Here is the problem with buying players and not losing money selling them: we don't have enough money to buy success. The only way we can ever compete to win the league again is by exploiting the fact that a lot of unproven players exist around the world. If we can find these players and develop them we may just be able to compete. So far since Moshiri took over we have not done this and we have coincidentally made no progress toward the top of the league.
I have decided that I'm going to do two things with Everton from now on: evaluate our team as if we are already competing with the "Big 6." That is why I'm critical of Bernard. None of those teams would accept his level of performance last year. The other is I'm going to side with developing players over making profit and buying known quantities. So if that rankles you put me on ignore.
@Nymzee you should read this too.
