Come on son, that's not how forums work. No-one has actually ever seen him play or has any clue what his strengths are.

I forget that Garnacho was still a teenager last season. It’s mad how critical many of us (including myself) were of him at times last season.
Guy looks 18 and 47 at the same time, so he's learning his trade whilst looking vastly experience - both mastering the ability to learn from the experienced players but also teaching a lot of the players
now that's world class i reckon

Incredible. Surprised he managed to type this out with Branthwaite's member hanging out the back of him.
This is how you respond to a setback as a fan of a big club.
I really want us to go back in for Branthwaite again with a £45,000,001 bid.
he’s two steps ahead of the game and put it in his mouth whilst he was typing.

Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, Jim, feck 'em up

Why you meltdown like a bitch? Ain't you tired?
Boom and Bust, you a Benefit Signerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
They not like us, they not like us, they not like us

Worth noting that (as per The Athletic at least) one of the issues that arose in Wilcox's conversations with ETH was that young players like Garnacho and Mainoo were being overplayed.
If we accept that's the case and there will be a desire to ease the burden on them somewhat this season, I would similarly expect someone like Yoro to rotate in and out of the team at his age.
A man of culture, I see.
What’s his progressive passes like? Can he break the lines?
That is an insult to both Everton and Brantwaith.
Taking a break from the Caf tbh. I can't be arsed anymore
wow did not expect a here we go so soon…
Well done.
INEOS slowly bringing back the feel good factor to the club.

Cut the wifi and put mobile jammers outside his hotel tonight...
Especially after he was bouncing off Haaland like a schoolboy then little ol' Licha handled Haaland's physicality perfectly fine some weeks later.
This transfer has ruffled a lot of feathers. 
That's a shame. I am a big fan of your posts
That’s a pretty good endorsement then
Great signing but we need to get another centre-back in, we are one injury away from having Evans or Lindelof back starting for us and that shouldn't be an option.
If we Yoro and De Ligt in we have done some serious business

70m feels like a lot for a player in the last year of his contract.
Looking forward to watching him though. I’ve heard but hype about this kid the last 6 months or so.

My exact thoughts.
Don’t worry - Mendes will have his phone turned off tonight. He’ll be taking his pound of flesh tomorrow and then he’ll start plotting towards the next big move in a few years time.
It’s our job in the meantime to welcome Yoro in with open arms and provide him a platform from which to achieve his ambitions.
It was actually 90m mate.
To be honest, I respect that particular action.
I’m just going by what the thread title says. I haven’t followed the transfer saga.
This transfer has ruffled a lot of feathers.
All of Twitter is falling over itself trying to justify why he's just a "kid" or some datapoint or the other is not good.
It's 50M EUR base, 12M EUR add-ons. Even if the last 8m exists in add-ons (questionable), they'll be extremely hard to achieve ones.
So just stick with 62M EUR or 52M GBP. We paid more for Mount for context. I'm curious to see the wage numbers but I won't be surprised if all-in it's less than De Ligt.
It's 52m
My bad, just took the thread title at face value, though realising now it says ‘rising to’
It’s more like £42m plus some add-ons. Nowhere near 70m
Can also tell you he's better than Mosquera who is 1st on the list from watching Valencia. Gasriowski only played a couple of games for them but in the 3 or so matches he played he looked like he might be better as well
The last year of the contract wasn’t relevant to anyone but Madrid.
The threat of leaving for nothing is what effects selling price as a contract runs down. If he was going to leave for nothing it was going to be to Madrid and if we were trying to buy him from Madrid this time next year, we wouldn’t have a hope and even if we did, it would be for a lot more money than this.
We needed to offer a price that Lille would accept, and Madrid would refuse to match. We did and it’s worked - whether that play pays off will only become clear in time.
That’s not too bad then. I’d certainly prefer Yoro over paying whatever a Everton were asking for Branthwaite. Is that deal now dead then?
Doing ourselves dirty with that thread title. It’s like Luckhurst wrote it.
That Everton journalist would be the first one talking down Branthwaite and claiming we overpaid if we had increased our bid and done the deal.
"Everton did well to get £60m for their second-best CB, with only one season of Premier League football under his belt, and who was left out of England's Euro 2024 squad entirely in favour of Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi and Lewis Dunk"
It's laughable really and if he's that good, they needn't worry, because apparently Real Madrid are about to be in the market for a CB

You’d imagine they must have met each other at Carrington today. It’s too random that of all the players he could have followed this evening, Wheatley was the guy.
That makes sense. In the end the price of a player matters less if the player is actually good and performs well for the team. But yeah, what you say makes sense, especially the final paragraph.
Believe half of what you hear and none of what you read. Especially if it's on the caf.
