Delima Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 How freaking good is David Moyes in the transfer market in the past few years (post Andy Van der Mat or whoever the cut off point)? Yakubu, Jo, Saha Pienaar, Billy, Fellaini, Rodwell, Cosling, Neville, Cahill, Arteta Baines, Distin, Jagielka, Heitinga, Neill (Lescott) Howard No single wasteful bad transfer. No single failure (ignoring free rubbish). No I do not consider Fellani overpriced. Some of the Everton supporters who wanted David Moyes out are complete, complete nuts and assholes.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I wonder what he would do with funds. Maybe nothing special, mind. Yakubu, Fellaini, and the Russian have cost at least 35 million British pounds sterling by themselves. He's had funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Distin, Yakuba, Saha and Neill have all proven themselves in the PL (although Neill isn't great) hasn't even played for Everton yet. Cahill, Arteta and Jagielka were good buys though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delima Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I wonder what he would do with funds. Maybe nothing special, mind. It is a fair point. Yakubu - 11.25M Jo - Loan Saha - Minimal, pay as you play Pienaar - Loan + 2M Billy ~~11M ? Fellaini - 14M Rodwell - youth (sorry for the mistake) Cosling - 2M ? Neville - 3.5M Cahill - 1.5M Arteta - Loan + 2M Baines - 6M Distin - Free Jagielka - 4M Heitinga - 6.2M Neill - Free (Lescott) - 5M Howard - 3M A significant part of the success are down free transfer (Neill, Distin, 1/2 Saha), and amazing loan (Arteta, Jo, Pienaar) The rest are mid price range success Also quite a few big money transfer - Billy, Yakubu, Fellaini Great record Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Kudos to Moyes for sure. I was really dissapointed in him when it looked like he was goign to turn down all that money for Lescott. However, he did exactly the right thing by fleecing them and then using the funds to further enhance what is now looking like a very deep squad of players. Essentially turned Lescott into Bilyaletdinov, Distin, Heitinga and Neil. Two of which are seasoned prem defenders so you know exactly what to expect. excellent maneouvering.

Village Idiot Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Can't believe he got Arteta so cheap, we (Barça) sold it to Rangers for €10m and he was a success there IIRC, can't believe that his price dropped so much after just one unsuccessful half a season at Real Sociedad. Great dealing indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1878 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I wonder what he would do with funds. Maybe nothing special, mind. Yakubu, Fellaini, and the Russian have cost at least 35 million British pounds sterling by themselves. He's had funds. Net spend is about £4m a year iirc. I think over the last couple of years we've broke roughly even. He's had fuck all funds from our awful board. Would help if they won some matches like.

Cajun Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Milner has developed since he joined for Villa, he's definitely an improved player. When Milner was playing for us he was still one of our better players but who was the competition? He's a good player, nothing better and nothing less. Good post, its a shame it will be read like.... Somehow Milner has developed even more since he joined for Villa, he's definitely an improved player somehow. When Milner was playing for us he was by far our better player despite the competition. He's a fucking brilliant player, even for a world class player he is brilliant, nothing better and nothing less, makes Zidane look like Sibierski.
