Whats the story on Steinsson?

PSV have always really had great links to South America, think of R9. Brands personally doesn’t have any contacts there, apart from a few dodgy agents. The last South American Brands bought for Psv cost around €10 euros and is so terrible he has been out on loan at Velez.
Hindsight is of course wonderful.
This was my view before the season really got started and my concern with our midfield, particularly fitness.
Gomes - Injury prone, before leg break.
Gbamin - Always needed time to adjust, according to the manager on day one.
Delph - Injury prone;
How much was all the above? Then add Iwobi... Must be around £90m for Gbamin, Gomes, Iwobi and Delph. That's a lot of money in midfield, nevermind us initially paying how much for Richarlison as a winger?
It of course led to this being our midfield at the Anfield cup derby.

No mark from lower leagues, former Bolton player who is head of our European scouting.
He has identified nobody, another faceless bureaucrat stealing a wage from the club, because he’s Brands mate.
He's got 2 more windows for me. I genuinely think questions at board room level will be asked If strides aren't made this summer.
so because he played for Bolton it means he’s crap??? What an utterly bizarre thought process
Big bonus points if he was influential in bringing in Ancelotti.
But then I do worry we sacked Silva and was scrambling around seemingly without an idea when Ancelotti was still in a job.

He was a scout from the lower leagues. He did nothing with Bolton scouting wise.His football record is Irreverent. If you judge him on his actual career so far he’s done nothing to warrant a job at Everton.
Given the bizarre and tragic events of the last few months I'm not sure how accurately anyone can judge brands on a summer that was a couple of weeks long
you literally have no idea what he did or did not do at Bolton because you don’t know what his duties, responsibilities or budget was
part of his duties for us are scouting the lower leagues, and we’ve just uncovered a gem by the looks of it.
he basically came from fleetwood so you don’t like him, that’s the crux of your argument
I agree with your point on our players. However, there are so many average teams in the league that if you add 2 or 3 genuinely quality players to our load of garbage and then there’s an outside chance of pushing for top 6 or 7.
I think putting Big Dunc in charge gave them a bit of breathing space even til the end of the season if needed be.
Ancelloti becoming available was very fortuitous for the club.
More luck than judgement as they say.
Tried that with Unsworth but bottled it and had to bring in Allardyce as interim until they could get Silva.
I don't suppose we'll know anytime soon - seems we sacked Silva without knowing who would replace him.

I think he deserves next summer at least, He's being bogged down by problems that aren't even his fault, Alright the Iwobi fee is questionable, I rate the player but that was a heck of lot money to be forking over and he's just turned up how he has, Got so so unlucky with Gbamin, Delph I can see why he bought him with a low fee but being injured this much is hardly helping.
Walcott/Bolasie/Ramirez/Besic/Pennington all out of contract next summer which is absolutely enormous for us to get back on the road to recovery.
I'm a big fan of continuity though unless it's absolutely urgent see Silva and being in the bottom 3 so I'm willing to give him more time, Sick of tearing it up and going to square one again.
