So Chermiti apparently won't be playing on any plastic pitches this season in a league where a quarter of the teams play on plastic pitches.
Makes the £8-10 million fee seem even more bizarre.

McCoist was basically hinting towards it.
This deal stinks.

IMO, Shankland would have been the better option.
We've paid an awful amount for a prospect.

This deal should be questioned by the people above now thinking Igmane was forced out the door by anyway they could to get this crazy amount off money spent £8m-£10m just my opinion but I seriously think from former Everton chief. think you'll find someone has just got a backhander for forcing thst deal through.

Kevin Kyle Would have been better Mark.

Dessers would've been a better option!

Supposed to buy low and sell high not forking out close to 10mil for Chermiti. Should have invested that into rebuilding the backline and kept Dessers.

Shankland would have been a great signing, on a free aswell.

I hear lots of positive things about Chermiti - so hopefully he settles.
Still blows my mind that we could spend up to £10m on him though.

Why attack the boy because we overpaid for him, that's our clubs fault not his. Everton paid a lot more than we did so there must be a player there so we should maybe wait and see what happens when he has some games under his belt.
Maybe Dessers would have been better but he wanted to leave and Igamane would have been better but I believe he has been unhappy after Clement left and was unhappy at his treatment by Ferguson and Martin but he's gone and that's not Chermitis fault either.
As for Kevin Kyle, jeezo.

Dont think you can judge any of the players at the moment playing under Martin in our current tactics. ill judge him in a team that creates actual chances.

EHL Chermitti came through the Sporting Lisbon youth acadmemy promoted through every level until the main squad in 2023, he was valued at 3 mill when Everton went OTT and payed 12.5 mill for him.
also he has played for POrtugal at every Level from the under 15s to the under 21's, didn't work out for him at Everton, but there is a talented player there Somewhere, but will he show up for us in the question?
Only 1 game in with us, until martin goes can;t see him realising his potential as martins systems starves the strikers of chances to score, be the same for miovski and Danilo, low goals to games ratio until rusty the clown joins a different circus.
we could play all 3 up front and still get beat lol.

Martins system restricts freedon to shine and show true potential, see Gassama when he first came scoring stunning goals, now martins system is in effect he is struggling, same with Antman came in hot for goals, now floundering.
All on Martin, not the players they are being held back with his back to front system.
The teams there we need a manager with good tactics, that will encourage players to go for broke and show their true qualities and talents, until Martins gone expect to see glimpses or none of it and the rot to continue.
we could have taken Genk and won i feel, if Martin just had the tactical sense to see a formation change could have swung it for us afer dio was red carded.
3-4-2.
LCB - Cornelius.
CB - Djigga.
RCB - Souttar.
LWB - Meghoma.
LCM - Raskin.
RCM - Aasgard.
RWB - Tavernier.
LCF - Miovski.
RCF - Danilo.
Essentially a 3-5-2 (except with dio missing)
Key Characteristics
Three Center-Backs: Provides a solid defensive spine and protection against counter-attacks.
Five Midfielders: Can be organized as a flat five or a midfield diamond, providing midfield control and acting as a solid defensive block.
Two Wing-Backs: Crucial for providing width and supporting the attack while also being responsible for defending the flanks.
Two Strikers: Creates an overload in the attacking third and provides a strong partnership up front.
In Possession (Attacking)
Midfield Control: Three central midfielders can control the middle of the park, creating passing options between the lines and drawing defenders out.
Wing-Back Overlap: Wing-backs can push high to provide width, cross, and support the two strikers, stretching the opposition.
Creating Space: The movement of the three central players can create space and force defenders to make difficult decisions, allowing attackers to become free or find gaps.
Out of Possession (Defending)
Defensive Solidity: The back three provides a solid base, while the midfielders offer additional support.
Counter-Attack Prevention: The positioning of midfielders and the quick transition of wing-backs can minimize vulnerability to counter-attacks.
Forcing Play Wide: The formation can be used to force the opposition to play wide, where the wing-backs can press or cover the flanks.
The only manager we have had that had that kind of tactical sense was Beale, how many times were we losing games at halftime, only for him to identify the opposing teams weaknesses, change the team shape for the second half and take the win, hence him having the highest rate of wins to losses than any manager since coming back up at 72 %.

Stevie, I think will continue to eat humble pie until rusty the clown and his circus leave town, we will see the teams full potential when the new manager comes in.
