Pogrebnyak is retired isn't he?

Or did you mean Aluko... he's still with us.
Drenthe?
Fae?
Halford?
Brayson?
Sarr?
Kitson?
Sidwell?

No, you're going to have to help out.

I think he means Sam Bartram. Had a trial here as a forward, didn't impress but went on to play 600 games for Charlton as a goalkeeper.

Unless he means a 5th choice winger, plucked from non league, sold for £750,000 2 years later to a League 1 side because he wanted guaranteed starts in the Premiership, who 2 transfers and 4 years later made it to the Premiership.

Nah can't be him, he wasn't close to the first team when he left and we got a decent slice of his next fee as well didn't we?

He’s probably talking about Alex Fernandez, who scored a last-minute equaliser against Barcelona at the weekend.

I recall him having one immense game for us (against Liverpool I think) but not sure he ever played for us again - weird one

He was recovering from a serious knee injury when we signed him and was never match fit.

Joao Virginia on for the injured Pickford against Burnley. Everton are screwed.

Great save might be a bit of a stretch. Was also let off massively by Vydra when he flapped at a cross and Vydra channelled his Royals form and completely air-balled.

If he's their second keeper and Pickford's out for a while, Everton are in trouble.

They could get away with it given their next two league fixtures are Brighton and Palace.

One small problem is they have City in the cup next Saturday.

Not sure why i looked it up - but Jaap Stam is having a torrid time at FC Cinncinati:

May 2020-Present P22 W4 D5 L13 Win %18.2

He may as well retire.
