How can you say no

Would Ciro Immobile be a good signing for Everton? Even with a possibly high transfer fee.Yes, he is just world-class
No, too much for a 29 y/o

This season alone, the 29-year-old Italian has scored 21 goals and made five assists in 22 games for the Serie A giants (per Transfermarkt).
However, some supporters felt that the stellar striker was not for them and, at the very least, not someone who they should be looking to bring in mid-season.
We don’t need another Immobile player.

Ciro sounds a bit slow to me

I wouldn’t bring anyone into our dressing room to spend any time with niasse, tosun schneiderlin etc. Wait til the summer when we can make proper changes

What do we think?
While some of those who do not want him likely made their comment with their tongue firmly in their cheek, how could some actually not want Immobile at Everton?
Yes, it may be unlikely, but the 29-year-old has 202 goals and 52 assists to his name in 334 games throughout his career (per Transfermarkt).
He is valued at £40.5 million, so it could cost a fair chunk to get him to Goodison Park, but it is certainly worth an attempt for the star striker.
