The club will be touting for new ST business before we know it - can't say signings like this are going to have me hastily reaching for my purse.

Lovely hot donuts! If this was one for the future then I wouldn't care but, from OS article, McDermott says: "He's 21 and is a player we feel can play at this level." Bullshit.
He also says: "We're delighted to get him and I know our fans will give him every support in his time here."
Well this forum seems to suggest otherwise!
MaccyB doesn't say when he can play at this level or with who.

blueboy1878 Sorry guys i'm an everton fan but i cant believe you have actually bought akpan.He's the worst player ive ever seen wear an everton shirt.He won't get in your first team so i dont see the point in signing him,you should be signing much better players than this.Your manager and board should be ashamed.
I take it you watched youth / reserve games, because he only made one sub appearance for Everton (which wasn't League, L. cup or FA cup), so you can't have had much opportunity to form a reasoned judgement.

I nearly put "not Joe Gamble" in brackets afterwards, as I knew some bright spark would mention him.

THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION!
Welcome Hope, looks a good siginig for the future, seems a talented lad but I am somewhat confused as to Mcd's "players with Premiership experience" coming in, seems more of a prep for the next championship season ? will just have to wait and see who else comes through the door at the mad stad before the end of this window before too much critisism is pointed in his direction.
you keep missing out the bits he said since then: ie
we want to bring in players who have premiere league experience and can hit th eground running.........but its hard and we may not be able to. we are still trying

Hopefully he'll go straight into the team for the game against the Albion on Saturday.
This signing is just the impetus we needed. Now I'm sure we'll get out of trouble.

Look last time we were in the Prem we signed Kebe. It took 4 years or so for him to get the first XI..but we got relegated in style

That's the general consensus I've heard. Many people not renewing if you go down, just pick and chose various games to go to instead.

Will give me the extra impetus not to renew. Since the Olympics i've been thinking about a season ticket at the Triple Jump anyways
Pleased to finally get this tied up, was almost derailed by the racism and thuggery of Saturday afternoon...

Didn't McD say about getting the right person with the right personality etc etc - and so far we have a homophobic League 2 player and a bloke from Portugal who has only played 6 minutes so far this season. Cool.

League 1 player, apart from that you're spot on.
