The 10 steps of how to turn every thread into a Moyes one is in full effect here.
The melt is gone, people need to pack up with bringing him up. I'm never typing his name again after this post. Forget about him, lets move on.
Back to business, I'm hoping McCarthy proves me wrong. I have been having fun calling him a crab this past few weeks but he gets my full support. As for the fee, the lad never asked for that, its done.

I think it was a very good deal. We splashed a bit but I dont mind cause we got good money in. Business totally compensated McC fee.
Very excited about this. Martinez knows what this lad is and what he can be.

Bravo sir. I admire your stance!
That being said, we both know this won't happen
You'll mention him at some point, and then I'll be there to STRIKE!

I have (based on no evidence) faith that Martinez will get the best out of him given time. A similar age and price tag to Fellaini when he arrived, who was hardly the finished article and more than a few were convinced he wouldn't make it, was a waste of money etc. That one turned out ok in the end.
Like everything else in life these days, people want everything to be just the way they think it should be and they want it like that right now. When did we all get so self centered and spoiled? I've been amazed at the attitude of many to Kone, Martinez and now McCarthy. How about we wait and see, get behind the manager and the team in the mean time and try our best not to act like a bunch of spoiled kids who haven't got their own way.
Agreed. Everyone should have the same opinion about everything and never, ever, criticise decisions even if they believe them to be wrong.
On talk sport this am Neil Warnock EFC have made some great transfer deals the signing of Mick McCarthy will be a good one! Other than that he went on to praise Jags as a model pro of the game! I like the guy he said Martinez will be glad to have Jags as he never had a defence at Wigan!

I disagree
I know it wasn't but I don't get the fact people are offended by differing opinions - particularly when they are entirely reasonable.
I don't rate Martinez as a manager so far in his career. He didn't improve Wigan in 4 years at the club. The style of football he promotes will succeed at Everton only with substantial funds to buy the sort of technical player. He won't get those funds and I don't believe the players he has bought in are anywhere near the quality we need. Lukaku, Deufelou (and to a lesser extent Barry) are exciting signings but if they are costing big money and only here for a year is that a sustainable strategy? I don't think it is.
I look forward to being proven wrong in every respect. Everton winning matches, playing exciting football is what we all want.
However we've all supported the club long enough to realise that our position is precarious. We get vastly outspent by all the clubs above us, and some below. It will only take one or two bad seasons for the club to enter a downward spiral.

Hard when you're asked to reduce the wage bill by about 25%.
And they won the Cup!
and the players were on Championship wages
and was losing his best players
and given the circumstances did well to keep them up for that long

Spot on this. Recently I think it stems from the media blitz around the departure of Moyes being a 'masive pair of shoes to fill' and that 'we've been successful' of late - therefore we needed a top European manager with a sparkling cv and glamorous name and a hatful of top signings "because we've got dat extra tv money now lid, and we're brewstered lid".
Well we haven't been successful and we haven't got that money because it'll never be released by the board who, in fact, will continue to claw money back in, never mind invest.
In short: people are deluded to begin with or have taken leave of their senses.
