Yes mate, that is a crazy idea.

Change our system that's worked so well for one player? It's a team game.

If that one player gets the goals needed to get us where we want to be, surely it would be worth it?

And who says the system needs to change? It could just need a bit of tweaking?

Ten mill on him, 18 on bony. Kone and traore as back up. Nais, Barkley mirrallas behind with McCarthy holding.

Howard
Coleman stones jags baines
McCarthy
Mirrallas Barkley nais/mcgeady
Bony Chico
Boss team

As if haha

That would stop the full backs being involved as much

Think you're oversimplifying it a bit. Hernandez is at his best playing off someone else, so really we'd need 2 strikers.

If you have two strikers you struggle to dominate the ball in midfield and maintain possession. That is Roberto's core philosophy.

We play a similar style of play to Barcelona, right?

Messi is on the same level (strength wise) as Hernandez.

Why do we need a Lukaku/Bony/2m walking brick wall as our striker?

Sick of saying this but how on earth would he fit into our style of play? We play one striker, who needs a physical presence.

Or intelligent movement and touches. Naismith proved strength can be immaterial to good link up play.

Bobby has been trying to add more 'through balls to feet' and 'incisive countering' to our repertoire to mix it up and hide our hand a little. The 'charge down the wing and cross' was getting a bit predictable.

I'd have him but not sure he is what we need.

The goalscorer that Goodison needs, but not the one it wants !

I'd snap their hands off!!

I honestly don't see what he can do that Naismith can't already....Infact, I think Naisy is the far superior player atm...

tbh if Kone is fit and ready for next season I wouldnt bother spending the 10 mill..

Yes, i'd sell Kone for a million and spend 11 mill on a new striker.

Naismith would look out of place in a Mariachi band though.

ITK? Something your not telling us about Roberto's grand plan....Six new faces = Mariachi band....Sure would give the players a boost on the pitch...

Chicorito?

Woolly Blue · May 23, 2014

I'd be happy enough to see him in a Blue shirt, but maybe not so happy to pay 10 million for him.
Anyway, it's all a bit vague and tenous so really belongs in the jarg rumour thread at http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/the-summer-2014-everton-related-transfers-thread.67236

If 'owt substantial happens we'll re-open this
