Who's he better than, and at what
James Garner
Re: James Garner
He can be pretty good and justify his place in the Everton 1st team, but not be England class. Thats an acceptable outcome. Its nice for him to be talked about in those circles, but I dont see him offering much that England dont have already really. I'd be pleased if he got a cap, bit like Ozzie got a cap and I was probably more made up for ozzie, than any other player. But caps are not house points and I honestly dont see England needing to include Garner in their world cup plans.
Re: James Garner
All that fbref link showed was a defensive midfielder with really good defensive metrics and bumbling around the 50th percentile for everything else. Pretty much what we all see every week... Doesn't surprise that's for sure.
Reliable 6-7 a week, every week kind of player. Not sure he has any levels to really go to above this, but small incremental improvements would make him at least post better numbers over time. He's fine, don't think we need to be looking at his role as a priority for a new signing, eventually we'll upgrade but no rush.
