Well said. There is some rubbish sprouted on this site. Fans just making up nonsense that Wilf is a disruptive influence.

Sitting on the fence on this one but do we know he isn’t. No-one is going to come out publicly and say it are they?

Surely it would be disruptive from a team morale point of view knowing the best player at the club doesn’t want to be there.

I haven't heard anything about Ayew.

I have to agree with that point of view. We don't know to what extent Wilf brings his baggage into work with him but you have to think that the circus surrounding him for the last year or so has to have some impact on the overall morale of the team, even if Wilf doesn't intend it to.

Of course, from a different perspective, it could be that all footballers are single minded and selfish and don't give a toss about anything except money, but you would hope that is not the case.

Speculation is the name of the game.

Camaraderie is another name for this game, the main reason Watford and Bournemouth died.

He can't hack it a big club, don't see why your blaming Moyes. If he had the right attitude and talent,he would of succeeded.

I thought we finished 14th, so there were 6 worse teams than us!

You agree that Lombardo was the most talented player to wear the shirt, how long for isn't a crieria .

Wasn’t that the name of the Italian kid?

He doesn't want to be here, and he has made that quite clear for the past 2 years now.

Even so, he is still our best player and we will be relegation fodder without his threat.

If I thought we could attract players of a similar class, I would be happy to move him on but sadly, we cannot.

If we didn’t use the money or just get any replacements, yes. It’s because we put too many eggs or wages in 1-3 players that we end up in these problems. Mark Zaha or foul him and wind him up and that’s job half done.

Your strategy basically says, like you stated last summer, keep hold of Zaha in the hope we get bought over, which I don’t see happening and while he’s likely to decline in his head and legs.

Once or if we get a decent bid in none of it will matter anyway because he’ll throw the biggest strop yet. Blimey he threw one without a bid in at the end of last summer’s window apart from the earlier Everton bid.

He was still one of our highest performing players according to whoscored etc. He still carried the ball more than any other player and completed more runs and passes than almost every other player in his worst season with us.

As for the disruptive influence, you have just pulled that out of your @rsehole.


Quite clearly someone who looks at stats but doesn’t attend games and see what’s actually happening with their own eyes!
Going nowhere with the ball (at walking pace) and passing it sideways Is not difficult.

As for your second paragraph.....again, there is none so blind as those who will not see and the overwhelming response to your bizarre remark says it all really.

She does look a bit, well mental.
The eyes could kill at 50 yards.

I really cant see anyone coming in for Wilf. Realistically who is left, Everton maybe. Not a great move for Wilf and well below what his expectations would have been. The issue for me is what type of Wilf will we have have next season. What will his motivation be, will he be disillusioned and resentful to the club for scuppering his chances to a big club (I dont agree with this we've given him a massive contract on massive wages and set him and his family up for life. Hes living the dream). Wilf was poor by his standard last season, I would imagine hes going to be even worse this season once the realisation has set in hes not getting his big move to play champions league football and win trophies. Think it could get rocky with Wilf next season.

Crikey

I thought she had an interesting far away look in her eyes. It seems my judgement may be a bit off nowadays, lack of recent practice I expect.

 

Rudi Hedman Flag Caterham 24 Aug 20 11.02am

I think she preyed on wilf because he was lonely in Manchester. Only logical explanation I can come up with.

He has three years on his contract. That is what matters.
Someone either pays the asking price or he stays. End of story.

 

Gribbo Flag Bromley 26 Aug 20 10.04pm

Wilf wants Champions League football because he is an £80m+ superstar. Not sure Everton will provide such an opportunity anytime soon. Also not sure Everton fans will be too enamoured with the hold the ball up, slow the game game down, roll it 10 yards backwards approach we saw last season. Nor the fall over, roll your eyes, cry in a minute response dished out by much smarter players like Ward Prowse and Doucoure. Needs to knuckle down and prove he is an £80m superstar, rather than spend his time on f**cking about on social media and sulking.
