The issue is more that in the Summer we could have received a much heftier sum, but for whatever reason Ross chose to stay at Everton.
A few months down the line, now he's gone to the same club for a reduced fee while meanwhile contributing absolutely zero to his boyhood club.
No wonder people are mentioning a conspiracy to increase his wealth and helping Chelsea; this all wreaks of a person lacking any real dignity.
As others have mentioned, I have no real quarrels with him leaving. Instead, it's the manner in which he's manipulated the situation and his club.
Not saying never as look at the change with the perception of Rooney over the years, but I think he's most probably truly burnt his bridges!
yep, i mean i wouldn't be anywhere near this annoyed if
a) he wasn't an evertonian or
b) we hadn't have brought him up from a kid and stood by him through plenty of horrific injuries
or even c) if he'd actually been fit for at least one game. The fact he was injured the whole time smacks of chelsea not being initially aware of the severity and then striking an agreement with ross and his agent to do the deal again in january.
Who knows, we may have agreed to that too, as we didn't want to risk them buying someone else and then come january he'd have no suitors and then we'd lose £15m more? It's definitely a possibility, but the silence and hiding on his part is the biggest let down. Rumours started to circulate after that u-turn that he'd changed his mind and wanted to stay, but apparently he hasn't even stepped foot in goodison since. What's that? he's just given up on everton now?
He won't go as bad as rodwell but he doesn't have the mentality to play at the very top like rooney did. I wish him no good will anyway, i think he's repaid our decade of faith with utter contempt.
