To be fair, I doubt Sunderland would want him
He's not been at Everton for 9 years out of loyalty. I've not heard of one club that's been in for him despite the players we've had to sell over the years
Teams want more than just a decent shot stopper
Every other aspect of his game is poor
He has no presence, he creates panic as soon as the ball is put into our penalty area and his attempts at dealing with crosses is comical
Unfortunately the Everton fans have blown so much smoke up his backside that he thinks he can do no wrong.

@louis_john99222 @greenallefc Podcasts in inverted commas has made me laugh here.

@Mikeado @greenallefc I wasn't worked up and we had a conversation. It was used by "Podcasts" and "Fan Pages" to neg the Fanbase (neg get clicks)

@louis_john99222 @greenallefc It's really not. The OP was (is?) Pro-Moyes generally. Its an objective measure of how the team has performed, looking at two metrics. It's nothing to get worked up about.
English

@Mikeado @greenallefc Because it's a neg post because Moyes isn't cool or doesn't have a foreign Name.

@louis_john99222 @greenallefc It's a way of looking at things, one of many different ways. I don't understand why people get so vexed by it. If you don't think it's worthwhile, just ignore it?

@billymooreAPBD @lovelystuff1878 He's right though isn't he. Chasing vulnerable people around with a camera for a bit of clout on the internet. It's a grim old way to earn a living that. Sad man.

@jacksdiningroom Grab lunch at Hotel Du Cap, brother. Elite setup

@gcooney93 This is the thing though, it's not really balanced at all. One left back (who is a centre mid by trade), no proper holding midfielder, not much depth at number 10

For all the fall-out, this is the balanced and ego-deaf selection that I think makes Tuchel a good choice as England manager

@luke_garbutt How do you know that Dan Burn brings a calm authority in the camp?
English

People need to realise that Henderson & Burn aren’t there purely for technical output — it’s about leadership.
Henderson’s the ultimate pro who binds the group, sets standards & mentors the young ones. Burn brings that presence & calm authority in camp. #ThreeLions 🦁

@jackoefc27 Why are you saying it again, then? It was a boring thing to say first time round.

Said a few weeks back, he’s bad news off the field unfortunately grealish but no matter what he does or what’s he’s involved in he’ll always be Daveys blue eye and get away with it.
He’s already cost 13m in wages + the loan fee and people think another 30/40m + wages is ok 👎🏻

@moyoslaboratory He's the best Centre Half in the country by a million miles. If he's fit. He plays.
Absolute no brainer in a 26 man squad.

My England World Cup Squad
No - Foden, Palmer, Eze, Gibbs-White
Yes - Toney, Maguire, Trent, Garner
Rough rationale - If we're using Tuchels 4-2-3-1 as a base, and trying to optimise around Kane, then I think this is the best way to build.
Kane needs space when he drops deeper and the best way to ensure this is to have more disciplined nominal wide players to stretch the pitch. (Saka, Gordon). He needs pace around him and runs in behind. (Gordon, Rashford, Madueke).
When we want to encourage this dropping we can only have one '10' on the pitch or they will be too crowded.
When he drops and sprays the ball out wide, and said fast players then cross the ball, we need to have a presence in the box still and Bellingham and Rogers have the best physical profiles of the 10s to dovetail with him here.
As a sub, Toney is the most similar profile to Kane that we have and although its our biggest drop off, I think it makes sense to take him on the basis of resting Kane at the end of games if we can whilst still keeping the same structure. He's also good at penalties.
Rice and Anderson can both play '6' and '8' and they are the top 2 for both roles. If one were to get injured Mainoo and Wharton are progressors of the ball but in different ways. Mainoo can carry (good v high press), Wharton passes (good v low block). If both Rice and Anderson were injured though, I wouldn't be comfortable playing them together. I think Garner would be the backup to one of them in more of an enforcer type role.
With Whites injury I think Trent should go as the backup to James, Livramento should go as the backup for both fullback positions. Maguire should come for his heading ability in both boxes. Coming on for the last 20 minutes both when we need to defend or we need to score, hes really valuable here.
