....not for me. The risk of injury and the constant travel to mid-week games in South America take its toll. In Everton’s interest, I prefer he’s not called up.

The wee man is developing a proper engine needed for the hard graft of the English game. Playing football was never his issue.

TRue. His last international appearance was the infamous 7-0 defeat...a few of that team have not played for Brazil since then. I like our players getting international call ups, it helps our image world wide, but in the South Americans case, I'm 50/50. We are showing signs of having a system and identity, and about 8 of the 'first team' will be the basis of our team next season. Its going to be a big summer, and a big season next season.

He's quicker than Pienaar and has probably better execution because of that, but i think the comparison with Pienaar is good in terms of how they think/play. Ball close to body, low centre of gravity, quick on the turn, can see a pass.

This always has to be balanced against the marketing that could be done for Everton if he does though. To be seen as a club that you can join, to then get into your national team makes an enormous difference. We've seen it with Richarlinson, Keane, Digne & Zouma already.
....good point, but it is a balance. Coleman, McCarthy and Migne recent examples of lengthy injuries received on international duty. Ultimately, our profile will truly be raised when our team is successful and competitive on the pitch.

That's the conundrum you have with International football Eggs. You don't want your players (especially if their South American) to risk injury and the disruption of long travel, but you want them to be playing well enough for us that they'll be recognised by their country.

One of my favourite none Everton players of the premier era was Juninho. Bernard very much reminds me of him. I too want him to be a huge success for us and I think we'll see him flourish next season. Think his partnership with Digne could become as important to us as Baines/Peinaar.

Walcott? down the drain, paid too much cannot shift him. But look at Richarlison pairing with Coleman.

Lookman will never be a third of the player Bernard is.
This amused me deeply.
Calling him a “Favella Sex Pixie” might not of helped his cause...
