Who is our best player of the Prem?

[dholliday]

...to pass the time between transfer-drama and next weekend: this came up in a thread. Outfield players only. Best is however you wanna interpret the word.

While much respect for Dave Watson, recognising the cult factor of Dunc & Timmy, and appreciating having proper silk footballers like Beardsley & Arteta in the team, my vote's going to Rom for being the best goalscorer we've had since Lineker & Latchford. His consistent goal-scoring reminded us what it could be like to be a top team again.

In terms of sheer ability it's probably Kanchelskis but given he only gave us a bit of time and Rom was here 4 years you wouldn't be wrong for picking him

Samuel Eto....

 

[Huyton Layne]

Went with Andrei as he's the only player I've seen that scared the absolute life out of the opposition,

 

[TippEverton]

Andrei, without doubt.

 

[Debaser]

I voted for Kanchelskis. Although Beardsley (so good he is on the list twice lol) is a very close second.

They are the only two players on that list along with Lukaku and Rooney that I think are/were world class quality.

Andrei

Not even close, truly a world class player

 

[Charles Plastusz]

For physical attributes albeit in very different ways, Dunc and Andrei. For pure technical ability Beardsley and Pienaar, yet i would still go with Waggy as he was the last man to lift a trophy for us and hard as it is to believe stuff like that once counted at Everton

 

[Kenshin]

First thought went to kanchelskis. Our last real match winner

 

[nsno-chris]

I almost feel sorry for the lids who didn’t witness this man

Kanchelskis is still on another level to any other player I’ve seen play for Everton. I’d have him ahead of Lukaku any day of the week. A proper Footballer, not some one trick pony. He was absolutely devastating.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Andrei the giant

 

[Kev The Rat]

I would say Kanchelskis but the longevity wasnt there.

he kind of was actually, it involved blistering pace and a powerful shot, but that trick was so good that for a while no one could deal with it. he lost interest too soon for me to consider him as one of the very greats, but for a period he was good as anything ive seen in blue.
