Money doesn't come into it, it's been done loads of times before. Not comparing their careers or abilities but Peter Reid was booed out of Goodison before he left for QPR. People like loyalty but only if the player is still doing well. Maybe the coach shouldn't pick them?
Problem is he is still arguably the best centre back at the club, which is hardly his fault!
 
He's a teachers' pet. Just like Phil Neville before him.

The choice of those two as our captains over the last decade has been telling. We haven't been in it to win and compete; we've been happy plodding along being plucky little Everton.

Sick of it.

Would you rather he was in the squad or Pennington?
Other than that I don't know what to say.
Blame the managers for their selections.
I don't understand the vitriol from some on here.
 
Aye, I think barring injuries that’s it for him in the premier league as an Everton player. Never a red card, but the poor touch beforehand left him in trouble.

Always questioned whether he was vocal or argumentative enough to be captain, but he’s as brave as they come and has never give less than 100% for us. Definitely leads by example.

Over a three or four year period he was definitely one of the top 10 centre backs in the league for me, and arguably the best in that 2008/2009 season. Always wondered how that cup final would have gone if him and Arteta were fit, but there you go.

Shame he’s been unfairly relied on for too long.
 
We all know he's past it, he provably does and is asked to play so as ever, steps up to the plate. The newcomers need to learn the team and system. He's doing a job and has put his body on the line for the team numerous times. Realising this we should act with a bit of class and support the players in our club rather than haranguing them like a bunch of fish wives. True fans should return the loyalty he has shown to the club. Only when you start to grow old yourself, do you start to appreciate the slow decline in your abilities.

Hahaha loyalty he's shown? You joking? You think a better club than us has ever shown an interest in signing him from us? Seriously? Loyalty? You're off your head. He's been finished for three years and has happily continued to drain us of over 50 grand a week instead of showing some self respect and moving on to play week in week out at a more suitable level. Loyalty, haha. Hopefully this is the final straw. There is still chance to send him packing before the end of August. I hope we show him the door asap.
 
Still think it wasn't a red but still others have said that mistake is maybe a sign he's on the wane. He's been a good servant for us though.
 
He's finished with us now for me like. Not for a want of trying.

The "service" shouts wind me up. He didn't do it for nothing ffs..


But, at the time. He was truly superb for us and I'm crap with words so can't really say a bit more, other than. Jags, you was friggan great mate and it was a joy to see..

But, he's done. Not good enough to lead nor play for Everton, and the fact he hasn't been replaced is not his fault. Awful management by everyone (before this window)

Never a red either like
 
That moment summed up this stage in his career. Poor control and a lunge.

Been a great servant and player over the years. Shouldn’t have been captain.

Don’t think we’ll see much of him this season.
