutely raging with himself for not making it unsaveable. looks a top professional.

    Don't know why but he's became my new favourite player. Looks cool.

    Might change after 10 mins on that killie plastic pitch mind :56: welcome to scotland.

    I think he might surprise us. Whether in a good way or a bad way remains to be seen. I've got a sneaky feeling he might just turn it on for us and has one season cult hero written all over him. The low expectation level might really help him.

    I think the price they * paid is very very high but that young lad is 21 years old, clearly moved to a top league far too early in his career and has barely kicked a baw. He was very highly rated at Sporting before he moved to Everton. They've invested in a young striker who showed early signs of promise while we signed a 30 year old has been who's really done nothing his whole career.

    Agree, reckon it's going one way or the other.

    Kelechi is 28 and he hasn’t done nothing, why are you making * up, he amhas done more in his early career than hero chermiti. Unless you aren't talking about Kelechi?

    Edit, chermiti doesn't even have an honours section on wiki

    Unless he's only got one leg, I dob't think he'll surprise us in a bad way.

    He'll either be * as expected, or surprisingly good.

    I think it'll be the latter.

    I don't think he was highly rated at Sporting tbh, I remember the majority of Sporting fans at the time of the move (as it was deemed a bit of a strange transfer for Everton at the time) said he was still very raw and needed another 2 or 3 seasons there before moving.

    That's not me defending us scrambling for Iheanacho, which will remain a shambles even if he comes good, but that signing for the huns reeks of Thelwill doing his old club a favour.

    There’s something fishy about that signing, I think that lad they’ve brought in from Everton is doing the team he supports a turn because he was the one that brought him to Everton in the first place. From about half a dozen good sources the guy is a total dud that couldn’t hit a coos * with a banjo.
