In December last year, Everton sports director Marcel Brands was fired. Two main reasons for that decision were the result crisis in the Premier League, but also the terrible management in the sports sector, which saw Toffies spending around 300 million euros on reinforcements which absolutely didn’t help them move forward. It turned out that during the time before Brands, the club didn’t spend money more carefully either. 🚨 Fabian Delph, Cenk Tosun and Gylfi Sigurdsson have all left Everton. pic.twitter.com/l8ypsCQcn7— TheMightyBlues (@MightyBluesYT) June 10, 2022 On Friday, three football players, once paid a total of 82 million euros left the club. The problem is that Gylfi Sigurdsson, Cenk Tosun and Fabian Delph left Goodison Park without compensation, as free agents. If there was a trophy for bad business, Everton would surely get one.Lukaku arrived in Italy – Inter are ready to sacrifice Dumfries, Chelsea are slowly giving upSigurdsson is still the most expensive player in the history of Everton. The Toffies paid him almost 50 million euros in the summer of 2017. The Icelander had some good matches in the Everton shirt, but he failed to lead the Toffies beyond the eighth place in the Premier League. His numbers (156 appearances, 31 goals and 25 assists) were not extraordinary, and the big shadow over his five-year stay at the club is the sex scandal with minors in which he was involved last summer and because of which he missed the entire last season.21.45: (2.00) Denmark (3.50) Croatia (4.10)In January 2018, Jenk Tosun arrived at Everton as a big winter reinforcement. Besiktas received 22.5 million euros, and the Toffies expected a ‘rain’ of goals from the Turk. His tally was 11 goals in over 60 appearances. Like Gylfi, he infamously left Goodison. The Icelander and the Turk came in the era before Marcel Brands, who paid Fabian Delph from Manchester City 9.5 million euros three years ago. The then 29-year-old was expected to be calm in the middle of the field, the leader in the locker room, but we saw only an episodic role of the former England international, 41 appearances. No goals or assist. However, he was mutilated by numerous injuries. It’s not a theory anymore: Darwin is a pivotal element in Klopp’s natural selectionThe trio that left Goodison Park fits into the business pattern typical of Everon in the last decade. For example, since 2017, the club has spent 537,000,000 euros on the purchase of football players, and earned 293,000,000 from the sale. He secured almost 30 percent of the transfer income by selling Romelu Lukaku but that was about the only thing they did right.
