Osman signs 2 year extension

[Carlito]

As much as I think Osman has gone from being an under the radar type of player to by far the most overrated at Everton, it's better to keep him on as a squad player than let him go and have to find a replacement.

This is probably the sort of thing Moyes is hanging around to sort out. He'll be worried about his mates being swept away by the new broom.

But what if our new manager hates him and doesn't want to play him? We'll be stuck with an unhappy player on good wages who's not being used.

We should have waited for our manager to arrive before we did it, just in case.

The manager can sell him and get a fee for him, rather then let him leave on a free. Anyway the odds are that the new manager will use him.

I'm glad Everton are showing the type of loyalty we would wish for from any good players. However I'm not his biggest fan and I hope he's more of a squad player than a regular 1st eleven over the next 2 years. I couldnt stand to see him keep the likes of Barkley out of the team any longer.

Interesting to see what everyone thinks of Ossie cos he splits opinion with the fellas around me in the Park End.

Personally, I've always liked him cos he dictates tempo of the game very well and can pick a killer pass which we have clearly lacked in recent seasons. I liked the way he stepped up to the plate when Arteta left and he has started to chip in with some vital goals e.g. first goal v lpool and wonder strike v Sitteh.

I think he deserved his England cap and his new contract

Good little player but would be more effective from the bench or start him for one half . We need to find a player with the same quality but 10 years younger . We are lacking that creativity . Wether that could be Barkley who knows . Barkley could make a good deep laying playmaker like xabi alonso as he looks like he has a bit of physicality about him

Good news for Ossie, but I don't think he should be guaranteed a starting central midfield role anymore.

Perhaps Barkley to take this on as suggested above by toffeeben15??

But what if our new manager hates him and doesn't want to play him? .

Should have been left until the new manager had been appointed.

We don't want a player stuck on decent wages who our manager doesn't want.

this all day long. what if our new manager doesnt fancy him?

 

[Marko Obradovic]

he is international player who has experience ,for sure he has future in tutoring Ross barkley

 

[sportbillyblue]

this is often a cue for a player to be sold and if we can get +4m for Ossie then with our best wishes and blessings he should go. The purple patches are very enjoyable the other times .. frankly dross.

 

[Arteta2391]

My second favorite Everton player. He has been a roller coaster to watch, but a proven true blue.

Outrage

Couldnt see an Osman thread

Gone are the days of millionaire footballers travelling to Dubai and the Maldives. Just walked past Leon Osman before, living it up in the square of Benidorm. Class. Good lad.
