I remember that summer. Gravesen and Nyarko were the exciting signings. Shame about the latter.
Walters first summer - Materazzi, Dacourt, and Collins - there was a lot of expectation then too.
He was the creative player in a 3 at Forest, ever since he has been here he has been shoved in a 2 and made too play as a defensive midfielder which isn't his game imo.
Thing is at forest Garner was a brilliant set piece taker, what happened to that, I can only guess that two years of not doing any in training due to gravel throat.
To be fair, at the time, they WERE good times. We had the best manager in history, who had persuaded a genuine world-class player to sign. Allan was very highly regarded after being a key player for Napoli. It felt like we were breaking through...
Would prefer us just to get someone who can take a set piece. I find it hard to believe that no one in the Everton squad apart from McNeil can take a corner. Garner, Alcaraz Ndiaye should put some hours in on the training ground and get corners...
