I feel weird with this link, as I genuinely have no real opinion of it, I nothing it. He was one of the reasons why Everton stayed up last year, but at the same time has been really out of form this season, with the massive caveat that he has been under the management of Frank Lampard which isn't going to be great for ones development.
At the end of the day, he's a 21 year old who has shown already he has the capability to play in the Premier League at a high level, and i'd 100% put faith in Eddie to turn him into a really effective player. I certainly don't see why some are so passionately against signing him, other then the fact he looks a bit odd and can be a bit of a shithouse
