today he was absolutely colossal but hes been poor this season, absolutely no chance would he start in our team
I'm an Everton fan (work at a few city matches so i like to check in on here from time to time - hope you win the league) and he hasnt been poor at all this season.
He is currently ranking 3rd (last time i checked) in Evertons player of the season polls behind Heitinga and Baines. He has been quality, especially since Gibson has came into the team.
When he plays with a defensive midfielder, and he is free to get upfront he is great.
People underestimate him just because he is tall - kind of like Crouch to be honest. He isnt to be underestimated, he has skill (as Bellamy saw when he came to Goodison a few years ago!), great passing, his touch is fantastic - especially taking balls down on his chest.
The only things i find is that he probably should score a few more goals - a few more headers in corners - he rarely does! Also, whilst the elbows have stopped, if a player pisses him off i dont think he is the type of player to hold back. He has kicked out a few times this season at some players.
Also, we bought him for about £15 million including extras, so hed be worth abit more than that! He is the main centre midfielder at Everton and we would greatly miss him.
