Now we are spending 150 m
Yesterday we had no net spend
If you are going to change the facts around to suit your agenda at least be honest about.it
Your mantra was 150 m spend was player recycling now it's just 150 m spend

Exactly
Signing Cleverly was the best Everton moment of the PL era
He was after all in the words of a footballing genius the greatest english player of his generation.
Bobby got lucky with Rom.
He got Lukaku on loan and we were in the right place at the right time to buy Lukaku.
He needed a stepping stone ,we needed a striker

We will never know, so don't assume it would be all that bad. Don't forget he signed Lukaku. He also secured Delefeou and gave Barkley a chance. Two damn good signings and development of a quality player. He also signed Funes Mori for just 10m, well worth the dollar. He stuffed up with Niasse, who wasn't even given a go and had he been given a go we probably would have recouped most the funds.
Not to mention Gareth Barry has been our seasons best twice and Mccarthy when fit was one of our most important centrally.

Cleverly was on a free. We made a decent profit on someone useless.
Question how he used Cleverly and why we played Cleverly, not why we signed him. He was a nothing gamble and signing him shouldn't even bare weight on Martinez' ability to sign players ffs.
He still signed Lukaku who wanted a move after the loan to ensure first team football. He could have not had the nerve to sign him and have him rot on Chelsea's bench or go elsewhere. He signed Lukaku, best player signing we've had since Tim bloody Cahill.
And who do you suggest we realistically sign to replace Lukaku
I said realistically i.e. Someone we can afford and who would sign for us without CL
Why sign him if he didn't play him , why waste the wages.
The point was signing Rom was a the high point of the PL era for Everton
It was a no brainer to sign Rom
A proven goal score who Chelsea didn't want and still had his boots in a locker at FF

Player Valuation: £40m
The thing is I have a feeling Koeman quite likes him, Stones wasn't very good at defending but he's at a team now that attack most of the time so he has to defend less. Our aim should be to try and press and attack more giving the defenders less to do. For years we have been pushed back into defending by many teams and not always the top ones.
Geri never made it (4managers can't be wrong )
Barry was a no brainer
McCarthy went backwards at Everton
Funes Mori robbed the club and is too unpredictable to a quality CH
We will have to agree to differ on Bobbys skill in the transfer market
But for every Lukaku there a McGeady
I am in no way a Martinez supporter .

Utter dross. He was a free transfer who wanted to come here. We made a profit which offset any wages on a proven PL player. He wasn't much chop but he was a free. And had Martinez not overrated his capabilities by playing him every week and ridiculously played him on a wing, nobody would have cared that we signed him.
We still had to go out and get Rom. We finished 5th, had something to sell Rom and would have taken some convincing.
