Everton starts a pretty strong team as well.

no aynsley???is he on his way out

Could be our best 11. Extremely weak bench.

Fixed it for you

No. Only started 13 games that season. He started 37 last season when they finished 21st.

Hard to say just going off last weekend’s game in blistering heat. He’d not very big or physical however he can sprint ok and he’s a willing runner but I suspect he isn’t the trickiest player on the planet.

Ismael has named our probably strongest side: Toth Brittain Hyam Wharton Ribeiro Travis (C) Tronstad Hedges Cantwell De Neve Ohashi

Wasn't he a starting cb when hull finished 3 points outside the playoffs? Thought Rosenior had them playing good footie that season too

Wish they'd stop making the new guys pose with a bunch of red roses, looks a little porno-pervy to me. Louche even. Maybe better to portray them with rabid aggression with veins and flesh hanging from their teeth. But what do I know.

No disrespect to him but its a downgrade on Batth for me. One plus is he managed 36 games last season and looks to have a pretty clean injury history, which we definitely need....

the top six to venkys is akin to a gammon steak in a mosque

Decent squad signing. I suspect he will be a level above Dion Sanderson, but not sure he’s first choice if top 6 is your aim.

is this the end of the "significent" investment!!!!!!!!!!think we definately need another c/f and a midfielder

Not at the Rovers.

It was probably originally a 3 or 4 years (with an option) and a higher wage, and then once he had arrived here & done his medical, they changed the offer and did a deal, lower wage, but shorter contract, same as what happened with Kargbo

This is my gripe (on another thread, “does the club care?”)… Go to EvertonFC.com, they have a wonderful gameday blog. Complete with pics of Ewood & commentary. So, I will have to follow our club, at Ewood, on Everton’s blog?!? 🤣😂

I agree, but Venky's are always behind the curve when it comes to Football. Probably still seething from Best, Murphy and Etuhu.

30 is nothing in the modern game,physio and modern methods of recovery are a lot bettern than in the past,when the recovery process was a pint or 5 in the players lounge,im`e surprised he signed at all tbh,the lad must have been desperate to get away from hull

Still no news about yearly pass?

Shows we need two(as a bare minimum)extra central defenders as Carter & Wharton are always injured or unavailable. Lets hope McLoughlin takes one of the slots. What happens if Hyam gets injured or sent-off?(Sent-off somewhat unlikely I know!!) He is rather a unique players for Rovers in completing so many games!

Still no reply… from either email address. I guess I will have to follow the game on Everton’s game centre.

He'll be 30 by the time that 2 years is done. The club only offer 1 year contracts to players over 30 (hence the 1 year option), I'm sure I read that somewhere.
