News of Ex Players

Playing away from your friends and peers abroad probably restricts some of the bad behaviours young lads can be drawn to here in the uk. Reckon the language barrier is an obstacle that forces some dedication and growing up to keep making your way.

Plenty of young lads went over from Ireland with big ambitions over the years but for various reasons turned to drink to fill in the time they had away from the game.

….i often think the penny finally drops, they grow up and really enjoy what they’re doing. It was fine bit of scouting to identify Lookman but we probably had him at the wrong time.

He was one of 4 Everton players in that U20 World Cup winning England team, I was only thinking of it yesterday watching Walker-Peter’s play well for Soton.

Another victim of the hiring and firing of managers during his time here, most who came in only had an eye on the short term, not a great environment for a young player to develop.

tbf I think Silva tried his best with Lookman but felt he had an issue of not wanting to know about tactics and what was going to get asked of him.

There was a story a few years back that Silva was tearing his hair out over his lack of application.

Always felt in particular never fancied him. To be honest mate I never really believed any of the negative reports about the lad. He always went out and wanted to play.

Always felt he was a huge talent and one we let get away.

Walks into our team now.

I'm not too sure mate, young kid who only now seems to have found a settled home after stints with Charlton, Everton, Fulham, Leipzig & Leicester.

Either way, good to see him doing well.
