Also, it should open the eyes of other players, that Everton are a big club??

Grealish Signs For Everton On Loan

Now let's be seeing exactly which Jack Grealish (of the many apparently witnessed) we will be getting... starting on Monday.

And yes, David Moyes — that means he needs to be starting the game on Monday. No more of this "not ready for the Premier League" bullshit you keep coming out with.

Let's hope we play attacking football, that's suits you.
UTFT.

The 7 comments so far aren't too bad. 😂

He looks slim and fit, all we need is for him to stay injury free.

A couple more class players and we will be really competitive.

The Moyesiah has done it again.

Short while ago I drove past his old stomping ground. Not a patch on Hiill Dickensen. Wait until he plays there.

Good luck, Jack.

Whatever the pros and cons the new owners are clearly working hard on the rebuild - and we’re not rummaging around in the bargain bin either.

Obviously raises the question of what happens after 12 months - not sure the option to buy price is disclosed yet? Does anyone know?

I don't think it's such an obviously good deal as KDH or even at a much humbler level, Charley Alcaraz, but I'm sure like everybody, I wish him well and hope the very best version of Grealish shows up. That, we could use...

Some more quality pls before the window closes

Let him have a free-role and he'll murder teams.

Lovely news

I’m with Mark 21 on this: I don’t think the previous thread was as bad as some made it out to be. Many of us had (have?) reservations about this, and with good reason. Doesn’t mean we don’t all want to see him succeed. Enough of this nonsense about hoping he fails so we can say, I told you so.

He is a cracking success means the club is top half means he makes the WC squad means he says he wants only to stay in Everton blue the following season and Man City lets him go for £25 million.

Taking the 18 shirt and talking about it is a statement. Jack doesn't strike me as a bullshitter. Get yer saggy socks on, let's go!

And the Leicester columnist Thomas Bradley Alderman is acidic about Justin, whom I have never seen do anything worth noting against us. I'm very surprised to see the rumors that we're in for him.

Durham is a well known Everton hater so I don’t respect his opinions but he pisses me off every time he opens his big, smelly trap.

I only mention Justin as he was considered to be a rising star a few seasons ago.

He will enjoy it here, weights lifted off his shoulders, he's got a fresh start, he had to win over pep, and city fans because of his fee. He's not got that weighing him down.

He will love playing In a full stadium too !

I have to give credit to the board and manager. Not just for this, but we've done good business so far and conducted it professionally until there is an announcement to make. There has been and probably still is work going on in the background to secure additional players.

We don't get to see it, nor should we.

Jack is an Everton player for a season, so let's hope he is ready for it. He has the ability to become a fans favourite.

Why am I not overly thrilled about this signing? Why am I cautious? I'm not sure about this one.

Get your positive American pants on and start singing.

This is great news!

"We're all looking forward to working with him and providing a platform for him to show the best version of himself."

Instantly becomes our best player.

Absolutely buzzing.

Yippee-kai-aye MFer!

😂

Can’t wait to see you tear the arse out of Leeds on Monday, no pressure like!

Show the form that we all know you are capable and you will find out just how good our support really is.

UTFT Jack lad!

Be prepared Jack. The beady-eyed fashion police on TW will be keeping a close eye on you😉

There are circa 50,000 season ticket holders. That’s only £100 each.

Just a thought…

Mind you, I don’t really care. So looking forward to Leeds now with him and KDH plus Ndiaye.

I'd rather walk alone?? 😜

I think this will be a good signing. There's just a part of me that thinks Jack might have been out of favor too long at MC, and we're picking up the crumbs of a once great player who might be past it?

Eto. The broken and always injured James. I'm scarred.

That's a recipe for serious danger for any opponent. That is indeed salivating.

Everybody at work (in London no less) has mentioned this signing to me today and every single person is envious that we’ve got him. He’s going to draw in bigger TV audiences single handed ku and raise our profile, let’s hope he gets bums off seats in the stadium and gives us all something to cheer about.

He’s done his homework too, with the No 18 shirt, woo hoo!

I’ve forgot what it’s like going to the game excited to watch players who have got individual talent, so hopefully we can bring in a few more🤞

The alternate point of view that I’ve (sort of) come around to is that Man City shackled him and he lost some of the zest he had, the freedom to roam and be creative, the flair he’ll find again with us!

I don't think I'm usually a "measured response" kind of guy. This signing is making me more measured.

Do be very clear, I do think it's a very good signing. I'm just cautious.

How many dawns? How many rays of hope?

And we know hope springs eternal. We also know it's the hope that kills you.

I'm looking forward to Monday. I'm hoping this kid cuts in and hits an absolute piss-missle in the upper corner, and I get to see BMD certifiably lose its shit.

My Chelsea fan colleagues are annoyed that they let KDH go, think we’ve got a good one.

Sort the right flank out and we have a team!

I prefer some derivative of ‘Jack Attack’.

It’s just not normal and therefore completely logical, to feel a little bit cautious when so many Toffees, sound like they’re full of excitement🤷‍♂️

Moshiri’s, old calculator, is a classic Scott, because not many people get to write off debts of over £400 million, and yet see their overall wealth improve.

He must be a brilliant accountant on the sly, that Mr Moshiri🤦‍♂️

‘ While Everton started the summer by bringing in youngsters such as 22-year-old Thierno Barry and Adam Aznou, 19, Moyes wanted to add more Premier League experience as well as a marquee signing to excite the supporters. He was backed in that pursuit by the owners and CEO Kinnear’

My honest opinion is that Moyes suffers from that. My view is that some of the football played towards the end of his first tenure was entertaining and skillful. But the first few years were dour, defensive KITAP1 and it took us from perennial relegation dogfight to hitting the glass ceiling of top 4.

He was always a decent striker away from breaking that glass ceiling. Beattie, Johnson, Jo, Beckford, Jelavic (were not good enough), Saha (too old), Yakubu (injured after 18 months). As proved when Phenomenal Roberto got Lukaku that was the missing piece. Sadly Phenomenal Roberto then threw away the defence Moyes had build and it has been downhill ever since - with the odd false hope.

I was working on Lord Street in the City Centre and I went down to St John’s Market to get the ‘Danka’ shirt with his name on the back. I’m not a small lad but the 11 letters barely fitted across my shoulders and I remember fretting about whether the guy had spelled it correctly. He wearily reassured me that he’d done hundreds already and was seeing them in his sleep!

It’s nice that, now in my 50s, I can feel that same sense of anticipation. I expect to see ‘Grealish’ on at least as many shirts as Kanchelskis adorned back then.

Don’t let us down, Jack (Attack)…

The "fashion" I've seen over the years from Evertonians is the proverbial "Q-Tip" haircut. Very trendy (not...).

Freaking DCL looked like a model, and he was built like a Greek god. Anyone bashing his sense of fashion I'd wager has a fairly large belly and the aforementioned Q-tip cut.

I'm currently running a man-bun. I really need to get over there with my shorts, Florida footwear, hair pulled up in a top knot, and just walk the streets.

The only downside to Liverpool I've gathered over the years is the fashion. It doesn't exist.

I hope Jack grows it out, rocks the headband, and owns it. Just let it go, Jack, let it go.

Having said that, I don’t think Moyes will allow him to just do what he wants either! Somewhere in the middle is the ideal. An element of “free rein” is essential to get the best out of Grealish.

Will we bid fair well or bid farewell?

They all seem to have a lot of sympathy for him as well, given the way he was played in the Pep system which he quite obviously suffered in.
