Everton Youth Teams Thread

[EFC_FRANCIS]

We have experienced something similar but with the likes of Emiliano Lawrence & Ishe Samuels Smith in recent years.

The two of them would of probably made there first team debut's by now if they stayed with ourselves, even if it was just an appearance or 2
(In Samuels Smith's case, probably only a Mykolenko injury away from a real chance of playing week in week out.)

They will probably get some excellent loan moves at some point due to the contacts the likes of City & Chelsea have, but sometimes that isn't best for a young player and they get caught up in the system.

I think over the next 5 years we will see a lot more movement of players from 14-18 across al sorts of PL sides.

In Ishes defence, the club sold him rather than him choosing to leave.

He ran his contract down and Chelsea paid £4mil rather than it going to tribunal.

I don't think this is true. Chelsea just bought him for £4m. We were absolutely desperate for cash that summer.

I'm pretty sure its true as I remember thinking we had no backup left back and as he was so highly rated...maybe he could get into the 1st team squad because of it.

That was a reason for him to sign the contract with him doing the above and getting called up into a couple of matchday squads.


I just did a google and found this:

Although there had been some speculation mounting over the last week around the future of 17 year old Ishe Samuels-Smith, it still came as a bit of a surprise to learn that he has seemingly declined a first professional contract with Everton and reportedly decided his immediate future will be at Chelsea.

Suppose it depends who you believe but here's bobble suggesting that we were offering Ishe (and others) around to raise quick funds:

Flat out not true

Flat out not true

Indeed. Early on we know there was much speculation about Lawrence and ISS signing 2year Scholar forms, Lawrence returned to City, , ISS signed for us despite Chelsea wanting him back then. There was nothing to suggest that he wasn’t going to sign a pro deal if it was offered him in the way that Small did.

Unsure if the link will work but tickled me this one.

Looks like that he's dying to nut the interviewer. !

I think he refused to sign a contract though, that is my memory.

Can you link something saying he extended?

Yes mine too.

It's like the interviewer is slowly edging away, and he's having to slowly follow him!
