Everton Royal Blue podcast - Will Bolasie be missed? The Holgate conundrum and are Everton's players listening anymore?.Mori started the opening two league games of the season but was restricted to a bit-part role following the arrival of Ashley Williams.īut the 25-year-old played in Everton’s last win against West Ham in October, before being drafted into a back three against Chelsea in November and was preferred ahead of captain Phil Jagielka last weekend.
The defender’s Goodison future was thrown into doubt earlier in the season when he told media in Argentina: “If I don’t play I will look for a way out.” So the math is still the same-right now, we have Pau, Albiol, Mandi and Cuenca if Pau were to leave for big bucks, we’d be looking to invest in a new central defender.įarewell Funes, good luck, don’t call us, we won’t call you.Ramiro Funes Mori wants to stay and fight for his place at Everton. Yes, Funes leaving means one less CB but if Pau left he was never going to start anyhow-that much was clear. One we let get away.ĭoes Funes Mori’s departure mean we’re more confident about keeping Pau Torres? Not really. Still only 30, he has had a pretty good career with Eibar, Newcastle and Alavés.
RAMIRO FUNES MORI CURRENT TEAMS FREE
Don’t remember him? He was the young French center-back that Villarreal developed in the 2011-14 seasons but let him leave on a free transfer. In an odd twist of fate, news comes today that Alavés have today signed Florian Lejeune from Newcastle. He leaves with a Europa League medal (he looked like he was trying slightly too hard to celebrate, didn’t he? And wearing his shirt back-to-front? Awkward). And decent was the least we were hoping for, spending almost €9m on him. I’ll mostly remember him for the blunders and clumsy jumps, but he did put in some decent shifts-just nothing any better than that. I can’t imagine any Villarreal fans are going to miss him he wasn’t awful, in fact sometimes (especially under Emery late last season) was decent, but you always had the feeling that a misstep or a blunder might be only a second or two away. It was pretty much an open secret he was leaving, and the wording of the official club comminiqué sort of reflects that-terse, brief thanks, but see ya. Unai Emery evidently wasn’t impressed with him either he saw only 700 minutes of La Liga action in 2020-21.
RAMIRO FUNES MORI CURRENT TEAMS PLUS
Funes Mori was given the chance to succeed, and he didn’t really take it-not only did he have 15 (!) yellow cards in 2018-19, but even though Javi Calleja relied on him that season, the next year, the emergence of Pau Torres, plus an Achilles tendon problem once the pandemic-suspended season resumed, meant that he played in only 7 league matches. We hoped for more, we didn’t get it.įunes Mori featured a lot in his first season with Villarreal-31 matches in the league plus 10 in the Europa League-but of course, that was the 2018-19 season when we flirted with relegation. Funes Mori was a controversial signing to begin with-his time at Everton didn’t exactly indicate he was a calm presence in the back line. We apparently transferred him for the amount of his transfer fee left to be amortized (€2.2m).
The Argentine defender, signed from Everton three summers ago, has left to join.Al-Nassr FC in Saudi Arabia. Well, we won’t have Ramiro Funes Mori as a member of Villarreal’s 2021-22 squad.
