Why, despite sneers from afar, Everton’s summer transfer strategy represents a welcome change in approach
Everton kick off their 20-21 season campaign against Spurs, Sunday 13 September. Ask 20 Evertonians for their pick from the assortment of nadirs last season and you will likely get 20 different answers. Either of the two derby debacles across Stanley Park will get a mention. As will the limp defeats to each of the three newly-promoted sides, the Black Country bruising Wolves dished out or the tame surrender at Stamford Bridge. Quite literally, there…
