Popular Post RuffRob Posted May 11, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 4 hours ago, Bailey said: I also dont think he has been THAT good that we couldnt replace him quickly and easily. Since Lampard changed things the midfield have just been about solid defensive work. Delph is ok on the ball but nothing more. Defensively he is doing the job of an average, experienced pro in that position, no more. Its no suprise that Doucoure and Allan have been much better since the changes as well and I suspect Davies could also come in and hold his own too. Renewing his contract would just be wrong on all levels. I am in this camp as well. Overall, he has been very well paid so he more than owes Everton half a dozen good performances. Time to move on from the Delph's of this world and invest in youngster like Mattias Svanberg who we are being linked with.

Heath Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 I would hope that his latest injury in no more than a niggle and he'll be fine for the Brentford match, but injuries are never that straightforward with Delph. Anyhow, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love Gallagher here, I think the only chance we would have is if he built any form of relationship with Frank while at Chelsea and Frank can sell him the opportunity.

Agree he would do Doucoure’s role - loads of energy but he is so much better on the ball than Doucoure.

He’ll be the guy giving Kante (who’s in his 30’s now) a chop out for sure. Tuchel has commented on his form and development a bunch of times in press conferences this season.

Was just posting this in the matchday thread, but for me it has to be Allan. Sure VDB could prove me wrong and play brilliantly, but I just do not trust him starting the biggest game of our season having only made 6 appearances for us and none in the last 2 months Bill and badaids 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 The most annoying thing about this signing is that it was completely avoidable.

Fosse Captain Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 The epitome of ‘Everton’s Retirement Home’ ……….. didn’t like it when we signed him. Offered very very little over the course of his contract and only looked half decent in the run-in due to the rest of our midfield being inept. plaidharper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been utterly useless for 95% of the games he's played for us, which is impressive considering he missed 90% of the time here through injury.

Crikey, it would be interesting for you to go through the whole squad like this, @Matt! We'll call it the Matt Ratio. 5% effectiveness in 10% of games = 0.05 x 0.1 giving him an MR of 0.5%. That's really low. Figure in 4million pa wages (£80k per week), maybe - for every £1000 we paid him, we get 0.00625% value (0.5 / 80). We'll call that the MRWA (Matt Ratio Wages Assessment). I think this could take off, yes? Will get back to work now... MikeO and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet a player we are happy to release has been better than all the other midfielders we have. being fit and available isn’t enough… we simply have one of the worst spines of the team in the league… without question we need to get rid of our centre midfield. I hope Connor Gallagher arrives, I doubt Chelsea will want to sell but is he marquee enough for them? I have no doubt he would love to work with frank and play in front of the crazy bastards who showed him what proper support looks like.

Heath Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 It's the right decision not to offer Delph a new deal, in fact he should never have been signed in the first place; we already had a younger injury prone Mo Besic who could play a similar role on the physio table. That said, Delph did play well in a few games towards the end of this season. He also gave us that entertaining performance earlier on in his Everton career when he called the rest of our players 'shit' then scored an own goal. Good luck for the future Fabian.
