To Everton.
 
In a recent interview, Monchi, the man behind the extraordinary feat that Sevilla have achieved, explained how they unearth the rough diamonds. The process involves monitoring of different leagues across the world by 16 specialized scouts.

In the beginning, the procedure only involves information gathering. Monchi explained to the Guardian, “Sixteen people cover a series of leagues. For the first five months we watch a lot of football but with no particular aim: we’re just accumulating data. Every month we produce an ideal XI for each league.

“Then in December, we start watching players who appeared regularly in different contexts – home, away, international – to build the broadest possible profile.” Then, the manager asks for a player in a particular position and some of them fit the profile.

Then start the negotiations. At first, Monchi says, “This part was easy. Now-a-days, the clubs have realized the amount of profit that Sevilla can make and hence ask for bigger prices.”
 

Exactly. Was only a couple of days ago that he was bigging up Emery and saying he has to stay with them them. Now he's going..

Just have to wonder with us wanting to the DOF route, whether negotiations with Emery were along the lines of "if I'm coming I want Monchi with me"

My thoughts exactly. Do we dare allow ourselves to get excited now? Too coincidental this.
