Everton and Valencia are experiencing two very different starts to the 2017-18 season. Valencia finished 12th in the league last season, something way below the expected standards of a club who are always in and around the European qualification zone.
Despite having a good squad, the club was unable to get its act together and only managed to scramble through a struggling season and finished outside the top 10. However, it seems that the performance last season was nothing but a small blimp and the club is back to its winning ways this season. They have performed extremely well in the league so far and have effectively banished the last season’s blues.
They are off to a flying start in La Liga and are currently second in the table behind leaders Barcelona. They have won eight of their eleven matches and have already collected 27 points from a possible 33. With just four points separating them from Barcelona, there is talk beginning of a possible title charge.
They have been deadly while going forward, scoring 30 goals in their eleven league outings. A possible addition of Sandro to the attack will only help increase their variety of options up front and add more goal threat for the club.
As for Everton, the situation is worsening by the day. The club spent a fortune in the summer and was expected to fight for a spot in the top 6. A disastrous run of results left the club in the relegation zone as recently as two weeks back.
They are still suffering down in the 15th position and the club will soon have to hold their players accountable for the miserable performances this season.
It appears now that Valencia are ready to offer Sandro a chance to leave the struggling Merseyside club for a possible return to Spain where he made his name.
For Sandro, it will no doubt prove to be a chance to move away from the trouble brewing at Merseyside and hence it will be interesting to see if the 22-year old chooses to return to Spain after failing in England or digs in deep and challenges himself to succeed at Everton.
