Everton Youth Teams Thread

[edge]

i actually think hes a mile away from 1st team football anyway but at 16/17 plenty of time though he seems to think hes nearly there.

He looks fast and powerful for his age, but we have seen a lot like that over the years, when others catch up their advantages don't matter as much, and they no longer look the pick of the crop,
I wouldn't say he is anywhere near holding a place down in a prem team at the moment.

A 3 year deal seems odd if he’s 16, not 17 to October, I thought we couldn’t enter into 3 year/ pro deals until they were 17, hence all the fuss around Small. Maybe there’s a firm agreement for a pro contract at 17 , we‘ve done that with the likes of Kristensen and Garcia, initial deal then guaranteed pro deal.

This doesnt sound great:

Okoronkwo departs after an impressive season with the League One side’s U18s. In 17 appearances in the U18s Premier League, the attacking prodigy managed three goals and three assists.

The person on the secret account is responding to an Everton fan regarding Small being on the move (as well as another top rated 16yr old LB from Watford to City). He says dont listen to the papers regarding Small as they are being fed info from Everton.

Im guessing he means the reports about not turning up to training, or the links to Arsenal, Man U etc. He did say more to come.

He's not a striker I dont think and would have been a school boy last season so it actually is pretty good.
Sunderland were also the worst team in the league

Ahh i see, hes 6'3 so i assumed hes a centre forward.

Bit weird why Everton would feed the papers reports about a 16 year old kid not showing up to training...

Hes been linked to Real Madrid earlier as well...

Unfortunately the most obvious would be to prepare the fans for his departure. It may be done to try and tell him he's still wanted if he's cut off dialogue.

…one article I read suggested he‘s a midfielder.
