Everton Youth Teams Thread

Is Tom Davies not similar height to Walsh?

...Davies is quite a big lad. Perhaps too much is being made of Walsh's size. He's combative and a competitive sort who can handle himself. Lots of players will struggle against the likes of Yaya Toure but there are also plenty of smaller central midfielders in the top flight. Walsh has demonstrated he can play 'open age' football and certainly has a chance.
 
The Next Generation


The final day of the Premier League season illustrated what a special future Everton could have.
The Goodison Park faithful were afforded their first extended view of several exciting young players who could go onto be key players at the Club in the coming years.

It prompted Tim Howard to forget his emotional farewell for a moment and describe the Finch Farm academy as a ‘goldmine’ of talent.
So, this coming week on evertonfc.com, we will be profiling The Next Generation.

We’ve left no stone unturned to bring you everything you need to know - and probably some things you don’t - about five burgeoning Blue talents.
The players we’ll be profiling are: Jonjoe Kenny, Matthew Pennington, Kieran Dowell, Callum Connolly and Tom Davies.

Keep an eye on evertonfc.com and our social media channels for more throughout the week.

It would be a very good idea for Walsh and I would like to see this happen more. Maybe this can be part of the new DOF mandate?

Walsh is going to need to be a very particular manager to give him an opportunity. In the modern premier league, there are a lot of managers who would not trust a 5 ft 8 slight lad in central middle field. People like big physical players who can cover the ground.

Ironically Martinez would have been the perfect manager for him. It will be interesting to see how het gets on with the new manager.


I think De Boer is more likely to play players like Walsh. Doesnt seem fo have an issue wifh height of build and they seem to do well for him. Same with Cocu at PSV but that may be due to the dutch league not being as physical.

Yes I think thats a nail on the head. I made a big point about who the next manager is. De Boer or Cocu would both put them in and even Koeman has played Claissie in their for Southampton who is not a big lad but a talented young player.

However a Mourinho (though I accept he has gone) has built his teams around 2 strong tall defensive midfield players. I suspect if Emery came he would play him further forward in a roaming playmaker role like Banega.

Everton admit they must take care when sending players out on loan next season

Changes to loan system mean Everton must pick and choose who they send out


Everton admit they must take more care when sending players out on loan next season.

Changes to the market come into force this summer with loans only permitted during the designated transfer windows.

Youth loans and emergency loans - which allow clubs to recall players at short notice - are to be scrapped.

If Everton send a player out for work experience in the Football League next term then he cannot return until the opening of the next window.

The Blues sent over 10 of their Academy players out into the Football League and National League at various points this term but will have to pick and choose who they allow to leave.

It may well result in the under-21s having their strongest squad for many years as many of those players on the fringe of the first-team are kept at the club in case they are needed.

“Not every player needs to go out, and it’s quite clear that Tom Davies and Kieran Dowell haven’t gone out,” David Unsworth said.

“But what it does allow is for the lad to get some brilliant exposure and it also allows us to bring in someone younger into the u-21s.

“So it is more than just getting one player out because it gives another one an opportunity.

“Jonjoe Kenny going out to Oxford has allowed Gethin Jones to play most weeks but it is also a real though process.

“Where’s he going to play? Is he going to play every week?

“But the loan market changes next season so we need to be really careful who we send out on loan.

“There may also be more 21s games, exposure to bigger and better games with the International Cup and the possibility of us being able to enter a team in the Football League Trophy.”

Everton’s second string return for pre-season training at the end of June.

Their place in the SuperCupNI - formerly the Milk Cup - was confirmed earlier this month where they will face Benfica, Celtic and Real Sociedad.

Unsworth has also revealed plans to tee up pre-season friendlies with Football League clubs this summer.

....thanks for that, very interesting.
 

Would be very positive about the future of our youth if we did get Emery in. That's a manager who's brought through/developed players like Silva, Mata, Banega, Rakitic, Alba, Bernat, Sergio Rico...

Particularly, if I were Davies or Dowell, I'd be pretty keen on working with a manager who did work like that with Silva, Mata, Banega and Rakitic.
 
Interesting that the talk of Connor Grant has completely gone, he was having a cracking season earlier on until he got injured...Any chance he's one of the ones Rhino was talking about? Otherwise do we think his chance at Everton is gone?

So he has a good record in general with academy players?

Looked at the current Sevilla team and only saw 2 that were what I'd classify as young (Rico was one of them) is and he didn't bring out the best in either Deulofeu or Dennis Suarez last season but don't know his previous history.

Alba and rico are the main two. Dont know of any others.

its looking like it, probably do the same as lundstram and drop down a few levels but hopefully he can work his way back up.
