Players you still can't believe played for us

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

He only played in the Champions league for about 6 years, won 2 serie A titles, and couple of cups and got 21 France caps, mate.

Wasn't that good imo. Yes he got some medals, but he himself wasn't that much of a superstar player. Just checked: After leaving us he played for 6 clubs in 9 years.

Ok mate, but he was a quality player, was key for Leeds when they got the Champions League semi final, and was good for Inter and Roma.

That's not exactly "amounting to nothing"

Limpar. How did we persuade Arsenal to sell him?!

Hard to believe now, but at the time I don't think there was a lot of difference between us and Arsenal, how things have changed! I'm not saying we were on a par with them, just that the gulf wasn't as massive as it now seems. Think they had 10 titles, we had 9, the last of theirs was 89/90, ours was 87. They had 6 FA Cups, we had 5..

NOBODY IMPROVES WHEN THEY LEAVE EVERTON FFS!

Yeah, I'd agree but I'm sure he was still one of their key players at the time and I was amazed when we got him on deadline day.

Idan Tal.

I remember the 'arl fella shouts on Bluekipper website and some fan told him (or so the story goes) to "fore-skin him!" when he was about to take on an opposition player. Still makes me laugh to this day.

Wasn't that bad tbh was Tal.

One more before I get my head down at work:

Espen Baarden

 

[Seathestars]

Garry Lineker, wow, just brilliant.

 

[Tricky Trevor 7]

Opposite ends of the scale but:

- Andrei Kanchelskis. Absolutely unreal talent and a steal at 5m from United. Gutted he didn't stay very long. World class player, the most talented player I've seen play for us in 30 years.

- Sander Westerveld. Doesn't get much lower than the desperate signing of an ex-Liverpool reject.

Tony Thomas , don't need to say much more .

 

[Chewbacca]

There is no player too good to play for Everton.

If Messi signed I'd just think "good lad, come to his senses at last"

 

[BMFin]

I know we've had world class players, but Eto'o was such a shock to me. Signing came out of no where, and it ended badly. The whole situation was...odd.

 

[GerryandthePaceMerchants]

Lukaku tbh. Had the pick of europe but fell in love with the old lady and the fans.

 

[LEONARD]

Colin Todd and Brian Kidd both had late career cameos at Goodison. They were ace players, and I wish we could have snared them 5 year's earlier.
