Everton must regret the sale of “scary” stars

Everton host Bournemouth In the fourth round of FA Cup this weekend and then welcome Liverpool to Goodison Park in a key Premier league conflict.
If Toffaes had arrived in this compound in the form of two months ago, it is probably fair to say that a prevailing atmosphere would be darkness and anxiety.
David Moyes has changed that. Everton drives a winning streak in three games in the Premier League and rediscovering its offensive identity, putting a lot of space between itself and the cattle food.
A player who drives a new story forward? Iliman Ndiaye, quickly becoming a sensation in blue.
Iliman Ndiaye is Moyes’s main man
Everton signed ndiaye from Ligue 1 side of Marseille For a 15 million pound fee last summer and proved to be one of the most of the terrifying jobs in the past dysfunctional years, Shooting eight goals home Through his opening 26 appearances.
Stood out as a great light throughout the month of the Dyche campaign and is now achieved in each from Everton’s three victories under Moyes’s wing, with BBC Sport’s Oluwashina Ocelei Even saying “Everton’s performer this season.”
According to FBREF -uNDIAYE has been among the first 8% of the Premier League wings this season for successful download and the first 17% to fight 90, as well as the first 19% for the completion of passing.
Successful download is recorded when the player beat his opponent directly carrying the ball next to them, retaining possession.
The left side forward immediately established himself as the favorite of the fans, making a mark under Dyche’s wing and now blooms with Moyes on the forehead. The future is bright, and Friedkin’s group will desperately keep it in ranks in the coming years.
Interest is inevitable, but Everton will hope to strengthen their more stable conditions to avoid repeating Anthony Gordon sale.
When Everton sold Anthony Gordon
In January 2023. Things were not well in the blue half of Liverpool. Frank Lampard would be rejected from his manager after less than a year, with Everton 19. In the Premier League.
A week later, on the eve of Rok Day, Newcastle United would succeed in his struggle to sign Gordon, who forced his path from the club that gave him his senior debut, moving to Tyneside In a contract worth £ 45 million.
Before leaving, James Tarkowski hit Gordon’s help: “He was a different class. All the paper conversation and all the speculations, to be fair, just cracks. Whatever comes, it will happen, but I like to have it on my team. There is a reason why they are teams behind him.”
Boreham Wood Boss Luke Garrard He also welcomed Gordon for his “terrifying” talent and speed after one fastening of the FA Cup, which preceded the sale of the English wing, and many of Everton’s assurance knew that Gordon would be intended for a top role in football.
Well, he hit his progress and then some in St. James, now a Nine caps of Three Lions International and the recipient The Newcastle’s Player of the Year Award Last season.
Nidaya is a fantastic player, but he’s not at Gordon’s level yet, he’s not yet. Looking at players in the Premier League player this season, it is clear to see exactly why there was such outrage because of his decision to escape at the Goodison Park in that new phase.

It is interesting, however, NDiaye is not really surpassed on many fundamental measuring data, thanks to the combat and devoted nature of the Senegal wing.
But it is safe to say that Gordon, 23 years old, has grown into one of the most talented attackers in English football, who wanted some of the most impressive Premier League suits.
Ndiaye lacks a creative side with which he boasts his toon colleague, who is formed in a complete wing player. This is really reflected in Intriga of top clubs like LiverpoolGiven that Newcastle offered his one-time youth perspective, who left and joined Everton when he was 11 years old, at Anfield last summer, so they set care of PSR.
Ultimately, Newcastle managed to bypass the financial question, separating with some younger, less significant team members.
Believed in that Gordon’s value was determined to £ 75 millionThe figure of which Everton could have benefited immensely, that he had stayed longer in books.
Perhaps, for example, if Moyes was re -appointed to Dugout Goodison Park earlier, as Farhad Moshiri tried Before Scotland’s famous other spell with West Ham United, Gordon would not feel the need to move away.
He could stimulate his traits on Merseyside, stretching from an excellent £ 45 million fee that was sought for his sale and struck something into the balal of his current market value, enhancing Everton cause on the ground all the time.
Ndiaye is a great talent, but he has not yet reached such heights and the jury is largely that he will. According to football transfersCurrently, there are only £ 19 million worth of, a number of gradually increasing, month by month, but it remains about twice less valuable than Gordon with a grade of £ 38 million.
Ultimately, the conditions around Gordon’s sales mean that supporters betray appearances whenever they return to their former soil.
Indeed, love is not lost. However, we would better reject this under “what it might be”, because Everton could marry so much more on and off the field.
