Do you think that it is a sensible move buying Djibril Sidibe for £12 million?Yes, he's been good enough
No, he's been too inconsistent |
During his stay at Goodison Park so far, on a season-long loan deal from AS Monaco, the 27-year-old has featured in 21 games in all competitions, in which he has bagged five assists (per Transfermarkt).
However, despite having a solid average rating of 7.08/10 (per WhoScored), some supporters were not interested in acquiring the Frenchman’s services on a more permanent basis.
No hit and miss rather give kenny another go

I don’t think he’s good enough for where we want to be so it’s a no from me. Can’t defend so no good as a right back so currently a makeshift right midfielder.

Don’t see the point if JJK is going to be brought back into the squad.

What do we think?
While some supporters are putting their belief in Jonjoe Kenny returning to the club and instantly being a first-team starter, the young Englishman only has an average rating of 6.56/10 for Schalke 04 (per WhoScored).
With one goal and two assists in 21 games in all competitions also (per Transfermarkt), Kenny has fewer goal involvements than Sidibe does in the same number of games (per Transfermarkt).
