Players we were convinced would be Great Signings In Past Transfer Threads

[larbert toffee]

And the Blackpool Mickey Walsh.....brother of your mate Steve, Eggs.

Bought on the strength of scoring Goal Of The Season on MOTD.

A striker who never scored a goal for us

I remember that goal, a typical Everton story that, also the fact 40 odd years later we signed his brother who was the next best thing at finding superstars, what a dud he turned out as well.

I was going to say James Beattie, but he was always going to be crap.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Ginola

 

[Bluebonic]

Olivier Dacourt, marco Materazzi, shandy van der meyde, james vaughan, Barkley, the list is very long and quite depressing.

 

[BernieH]

Juan Mata

 

[lancs blue]

Muller

 

[flibbyflob]

Paul Dickov

Alan Biley, after his debut, thought he was going to be the king of Goodison. But no.

 

[Tnezman]

Apostolos Vellios

James vaughan would of been great if it wasnt for injuries. His aptitude was never in question. I remember Moyes saying he had to try to calm him down before playing as he was so desperate to impress. I think i would rather have 5 of his type about now.
Good luck Jamo !!

I loved him mate, thought he was going to be the next big thing like you say, destroyed by injuries the poor aod!

..not sure Barkley or Vaughan were ‘signings’, I thought they came through the ranks but I might have read the thread wrong.

No, you’re right eggs, i just generalised as they were both players who looked like they would be sensations for us.

 

[marcus]

Norman Whiteside, James Beattie.

I think we bought Vaughan from Birmingham for about £1.5m when he was 16
