Marcel Brands has a golden opportunity to rectify Everton transfer mistake – Opinion
Everton defender Seamus Coleman picked up an injury against Azerbaijan on Saturday and he is set to miss the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualifier against Serbia on Tuesday evening. The true extent of the injury is yet to be revealed but the news will come as a major blow for Everton who are already lacking in depth as far as the right-back position is concerned. The Toffees needed to bring in a quality right-back option this summer but they failed to do so and it could prove to be a costly mistake for them. The 32-year-old Everton defender was unlikely to play every week anyway and Marcel Brands should have signed someone who could replace Coleman in the long run. Jonjoe Kenny could step in as an alternative for Coleman but the drop off in quality will certainly weaken the side. The T...
