World class players?

Kanchelskis...Get the feeling people don't like mentioning certain players due to the short periods spent at the club. He was without doubt World class and improved us by about 5 to 6 league places that year. His performance against Sheff Wed away was the best single performance of an Everton player I've seen.
Yeah I was at that game. And the Liverpool away game. He was unbelievable. What a signing by royle looking back. How did we even get him?
 
Interesting really. Why did United let him go? I agree with you overall, but that does weigh on my mind.

I've just done a little fact check. With Kanchelskis we got 57 points from 32 games. We got 4 from 6 without him. Thats a really high PPG number for him. Had he have played 38 games, at the rate we went with him we score 67/8 points. That season we'd have finished 4th and within 3 of Liverpool in 3rd. I suppose he made a massive difference to the team.
Persistent rumour was that he was balls deep in debt with the Russian mafia as he was a prolific (and Unlucky) gambler and that the only way he could keep them off his back was to move at regular intervals and cop for a juicy signing on fee to keep the sharks at bay. Probably a load of cobblers, but it was a widely accepted rumour at the time, not just with us, but with ManU fans too!
