Their last game of the season is against Liverpool. If they can or already have won the league by then we should totally have that game at GoodisonGot a message on twitter about this, I have put it to the fans forum to see if there's anything we can do to persuade for that to happen, it may already be in the planning though.

It was Sambou - Donkor was No 11.
He looks an exciting prospect does Sambou, quick and has an eye for goal.
Liam Walsh has looked a tidy player whenever I've seen him too.

City won earlier to cut the gap to 3 points. Our U23s are in action against Arsenal, and just went up 1-0 in the 86th minute through Nathan Broadhead. Looks like that's the final, so we restore the 6 point lead atop the table!Thought broadbend had left

Looks like it. Southampton, at Manchester City, at Derby, Tottenham, at Chelsea, and Liverpool. The City game is massive, as we could potentially open up a 9 point gap with four games remaining, and conceivably wrap up the title the following match.

Pennington seems to be getting lots of plaudits today. I know he's been injured for a while and he's now 22 but is he good enough to make it? Anyone seen much of him? He seemed to be overlooked in the Browning/Stones/Holgate hype.
Only seen him limited times but I dont think he will make it at us, seems the type that will end up going to a Championship team and could then rise into becoming a premier league level defender. He isnt massive, not small either but I'm unsure whether he lacks a bit of pace but certainly seems like he knows how to defend when ive seen him at various levels.
Given we are heavily linked with Keane and VVD, looked like we tried for Manolas etc a major centre half signing is one of our priorities. If we get that signing, have Williams, Mori, Holgate ahead of him then it's hard to see where he will get many games. At his age 22 it is getting to the point where he is that far down the order that he himself must be thinking is it better to look down the Forshaw route and go and play week in week out at a lower level and build a career.

Let's get him out on loan to a decent championship side so that we can put him in the shop window and get some proper money for him then. Letting his contract run down after a stint at somewhere like Oxford is what the old Everton used to do with our half decent prospects.

Much rather we do right by the academy graduates that don't make the grade here and look to set them on the best career path for themselves rather than worry about making a few million pound here and there.
We've a duty of career after all and still need to help them make the most of their career and talent as an when a decision is made to move them on.
Which is why striving to send them out on loan at the highest possible level is the best we can do for them. I clearly don't know the ins and outs but players like Ledson for example, who was highly rated by everyone not just within the club but at international level, finds himself at Oxford and others like him find themselves lost in the lower leagues. Whereas the shite's obscure reserves find themselves still at a decent level when they move on.
I think the more professional setup we have now will reap dividends not just for us but for the kids as well.

No sending them to the club that offers them the best possible opportunities of advancement is the right thing to for them, you only have to see how Galloway has fared this season at West Brom to see that. If he'd have gone to Newcastle or Derby it's likely he'd have came back in the summer with 40 odd senior games under his belt rather than having spent 40 odd games sat on his backside. Sadly we decided to prioritise the money over the players advancement and we and him will be worse off for it in the long run.
I can't believe youre making a comparison to the shite as well. Our academy has proven far superior over the last 20+ years in comparison to theirs. We've produced footballers fit for the premiership time and again in that period, saving ourselves multiple millions in the process, as well as launching dozens of local kids into professional football.
It's a ridiculous point, the sale of Wayne Rooney alone has probably eclipsed whatever the shite have gained from their graduate sales in the last 20 years, that's before you factor in the fees for Rodwell, Anichebe, Vaughan.....
All we need to do is carry on doing right by individual like we have been, it's clearly working.
Do right by each and every graduate and don't treat them as pieces of meat.

There was nothing wrong with the Galloway loan in principle, he'd be getting valuable experience at the top level under a defensive manager. He started the season playing in the 1st team but a run of poor form and the failure to put in a recall clause meant it wasn't as beneficial as planned. It was definitely worth a shot.
As I said, the new setup we have across the whole club will benefit everyone concerned now from top to bottom.

What apart from the simple fact Pulis has no history of developing young talent?
He was taken in as back up when they had an injury crisis and as soon as senior players were fit they took his place. It wasn't to do with form that he was dropped, because Galloways form was fine, in fact they did quite well in the 3 games he started in if I recall correctly. It was just a poor choice of club and just because they're a premiership club, a "big club", shouldn't come into it for what should be obvious reasons.
I'm also pretty sure you can't place a recall option when it's a long term loan is between two premiership clubs.

It takes three to tango. They wanted him, he wanted to go, we wanted him to prove that he's Prem standard. Let's get the deal done.
I don't remember anyone moaning that he went there, with many enthused that it was smart business. At the end of the day it's Galloway' a fault that he can't overtake Chris Brunt as West Brom's left back.

Chelsea did with ake which is why they brought him back in January.
Post by: Jamokachi on February 08, 2017, 09:13:51 AM
At West Brom he's behind some good players in that West Brom team, guys who are having a great season. There's no shame in not being able to force his way in. Neither is he a left back by trade. We played him there and he looked alright but he's a centre back. Given Pulis' penchant for absolute cloggers at the back does Galloway actually fit the mold?
More realistically West Brom saw a cheap option of providing cover for their defence. If we are interested in the development of the player and see him as a long term option this isn't good for us. Neither is it good for the player.
Perhaps we don't see his future with us? Perhaps we were lead on by West Brom and this was their intentions all along? Perhaps Pulis simply doesn't rate Galloway as much as he thought he did and plans have changed?
If we do see his future with us, then West Brom was the wrong option. That much is obvious.

