Aye, that homesick for back home in The Titanic Hotel he went to Germany.
He’s a professional footballer, mood swings, ego, confidence, misses home - all fair & understandable - absolutely the right feelings to a young bloke, But his profession, the life he has chosen, with his skill, ability and sacrifice is that he is paid ten thousand pounds plus per week, so we can live out our dream of our club being successful is the burden and price he pays. But he will have a burning ambition to be the best, that’s why he’s made it this far.
Very few players find that balance between happiness & acceptance of who they are and have become - he lives a life that strangers comment on freely because he is employed by the club we support - I reckon most great players play at their best when they find that balance. Everton used to be a great club to allow youngsters to grow & develop their game. I’m not so sure that’s the case any more; we are so quick to judge it’s no wonder so few young English lads feature every week in the Prem and why the Bundesliga is proving such an attraction for many.
Hope he comes back & rips it up in a Bkue shirt but fear the damage has already been done,
