Everton Summer transfers 2021

[TheBigIguana]

Only in your world.

Most of us feel as tho Doucs, Allan and James improved us.

I mean we finished 12th last season, currently, we are, 2 points off 4th.

But sure, buying good players is pointless.

Improved us and getting us where we want to be aren't that same thing.

2 points off 4th if we win a game we might not win. Reality is we are 8th. We can evaluate this at the end when it is more clear but for now I wouldn't hang my hat on saying we're a lot better now.

Youri was a big flop in Monaco and that was why Leicester could loan him. In Leicester he came to a club that had a clear philosophy and knew how to use his strengths. Cancelo is a good right back, but it is first and foremost as an inverted left back / or midfielder he has been extremely good. He had not been given that role with us.

My point is that having a fairly clear system will make the players better, but it will also be much easier to get the right players. We can not only buy players because on paper they are qualitatively better than what we have, but we must buy players who make the system better.

There is no point, e.g. to buy Isco, who is better qualitatively than all Everton players, if we do not have a plan for how he will be integrated into the system, and what role he will have. We are also not in a position to bring in Haaland, Mbappe, and the very best players, and usually have to buy players at the levels below.

All the biggest clubs have a clear and distinct philosophy, and can also buy the world's best players. It is almost impossible to compete against them. Without an oil sheik or two, our best opportunity is to be innovative and be one step ahead of our competitors when it comes to system, tactics, training theory, data analysis, physiology, developing our own players and mapping the right players who can strengthen us.

The Hollywood strategy can possibly get us top 6, but it also comes with great risk.

It seems to be taking a very long time to institute an identity / long-term vision for the club (it's now five years since the takeover).

I think we got Koeman in and "went" for it, with a "Hollywood" manager.
Then I think we tried to build with a young "progressive" manager like Silva.
Then Carlo became available and he ain't here for a 5 year plan.

This isn't me making excuses, mistakes, very costly mistakes have been made and will continue to be made.

Sure we all have our ideas and we all think we would have done better, but its been a fluid time for the club.

But Moshiri has paid handsomely for his mistakes, sure as fans we have also, but hopefully with a bit of stability, Brands and Carlo on the same page, we can "kick on".

Realistically we probably wont.

Sadly we play in the toughest league in the world, a league in which a soon to be relegated team can beat The Champions at home.

But hey, reality should have no place in a football fans thinking, dream, never stop dreaming, cos once you stop dreaming and accept reality, life becomes really dull.

If we viewed Silva as a progressive manager sheesh that's bad in retrospect

He was a young manager, somebody who we thought would grow.

You know, like those players you keep suggesting we buy.

He had been sacked from 2 previous jobs in the PL, he should not have come anywhere within 500 yards of the club, it was a disaster waiting to happen.

He was a dog of a manager, I said that before we hired him.

I mean I did put progressive and Hollywood in bunny ears.

Managers don't really grow the same way

I’m not sure a managers height has anything to do with success, but maybe the statisticians out there could illuminate us?

It's the main reason Ronnie Corbett never became a manager, height is everything.
