Moyes Though ?

Felli and Billy were bought in different windows my Friend.

Ah...you're right...soz.

Funny how Bily is thought of as big money at £7.5 mil these days when that is really just peanuts these days.

Overall, we all know Moyes made several excellent buys on the cheap. Martinez has proved to be shrewd as well with several great signings under market value. Besic for example

As ive said countless times, in terms of squad building, with relatively smallish overall spending, they both did superb work, both had their Billy/Kone and Geri/Cahill.

Billy was closer to 10m, he was sold for around 4.5m, from memory.
 

No he bought Stones, Cahill, Jags, Martyn and Coleman for 60 grand, he also didn't have the kind of money at hand Martinez had to get Lukaku. Can't knock Moyes when he comes to players bought in for what he had to spend.
He also bought Pienaar, who is still one of the few that seem to understand how actual 11vs11 football matches work.
 
Knife to a gun fight.
ah the old quote he came out with before a City game.. Found it a newspaper report:

David Moyes has illustrated the task Everton face at Manchester City this afternoon by likening the challenge to ‘going into a gun fight with a knife’.

The next para in the newspaper report says what really matters though:
Everton have racked up an impressive sequence of four straight victories at the Etihad Stadium and won seven of their last eight games against City.

Hey at least Martinez tells us how great we are.
 
Moyes did a tremendous job growing us from a rubbish team to a quality one on almost no funds.
Martinez has done a tremendous job bringing in/through young talent and giving the kids responsibility to become men on the field.

However Moyes was substance over style, Martinez was style over substance.

Both have their positives and negatives, but right now Martinez has taken us backwards, Moyes took us forwards. But that is so far. May be that Martinez ultimately takes us forwards too, but he has a lot to work to do first.
 

He seems to be popping up all over the place now,and on our games as well,nice that he actually give credit to the team at everton academy wise etc,like he should do instead of taking credit himself
