For most of last season he was certainly no better than okay.

my spin on him is , for most of the season he was shit, when Sherwood came in for half the games , I could see what the fuss was about, but he's opted for eversecond so fuck him, we move on.

If he was that good where was he on Cup Final day?  As anonymous as he was for most of the season.  I won't particularly miss him - we should be aiming for better than him.

On that basis we'd sell delph, grealish and benteke right?

I think they had more good days than bad days.  Tom was the opposite

Apparently he chose Everton over us because of "the overall package, the history,the players , the manager and the fans."

Wel our history stacks up OK so that means it was one of the other three,or maybe all three.

He forgot to add 'The North West' to his overall package.

What a load of horse shit...he most likely got offered a better contract financially and closer to home. I'd have more respect for him if he just said he's joining a better squad of players.

Their history isn't as good and their fans are bilge; North west location and a healthy wage is what swayed. As has been said mind, his good games don't reach double figures.

I don't care what he says. During the relegation run in, he worked harder and cared deeper than many of our non loaned players. I remain grateful.

Massive club, fantastic supporters, great manager. Pretty much what every player says when he signs for a new club.

And in terms of history and trophies and support, Everton and Villa aren't that far apart. So it must have been for the money

Maybe he just didn't want to have to move house?

Also, though Villa and Everton are highly comparable as clubs, Everton haven't spent five years mooking around with the guff at the bottom end of the table, though, which we can't ignore, they are a more attractive package at the moment as a result.

However, ultimately, it might just come down to him not having to move.

He also said playing under Martinez again swayed his decision.

He can say all he likes, but 75k a week and not having to move house are the reasons he signed for Everton, not because Bobby M is there or Everton are a great club. And who can blame him, I would have done the same. Still a weasel.
