Some vile rants on here. The lad has left. Yeah, the circumstances weren't great. But maybe, just maybe he was reconsidering before this season was truly messed up. I fail to see how the terms of his contract have improved by stuffing Everton out of 20m. You only get massive sign on fees when you're a free agent. Sucker punched by a scumbag in Liverpool city centre, playing for a club that has gone backwards in the past couple of seasons, scorned at by fans, career stalling....... Im not surprised. If he truly wanted to stuff Everton he d have gone for free.