Sorry I cannot see your point ,if the u23's win the league then it will instill a winning mentality that can't be bought and would far outweigh any -well let's be honest here ( no chance ) of going higher in the prem

"Regaining"? What the hell are we talking about? Lookman and Davies are first team regulars, there's been the one game where Lookman didn't even come off the bench, but other than that, they're playing in every game.
Would it help them develop a winning mentality by winning a kids competition nobody cares about? Or would it help the kids that the "big boys" come down and win the league for them? How?
And what sort of message would that send out anyway? "You're nice lads but we don't trust you to win the league on your own, so we've brought in some help for you."
Let them bounce back after a poor performance and win it under their own steam. They're more than capable of it.
That, and only that would be of any use to them as professionals.

And what sort of message would that send out anyway? "You're nice lads but we don't trust you to win the league on your own, so we've brought in some help for you."
Let them bounce back after a poor performance and win it under their own steam. They're more than capable of it.
That, and only that would be of any use to them as professionals.
Well I see the point you are making ,let me clarify it for my sake . First you think that it is a competition that no one cares about ! ask the lads and Unsy .Second you think that them playing against kids would be a "drop down" for Lookman and Davies ! That is what they are and they most probably will not hold down a regular place yet anyway .Thirdly you also think that them playing two games is going to change the achievement for the u23's ! They must be already pissed because they had Niasse scoring a few goals and Davies played a lot of games for them already .Thought about this whilst writing and it seems you don't understand

In my opinion he has been as poor as Williams and Mori this season when played centre half. He clearly isn't ready to be playing there regularly.

No these players have been part of our very successful defence this season. You'd think they'd spent the season conceding goals and shitting in everyone's kettles the way people on here talk about them. I'm not talking about a 6 game competition where you only play 3 sides of similar quality
Joel, Williams and Mori have all been part of our success this season. That doesn't mean we shouldn't sign better/competition but it probably does mean claims that they are shit are wide of the mark and comments like "I hate him" a little odd

Well, saying that you hate a player who tries his best is a little odd, whether they're any good or not.
And I certainly don't sign up to the whole good-shit spectrum stuff at all. You can't reduce a player's ability to just one number representing his quality.
The way I see it (and I'm probably wrong) is that Williams and Mori are quite dependable up to a point. But if you put pressure on them beyond that point, they crumble. Like Mori against Spurs, we know his passing ability is virtually non-existent, which is normally not a massive deal, except when the opposition targets it.
So it is quite possible that we'd be better off overall with defenders who aren't even as dependable against (for want of a better word) "lesser" teams but their performance degrades less dramatically against tough opposition.

Hmm, that does look quite different. But maybe it's just a general reflection of how poor we were. Surely, Williams's forward passing must have been similarly wayward.

Hmmm missed Alderweireld off deliberately or couldn't you find him? Forget the fact Williams only passed the ball about 30 times compared to Mori playing it 60ish? Did you bother seeing the pass completing stats between Vertonghen and Mori?

Alderweireld failed with quite a few of his forward passes, but we put absolutely no pressure on him. And he still succeeded with more.
Forget the fact Williams only passed the ball about 30 times compared to Mori playing it 60ish?
Exactamundo, my dear @Ross (http://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=2316). It is precisely what I'm talking about. They were happy for Mori to have the ball and give it to them. Thank you for confirming it. :)
Did you bother seeing the pass completing stats between Vertonghen and Mori?
No, because they are meaningless for central defenders, seeing as they mostly pass between each other. As everybody who knows anything about football knows.
It's always better to believe your eyes rather than relying on the narrow sliver of information these boiled down stats give you.

You can't use how many passes someone has over the other centre half when Spurs clearly left mori open to force us to him and closed down options to get it to other people. Centre half passing % should be very high as most of the time it's to their centre half partner, keeper or midfielder a few yards away.
i haven't reviewed the stats but I don't need to remember the number of times mori put it straight out, easier passes didn't go near men. One of his problems is he seems to have grand ideas he is a footballing centre half so instead of when he is stuck with no pass on and under pressure just playing the percentage ball of say putting it in the channel he tries something he shouldn't.

Must be getting told to play it, can't see Koeman not just seeing his arse after the second or third one.
jags Williams and him are all guilty of the feckless punt, Williams even cleared a ball directly into the middle of the pitch at the weekend.
Fell straight to their 10, luckily enough it was some clogger and not hazard or god forbid coutinho.

Stubbs got the hibs job doing a much worse job.
Obviously I'd like him to stay and continue his good work but it'll be interesting to see how he gets on.
I've wondered for a while why there isn't a loan system for coaches like there is for players.
We could send unsy somewhere for 2 years for example.
It'd be cheap for the hiring club as they wouldn't have to pay full manager wages, there wouldn't be potential compensation packages etc. should things not be working out and they'd have access to up and coming coaches from the top clubs.
The coaches would have to take a potential hit on what they might be earning if they were working independently (outside of the loan system) but they might be offered more opportunities if the financial risk is lower and therefore gain more exposure.
Meanwhile we would get to see these coaches in the real world.
I think part of the reason may be that there's still a need in England to think that your manager might be there for 5-10 years and therefore a short term loan isn't ideal. But I think everything is moving away from this so maybe it will happen?

I think conflict of interest is probably the biggest one. A player going out on loan can't really change much. A manager has quite a bit of influence.

Dowell is definitely someone worth keeping on until he's 22/23 even if it's not obvious that he's going to make it.
Much like Ossie, that type of player who isn't that fast needs time and matches to appreciate what they need to do to get round this.
Hopefully we can find him a club on loan who will play him all the time to get him some of that experience.

