Everton Hype Train 11

Holgate. The lad looked like he might make it at one point, signed a 12 year deal off the back of it and is now helping Sheff Utd concede 5 a week.

Good shout, we even voted him player of the year one time because we’d had such a dull and forgettable season that we needed to pretend there was a crumb of positivity and hope for the future somewhere.
 
Very harsh on Vaughan, was well on the way to being an absolutely cracking player and injuries just completely derailed him.

Believe we played Bolton on good Friday one year I'll say 2006; him and Anicheve started and he played boss then got an a stood through the boot, and burst a vein.

Fella was beyond unlucky.

Rodwell by contrast was first on the hype train; but he did come through as CB not a CM.
Fairs, ill take that back
 

Can pretty much build an 11 with just Koeman's overhyped and underperforming signings...
Sigurdsson
Bolasie
Keane
Klassen
Schneiderlin
Ashley Williams
Lookman
Onyekuru
Sandro Ramirez

Could even slot Dom in here for being overhyped given what he's turned out to be.
 
What happened to Rodwell?

Vaughan too after becoming youngest pl goalscorer for a while.

Moise Keane. Genuinely thought he would be great but nah.
Vaughan is still being overhyped by blues who let’s be honest, love their strikers to be headless chicken types who ‘put a shift in’.

James gets a pass over Branch and others because he didn’t get the time for the mask of endeavour to slip.

Give me Yakubu/ Lukaku’s economy of effort in the right areas any day of the week.
