who did he spot and develope that is worth noting?
Strootman, Mertens, Wijnaldum, Propper, Lozano, Depay all for PSV
Moussa Dembele, Pelle, Sergio Romero, Klavan, Ozyakup all for AZ

That's part of our problem though, one contract and they are set up for life, no thoughts about working harder to get a pay rise as they are already on twice what any normal club would give them.

Not impress mate. Hardly any of them are game changer. Maybe Mertens but that list is not impressive if you read the article below and compare with Belgium academy.

My question is, what is Brand’s main role? Recruiting potential or in charge of senior establish player acquisition? If it’s the latter, we’re heading into the unknown as he’s not well known for that.
Ah right forget it then. Better stick with the tried and tested Steven Walsh.

Dembele's probably the best midfielder in the Premier League like, but OK.Not impress mate. Hardly any of them are game changer. Maybe Mertens but that list is not impressive if you read the article below and compare with Belgium academy.

Surely it’s not about who scouted who or signed who. Surely we need Brands or any DOF to come in and restructure the whole recruitment and scouting side, transfer negotiations, coaching structure, academy set up, loan system, managerial appointments etc. It’s not just about ‘yeah but he bought Kante’, we need someone able to run the whole operation because no one else at Everton can.
That’s worrying isn’t it. Importing the Dutch method and blueprint seems outdated and ineffective as far as we can see now. Of all the prominent league in Europe, Dutch league lags behind by a long way.
We might as well recruit the dof of Leipzig. Building a very decent team there.
