It was a story out of nothing
Well that is disappointing- thanks
I'm not sure if GOT gives 18 year olds their own Transfer Fred so this seems most appropriate in here
" Everton have completed the signing of Netherlands Under-18 international Nathangelo Markelo from Dutch second division side FC Volendam. "
Sorry , can't do links at the moment. It seems we've tracked him for a while , he'll go into the U23s as too old for u18s. Hes a right centre back , right back , right wing back type, though that would seem to be an area we have well covered with Morgan Feeney , Holgate, Pennington , Browning etc and Kenny, Connolly at RB, plus others. The likes of Kenny , Holgate Pennington are now arguably ready for regular first team squad exposure or loan. So an interesting transfer, presumably based more on talent he's shown than our need to fill a gap. Would like to see at least one more attacking option like George Hirst coming in soon.
Change of topic, anybody know if Antonee Robinson has signed a further contract , last I saw he'd been offered one but not clear if he's since signed it?

Quotes in the Echo from his advisor saying he wonder if we'll try him as a 6.

Interesting that he quotes our coaches asaying he has midfield potential, and his adviser suggesting he's maybe too small for a CB, maybe they are looking for a Barry type of player to complement Walsh, Beni andWilliams next season. A good scouting find though if he turns out good.
Nice to see Danny Bramall getting a contract, I posted last month that I thought he could be one of three what I called "Tier2" u18s who could get contracts, Kiersey and Lavery also got contracts. Bramall to me is in the same category as Donohue and the now departed Nathan Holland - good skills, tricky players but difficult to see them forcing their way past our other talented youngsters to get U23s game time.
Hate to seeyoungsters being let go but it's hard to think of any more from the u18s who will get contracts after the six we know of ( Above 3 plus Feeney , Beni, Evans already have contracts.) Harrington looked like he had potential but doesn't seem to have kicked on.
Well that's a little disappointing, thought we had him for a while back there. City even have a more suave contract guy than us
Or he was using our interest to force City into offering a contract he wanted?

We should be. It's all the CL qualified teams plus domestic champions.
Nah it is U18 champions not U23
