THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Where did it all go wrong? He had a safe few games at Everton then he was quickly out of favour there, out of favour at West Brom, out of favour at Sunderland as they were relegated to League One.

Since his league debut for us in 2012 he has started only 28 league games in total. He hasn’t been injured lately.

Was sent to the wrong club and wrong manager in West Brom. Was t going wel and he Missed out on a loan to Derby through injury which may have done him good.

Sunderland seemed like a good chance but let’s be fair everyone at that club flopped this season and it’s proper affected him individually. He won’t make it at Everton now I am sure but I fee for him. Didn’t he want to come here in January? Would be interesting to see if he’d still like (Even though he probably wouldn’t be able to) to come, and rejuvenate his career from the bottom of the EFL. He’s still young. Not a shameful position to be in for him.

Good to hear. He’s a good footballer, as shown when he played for Everton in the premiership, I hope he gets back on track.

The decline in his career has been very sad to watch. He’s gone from being Everton’s player of the month, and loved by the fans for his first team performances, to someone who couldn’t get a game for Sunderland, and now in obscurity.

I hope he recovers.

Looks set to join Luton today. Probably just the move he needs to kickstart his career.

I wonder if we have a sell on percentage? Mind you, if he left us for the reported £400K and we’re due a % on the profit then I can’t see it being much, if Luton are even paying a fee for him. He’s in the final year of his deal at Everton so I’m doubt Luton are paying much.

Gutted he never kicked on but make no mistake about it - failing to break into a Premier League side is no shameful thing. He’s clearly got ability and it’s a big coup for Luton.

I wish him all the best. Regular football for a side that play good football. He can finally kick start his career.
