Cooper said anyone who comes in should be able have an impact on our 11 on the pitch.
Not sure Holgate fits that mould.

Can't get a game for Everton who are shipping goals for fun at the moment. No thanks.
William Bolliam

He was in the england youth system during Coopers time there, but wasn't part of his u16's or 17's teams.

Don't really think he is for us either but let's not forget fat frank is a bit of a tool and probably doesn't know a good player when he has one under his nose.

I'm certain that Steve will take your disapproval into account.

Would be surprised (and disappointed) if he came in and went straight into our starting XI.

Mr Realistic
Would you have him?
William Bolliam
Thomas
SO what happened to him anyway? Wasn't he a mainstay in their starting 11 before fat frank?

Also linked with Leeds. Personally I'd say there's more chance of a mason making a hole in your gate

Quick and good on the ball, I think Cooper can get a tune out of him.
As above, if Cooper has identified him then we have every reason to believe this will turn out to be a good signing if it gets over the line.
He also has quite a lot of Premier League experience, and at 26, can still improve a fair bit.

Sauce salad?
Interesting one - at one point he was going to be the next big thing if I remember right? Like many his career has stalled at Everton, but he's a good age, mobile and relatively experienced. If nothing else I'd take him over Keane.

GAFF LAD. "Open your knees and feel the breeze"
12 months ago folk were doubting Cooper for signing Sam Surridge. In fact some folk got their knickers in a right twist. "Stoke fans say he's shite." "I'll drive Surridge to Nott'm myself, blah, blah, blah."
I love how people on here, and other social media seem to know more about signing players than Steve Cooper and his staff.

He was playing regularly before this season and was starting to be linked to bigger clubs as I remember. Lampard not rating him is probably in his favour. If Steve wants him that's good enough for me.

Huge yes from me.
As @Robert Learnshaw says, he's quick & good on the ball, is experienced at this level & approaching the ideal age. He would need minimal bedding in period so we could throw him in at any point with less worry.
As for the doubts about why he isn't playing at Everton, he started first choice - he got injured then they signed Coady & he never got back in the team since.

As mentioned before when it comes to Everton players, it's almost irrelevant how they've gotten on at Everton in recent years as it has become such a graveyard for players careers.
The way so many good players careers have gone to shit at that club is so abnormal, that I can't help but conclude that it is a club problem rather than a player problem (or even a manager problem; a world class manager like Ancelotti wasn't able to do much there).
I'd back Steve Cooper to get more out of any player we sign from that club than Everton currently do. There's something very rotten at that club that goes far deeper than the players and manager (as shit as Lampard is).

Just look at how bad their defence has been.
They have Tarkowski & Coady! That sums up them as a club mate. Those two were the best defenders for two of the best defensive sides for years. Yet at Everton they both turn into Prime Titus Bramble.
Everton's incompetence will be somebody elses gain.
Ashley
Steve Chettle
At almost any other club, Tarkowski and Coady would be a rock solid defence.
Everton chuck money around like confetti every window and always seem to make really good signings (on paper at least), yet they seem to be in permanent decline.
They could sign Erling Haaland and he'd suddenly become Eugene Dadi as soon as he pulls on an Everton shirt.
If Cooper wants Holgate or any other Everton player, I back his judgement 100%.

Difficult to criticise Coops for anything in my opinion. As long as it's his choice let it be done.

I'm familiar with his name but otherwise I know nothing about the lad, and even if I did I'd accept the judgement of the people who are paid to know everything about him - Cooper, Giraldi, Murphy. That's not to say that the professionals are always right, obviously, because we've signed plenty of duds over the years.
However, if there's anything to it, why should I trust your opinion over theirs on this occasion?