Maybe I should have elaborated, but I never released I could have such a compelling effect on the lad.
How he plays and some of the goals he has scored reminds of Le Tiss but with more of a swagger, albeit at a completely different level. So I enjoy watching him play partly because he reminds me of another player I enjoyed watching in the past (who was a lazy bastard). So much so that I did indeed decide to watch some of the old Le Tissier goals from back in the day.
In addition, I also think he has the look of a young Lee Mavers about him, and although I'm not expecting him to write the next 'looking glass', I did put on The LA's album last week.

It's not much in football terms, but ignore that for a moment and just think about it: you pay £1m so that a 15 year old kid can come and kick a ball around with you rather than someone else.
We don't wanna go down that road... there's no stadiums built if we go down that road...

Assume it's the Chalobah that's playing for Chelsea in there too.
It's very hard to track player potential at national level for those age groups.
Although I think these are important games for the u19s so they may have requested those two for example.

So they may think it is more beneficial for players to stick together and get the experiences of playing every age group rather than keep shifting people up and down.

No complaints about Calvert-Lewin or Lookman. They need games so it's fair to slot them in when they aren't involved with the first team.
Also... Galloway is back?
Edit: And yes, it's dumb for me to pick holes in a U23 team, especially given that Unsworth clearly knows what he's doing. I'm aware of this.

So impressed with U23s, I reckon there has to be 5 or 6 at least who will make it in the top 2 divisions for sure, lets hope they turn out to be of the elite and in our first team. Loved Mo Besic's game as well, great to see him back (but I could be biased). With Coleman's injury, surely Kenny has to be given an opportunity sooner rather than later, right?
Besic was dogshit yesterday, but clearly massively unfit.
Fullbacks looked great though.

I would assume there are fairly strict safety rules on crowd admission to a stadium like Goodison Park, and possibly one of them is that you can't just let people in without keeping track.

Free entry for last game, hopefully be a decent crowd.............from The Echo <<<<<<<<<
Blues U23s hope for huge crowd
verton are hoping to attract a crowd of 20,000 for the night they lift the Premier League 2 trophy.
The Blues’ under-23s were confirmed as champions last night as second-placed Manchester City lost 3-2 to Liverpool at Prenton Park.
Everton have an unassailable six point lead heading into their final game of the season at Goodison on May, 8 - against the Reds.
The club have announced that the game is free entry for all supporters and coach David Unsworth wants his side to finish the season with a flourish in front of a bumper attendance.
Unsy said:
We have a massive game at Goodison and I’m sure there are going to be around 20,000 there.
“So we need to finish off in style when we lift the trophy.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Lets face it, it can't do any harm. Its better that these players are playing regularly and its nice that they're winning things together with the Everton mentality than spread out all over the country at different teams on loan. Could be building a future spine of our team.
Course, you'll never win anything with kids ;)

How much do we think this means/doesn't mean then? Was listening to a journo, Mike Calvin, on the Echo podcast the other day who has just written a book on youth football saying that the PL2 is basically a load of old shite, and largely ineffective in producing the level of football and players needed to break into Prem teams. He was saying that's why so many clubs loan their best prospects out...................there are 2 divisions of 12 teams each. Only 15 of the current PL have entered teams
Don't mean to put a downer on things, because I'm buzzing for the lads, but it did give me pause for thought.
Not surprisingly ,the top 7 in the PL2 is the same clubs as the PL with the strange exception of Sunderland instead of Man U. I think it's useful and it's the nearest thing there's been to an old fashioned reserve league like we used to have years ago.

You can never quite tell, can you?
However, we've already had three players in DCL, Davies and Holgate become permanent fixtures in the first team, Pennington coming in, as well as dowell, Kenny and Connolly playing last season, Galloway too.
All looking very adept at premier league level.
Granted, the challenge comes when you have a run of games and try to hold your place down but the signs are very promising.
Some of them will make it here, some will fall short but still have good careers in the premier league and they're varying different factors that will come into player. For example, I'd say dowell is the most technically gifted player we've had in the youth ranks since Barkley, but he strikes me as someone who's not quite good enough to make the step up. Then there's someone like Davies, who isn't as good on the ball bit just looks like a premier league player.
One things for sure, it's the most promising crop of youngsters in the country at the moment and it's great to be able to call upon such talents when needed.
Also, dare I say Roberto Martinez deserves a semblance of credit?

In the past two-and-a-half years, the national and international scouting network has expanded from nine scouts to 109 working across the UK and at all major international youth tournaments.
The goal, now achievable, is to scout every team of each of the 92 Football League clubs from Under-9 to Under-16 every season; effectively to know every single professional youth player in the country.

Mate of mine his kid has been offered a place at their academy with an offer to pay for his private education and all kinds of other incentives. It's tempting for my mate to recommend he take it as even if he doesn't make it, which is likely, he's had access to an education and experience he'd otherwise not have been able to get close to.

Isn't that what you have to do now? That's what Liverpool got in trouble for not doing.
If you want to offer one kid free school as a deal sweetener cos he looks the dogs bollocks then you've got to offer the same to every kid in your academy.
Great for the kids, and not like the football clubs can't afford it.

Hasn't worked out too great for them so far, throwing money at every bit of talent they spot. City just hoover up every kid who stands out in the whole area and hope one of them turns out to be a star. Have done for the past decade. Nothing even makes the bench, barring Iheanacho, and even he's been sidelined now.
They're a strange club who are kind of lost in who they are and what they are trying to achieve.. They spend vast amounts on their academy and youth recruitment but then give their managers unlimited funds to buy a trophy. I know a few people on their coaching staff at that level and they're a bit disillusioned with what they're expected to achieve and where the continuity is from one level to the next.
Although we only just beat them to the U-23 title it looks like we're miles apart in the model we operate. Probably by necessity but still, at least kids can see the career progression.

