State of him for their goal.

Exactly how he used to “run” and “track back” during his last season with us. Half arsed and at jogging pace. Lad has talent but he doesn’t want to do the hard work to go with it. This was a great opportunity for him to show he is good enough and he can’t be bothered.

Glad we don’t have to suffer through it anymore. He is on a downwards spiral and will be at a lower half team within a year.
 
Condisdering he got a chance to play here because of Chelsea having players coming back late after the world cup, I thought he would of tried his best to make a case for a first team start in the regular season. But no, totally anonymous letting the game pass him by, to think we would of lost him for nothing this summer if Chelsea hadnt of seen us a charity case and thrown us some change for him 12 months ago

I love how when he's pretending to jog but is really just bouncing when he walks, he moves his arms as if he's really sprinting almost punching himself in the mouth.

He has been absolutely crap here. Anyone wanting him back, especially after the injury he had, needs some serious sense shaking into them.

Wouldn't have him back for free.

We're going to need far better if we're going to try and break the top 6 in the future.

A fully fit Ross Barkley is probably an upgrade on all our midfielders, but my question is, why go back?

He played for Everton across 5 seasons and 3 managers, each manager approached him differently. Moyes tried to protect him, Martinez tried to delude him and Koeman tried to bring him back down to earth. He will never be a world class player, I doubt he will ever be as good as he showed in his first season under Martinez.

Apart from sentiment, which is weird considering the way he left us, I cannot for the life of me understand why any Evertonian would want this dope back. We've seen the best he has to offer already, and he's a massive rat.

Wouldn't have him back under any circumstances, ever.
