Can't seem to find out about how he plays i.e. back to goal, ball in the air, ball played through or about his ball control and shooting abilities.

I wonder if Everton have pulled a bargain out of the fire and, if they have, was any other team looking at him as well ??

All very much under the radar, it would seem.

He's a tricky, ambidextrous winger/attacking midfielder. Smart player for his age, very good on the ball, good passer, but also physically quite robust.
Made his debut for Hajduk Split as a 16 year old and practically went into the starting lineup straight away. His sister is world champion high jumper Blanka Vlašić, his father is a former decathlete who coached both of them from a very young age.

Everton wrapped this one up quickly after he impressed in the Europa League qualification tie between the two clubs and he said that they contacted him after the second leg. He was the stand-out Hajduk player in both games along with Gambian midfielder Hamza Barry.

I am a bit surprised that he received a work permit, as he has only one cap for the senior national team. I think he'll need some time to transition from a very poor league to the fast pace in the Prem. He seems like a grounded and hardworking kid, so I'm positive he'll make it eventually.

Tim Krul signs for Brighton from Newcastle. Odd one that for Newcastle

Bony gone 12m

Thanks chum for that.

The Europa context explains it all and it'll be interesting to see how he fares in the PL.

Thanks again.

Spuds sign Llorente.

Yep.

Swansea resign Bony. Crack open the bubbly

Chelsea sign Zappacosta from Torino for £23m. A decent left back by all accounts

He's been out of the picture for a season and a bit now, not sure why - seem to prefer Rob Eliot but always thought Krul a decent keeper

I wonder how much he would have cost if we had come calling ??

I would have thought Joe would have mentioned him to Pep as a potential purchase..........but then perhaps not.

dazby's matt ryan didn't last long

Mat Ryan was horrible against Japan last night too.

Didn't PSG spend 300 mill on Neymar? The maths doesn't seem right.

Palace sign Mamadou Sakho from Liverpool for 26M

Chelsea sign Danny Drinkwater for 35M

222M, which is what his release clause was. then 16M on a left back. thats it.
our Net spend was less (~148 to their 176)

right back I think, otherwise we might have been in the mix for him.

Fenerbache sign Vincent Janssen on loan from Spurs
