….i’d say Henry Newton. If I remember rightly, he came in for big money, high profile when Ball left but was a big disappointment.

David Johnson was a disaster going the other way as part of the deal too!

- he admitted he never wanted to come only because of the high wages he came ...
Best - Bob Latchford / Andre Kanchelskis / Super Kevin Campbell.
Worst - Mark Hughes / John Spencer / Neal Maupay.

Favourite was Daniel Amokachi. £3.5m Nigerian World Cup star? Get in. In my head he was going to score a billion goals. Still love him for that semi-final, though.
Worst was when we signed Solomon Rondon. It was like the opposite to the feeling I had when we signed Amokachi.

What a goal he scored at Highbury to propel us to another title.
Me and my bro were right in line with it.
Chipped Lukic I think. He also scored some other vital goals that season.
Whenever we win there you know we have a decent side.
Transfers that at the time excited me:
Kanchelskis, Lukaku, James.
Sadly only one of them was a roaring success as the other two left us far too quickly.
Three worst outgoing transfers in terms of how gutted I was at the time:
Pienaar, Rodwell, Richarlison.
Thankfully we were able to pick Pienaar back again, and the other two basically fell apart as soon as they left Everton, so it worked out for the best.
Three worst incoming transfers that at the time in no way excited me:
Maupay, McGeady, Westerveld - imagine signing a kin ex-Liverpool goalkeeper ffs, absolute desperation on that.
Kanchelskis, Lukaku, James.

I'll go with 3 signings as just the feelings of them as signings not how they turned out. (Cahill and Baines didn't make anyone amazingly excited as signings, so I'll exclude them.)
Kanchelskis (actual shock)
Lukaku (crazy we spent money and bought an actual striker)
Probably getting Beardsley from that lot when he was far from finsihed
Worst feelings from signings
Samways (Cup winners and on the up?)
Keane (30 mill for a Burnley CB)
Rooney return felt like stagnation when we should have been building for the future, tried to be upbeat about it but truly was never a good move.

Ah Jesus, I've just remembered we spent 2... million... quid on Vinny Samways.
Favourite: Andrei Kanchelskis, Kevin Campbell, James Rodriguez
Least Favourite: Rondon, Patterson, Maupay. Maupay, people said we didn't play to his strengths but he was incapable of controlling a 5 yard pass to him and rarely looked like even troubling the keeper. Genuinely one of the worst players I've ever watched at Goodison.

….not seen any shouts for Coleman, certainly a very good signing.
Rod Belfitt been mentioned & Bernie Wright,took some beating & Iain Wilson been mentioned - mine was James Beattie £8 million when Dean Ashton was down the road at Crewe for just one million ..... an Everton that moment - Beattie went a full season on scoring one pen .....
Chebes & Vaughn were miles better too ....
I took the question as meaning favourite at the time rather than what they went on to do.
We've had worse signings than the ones I called out but I was hopeful at the time. Gbamin, Tosun, Bolasie etc
