We have a good squad and if we're going to improve, we have to improve the first 11. That means signing world-class players, or those that have the potential to be world-class. What did A Madrid sign Aguero for? £16m. We spent £28m on Lukaku who is not world-class and never will be. The only way we will improve us enough to get into the top 4 is to reach those players before anyone signs them. Ronaldo only cost Man Utd £12m, Aguero cost A Madrid £16m. We spent £15m on Fellaini! As ridiculous as it may sound, we need to find these players before anyone else does. Pienaars, McGeadys and Mirallas' need to be replaced into a first 11 that has at least 2/3 world-class players that push us into the top 3/4 and then and only then will things change.

yes. I did. I can see natural first touch, skill, dribbling, pace, and finishing ability when I see it. If Martinez was serious with his comments about everyone having to earn their place, McAleny would be in the first-team due to all those abilities instead of Lukaku. If you cannot see McAleny's skill and touch and class, then sorry mate, you either have played football but have no skill, or you just have never played football. :)

Is this a @Moomin style wind up?
 
Rooney, threw his dummy out of his pram, when he was leaving. Stones seems to have more class. Also we're in such a better place now. The club was basically, broke back then. Bent and Cahill, are only signings for under £2 million, some how it worked. The Rooney deal probably saved us over the next few seasons.
We have to be honest, if Chelsea want him as bad as the papers are saying he'll go. If Utd and City want him too, the money will get silly. Only good thing will be we'll get a lot of money for him. Spending it correctly will be the problem. Roberto, isn't the best when it comes to buying defenders.

But Kone was a triumph?

Galloway looks excellent so far and Martinez also attempted to buy Stones suggesting he has a pretty good eye for young, ball playing defenders at least.

They were already world-class. That's why Man Utd's players begged SAF to sign Ronaldo after a friendy, and that's why Messi plays for Barcelona. It doesn't take a football fan genius to see their ability when they're 16/17/18, ala Barkley, at a young age, like Rooney too who scored a 35-yard free-kick half-volley against Tottenham when he was 15, Lukaku has done nothing like that. Mourinho was happy to get rid of him.....he didn't even sign him....he signs skilful players like Willian. That's my point. Not looking for a fight, and I hope Lukaku becomes a monster, but I can't just see it happening.

Where did you mention their already being world class in your original post? They have improved as they got older.

There's a strong argument that you're talking nonsense, not just here but in other posts too. If I get this right you expect Everton to compete with the leading lights in world football to sign the best 14/15 year olds on the basis that they may develop and become world class?

We can't compete with these clubs. So, Ronaldo cost £12m. He wouldn't have joined anyone but a top tier side such as Man Utd.

We are shopping in a market that doesn't include your world class players I'm afraid; they're premium buys for premium clubs.

PS - what the Hibbert is a free-kick half-volley? and he was 15? No, no, no, no, no.

Quit with the nonce stuff
Sorry lads, there will be no immediate transfers.
I have just seen contract nonce in asda.
 
So we still need a defender so Evans deal now off or what, we still need a playmaker and a backup striker. So we should buy two and get 2 loans in.
