Everton Youth Teams Thread

They have some kind of test where they can say roughly how big the kids will grow.

My colleague is under 5 foot. Her son is at a PL academy. She won’t attend his academy training or matches because she’s afraid they’ll kick her son out as soon as they see her. The dad is 6’3 so has to take him. There’s huge amounts of chat from the clubs about height. Everton are far less strict about it than LFC currently are - the latter are obsessed.

Cole & Dylan Williams at Airdrie

Everton and Crystal Palace are among a host of clubs tracking Airdrie’s teenage sensations Cole and Dylan Williams, sources have told Football Insider.

The Williams twins have been earning rave reviews for Airdrie’s academy side and the 16-year-old pair have been named on the bench for the first-team in the Scottish Championship this season.

Scouts from clubs in England and Scotland have been alerted to the potential of both players and are readying moves for the duo.

Airdrie are desperate to keep hold of the brothers and are keen to tie them down to professional contracts in a bid to avoid losing them on the cheap.

Seen them linked with some big clubs on bbc rumours page today. Might be another case of the Kyle twins

That was an impressive failure by even our standards.

Go for Naughton instead of Walker and lose both.

I'm looking forward to opening this thread and seeing Graham & Clarke being spoken about for the u21s.

It seems like both are too good for the u18s.

…they have both already shown application in open-age football, that’s the big test.

good puff piece, a lot of it seems at odds with having a boring, dinosaur, conservative first team manager.

Not over 30 years old, they have no chance at our club ....

….to be fair to Dyche, he has given debut’s to a number of youngsters. I think he’s desperate for one or two to come through given the lack of quality at his disposal.
