Absolutely - tough to imagine a better signing at a position that is absolutely the hardest to fill. Even Stones (realized profit) and Coleman - (Bargain at 6m let alone 60k) don't match.

Gordon Lee had my old man switching to Aberdeen, he only came back when Howard took over, though he thought Howard was too nice to manage Everton, sadly he died in 1983. I know what you mean about Catterick, but it's surely too early to make judgements, he's shaping up well but let's give it at least another 12 months. I thought Martinez was great in his first season and it wasn't Xmas 2015 that I finally realised he was mugging us off. If Robles keeps this form up until the summer would we really need another keeper? he'd be like a new signing lads!

I get your point, but when pointed out we are 4th in the 'pressing of other teams' Koeman wasn't satisfied. 4th best defence is a vast improvement on last season, but can you imagine if we'd had hart and Keane in our defence this season, our defence would be even better. There is always room for improvement. Both of these positions should be a priority come the summer.
Kevin Campbell was pound for pound our best signing in the last 30 years. It's not even close.

Nor is it a nursery were we need to treat players who aren't meeting the standards we expect as misbehaving children. We expect certain standards at this club and if players aren't meeting those standards I'm happy to see the manager give them stick. If they take the constructive criticism in their stride like most of the side currently have then brilliant, if they can't take it then I'm happy to see losers moved on because they don't belong here. We aren't a charity.

Nigel Martyn would also be in that category.
He is before my time so I can't judge. But given goals scored, potential profit, and Potential would be hard pressed to agree based upon what I have read. But would defer to opinions of those having been here longer. I am just a wool Yank after all!
Agree that you should always look to improve in everything in life.
On the flip side though; take out the Chelsea game and Bournemouth goals , we would have conceded 19. Only Spurs/Chelsea conceded less.
I think there is always room for improvement in life but the defence isnt so bad right now. Far from it.

The Campbell signing basically kept us up. That is the reason he is so well remembered, rather than profit, or talent.
Simply, if he didnt pitch up, chances are we would be looking forward to an away at Bristol City on Wednesday night.
Thanks for the history! I've only been following Everton since McBride came on loan. While I know bits and pieces - I certainly don't have the depth that others do

Nor do I!
Honestly who gives a toss if niasse was banished to the reserves and then loaned out. He's nowhere near good enough for everton and doesn't deserve a place in the squad. What a poor excuse to slate a man who has turned round a sinking ship. I'm very impressed with koeman. Love his adaptability and his high expectancy when it comes to hard work

Classic Dave. Use one example to form opinion ignoring all the other players he has got the best out of.

No one. And nor does Niasse. He was taking a quater of a million quid out of the clubs coffers every month. He earned £3m between now and last Jan when we signed. Anyone worrying about that is just using it as a stick to beat Koeman with, not that he'll be arsed either.
I hope Niasse scores every week and if he does, we get our money back, hes an utter hound of a player and I dont want such players at this club.