He's got a point though. We've already seen five kids step up to the first team this season, with varying success, and they'll all probably stay there for next season. To make the next jump to a top 4 challenge we need players who can make an impact and win games not just take part in games. That costs big money though. Over to you Steve.

Said this at the game on Sat.
We've got no guarantees as options on the bench in the attacking areas.
It's good for youngsters to play ahead of people like Kone or equivalents as they'd be wasted minutes but if we're going to make bigger strides more quickly we need players who you know are going to be able to produce.
In reality our front 3 has Lukaku as a natural and performing fit; Barkley who has found a niche on the right and improved his decision making and creative play at home but still doesn't score enough; and on the left has been a rotation of players who for varying reasons haven't been good enough often enough.
That's without the plan that we'd have 2/3 subs who theoretically should be challenging the 3 starting players for their places.
So then bear in mind that the youngsters in the u23 team are behind those who are in and around the first team.
Post by: GLewis on April 28, 2017, 09:16:33 PM
He said the same thing about Davies too at the start of the season. When they'll be ready, they'll hopefully be given a chance.
Yes.
Plus the end of the season (winning something or not) isn't some sort of qualifying milestone.
It doesn't mean that players now have to be ready or that's it.

I was sat MS in line with the park end and didn't see any cans. Saw a tropical luco hit the pitch after our goal like but that was thrown from the MS.
From our side Beni and Kenny looked good, the rest looked like kids. Even Besic.
They also didn't look particularly good. Gruijic looked like the only grown up on the pitch, and their n.9 was a pacey trouble. Most uneasy I've seen Feeney and Pennington tbh, both looked a bit jarg on the ball, barring one good pass from Feeney in the second half.
Oh and I liked Sambou, ran his bollocks off and looked like he had a little bit on the ball but he never really got a chance. Dyson put himself about abit but looked a bit like a knucklehead if you know what I mean.

Allegedly
Everton are interested in signing Boris Mathis, very interested if L’Equipe are to be believed.
The French newspaper, in their Saturday edition, say Everton are the ‘most serious’ option for Mathis right now. L’Equipe go as far as saying the Metz player ‘could leave Lorraine very soon and sign a first professional contract with a Premier League club.’
Le Republicain Lorraine (http://www.republicain-lorrain.fr/sports/2017/06/30/football-le-jeune-attaquant-du-fc-metz-boris-mathis-s-engage-avec-everton), a local media outlet, say Mathis has already signed a two year contract with Everton, but they base that on a tweet from their journalist Jean-Séb Gallois, since deleted.
Gallois later sent out another tweet (https://twitter.com/RLgallois/status/880828511736528896), without the 2 year timeframe, saying Mathis has agreed to join Everton.

Every reason to be. So unpredictable at that age that one of these players not labelled wonderkids could actually be the one to kick on. Look at Michael Keane. Worst case scenario they never make it to the first team, but they help the rest of the lads win U23s, so that when they come up they're winners and they're confident in their abilities. I really like this initiative.

The lad we had on loan who got injured right away?
That's him. Got some good reviews here and we're obviously keen to see abit more of him.
Maybe a big day Monday with a load of U23's and a few first teamers.

It's very strange. I think you'd have to actively avoid young blues in order to leave them out of this type of thing. I mean, were top of the youth pile at the moment in many ways. So how on earth could none of the lads feature?

Geordies are fuming about this young left back we are taking from them. Looks like they expected him to break into the first team this season.Maybe this is our back up/Baines' long term replacement.
Or we are doing what Chelsea and City do and stockpiling players to sell at a later date.

A bit of both probably. If one doesn't work they're an income stream to buy someone who does.

Well they've made about £130m in sales since January so it's clearly a model that works. Although I'd like to think we'd be doing this with a view to a proportion of them actually making it with us and saving us a fortune like.

Last years U23 league winners, those good enough, move them into the senior squad, for those not quite there, loan them out and spend a not inconsiderable amount replacing them. It makes an already enviable youth set up even stronger

Apparently he just sits on a stool near Unsy everyday, whenever one of the younger lads fuck up or show a little bit of disobedience Unsy stands up, points at Baxter and says to the young lad "do you want to end up like him", it soon refocuses them.

We've signed a lad called Dennis - not that Dennis, sorry @Toddacelli (http://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=2432) - but an 18 year old from Fulham for £4m.

Quote
Everton have signed Fulham's England U18 international midfielder Dennis Adeniran on a four-year deal.
The 18-year-old heads to Goodison Park on a deal until the summer of 2021 after making five senior appearances for the Sky Bet Championship club.
Including add-ons, Adeniran could end up costing Everton a fee of £4m, Sky Sports News understands.
Adeniran scored on his professional debut in an EFL Cup match at Leyton Orient 12 months ago, and he played two more games in that competition as well as one league outing and a single appearance in the FA Cup.
He played for England at the European U17 Championships in 2016, when the Young Lions reached the quarter-finals.

Number 16 was Nathan Broadhead, @Everton Mint (http://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=3381) was backing him in the "U23 for Europa" thread, perhaps he'll be the next Davies that goes from not being good enough to loan out to getting his head down to make a surprise emergence from the U23's!

