Think he named Jordy Bos, who as a left side defender does 'the O'Rielly role' quite well, starting and finishing moves.
His stuff seems pretty well thought through and researched well.

I’m interested in his opinions on the clubs scouting strategy
I want to know:
What coaching badges he’s got?
What scouting licences he has
What management qualification he has specifically in managing a football club….
As he has a “I know it all” opinion on all of them !

Everton are reportedly keeping tabs on Parma striker Mateo Pellegrino as David Moyes looks to strengthen his attacking options this summer.
The 24-year-old Argentine scored 12 goals last season and has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including Newcastle and Brentford. However, Everton could hold an advantage in the race, with Parma's reported £25.8m asking price proving difficult for a number of Serie A sides to match.

Started as a left back/winger apparently, converted to a striker.

25 and scored 9 in Seria A last season.
Dunno, definitely fits the Moyes target man with good hold up play remit, but he's not a prolific goal scorer in an inferior league, and his age would suggest he's unlikely to become one.
Would depend on price I guess. I'd swap him for Beto so if we could sell and buy at similar prices it'd be an upgrade.

Loan with option to buy would be ok if that's what they're demanding.
I think he's a bit shit personally, but he does run the channels well and he is a natural finisher. He'd be worth a gamble at half of what they want, but £40m for a guy who scored one league goal last season and failed to score for 20 odd games is bat shit crazy.

Would you rather we cracked on with how we’ve been?
Hasn’t got us anywhere but backwards for the last 30 years like but could give it another 30 see what pops up?

Thought we'd gone back about 20 years, but the version I read in my head, as skimming, of Manuel Pellegrini coming in to replace David Moyes is better than the actual story
