Not looking good this.

Everton club statement: “Everton can confirm it has suspended a first-team player pending a police investigation. The club will continue to support the authorities with their inquiries and will not be making any further statement at this time”

I know that the player should remain anonymous at this time but with the police statement saying that a 31 year old man had been arrested and then Everton releasing a statement saying a player had been suspended it doesn't take Miss Marple to narrow the list down. I'm assuming that we aren't allowed to name any names on here but there's a very short list of Everton players who are 31 years old.

3 in total, 1 only signed yesterday, so just the 2 in reality.

Or just go on twitter his name was trending yesterday

One of the names was also trending this morning although some people said that he had played in a friendly on Saturday which would seem unlikely if he'd been arrested on Friday. And having just looked at Twitter the other name is now trending.

The other name is trending yes but the comments seem to be please be him we don't want him to be the golden child (if you pardon the expression)

Asmir Begovic and Andros Townsend have signed for Everton. Benitez bringing in PL experience maybe??‍

Both good signings for us. No. 2 keeper slot is always a tricky job. Begovic is still a solid keeper, will push Pickford, a more than able deputy, but at his age will know his role in the squad.

Townsend for free gives us pace, width and the odd goal. We need all 3 of those.

Good to see we are up and running.

I don't really see the point of this. I guess he'd be back-up to Hugo, maybe Nuno doesn't rate Hart - but we already let Gazzaniga go because we had too many non home-grown players, and your back-up goalie isn't really a good use of a spot. Makes more sense to have an English one.

Let's make sure we keep his name out of the discussions, and remember he's innocent until proven Guilty

Maybe Lloris is on the way out ?

Gollini is only 26 , Lloris 35 ?

It’s also it seems a loan with option so it’s risk free as such

But this guy is a nobody. Would be massively underwhelming.

@Bdill93 is he any good?? Played for Villa in the Championship apparently.

Enough said?


Was awful at villa

However, 3 seasons at Atalanta - could be a totally different player now I suppose.

I don't think Utd have a 31 year old ............................. which is nice.

You won’t win anything with kids!

Whilst I think Newcastle need to be rid of Ashley - are the Saudis the way to go ?

In this day and age they need to be careful about associations with anyone that has questionable views and track record on the treatment of fellow human beings and the rights of the meek.

So the Saudis might just be an improvement...

We just need one footie thread, so the 2022 prem thread has been merged with one ?

 

[Orikoru]

Aside from that goalkeeper, we're being linked with another Atalanta player. But this one was apparently 'defender of the year' in Serie A, his name is Cristian Romero. I've never seen him play, but defender of the year never sounds bad. He was playing for Argentina in the Copa America as well, which they won so that bodes well too.

The police have played a blinder here,why disclose his age?
The other player the same age as been caught up in this unnecessarily.
