If we don’t sign another player for that position I’m in full agreement. Bolasie should be sold if we can find a buyer.

I agree but Bolasie is going nowhere I’m afraid and not sure it’s a like for like comparison in the positions they play or how they look to influence games. We paid top dollar for a player who, let’s be fair, had tormented the life out of Everton when playing for Palace, especially under Martinez & at Goodison. But what we didn’t realise was that they were probably the best games he played for them in each season.

His injury was a terrible one & he’s done well to come back, but I’m not sure is he now back to his best because I don’t think I’ve seen that consistently. He’s an expensive purchase to come from the bench as I can’t see him being a regular starter next year. We’ve lacked creativity for years and Dowell is one of the best at making the game look easy. But his languid style makes him an easy target when it’s not going through him. His range of passing is unbelievable & his hat trick for Forest shows his eye for goal.

I’d be disappointed if Dowell is allowed to run his contract down as he certainly deserves his chance in a Blue shirt. But that’s his choice if he hasn’t had the right offer from Everton and assurance over his d elopement. Big decisions need to be made on his future as he strikes me as a player who needs a manager who will encourage him to get on the ball & make things happen. He has competition in this Everton squad for that role - is he good enough? Not sure but he deserves a fair chance at least. If not, there’ll be plenty of suitors who are watching the situation. Let’s see.

Not being funny, I can't really remember one single match where he was.
