✍️The skewed perception of player development in football
📄A think piece on factors that I think have led people to look at player development in a too linear fashion and why these factors have caused this viewpoint to form

Top top progressor of the ball whether it’s carrying or passing. However, his off the ball stuff is supremely suspect and he needs the right partner and whether that is garner I’m not sure tbh
Everton are working on a deal to sign Hayden Hackney from Middlesborough. The 23-year-old is attracting strong interest from several Premier League clubs, but Everton are working intensely to convince Hackney that Merseyside is the right step in his career 🔵
Jumping on this early Brighton are, started this season for AIK on the right and his dribbling has been ridiculous, extremely direct and hits the line with his pace and dribbling
Massive potential and really exciting winger
🚨💣 Brighton förbereder ett monsterbud på AIK:s Zadok Yohanna. Budet är värt €22/23 miljoner – vilket motsvarar mellan 236-247 miljoner kr. #BHAFC är väldigt måna om att värva talangen. Det återstår att se hur situationen utvecklar sig kommande veckor. https://t.co/xV9DZqyEuU
@Everton__1234 Fair enough then mate, agree with the fee on Dibling but still think he’s a huge talent and KDH for me is a success. Criminal how underused as Aznou has been
@Everton__1234 Potentially, but I think the outcome of the signings we made last summer is different with someone else in charge. That’s what I think it comes down to, as individual players there’s talent there for me
🗞️Everton have made an enquiry to Sporting over Greek Right Back Georgios Vagiannidis. The 24 year old is available for as little as €10M. Villarreal have also enquired

Passing is a bit loose when he’s played centrally but he’s very agile and a good carrier due to his physicality. Off the ball he’s a strong tackler and combative.
Good talent but got no hope Moyes would play him
🗞️🇨🇩Everton are interested in Lille midfielder Ngal’ayel Mukau.
The 21-year-old played a leading role in Lille’s third-place finish this season & is heading to the World Cup with DR Congo.
Tottenham & Aston Villa are amongst other sides keen.

Be great recruitment from Brentford this, one of the most dangerous up and coming wingers about. Be exciting to see him in the league, except when he plays Everton of course
🚨🆕 Brentford have submitted an offer worth €45m (€40m fixed + €5m add-ons) to 1. FC Köln for Said El Mala.
Köln have not responded yet. They still want at least €50m, after @AxelHesse1. Confirmed. #Effzeh
El Mala has not yet agreed terms with Brentford. The player first wants the clubs to negotiate. @SkySportDE 🇩🇪
TFG seriously need to get a grip here and streamline the vision because we can’t afford to have another stint with different departments in different directions.
You either want to buy for the now (managers vision) or you have long term signings (recruitment teams vision)
Sunderland secured (7th) Europa league with 54 points.
With 7 games to play Everton had 46 points. 3 wins from 7 games is all we needed. And they didn’t win a single one.
Just can’t defend that.
Wow! Never saw this coming! Chelsea signing one of Strasbourg’s best players😱
The notion that Strasbourg are “letting go” of barco is hilarious, like they have a choice
🚨🔵 Chelsea agree deal to sign Valentín Barco, here we go! 🇦🇷
Agreement in place with the player as RC Strasbourg will let Barco go after impressive improvement this year.
#CFC ready to proceed for the Argentinian midfielder from June.
🗞️Signing a new right back is a priority for Everton this Summer.
Everton plan to trigger their option to extend Mykolenko’s contract by a year with talks expected over a longer deal. Cover at Left Back will almost certainly be sought this Summer
