…I have no idea, Cameron. its a major problem unearthing young talent. When I was a kid all we did was play footy in the street, all the time we were developing our skills but you rarely see it now.
There is a recruitment issue at Everton but it will take many years for Unsworth to make a difference if the club are bringing kids in at 8 years of age.
Unsworth might well be useless but I don’t really see any convincing evidence that the problems lie elsewhere. I would point out, he was the one who went to the Board & recommended they buy DCL.
That was just one player, turned out to be a very good one, Eggs, and quite a few more have been brought in for decent money and have gone with hardly any bringing decent money back, although I’d stress I don’t know who recommended them.
Unsworth had successful seasons but only when playing senior players like Niasse and Pennington, he could ask for players like Davies, when fit, and Jonjo Kenny,and be doing them a favour if he was allowed to play them,Jonjo, like Knouknou last season, has hardly kicked a ball all season for any of Everton’s teams, yet if called upon on Monday will be expected to go straight into the team and perform well!!
Sorry for the rant Eggs, a lot of that post has nothing to do with you!!
