'KINELL PENNO LAD PASS DER BALL WILL YER!!!
Erwin Koeman was at last nights game and his view will carry a lot of weight with RK? Unsy is excellent in the way he handles the U23s particularly the public praise he boosts them with, the Koeman's will have a harder edge to their views.

'PENFOLD STOP HOOFING IT YEAH'
Pennington got rave reviews at Coventry (where he won young player of the year) and Walsall (where he was regarded as a class above). Clearly good enough for a career in football. Difficult stage of being too good for U23 football and a player of real potential but not yet trusted for first team in top 4 chasing team. Might have to take the Forshaw/Duffy route back to the Prem. Just hope we retain first option.
Plus, not that it really has any impact on football directly, but he is a very articulate and level-headed man. I like the fact the likes of him and Michael Donohue have been able to do so well academically whilst coming through our youth system. The days of good players being told an education isn't important is thankfully gone, as so few of them will make a living out the game.

I had a pic taken with him at the Leicester FA cup game. I'm just over 6ft 1in and he's the same height as me in the pic.
I would expect Koeman to give him a try before the end of the year, particularly once West Brom lose hold of our coat tails.

Is he as good as Shane Duffy?

A tad off-topic.
Let's keep this about Pennington eh, Duffy has moved on and some.
This isn't the first time Unsowrth has singled him out for praise either. He did well with his loan spells and didn't look out of place in our first team, I'd be surprised if he didn't at least make the bewcnh before the end of the season, especially as he seems to have regained his fitness. One I would say is that Koeman doesn't seem the type to play a young player until he is ready for an extended run in the first team squad. If Pennington does make the squad then I'd expect that would spell the end of the under 23s for him.

Bit unfair that mate. The thread is about Pennington and so is the post. Obviously the lad hasnt seen much of him and his trying to get s handle on his ability/style. Nowt wrong with that.

Shane's been gone a bit too long mate imo.
Teasing Mikey innit? We know he loved Duffy

Still think its harsh mate. The post is about Penno not Shane imo. He's just an example given. Not off topic at all.
And in answer to his question I would say he's probably on a par with Duffy at the same age. Similar in style in that he's a no nonsense defender but is a bit more comfortable on the ball. Leads the back line well.
I like him but not sure if he is the quality we need at Everton but wouldnt be at all surprised if he haf a career in the premier.
Seems to have his fitness back after long injury and hope he gets chance with first XI before end of season.
