Roberto Martinez discussion

[davek]

More of his own players?

Are you actually insane?

Howard, Baines, Coleman, Distin, Jags, Mirallas, Osman, Pienaar, Naismith.

Ok DAVE

By the end of last summer's business he'd transformed the midfield and attack. Only the defence (the unit who let us down) remained Moyes' personnel strongholds.

Coleman scored more goals and Baines created more chances than the whole of El Fraudos wonderfully crafted midfield.

I don't think any rational fan isn't prepared to give him a chance. You're mad if you don't want him to be a huge success.

Be it any Everton manager (that include the likes of Mike walker) I only want them to be successful and give us the fans the success we so badly crave. I just have huge doubts that Martinez is that man. I hope I am proved wrong. But last season and seeing the calibre of players we are being linked with, gives me grave concerns.

When Martinez pisses £250M up against a wall we can start comparing the two situations.

He's certainly pissed a lot more than Moyes did in 2004.

Inflation-wise and taking into consideration the huge increase in price of players he's done well. Very well. Signing McCarthy for £13M in 2013 is the equivalent of paying £4.5M for Yobo in 10 years earlier.

Yes Dave, its defo the same.

LOL

We spent £6m on Kone. Six million pounds sterling.

Yobo's cost at the time was seen as an audacious fee for a player so young. It defo is the comparison to make.

Btw, lest anyone forget: ginger bollocks smashed the transfer record loads of times...and sometimes on utter duds like Beattie and Bily....and who could forget his attempt to outbid Souness for the signature of Barry Ferguson by throwing £10M at it before thankfully Sewerness secured him for Blackburn.

Lol.

At today's prices that's ten bob.

That's a lot of money to us, Dave.

Yes David, he bid 10m for Barry Ferguson David.

Honestly, how do you sleep at night with all these lies floating round your head.

 

[paulbefc]

It's just not fair to in any way compare any other manager's transfer business to Moyes'.

He operates on a different level in that regard.

Sorry, I beg your pardon. It was £8M. Moyes wanted to outbid Souness who trumped Moyes' initial offer of £6M by paying £7.5M for his signature. The chase was ended by Kenwright (for once a move that has to be applauded).

So that's an £8M bid for Barry"Bazza"Ferguson. £8M FFS.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Conjecture David.

Where as, we ACTUALLY paid 5m for Arouna Kone.

£5M in today's market would translate to paying almost £1M on a waste of space 6 years ago...but we paid almost £10M instead .....
