The Moshiri Years; A Litany of Wasted Millions

[Eggs]

Farhad Moshiri joined Everton in February ‘16 and the £millions wasted on personnel who took lots out but put little in is a testament to the failure of his tenure.

Players acquired for more than their worth, failed managers and coaches, Board members, DOFs, ordinary personnel on extraordinary contracts largely unable to shift. Failures significantly outweigh the successes, the shameful Moshiri years.

Thought it might be an idea to capture the litany of waste in a single thread;

J P Gbamin, purchased £25m, 5 year contract, played 6 games;

Oh good, another Moshiri thread

Ben Godfrey. £25m. Wouldn’t get a game for Portsmouth.

Baffling that you use the 1 player who's career was ruined by injury.

Nobody has any idea how he would have played for us and is probably the 1 unknown in the whole Moshiri era.

…absolutely agree

…absolutely agree

But I feel 1 of our biggest issues has been the appointment of very poor managers, which has cost us around 100million in compensation alone.

Which means having to hit the "reset" button every 12months.

Iwobi.....a poor man's Wilfred Zaha

 

[DanEFC92]

Bolasie, Tosun, Schneiderlin, Godfrey, Keane, Iwobi, Sigurdsson.

Mental.

That game Benitez started him in at Wolves.. looked like he’d never even watched a game of football, let alone played in one. Not a stretch to imagine he was going to be yet another dud tbh.

Tosun was probably the worst though, the guy wasn’t a Prem player in a million years.

Is it wrong of me to argue try and argue that Moshiri and Bill have done a brilliant job purely so that I can get at least 7 reactions and win the 1970 Charity Shield?

They'll all be fingers, which probably doesn't help.

At that point he hadnt played football for nearly 2 years.

I just think this 1 has gotta be chalked off to very bad luck.

When there are about 30 examples to use, this 1 seemed a weird 1 to start with.

But at the end of the day, he was a huge waste of money.

Hated him. He could play but just wasn’t arsed.

For me the alarm bells started to ring when we paid nearly £25 million for this donkey.
