Twice the player of Iwobi or Bernard.
It's not rose tinted specs, those two have shown us this season just how utterly appalling they are.
To be fair to Bernard, he’s a good player but horrifically unsuited to the league. Iwobi is just plain rubbish.
 
There is more to being good enough to play for Everton than just being better than Iwobi or Bernard. Walcott had multiple chances here and was completely underwhelming, hence the fact he was binned off. I for one am glad to see the back of him and wish him well wherever he ends up after June 30th - as long as it isn't at Goodison.

...i absolutely know where you’re coming from but I always thought we looked a better balanced team when he played. Maybe somebody of his type on the RW only better is what we have failed to acquire.
 
To be fair to Bernard, he’s a good player but horrifically unsuited to the league. Iwobi is just plain rubbish.

Unsuited to our team and system I would say to be fair, and although he gets slated, his goal tally has not been bad this season considering he's played a fraction of the game time others like Richalison, Gomes and Iwobie have.
But then again I think a lot of our other players like Richarlison (and James tbh) are unsuited to the way we're playing. Bernard, James, Richarlison, I think all of them would be much better in a more attacking system and could do well in a premiership team, just not ours at the moment!
 

The answer to our problems. No I will re-phrase that. Although he is crap, he is still a marginally better answer to our problems than Iwobi and Bernard ever will be.
 

Well, even if it was a formality, it's good to see us beginning the clear-out immediately. We really cannot expect to achieve anything with Carlo if we are going to hold on to the dead wood that dominates our squad. A huge summer ahead. We need to gut the playing staff and burn it to the ground if we want a new culture.
 


I can not believe we didn't put a clause in the loan that if they signed him permanently after he ran out his contract they would have to pay a £2-3m fee. Just like city did with us and barry.

Stuff like this genuinely makes me question brands intelligence for making this club money. Maybe I price our players too highly but I dont think brands has sold a single player where I've said "we've done well to get that much out of them". I generally like brands but this aspect of him irks me.

Its mad that even though I think walcott was pretty poor for us. The fact he could of made a difference in one or two games this season really does highlight how poor our squad is.
