Pienaar was pretty terrible when he arrived, he constantly got pushed off the ball, however he got a lot better when he linked with Baines, it improved them both. Jags was pretty poor when he came to Everton, but in his second season he really was fantastic, Lescott was excellent from the get go. Felaini was terrible in his first few games, but he got a lot better as the season wore on. I never really understood why we got rid of Beckford, I thought he did a pretty decent job for us to be honest, his goal rate wasn't that different from DCL. I think Jelavic's drop in the form was largely due to the way we started playing balls from deep into Felaini, rather than playing balls over the top to him, I think if let's say a player like Barkley was behind him he would of played better. Gueye did a lot better than I expected, just like John Stones, and Coleman.
With regards to flops the obvious one would be Andy Van Der Meyde, I don't think he played from like 2006 to when he came back briefly in 2009 and set up Gosling, I don't know whether he was injured or something or what. I remember when we were playing Blackburn away once and
Moyes put Rodwell on the right wing he thought that little of Van Der Meyde. Billy whatever his name was a strange one, I think that
Moyes was mostly to blame for him not doing well at Everton. It was obvious he should be played behind the striker not the wing as he just wasn't cut out for that, but I thought he did alright in his first season. I thought Besic was unfairly treated as he at least tries, unlike the Snide, I've been very unhappy to Sigurdsson he's been pretty dire so far at GP. Yakubu was a really exciting signing, however he never recovered from his injury and Moyes stupid tactics.
