We've signed a 32 year old jarg Phil Jagielka for nearly a third of what we received for John Stones.

A Jargielka if you will.
You don't get it do you buy all means Stones was a good price but cant you see we have had to sell to buy- the 100 million pound war chest its in Bills imagination like the kings Dock!
 
Jagielka wont be misses at all. He's a nothing player. No aerial ability, no real passing ability. He got a good block in now and then and that's about it.

Laughable, in his prime he was one of the best in the prem and was rightly an England international at two major tournaments. He saved us many times, off the top of my head in Moyes' last Anfield Derby and in the only Anfield Derby Martinez didn't have us nationally embarrassed in (not his goal, his defending was brilliant that day).

Jagielka wouldn't have had to shoulder the captaincy if Martinez had brought in any players with a shred of character whatsoever. Instead we went from a team of captains Neville Cahill Carsley Jagielka Arteta Distin even Naismith or Jelavic to one that could barely find someone to take the armband.

If there's a leadership vacuum at Everton, blame no one but Martinez. Besic was the only player with any grit that he bought in.

I'd say Barry was a player with grit...but outside him, you're right.
Martinez was a very poor manager
 
Can't see a problem with today's antics, £40m (after paying Barnsley) for a yet unproven young player, he might become great, might become Rodwell, we just don't really know. We've replaced him with a proven premier league defender, who'll make our defence much more solid, ok it's only for 2 years, but 2 years ago we would never have imagined Stones being a £50m player, we'll probably have someone else ready to be brought in (Holgate?).
