Not worried in the slightest that he went back to Everton

Too inconsistent and a bit too 'nice' to make a good cb in the championship

Nothing against the lad. I'm glad he's got some security for himself and his family. He will be out on loan again next season no doubt, but i agree with the majority in here, i hope its not back to us. In another battle hardened 5 years of football he may turn out to be a good defender. He's behind Cooper imo, and we need a step up in class from Cooper.

Agreed, I am not into all this loan stuff for a year then sign them permanently.

I know that its a good way to get a look at a player and then decide if they will be good players for a longer term contract, but most of these players usually play good while on loan because of the security of their jobs so to speak, they don't always know what the parent club will do with them, look at Pontus Janson, Played like a beast on loan and this season didn't do so well once the contract was signed. Not saying he played badly every week but he himself admitted he was way below his own standards.

Over the past 15 years we've signed many on loan players who we went onto buy and they became mediocre players with only a few exceptions who were genuine solid players for us. I know the world of football has changed a lot and the cash for full transfers isn't always available, and our own team has been littered with loan stars and wannabe Leeds players but majority of the time they fizzle out and don't live up to the standards they set for themselves to get a contract.

Pennington certainly didn't warrant a second look for a full contract to be honest, yes he has potential but he didn't show it much here.

The lad is 23.

He should be in Everton's first team. Potential is for players up to 21 in my book.

This is why we need to filter in some of the younger players we have at the minute (it looks as though we may have a handful) to give them experience.

Judging by his tweet, appears Hadi Sacko is leaving.

He's another one of them players that will probably set the world on fire when he pulls on another shirt. I think its the right decision for us though and would be great if we could recoup the £1.5m we supposedly shelled out.

Vernon Anita next for me. ?
