It’s all Koeman’s fault. He hates him. Can’t work together etc etc etc.

If it’s not the manager. Then it’s the fans. He has supported Everton all his life, he knows the club has no ambition, so it can’t be down to that. He didn’t like being booed. He won’t like Chelsea either as they will turn on him much quicker than he can tern.

Think he'll do well at Chelsea

Get him off this thread, he is now a tit in the world thread at best

Didn't happen. Next.

I pay good money to go to the games so I have a right to boo someone on thousands per week if they're performing worse than my Sunday League mates whether they're local or not.

Maybe not booing but all the groaning when he misplaced a pass and screams at him to turn. And the team got booed, bobby got booed, and everyone’s seen the video of jags saying it’s not at him so he clearly thought he was.

He didn't get booed though.

I do think we need to get away from this footballers being fans thing though. It's not really possible for them to be "real" fans.

They deserved to get booed in the semi at half time. They were an absolute disgrace.

Good luck to him.

Everton fans should rise above any perception of being hard done by, and show some class.

Being negative towards others only perpetuates other negativity, and there has been enough of that at Everton lately.

God help him at Chelsea then if a few moans and groans sets him off

I’m not saying they didn’t but he clearly took it to heart. The fact he didn’t thank the fans when he left says a lot. Only talked about playing in front of his own people. And of course you can support a club as a footballer.

lol.

He just wanted to move on like every other good player because he had outgrown us. Let this be a lesson to anyone who keeps calling to put kids in. If they are good enough they play. If they aren't we aren't a charity or an academy but a football club with our own ambitions. We owe them no loyalty because you can be absolutely guaranteed they will show us none when it suits them.

That's the harsh truth. We should have moved Barkley out of the No 10 role years ago but because he was one of us, because he was a local lad it never happened when anyone with a brain could see he doesn't have the tools to play that far forward. He also should have been moved on when he hit two years to go. As much as we can argue about the price the club got for Lukaku, whether we should have waited until a replacement was signed, would he have stayed had their been more ambition shown etc the one thing no one can argue about is once it had reached the summer whether we should have sold. The reality is we didn't have a choice.

Good riddance
