I've always thought he's a pretty gifted player but always seems bouts of ill discipline and poor mentality are lurking in the background, saw that at Swansea where he had spells of good form that got him odd England call up.
PL Weekend 30th/31st
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Newcastle doing well upto now
Wasnt expecting this

Well that was a bit rubbish from Shelvey.
Can see why we wanted to buy Calum Wilson, has looked a million bucks.
Awful
Good stop from Darlow.
Nice move. Close from Richarlison.
Commentator earlier: Ancelotti says Richarlison can win the Balon d'Or.
Someone get Carlo a dementia test. Awful player and a huge waste of £50m

Really targeting James.
Newcastle just out to kill James
Everton absolutely hopeless so far. Creating nothing
We've had 3 or 4 good chances actually.
James not effective enough so far.
Out of all the players you're saying James is the one who is not effective?
Should have easily been a yellow for one of the tackles. Another reason why English refs suck.
Referee can't handle this match
So you're expecting carlo to say
Nah he's been rubbish, we could have invested better?
Hoping for a Digne masterclass for my fantasy.
Generally, would like a Newcastle win though. I like Brucey.

Another foul throw
He doesn't have to bring the Balon d'Or into it. Apart from the fact it mean that Everton would have to be insanely successful.
I’m not saying he’s the worst.Out of all the players you're saying James is the one who is not effective?
Can definitely see it being half time fry ups all round under Bruce
Yeah but there's probably a reason he did it
He works with richarlison so probably knows his mentality and over the top praise probably works more than anything else
It's hardly a reason to have a go at the manager
It's the most ludicrous over hyping of a player's potential since Fergie on Phil Jones.
Baffling.
feck me, there is a middle ground
How about, "he is a great player and can perform at a world class level"
Say it to him by all means, but putting it into the media is simply bizarre.
For an Everton player to win it, he'd have to be ripping it up in the champions league, or score an absolutely freakish amount of goals in the premier league.
Bit rich saying there is a middle ground when you went the complete opposite saying he is awful and a waste of 50m which is complete bollocks.feck me, there is a middle ground
How about, "he is a great player and can perform at a world class level"
Anyway, i'm pretty sure there is a stat about early kick off win percentages and ours is terrible.
Very close from Wilson.
Too many niggling fouls for me.
I won't even be surprised if Newcastle win this. They have a knack of being the giver of some upset. After how we lost to Sheffield and Liverpool losing to Burnley at home, nothing is a guarantee anymore in this league. Any team no matter how poor can beat anyone on its day.
What is this Newcastle players stamping on Everton's players feet.
There is a middle ground, that the other poster says Carlo should say to the press he is shit because I said talking him up as a Balon d'Or winner is literally insane.
My opinion is, he is one of the worst signings, for the money, made in recent years. The only award he should win is an Oscar, for playacting.
Bring my boy ASM on please, Newcastle can win this with him on.
Everton not looking great at all. Looks like a game Saint Maximin can make the difference in.
Won't lie, mad jealous of Andre Gomes' hair.
It’s to give a reference point for goal kicks.
Goalkeeper can’t place it further than anywhere along that line.
Callum Wilson give Newcastle the lead.
Newcastle deserve their lead. A Brucie Bonus.
He's completely out of form and has been poor for a few months but to say he's one of the worst signings is just plain stupid.
