I would give 100% for Everton, I'd still end up getting megged by Paul McShane though.

A woeful player who should never have been signed, can't say I'll miss him or his little pissweasel face or his ability to be marked 99.9% of the time or his inability to muster up anything that a professional footballer is required.

Bolasie next please.
 

Page 7 is where it all really drifts into mentalville

You mean when he was having some decent games? what's so mental about that?

Some people comment about what they see on the pitch and judge it on it's current merits, as they are aware that footballers can have good games and bad games. Instead of having just have a blind hatred for something and a built in rage for that particular player, which is actually rather odd behaviour.
 
Agree with you there mate, and has to destroy 'big ego' players to placate his own massive self-obsession.

Mirallas... Eto'o... he'd rather have Cleverly the Neville Mk II supergrass

Sanity returned to the thread on page 23, how wonderfully ironic!

Come on Thomas.

Don't make me bring out your best ones
 

Provided he goes for a decent fee, mission accomplished. He came in on a free.

I don't quite follow all these "He gave 100%" shouts... he is the master of disappearing on the pitch. Never makes an impact in attack, no creativity, rarely passes forward, no real pace, struggles to find space or lose a marker, rarely offers himself as an option to the player in possession, weak in the tackle, does not impose himself on the opposition, does not close down or press with any urgency. Critically, he's shown no willingness to develop any of these areas of his game. Perhaps something to do with coming through the ranks at Utd, and therefore being treated like the second coming of Paul Scholes since he was eleven?

At least we have the chance to make a few million on him. Other teams were making £10m by selling utter dross to each other during the summer, hopefully we can do something similar.

I thought he would be decent. He wasn't, but for the free transfer he was worth the gamble.

we have several players like him, who promised much but delivered little, such as Del, Mirallas, Gibson etc. Not bad footballers, just not cut out to the rigours of the premier league or able to dominate games and become really good.

My conscience is clear, line em up :p

I had a go at Barkley in the Hull game as I was frustrated with him, apart from that i'm good!

to be fair to him.

He cost 13 million less than niasse and score more goals than him.
