Sibdane Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 It's not his pride that's the issue though. It's the fact that he's not fully fit and still getting called him. What's the point? Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 2 hours ago, Cornish Steve said: It wasn't that long ago that playing for your country was a real honour. Today it's an inconvenience for the club. In England, not many players view playing for their country as meaning much: little pay, risk of injury, and a distraction more than anything. For Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, there remains a strong sense of pride when playing for your country. I get that Everton suffered because McCarthy answered his national team's call to play, but I personally don't blame him at all for that. Call me old-fashioned, but I am proud to be a Celt - and so are most players from Celtic lands. I like it when players play for their country and I am a proud Brit, I have no complaints when African players go to the Cup of Nations. What pissed me off with McCarthy is that he knew he was injured, he was told by us us was not fit but he went and played anyway and made his injury 10 times worse. I don't call that being patriotic I call it being a twat. Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest. We wouldn't doubt Mirallas engaging in the kind of behavior of which the rumor accuses him. And, we aren't surprised by Schneiderlin's possible involvement either, because he's been a chief reason why our midfield has been total shit this season and we're seeking a concrete reason as to why. We want to excise the malignant tumor and MEGA (Make Everton Great Again 😎). I'm not saying I know this is a bullshit story. I'm just saying that everyone asked about it has denied it. And, we shouldn't rush to comforting conclusions. We should wait for more information before we know what to think or feel about the situation. Unsworth, for one, should be grilled as to why neither one of them was in the squad against Watford. Let's see what develops before setting fire to Mirallas and Schneiderlin.

Honestly would let him go for a minimal fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him go for a free then. Lookman is showing everything bar maybe end product, Lennon can be a stopgap, then let's buy a proper winger (one in January and one next summer and let Lennon leave) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueblue4ever100 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I used to rate him but he thinks he is better than he actually is now is the time for him to go but 30 year old Belgian international surely someone will give us a few quid for him .

Yep, had the potential to be a real quality player but so inconsistent, and temperamental that he never became the player we all hoped he would be.

Palfy Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 He is surplus to requirements here don't think he will be a type of player or character that Allardyce would want so let's get him off the payroll and get someone better in.
