Everton Summer transfers 2021

He was taking us backwards. No doubt his first season, I thought we played the best football in the league. Sunderland game cost us top 4. After that we went backwards, and quick.

He couldn't operate with a team sullenly in 'revolt'....a situation repeated since his departure.

Why are you using two different types of ways of calculating spending as a comparison?

Whichever you cut it, Martinez spent vastly less than Koeman.

Don't have much of an opinion on this, although I do seem to remember that it was under Benitez that this lad looked really good, but seems to have dropped under the radar since Bruce came in

He hardly played under Benitez.

Broke through under him didnt he, then suffered a serious knee injury...

Welcome to Everton.

He hardly played under Benitez.

He had 7 or 8 very good games and then got injured. He was the one Newcastle player I thought Benitez would go for.

He still bought crap though. He bought 17 players in and only 4 of them were any good (Lukaku, Barry, Mccarthy and you could argue deulofeu).

He was also backed to the hilt considering what we were like back then. We spent 30m on a striker with kenwright in charge! I nearly fainted when that happened.

I agree about the lack of goals/assists. I'm hoping Gray could do quite well but we really need a RB who can contribute.

Doubt it, in his five seasons where he actually got game time at Leicester he registered 10 league goals in 133 games. A goal every 13 games. His best goal scoring season was 4 in 34 league games for them. The other 4 seasons he got 0, 3, 2 and 1 league goal. In those five seasons he played 30 games or over in three of them and over 20 on another. He’s a sporadic goal threat.

Net profit from RM's time here on players.

Back to talking about RM. This place has gone to the dogs . Cant wait to have the WH fans in here next week to complete the set

It started going downhill with a shambolic pre-season before the 2014/15 season - the opening two games against leicester and arsenal we were by far the better side and should have won at a canter - unfortunately we hadn’t trained properly and so were blowing out of our backsides from the hour mark and drew both.

I remember distin having a fall out with martinez about the training regime or lack of and being banished - all of the professionalism of the moyes era was quickly lost and we drifted

Swapping our gash for Newcastles gash, be the most pointless move
