John Egan

He’s not going to win anything at Sheffield United so a move to a bigger club with plenty of money is the way forward.

It's encouraging that we seem to have at least 1 player each season coming up from the Championship and really excelling in the Premier League. A couple of seasons ago it was Duffy, last year it was Doherty, and this year it's Egan (albeit you could make a good case for Stevens and McGoldrick too). Also interesting to note that none of them are exactly "young", but rather guys in their mid-20's who have been around for a while and built their way up. I said it a few years ago, but this is the way it's going to be for us moving forward with it being so much more difficult to break through at the top level.

hope egan stays with sheff utd until the end of the season

Everton should never have sold Shane Duffy in the first place. 

Would be very happy with Egan at Everton, I think he’s a quality player. but I think Ancelotti is going to be looking for big names. That’s what the ownership wants and that’s what Ancelotti is used to unfortunately.

I only wished Sunderland could have kept him.

Becoming our best central defender with the form he's in. Which is really good for Ireland.

Makes it onto the bench for the Guardian's team of the season so far. Well deserved
