This is exactly why we are in the poop now.
What happened the num 10 wasn’t his fault but the sales of James and Digne are 100% on the FSW. He has left us probably fatally wounded through his arrogance and stupidity.
Ultimately the James move had to happen as much as I hated it. Because he was on too much money, whether he was on 150k or 250k a week. It was too much for where Everton were financially.
But Benitez's idea to replace him was with the creativity to come through the wingers, yet he signed two wingers who have never been and never will be creative, as evidenced by the fact that Digne, who has not played for the club since December 1st, is still the fourth-most creative player in the squad.
