With their FFP situation, im surprised they could afford a bag of crisps. Yep. We’ll just give him a bigger signing on fee. No way Everton can compete with us financially. Geography may play a part though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geography may play a part though. If he’s after 100k per week and a five year contract, you’d imagine the sign-on bonus to be of the smaller kind.

My main concern is his ability to play out from the back. I don’t doubt he’s good defensively. He was the best ball playing CB in the Championship at Brentford and it shocked everyone when he went to Burnley because of the style of football difference. He's a very good ball playing defender, he just hasn't utilized that side of his game over the past few years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Experience and the ability to read the game in that position far outweighs energy/mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is rated no better or worse than Mings....but he has a quality CDM and 2 fine full backs to do the passing....its the stopping we want, first and foremost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post carlitobrigante Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 Brilliant defender. Hard to find a Burnley fan who has a bad word to say about him even in a relegation season. Really surprised some people are turning their noses up at him even on a free transfer, hunch is he will end up at Everton though 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When playing out from the back and playing through press every player must be reliable, move and make themselves available, it doesn’t work otherwise.

Does it work for Mings, who has a similar passing stat? He has a passing stat, one point less than Matip......is he reliable?

Tarkowski can be fine too, just harder to judge in that respect after being at Burnley who don’t play that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
