Moyes-Doctrine: School of Science and Moyes are the attraction to young talents

Everton have succeeded this month in attracting two teenage major talents to our ranks in the form of Shkodran Mustafi and Luke Garbutt, but doing so at best cost to Everton FC. The club and Moyes should be saluted for being "on the ball" in bringing such talent into the Everton fold, with Ken Bates (Leeds United chairman) spitting feathers on BBC radio, the regulations are quite clear, and despite Mr Bates rhetoric - FIFA's training fee compensation, from Everton to Leeds is straightforward and clear, and Mr Bates will not be receiving the millions he's implied in the media.

With us also being in for Kyle Naughton and Fabian Delph, as well as continental talents Stephen Defour and Joao Moutinho, the question has to be asked - why are Everton FC now able to flex their muscle in bringing top talent to Liverpool?

The answer is simple. David Moyes - heading The School of Science.

Players who come to Everton go up a level with the Toffees. Training under the top "player development manager" in Moyes, supported by his staff, the players are learning their trade at Finch Farm training facility - The (new) School of Science. Moyes can spot the talent early and more often than not bring them along.
The obvious impacts of young Jack Rodwell, Dan Gosling, Baines, Jo - a player with development to come - plus former championship players like Lescott, Cahill, Jagielka becoming international players with Everton, we give players the chance to impress and express that nothing but the best is good enough. If they show it and the desire to play for Evertonians and not just money - to compete - then a blue will always get lifted to hero status at Everton, where the fans are a breed apart.

Moyes and the School of Science have shown just what Everton is all about. We have a track record for making players take the next step - to step upwards at Everton, itself a necessary waypoint in bringing trophies to Goodison Park - Liverpool.

The media now know this is the major attraction for players to come to Everton. Its not all about money, its about the football, about the club culture, about Everton's supporters and about the stability Everton can give a player to thrive. David Moyes has taken Everton's player development back to the days of our own Harry Catterick - Manchester United may play at the Theatre of Dreams, but our place isn't a marketing ploy. Our place is about getting the best out of players - The School of Science. It's something Everton have always strived for - and like Catterick, its something Moyes has the ability to do. Any Evertonian only has to look at how our playing style has changed as Moyes has brought in his signings, last season utilising wing-backs and playing a mixed passing style. This season Moyes wants balance and to have orthodox wingers available for the campaign.
