And also added Gareth Barry, James McCarthy, Ross Barkley, John Stones and Deulofeu. He changed virtually half the team, far from just adding Lukaku.

...built. And then he rode his fortune and was found out. If say the calibre of Carlo had come in I'm sure we're talking some sort of title with Lukaku and a James type signing. It still stands as the most recent opportunity lost for a proper tilt. This doesn't mean that Moyes gets a reprieve...

Well said Mr Murphy.

Absolutely. The further we got from the Moyes-era, the worse we played under Martinez. It became obvious pretty quickly how bad he was at organizing a team, our form started falling off already in the latter end of his first season.

This, totally.

...side in Moyes’ final season played some fantastic football and finished on 62 points. Martinez came in, built on that Moyes side by adding Lukaku. The world class striker Moyes was always searching for. I do agree that Martinez played more exciting football. But it wasn’t far better and...

Martinez's single masterstroke was Lukaku. Everton weren't going great at start of season until he arrived on deadline day with 3 draws (two 0-0s) plus Stevenage taking us to ET in LC. His subsequent forward signings were poor.

April 2014 this thread started, what a time we've been through . Martinez was the manager and we signed Lukaku, we played in Europe and thought we'd got it made.....wow.

He loved Cole Palmer mate. Mcatee ( & the others ).are at an age they want regular 1st footie. He has proven quality players in front of him at City ( like Salah , Debruyne & Lukaku at Chelsea ) , plus any new signings they make. So we'll see soon enough.

People often cite clubs having to sell homegrown products as a negative aspect of PSR, but it looks like that could be a positive with clubs less likely to hoard young players. Prior to that you'd have the bigger clubs sitting on young talent, not playing them, but also tying them down to long...

...of it though as if City made it known he's available you'd have a host of clubs after him both here and abroad. Just don't see any chance but then again still shocked Delap ended up at Ipswich and going back a few years still shocked we got Lukaku after his two loan seasons proving how good...

There was a number of times under Moyes we were on the cusp and that Lukaku type signing didn’t come. As soon as he left then Kenwright lashes out 30 mill on Lukaku for Martinez. Would Moyes have moved aside Fellaini and allowed Barkley to play there, or trusted Stones at CB so quickly? Who...

Martinez also produced some of the most mind numbingly football I have ever seen. If Moyes didn't move and we gave him the Martinez squad I think we would genuinely have challenged for the title that year. 5th was a massive under performance.

...if you turn out the exact same results that the bloke saying knife to a gunfight does. We got 72 points because a very good Moyes squad had Lukaku McCarthy and Barry added to it alongside Stones and Barkley. The fact we then came 11th twice with that group shows that just saying you’re...

Imagine having a Lukaku during Moyes era?

Barry and lukaku ?

and with +45 goal difference :D

He done that with David Moyes defence.

90 in 1985 is the record my son and don't give me that PL guff, or would you say that Lukaku is our record goalscorer? Comparing Senór Phenomenal to our greatest ever manager is an insult. God bless.
