Disagree. Ever since Emenalo has been appointed as technical director the club have barely made any mistakes whatsoever, transfer wise. We've made a lot of fantastic signings, including the Lukaku one - if you look at this deal financially, we signed Lukaku for £10m, and have sold him for £15m+ profit. Same can be said about the Mata, KDB, Luiz deals. We've more oft than not been exceptional in the transfer market in the last 3 or so years.

With the exception of Torres but even then he probably already made up more than 20m of his transfer fee through shirt sale and we won the CL-our main aim so arguably he fulfilled his purpose to.

Luke Shaw who's barely done anything and plays LB goes for £30m but a match winning striker who's scored over 30 goals in the last two seasons goes for £24m. Feels cheap.

Can't help but feel we could've got way more for him somewhere else but we probably did a Mata and let him go where he wanted to go.

Emenalo wasn't technical director when we signed Torres.

Ummm, we got peak values for both players....

But than again Andy Carrol went for crazy money.

Could have sworn lukaku cost us £18m? Wouldn't represent much profit to sell for £24m (because let's face it, Everton are winning fuck all anytime soon)

His deal was £10m, rising to £18m based on appearances and goals scored. He has barely made any appearances or scored any goal for us so that £10m figure would still be in tact.

I meant how is Lukaku priced at just 10 mill more than Borini who Sunderland were willing to pay 14 million for

Borini isn't even going to Sunderland. Besides, that £24m fee rises to £30m when Everton win a trophy or if they get CL football, so essentially it's more than double that of Borini's fee. Don't know why you're crying about that.

In this period, we signed Torres for 50 million pounds and Luiz for 25 million pounds in one transfer window : Jan 2011 instead of adressing the fact we had an ageing squad. Everyone could see that team needed repair after Ancelotti won the double, but we squandered 75 mil pounds on signings that will turn out to be failures. We finished 3rd, Ancelotti got sacked, then the season after, AVB's season, we again didn't deal with the ageing squad issue and we finished 6th, somehow winning the CL. AVB was NOT the greatest manager, but he wasn't helped by the board.

The signing of Torres still hurts us today. We then went into the 2012/13 season with only Torres as our recognized striker then signed Ba in the January transfer window, a desperation signing. That was also the season we were in 6 competitions. How a board let's it's manager start a season with only one (hopeless) striker in such circumstances, I don't know. We also let go of Miereles despite the fact we were short in midfield. Unsurprisingly, we won 1 out of 6 of those competitions, one we didn't even want to be in.

We then had this wierd, sign every AM in existence binge which only made the team unbalanced. How many AM's to make Torres score? Hazard, Oscar, Marin, KDB, Benayoun, Mata. etc. Unsurprisingly, only two from that period remain. We tried to make it work with Hazard, Mata and Oscar but improved impossible to do. Benitez recognized that.

Now enter Mourinho. It's only since he arrived that any semblance of sanity we had since 2010 returned. He balanced an unbalanced squad and signed players we actually needed. Matic, Schurrle, Willian, all very good signings, the first two being known recommendations of the manager. Now Diego Costa, Luis and Fabregas, other Mourinho signings. All at good prices too.

Mourinho set us straight not Emenalo. He's done an ok job, nothing amazing. We've been very hit and miss in the period of 2010-2013, both with transfers and managers.

U seriously think Everton will win a trophy or qualify for champ league??
