I don't know much about him besides what I've read since he was hired. But he has had success with a variety of clubs. What I like most about it is that this seems to have been Farhad Moshiri's first choice. In spite of him already being a manager in the Premier League, with a club that finished above us last year, he still managed to get him to come to Everton. That is a big statement of intent to me. That Moshiri means business and he means to make Everton a big player again.
I like the approach so far - though nothing definitive in all the Lukaku / Stones / Barkley fog, it seems the club is being aggressive in identifying & pursuing players that are skilled and will cost some real dinero....
Still hoping for that signing that signals our intent to be a top contender. Although it's all rumor, it is nice to be linked with some bigger names like Witsel. We will have to wait and see what comes of it all.
