Because he's scored 43 goals and made 20 assists in the Prem for us over the last three seasons? Because he's got another 18 goals and 2 assists in all other competitions over the same period? Because without him we would have been in danger of relegation? Because the reason for his sulking has been sacked? Because the only other proven goalscorer in the entire squad is Kevin Mirallas?
Just ideas, like.
I'm well aware he's been brilliant for us. Don't try and make me out to look stupid, I know what he's done in the past.
I mean in the last ten weeks he's not been interested in the slightest. I've wasted time, effort and money following him round the country and watched a fella who's heart rate has barely gone above 40 beats a minute.
If he continues in that vein, considering he's already made noises about leaving, there's no point him being here.
I want to see players who want to play for Everton. It's an honour to play for this club, and it's about time people didn't roll over backwards and let their tummies get tickled fawning after someone who's bagged a few goals.
