2023/24 Mason Holgate

[Goat]

Joselu , a journeyman professional who spent some time with Stoke last night scored to get Madrid into a CL final.

There would have been uproar on here if we had signed him.

It just shows players can do well at some clubs and not at others and also what a really good manager can get from ordinary players.

Holgate is no world beater but certainly was not a bad player.
I don't know why but his form has fallen off a cliff in the last year or two.

Dyche said that Holgate pushed for a move away at the start of the season and it makes me wonder if he has lost the taste for the hard work that professional football demands. He is already a wealthy young man.

Surely if he had lost the taste for hard work he would have wanted to stay at Everton and sit on the bench? Or at home.

He can keep Dele company on the bench there's million a month wages

…I’d be very concerned if Dele is still here to join him on the bench.

The best thing he did was push Firmino into Row B during the derby. And then front up the sod when he emerged.

There were Barnsley fans saying he was a better prospect than Stones when we signed him. They were obviously wrong. Some players forge ahead and embrace professional football, others (Holgate) don't have the push to really succeed. Its a fine line.

If Holgate is pushing for a move it means he wants game time.

If he "lost the taste for hard work" as you say then he'd sit around at Everton not having to play.

Is it due to intelligence in any way?

That's a bit harsh on Barnsley fans mate

Thats a big part of it.
