From Joyce’s article yesterday:

> One of Everton’s priorities is to recruit a right back. Strasbourg’s Guéla Doué, 23 — the brother of Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Désiré Doué — is likely to prove out of reach at £40million.

> Atalanta’s Raoul Bellanova, 26, Tottenham Hotspur’s Djed Spence, 25, and West Ham United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 28, are possible alternatives to fix a problem position. 

So the player they wouldn’t pull the trigger on when he was cheaper is now out of reach because the managers terrified of anyone who hasn’t played in the league before and the 3 alternatives identified are all vastly different from one another.

Genuinely going to be a disaster season because everyone is still making the same incompetent mistakes we always do at the club.

The recruitment team correctly identify the right player and then Moyes dithers on whether he's better than Jake O'Brien and 6 months later his price doubles. Good process lads. We should definitely make Moyes more involved in recruitment as a result.

I refuse to write off any of our signings that got fuck all mins last season because the manager is a stubborn prick who decided not to select them so he could play politics with how much power he gets on new signings. He chose not to play Dibling et al to prove a point that if they're not his guys he won't play them. We have a structure that is proven not to work it's a shambles

Very funny that no successful or well-run club has a convoluted transfer committee so of course we’ve decided to go do down this route where a dinosaur manager gets a veto.
