James Garner, the young midfielder who was heavily linked to Everton before the club signed Carlos Alcaraz, has sparked controversy with a candid outburst about his failed transfer to the Toffees.
In an interview with a local radio station, Garner expressed his frustration and disappointment at being courted by Everton only to be seemingly overlooked in favor of Alcaraz.
“Why sign me if they had no plans to play me?” Garner asked rhetorically. “I was told I was a key target for the club, but it seems like they had other plans all along.”
Garner’s comments have sparked a heated debate among Everton fans, with some sympathizing with the young player’s frustrations while others have criticized him for speaking out.
While Garner’s outburst may have been unguarded, it has also shed light on the complexities of the transfer process and the often-delicate negotiations that take place between clubs and players.
Everton has yet to respond officially to Garner’s comments, but it’s clear that the young midfielder’s words have struck a chord and will likely continue to generate discussion in the days to come.
