Interesting to see which of the young players are given a game and even more so if any of them does well enough to impress the manager.

If only it were that simple. Agreeing a transfer fee with the selling club is probably the easy bit of the transfer... not that there is anything easy about it. Agree fee does this include performance related add ons, is there a sell on clause or indeed a buy back clause ? How are the payments...

The number of player we release who then go onto being regular Premiership players is remarkably few. They are released by Everton usually aged between 18 and 22 after being in a high quality academy for a number of years. Their whole careers are ahead of them and generally are of interest to...

Posters should try to remember this when posting about the younger players in particular.

Getting a bit twitchy??? I would say a number on here have been hysterical for weeks,months, years.

People make the argument about young players not getting a chance from managers as if the manager had a vendetta against them. Young players are not picked because they are not good enough yet ..most never will be The best young players will get a chance as we saw with Rooney, DCL, Gordon...

How do we know we are looking at any player, Kubo or anyone else. Anyone can throw a name into the mix with an educated guess.

H At this point we must be talking to clubs about players, we are a month out from the start of the season and simply have to be talking about several players, options 1, 2 and maybe 3 for each position we need to fill. I am not questioning your bona fides as I don't know you and I have no...

That is very charitable of you but I doubt if it is correct. Certainly the club was a basket case but the one thing that kept us in the Premiership was our defence. Even though we couldn't score, we didn't concede either and we had a forty year old playing ahead of NP. Davek is wrong about...

I think this is very much under appreciated. We know that Beto was very much a bench player under SD. Even when DM came in January Beto was still behind Calvert Lewin and was on the point of leaving the club. It was the injury to DCL that stopped the transfer and gave Beto his opportunity...

If it were that easy every club would do it.

I am certainly not as impressed by him as some on here would appear to be. I don't think he would be cheap and will probably have a sell on clause. I don't think City would include a buy back clause as well

I don't think he was overrated at Everton. I think he did very well, worked hard, caused no obvious problems although playing for a team that was fighting relegation or close enough. Would he improve us, of course he would. The question is if he could stay fit and the cost of the deal. The...
