Never heard of this guy left back apparently.
Everton in talks to sign Melvin Bard after Nice enquiry – report.

I read serious negotiations are taking place and Bard is up for the move, if we get him and Doue at right back, this takes us to the next step up UTFT COYB.

Azuno for 10 million seems like a great buy if this comes off - seriously, I don't get why we signed him?

Watched him, he is aggressive and, yes, better than Myko. Must mean Moyes is happy with Ruhl, Garner, O'Brien, Patterson at RB.

Can't see why we wouldn't sign a right back too if the right one is available and affordable.

Bard could be a massive upgrade, he's like a balance between the defence minded Myko and attacking promise of Aznou!
More dynamic and marauds forward with purpose, good ball retention and shorter, precise passing compared to long balls from Myko which often seem more hopeful than planned!
Good creator of chances as well.
Defensively sound, which is what I feel Aznou lacks currently, tenacious tackler and more interested in stepping into the tackles and intercept to help transition the play from defence to attack!
Whereas Myko will sit back and drop regularly.
If we signed him, given the high percentage of our attacks that came down the left side last season, I feel they would come to better results with a productive overlapping fullback.
Would expect this to lead to a loan for Aznou to get game time and work on his defensive game, hopefully come back a better player like Branthwaite did.
