Supporters of Everton have been discussing Leon Osman after the Liverpool Echo shared an article with quotes from the former Toffees player.

On Monday, the Liverpool Echo shared a Twitter post with a link to an article which quoted Osman from an interview with the Sportsman in which he revealed how he and Tony Hibbert departed the Toffees, leaving fans discussing the former duo.

To kick off this quiz of the goings-on with the Toffees last week, which Serie A goalkeeper was linked with a switch to the club?

Do you feel like Leon Osman and Tony Hibbert deserved better when they left Everton?

No, it wasn't that bad

Yes, was a bit classless

The reaction came after the retired midfielder explained that when he left Everton he was ‘sent a text telling him he would no longer be a Blues player’ (via Liverpool Echo).

The 38-year-old former Everton man went on to claim that he “would have liked to have had a nice match at Goodison” to say his goodbyes and was “hurt” for a little while by his departure (via Liverpool Echo), although some supporters were sure he did have a testimonial.

What do we think?

As some supporters suggested, the retired English midfielder did have a testimonial at Goodison Park, a 1-1 draw against Porto in 2014 (per BBC).

However, as he revealed in the interview that his time at the club came to an end after receiving a text over his future in the interview with the Sportsman, the handling of his departure still seems to have lacked class, which most fans recognised.
