Simon Smith
Player Valuation: £5m
So last night game was called off due to the weather and I was wondering if it was a good or bad thing for Everton?
On the plus side
1) it saved the pitch from being cut up before the cup game
2) hopefully we will have players back from injury for a rearranged date (Lukaku mainly + others)
3) more time off for the rest of the squad before the cup game
Negatives,
1) possible fixture build up?
2) lack of game time for the new lad, Traore
3) loss of revenue due to wages paid out to staff and so on
And goes without saying that i feel sorry to anyone that made the trip only for it to be called off half an hour before kick off, I know how they feel as it happened to me for a rain soaked derby game a few years back!
