Just a quick stat for those saying Silva isn't good enough because he has a relegation on his C. V., well a certain Mr Benitez who some fans, myself included, would like at Everton also has a relegation on his C. V.
Let's get behind the philosophy and the football Silva likes to play and forget the relegation with Hull, all due respect we are Everton not Hull, this is a job that Marco fancies and believes he can make a success of so let's support him and not condemn him before he has even set his stapler down on his desk.

I read a lot of good things about Silva, he's liked by a lot of people and has an attacking style that has worked abroad, I think if he comes to Everton he needs the players in and quick and to have a good pre season so Everton can start on the front foot, so much negative football will be hard to shift mentally, hope brand cam find some diamonds, problem is it all sounds like last season.

The catch there Simontoffee is a style that works abroad. Look I am not trying to be a sour grapes whinger but the facts and stats speak for themselves. At Hull and Watford he had win stats in the low 30's. This after having initial attacking success until the opposition worked it out. With Martinez and us it took a Season and a half and to be fair the Second season with Europe we were not deep enough in positional strength. Couple that with Martinez stubborness in not caring how many the opposition score as long as we score more and the project was doomed to failure. Koeman never bought into the project in the first place. Dare I say that at Hull and then Watford, Silva has been along the lines of a Martinez and far to similar for my liking. Ed025 aligned me with negativity, I prefer to be called a realist and believe me I do not want to be one of those that says 'I told you so'.
