Let's get him to sign for us while he's not of sane mind. It's our best chance.

9 of 12 of the teams that finished ahead of us conceded more than us though. I would definitely say attack wins you more points.

And yet the team that wins the league invariably scores the most goals and has the best attack. You obviously need both but attackers are much harder to find/replace.

I'd say Limpar was just as important that day and generally he was by far our most important player throughout the cup run (destroyed Norwich and Spurs and played the key passes against Utd). There is no way we win that without him because, in a similar way to Ndiaye, he was our only player who...

Most expensive defender is a similar amount too.

I agree, he was MOTM that day. Still think Joe would have swapped him for a prime Lineker in heart beat though.

Not the argument though is it. What if Lineker missed the same number of games? Would we even have finished 2nd?

That is the perceived wisdom. But what if Lineker had got injured and missed and equivalent number of games? A 40 goal a season striker dictates that entire tactical approach of a team. A goalie doesn't.

😂 That's rubbish. I love big nev but a 40 goal a season striker is way more important to a team than a goalie (even one as supernatural as big nev). The striker dictates the team entire tactics. A goalie can just be slotted in and out.

Who was more important, Southall or Lineker?

You didn't talk about him moving position. You said upgrading him. Which I think is a pretty dumb point. Upgrading NDiaye just doesn't even feature in a top 100 of things that need to be improved at Everton at the moment.

He's literally the only player in our team who can control a ball and beat a player. Midfielders and forwards are always more important than keepers and defenders.

I mean, that applies to every player on the planet bar the best in their position. Every fan would be happy with an upgrade. For us it would be monumentally stupid to seek to upgrade our best player when we have Michael Keane as our fourth centre half, no right back, no right wing, a starting...

He our most talented player by far. We need to sign about 15 top class players before we should even think about looking to up grade him. He can get more assists but he is playing in a team where he is pretty much the only creative option and he has no other high class attacking players around...

Damn it.

NDiaye is better.

James Rodriguez is on a completely different level to Grealish in terms of ability. They shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence.

I think he's ok but an actual right back will improve us going forward.

Sounds like your hedging your bets to me. You wanted to slate the signing but you don't want to be called out for it if he's successful.

He would be a big improvement. Garner is average and we have a centre half playing right back.
