Oh I agree everything needs to change at Everton.
We need to build something lasting , sustainable.
Jose has never been interested in putting foundations into a club / team .
It's always been "all about me".
He will demand that we buy ageing , expensive players and not give a toss about Everton when he leaves in 2 years after falling out with owners because they wouldn't pay £25 million for a 40 year old Edin Dzeko.
Bored so took a look at a few of his more recent jobs, who he bought for decent money 10m+ and their age.
Roma
Tammy Abraham (23yo) 41m
Kumbulla (21yo) 26m
Shomurodov (26yo) 19m
Vina (23yo) 13m
Ibanez (22yo) 11m
Patricio (33yo) 11m
4/6 - 23yo or younger - 94/121m
1/6 - 26yo 26/121m
1/6 - 33yo 11/121m (a keeper btw)
Spurs
Celso (24yo) 32m
Bergwijn (22yo) 30m
Reguilon (23yo) 30m
Doherty (28yo) 16m
Hojbjerg (25yo) 16m
Rodon (22yo) 12m
3/6 - 23yo or younger 72/136m
2/6 - 24/25yo 48/136m
1/6 - 28yo 16/136m
United
Pogba - 23yo 105m
Lukaku - 24yo 84m
Fred - 25yo 59m
Matic - 29yo 44m
Mkhytarian - 27yo 42m
Bailley - 22yo 38m
Linderlof -23yo -35m
Sanchez - 29yo 34m
Dalot - 19yo 22m
So 4/9 were 23 or younger 200m/463m
2/9 were 24/25 143m/463m
3/9 were 27-29yo 120m/463m
So over his last 3 major jobs
11/21 players he bought were 23 or younger
5/21 between 24/25
Only 5/21 were 26 or older and only one of those over the age of 30 (a goalie)
366m on players under 24
217m on players 24/25yo
147m on players 26 or older
It simply doesn't stack up to the idea he'd sign a load of signing players on big money as his recent history (last three major jobs over the last 8 years) suggests the complete opposite and more than half of his total players brought in and for over half the money spent have been on players 23 or younger. If you roll that out to players 25 or younger (so a four year contract sees them still not 30 so have sell on value) then the stats show more like 75-80% of the players he buys are in this range and he spends approximately 80-85% of the money there also.
Had a wui k look at Chelsea as well, if I included all the data from both stints the stats look even more compelling that he doesn't spend a big proportion on signing layers but rather on ones who are just hitting their potential
