Strikes me as a guy who loves history, with his vintage planes and taking part in the Dunkirk movie. If he attends the final game at Goodison we need to lift the roof and let him see what we're about. Hopefully he will feel us and our passion and he'll be touched by Everton as the saying goes

If he hadn't played here before we wouldn't be interested.
His injury record these days is really poor and he's failed to kick on. Probably because he put himself on the line for us again and again.
I wouldn't generally want a player on big wages, who is costly, who is 27-28 by the time we get them, who has a bad injury record and can't find any form.

We can only dream of them sacking Baines and fans protesting on the eve of a Europa League game after a slow start to the season.
In fact I'm sure we'd all happily accept this scenario and wouldn't even consider protesting!
whats baines ever done wrong, leave my bainsey alone

So does that mean Richy’s coming home?
Hopefully not. I love his attitude and the fact that he gets us and all that, but he's not a 20+ goal a season striker and he's not going to be cheap either. For what it would cost to bring him home, I'd hope that we were looking for someone a little younger and a lot more prolific.
Loved him when he was here, but definitely don't want us spunking huge wads of a very limited budget trying to get him back.

In the last 5 years only Salah, Haaland, Isaak, Toney, Kane, Son and Palmer got 20+.

Yep 20 goals is seriously difficult. Watkins only got 19 last year and I thought he was the real standout striker of last season alongside Isak.
Actually what we need is a 1 in 3 striker. 12/13 goals is still a very decent return over the season for where we are. Hopefully DCL can get that this season.
