These AI generated threads are going to replace Chico right? Right?!?
Gravesen and Materazzi were also excellent signingsWalter Smith's only good decision when he was here.
Bilic hardly played for Walter. Infact by the time Walter arrived, he didn’t play that many games in the rest of his career I don’t think. He must be up there with one of the worst signings we’ve ever made in terms of what was a big outlay at the time becoming us giving him away on a free just two years later, probably after having to pay him off too. Couldn’t believe it when he was linked with coming back as manager once like he was some kind of Everton legend. We may as well have gone the whole hog and got Danny Williamson in as his assistant.Walter was building the makings of a very good side - Dacoure, Materazzi, Collins, Hutchinson, Ferguson, Campbell, Bilic, Jeffers - but it fell apart a few months in with Big Dunc sold from out under him.
Had he been backed properly - and not been a pawn in a Hamperman's Ponzi scheme - I think we would have gone places. As it was, the only place we were going was the Endsleigh League.
Even with those players in the team we were rubbish.Walter was building the makings of a very good side - Dacoure, Materazzi, Collins, Hutchinson, Ferguson, Campbell, Bilic, Jeffers - but it fell apart a few months in with Big Dunc sold from out under him.

He might be the biggest disappointment as a signing. I remember him being great for Monaco against Man Utd in the Champions League and I was super excited to get him.Even with those players in the team we were rubbish.
The feller was notorious for playing boring football.
John Collins has to be one of the biggest wastes of money in Everton history BTW.

That was the Johnson era alloverReally talented lad, shame he was signed with Monopoly money and we had to move him on after a year
I was.
But he just stood about attempting to 'direct traffic'.
