I gotta feel Siggy is going to gel with something up front. Be it Richalison or Walcott. He's going to have options and that's what he needed last year.
I thought Coleman/Gerry had a shot if they had enough time together and kept a threat like Lukaku up top, but was not to be. The greatness in Baines/Pienaar was that they did what they did with little help from huge talent or big threats up front.
You're right on. Pienaar's downfall and later sale was a sad one as well. Part of my introduction to Everton was the Baines-Pienaar pairing at it's prime.