When Koeman left Saints, Martina didnt feature under the new manager all season lol, i think that says enough about him (Martina)
From what i've seen from Kenny, albeit under 23s and the england under 21 world cup winning team,. he is a replica of Coleman.
I dont get it, Holgate, Kenny, and then we buy Martina.. i know it was a freebie,. but still.. must have knocked Kenny back a bit.

As well as Koeman has done with the youth, he does seem a bit reluctant to give them a chance initially.
If it weren't for injuries then Tom Cleverley would still be around and Tom Davies out on loan.

If Niasse was an academy product, we'd all be crying out for him to be starting in the first team. He can't be any worse than what we've seen so far....can he?
I don't want him getting thrown in against Utd but I hope he's at least on the bench for the EFL cup tie. I think it's more likely Koeman will see that fixture as a chance to build the confidence of his preferred players though. It just seems he's earnt a shot at some senior game-time against somebody or other.

i would throw him in against united.. play DCL up top with NIASSETY, give Man U something different to think about, 2 strikers who want to stretch the pitch, then we can play 3-5-2 and pack out midfield/defense. least we will have 2 players with decent pace who want to get in behind.. i'd drop Rooney, Sig will have to runners/strikers to aim for..
worth a shot in my view.. i bet with that strikeforce we have more than the average of 1.75 shots on target a match.

Never going to happen though, is it? It would mean dropping Rooney and Klaassen, and only one of DCL or Sandro could start with Oumar.

Isn't he excluded from EL squad?
I nearly had that reaction then realised what SANA says makes sense, Sandro/Rooney/Klaassen behind DCL for the Europa, for Utd he'd play Niasse with one of Rooney/Sandro and have Sigurdsson behind them!
Never going to happen nor should it of course!

Call me mad but I'd have him on the bench instead of Mirallas.

close, for united id play dcl and niasse up top with Siggy behind them gana and Schneiderlin in midfield, 2 wing backs, 3 cbs.
hopefully that way, we may get some rest bite for our defense, with big niasste and dcl making runs in behind.. we could even play Martina,, as he gets crossed into the box!

Browning was dropped after being the main culprit of Sunderland losing last Tuesday, it was a bit like Keane to Schneiderlin, if the receiving player had been a bit more alert the misplaced place would have still been recovered but alas he played the opposition winger in, seconds later it's a goal conceded.

Also, Gone a bit quiet on the dowell front, anyone know how he is doing?
News from Sherwod forest is that although the Tricky Trees (yes - they call themselves that - seriously) are playing shite at the moment, young Kieran is still turning heads.
He's finding it hard at the moment because he's not getting enough game-time according to the Forest faithful - and when he does - the rest of the team are so crap that he struggles to have an impact.
Word on the street though is that he is still considered their best midfielder, by most fans and by some distance.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. I did look earlier, excluding added time he managed 62, 69, 27, 90, 62, 90, 90, 45, 63, 31 minutes which seems decent from our development perspective but it's high praise that the Forest faithful believe he should be getting more :)

My own impression of him was that he is going to play for Wales, but never be good enough for us. I reckon he will have a solid career but his peak level would be similar to Shane Duffy, which is not a bad thing, jsut not top third of the Premier League quality.

Unsworth seems to really like Baningime. He played a big role last season with Joe Williams out and Davies moving up to the first team. He's a bit small but he's quick and does a lot of good defensive work. Fulham supporters thought highly of Adeniran and were disappointed to see him go but I don't much about him since he's so new.
The Grand Old Team "Everton Youth Teams Thread" is where I get most of my info about these players, although I haven't been keeping up lately. A few of the posters on there go to the U23 games regularly and have a pretty good idea of how highly rated the players are. It's probably the only thread on that site worth reading.

I agree but he never looked likely to progress us ( finances a reason ) and we always seemed to run through beaten horses to finish 7th or 8th . Thats fine if thats what is acceptable given the lack of investment he faced . He did however prefer ( a bit like Ronald ) square pegging a seasoned pro rather than giving youngsters a chance unless injuries meant he had no choice . I would accept that had he had money he may have been able to develop youngsters over a longer period .

Even the under 18 right back looks better than Martina.
Very good attacking. Some nice interplay in the run up to his assist, some attacking intent and putting the ball into the box and before that - an amazing crossfield ball from right back to left wing that was close to perfect.
But he did stop tracking his runner for the goal though. He gave up on the run but if he'd stayed with his man he would have at least been in a position to challenge him and maybe stop the goal, giving us a win instead of a draw.
If that sounds harsh - I don't mean to be. It's only U18's, not the end of the world and I'm sure he'll learn from it. It is nice seeing the youngsters do well. Reckon the U23's would beat the senior side at the mo (even though it's half made up of U23's).

It seemed a strange approach to the game to me, they played not only two under 18's lads (who to be fair sound like they had a good game) but they also gave a few of the squad players a game. The echo seemed to think this is because they have a big game on Friday. Would getting them used to playing two games in a week not be good prep for playing for the first team? Jesus my under 15 team played four games in a week at the end of least season to get all their games in
Unsworth and his team have a pretty good record so far so I'll trust their judgement on how they best utilise the lads in the setup.

I think putting Sandro, in the Under 23's would do him the world of good. Get him playing 90 minutes so will get him fitter. Scoring goals and build his confidence. Also playing football with guys of the same age group may help him enjoy his football for a while and get a smile back on his face.

