Just not true. You admitted earlier in the summer you haven't seen him play much so how on earth would you know if he is or isn't consistent!?

Everton fans would tell you he is quite consistent. And certainly more consistent than Stones was.
With Maguire and Lindelof likely leaving and Evans being old, I think that leaves us with three first team CB's, unless I am missing someone? Getting him in makes sense, both for the now and with an eye to the future
Wonder where he'd most comfortably play in a back three?
He's left footed right?
Complain about lack of money and then target overpriced english players. Makes sense.
Although you'd usually put the big fella in the middle, he's probably better defending the left channel.
Fairly certain it would be the left CB. He's good defending in those wide areas which is required in a back 3.
I mean it was quite well reported we wouldn’t pay what they wanted.
How's he been this season?
Injured, mostly.
Injured. He's only played 2 full games. 2-1 win against Palace and 0-0 vs West Ham. Hard to really judge him due to that.
"Overpriced" depends on the price. We already walked away last summer when it reached a certain price point, so obviously we're not desperate enough to overpay.
But a 22 year old English CB with his quality, physicality and two-footedness should cost quite a bit of money.
Can't dribble. Can't pass. Struggles being turned. Goes to ground too much. Too expensive. Other than that sounds good
Would much rather Inacio for that LB spot since he will know the system and more importantly will be considerably cheaper than £70m.
Bring. BRING.
If there is limited money to spend then it seems a bit daft to spend it on another centre back especially in January!
He only signed a new contract with them last October so saying he's refusing to sign another new one is irrelevant anyway.

Still not a priority at the point especially in the Jan window where I can guarantee we'll need another CM.
Unbeaten, is what I’m hearing.
Can’t fly, can’t fight, can’t crow.
Collectively we look much better with him in the side. Hopefully he is involved in the Brentford game this weekend.99% sure he will stay in Jan but be gone in the summer.
Would prefer Man Utd to replace Maguire with Diomande and wait with Branthwaite.
A) Need to see him stay fit. I also think it would do him good to play more football before signing for Man Utd.
B) We still have Luke Shaw on a contract til 2027. It is cheaper to get rid if we can make use of him one more year.
C) Branthwaite contracts too expire in 2027. Signing him summer of 2026 give us a bit more leverage.
Bored of signing CBs now. We have about 300
We should put a club wide ban on SCP players, anybody Portuguese and and one who has played in that league
Yeah but we can count on at least 298 of them to be injured at any given time.
The urgency is probably because we have projected our future homegrown quota and also are aware of the limited number of options.
This is what we disagree on, I don't see his quality being anywhere near even the bottom end of what we bid for him last summer.
As it stands we'll only have three of our current first team CBs come the summer, in a team that plays three at the back. So expect more CB signings.
Why do you think we will only have 3?As it stands we'll only have three of our current first team CBs come the summer, in a team that plays three at the back. So expect more CB signings.
I bet Lindelof staysAs it stands we'll only have three of our current first team CBs come the summer, in a team that plays three at the back. So expect more CB signings.
Lindelof, Evans and Maguire are all out of contract next summer. We have an option for +1 on Maguires contract but its an expensive contract.
Christ, we really have a hard on for him don’t we.
On a serious note- how has he been this year ?

Did you just not fancy answering this, @Hammondo?
Zirkzee is a foward (supposedly)
Reports saying we'll have to opperate on a smaller budget and immediately after saying we're interested on a british CB for whom Everton asked 80M last summer. You cant make this up.
We urgently need a striker and fullbacks, I don't thik we're going to spend big on CBs specially in january. We have Lisandro/Shaw for the LCB, De Ligt/Maguire for CB and Yoro/Evans/Lindelof for RCB.

Not good enough on the ball. We're supposed to be moving away from signings like this.
Perfect. Sign him up. We can't make him any more injured. Result.
Oh there you are, Peter.
