Walter Smith's best signing

[TX Bill]

I voted Joe Max Moore.

Why?

Because it was his playing at Everton that was partially responsible for me following the club and eventually falling in love with it.

I shudder to think what would have happened had he played at another club. Nah...I'd have still become a blue.

Because a team of scouts employed by the biggest club in the world would make that mistake.
Tommy was a quality player.

He was good but he was phoney with it - played the Street End like a fiddle. Miles out of position, making idiotic plays, but never mind - I'll stick a reducer into their centre mid and wave my arms about, crowd will love it.

Close call between Weir and Campbell because Weir was a superb signing for 500k but Campbell wins the day for slotting goals that basically kept us up. Great centre forward was KC and I think will always be held in high Esteem of all Evertonians

Very much this. I think we only paid 250k for Weir though. Fantastic signing.

You are correct mate, it was 250k

Special mentions to Gravesen and Weir who went on to be great for us, but I'll go for super Kev. The impact he made may well have been almost as significant as Graeme Stuart's goal v Wimbledon.

I'll discount Ferguson as a Smith signing as he already had a history with the club and we probably wouldn't have signed him if he hadn't been sold from under Smith's nose, although Smith did have a personal history of signing him.

Amazeballs. It's Big Dunc ofcourse. Weir and Graversen were crackers too.

You do realise Walter only resigned him after we sold him to Newcastle? Joe Royle signed Big Dunc first time around (although he was already here on loan when he arrived)

Right o. I can't remember tbh. I did think it was Joe Royale but just assumed I'd got it wrong. It was a while ago after all.

Carsley joined only a month before Smith was sacked but his impact was there for all to see (albeit in a side coached by Moyes which obviously improved on what went before). Campbell for me - his impact was greater and it was (mostly) achieved in Smith's time.

Always made me laugh that people just assumed he was a "tough tackling" defensive mid because of how he looked. He was a creator more than anything.

Some fairly decent players in that list and I'd take a few of them now over some of the current phoneys! Best ' signing ' though is Campbell by miles!
