Yannick Bolasie and Gylfi Sigurdsson are not having the best of seasons at Everton.
Bolasie has struggled to play consistently well this campaign, and has scored just one goal in 14 Premier League appearances for the Toffees.
The 28-year-old winger joined the Merseyside outfit from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £25 million.
The DR Congo international earns £75,000 per week as salary at Everton, acceding to Spotrac.com.
Everton legend Ratcliffe has suggested that Bolasie has not been deployed in the right position, and neither has 28-year-old Iceland international attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, who has scored four goals and provided three assists in 25 league starts for the Toffees this campaign.
Ratcliffe wrote in The Liverpool Echo: “Everton spent £25m on Bolasie yet have played him almost exclusively on the left hand side and, yes, he can do a job out there but he looks far more effective on the right.
“The club paid around £40m on Gylfi Sigurdsson and for 90% of the season, he’s been played out of position on the left wing.”
Fair point
Bolasie recently had a long-term injury, and it will take the DR Congo a while to get back to his best form.
The former Palace star, though, needs to be played in the right position, and so should former Tottenham Hotspur and Swansea City star Sigurdsson.
