Gilbert..
Player Valuation: £50m
We've very little to offer if we're competing with clubs who can give them european football. Other than possibly money. Its a bit of a double edged sword.
You have to either grow your own or have your recruitment so spot on. Hate to use them but Brighton. Bought cucurella. He was a 23yr old left back playing regular for Getafe. A 15m ready to play first team football. Brighton were not in Europe.
It comes down to how your club is run and organised. Everton have been the complete opposite to that.
Im gona drop it coz im even boring myself. But we've again gone into this season with one single fullback who was experienced enough to go with. No right backs, other than a centre half deputising.
Mind you we were so ridiculously short everywhere else we had to concetrate on that as well.
One thing Moyes said the other day was spot on. Trying to attract better quality of player with no European football is not easy. Thats where you need a fantastic scouting network.
