Dymak
Player Valuation: £40m
I can understand the apprehension about Arteta, especially as my aversion to Silva was based on his utterly wank record in the Premier League, and yet Arteta has no record at all.
However, there are examples of other players that went straight into management and it was no surprise that they were successful. Pep had no record before taking over at Barca, Zidane had no record before taking over at Real Madrid. Even Dalglish at the RS.
I feel that Arteta is so highly rated as a coach that he's more likely to start off at a bigger club than Everton, rather than go even further below and then make his way up to Everton.
If there's any chance at all of us getting him, then I think we should do. He'd get the crowd going as well imo, especially if he had Cahill by his side.
