Simon baker
Player Valuation: £10m
True & perhaps he is just waiting for the right manager to get inside his head & press the button that suddenly turns him into an unstoppable force.Fair point.
Personally think it might be more a reflection of his feelings towards everton more than anything, if the team is bad then he knows there isn't much point in trying then as we are going to struggle anyway. Granted that is a character flaw in him and he shouldn't have that train of thought, but it makes you wnder would this 'lazy' player be the same in a team actually winning games more than once a month in a season? Might be wrong here, but like last year, we are struggling to win more than once a month again, 3 years of that, bound to have an impact?
It's does happen managers getting players to work & perform roles they aren't comfortable with mourinho had Eto a notoriously difficult character playing left wing back & working himself into the ground in the champions league.
