Henen hints at Everton exit

Read Besic scored an important goal for his team fighting to get into the Championship playoffs.

Him too.

But he's 21 now and really should be threatening the first team, and he isn't. So perhaps letting him go is for the best.

Since coming to Everton he has been dogged by bad luck with injuries. But, since his loan move to Middlesborough he seems to have settled, been injury free, has not, to my knowledge been booked (let alone sent off) and is contributing massively to Middlesborough's late drive for the Championship play-offs.

In short, he is developing into the type of box to box committed midfield player we have been screaming out for all of this and last season.

I think his "perpetual potential red card" performances, with us were probably born of a desperation to impress on the few occasions he was given a start in the first team, but, once he is given regular game time in his correct position (as he now is at Middlesborough), he is blossoming into the player we all hoped he would be.

Love or hate Pullis, one thing he does do right is to play players in their best / preferred positions and Mo is turning our to be our one consistently successful loanee of this season.

Remember Seamus and Leon had similar spells, before settling into the first team – please don't be too keen to get rid of Mo, so easily – it may well come back to bite us in the rear end.

On current form I would have him in the team before either Schneiderlin or Rooney, any day of the week.

Always thought Besic should be given a go and he was unlucky with injuries. I've never understood the fascination with players like McCarthy who get better in the memory of so many the longer they are out injured.

But as has been said on here so many times, which players come and go is less important than who is going to be responsible for offering the contracts or the open door. The current manager could decimate this squad if he is allowed to stay around for any time after the season ends.

He will let the likes of Lookman and Vlasic go and use the money to buy another journey-man midfield clogger. Until this is sorted,I shudder to think what will be inherited by a new management.

If Boro wants to keep him and it looks like they do, his on 㿞k per week for the next three seasons. Not an easy contract to dump to the Championship.

As for his "Red card waiting to happen" rep, I never saw him that way. More the headless chicken, to me. But, as far as getting carded, he couldn't hold a candle compared to Fellaini or Barry.

As to his injury record. He's been touch and go for some games, according to his manager, for guess what? His hamstrings.

I wish him all the best. If it's at Everton especially. I just don't think he's good enough.

Is Henen only 21? I thought he was around 23... he's been here three years and never really looked like he could make the first team. I think he is another player who is on good wages and has preferred to stay here collecting them rather than take a chance elsewhere.

Bolasie, Walcott, Lookman and our former Spanish Barca lad have similar 'headless chicken' traits but they have the extra luck or adaptability to have made it at a good level.

I'm sure he'll have a decent career with the right attitude and a bit of luck.

As Besic is mentioned another player who looked like he had everything needed for a top class DCM but he lacked the brains. He made some stupid decisions trying to show off which in that position you just can't do.

Then injuries appear to have taken away his pace and we are left with a lesser player who still needs to mature and improve his reading of the game.

He's 50:50 for me to still make it in the Premier league so worth keeping for now but he's got a lot to prove for both fitness and using not loosing his head.

Bit harsh on Walcott who's been a consistent PL performer when fit and has brought an extra threat to our play

If we are to aspire to challenge those top 6 clubs there needs to be a ruthless nature about Everton and Everton's recruitment.

Let's not lose sleep over young players that end up down the leagues because there are not good enough!

Yes, I read his hamstrings still an issue, but he's playing! On current form better than all our Def MDF players except Gana!

Regards Henen, he flatters to deceive. He should be around the 1st team squad by now but isn't; he wanted to move in the summer & was bragging about it but it fell through! Egg on face job! I would say goodbye! Plenty better Sambou & Hornsby for starters!!