The good thing with Unsworth taking the reins for the first team is; he's got his finger on the pulse for the U23s and should be able to make a well-informed decision were Sandro is concerned. Koeman getting sacked could be a blessing in disguise were Sandro and Everton are concerned. Over to you Unsy mate. It's all yours. :)

We don't need them. We have more than enough youth in the first team setup at the minute, he just needs to concentrate on getting the first team squad back up to the levels required instead of throwing more kids into a tough situation.

Barnsley have apparently made a £1m offer to buy Joe Williams who is on loan there. Anyone know much about the lad?
He looks like a good Championship DM, with around 5 tackles/interceptions per 90. Doesn't contribute much in attack but 1 dribble and 1 key pass per 90 suggest that he can do a little something. Probably has a chance of being PL quality but I think his path to ever playing for Everton is pretty well blocked with all of the pure DMs we have, Baningime included. It probably makes sense for him to move on, especially at a club where he's already doing well.
I'd be bothered more by Liam Walsh leaving permanently (there were rumours that Bristol City wanted to sign him in December). A good passer who dictates tempo is exactly what we need in the middle. We'd be better off finding a loan destination where he'll actually play. Or giving him the odd game when Rooney is out if we reach safety early enough.

Seems to have quitened down a bit for Walsh. Didn’t blow the doors off it at Birmingham but not sure what shape they were in at that time...Redknapp was it?
Hasn’t been near the team when obviously a few others have even in the dead rubber, although he may have been on loan or injured? Not sure if he was recalled or injured.

Birmingham are a mess and wanted experienced players so no surprise that he didn't play.
And he couldn't play in the dead rubber. Loan recalls can only go through during transfer windows now. The new loan rules do allow on-loan players to play for the parent club's U23s, though, which is why he came back earlier.

I like Dowell but he doesn't stand a chance here.
correct that - this annoys me about Everton fans, how quickly we judge and turn against some players, deeming them shite after hardly any time
Sandro - 13 Games - 480 minutes - shite
Klaassen - 10 Games - 435 minutes - shite
Bolasie - 18 games - 1,300 minutes borderline shite
the list can go on, why cant we give any a fair crack let the settle and get used to the country and/or league. Tosun probably hasnt got long before he's deemed shite for all eternity

Getting in good space and one or two decent balls a few wild ones.
It’s hard to tell as the opposition was poor however I thinks it’s worth giving him ago... ironically West Brom would of been better than the games coming up

I don't doubt that.Pretty much as @kewns23 (https://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=530) says Sam really, personally he should be replacing Cuco, he took all the corners and never hit the first man, whipped some decent crosses in from open play that I'm sure Tosun or Walcott would latch on to, made runs and opened up space, ok I'm making him sound like a world beater, he isn't but he's better than what we have even if it was against shite opponents, he would give us far more balance and speed in attack down that side.

Oxford are a well run club with a decent budget for that level, by all accounts. Would’ve been a great opportunity. I’m sure how much more he can learn managing kids who are eager to impress him. He needs to manage a dressing room of senior professionals and all the dynamics that are involved.
Very disappointed.
Although I did see a rumour on oxford twitter that said ledson can’t stand him, and handed a transfer request in when he heard Unsworth was wanted, so maybe their board have flapped it at that.

Hopefully rightly so, especially as its coming up to the time of the decision whether he gets a pro-contract. Headlines like today wont do him any harm !

he got dropped after WBA, cos Sam thinks Rondon bossed him.
Holgate made some vital tackles and interceptions in that match, a lesser everton centre back would have been made to pay by Rondon.

Well Rondon is twice the size of him so not surprising a young defender had a tough time against an experienced grock of a striker. He did miss a couple of sitters like but it's no reason to send the lad to play with the kids.

And yes, I believe that Holgate has been the best of a sorry lot at CB, in addition to our youngest. That combo means he should be starting at least almost every week, getting used to playing his natural position at the Prem level.
Preferably not next to Ashley Williams.

well you would think that, seeing as Sam Allardyce is saying this season is over and build towards next season, if he actually wants to do that, the youngsters need to fucking play. not players who the fans dont want to see, or who wont be playing week in week out next season.

But that is the point. Why drop a kid who has been your best Cb so far. Why destroy what should be our futures confidence all because your training analytics show that Williams headed the ball further than Holgate from a corner. Bunch of crap

His whole approach seems very much geared towards making sure he gets his pay off in the summer by keeping us up. Zero risks and a £6m pension top up. Despite what he says his approach doesn't seem to be in accordance with him planning for the future, with his obsession with telling us we need to get to 40 points.

For two, I clicked on the match in my Sportsbook, and they were paying out 2.75 to 1 odds (when the score was 0-0 in 35th minute), which seemed absurdly favourable to me. So I put down a hundred on us, what the fuck.

Good to get Funes Mori back. Whether he’s good enough is subject to debate but he’s a £20m defender in this market.
I will give Allardyce a tip of my cap if he's actually being strategic and plans to play Holgate and Funes Mori together the last 6-8 weeks of the season.
Would bet heavily against that, though.

I don’t think it’s about form.
I think it’s the fall-out and subsequent odd radio silence from the MSM regarding the Firmino incedent.
Either the club don’t believe Holgate, or Holgate is pissed off at the club for not rallying behind him, or the club have bowed to pressure to ‘rest’ Holgate whilst it all dies down.
It can’t be because Rondon nearly scored a couple.

Yeah, dips happen at that age (any age I suppose). He’d get fucking mullered if he was playing for us and disappeared though. Too much burscough not enough, er, bootle?

Exactly as @Jimmywhack (http://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=329) says:
They didn't draw many and it was a bit 50/50 for a while but in their last 14 before their win this weekend it's W2 D4 L8. Their wins will keep them out of the relegation zone but it looks like their losses will keep them out of the top half of the table by the end of the season.

