Same position, more points that the previous season in Silva's first season. Then he lost Gueye and Zouma and got no-one to replace them.
How well did Ancelotti do with Gomes, Bernard and Iwobi? Bernard is already gone having done not much at all and Gomes should follow suit. Iwobi is the most hated player in the current squad. Mina had several injuries during his first season and only managed 10 starts in total. Tosun is clearly not PL quality. Calvert-Lewin started exactly half the matches in 18-19 season and one less before that so how he was more loved by Koeman I don't know.
Allardyce's team got outshot pretty much in every match. If you are happy with that then fine. Silva tried to be more expansive. 17-18 season goal difference was -14. After Silva's full season it was +8. So he improved GD by a massive 22 goals.

He could offer the thrust we need to break the barrier of Euro football.

And just like that, it was just reported Markelo has moved to PSV.
Scouting is not the main issue but competition. Every half-decent club can afford a tool like Wyscout etc. where you can get all the stats you need and even video clips. So it's much easier to narrow down and that's why every promising player is quickly on the radar of every team.
So the problem is convincing these lads to join Everton instead of a dozen other suitors, most with much better records developing youngsters.

Silva was dealt a really poor hand. Lost team's best midfielder and his replacement has played less than two matches since. Didn't get the forward he wanted so depended on an unproven striker. Ancelotti got two midfielders and a defender for big money and couldn't do much better.

I was thinking about Anne.. I mean Andre-Frank but if you know something about patto, spill it out!

Not a bad wine that.

He gets them good deals. We might not like him but for his clients he does a good job.

It that's his motivation at twenty-five I'm glad he's not coming anywhere near our club.

And anyone from England is closer to PL gossip than someone from Portugal. Still  doesn't mean everyone from the England knows something.

Debt is ok if you have invested it into something that makes more money.

Dortmund have changed managers several times, yet keep doing well. This whole idea managers sign players is a British thing. Clubs in continent have always had a head coach rather than a manager. They don't necessarily have a DoF, could be a bunch of people making the decisions. But the idea that the same guy who coaches players also signs them is a bit alien.

Obviously desperate to avoid joining Everton.

Even if he does well Mike, will we ever love him? Will he feel like one of us? Will we have a connection to him? We we have the connection we had with Moyes? Or Even Roberto in the first season or so? Will we have the connection with him the reds have with him?
I want to love our manager. I want to love our players. We don’t have enough players who are that likeable, let alone loveable. 
 
I look back at some players and remember how connected to I felt to them. Baines, Jags, Cahill, Osman, Seamus, Pienaar, Naismith, Howard, even Donovan on loan. I felt like these players were like us but on the pitch. I felt the same about Moyes. I want to feel like they have the same feelings for us. With Rafa, it’s impossible to feel like that. 
 
Everton is all about how they make me feel. The connection to my Dad, my uncles, my cousins, my friends, you lot on TT. The appointment of Rafa (if it happens) doesn’t feel like I’m as connected to the club as I’d like to. 
 
That might sound like some lovey dovey crap, but that’s how it makes me feel. I’ve cried tears of sorrow and tears of joy for this club. Rafa won’t ever know how that feels, not for Everton. 

Benitez's style has never been like that. It's basically boring shite.
