Thank God for his blessed intervention last weekend to remove Nikodem from the squad for the next three weeks. Should be in his ear suggesting a move before the deadline tbh. Jagielka is no worse than the young (Browning, Pennington) lads nowadays, so it'd be wiser to keep them and say adieu to P Jagz.
It's typical Everton though under Kenwright isn't it? Handing out contracts willy nilly to players clearly past their best, and then subjecting them to heavy criticism from the fans as they're still being used on a weekly basis and earning a king's random even though it's clear they're no longer at the level needed. Yes I know Kenwright technically isn't running the show any more, but he still pulls a lot of strings. I really don't think the likes of Baxter, Jeffers, even Ferguson would be around if it wasn't for Blue Bill, never mind people like Rodwell being given the freedom of Finch Farm.
We're actually fourth.
He is the one who has signed the deal. Why hasn’t he realised he can’t cut it at this level, like so many better players have who were actually younger than him when they retired/dropped down divisions?No he hasn’t at all.
The club are responsible for him still playing, not him.
They gave him a contract, they picked him to play, what’s he supposed to do, say no?
What an absolute pile of garbage you have just written
As for tarnished his reputation? maybe amongst the more mentally challenged and dramatic amongst you.
To be fair mate, if he's valued by the club and he enjoys it here he's not exactly gonna say 'you know what? think I'll swerve it cos the fans think I'm goosed' - he's obviously going to want to stick around. It's up to the coaching staff to utilise him based on what they see on the training ground.
