When you think you see everything you see Everton fans and media being mad we didnt buy Branthwaite and instead are buying Yoro.
Is his first name pronounced like Lenny or is it pronounced with a nasal vowel?
I find it amusing that @JPRouve said this:
who's right?
but then the Pythagoras in Boots channel indicates he:

Thing is he’s 19 years old. He has a lot to learn still, needs game time to iron out a lot of his game (1 v 1, heading, progressive passes, decision making as to when to run with ball, long passing). Even if his foundations are good, which they are… a huge injury to him right now would massively hamper his development as his overall game isn’t refined enough at this moment in time to be a sub par physical defender and still be champions league class IMO.
Can he become a complete defender long term who eventually can do it after the legs have gone - yes but right now he is dependent on that athleticism right now and I’d say that goes for majority of young CBs.
Also worth noting that Varane and Rio were half the defenders after their physical side disappeared and those two were considered astute readers of the game.
Why are you so invested in this?I find it amusing that @JPRouve said this:

Happy announcement day lads! 
Sorry for being a fan of football and being interested in top talents that are entering the league that I follow and watch.
Haven't come across the term myself but surely you're overreacting here?
New slangs emerge all the time, and it's anyone's prerogative to use as they see fit as long as they're not being offensive.
Luckhurst getting community noted on this post, the complete helmet. You love to see it.
Not surprising by Locust really
Excellent news, these are the players United must sign to get back where we belong

There isn't any contradiction?
So hopefully we’ve got a good installment plan on the transfer fee, similar like with Zirkzee so the effects on PSR are significantly reduced by the payment spread.
With Mason, Donny and Wily leaving we still need to generate more sales though in order to do more business.

Perhaps it's the way it reads in my head but a complete defender with above average athleticism doesn't sound like a player that relies on the athleticism.
And it's anyone's prerogative to tell them they sound like a youtuber when they say it.
Still, he made the team of the year in Ligue 1. That in a league that is known for its physicality.
But sure, he has a lot to learn experience wise and he can still grow both as a player but also as a human being in terms of leadership and football knowledge.
Luckhurst's information does tally with what Ornstein reported this time, to be fair. €62m/£52m rising to €70m/£58m.Not surprising by Locust really
Not sure where the figures in the thread title have come from.
The way I see it is that Luckhurst can feck off.
Precisely what I was thinking. By the time its 5 years, Madrid would have a logjam at CB and it would be impractical to keep spunking money. This was the opportunity for Yoro to go to Madrid if he wanted. We won't let him off easy in 5 years. I anticipate we will try to lock him up by year 3 if he turns out to be as good or better than advertised.
The part that you quoted from the video, is @Raees worst case scenario prediction, the best case scenario being Varane 2.0. While I was talking about what he is today as an 18 years old.
I'd assume that prediction is a reflection of them today as an 18 year old too but apologies if I have misinterpreted either.
Would be good to know what swayed him in the end.
That Echo article has gotta be written as some kinda office in joke, surely? Like someone quipped to him that his previous articles sounded a bit too in to Branthwaite so he decided it would be very funny to write the next one as if he had fallen hopelessly in love with him.
@SilentWitness Do you read the Echo's football stuff much? Has it got a tendency to be a bit fecking weird?

I don't really read it because it's viewed in the same way that Luckhurst and MEN is by all of you, shit stirring and rubbish. I tend to just listen to the various podcasts/fan channels we have and the Athletic (Paddy Boyland), Paul Joyce and Bobble.
My favourite part of the above article:
"As well as being assured on the ball, man mountain Branthwaite is not only an incredible physical specimen who looks like he could overhead press the willowy Yoro..."
Has to be satire. HAS to be.
He also said in his video that he is excellent at reading the game. There's a contradiction there, because if he's excellent at reading the game then he's obviously not reliant upon athleticism.
See, I could be persuaded to start reading Luckhurst if he was as much fun as this bloke.
The fact we made a bid? Lille actually getting a fee?
No doubt, it's very unhinged.I'd assume that prediction is a reflection of them today as an 18 year old too but apologies if I have misinterpreted either.
One of Raees point in the video was whether his development would lean on his technical abilities and attributes that make him a complete prospect or whether it would be coached out of him due to the early mistakes that comes with that kind of style. That's why he describes two potential outcomes, you only quoted the worst one.
A couple of years ago we would have scouted Yoro and “enquired” before he goes to Madrid and we pay 70M for a 30 YO on a 4+1 year contract
Sounds like his entourage will get a lot of money from the deal. Think that was a contributing factor
What’s the reaction to this in France?
I don't know, I haven't followed transfer related news.
Ineos are the best thing that has happened to this club since Sir Alex
Title adjusted. Got to counteract the inflated fees people love to spout.
