Everton Youth Teams Thread

Any chance of an update on the following players guys?

Feeney -- Opinions on whether he can be 4th choice CB next season?
Adeniran -- Which player is he similar to? Does he look a good buy with potential to make the 1st team squad?
Bowler -- I expected to hear people raving about him on here due to his position/price...hows he been doing?
Gibson -- How does he compare to other defenders who've come through, best as LB or CB ?
Markelo + u23 foreign signings -- been dead quiet about anyone...still adjusting or no impact?

....others are more qualified than me, Zat, but here’s my view:

Feeney - the fact that he’s come into a successful U23 set up and given the arm band says a lot about how much he’s rated. He’s on the way up whilst others ahead of him are in the twilight of their careers so depending on who comes in you have to think he’ll be in and around the first team next season. I know Matty Foulds is also rated.

Adeniran - he’s a fine athlete, proper box to box midfielder. Scored some great goals but I think he’s more a defender than attacker. I don’t think he’s particularly gone on since he joined us. I notice a couple of times he’s been brought off early in games (on one occasion he appeared to be sulking but somebody said he was injured). He’s got all the ammunition, I think it’s a matter of watch this space.

Have seen bits of Gibson. He’s younger than the others but he looks physically powerful. I wonder if this is why he can play CB at youth level but will prove to be a LB as he gets older. I’d like to see more of him given he’ll be 18 next year and LB is a real problem for us. We are desperate for a LB, be great if we’ve already got one who is good enough.
 
Markelo - Hasn't impressed me at all so far. Benefit of the doubt as still settling in/adjusting.

Gibson - Highly promising, powerful.

Bowler - Quiet start, shown signs of settling, flashes of promise

Feeney and Adeniran - Agree with the assessment above.

Where's Liam Walsh today? Surely not injured again? If so, he's had absolutely zero luck since the day he broke his toe and missed out on the u20 World Cup.
