Could be something in this as I was told from somebody inside Everton that we had been trying to sign Mason Holgate before his injury and we were pushing hard to get him. Kounde is a similar profile so maybe we are looking at younger options for cb rather than the older leader type most of us think we need.
Do we have any "experienced" CBs lined up who aren't train wrecks/ red cards waiting to happen, sick notes or being held hostage by deranged club owners?Looks the part when i’ve seen him play for Seville, my only worry is he’s still a kid at 21 and centre halves usually at their best mid to late 20’s so hasn’t really got the experience, does look a quality centre half though.
Not sure what the injury is to be honest was also told he wasn’t too keen on leaving Everton.Holgate’s only got a superficial, few week injury hasn’t he? Regardless, I’m a fan and hope we do get him at some point.
Laporte was 23 when he signed in fairness.We haven had the best of luck with young centre backs in semi recent years. Boateng, Savic, Nastasic, Garcia seemingly offski....
It would be nice to have a bit of success and create long term stability at the back.
