adelphi1867 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 18 yr old defender from Everton. Should we be doing this deal or should we promote our own home grown talent like Galvin, Brennan, Osaze, Rice , Errat Thompson?. And do we really need yet another Defender?.

trev Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Loan or permanent? Anyways I've heard this lad is the real deal according to my toffee mates. So probably on a different level to the likes of our youth players (Shaw is not included as he is a midfielder and the next Gerrard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew6666 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I would sign him, but the new manager may not want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch McLovin Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hes a good player. But with lack of funds and the fact we have about 7 center halves on the books and plenty of youngsters that can play there Id be concentrating on elsewhere.

Guest wilyfox Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 If he has an offer from a better run club higher up the league, as Blackburn are, he’ll go there whilst DC fumbles about yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lees is our only fully fit centre-half. Can’t categorically say we don’t need another with all that going on. Not saying should be priority, but clearly club feel there is a need.

Mike Hunt Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Turning down a 18 year old talent because we are already covered in that position is really backwards thinking to say that most of our players are out of contract in a few months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 It depends on whether Everton will let us have him for free and whether they pay his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) With Iorfa ruled out, and Flint having gone back to Cardiff, we are two down. However, with Dunkley, Lees, VanAken, Borner, Urhoghide, Shaw, Brennan and Rice, we aren’t exactly short of centre backs. There is an argument that there are fitness concerns regarding some of the experienced options, leaving us only with the inexperienced youngsters. But that’s what this guy is, 15 appearances, most of them for Carlisle. Were it a permanent signing, then maybe, but it doesn’t really address our need for an experienced centre back.

83owl Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Dont need a CB on loan, if its a transfer he will go to a club that can afford a transfer fee and pay their players. Also one which has a record of playing/bringing through young players and not over the hill has beens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t say that in the OP if that’s the case not much point unless Iorfa, Borner and Dunkerly are long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Joao's Tooth Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Iorfa - done for season Flint - has gone back Dunkley - has had a massive injury and we still need to be careful and monitor him Joostless Van Aken - simply isn't good enough Borner - out injured still Lees - available Shaw - Not a CB and has made several mistakes rather see him playing his more natural role. We're not really in a position to be trying to develop our youngsters especially at CB we are in a dogfight at the bottom of the league lets not throw the youngsters under the bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
