Trust me, Morgan, we all feel that regret.

We all wish you had reconsidered, Morgan.

Spat the dummy twice then.

In a very crowded field, I'd confidently put forward Morgan Schneiderlin as my shout for the biggest waste of space to have played for Everton in the last 20 years.

If you're looking for an Everton player to do no more than go through the motions, put his team-mates under pressure with hospital passes, and generally provide the illusion that we are playing with one less than the opposition, then Schneiderlin was your man.

I cheered his departure with pure abandon. What a fraud.

Andrew (4),

”What a fraud” needs no more words, describes him perfectly.

Cheeky fucker

Who is Schneederlin? Oh right, that guy (pronounced - geeee)

He was among the 1st of bad recruitments (either the player being not good enough or unlucky with injuries) that have plagued us since the Koeman days:

Ashley Williams
Schneiderlin
Bolasie
Sandro Ramirez
Vlasic
Klaassen
Walcott
Tosun
Sigurdsson
Moise Kean
Iwobi
Gomes
Mina
Gbamin
Bernard

I am sure I have missed out on quite some more.

A list of expensive, infamous footballers who have now brought our club to its knees.

Yes, it is a shame we bought Schneiderlin but there's a wider issue in picking up players on a downward trajectory from a big club.

Although it feels like we're rubbing shoulders with the big boys again, it very rarely works out. We end up with an under-performer on big wages.

It is much better to pick up younger, less established players who are prepared to learn, work hard and consider Everton to be a step up in life. These don't quite feed the vanity as much as a big (ish) name but they can deliver more and for much longer, with lower wages to boot.

Unfortunately the Dele Alli is a worry, and it will be a challenge for him and Lampard to get him motivated enough to deliver.

I regret it as well.

The biggest fraud to ever wear an Everton shirt. But he still took the wages, the prick.

Yeah, I'm somewhat surprised this interview wasn't for Le'Queef. Schneid pas un co'equiopier! Il est merdique!

Gobmerde!!

Colin #13, very impressed with your command of the French language. If he was German we could say Gobscheise!

Cheers Neil

Or perhaps, Scheisenhausen would be more appropriate.

He is a big baby and trying to get digs in to the Everton fans.

Take responsibility for yourself and perform on the pitch and maybe you can get back to your big club again.

Well they can't all praise Everton when they go. Looking at our club, it's quite odd that many do.

I thought Schneiderlin was another example of players happy to hide at Everton. He invariably dropped deep and provided pointless link-up with centre-backs that achieved nothing but to give the opposition time to organise and rob us of a midfielder. And I thought that when he was being praised in the first season.

He's trying really hard to put the boot in, which is good news for him because he hasn't tried anything in years – the bone idle reptile.

Always been concerned about signing players dropping a level because they are clearly not good enough for the big time but, in their delusional little minds, they are!! A guaranteed recipe for not breaking sweat.

We should put an embargo on buying from clubs out of our league till we prove we are in their league.

Most remembered for feigning injury in that embarrassing FA Cup defeat to Liverpool's kids, allowing their player he should've been marking free rein to score.

Gobshite who constantly hid when the going got tough and one of the worst pound-for-pound signings we've ever made.

I don't remember a lot about him in an Everton shirt, which says a lot.

We were told by Jim White (who else) he was a Rolls-Royce of a player. I had doubts within the first few weeks of him joining us in January 2017. He was supposed to be the replacement for Gareth Barry. Never in the same league.

Dale (12), Come on, mate, a lot of us are Scousers on here... why couldn't you write like Bobby (11)? I understood every word and syllable of that charming post, brilliant Bobby.

Il est un cheeky fucker!

Sorry Gramps. I'm struggling to find my form and thought I'd go crude French. He's another one of those limousine riders talking out their ass would be the rough translation.

Parlez vous scouse?

Dale (25), I knew that, I was asking on behalf of my fellow Scousers, not boasting but I am multi language speaker of nearly every nation on Earth but I never try and show off about it.

Just playing it safe there, Gramps. I've occasionally gone over the top a little early. I know fuck all in other languages but I am a damn fine enterer of words into translators.

If I may go another round on that Schneid the Meff, we should have swerved him.

100% waste of £23 million or whatever it was!

Unfortunately there are many more.

