It took until 9:30 pm, 2½ hours after the transfer window closed, for Everton to finally announce the loan signing of Tyrique George from Chelsea. 

The move has been expected since those in the know confirmed it was happening on Sunday night but the medical, contract, and all the required paperwork was not completed until well after the Deadline of 7 pm.

After sealing his move to the Toffees, George – who will wear the Number 19 shirt – said "I’m really excited to be here and to enjoy this massive club. I just can’t wait to get started.

"The fans here are exceptional. I know Evertonians are really passionate. They like hard work – and that’s what I’m going to show. I want to be exciting and I want to impress them.

"The gaffer, David Moyes, was another reason [I wanted to join]. He’s an amazing manager who has coached so many players, like Wayne Rooney, and players like that. I've had a brief conversation with him and he's an amazing person as well.

"I just want to enjoy it, learn under him and improve."

Nice interview with George on the club site. Talking about playing with Dibling on the U21s and hoping to help us get into Europe.

Quite a slender lad. Weight room buddy for Barry!

Moyes's next bit of business will be to ship him out on loan.

I will be amazed if the kid starts from the off in the next game.

Welcome and have a good career with the Real Blues.

Anyone else coming in?

Interesting, forward thinking signing. Adds some pace, great for transition/counter attacks too, Young, accompanying the likes of Armstrong, Barry, Dibling and Aznou. Add Rohl. So potentially reduces the average team age! Let's hope he is given the chance to prove himself by Moyes sooner rather than later!

All the required paperwork was not completed until well after the Deadline of 7 pm. Isn't that why McNeil transfer fell through? Somebody enlighten me here please.
