Pound for Pound - last 30 years

[blue4eva77]

It's not a competition, it's a matter of opinion.

*nurdles down to 3rd man

Like your 84-89 one.

For what it's worth Kanchelskis is one of my favourite Everton players.

And Southall is one of mine as are all on the list. Arteta could well be on it as well. The answer is subjective.

Martyn has to be in this i reckon, didn't play that many games but i don't recall many stinkers

nah, he had loads of bang-average games after coming back from that big injury. sideways passing and terrible corners...time and again.

that's a real solid top 10 shout.

From becoming a fan in 87 when I was 4 I can't comment much about the glory years and a lot of those players had started dipping by the time I can remember them playing at goodison. So my list is based on roughly 89 onwards.

1. Cahill - absolute warrior for this club and cost a bag of magic beans.
2. Beardsley - the human banana peel, left players on their arse consistently
3. Cottee - 1 goal shy of 100, slotter
4. Speed - not here very long, but let's be honest he was everyone's fave player while he was.
5. Kanchelskis - potentially the most gifted attacking player since the golden vision?

 

[Jamo Martinez]

When you say pound for pound are we simply talking of the typical boxing analogy or do we take into consideration relative price aswell?
When I say relative I mean that cottee was expensive at 2 million whereas Cahill was a steal at 2 million.
Think Reid cost 60 thousand. In which case, pound for pound (lb) and pound for pound (stirling), Reid would probably be top of the list and Cahill would have to be pretty high up the list.

The Cottee bandwagon is looking good. @Tony Cottee

 

[Groucho]

I still say Southall.

No sorry I didn't mean in terms of cash value.

I meant simply who'd put in the best consistent high quality shift for the Blues over their Everton career.

I'd had Watson, Steven, Coleman, Martyn, Ratcliffe and Snodin in my nearly list.

Rightly or wrongly I never took to appreciating Cottee. Maybe it was because for me he came to symbolise our downturn.

Wow though of you could combine Cottee's touch and intelligence with Rom's power in one striker....

Peter Reid deserves as least to get in the top ten. Alan Harper is almost the forgotten man :

I was straight on this too. Peter Reid.

Disgrace he's not put into the top 10

Agree. When Gary Speed left his quality absence was defo noticeable from the team.

He was a great player and it annoys me he didn't play here for us far longer.

Any mention of Leighton Baines? I know he started slow with us, but he's been the best left back in England for over 5 straight years now.

 

[Fresh Prince of Belle Val]

Kanchelskis definitely in there. Baines too IMO.
