Are you mocking the fallen mate?
lyrics from the song ‘19’ by Paul Hardcastle.
If you have any issues, take it up with him.
Are you mocking the fallen mate?
Well that’s the way it’s turned out hasn’t it? We paid that for the potential and it takes time for him to reach the potential. There’s no point people constantly having a go about it.I'm not writing him off, and i've seen very very few people doing so. There's a bit of a difference between it taking time and what we're seeing though isn't there? It would be complete revisionism to pretend the forum was full of people saying 'I can't see Kean scoring until mid January at the earliest' when we signed him. We knew it would take time for him to really blossom, but hardly anybody on here was saying in the summer that he was unlikely to be starting games 2/3 of the way through the season.
Again, i'm not having a go at Kean here (although he hasn't really helped himself to be fair) but this idea that we shouldn't expect a £27m striker to have had any impact at all in 6 months is ridiculous. It's not his fault we signed him and not a more experienced striker to help him, but it wasn't Cuco Martina's fault that he couldn't play football either, and he got considerably less leeway.
Plenty writing the kid off already eh.
Just think of this , our current manager tried to sign him for Napoli before he came here.
If you are doubting him then shame on you.
I kind of disagree. It’s a forum where we discuss Everton and their players. Most people evidently think a £27m striker struggling to the extent that he hasn’t scored A single goal, has been subbed back off as a sub the same amount of times as he’s got an assist, and he watched us play all sorts of people out of position rather than use him as one of our subs last week is worthy of commenting on. I can’t say that surprises me as much as it does you.Well that’s the way it’s turned out hasn’t it? We paid that for the potential and it takes time for him to reach the potential.

Would assume he will get a start tomorrow
Suppose he could move walcott up top and do the two right back thing. Hope he doesnt do that though and kean has a stormer!Who else could take Richo's spot?
