Worthless in terms of the overall squad. He's not a key player anymore and dropped spectacularly in the pecking order. Why did Moyes buy Distin and Heitinga if he felt Yobo was not part of his plans? Sure enough Heitinga is a utility player but is mainly a centre back/right back when we got him who, like Jags, can fill in a defensive midfield - a already cluttered area with Neville, Rodwell, and Fellaini. Now you have Mustafi and Duffy edging up...and Id be disappointed if Duffy doesnt feature next season.
And not even did Moyes allow him to fight for his place, he loaned him out. So it shows how much he's worth to Everton in Fenerbahce's eyes - between 2-4million I'd say and no more. There's plenty of 4th choice centre halves about who go for that price.
Its the same as rebuffing £2million offers for Yak...who cant get in the squad over Anichebe and was loaned out. Another one who is surplus and worth around £5million tops now matter how you slice it.
Im sure that Vaughan deal is 2.5mill staggered payments and add ons. You have to take into account Vaughan's age. Heitinga was £6million which puts that into perspective - World Cup finalist, won honours at Ajax etc, younger, can play more positions...is a better footballer.
Yobo can be a distinguished as he wants - the fact of the matter is that he's surplus to requirements here and he doesnt want to come back...and I'd be kicking off if I were Yobo if Everton pulled the plug on the move as Im playing at the elite level of european football next season.
