We are miles away from that model. We go looking for a player and come back with Young...

Starts for Belgium v Azerbaijan in just under 30 minutes, if you feel like casting an eye.
All I want is an injury free game.
BOOM!
This. I don’t think signing “prem proven” or “ finished article” is what we should be doing as our recruitment is terrible and when they don’t perform we can sell them.
Taking a chance on younger players is the only way we will progress imo.
We just have to improve our scouting and ability to improve players.
If he had signed Haaland when we had the chance I am 99% certain he would be nowhere near the player he is now.
We have to get the reputation for progressing young players, like Ajax, Dortmund etc … even like Brighton.
We need to make sure they have a clear pathway to the first team and a proven track record of giving youth a chance.
That way, when we are sitting down with a 15 year old and his parents , we can show them case studies and examples of previous youth players and hopefully that will enable us to attract the best young players in the country , Europe and eventually the planet.

Unfortunately, it's possible if you take the condition of this pitch into consideration. Fingers crossed.

Yes Young is a buy, even free, we are forced to accept because of the state the club is in financially, at the moment beggars can’t be choosers and it’s possible Dyche has brought him into the club because of his experience, there are definitely hardly any characters in the squad take away Seamus and Tarkowski, and Young might give some advice on the field to the younger players, it looks like Beto could be another character as well as a good physical player to bring some fear into the oppositio.

Belgium have been very average today
Lukaku is just an expensive Heskey
Lukaku is just an expensive Heskey
Lukaku has been a top level striker in his day.
Considering you claim below average youngsters to be special it's a bit of a shock.

In his day was Everton.
We had the peak Lukaku. I have no idea why Mourinho got him in the gym and on the protein shakes when he took him to UTD.
Everton and Lukaku were right for each other. (pity he didn't believe it and gobbed off at every opportunity)
Played 90minutes.
Was "rated" the 4th best player on the ptch.

This isn't the place to discuss this but if you could show where I've ever said that any current Everton player is special then that'd be magic cheers
Litterally magic as I've never said any such thing
Even todays Belgium would beat this Everton team
Lukaku's record at 21 years of age was unreal.
Unlike some fraud at the minute.
Well played Onana on a great performance today.
