If we can keep Carlo then James will stayThis! I'm old enough and lucky enough to have seen Alex Young a couple of times but sadly not at his peak! My Dad however who had been watching Everton since the 40's always said AY was the best he had ever seen in an Everton shirt! There are comparisons being made with Ball (my favourite player of all time), but he was a different type of player to James, Bally was up and down the pitch and ferociously hard working as well as being hugely talented! I know its only five games but James just sort of glides round having a positive impact on the game virtually every time he touches the ball!
If he's here for three years or more a) I think it will be because we have started winning stuff, and b) he'll be deservedly mentioned in future in the same terms as the Golden Vision and Bally!
To keep Carlo I reckon we will have to keep the promises Usmanov made to him at the meeting that never happened
Over to you Brands Moshiri and Usmanov
Keep your promises and Carlo and James will have us dining at the top table before we move into BMD
