Heitinga hints at Everton exit

Before there was even any mention of us signing him I researched the top-ranked nations looking at any centre backs who were the right age and weren't already with a top European club. Heitinga stood out and I was delighted when we signed him. I think Moyes thought he was getting a utility player but apparently Johnny refused to play right back and it was obvious that he was never a holding midfielder.

He had that one great season but, due to the strength of the Jagielka-Distin partnership he was always going to find it tough. He's a bit of a curious character too. He seems to think that he's one of the best central defenders in the world but he's decided to spend his prime years as a bench-warmer. It seems that he doesn't do heading, his positional awareness and discipline can be pretty woeful and, for all his tough guy image, we've all seen him pull out of tackles.

This could be his last chance of going to a World Cup and I think that he could still reclaim a place in the national side. I imagine that he's holding out for Roma or a German club because he has said that he'd like to experience one more league before he goes back to Ajax.
 
Remember when Moose from Talksport claimed Tottenham had agreed a compensation package for Moyes and he'd be there manager in a matter of days. Then Paul Tyrell threatened him with legal action :lol:
 

He was the only sub who went and had a kick around with the kids at half time, doesnt make any odds ability or wages wise, but he's being painted as satan by some on here

I think the fact we've been trying to flog him for years and he just keeps refusing to go cos we pay him wages noone else does, has soured a lot on him.

That and he was utterly awful on the pitch last year. Cost us ten points by himself.

Always claps the fans and has time for us though, to give him his due.
