One of Clarke or Johnson to move on then you would think.
Think it’s a good signing personally, great experience and still playing semi regularly last year in the premier league.
Would imagine he’s here with a view to moving into coaching as well? |  |

I’m alright with this. Will give us some good balance down that side. Solid and as far as I’m aware pretty fit and played regularly last season. |  | | |

He was one of Everton's best performers last year. Good signing. |  | | |

just turned 40. As a coach really like this. As a player at 40 I'm really not sure about this. It's no exactly progressive though he can do a job. I hope it's more a view to the coaching side but the article suggests decent wages. [Post edited 21 Jul 11:46]

He's still fit as a fiddle and played loads for Everton last season. Leader with a nasty streak too. Needed with Morsy off. | | | |

wouldn't have an issue with this at all. Tons of experience and will give a huge voice in the dressing room. having experience (even if his injured) can offer so much in general. |  | | |

Don't worry about his age, this guy will be Young all of his life | | | |

Fills the leadership, experience and voice void that Morsy departs with.
Good addition. |  |

Not sure that matters particularly, he's not coming to solve a next 5 years problem. If he's good for the next 9 months that's a win. Played a lot of football for Everton last season, I think his experience and leadership qualities will be invaluable too. |  | | |

That's very true...as a similar age profile it's pretty inspiring. I think I've stayed quite fit and still play....but I'm hobbling around for days after playing 🤣.
He has really looked after himself. I'm sure he will do well. Just one where it is a one year and out (coaching with us hopefully) scenario. [Post edited 21 Jul 11:53]

Suspect he is in addition and brought in for his experience. Can't see Johnson or Clarke going given their relative age compared to Young | | | |

I don't disagree. He'll have 100% support from me. Just prefer a younger player who can progress with us. But trust McKenna and we need some experience with .orsy going. That's a lot of experience haha.
Think if he goes on to stay and coach that's a great thing as well. | |

Just seen his son is a free agent too - I wonder if we'll sign him for the U21s as part of the deal  |  | | |

Played as a trialist for the youth team a couple weeks back... | |

If one of Johnson (more likely) or H.Clarke are moving on, then think it's a pretty decent signing.
If not, it's a pretty pointless signing.
Been some player throughout his career though. |  | | |

Only 7 of our players played more PL minutes than him last season and that includes Delap, Morsy, Hutchinson and Cajuste so potentially only 3 of the remaining squad |  |

Pretty low risk as well you would think. Of course he'll be earning a wage but on a free, presumably a 1 year deal, can't see a huge amount of downside risk even if he's keeping Burns seat warm for 6 months while he works his way back. Versatility is very valuable too, the sort of player I can see making 20 appearances but having an impact far greater than that on 'the group'. | | | |

Quite likely, he's been with the U21s for past 3 weeks or so | |

Neither Johnson or Clarke has been massively trusted by McKenna at right back in the past and squad places are at a premium so not a chance we will be carrying 3 right backs.
Johnson has some premier league links, we signed Williams to displace Clarke in our promotion season and then Tuanzebe was preferred to him as well. I don’t think it’s a massive stretch to say he’s not massively rated by McKenna. | |

As experienced cover, fine.
But i think it would be a real back step to let Johnson go. He has the engine and pace to be a really effective RB/RWB at this level and can get up and down the line.
Harry Clarke i'd assume/hope would be the one to make way.
A bit of strange signing to be honest. Jury is out on this one, as it is with a few decisions the club has made this summer. Not entirely convinced. | | | |

100%. Clarke won't be here on September 1st. |  | | |

Huge amount of experience and knowledge, but no coaching badges currently.
Worth noting he played over 30 games in the PL last season - more than Tuanzebe . . .
Edit: Forgot that he would have been in the Utd first team when McKenna was there, so worked together before. There can't be many times a player in the Championship is older than his manager . . . [Post edited 21 Jul 12:12]
