That’s just who he was at the time, unfortunately for us.AndSeel wrote: ↑Tue Mar 18, 2025 7:59 am Genuinely one of the ex Everton players i hate Drenthe.
Got pissed caused murder and had to miss the semi final against a shit Liverpool side.
Feel he could have really helped us in that game and he fucked us. Had to play Magaye Gueye there. (He can come)
Just feel like Drenthe took the piss out the club and doesnt deserve any sort of welcome back.
I think he’s since acknowledged that Moyes was right and that he squandered a big opportunity to rebuild his career with his unprofessional behavior. But that insight only came with age looking back on a wasted career.
Not saying the club should welcome him back for any particular reason, just pointing out his contrition.
He’s such a big what-if for me. If something had clicked for him professionally at that time, we may well be talking about him as one of our best ever players in the PL era.
