Unlike the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United, Everton cannot afford to splash huge amounts of money on proven world-class talent. The history of the club is a large allure to many who have joined over the years, but sadly in this modern football climate, money talks. Despite the fact they paid £28 million for Chelseas Romelu Lukaku this summer, that was a result of the increased money the club made from the new TV revenue deal that was agreed this year, and the sale of Marouane Fellaini to Manchester United the previous summer. In fact, the club is forced to often look to its youth academy for the next bright star of the future, with it becoming a club policy to develop young players that can become future first team players. That has been evidenced across the David Moyes era at the club, and indeed more recently under Roberto Martinez, as the club sign the likes of John Stones and Brendan Galloway with an eye on the future. This system requires an excellent scouting network that the manager trusts, although not everyone immediately shows his potential. Conversely, some players just fail to settle at certain clubs and find that moving away is the best for their career, where increased game time and reduced pressure, or in the case of some players a higher standard of football, help their development. Whatever the individual case, read on to discover 9 Players Who Have Flourished Since Leaving Everton.
