Best value for money signings - or home grown players since the late 1950's

Ffs haha

Seamus bloody coleman.

It's tough, from a business sense it's clearly John Stones, from a player playing for Everton (in my time) it's one of Arteta, Baines, Lescott, Pienaar, Cahill, Coleman or Jagielka.

Incredible that we got those 7 for £19.06m especially when Niasse and Mori cost 20+ million

Jeffers
Micheal ball

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Andy Gray,£250k,I thought we were mad to pay that as his knees were done, what a two years though, absolute steal for what he brought to us

 

[roy vernon]

Alan Ball, Johnny Morrissey and Tim Cahill

 

[Bluebonic]

Kevin Campbell lads, kept us up almost single handedly that season, I'll always love him for that!

 

[tim gabbott]

Moshi he cost nothing

 

[grandjoeblue]

For me in recent years Cahill, Arteta, Pienaar and Baines were very good value for money.

 

[polish]

Rooney?

 

[The old lady]

Nigel Martyn, Kevin Campbell.

Wasn't Peter Reid only about £60k too? Incredible deal!!!

Wasn't Peter Reid only about £60k too? Incredible deal!!!

...add to that Andy Gray £250k and Kevin Sheedy £100k.

Cahill and Arteta have to be seen as incredible value for money along with other shrewd purchases of the Moyes era. I'd include Tim Howard who was a decent keeper for most of his time and served the club very well for many years.

Obvious recent ones that spring to mind are Cahill and Coleman.

Could there be a case for Landon Donovon?

Played for us for ages on loan, and cost nothing.

For what he brought to the club and inspiration in many a dull game it has to be Cahill for me. Not the most technical player but had the bravery of Gray, tenacity of Parkinson and the love of the club that pretty much every player describes

Also I suppose a case could be made for Howard Kendall.
