Our best ever signing...

[Thetigerblue]

I was too young to understand Bally's greatness so I have to agree with the Nev calls.
The greatest goalie in the world at that time. I wonder when he was loaned out who actually knew how good he really was?

 

[blue61]

Who ever it is, @davek will hate them.

 

[Yorkie89]

Coleman as he is still playing and for 60k has been outstanding for us. Cahill probably gives him a run for his money though

Juan Mata, Witsel and Riquelme."

The good old days ...when " Witsel was ours !!!! " sigh

 

[roy vernon]

Who’s the greatest of them all? Little curly Alan Ball.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Ademola Lookman apparently.

 

[3rd Generation]

Peter Reid

 

[Toffeepot]

Either Tim Cahill or Cuco Martina, tough call

 

[Toffeepot]

All depends on your era I suppose, all time bets then obvs Dixie, Bally etc, best signing as in didn’t see it coming was Reidy and big Nev, Reidy was a wreck when we got him ( as was Andy Gray of course) and nobody expected him to make the impact he did. but for me Neville was the one, absolutely underwhelming signing, turned out to be possibly our second best ever player ( people will argue for Bally, but Nev was world class for longer ( for Everton anyway).

I'm going to assume you mean Neville Southall and not Phil Neville

Andy gray has to be up there as the missing piece of the jigsaw in the eighties...

Scored important goals & formed a formidable partnership with Graeme sharp...

A great time to be an Everton supporter, we could do with a similar signing at this present time...

agree the affect he had on us was remarkable

 

[Badge1878]

I even took to Farrelly in the end

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

There have been many great signings and since the sixties I have been fortunate enough to personally witness, and I hope to see many more.
But the greatest signing was unquestionably William Ralph Dean.

 

[Naval Blue]

Without Big Nev, there was no trophies in the 80's. He was that important

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Howard Kendall always said Big Nev was his best signing and I think he was the best.

Big Nev always jokingly replied ‘I had to be because of the rubbish you bought in front of me’

Both legends, one gone the other treated like dirt by the club.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Ibrahima Bakayoko

Until we realised he wasn’t as good as he was in Champ Manager.
