From Despair To Where? I'd say Aluko was much the better footballer, you see the logic in the signing. Absolutely mystified why we ever bought Baldock.
Both were always way overpriced and a horrific waste of money.

Hound Tbf neither should have been anywhere near as bad as they were. They both had decent careers and knew the champ.
No time at all for Aluko. Yes a couple of ok cameos last year, but really nothing special. And 3 years of misery before that.
Baldock had his moments, just kept getting injured when we needed him. And we’d moved on from a style that suited him last year.

Absolute reverse for me. Aluko was always a nonsensical waste of a signing, a real aging show pony with no end product, while Baldock was a decent striker with a decent record.

Aluko joined us as a winger who had scored 19 in 98 at this level. Baldock joined us as a striker who had scored 33 in 136 at this level.
Would you rather have a winger who scores 1 in 5 or a striker who scores 1 in 4?
When you consider VFM then I think Aluko is the clear loser. He was our record signing and never nailed down a regular place in the side. But money to one side, Baldock was the worse player. If we were chasing a game and needed fresh legs, I would much rather have seen Aluko come on than Baldock.

Stranded If it isn't him, then he is very unfortunate to be living in an area policed by Greater Manchester Police, whilst being a 31 yo married international and Premier League footballer at the same time a second player meeting those criteria has been arrested and released on bail.

There is another Everton player who fits those criteria and has doubtless been asked a lot of difficult questions in the past few days.
That being said this just reinforces my belief that Paul and Snowball are complete dumbasses. We shouldn’t be talking about this until the trial is complete and those who identify the player have committed a serious criminal offence. Innuendo and “allegedly” are not defences. Would hope for the sake of justice that the moderators scrub both the conversations in their entirety.

I cut and pasted directly from a newspaper, and I think you will find that referring to a name as an alleged offender is not an offence.
There is no anonymity when suspected or charged with a sexual offence. There SHOULD be, but there isn't.
The attorney general, Michael Ellis QC, warned the public to be careful about discussing the case. “Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and everyone deserves a fair trial,” he told the Guardian.
“A misjudged tweet or post could have grave repercussions and interfere with a trial. It could mean a trial is delayed or at worst stopped because a fair trial isn’t possible – so I would caution everyone, don’t get in the way of justice being done.
“The attorney general’s office will monitor the situation and we will review any contempt of court allegations made to us.”
