He

This is why they dont show too much footage imo....fans go over the top eather way with children!!!!

Yep, we just don't release any details of kids this age usually, and if his Date of birth really is 5th September 2001 then I believe he's too young to become a Scholar in July so it could be about 18 months until we see him for the u18s. Although if he's any good he could be featuring before that.

Relax buddy. I couldn't care less about it. Just wondered if it was a joke story. Maybe go have a lie down, you're getting quite Davekesque.

Wahey, my nickname is pedro, have it tattooed on my arm, if he plays for us that's better than any name on the shirt!

You may have a point there, (although he is 16 not 13 by the way and we have had 16 year olds in our first team). His people have put that footage out there presumably to market his ability. Everton wouldn't want to market their players' ability so wouldn't allow it anyway but I think your point is a valid one (although you have a confrontational way of putting it).

Click through to the Brazilian article, has photos of him at Everton.

Seems we signed him from Charlton.

Video of him looking like a ball hog

How does he even have a 6 min YouTube video already? Ha

Any news on Joe Williams? I thought he would have been back from injury in January

Was wondering the same thing.

Looks a player go me. Get him in the under 18s and see how he does.

In the last under 18 game we had a 15yrs old and a number of 16yr olds playing.
Deny is his first name Alex? Played in the Dallas cup winning team, about this time last year at 15

Yeah Alex Denny is now a 1st year Scholar and was called up into the England U17s this season . Indeed there have been about 3 or 4 15/16 year old " non scholars" this year, the most prominent has been Michael Collins playing as a defender who's played half a dozen times or so and Adeydoin who scored recently.

 

[mightymoyes]

might see this brazilian kid at the dallas cup, you'd think if hes fairly highly rated he'd be in the squad at 15.

 

[ganistuk]

Hope young Pedro has a work permit ok

 

[Philw]

ffs that's a bloody pain in the arse that. Could have sworn a couple of weeks back they said it was at Goodison

Game in 2 weeks on the monday 20th feb for the u23s v southampton is at Goodison to add to above,every other home game is due to be at southport

7pm for those that live nearby

Why are the home games in Southport? Do they really expect many people to go all that way for the youth teams? There must be somewhere closer that they can play at?

Two things strike me about Pedro Neves, having spent 6 minutes watching his YouTube video:
1. His shooting needs (or needed) a lot of improvement; and
2. I've played on 3 of the pitches he has in South West London/Surrey (him at U15 me in a veterans league)

Where were those? I haved played in that area for years, and am currently playing for a Vets team

And as if on cue Alex Denny is out in Portugal with the England u17s for a short tournament of 3 games , Fri , Sun, Tues against Portugal, Holland and Germany. Good experience for him, and by all accounts a very good u17s squad.

Is there any official proof this Brazilian kid is even at Everton?

In terms of squad lists no, won't be until he is a scholar.

However he does have Brazilian media reports with him at Finch Farm and various social media postings that say he is. Would be an elaborate lie!

Then again we had some Kenyan midfielder called Vieria who appears in lots of media reports but I've never seen any evidence of actually existing.

An example of the Kenyan midfielder stories would be:

"
Former Kenyan Premier League (KPL) midfielder Jacob Omutanyi is expected back in the game and hopes to recover the form that saw him feature at English Premier side Everton FC, states his former club Ligi Ndogo.

The player has been sidelined for more than six months after he tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) during first team training.

Trials

The midfielder, nicknamed Vieira, has undergone a torrid patch in the last two years.

The former Muhoroni Youth midfielder survived a scare when unknown assailants attacked him at his Umoja home and suffered deep lacerations from electrocution.

Initial reports placed it as rival fans who were not pleased at his team choice. The matter got complicated when police placed him at the centre of a drug heist gone bad.

The gifted midfielder joined the Toffees in November of 2015 after playing for both provincial side,Tena United and Kenyan Premier League’s Muhoroni Youth before he joined Ngong’ road based Ligi Ndogo in 2014.

Martinez impressed

After impressing in a series of matches for Ligi Ndogo, he was part of the group invited to travel to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for a series of exhibition matches.

He could not return home as his drug case resurfaced in a dramatic twist and became the victim of further threats and in his time at the Merseyside, he caught the eye of former Toffees coach Roberto Martinez at a community coaching session at Finch farm, Everton.

He also had trials with other English Premier League sides but finally settled at Merseyside and had been training with the club's main team before his injury.
