Seems an awful lot for potential, in that posiiton. Might turn into an amazing keeper but I'm glad we bought Trafford than gambled £30M+ on an 18 year old.
Nobody happier than me we purchased Trafford, the fee we paid may look cheap in a few seasons.
The kid Liverpool have signed is supposed to be the real deal, time will tell, but I doubt all the top people are wrong about his potential.
Don’t cry because you said goodbye to your pet, smile because you said hello

Yeah not saying the kid doesn't have potential but at 18 there is a lot that can go wrong and stop him living up to that potential. WOuldn't be the first 18 year old with bags of potential that disappears into oblivion.

I've pretended to support a team that's been crap for most of my life as part of a long term plan

Did you post them because there's something wrong with your brain
Hhhhm smack of them cashing in by selling players and then pretending that they are trying to sign someone when really they have no intention of doing so. Smacks of when they pretended they were trying to sign Gnonto for a big fee a couple of years back. Looked good for both clubs - Everton fooled their fans into thinking they were really trying to buy someone and we fooled our fans by pretending we knocked backa genuine bid. Angus Kinnear strikes again.

What exactly does "not fit" mean? That he has a slight amount of muscle fatigue that will clear up in a couple of weeks? Or that he actually has a serious problem? The player and his camp are saying he's fine. You might be on to something...

It's certainly a convenient way to not go through with a transfer deal.
Remember us with Cuisance and the mysterious injury - we then signed Raphinha a couple of days later. He may have failed the medical but equally we may have not liked his attitude and decided against the deal or we heard that Raphinha was available and wanted him instead.
Everton have sold a lot of players. So to placate the fans a big signing is needed. So make a big bid, make it look like you are trying and you then have your excuses all lined up - player failed the medical and there was no time left to sign anyone else.
