It's really revisionist now I know but how good has James been for Everton? Every one of us in here said no thank you, and rightly so given his history. But what a player and we'd be killing for him now. TBH I think it's more down to Ancelotti actually getting the best out of his players like he has done everywhere he has gone, even calvert-lewin looks good.
So where does the blame lie? I know we have been linked with every player in the world over the years but we have been signing James for 2 years and we was signing Allan for a few years and got Fred. Both go to Everton and are WC. Never had a doubt about Allan. Top player. And I've said we should sign doucoure for years. Would ole get the same out of them players? At what point do we stop moaning about recruitment and blame the staff for not getting the best out of what they have?
