Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

[davek]

I'm amazed the really big clubs weren't in for Benitez after reading that copy and paste from Benitez's blog.

We're so lucky he was available

I dont think it was OTT praise. It was giving a warts an' all assessment.

People who have been complaining about Everton being walked past have no right complaining about a manager who will - on past experience - fix that.

Newcastle had the lowest number of goals in their games when he was manager, for or against. If you thought Moyes was dull, you ain't seen nothing yet. He's going to make Sam Allardyce look like Pep Guardiola.

We'll see by xmas. If he is still playing hoof ball from the mid 2000's we will getting turned over weekly and Goodison will be a pit.

Well Newcastle dont have Richarlison, James, DCL, do they?

No pace

Zero pace, not that kind of winger.

However - hard worker, good crossing ability, good physique, strong left foot, and still only 21 so room for development.
If 25m is actually his price tag then he would probably be a decent addition, but would far rather push the boat out for a profile similar to Bailey.

We'll see. Koeman had two of them and still played dirge ball.

Hoofball (if that's what it will be) will be welcomed by at least half of Goodison who were weaned on the Moyes' hoof.

Koeman is hopeless. Benitez is a winner.

Disappointing accurate

No, not recently. But we last won something 26 years ago.

We'll see sales, yes.

Richarlison looks an obvious one. I dont think Benitez was arsed about him going the Olympics after the Copa America. That's going to be another club's problem soon.
