Have you actually read the quotes?

You don't slate someone by calling them "incredible" "one of the best signings ever" do you? Or am I missing something?

He's also right about why it turned sour for Moyes. One minute he's getting the sort of send off never before seen from a manger leaving a football club, then he tires to do his next job, makes a complete mess of the botched transfers, and he's suddenly public enemy number 1 who's always been an arsehole.

People are making far to much out of nothing, just to beat a player they don't like.
No. He's not. Most people don't mind that Moyes came in for Felli and Baines. We all expected that. There is some minor annoyance over the price tags he quoted, but most of us get that the game is the game. However, the reason the fans fell out with Moyes wasn't related to that at all. It was related directly to the way he spoke of the club after he left. He made it clear that he felt Everton were a small time outfit.

After 10 years of supporting the man, realising that he sees you as a stepping stone is where the vitriol came from. The fact that Ossie doesn't see that is a bit thick. Not indefensible of course, but wrong.

But that's all moot. Osman 'wrote' a book. The only people that would ever be interested in the thing outside of his family are Evertonians. And he makes a point to defend Moyes against his own fanbase while continuing to play for the club.

I don't care if Osman holds these views. But it was dumb to bring them out in the open while playing for the club in a book.

And on the pitch he should be like Hibbert - in case of emergency only.
 
What's the timing got to do with anything? He's in his testimonial year, most players bring books out in their testimonial season. There's loads of sporting autobiographies being released at the moment in time for the Christmas market, that's just an excuse and attempt to justify people's over reaction.

Also what's this "fragile relationship" you're on about, it's only on this website you see people's extreme views of Osman, never hear it at the match or on general football sites. Again just part of the facade to use this to have a go at a player some people on here don't appreciate or like.

No excuse to justify anyone's 'over reaction' people are reacting to quotes from his book, not the timing. I said I think it's poor timing as he is still expecting to play for us, I personally think he should have waited till he finishes playing.

You are joking about the only on this website shout arent you? Each match you go to people slate him, at Burnley their were people full on cheering over the fact he had been subbed.

He's only said Moyes was doing what's right for his club, he's hardly making some outlandish statement is he? He's hardly drawn a line in the sand with him and Moyes on one side and the the baying mob on the other, because really when you read it and rationalise what's been printed it amounts to the square root of f'all.

People just want to moan about it because they don't like Osman, it would be very different if St.Cahill said it. But I bet they both hold very similar views.
 
Don't agree with the way Osman has had a go at Cahill, but some of the reactions are pathetic as usual. Especially on Social Media and on here from some "Evertonians" who apparently hate an Everton player who has given 10+ good years to the club. Some on Twitter even wishing death on the lad lol.

Top Evertonians them.
