Brands get's credit for securing the deals in terms of money but we all appreciate they wanted to come here for Ancelotti.

Give Walsh credit for the £2m fee but we all should appreciate Unsworth got DCL to the club.
That's fair enough.

I was also going to include Richarlison, but then Brands went back in for Doucoure after Silva left, so maybe that's not as cut and dry.
 
Well, the notion the club let Unsworth purchase a player is preposterous.
There was a story in The Athletic about the Iwobi signing that I think was very telling, I cant link it due to the rules and threat of legal action, but heres a transcript.

Marco Silva : Hi Marcel, I want to sign Alex Iwobi
Marcel Brands : No Marco, hes rubbish, I want to sign Zaha
MS : Listen here you skinny jeans jug head, have you seen my watch?
MB : Whatever, cant wait to sack you

In reality it went like this:

MS: get me any RW - Ilm not even arsed at this stage
MB: leave it with me
<calls Iwobi>
MS: are you fit?
AI: no
MB: welcome to Everton football club
