Jamo Martinez
Player Valuation: £70m
Ok. I know. The number of false dawns we've seen over the last 3 decades is only comparable to the amount of genuine nightmares we've had to sweat through. And a skim through the match/Transfer/individual player threads since Silva's departure show just how far we still have to go.
However, and say it softly, I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels we have finally, definitively, turned that freakin' corner.
Ok. I know. We'll probably bump into the first defender but we might pick up the rebound and get a decent cross in. It may just be the Ancelotti buzz or the 'not Silva' Buzz. Then again, it might be changes which are tangible. Like a young defender broadly described as just not good enough on this site, now broadly touted as player of the season by many on the same site.
Or the young striker who before Silva left, had also been written off, and now has 7 goals in the last 10 games.
Ok. I know. It's Everton. I'm not new to this. We could very easily drop points against Palace. It would be the most predictable thing in the world. But, I'm now looking forward to the next match again. Instead of wishing there was an international break. It's still more hope than expectation, but with a bit of luck, patience, and sheer doggedness, the manager can cultuvate these green shoots and we can all enjoy watching something exciting Bloom.
Kevin Brock is 57 ffs.
