Some right idiots below. Right first off, stop having a go at players to make a point about managers.

James was probably our best creative player last season and by some margin.

Allan was our best defensive midfielder last season who everyone had down as one of the the most Influential in the team.

Dacoure was a massive cog in the wheel we needed and was close to being player of the season.

Godfrey, young most peoples player of the season

Injuries to three of those probably cost us Europe. So stop talking stupid. God Everton fans do my head in.

If anyone else can show me a window recently where we signed that many players that made an impact on the squad I'd love to see it.

Sorry BJU but have to disagree. James may have been one of our most creative players but he hardly ever played. He didn't like the physicality of the league, and was a weak link when playing on the right. Something teams quickly worked out. Carlo treated him like a spoilt child, so when he didn't want to play he didn't have to. Summed it up when he buggered off at the end of the season, and put his country before the club. Guy always had a "little injury", but it was never explained what this was.
Allan is a very good player, but we have got him four years too late. Might get one more season out of him, so not really a good return on money spent.
As for Dacoure and Godfrey, they were down to Brands and would have come to the club regardless of who the manager was. Personally I would have those two over the other two every day of the week. Because if you are looking to build a team for the future then you don't buy injury prone players and players who may already be on the decline.
This has nothing to do with who the next manager might be, it's just my view, and it would have been the same if Carlo had stayed.
Now if that makes me an idiot then fine. Football is a game of opinions and I will always have mine. Right or wrong.

Brassington views on James I would tend to agree with. Also to think that a player can pick up his wages by supposedly being injured doesn’t build a good team spirit. Maybe that can explain the lack of effort displayed by some of the other players. As I mentioned at the end of the season, if, I think it was 3 of those home games we lost, had been wins we would have been in the Champions league mix.

Or maybe those 3 home games we lost as Carlos clause to go back to Real Madrid was only if we didn’t qualify for Europe?

You guys are nuts.

James had a niggling calf injury that kept reoccurring and a groin injury earlier in the season. He played 26 times and got 6 goals and 9 assists. I'll admit, yes he was injured too often but he was still our most creative player based on FACTS plus he was a FREE! Brass you're basing your view of his injuries and attitude from conspiracy theories. You'll be telling me next not to get as season ticket because there's a micro chip in it watching my every move!

So Allan is good but, according to you lot, only for maybe two season because of his age. So he's good! you actually admit he's good. However, you still don't want to give any credit for him being at the club because he MAY deteriorate in a couple of years. Plus you don't need to buy players for sell on value. You buy players because you need that type of player.

Oh and you lot are not looking for a team of the future, you're looking for a team for now!

Keep talking you lot and I'll keep laughing my ass off.

So who told you James had a niggling calf injury? Amazing how it got better just in time for the Copa America 😂 You have a pop at people because they don’t agree with you throwing FACTS at them. Well fact is you have no idea what his injury was if in fact he actually had one.
But hey you champion a layer who put country before club, and who is desperate to leave after one season (well half for him) . Yes that’s just the type of player we can build a team with.
👏👏👏.

Agree fully with woburn and brassington on the james topic.

Actually, the facts are out there when the club tell you why the player is injured. Just look it up.

Not one of you have given me any facts on his attitude, whether what you say is true about Country before club. Nothing out there at all on that one.

I also didn't say let's build a team around him. Another fact for you.

Come back when you've done some research other than twitter and your mate on Facebook. Haha.
