Player Valuation: £70m
Was OK today.
Not the worst by any means.Was OK today.
He ain’t bothered what we say about him, perhaps he bordered on average today, usually he strolls around disinterested, stands off any challenge that may see contact, that’s the defensive side covered. Offers little going forward, I reckon he has a pass or two in him but takes the safe option most times and rarely seeks the return pass. Doesn’t create anything and is poor in the air in either box. Has size, but not stature.
At Southampton he had drive and purpose, looks as though the past transfers have made him so financially comfortable he simply has little to prove. He is the type of player that creates the malaise which exists in Everton’s first team. I’d ship him out as quickly as possible - young Beni has more drive and ambition than this prima dona could ever attempt to rediscover - lacks the character to take us forward. Regrettably, the salary we have presented this lad creates a problem of our own making. Can’t see a long queue asking for his services, he has little motivation to improve, no World Cup, little to prove. Just hope another ‘project’ takes his fancy and we say goodbye to one another in the summer.
He has always been this type of player. A neat and tidy footballers type of footballer. He works well in the right team with the right system. On his own he is distinctly average yet technically proficient.
