da gbg bet： The Liverpool Echo posted an article looking at the future of six Everton players with expiring contracts, and Toffees fans were quick to give their views on Twitter – the majority would only keep one of them.
da apostebet： Following a tough week for the Merseyside outfit, the local publication decided to take a look at those individuals whose deals are running down at Goodison Park and will expire within the next 18 months.
The half-a-dozen players listed were Leighton Baines, Oumar Niasse, Maarten Stekelenburg, Cuco Martina, Theo Walcott and Morgan Schneiderlin.
Niasse and Martina are already reported to be up for sale so it’s no surprise that supporters wouldn’t want to keep those two, while they’ve barely seen the Dutch goalkeeper who has made 26 appearances for them in three-and-a-half years.
Meanwhile, both Walcott and Schneiderlin have failed to live up to expectations on Merseyside and have been criticised for their performances this season, and they were two of the players who were really poor in the second half of the defeat against Liverpool at the weekend.

That leaves Baines, who is vice-captain of the Toffees and has played for them since 2007.
He may be 35 years of age and behind Lucas Digne in the pecking order for the left-back spot, but he would be the only one many of the following Goodison faithful would keep.
Baines may be a huge fans’ favourite, but not everyone allowed sentiment to get in the way when it came to deciding what they would do with the former Wigan Athletic man.

Indeed one said that not getting rid of older players like this is one of the reasons they’ve never progressed, while another said “we are not a retirement home”.
They are probably right, but it doesn’t hide the fact that it will be a sad day when Baines does eventually leave Everton.
