A summer of turmoil
at Goodison which has seen the departure of top trio Nicky Barmby, Don Hutchison
and John Collins has piled the pressure on former Rangers manager Walter Smith.
But there is hope. Smith is about as streetwise as they come in this business
and as PR masterstrokes go, signing Gazza and one of the most instantly recognisable
stars of Euro 2000, will guarantee the usual electric atmosphere at Goodison
Park
Smith as used
his experience to buy quietly and wisely, and while the one big name (Gazza)
and the other big stylist (Xavier) he has landed will grab all the attention,
it's the other signings that will offer Everton real hope. Of course, Gascoigne
isn't just there to make up the numbers, even if he finds his contribution
limited to substitute cameos: he'll offer Everton a much-needed extra option
when they struggle to break teams down.
And, together
with Xavier, he'll also add a splash of colour to a team who have failed
to sparkle over the last couple of years You can neither miss nor ignore
Portugal's 6ft 5in attacking defender. If dying his hair, together with
his finely manicured beard and moustache, peroxide blond at Euro 2000 was
something of an advertising execs dream, the handball that effectively lost
Portugal the semi-final (and his ensuing protests) has ensured that Xavier
is now a household name - well on the Algarve anyway.

Thomas
Gravesen

Alessandro
Pistone - whose signing from Newcastle puts a question mark over the future
of Michael Ball - will bolster an ageing defence which has coped bravely
in recent times but would surely have started to fall apart soon. Along
with other new defensive capture Steve Watson, Pistone will give his new
team extra attacking options as well. And the tough-tackling Thomas Gravesen
and Alex Nyarko will easily fill the physical void left by Hutchison. Gravesen
has already got one red card to his name, having taken on half the Blackburn
side... in a friendly.
