Everton Summer transfers 2021

Imagine being a scout for Everton in Belgium or whatever?

I'd just jack it in, sit in the hotel or whatever all day and just pick random names off Football Manager, same end result so who cares.
They sacked all the foreign scouts apart from a couple in France and Portugal I think.
 
That explains an awful lot.
They have Michel Rablat who is scouting senior players in France and Habib Bamogo that focusses on youth. Portugal I'm not sure. But the Italian, Scandinavian scouts all got binned. They wanted to focus a smaller market and build up better connections there, but at least pre-covid the scouting was mostly done by home-based scouts and not resident scouts abroad (except France). No idea with CoVID how they do it... Or if they've restructured at all in the last 12 months or so

There was an article in The Athletic not long ago about our scouting system, said it was extensive and that we've put a lot of effort in the Balkans as it's where you get the best value for money for players.

Yet the only player we've signed that way was Vlasic and we completely squandered his potential.

And even that we only because he happened to play well against us.
