While I agree Ancelotti has a bad record for playing youngsters, loads of clubs put two keepers on the bench last season.

No doubt we wanted to keep him, not sure youth contracts are anywhere as enforceable as adult ones so the ‘mutually’ bit is prob only a bit of diplomacy….

Carlo glad to see the back of him IMO... a has been who paid out long wage contracts .....
Couldn't care less about Small going. He was behind two players in the pecking order, and has decided Southampton, of all teams, is where his future lies, indicating he's in all likelihood one of the dumbest footballers on planet Earth.
Very good chance they go down this season, and I hope they do. I expect Small to be discussed as a pub quiz question and nothing else 10 years from now.

If he gets game time he may move up to a better club - all ifs & buts - see us buying him back, happened before

Pretty sure The Athletic said it wasn't mutual... and I'll take them over Football Insider and Danny Mills tbh

but he's going to be second choice, which he isn't here.
It's a shame for us and I'd liked him to be committed but maybe he just didn't enjoy it here.

Stinks to me of an agent desperate to line his pockets - the academy at Everton is a shambles at present but I can't see him playing much in the PL even at a club like Southampton for the foreseeable.
Should have been demanding loan moves to the championship/league one and if he's as good as he thinks he'll be in 3-4 years he'll be replacing Digne as Evertons first choice LB.
aye, still very good though.
he's suffered from playing left wing in Simeone's 4-4-2 for too long.
Hasn't got the passing range of Koke or the madness of Llorente to make up for it. He's a box to box midfielder.

I totally understand it from his perspective, Digne doesn't seem to be going anywhere, Nkounou seems to be ahead of him, before he knows it he's 22 stuck with Unsworth and he looks for a club without leverage. Soton will be much easier to break into. He will probably have a great career.
Don't think Small's choice was all that odd. He can see they've lashed a young RB straight into the team and I imagine he's had assurances of at least a shared first XI role with their other new LB this season.
Catch the eye like Livramento has already done and get a move up the PL in a season or two. From his POV it beats waiting around to see whether this manager fares any better than Carlo in blooding young talent.

Already on loan at Stoke but nice try.
True
FWIW i think ( if its Correa ) or someone similar he would be a replacement for Siggurdson as in behind the striker and not directly a winger type.
But right back got to get sorted soon ,
So we need 3 ins for me , but the problem is getting others out to free up some cash.....its painful.
