2024/25 Joao Virginia

….he was awful on loan a few years ago. Some players are obviously content with their lot, no pressure, being paid handsomely to go training and gym work everyday and eat the best cuisine in the players restaurant.

Not a bad old life if you can get it.
Yeah I get that and part of it will be the size of his Everton contract versus what he can get elsewhere.

He's coming up to prime age though. You'd think eventually he'd want to be no.1 somewhere.
 

I'd happily keep him. Surprised he doesn't want to find a first team spot somewhere though.
I`d like him to sign on for a few more years. He stood in for Pickford a few years ago, and its handy to have someone capable of stepping in if Pickford does pick up an injury. If he`s not going to get any game time I`d like to see him get a loan deal where he could play first team football and be recalled if needed.
 
I think this is one of those situations you just don't have to bother too much about. He's adequate enough as a back up that i'd be fine with them extending but not so good that I'd think it's an issue if they don't. Back up keepers are ten a penny really.
 

Hasn't worked for him away from Everton but the odd first team game he has played for us he didn't let us down. Worth keeping as he is only on about 7k per week
I understand what you mean about the wages, but it still makes me angry to think 7k per week for sitting on his arse is a good thing. Different world these sportsmen live in. 7k per week. For doing f-all. 7. Grand. Per. Week. I hope we give him a new contract tho. SEVEN GRAND A FER KIN WEEK FOR DOING ABSOLUTELY BUGGER ALL.

Have you got any idea how much he gets per week, mate? 🙃
