Player Valuation: £15m
That was first year Hibbo ... which I mentioned before and you purposefully ignored because it weakens your argument and you'd rather pretend this was all these players in their prime rather than how they actually were in 2001.
There is no way if we signed players with stats similar to Radzinski and Gemmill that anyone here would be happy.
Agree to disagree I suppose. I know Dunc is a legend ... but he scored six goals in the league. Our top scorer in the league had six goals that year.
DCL had seven last year.
I'm not sure what is going on where you think this team was better ... they look fairly similar to me ... similar goals scored ... similar finish in the league ... the only difference is that some of those players (under Moyes) went on to become Everton favs. So you're remembering the 00's in general where these players contributed to some "okay times" ... not literally 2001 when they all sucked and we sucked and this group of players almost got relegated.
You're not comparing the 2001 version of those players to the players today because if so it would be a relatively even mix of two fairly crappy teams that can't score goals. I don't think 2001 players would help today's team or the other way around -- they're both sub par. The relevant part for me is that Moyes transformed the club from that terrible team (as terrible as today) to a decent one.
How many have failed since him? Seven? ... Nope .... Eleven. We turned it up to 11. More than 11 stints but 11 people (Unsworth and Dunc twice as caretakers ... maybe that doesn't count?). Let's keep doing the same thing and maybe we'll get different results?
