Osman signs 2 year extension

[ToffeeDan]

Joke of a decision, no manager and old age players get a two year extension, going in house for our next manager it is then...

What's "no manager" got to do with it? He's an employee of Everton Football Club - the lack of a manager doesn't stop him from agreeing a new deal which was on the table for several weeks anyway.

This is good news.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Should be on a 12-month rolling contract at his age and form over the last year.

 

[BadWool76]

Good for Ossie. One of our better players.

He is not one of our better players at all. He is not good enough and should be dropped immediately

 

[Brennan]

Don't really see the issue to be honest. He was always going to sign a new contract regardless of the manager.

Possibly but not like this year he has gone downhill as a player is it?

So that's why he got to play for our national team then is it?

I was saying possibly to 12 month rolling contract. He hasn't got worse as a player so a 2 yr deal is fine.

Personally think he's on the decline and it'll show pretty soon.

This .

Plays a fairly consistent amount of games, can play multiple roles in the midfield, coming off his best season, 32 years old. There is a very high likelihood of him being a major contributor over the two years of his deal.

I agree, plus he knows the club inside out and will be worth his weight in gold for a new manager coming in.

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

having seen Moyes gone i was hoping he would be next , oh well hopefully he will be a bench warmer as he isnot good enough

 

[Walken]

After his best season? He was utterly grim for 5 months straight and that's his best season, one year would have done, shouldn't be an automatic starter

Hopefully just a squad player now dire Dave has taken the money

 

[electricblue]

Well in Oz.

Was great in the first half of the season but was out of form between Feb and April. Barkley replaced him against Arsenal when he was injured and impressed, yet Osman still came right back into the squad the next game and continued his poor form against Sunderland.

I'm an Ossie fan but he shouldn't be playing when he's out of form.
