This is a great post. I am lucky (in Everton terms) to be older than you. I'm 53. You have summed up my position on "legends" and succinctly presented the sad reality of the generation of fans that followed mine. Your post is notable for its...

We never really had that many during Kendall peak tbf. Gary lineker was possibly the highest profile that other clubs were after. Many of that great league winning side were not players we fought off competition for. I remember Ian Snodin...

The vast majority of comments i read are about his ability or lack of on the pitch. Like most things the abuse is latched onto and highlighted more. I think you're wrong about large section of the fanbase. And most certainly not match going fans...

In a way he’s been one of many symptoms of what the club has been/is and at a guess, I’d say that’s where some of the problems with the fans stems from, frustration etc. Seems a decent lad from the interview clips I have seen and good luck to...

Utter nonense. It’s not a large section of our support making bigoted comments though is it. It also Seems you dont know what the word bigotry means either. Dont be so quick to make such accusations about a large section of our support mate...

First part i agree. Second part. Could be a bit deep. My own personal view is there has been some utter nonsense written about him on here in terms of what he is as a forward. Clinging on to a spell he had around 5 years ago. Looking back even...

Good luck to the boy, and thank God this thread can finally die

Both. Sadly the parting memory of him was being put clean through at Newcastle and you just knew that ball was going straight at the keeper. Thats nothing to do with wingers. It more or less summed him up as a forward. You'll need to slot them...

He's been first choice coz we've had sh!te in the wings. You only need eyes in your head to see he's not a good finisher. He hasnt got a strikers hunger for goals. He had a great aug/dec 5 years ago in empty stadiums. But good luck to him. I...

The guy was limited, lacked aggression and raw passion for goals, however I wish him well. If the Calvert-Lewins have any sense they’ll be off to Saudi to sign a 3 year deal that gives him unimaginable riches. I doubt it’s his ideal destination...

People could see it - but people also see when he is in the box he misses one-on-ones like clockwork. While he had an aerial presence in the box, the truth is his finishing, in general, is reliably poor. You expect him to miss the one-on-one...

Wish him the best of luck with his career, prefer if it was abroad though. Seems a nice lad, things have just got stale for all parties and its time to part ways. Hopefully onwards and upwards for is both.

Another myth. The goals dried up after Xmas when Ancelotti was still the manager. Strikers can have little purple patches. Over time their real ability comes to the core. How many times have we seen him miss 1 on 1s with the keeper. Is that all...

Where are the comments about him and his wife on this forum? Derogatory comments wouldnt be allowed on here. And rightly so.

Glad he's gone as a player because he offered little. He really needs to up his game wherever he ends up because other fanbases wont have year after year of so little. Good luck to him.
