One more year playing the Everton way... FFS, is there no chance we can play a different way for once? 🤣

Footballers getting blind drunk all the time, entering their 30's - hope this isn't anything other than a loan.

Yeah can’t say I love seeing him absolutely blotto every week like. Is he taking us seriously?

Let's not pretend either he won't be spending the summer on the ale. Going to have a player whose neither kicked a ball for 8 months competitively, but has spent a lot of that getting wankered.

I guess a loan is ok but I hope we also buy someone who can come in and play for the 6 months he'll likely miss.

It’s a recipe for constant injuries and we all know it.

At least he managed to stay awake this time.

We won't but I wouldn't be too bothered if we passed on him but we've always been good at taking in talented but flawed players. It's not normal for a player to be seen out on the drink as often as he is, especially when you're meant to be recovering from injury and getting back to fitness and it's not normal to go out and drink that much that you're falling asleep in the the pub afternoon.

Wouldn't surprise me if he ended up at Villa, if we piss City around.

They have a few players who are leaving like Elliott, Sancho, Barkley and Luiz and will have a load of games next season to navigate.

I'd like him back if we surrounded him with young, pacey players but as we'll probably have more of the same I'm not sure he's what we need, another year older too.

Best to side step him. Too much of a party boy for my liking.

To be fair, that's pretty much exactly how he arrived last summer too!

I’m going to feel shortchanged if he’s not back.

Was a pleasure to watch him. Best player I’ve seen put on the shirt. Really never seen anything like him in terms of first touch, close control, and digging out perfect passes and crosses even when it looks like there’s no window to play them. He’s a wizard on the ball.

Put a massive shift in too every time he stepped on the pitch. He really had everything our fanbase could want.

I hope we find a way to make the numbers work for us. We got by and had some good results but lost a ton of our creative spark without him.

I mean he had a stress fracture in his foot, seems more a freak injury rather than something you'd chalk up to his lifestyle, training or fitness.

'Excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to stress fractures in athletes. It acts as an indirect catalyst by negatively impacting bone density, slowing down the body’s natural recovery process, and disrupting the nutritional balance required for healthy bones'.

So unfortunately whether directly or indirectly alcohol does affect players bones.

He's just going to fall to bits as an athlete, maybe we'll get another 6 months out of him, either in one chunk, or split over multiple injuries across the season, but I think that's as much as he's capable of given the last few years appearance rates, and it'll only get worse in the following years.
