Zatara
Player Valuation: £100m
Get him 6 months out in the championship. He’s clearly very talented, looks very promising.
Needs to play regularly.
Walks into our 11 so why loan him?

It's about 4 years since anyone played a pass like that at Goodison.
By insanely average I am acknowledging how young he is and he shouldn't be setting the world alight. It's more of a question to if he is ready and I don't see that all with him but I don't mind seeing him getting a chance and if he can continue to have an impact like that he could win more looks and change my mind. It's up to himTo be fair, 'insanely average' would be a huge improvement for us. He did well this evening and Baines/Coleman did well too to substitute him when they did, he is still a boy playing a man's game.
Pele was winning world cups when he was 17.You don’t ‘need a loan’ when you’re 17. Training with the first team and getting a reasonable amount of senior game time - which he has - is absolutely fine. The obsession with just farming everyone out and assuming they’ll come back better is very weird.
Reminds me of Adam Wharton at Palace. Not just his play, but his calmness and almost emotionless demeanour. Ice man.
Him coming through also puts another nail in Doucoures’s contract renewal coffin.
Maybe, just maybe this is harder than you think otherwise every club would do it.We should be investing in players of a similar age so we have a 'wave' of young talent coming into the squad.
I keep repeating myself but the likes of Chris Rigg (Sunderland) and Tyler Dibling (Southampton) are around his age. Not necessarily them but if we could target these types and also see pathways for Braiden Graham, Roman Dixon and the likes then we could actually build something.
We need a better blend of youth and experience. For me Jake o Brien should have had far more game time, it’s criminal to have a young prospect not been phased in. Roman Dixon should have been given more minutes. We have just brought in Armstrong who was the most composed player on the park last night. To be honest Patterson, Armstrong and O Brien were far better attacking, than Branthwaite, Mykolenko and Ndiaye on the opposite side but I think Myko was the weak link there. I would have like to have had a look at lindstrom playing there.Maybe, just maybe this is harder than you think otherwise every club would do it.
Great run out last night - hardly been used by Luddite Dyche - & @Eggs no youth ehDoucs can only dream of a through ball like that v any team .....
