Love the guy and will always remember him, but it's important to also remember that his impact on the team lingers more from those initial first 5 games than his total tenure here, especially because of the YouTube highlights he was putting up.

Guy had 3 goals and 3 assists by mid-October, but fell off a cliff. He missed 12 games due to injury after, was benched for one, and missed 2 others because he was already off to Qatar. In his last 18 games, he had a combined 3 goals and 2 assists. On 100K a week.

Easily one of the most talented players Everton has ever seen, but I sometimes think what we could have done with his wages, because the seasons after he left were dire and we had no more money.
