Baines was the only one good enough, should've been second choice for England behind Cole. That said we should've replaced him a few years earlier. 
Moyes went stale and was royally found out since leaving us. Jags as a player is average and as a captain is poor. Pienaar had tons of ability but no brain to apply it, would've been great at 5 aside. 

You will always get some people trying to rewrite history , that back 4 of Coleman Jags Distin and Baines were superb and in Moyes last season had the 4th best defensive record in the Prem

Not sure how long you’ve been supporting Everton but Jags in his prime was a hell of a lot more than an above average defender

Compare the points we get with him to without. Remember comparing him with Heitinga and Yobo and both come out better. Can't be bothered going through all the stats again so just looked at our best season with him 13/14, we averaged 1.69 points per game with him (26 matches) compared to 2.33 ppg in the 12 without him. Stones was just a teenager and was a level above. We should have aimed higher than Jagielka years ago (same as we should have tried to upgrade on Howard too).
Cahill was brilliant in his day, but it was painful watching him play further back once his legs had gone a bit.

Agree with the first half, but don't think we've kicked on with Keane. 
Should never have been made captain and it was unprofessional at best for Moyes to declare him as club captain when the ginger fucker was not gonna be the one managing the team. Captain wise he was a step down from Neville. Player wise he's never been the best out of the two centre halves. Person wise he was probs the nicest but nice doesn't win you anything. 
Glad he's going because he's not good enough. Much like Tim Howard and Cahill, he's been comfortable picking up a wage here for longer than he should thanks to loyalty rather than ability.

You won't know what this lad brings to the team till you play tosun or Richarlison as a striker....
In all my lukaku rants my biggest issues of him were that he can't do the unappreciated stuff which is what DCL does in abundance.  Drop deep, hold the ball, win it, press, pass..... physically engage the defenders.
It offers the attacking midfielders a platform to get forward. 
Take DCLs attributes out the team and watch the midfield fold.....
However.... if there is a hybrid striker who can give 15 goals and what DCL does I would pay £50m now...... the fact is there aren't many who do what he does...... if he develops his finishing you are talking about a player who all the best teams will be after.... I'm not talking aguero levels of finishing.... I'm talking vardy or firminho levels.
