Arnaut Danjuma

Probably one of those signings that we had to move on as he was available. He seems adept at finishing. Fast. And able to carry the ball well. So you can see why we moved for him now. If a loan to buy, then we won't have used up all the cash presumably.

I was moaning about the lack of strategy on another thread but was told all was in hand and that we are mid way through a project….amazing that we nearly let him join Everton if he was part of the long term strategy!

What if the strategy is now to manage the transition from Conte to Poch over the coming 5 months? So loaning a player to cover for Moura is much more strategic than blowing precious funds on Conte formation players like Zaniolo and Porro.

I was told it was a strategy for Conte. 3 days ago. That’s some flip.

Anyway - additional note. He didn’t make the World Cup squad whereas Bergwijn did.
 
Heard on some podcast that he was really good last season under Emery. Change of manager has seen him in a different role, less productive. Linked to bigger clubs than Everton before this rather disappointing season.

If the club has correctly identified that he suits our system he could be rather useful. But I don't know enough about him to have an informed opinion.

I thought we needed some quality at the back! yes we allways need players for cover for injuries etc but another forward..well OK then but what about our ongoing brain farts....you cant win games by leaking goals in the defence!

A loan move, how does that stop us getting a defender? You can't win games if you don't score!

What if it isn't? You really need to see someone about your obsession with Poch, it's not healthy.

Impossible to know, but a cheaper loan attacking option could be because we're prioritising money in other areas.

Seems to be quite a lot of negativity around this (potential) signing. After the "Juve rejects" and "why would we be interested in Amrabat" reactions perhaps a bit more faith in Paratici and Conte is warranted?

That's so far fetched its beyond ridiculous

The idea that we're going to sign players that the next manager wants, with a plan to sack the current one in 5 months is laughable

I think this signing is somewhat opportunistic but that we needed another attacker, he fits the bill in terms of type, played in PL before, good stats for the last couple years, loan-to-buy so risk is low, and he's probably going to be happy being our 5th choice attacker

Being our 5th choice seems a lot better than being first choice for Everton.

Some like to moan no matter what is done...

We're not necessarily sacking him. But his employment with the club ends in June. So like with Moura (who leaves on the same day), we've got to make plans for beyond that
 
No-risk, cheapo bargain bin loan to replace Lucas.

Utterly unenthused by it, but equally, hard to get too upset about it. It's a nothing signing with some potential upside and no downside unless he's some dressing room disaster.

Feel sorry for Everton though - never nice to get gazumped like that, and Willian still stings on our end.
