holgate has been approximately 9 billion times better than this polish cart
I think you shouldn't conflate footballing ability with aptitude regarding handling EITC demands. The latter is, to me, of greater import. Everton is a loving, nurturing, family club. Our work in local orphanages and with L4's LGBT community commands higher priority than kicking a football round on a Saturday arvo. And, Capt Jags thrives in such community work: his Blue Santa role is a quintessential one in Everton's feted Blue Chrimbo festivities. His yo ho ho demeanour and his interaction with all our other lion-hearted lads, all decked out in elf, pixie and fairy outfits, is irreplaceable.
For me, Capt Jags' is the one signature we must obtain on a lifetime Everton contract


NSNO
 
Hate him nowadays. Has always been a dour, uninspiring captain but he's simply painful to watch. Can put in a shift against truly awful teams at home with nothing to play for, but aside from that he's atrocious. Same as his mate Keane. Both, plus Williams and arguably Mori, need punting out of the club ASAP.
 
What I would give for this defence in their prime:

Coleman Jagielka Lescott Baines

The problem is we’ve let them age rather than replacing one a season we now at the stage where our whole defence bar Coleman needs selling.

However when you give new three year deals to the likes of Pennington you know the club still hasn’t realised and still has no idea what they’re doing

It won’t be long id say one more season until Coleman needs to be replaced also
 
Not the worst player on the panel. But one of the first players i would sell. He must be the softest captain in evertons history. Has lead a team of soft heads over the last 4 years and 6 out 10 performances doesnt help his case.

We need a new mentality at this club. These soft heads need culling.

3 years pennington. Whats wrong with our club lol
 
He has been a loyal servant to the club and never hidden. He's better than a lot of players who are younger. It is certainly not his fault that at 35 he is still the first choice call at CB. Rather him than Keane /Williams or Mori ....it's an indictment of the club not the player that he is still relied on so heavily. I agree ....should only be an option off the bench or should move on for more playing opportunities....but I never would doubt his loyalty or commitment to the cause.

I dont doubt his commitment to the best of his capability. But his level is nowhere near good enough for what is needed at this soft club. He has captained a team that is the softest bunch in our history. Before we could have been crap but you had players who put in a shift. They dont care. And he is captain of a dont care team. Not good enough for our great club.

“(Finishing eighth) is a positive. At one point it was looking a bit hairy but we managed to turn it around. Eighth from where we were is not the worst position to finish in."

Get out, Jags. That’s exactly the attitude we need to rid this club of. It’s no wonder we haven’t won anything for years. You’d NEVER see a Liverpool captain come out with that.

Desperately trying to find some way to spin this season as a good thing.

Utter disgrace.

To be fair finishing 8th with Jagielka as a mainstay of the defence is a remarkable record - he's telling the truth!

In all honesty though, I read that last night and was simply shaking my head in disbelief. Hound him out of the club ffs.

Thats twice in two pages you’ve got all wound up by absolutely nothing statements.

Have some respect GB. Not his fault he’s still here playing. He’s past his best but still a blue, gives his all and is under contract. @davek you too put the Klaxxon away, seasons over - if he’s still here with the armband next season please by all means fire it back up.

:coffee:
