Alot of fans wanted Dumfries based on his national team games (i didnt watch) but if they had been unfortunate to watch him for PSV they'd see a technically limited player who cant control a football or cross...

...basically modern day Coleman.

Hes flopped in Italy. Darmian is playing ahead of him and hes no better than average.

Now, you have to ask yourself why werent we in for Lamptey or Livramento the last couple of seasons?

Surely young English players will be scouted ?

If we had just got Livramento we'd see a massive improvement on our right flank.

Instead we chase his useless countryman all summer.


The reality is mate, we clearly don’t have a scouting network which scopes our potential talent.

We’ve got the likes of people linke Branthwaire who may make it, but Gallagher, Liveamento, they’re first team ready, and available for nothing.

Cornet, £12m and has the pace and flair we’re dying for?

What are we looking for? What’s our approach? We have no money and we knew we had no money, so we could have had 2-3 players on loans there which would have been perfect for us, players with a. Point to prove.

We’ve failed, flat out failed iver the last 5 years to build a squad capable of growing and being a real force, instead we’re seeing no sellable assets, no profit, and masses of debt.

Depressing.

Nail on the head mate. What is the identity we are trying to obtain ?

I made a point a few pages back about the identity of Everton football club.

Throughout our history we’ve been hard workers, and it’s what we expect. It’s not glamour, it’s not always effective but it’s what we expect as Evertonians, effort.

I grew up in Kendall III, Walter Smith… I’ve seen run of the mill players, but they always tried. They cared for our club.

We’ve cried poverty all season yet, where’s the Director of Football? Livramento was £5m, Gallagher loan, and the rest players who instantly change our dynamic.

If you’re doffing anywhere, go for the French league which is swarming with quality, and we just don’t have a direction, an identity.

I’ve never know a time where so many fans are so disconnected with the club. They seem utterly clueless to what is requested to succeed.

So your the same age group as me as that’s what I grew up with.

It’s just like we love buying washed up rejects who have no drive

I think the problem is not one person is responsible for transfers i.e. the DoF. 3 people have a say; the manager wants to play a certain way which could differ from that of the DoF.

He could have identified all these people and the managers have said “nah”

The hierarchy of the club is a mess.
 
I just don’t understand what this guy’s role is?
Appears to be some sort of welcome host who takes new signings out for a meal and shows them round the city to settle them in.

That’s basically it, it seems he’s just another voice in a very packed room of ideas.

I don’t think anyone, with the exception of Moshiri and Kenwright have any idea what he supposed to be doing

Too many cooks soil the broth.

I mean, if Moshiri has no confidence in Brands making efficient signings, then we need to replace him.

If Brands or Benitez aren’t agreeing on signings, then why would you slapping him.

Have to agree with you completely.

An agent of a player stated in a press article that dealing with Everton is the most difficult thing; you need approval from 3 people

I mean WTF

The Athletic reported the other day that Brands had only just instructed the U23s to play the same formation as the first team so when players are making the step up it's an easier transition.

The whole club is a mess.

Then it’s more of a reason why we’re a joke.

Moshiri, you own a football club and employ people to make football decision, why interfere.

Why the interview process never had the DOF and manager agreeing in the direction, it is mental.

Dysfunctional clubs like Man Utd do this. Successful sides like Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and even Leicester don’t, they work together and make it work.
