The problem with recruitment being so disjointed is on Moshiri.
It doesnt seem like the DOF has the power of a DOF.
Benitez did well with Gray and Townsend yet poorly with Begovic, Lonergan and Rondon.
There doesnt seem to be any input from Brands.
Last year it was Allan and James by Ancelotti and Godfrey, Doucoure and Nkounkou by Brands.
It all seems very random.
There should have been direction from the DOF of the playing style and managers brought in to follow the 'Everton playing style'. This played through all the youth teams and u23s with signings made by the DOF to fit the style of play.
Something long term.
