Carsley was a better defensive midfielder by some considerable distance, he provided far better protection to his back four, well, in a 4-5-1 he did at least.

Carsley was a better defensive midfielder by some considerable distance, he provided far better protection to his back four, well, in a 4-5-1 he did at least.
There is a reason why strikers tend to cost more than left backs though, and if you believe the statistics Coleman provided greater defensive protection at right back.
Baines is ace, but I'd...
Behind the striker. Can't be arsed having a 15 hour argument on it, so I'll say my reasons and leave it at that.
I don't rate him all that much in CM, and certainly not in DCM. Arteta, Carsley and...
I'd be prepared to use Baines in a deal to buy Rooney.
Whether it be an extra 60, 90 or 120 million, it's still going to have to be spent on Everton before it can make no difference.
No, I've never said that it will all go on players, but it will all go on the club, giving us far more room to manoeuvre in the transfer market.
Yes, the existence of this new TV deal is just one big conspiracy theory.
Sound, so we can look forward to us signing some players then, and they will have to be pretty damn good players to go through 120 million in three years.
Just as long as we agree that the extra 30million a year will have to be spent before it can make 'no difference'.
I don't think that has been established to be honest, and I can't see the other operating costs increasing by an extra 30 million pound a year. If it does then serious questions would have to be...
We will spend it, what on remains to be seen. I just think we should be a little bit more demanding and expectant, rather than providing Kenwright with excuses as to why it shouldn't go on squad...
This is all true, but it absolutely in no way negates the fact that Everton will soon have an awful lot more money available to spend.
Should sell him for about 1.5 - 2 million. Decent profit.
I have been stating the 120million figure that Brenden has referred to for some time, I've just been stating lower figures because whether it be an extra 20, 30, or 40 million a season, it's still a...
We've been through this mate. Whether other clubs are getting it or not, Everton still have to spend the extra money that we will be receiving. So lets spend it.
I'm not sure tbh, think it might have been about 4 or 5 million a year before we renegotiated the rate this year.
I'm not saying that all the extra cash will go on the playing squad, but if an...
Get rid.
Even if it's all hype (which I don't think it is), and the extra 40million turns out to be an extra 20million, that's an extra 60million coming our way over the next 3 years. That is a massive...
Fair enough mate, I don't think what you are saying is outlandish by any means, but people have been saying that for years, and the boom keeps on going.
We don't have a load of debt to pay off. The overdraft was brought under control during the Arteta Summer.
Our long-term debt is small by comparison and completely under control, in fact I think...
As long as there are separate companies and competition between them, then the scenario you state will remain unlikely. They need to bid high in order to make sure that they get a slice of the pie,...
What makes you say that?
It wouldn't even make sense to do that.
Not when you read about the absolutely massive advertising revenues that the bid winners receive, and how the media companies aren't even making a profit from their advertising, and are instead using...
It depends on where a club finishes etc. And nobody is entirely sure how much all the individual foreign TV deals have made, but they won't have been cheap!
Everyone apart from Everton.
In which case we really aught to be buying players at the higher end of the market, none of this "Oooh, he costs 15 million so it would be beyond us" nonsense.
In fact, we should try and buy...
