Everton have had a decent season under the management of Ronald Koeman. However, the fans at Goodison Park are again left wondering why the club have not improved more in the goalkeeping department.

The Toffees have still not fully replaced American stopper Tim Howard, who spent 10 years at the club.

A year ago he said his goodbyes to the Everton faithful, with a move to MLS side Colorado Rapids on the horizon.

It came after a dip in form for the USA legend and the veteran left with his head held high from the club.

Now, one year on, he has posted an emotional tribute on his Twitter account.

He sent this message, as he looked back upon saying his goodbyes to a club he played over 400 games for, even scoring once:

Howard’s form toward the end of his Everton career certainly dipped, but his impact at the club cannot be overlooked.

Everton’s current goalkeeping options Joel Robles and Maarten Stekelenburg have left plenty to be desired and a player of Howard’s qualities would certainly be welcomed at Everton right now.
