All this talk of Everton "identifying targets" is intriguing, as, although we've appointed a manager and his two backroon staff, we haven't set up the scouting and recruitment structure (i. e. a Director of Football) that Mr Moshiri supposedly wants to head up those areas. Who at Everton is handling those at the moment? Does it matter for the time being?

Not seen much of him since his terrible injury, prior to that he was genuine world class. If this is real it would be a bigger coup than Koeman.

Fair enough he's only just come in but he knows the league, knows Everton he's played against them and scouted games he should know who he needs and have ideas from players he's looked at for Southampton that this squad needs.

Sid, I think the 'scout' 'identifying' these players is the journalist and who he wants to pull out his a*se each day.

This would be a great signing if he's fully over that injury. But I suspect we're going to be linked with every Dutchman on the planet.

From previous conversations on here, if I understand correctly we still have our scouting network, it's not like every single person was sacked alongside Martinez.
But I would also guess a lot of the current identified players are from journalists trying to sell stories be that from agents making unfounded claims or from spotting an Everton scout at a match those sort of things.
I could be wrong though.

{Ed025's Note - the scouting network is having a major overhaul ST as moshiri is not happy that 2 of the main scouts have outside interests mate..