Some choice quotes:
Quote
“The sanitisation of Academy football – everything played on a lovely pitch, on the grass – (has changed), so that when they go to League Two on loan and don’t see the ball for 10 minutes and say, ‘What’s going on here?’ they are ready because that’s English football at the lower levels so we have to prepare them for that."
Quote
“But we’ve also got players upfront who have got to learn to win headers, who have got to learn to win flick-ons, like in the real world, so if we play out from the back all the time these centre-forwards aren’t getting that work."
It seems regressive to develop players so they'll be comfortable in League Two if they go on loan. And to think of flick-ons as the "real world." It's only a reality for crap teams in England. Nobody who's actually good plays that route one garbage.
I know he mentions playing out from the back and going direct but really, there's no point bothering with the latter. Our academy players are never going to reach the level we need them at if half of their development time is spent learning crap football.

Catch-22 though, isnt it. English football is fucked for developing highest quality youth players, and the national team will always suffer for it.
Barring the wunderkids who are physically/technically able to go straight into the first team at 18, most will never develop to a higher level if no one will take them on loan because they're no good at playing lower league style football. And they'll never develop just staying in an academy not playing real football.
The only hope you've really got is loaning them out abroad, but without an official link to another club then it'll be hard as theyve got their own players to develop as maybe players from better teams from that country already more suited to the style?
So other than 'B' teams in the lower divisions or parent clubs who take groups of kids en masse then its not going to work, and that won't happen because it'd mean losing more established teams from the league or small clubs losing their 'identities'(Which is an absolutely understandable issue for their fans to have).
Like I said, fucked.

If you watch the U-18's they play some excellent football. The skill, intensity and speed of the games is quite amazing.

If we are buying the finished article how come they need a season to acclimatise prove unsuited to the league ? At least you know most of your U23 side are suited to the league but unless you play them you won't know . Holgate , Davies and Kenny are well capable of covering and in time being first choice .

Holgate , Davies and Kenny are well capable of covering and in time being first choice .It has only been Davies that had cemented a place in the team. Others are just covering as you say and as soon as the injured player is fit they are out again.
The other issue, as ever, is experience. Young players can be good enough physically and technically but they dont have the games of an older player. This is what limits a lot of their chances. The fact that Everton have been struggling as a team anyway makes their involvement even less likely.
To be fair we do give more chances than most but the queue of players ahead of the kids is always going to be an issue.
The lad I know isnt so bothered about leaving Everton as he wants and needs games. His chances here would be very limited.

Did brilliantly when he came on, but when he gets a chance to finish the game he tries to finesse it into the side netting when really he should just make sure and bury it.
I don’t think he’s a bad finisher - I think he’s affected heavily by overthinking his decisions in game. Not instinctual, every finish looks training ground to me, rather than a hungry reflex.
Hopefully will improve with guidance but will be a real sign of lack of progress if our options up top next year are as weak as they have been this year.

This is why, despite uncertainty about how good they can actually be, I'd have had Holgate, Davies, and Calvert-Lewin playing as many minutes as possible in the second half of this season. Those three rarely look out of place when called into action against senior pros. I think you need to invest minutes in young players like that, especially when you're not competing for anything. That's a big part of how you find the Kanes, Allis, and Rashfords of the world.

They have to be able to hit the target from 6 yards out and not miss by about 10 with the goal at their mercy. He literally can’t score no matter how easy the chance.

I agree. Nothing to be gained by wasting minutes on finished players.
Do not agree with @Confucius (https://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=196) - he’s scored this year so that’s not literally true is it. It’s definitely a gap in his game but it’s nothing to write him off over just yet.

People seem desperate to write him off.
Even when he only just broke into the team people were saying he offers nothing.
He's improved massively over the last 12 months and I expect that to continue.
He missed a sitter, yes, but no need to be writing him off.

Especially considering this has been an ultra negative campaign in terms of performances, style and results.
Kane only made 10 league appearances by the time he was 21 and scored 3 goals with 0 assists.

I agree - he's done well this season at times, give the circumstances, and I thought he did ok when he came on yesterday, but it's a damning indictment of our player recruitment that he's had to play as many games as he has given his inexperience.

All good points. He just fails to even get close with most of his shooting. Even Cenk’s 1st goal of the brace he scored was because DCL missed an absolute sitter. You can’t teach a striker to score. It’s natural and instinctive. He just doesn’t have it. Will be very good at everything else besides his most important job.
I think that's the key though isn't it. He's not a striker really, he's more of a forward player who sometimes gets in and around the box and will bag a goal every now and then.
He's just not the player Kane is as when he was coming through he got dogs abuse from shooting miserably from anywhere and got shunted down the leagues to hopefully refine it, which he did. DCL has good technique, athletic physique, a willing runner but you won't find him in and around the area looking like he's desperate to get on the scoresheet. Maybe it'll come with time and experience.

What’s the point then? A forward player who plays like a defensive midfielder but can’t play midfielder.
He needs to add goals to his game. Otherwise he won’t make it as a premier league player.

He’s getting “minutes” like you say you wanted him to get but at a much higher standard than the one you believe he should be playing at while surrounded by better players and learning from better coaches.

He did play almost a full season in the Championship in 2015-16. If he was at Spurs/Arsenal/Liverpool, he'd been involved in the first team nearly every week. He'll have a great career. Whether that's here or somewhere else is another matter.

