Holgate

Started for Southampton today - let's just say our chances of getting any sell on fee aren't great!

 

Never really shined for Everton did he, & let’s face it it’s not hard. There’s no wonder teams above Everton never fancied him.

 

I was speaking to an Everton ST holder mate yesterday. I suggested that they sell him so we could get a cut of the profit. His response was that nobody will pay his £70,000 a week wages. It will be very likely that he will see out his contract and go on a free given his recent form and who can blame him.

 

Few of my mates have ST's and they have said pretty much the same

 

Its weird because he started all the time for ancelotti when he was in charge and looked very decent... really hope he gets his career back on track because he has performed in the premier league before but consistency is the issue I fear.

 

I think it was Ronald Koeman who saw the most potential in him and tied him down to a longer, better contract. Had him shadowing Leighton Baines and even lived, for a while, with Ashley Williams and his family, to learn how to be a model professional.
Just that, such is the mess at Everton, subsequent managers have overlooked him and damaged his career when he was touted as a future England international.
Personally, based on the early appearances for us, I thought he had the potential to be better than Stones, such was his calmness at a young age.
But Stones has had the right guidance to become world class while Holgate has been mismanaged at a club in turmoil.
Shame really as I am told his attitude is spot on.

 

James Bree is another one who has never lived up to the potential he seemed to have when he left us. Coincidentally he his also now at Southampton. Hope they can both turn their careers around there.

That Stones lad set the bar high didn’t he?

 

£70k a week wow

 

Time and a half Saturday double time Sunday,soon adds up

 

I think Bree is a steady championship player I think holgates career stagnated at Everton should have moved on a while back.

 

Is this so? Incredible really. I thought he was good but we’ve had a lot of players I thought were ‘good’ .

 

When he was at Luton under Jones, easily best right back in champ at the time. I thought he grew into his potential. Just had an unlucky move as Jones got the boot not long after he’d signed

 

Keresforth Lancaster.

 

Never shined for Southampton yesterday ether... Watch the highlights

 

No idea if true but its a scandalous amount
