I remember the excitement and joy from me and others on here when we got the Fernandez deal done very late on deadline day.

He let us down, the git

He's already done his medical, Enzo never showed that kind of speed.

I just think we need to be slightly realistic here

We've got Caicedo, Barco, Camara, Lavia, James and Henderson to compete for 2 positions. We aren't in Europe.

That true, but James will be injured or resting half the time, same for Lavia, Henderson I don’t think is intended to actually play, Barco I want to be great but I’m not so sure and Caicedo is starting to worry me about his fitness now.

Do we know if he’s actually any good or not?

Well, he’s not Enzo Fernandez, which is good, and he’s not a full back being asked to play in centre midfield, which is also good. And £43m is naff all these days. And even if he’s a Bakayoko, we’ll probably sell him for £55m next summer.

We brought him online from Lastminute.com for £47 million.

He is 5'8" so he will tower over Barco in our midfield.

It'll be a midfield to be reckoned with

Such a colossal upgrade in absolutely every department other than ‘Going live on the team bus’ AND we bank a cool 70M as well to boot.

God is good.

From the Guardian live transfer thingy,

“The 22-year-old from Senegal joined Monaco from Metz in 2024 and has quickly established himself as one of Ligue 1’s most dynamic midfielders.

Comfortable as a No 6 or No 8, he brings energy, ball-winning and progressive passing, while possessing a fierce shot and a reputation for dangerous set-pieces.”

I’m sold!

I've never watched him or Monaco play

But he sounds like the real deal and we are going to win the league.

Everton medical staff with the assist. I don't know much about him other than him looking world class on twitter comps, but seems well rounded and we really needed a midfielder so I'm very happy to have one in, even though I would have liked a big name replacement for Enzo.

Just praying that Trump doesn't intervene and get the failed medical rescinded.

The open top bus is already painted and engine running!

Dont know enough about him to get excited but at least we aren’t going into the season short of midfielders. Actually thinking about it they’re all short.

Hope he’s as good as YouTube says.

@BordeauxBlue vouched for him. That is enough for me.
