Alright, now let's re-invest it on a midfielder with more dynamism about him in the final third. Playing one steady type like Westwood or Gardner is fine, but the two of them together is an unbearably shit proposition.

Cheerio, um, whatever your name was.

Whoever takes him off the wage bill is welcome to him. The interest in him smacks of Reilly style moneyball stat buying

*muffled screams into cushion*

To be fair this signing could be the defintion of Moneyball. If they have concluded that running around a lot and generally being ineffective is a more valuable stat than scoring goals or assists for example.

Yeah, but without him last season we would have finished bottom of the league and only beaten Wycombe Wanderers 1-0.

Now confirmed as an Everton player.

thanks for fuck all

dont worry you will soon get found out

I think he will do alright up there.....he had a tough old job last season operating in our midfield in his first season in England.

[Rigadon]

Started OK, got worse.  Bye bye.

Apart from that would be based on sabermetrics and not the Moneyball system.

Agreed. He was expected to come in late and immediately make an impact. I don't think he ever got comfortable, and was surrounded by absolute trash.

Not to mention he is now under Koeman, who unlike Sherwood, Remi, Black.., is an actual football manager.

I can only remember a decent counter attack from him against Sunderland at home and an fa cup goal but knowing our luck he'll be a revelation at Everton

[PeterWithesShin]

Wouldn't have minded him staying, not overly fussed he's gone. May well be a good player in a decent side with a manager and coaches that know what they are doing but was pretty 'meh' for us.

[Drummond]

I still don't understand how you pay £9m for a player and put a release clause in his contract that allows him to leave for less.

i.e. Play shit and we'll let you leave on the cheap.

Pretty much sums up how I feel about him to...
I harbour no ill feelings towards him, let's just invest the money wisely and on players that want to play for us...
