In a better side maybe, but he hasnt been for us, im not saying hes terrible, but currently his potential is massively over-riding his actual talent.
How can potential override actual talent? That doesn't make any sense, it means nothing.

And he has been for us, he's been superb in a few games and decent in others, but he's a 21 year old in a relegation fight who never hid. He captains his country and will hopefully stick around before he signs for a champions league club so he can laugh at blues who called him lazy for running 10-12k every game with high levels of interceptions, aerial duels, physical battles and absolutely always willing to take the ball.

He's got everything required to be a top DM at a top side so it's not real surprise they have had a bit of a sniff. He falls down a bit on creativity but the better sides have more than enough of that to compensate. He's a brilliant ball winner but the problem at Everton is he's got no one creative to give it to once he's won it.
 
But its a LOT.

If it wasnt for my Son, I honestly wouldnt bother any more.

And its not cos we are rubbish, we have been rubbish for most of my adult life, its just what is there left to support?
I've met guys over the years who don't really like football but use it as a way to bond with their kids. None of them spend any time in the closed season on football forums. Admit it, mate. You love Everton no matter what they put you through and there's nothing you can do about it

No he doesn’t?

Ok, maybe I was memeing a little.

But I havent seen the player some have, I saw a young player with some good attributes that under the right manager and right team could grow into a really good player. Im not even saying sell him cheap, we should be looking for about 50m as a min for the lad, based on his potential.

I love football mate, well I used to, its just not the same any longer for me. But I do enjoy watching a great game of football.

I suppose I do still love Everton, but it feels like a waste of emotion to me currently, my main emotions with Everton are sadness, anger, frustration.

Basically, Everton is the wife that has just been trained by 5 lads, im trying to forgive her, but its just so hard.

Gutted weren’t in for Alex Scott. Letting teams like wolves and Bournemouth ffs fight it out for a poxy 20mil
Don’t know what they see in her to be honest.

….not seen us even linked. From what I can see he’s a midfielder & if we’ve got £20m to spend then surely our priorities lie elsewhere.
Well that depends, he’s using doucoure in that attacking role who will probably leave next summer and why he’s can run and get in the box a score a few goals, he’s a poor technical player, Iwobi can play that role if he stays. But I’d like to see us buy the odd youngster for now and the future
 
Onana is a young payer with huge potential he did pretty well in his first year in the PL he is going to be up and down he had such little experience and it's his first year even established players who come from other leagues often take a season. But if we sell him for 50-60m we aren't making much and we probably miss out on his growth, so unless we get a huge bid I would keep him and hope he excels next season and we can sell for an even bigger profit. Move on the likes of Gray/Holgate for more funds.
