The Everton Forum • Re: Jake O'Brien

Whens his contract up? I think hes done. Probably overhyped to begin with and now lost maybe 100 games of his development. Hes never looked like he can defend and his attacking ability has been massively overstated too.

Maybe. But are we in a position financially or squad size to just fuck him off on a free, when a year at Preston might galvanise the lad into a useable asset or a saleable asset.

Invest a season of matches in the lad’s development, that’s all I’m saying. Shocking to say of a professional footballer of 24yo - but he’s never had that before.
