Wouldn't even be mentioned if he wasn't English
I am not sure if willing is the right word, they offered him a pretty generous new contract which he refused so they are trying to recuperate some money before he can leave on a free.
Pretty sure they offered him a contract if £100K/ week and he rejected it.As far as I'm aware, Everton don't want to give him a contract...I might be wrong though mate
I think he has the potential to be a very good player, but time is running out fast and will end up another Wiltshire. He's not a kid any more and can't hold down a place at Everton so not sure he is really what we need. Maybe a team like Newcastle would suit him where he can work with Benitez and build a team around him.
