Last 5 seasons 95 club games Everton 32 2 goals
Villa (championship) 21 2 goals
Anderlecht 17 6 goals
Sporting. 25 Inc Europe 2 goals
You can make your own mind up about that. But I smell the eggs are the going off a bit?
It's easy to just bash the guy, he has undoubtedly gone off the boil in the last 4 seasons, he isn't the fantastic talent he was at 23 or 24 year old, however, there is still a player there.
I guess the full story has to look at minutes that he played, as a loanee it's not uncommon to spend quite a bit of bench time, and also as a winger assists are important too.
19-20 - 2 goals and 5 assists in 1800mins or 20 games. So he scores or creates every 3 games for Sporting
18-19 - he was at Anderlecht and Champo 8 goals and 8 assists in 2371 mins, about 25 games. So creates/scores 2 times in 3 games
17-18 - 1 goal in 970mins, about 11 games. Clearly a poor season for Everton
16-17 - 1 goal and 4 assists in about 1200mins. so score/create 5 in about 13
15-16 - 6 goals and 6 assists in about 2500 mins 12 score/create in 27 games.
Even the last 3 season, including a terrible injury ravaged season and loss of form at Everton, he still has 11 goals and 13 assists in 56, which means he scored or assisted every 2 games.
He hasn't played enough mins but he has been creative in 4 of the last 5 years when played. He's still quick, good in the air and is different to anything else we have. As a super sub, he could be a game changing option. If he regains his previous form consistently, he Roberts and Tav would offer options to play with wingers in a 433, 4231 or 442. It's not as daft an option as you would think
