There’s no doubt David Moyes is doing a fantastic job at Everton.
When David Moyes returned to Everton just over a year ago, the Toffees were staring down the barrel of relegation.
Moyes guided them to safety with ease in the end, and now they’re in a race to qualify for Europe.
Is Moyes still underappreciated by Everton fans for the job he’s doing? 🤔

But, the Scotsman is causing one issue for the club, which they’re likely to run into in the summer transfer window.
Everton may struggle to sign young talent this summer transfer window
The Friedkin Group introduced a new transfer model when they first joined Everton, which focused on signing young talent to drive down the squad’s average age.
The American investors had visions of replicating the success of Borussia Dortmund, who have developed some of the world’s best youngsters before selling them on for substantial profits.
How can Tyler Dibling actually turn things around at Everton? 🤷♂️
It's going to need some turnaround from the youngster 😫

As such, they backed Moyes with the £40m signing of Tyler Dibling last summer, and promising Bayern Munich left-back Adam Aznou also joined.
But, the Toffees manager has hardly given the aforementioned duo a chance, with Dibling starting just four Premier League games.
Aznou hasn’t even been given his Premier League debut, and the under-21s top scorer Braiden Graham is also not getting a look in.
Where do you stand on Braiden Graham… would you give him his debut? 🎯

Moyes’ treatment of the young players could cause Everton some real issues in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Toffees may now find it very difficult to attract promising youngsters, as they may be sceptical about joining Moyes’ set-up.
For instance, Everton are one of several clubs interested in signing Mateus Mane, who is a very exciting 18-year-old.
But, the chances of that transfer now look extremely slim, as Mane will probably have other suitors on the table where he’s more likely to get regular game time.
So, the Friedkins may have to pivot away from their previous recruitment strategy whilst Moyes is at the helm.
And, they’ll probably be content to do so, as the Toffees manager is backing up his decisions with positive results on the whole.
