Him and Jeffers will be smashing the beak in. He's been caught twice, he's had opportunities. Can't say I'm happy even though I know he will be with the u23s. Probably more of a reason to be unhappy, the lad is clearly a blert and not the sort of character I'd want around the youth teams.

Can't believe we got beat to James Wallace by Tranmere earlier this month, on a free as well because Sheffield United let him go.

This transfer is like something I would do on footy manager, just sign some players who are above U23 level just to win that league. Billy Sharp banged them in for the U23's.

Read the quotes from unsworth

I'd rather be developing our own youth players than some lout who has messed up massively twice.

Who honestly takes cocaine knowing that you get regularly drug tested?

Who sells weed out of the back of a car in Kirkby, when you're already on more in a month than most in a year?

The lad is an absolute idiot.

Doesnt deserve a second chance at our club at all, why should he be given any sort of chance when weve got hard working dedicated young lads trying to break through there. Even if its only to get his fitness up, doesnt matter, he doesnt deserve it

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Ultimately this highlights that we look after our own, even when they screw up massively, because Everton are a proper community club

You can hate that or like that, it's up to you, but it's what we are, what we've been and what we will be for many years to come

Not a teenager anymore...had chances and failed the drug tests twice. For someone in the 20s...he got to take responsibility of his life.

A chance to offer younger players advise and guidance on where he went wrong?, this is the type of thing what people laud EiTC for and now all of a sudden it's not a good thing to try and get someone back on the straight and narrow? When unsworth clearly states what this is about? Giving him the chance for a lower league club to come in for him?

But look what has happened when it went wrong.
He got took on by the club on a six figure salary .

 

[cronullasharks]

What a complete and utter waste of time

 

[zzr45]

Has anyone noted that he's failed 2 drugs tests? Don't think that's come up at all over the last 10 pages...

It's odd that it's being done so publicly for what is for all intents and purposes an intervention. Is the club trying to make up for a perceived 'failing' in his early career - possibly.

That said it does seem that we have a lot of 'troubled' former players.

You his agent?

 

[jinkyali]

You his agent?

No but do you not think a club will offer him at least 2k per week your in cuckoo land

 

[zzr45]

Well that's 4 figures and not 6.

 

[orly]

Think the club could have helped him retrain as a linesman

 

[jinkyali]

Well that's 4 figures and not 6.

52 x 2 is 104,000 ergo six figures

 

[coollino]

Better than employing some foreign pansy imho
