2022/23 Allan

[when i score we riot]

Gareth Barry was older, and better

Yeah

That said, he did well and all but as others have mentioned, it seems a clever move financially to let him go. Thanks for your effort Allan, now theres barely any portuguese speakers left in the squad

I liked him. Struggled a bit with the pace and once Carlo left, it was kind of inevitable.

The South American dream is nearly at an end. Yerry I would assume will leave for a negligible fee in Jan. Either way, both him and Rondon are gone end of season.

 

[RomanReigns]

Did we at one point have these all at the same time?

Bernard
Allan
Rodriguez
Mina
Richarlison

Now it’s just Mina left who is in his final year

Good player, but his game was mostly about his ability to get around the pitch and by the time he came here he couldn't do that. Ancelotti's attempts to play him as a sitting player didn't really suit his game either.

His legs having now gone meant he was never going to fit into what Lampard wants here, so this is best all round.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Right time to go IMO. The central midfield is stacked now and it became clear quite quickly that he isn't the profile that Lampard is after. Another set of high wages off the books with a small fee generated to boot.

I just remember players gliding past him. He was a massive disappointment l.

 

[Hackbread]

Was so happy to see him come to Everton when he did. Sadly didn't live up to hype, He did a job but wasn't anything spectacular.
Think it's a very good move for us

 

[Drico]

It was.

The facts and evidence prove my judgement correct. You just couldn't see it.

 

[everton1953]

Another expensive liability gone. How many are left to get shut of?

 

[Trublue12]

Good business, getting his wages off the books. Hopefully we got a nominal fee, but like the advert every little helps.

Hopefully we won't have FFP, breathing doy our necks next summer.

I fully agree, the wages is a big one if he’s a bench warmer. I have to say I’ve always liked him and I think if he would have stayed fit in his 1st season with Carlo we would have made top 6 and Europe. We are 2 years on now and his ship has passed but I wish all the best. Always give his all in a blue shirt and a good pro.

 

[Papa Shango]

Absolutely crazy the revisionism over him. He’s a million miles better than Davies will probably ever be. I was gutted when he was sent off v Newcastle and almost every Everton fan thought that might be us down because of that decision. When he was out injured under Carlo we were a completely different team.

Davies can swan about for years offering nothing and has a decent game and his massive fan club are ready to forgive all sins and give him a new contract (are people serious about that?!)

Allan has a few bad games in a midfield two or when he’s carried an injury but generally been one of our better midfielders and people want him out at the first opportunity

I don’t understand it

Allan did pretty much nothing since he arrived here.

He wasn't shocking or anything but for most of his time he was just "there".

 

[ElGato]

So long Allan.

Underrated by many on here, but I think he was exposed by injuries to the more mobile and intelligent players around him. Ended up being stuck with Gomes and Davies for partners, which can't have been fun.

I'll forever remember him as the midfield general of the mad first few months of the 20/21 season under Don Carlo, skulking around with his shirt tucked in, flying in to tackles and spraying the ball around nonchalantly from the quarter back roll.
