This whopper has left us so short up top it’s nothing short of shambolic.
He’s been here 3 years at the end of the season and there’s nothing knocking on the first team door coming through the ranks.
Our youngsters continuously get beaten from the scum across the park at all levels
Liverpool appear to have top quality youngsters knocking on the first team door
Where are our scouts for these players?
Can’t give the excuse about the transfer ban on youngsters for 2 years as thats only if you sign players from other clubs.
I believe Brands had an interview about a Dutch player at Ajax and has come out and dissed the chances of us signing him as he will fo straight to a big club!!
Hello your at one now you muppet!!!
Not impressed I’m afraid

The major concern for me is not just down to the lack of quality in the squad but how imbalanced it looks. Our forward and central midfield options are dire with a couple of injuries. Brands has been here long enough now to have addressed this.

All 3 of these lie at the foot of the club legend managing them, not the DoF

We are constrained by unmovable players signed by the previous regime, happy to sit out their contracts. When we are finally through this shameful episode, we will have allowed players signed for £127m to leave on free transfers.
This is the limitation Brands is working within.

Sorry but I disagree 100%
The DIRECTOR of football is responsible for the structure of the clubs scouting system and a lot more on the playing-side of things.
He has been a DOF for a while before he came here and should of had his own dossier on players before he arrived. He’s a wast of space.
The manager has been here less than half the time of Brands tenure.
IMO Carlo is the best thing at Everton and thank god he is here. He improved the midfield with good players in his first proper window. Addressing the problem which is more than I can say about our DOF.

The DoF bought the midfield mert, as you stated that’s his job

I think you will find that Carlo had a lot to do with signing those players
Maybe Brands signed Godfrey but the Midfield and James was Carlo
I’m on about the structure of the scouting network
Also what does Mert mean?
 
We have an unbalanced squad because the white elephant contracts the previous regime left behind tied our hands financially. It's pretty clear that we're redlining against FFP right now.

If you look at the results, summer of 2018 was three good buys, two good loans, and if Bernard goes out then that deal is 2.5 years of squad cover at 18-year-old wages. Good business and dice roll, didn't work out.

2019 was slightly better than 2017, with potential upside if Iwobi works out or Gbamin slots in once healthy. Not high praise.

2020 was four hits, no misses.

Of our best XI, two or three of them were signed by previous regimes and another is in competition with Brands' loan signing.

Those are "retain" results. Arguably, if he'd gotten 2019 right he'd already have the keys to a place with no real financial constraints to speak of.
