Sidibe has been working hard. Shows he is passionate. Definitely more passionate than some others! Deserves a full contract. Cmon Moshiri, Kenwright and @MrAncelotti … sign him up!

Permanent contract is needed

Great news, have to tie him down to a permanent contract guys. He’s been one of the standout players since getting his chance in the first team.

If you could activate Everton's option to purchase Djibril Sidibe from AS Monaco right now, would you?Yes, he's a quality playerNo, see how he goes |
Since joining on loan from AS Monaco over the summer (as per BBC), the French 27-year-old has featured in 18 games in all competitions for the Toffees and has made five assists (as per Transfermarkt).
With the loan deal also having an option for the Goodison Park club to purchase should they wish (per BBC), fans were keen to see the deal be realised.
Love this guy he’s always giving 100% and he’s miles better than Coleman – it’s a no brainer

What do we think?
With a 7.1/10 average rating for the season so far (per WhoScored), it is clear to see why Everton fans are so desperate for Sidibe’s move from Monaco to be made permanent.
If he continues with his current average rating across the season, the Toffees would be silly not to at least think about bringing Sidibe to Goodison Park full time.
