I think he scored on his debut but that was about it really.
Can't see Everton pinning their hopes on him and planning him as a regular starter though and for £1.5m, seems worth the punt as a back up and maybe performing more consistently than elsewhere.

100% - doesn't put the work in. He must have worked under 4 or 5 managers at Leicester and none of them ever fancied him, which tells you all you need to know. Brendan didn't trust him one jot.

I hope we put a sell-on fee clause in his sale agreement...

It's £1.5m so not really sure it matters

Feel there should be an Oxford comma after debut - playing Demarai in goal would be eccentric even by Everton's standards

Maybe we went wrong by playing Gray out of position on the wing

That would look odd, but I think sports journalists generally ask the word ‘as’ to do a lot of work anyway.
