Most talented player we've had in the PL era?

[Swartzy]

If there was a most talented self-promoter poll he'd win it. Yapping away on local radio taking about himself in the third person.

His (thankfully) brief time here was sponsored by the Echo who propagated the myth he was a 'rolls-Royce' defender, when in reality he was a Reliant Robin who pointed a lot and depended on Richard Dunne doing all the work at CB...and some mugs fell for their utter codswallop.

File under 'F' for fraud.

hahaha I knew you'd love him...

The lad was fantastic, up there with just about any defender out there. He just spent too much time in the wrong league for people to pay attention.
The age he came to us and he stood out like age didn't matter. The Scottish 'Baresi' !!

Manny Fernandes.

 

[Leylo]

Drenthe.

Bed

FFS.

That'd make Richard Dunne the Irish Beckenbauer.

 

[Gilbert..]

Kanchelskis for destruction. Teams just couldnt handle his pace.

For pure talent? Anders limpar. Quickest feet. Clever. Weighted passes to perfection.
Rooney and rodriquez if talking pure talent aswell.

Manny Fernandes.

It's mad he didn't have a better career than he did, thought he looked class at times for us

 

[Tommy Chong]

Surprised there's been no Hibbert shout...

James Rodriguez for me, by a distance as well. Just gutted none of us got to see him in the flesh and he never got to hear goodison when he scored.

Agree with the Hibbert shout, and I'm more gutted that we never got to see him score a goal in the PL!

That one goal in his own testimonial match doesn't count... It wasn't a real riot. More like a Quiet Riot.

But seriously... Definitely Rooney by a mile. He's the only Everton player who could laugh and get turned on at the same time when watching the 'The Golden Girls'.

Manny's highlight reel in that ManU match is still one I'll go back and watch. Definition of boss that day.

[Dario Terracotta]

I always thought Anders Limpar was supremely talented.

 

[Bkk Andy]

Nev was world class in prem

He was world class pre-premier league but his peak had passed by the time the EPL started.

 

[Bkk Andy]

Leighton Baines was pretty good like too. Great dribbler, passer, crosser, shot, link up player. Only thing stopping him being the best in the world was physicality.

Baines was brilliant, no question about it, but he wasn't even the best English left back at the time.

 

[Toffeeforme]

Phil Neville. Just joking of course.
Hibbert

 

[Bluebonic]

Not really a contest if you include big Nev, he is on par with Bally, Dixie and Alex Young, we shall never see his like again.
