I’m sorry but there’s no way Besic is worse than Schneiderlin or Rooney in holding mid. His treatment by Everton has been disgraceful. It started with Martinez making a point to the fans by subbing him off when he was our best player. Koeman completely ignored him for his signing Gueye and Allardyce couldn’t wait to get rid of him.
Think back to the level he was at in the league cup semi v City and ask yourself why a player capable of that is out on loan and Schneiderlin is starting.
If Besic has cost 25 Mill plus he’d be getting rehabilitated with chance after chance like Keane Schneiderlin and Siggurdson are. Because he was relatively cheap though Everton are happy just to phase him out of the club.
It’s poor management, he’s a good player, yet whilst we claim players like McCarthy are ‘family’ we’ve treated a Bosnian international like a youth player since he’s arrived.
