David Moyes approves Kyle Walker as “ideal target” for Everton

He's good for diving and getting women pregnant. This won't help us.

Was this an Angus move? Or is Moyes finally done dithering after trying to sign him from Sheffield Utd about 15 years ago?

He's still quick, and has bags of experience. We need old heads in the team as well as younger ones. That balance is important.

Despite the off-field nonsense with Walker, I've always rated him as a player.

Terrible deal if so. We don't want any more retirement home footballers, however good he once was, he's not that player anymore. Why waste part of what little budget we have on a 35 year old , for fuck's sake?

Surely our new recruitment team should be scouring Europe or the world seeking a young, fast, dynamic right-back with resale value? Walker would be such an uninspired, shit signing.

Man City don't want him and AC Milan have seen enough.

Looks a bad deal to me.

While I feel like it goes against all my good sense, I'm not totally opposed to Walker on a one-year deal. He likely replaces Ashley Young in the aging player who can fill in on the left or right as needed, but also might just end up winning the right-back job outright if he's healthy

Ideally, we still sell Patterson and bring in another right-back but, if the wages are reasonable, I think I'm okay with this (from a footballing standpoint).

I think.

Please say it isn't true.

Walker had a very poor Euros 12 months ago, signalling his time at the very top level was coming to an end. Man City obviously concur with this and hence why he was and is no longer in their plans.

We should be signing a right back that the likes of Man City will want to come and buy from us in 18 months time.

This "list" is one put together by media clickbait sites and journo's merely guessing.

Why do people fall for this at EVERY window and get worked up about it at EVERY window.

But some positions are needed more than others and right back is one of those. We need our new right back.

We also need a new left back although Mykolenko will do until a better player is identified to replace him.

However there is currently no right back and having a stop gap such as Walker who’ll be on massive wages, has had a turbulent personal life and has massively lost form - is not the answer.

We go on about Everton strikers of recent times, but that keeper had an unforgiving and lonely existence at Southampton last season.

Regardless, we need backup in the keeper department.

On other supposed rumoured targets, I can't see us going for Grealish, even on loan. And I don't think he would be a good fit.

It would be similar to Villa taking on Rashford and agreeing to pay 75% of his £300K a week wages.

I’m not impressed with Patterson as a right back, going forward possibly but if this is a short term fix I would look to try and offload Patterson to Rangers and cut our losses, others might still think worth keeping but I,m not too sure about Patterson myself. Love to be proved wrong and eat humble pie.

Romanian captain. Loads of experience. Decent age. Would be a decent price and affordable wages. Fast, strong, competitive and a good player

Walker may be a decent stop gap for a season. Given PSR etc we may have to accept a few signings like this over the next few years. Not ideal for idealists.

Its a player capable of going straight into the 11, and do a good job. He adds a good level at right back and can play back up centre back.

If he stays fit, I think he will be a good 7 to 8 out of 10, and certainly way better than Coleman, Young, Patterson, Tete, Walker Peters, Coufal etc.

A right back is unlikely to win you a game. He's more than capable of doing a better job than an emerging player next season, and that's why it's a 1 year deal.

Mykolenko, Branthwaite, Obrien and Walker isn't a bad back 5, and has pace to play 10-15 yards further up the pitch, and in Walker support the attack.
