There is value to be had there. Generally because they aren't good enough to make the step up.

I love Oli McBurnie as a lad and was quite fond of him as a player when he was at ours, but he isn't even good enough for a mid-level Championship club like my own to consider paying maybe 1.2-1.5m in a signing on fee plus wages in excess of mid-20s grand a week.

If he isn't good enough for us, a club with admittedly limited resources who have to be a bit choosey in how it allocates its cash, then I'm not sure he was ever going to be what Everton require.
