James McCarthy

We are way past him now, some might say we have always, however, myself always liked him. But with his long list injury table outings it's long gone ever working out... Maybe a sweetener for Wilfred, will make it all a little sweeter!

Even when you factor in money - wasn’t he only 1.5 million?

1.7 if memory serves me right, and we only got him because Palace refused to pay his agent fees!

Eto'o - one of the best players of his generation. FFS. Thinking cap on lad.

Thank you for acknowledging my post ruined yours lol

Eto was a flop at Everton mate, I’m not talking about what he did when he was at Barcelona as that doesn’t matter.

Injuries just ruined the lad unfortunately.

Yobo was a hoof merchant. Utter turd. Quick but turd.

He 100% improved us at the time, we had those renown ballers Weir and Stubbs playing together before he joined. Was consistently liked with Wenger’s Arsenal hoofers as I remember.

Defo was a thing, gonna have to dig out a link, could be tricky though was early days for the tinterweb, Clubcall and Ceefax era.

Edit:- just realised Daves done that thing where he takes the thread of topic being utterly wrong and then disappears.

Hopefully Newcastle stick in a bid for James, start a bidding war with Palace,.

Yobo being linked with Arsenal, that one escaped me I must admit.

This was in 2014 after he left us but the link was prob due to their earlier interest which it seems was pre Internet. I’m pretty sure at the time of the links Henry was quoted as saying he was his toughest opponent in the league.

He was brilliant in Martinez’ first season. Him and Barry were a great partnership.

Imagine a manager who had just got his team relegated thinking it'd be a good idea to bring half the relegated team's starting xi with him to his new club which had ambitions of qualifying for the Champions League.

Yeah. Remember it. Wanted him before Everton made his loan permanent and was linked constantly over the following seasons http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/e/everton/4873048.stm

He's one outside 'the vast majority' I listed who fal between great signings and utter tripe.

Could have been a great signing bar honestly Moyes not using him properly after his first season and his injury..
