Merson the most anti-Everton pundit today

[fandjango]

I am fed up with the constant belittling of our club and everything about it ... according to MersArse ...Before Theo signed he was spouting we were not good enough for him ...and now that he has signed he has only come for the money .......this has pretty much gone on all season in one form or another
What’s his gripe ?

 

[Bluebonic]

Ive always though him complimentary about Everton personally. Most of what he has to say about us that is negative, i agree with.

He didn't say we weren't good enough for us. He said he thought he would join Southampton or Bournemouth as it would mean less of an upheaval for Walcott and his family. There are an awful lot more pundits who give us stick more then Merson.
And in fairness we deserve plenty flak

 

[Papa Shango]

Our fans do that on a daily basis.

Why would player X want to come here etc?

I've not heard much from him recently but in the past he always seemed positive about us. Or have i only heard thge good bits ?

 

[Lee Smith]

I've always thought Merson generally speaks quite highly of us in all honesty

 

[Eggs]

...that means he’s worst than Lawrenson.

He said ...
“Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has advised Theo Walcott against a move to Everton and believes the out-of-favour forward would flourish if he joined Bournemouth due to their attacking style of play.”..... which may be true

Absolutely.

I have never found Mersin to be particularly anti Everton.

 

[Nymzee]

I don't mind him, cockney's make me laugh.

 

[Woolly Blue]

I quite like him.
He was gushing with praise for us when we were boss in Martinez's first season, and now he thinks we're gash. I just think he's being honest.

I don't really listen to anything he says anymore but he always used to be really complimentary of us? He's probably just calling us out for the circus that we are. You can't deny we are a complete mess right now.

Don't think that means we are not good enough though. Are Bournemouth better. On sky last Saturday he said he done some thing similar himself when he joined Middlesborough and he regretted it and if he was Walcott he would stay closer to London

Here's a typical range of Merson comments:

"Dont get me wrong Jeff, Everton are a massive club. But you have to say Andy Carroll would be ruining his career if he went there right now"
"Jeff, I love Everton they're a big traditional club, but you wouldn't say to a player go and join them and win trophies would you?"
"They're a fantastic club, Everton, but come on Jeff they cant be seen as Champions League contenders"

Damned with faint praise.
