Everton Youth Teams Thread

Michael Donohue got on. Only 15 I think.

Really think this kid has a chance of making it, he seems to be being fast tracked through the ranks. Plays as a winger/attacker.
Only saw a few minutes of him for under 18's in the FA Youth cup. Came on and looked dangerous, very quick, laid on good chance for George Green. Didn't realise he was only 15.
 


Callum Connolly and Kieran Dowell are both in the England U17 squad for the Algarve tournament in the summer.

Jon Joe-Kenny and Ryan Ledson might well be moving up to the U19 squad as neither have been named in this squad and captained the last 2 England games (one game each as captain)
 
They use different tournaments to get an idea of the vast amount of 15, 16 and 17 year old players out there.

The Algarve tournament in particular is used to get a feel of the U16's who will be getting scholarships this summer; Dowell and Connolly. Basically a "show us what you've got" tournament.

Kenny and Ledson in all likelihood won't play for the U17s again.
 
In the bits and pieces of live coverage and highlights of the youth teams ive watched Ryan Ledson always seems to stand out. Consistent, smart and with that little bit extra about him.

He doesn't seem to get a mention too often when talked about who might make the first team squad.

Then again it seemed everybody was surprised when Browning was mentioned as closest to being promoted.

Its a tough business predicting who will make it. Its definitely an exciting time now knowing theyll get every chance.

He always gets a mention from me, the raps on the kid are huge. but he's only 16 and theres plenty of time for thing to go wrong. I would have earmarked him, kenny and donahue as first team players. Im still not convinced that green will make it
 

Lundstram and Duffy on Sky Sports 1 now, Yeovil v Leeds. Horrible conditions, but Duffy has looked in control. Hard for Lundstram