Not exactly on topic based on the previous few posts but I saw this a few weeks ago. It's not great, at least from my point-of view.
https://www.trainingground.guru/articles/everton-youth-teams-now-more-direct,-less-sanitised (https://www.trainingground.guru/articles/everton-youth-teams-now-more-direct,-less-sanitised)
Some choice quotes:
It seems regressive to develop players so they'll be comfortable in League Two if they go on loan. And to think of flick-ons as the "real world." It's only a reality for crap teams in England. Nobody who's actually good plays that route one garbage.
I know he mentions playing out from the back and going direct but really, there's no point bothering with the latter. Our academy players are never going to reach the level we need them at if half of their development time is spent learning crap football.
Fuck me that's grim reading. CB's - "They've got to head it, block it, kick it - then if they can play, great."
Well... as long as they can "kick it" FFS!
I don't agree with this at all. Coach good football and with it good decision-making. A good footballer will know when to do something basic and when he can and should play it. Someone who has only ever been told "When in doubt, kick it out" will be looking for row Z every time which is just giving the opposition the ball back.
If you have a player who is coached to be good in the air and direct a header, then they can find space with a flick-on as easily as they can find the net. They don't need to be coached flick-on's for flick-on's sake. If they've been coached good decision-making, when the time comes for one they will be fine.
This is so anti-football. To be putting this into kids so young is very, very disappointing and I'm not surprised so few U18's have been kept on. The question is - have we let them down by doing this? Have we missed out on a potentially decent player? Have we potentially fucked up someone's career?

Superb youth record and apparently a big talent. Looked good the other week. Let’s keep him!

I see Dortmund and Bayern are after young Anthony Gordon.

He wants Unsworth gone.

Not sure. I know green hates him. I’m sure Barkley had a falling out with him.
I heard that when Brewster was with us someone came in to loan him and Unsworth said no, because he wanted him for the U23 league push.
Brewster ended up leaving Everton without a deal.
Personally I think he seems like a lovely man and is Everton through and through. But I’ve no doubt his name is down in marcels book.

Didn’t Ledson talk the Oxford gang out of seriously considering him for the job?

Are there any genuine prospects in the U-23's now that look as if they're 12-18 months away from pushing on or did we clear them out recently when we took Davies, Lookman, DCL and Kenny? I won't include Dowell or Holgate in that as they're past U-23 level but not good enough for our first team and will both probably move on.Think Holgate still has a chance
The lad Gordon is meant to be decent, Williams is out on loan, meant to be rated highly, Honrby too and theres a lad in th 18s smashing them in

We've been waiting for Holgate to kick on for 18 months now and he still has the physique of a kid and hasn't improved his play. Needs to play every week somewhere to see if he does have it within him.

Sell Holgate for 10mil.
Never making it here.
Silva even said in his presser the other day when talking about the difficulties in choosing between Zouma/Mina/Keane ''and not forgetting the other two, Jags and Mason'', like he had pretty much forgotten them as viable first team options.
I agree. He's not making it here.

Think we’ve got a decent crop still with us who we will have to see about.
Anthony Gordon, Nathangelo Markelo, Dennis Adeniran, Lewis Gibson, This Kyle kid who played in the Sport Pesa, Con Ouzounidis, Manasse Mampala..
Obviously Williams is out on loan still but is the only loaned out academy product who maybe has a chance I think? Basing that off the reports Silva liked him rather than his performances.
Antonee Robinson too I suppose, injured til the new year now.
The keeper Virginia is apparently rated.
Shame Bowler hasn’t kicked on. Shades of Matty Kennedy there I suppose.

Everyone's forgetting Beni.
Was just going to say that I was hoping to see more of him. Could be the natural successor to Gueye - but there's a lot of development required in between here and there.
Post by: Shogun on November 28, 2018, 07:23:28 PM
Bournemouth can buy him as their Ake replacement.

Has Virginia ever been in our U23s?
Seems like we're building up for him to be our number 1 in the future.

Still on the OS, I was impressed by his appearances in the first team and his write-up seems to be exactly the right type of character a young pro should aspire to have:
"At the end of the 2016/17 campaign, he scooped the prestigious Keith Tamlin award, named after the Club’s Vice Life President, for his excellence, attitude and application during their time spent in the Academy."
On a side note - 'Vice-Life President sounds gangster AF lolol

Silva has said he’s in his plans and will be in the first team next season.
Interesting to see how this pans out.
Maybe part of the midfield revamp?

6)Williams

Gibson has been rated for ages.
I like the look of Adeniran when I’ve seen him.
It would be nice to produce an attacking player, Anthony Gordon will be good I think. But young wingers / attacking players tend to drop off sharply don’t they, end up down the leagues etc.
Hornby I’ve got in my head that he’s a big meat head but apparently used to play midfield so might be good on the sly.

My hope is that Brands has some ideas for how we can actually develop talented players when they don't hit the ground running or stumble somewhere else along the way (i.e almost every young player).

The cynic in me says there's only one path to future stardom for these players and it's setting the world on fire from day one like Rooney.
My hope is that Brands has some ideas for how we can actually develop talented players when they don't hit the ground running or stumble somewhere else along the way (i.e almost every young player).
Surely a good move is to let the 1s who aren’t quite good enough go quickly and cheaply with big sell on clauses and low buy backs. Let them settle elsewhere and get on with their careers with the insurance we can take our profit down the line if they make it
The situation with Pennington is very odd. He just signs contracts with little hope of doing anything here. We seem so desperate to preserve a players value that we are blind to the fact that sometimes they probably don’t have 1
