Goats squad analysis thread 2020/21

[hktoffee]

Your move slick.

And Ouzounidis. Will be 21 soon and at this moment like Bowler, Boardhead and Markelo etc...not part of the first team？

 

[Goat]

are Gordon, Gibson, Branthwaite, Bowler, Broad head not homegrown? Also these Everton kids really need to get some more distinguishable names beginning with some different letters.

Gordon, Branthy defo not due to their age, in the future yes, but under 21s don't count.

I doubt the other 2 stick around, but both appear to be HG, I will confirm if they stay.

Mr Popular's back again I see

I can't believe somebody would care so much about such a thing.

Well done, now you've ruined it.

I wonder if there's something odd in it tbh. have always been suspicious since he said he "relied on the site for his income".

Anyways, thanks for your squad analysis as usual. It's a very bad squad.

Provided we can shift 5 or 6 of the 1s we have, yes I agree regarding 2 CMs.

We need a left back too, to replace Baines as I'm not aware he has signed a new contract.

Does HG mean home grown? If so, why sigurddson and Iwobi ?

What is a Home-Grown Player?
A "Home-Grown Player" means a player who, irrespective of nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons, or 36 months, before his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).

Iceland was at Reading from the age 16 and Iwobi at Arsenal from the age of 8.

By the same token Bolaise spent a year in Malta around the age of 19 so is not classed as HG despite playing in England for the majority of his career.

We did sign that 19 year old, but yeah, it might be an issue.

Hmmm, I suppose I should add him to the squad.

 

[Tipp blue]

Tom Davies will be home grown next season as he'll no longer be in the U21 category.

And hopefully he'll no longer be in the Everton player category.

Definitely, we never ever buy a player before the window actually opens, so now we have, you better stick them in there.

Are we the only club that has so many players who stay with us into their early 20s without ever being close to the first team? Like does any other club take so long to make decisions?

I tend not to delve into other teams much.

Me neither, it was a question to the forum, our u23s are quite old when we look at them, they're a lot at that age of "if they haven't been close now they'll never make it here"
