Sean Dyche can now cash in on £75k-a-week Everton dud, he’s only regressed

Everton are in desperate need of some additional funds, to save them from the fiscal nightmare they are currently living.

Having been driven into the ground by Farhad Moshiri’s numerous thoughtless endeavours, with a costly stadium draining them of precious funds otherwise scuppered on awful transfers and terrible managerial appointments, any boost to the coffers is richly welcomed.

Even if it means offloading some of their top talents, with the likes of Richarlison and Anthony Gordon both victims of this outlook.

Even Alex Iwobi, who was not quite on that same level, marked a big blow at the time for just a £22m exit.

So, with 90min now reporting of another star attracting Premier League interest, it would be easy to assume the Toffees are set to be ravaged yet again.

However, fortunately it is Ben Godfrey who is supposedly of interest to Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, seeking to add depth amidst their injury crises.

For once, Sean Dyche might actually be set to earn success in the market, sanctioning the exit of Carlo Ancelotti’s £20m acquisition in order to help aid the club’s battle to avoid a 12-point deduction.

How good was Ben Godfrey?

Whilst he starred when he was first brought in by the Legendary Italian, praised for his versatility and selflessness at the back, since then the 25-year-old has only regressed, having since fallen behind James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite and even Michael Keane in the pecking order.

His debut campaign, in which Everton found themselves sitting second in the league at Christmas, saw Godfrey feature 31 times, maintaining an 85% pass accuracy alongside 1.8 tackles and 3.5 clearances per game, via Sofascore.

Fast forward to modern-day, and the former Norwich City man has since regressed, making just ten league starts last term, seeing his pass accuracy drop to 66%, and only managing 2.4 clearances per game.

Given how in favour the £75k-per-week powerhouse was with Ancelotti, it is surprising to see him become so obsolete now at Goodison Park. His departure would be a welcome one for the financial side of things, but the sad admittance of his failure to live up to such immense potential.
