2021/22 Demarai Gray

[Eggsyblueskin]

Hate it! Counting how much sell on fee they can get if they come good, selling at the 'right time' !!! Proper cringe. You buy them to perform for the club not to make money on

By product of the modern game isn’t it.
Very few local lads in team’s nowadays, only scouser in the squad today was Gordon and along with Coleman they are the only players you could say definitely care about Everton.
How many players in today’s team dreamt of playing for Everton?
30 years ago the now common chant of ‘he’s one of our own’ would have held no special praise.
Reality is that ,like all the other none CL clubs, we are a waypoint not a destination for players still young enough and possessing the ability to play for a top club.
If Gray can maintain his form for two seasons he will get his dream move and in the interim benefit us with good results as well as providing us with the profit to maintain our place in the PL.
A corollary of this is that the connection between the footballers and the supporters is more ephemeral by the season. Why idolise someone who will jib you off at the first opportunity?
But that’s modern football, that’s were we are and many of us have been complicit in the journey that carried us here.

Fair play to him. Excellent start and hope for his sake he can keep it up.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Makes you cry all the money we’ve spunked when this lad rocks up with 2 in 2 for 1.5 million.

 

[barneygumble]

£1.7m what a player. Love the lad and I genuinely think he loves it too.

 

[jazzy]

This guy realises that he gas been given a real chance again in the prem and is grabbing it with both hands.
Chapeau to Demarai and Benitez.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Looks like a bargain signing , if he can keep it going

 

[Death]

Ben learned a thing or two about how to do everton transfers when locking horns with Moyes it would seem.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Pure class. Silky smooth. Weaves through defenders like traffic cones. Has an extra gear that on one else on the pitch has. Both of his goals just stilettos.

I'm as happy to kick Brands around as anyone, but looks like he did his job here.

Early though.

 

[kev]

Another excellent goal.

Happy to see he's jibbed off the knee slide celebration. Accident waiting to happen that is.?

 

[FTY]

Best winger in the Prem

 

[banno]

Wasn't in these game as much as previous but still gets a goal. This is what we need .....goals out of nowhere

I'm sure demarai Gray said he had a poster of Ibrahim bakayoko in his room when he was a kid and his dad's Andy gray

 

[Wat Tyler]

 

[Lloydystark]

Best winger we have had since a Andrie so far.

Better than Kevin kilbane