The man was a fraud and a coward.

Off-topic (unless you allow for ex-players who get pissy). I think it is good to see the Lukaku problem coming up again.

He is ace when he gets one-on-one on centre-backs but he does go missing and has trouble imposing himself on the game.

Morgan the hider. Used to love hiding when a team mate needed an outlet. Slow as shit too. Proper waste of money!

That list of Ajax's at 8 is horrific! A who's who of nobodies, who cost us everything!

Dale @31,

Lukaku showed a complete lack of respect to the owner, the manager, the players and the fans. Chelsea spent huge money to bring him back and gave him a big 5-year contract and, 6 months later, he gives that ridiculous interview.

The idiot thinks he's too good for Everton! We've funded his millionaire lifestyle and got way less than 100% commitment in return.

A charlatan of a footballer.

Couldn't be more French if he tried. What a tit.

In my time as an Evertonian, he is the only player I would describe as a coward. We have had employed many second-rate specimens but he is and was spineless.

Dale #31, Lukaku is a conundrum. He was lost at United, then a phenomenon at Inter -- 80 goal involvements in 95 games and a Serie A title -- and now he's lost again at Chelsea. 7 touches in an entire game (one of them the kickoff) is a joke he will never live down.

Andy #36, agree. Morgan Sscneiderlin is the only Everton player for whom I have absolutely no respect.

Nothing to see or hear. Waste of space, from shitting on Southampton, to regretting being shit at Man Utd (one of the most faceless clubs since Ferguson left) the man's words mean nothing, as he is nothing of note, whichever club you talk about.

A complete bellwhiff of a player, and bell end of a human being.

Awful player.

Hard to believe we identified central midfield as an area to strengthen…then proceeded to spend £100 million on Schneiderlin, Klaassen, Gomes, Gbamin and Delph. Thank you to our esteemed Directors of Football and Ronald Koeman!!

However much Schneiderlin regrets signing for us, there are far more of us who regret us signing him!!

Did you pick up your wages without giving 100% in every game, Morgan?

And don't tell fucking lies.

A spineless, gutless fraud of a footballer, who was a total waste of space, for Everton.

Pathetic and a sad indictment of the period under Ronald Koeman, which has seen Everton continually spiral in terms of improving in form and success.

Like others, I loathed Schneiderlin at Everton. What I do find perplexing is how good he was at Southampton and what happened to that player?

It feels like so long since we've had a functional central midfield (Barry and McCarthy?)!!

Who's got a connection at L'Equipe? Someone may be interested in how a player gone so long ago has so many Everton fans remembering him so well.

Barry is the prototype of what we need now but with maybe a little more speed. A man who can read the game who has the respect of his fellow teammates.

“Bone Idle Reptile”

Well said Mr Rathbone #19

Ajay, spot on, it's frightening.

Any club employing those footballers would be in trouble.

Robert Tressell - I've said for years we need to avoid players who are on a "downward trajectory" myself. That's why I'm worried about Dele Alli. Just how motivated is he after leaving the Bright Lights of London?

Morgan was a waste of a player. Even in his first few months, when people on here were referring to him as a Rolls Royce player, I couldn't understand what they were seeing.

He was a midfielder who never played a forward pass!! Never!!!

Arsehole.

Well if he regretted joining us, he should have said so at the time, and refused to take any wages from us, or accept them and immediately donate them to charity.

It's amazing how someone supposedly regrets signing for us but is happy to accept the money that could have been better spent on someone better and happy to play for us.

Best to keep your gob shut, Morgan, stupid bugger.

Regret is a two way rue! (oh I've outdone meself there). 🤣🤣🤣

Pity all these comments couldn't be sent to him, see how he likes that and explains why he went missing in games, was a complete shithouse, and could only play crab football? A worse player than Per Krøldrup!!

Oui Je agreeyez. A complet merdemaison.

Morgan Fraudulin. Feeling is mutual. We all regret you joining us.

Glad he sodded off to a Mickey Mouse league where he finally found his level.

Let's face it, Man Utd were desperate to get rid of him. Him and Siggy were terrible buys and one of the main reasons why we are where we are. Incompetence by all concerned.

On his day, at his very best, he was a bang average, lazy, footballer and we signed him when he was past his best.
