Kepa is a very good shout actually. I've seen moody emo's with stronger wrists than him

Not a huge amount of money but Bravo has been an undoubted flop at City. Brought in to replace Hart, made loads of mistakes in his first season. Replaced the following season.

Keita was meant to be the best midfielder in the league, Liverpool fans wouldn’t stop going on about him
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is a very good player that takes high risk passes and drives forward. He has had some immense games but usually got injured straight after them.

I remember against Burnley he was the best player on the park, easily. Lots of the players mentioned have not even looked the best player in their team, and most sit 25-40 points off Keitas team.
Few Liverpool fans will say he is bad. A confidence player? For sure. If he is a flop then Ndombele, pogba, Fred etc are 100% flops.

Fred is one of the most shocking mf I've seen in the league in recent times. I've no idea what he does well, yet Man U fans act like he is a success, just cos he went from uber terd to terd 😅

I guess football is all about opinions

Fred and Pogba have both played to a higher standard and over a more consistent period of time than Keita I am sure.

Keita for me. The rest have contributed at least a bit. He's been a total waste so far.

Anyone signed by Everton in the last 4 years

posted on 17/5/20

Has to be Pogba or Fred surely. Monumental amount of money and still United's midfield is shocking.

Keita in with a shout as he keeps getting injured. Good player when he actually plays however. A case could be make for him not being suited to the physicality of the league. I'm sure he'll have no real regrets, if it doesn't work out and he leaves with a load of medals.

Other names like Sanchez at Man-united.500-000 a week Pogba cant be sold because he will cause a huge loss.

posted on 17/5/20

I’d blanked Sanchez out of my mind.

How in the name of Robert De Niro, did Everton reject 80 million from Barca for Richarlison? That's about as bad as signing as some of these mentioned.

Did they?

Sanchez



Pogba, Keita, Kepa

Pogba, Kepa and Ndombele all good shouts from top six clubs.

Joelinton wins hands down overall though. £40m for a pub player.

Oh and pretty much every player Everton have signed in the last 3-4 years apart from Richarlison. Can’t be bothered to list them as it would take to long.

Value for money, Pogba is probably top of the list. Lacazette a close second and Keita third. In each position, id go

GK - Kepa
Defender - Stones
Midfielder - Keita
Forward - Lacazette
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this.
Kepa shouldn't be this bad for the price paid.
Stones reminds me of Jones in that he was a young talent but no longer inspires confidence. Unless City have Laporte playing, or when they had Kompany, he's not been able to stop up. Time is one his side still.
Keita has a good game now and then, otherwise he's poor and injured. His injury record is putting Jones's to shame. And players like that, after constant injuries stagnate. See Phil Jones as an example.
Lacazette has been decent but probably not the player everyone thought he'd be.
Sanchez gets in purely due to wages spent on him and him being an albatross around the club's neck.

Two of those players don't fit the criteria in the OP.

😅😅😅
Fred is shocking and is only in Man Us team cos he cost a fortune and their squad is weak. Fred never starts in a top team. Keitas injuries have stopped him getting a run of games but he has hit passes and been the best player on the pitch. I've seen unused subs play better than Fred 😅

I'd actually go as far to say Fred is probably one of the worst signings, for big fees, in PL history. Shockingly bad. Keita can pass and tackle, does anyone know what Fred does? Lol he cannot even blame injuries for being bad as he has played most the season and been shocking throughout.

I think united have the worst mf they have had in PL history. That's why Fred plays basically.

Someone is triggered. Liverpool fans can't admit how bad Keita has been after hyping him up.

Even injured Keita has outperformed Fred. More goals in less games. If Keita is bad then Fred is a lost cause.

All players in the op have flopped to various degrees, but not completely. Pogba problem is he doesn’t have the brain or work rate to play the role ole sees for him.

But Sanchez is easily the worst imo

Fred’s actually performed better than Keita in their time in England.

Not sure I agree with that on a game to game basis Darren but fair enough. Ive actually always defen Fred too.

Not sure if it's already been said but Cancelo for £60,000,000 is an awful piece of business.

No-one has said Cancelo.

Mad how he's slipped under the radar.
