Got to be honest, I thought this was going to be some form of Kenwright bashing with a word that the kids of today use that I have never heard of.

It isn't a transfer window until we sign a young keeper..

He signed on loan for Bolton Wanderers in August 2020.[8] His debut came on 5 September in Bolton's first match of the season, a 1–2 home defeat against Bradford in the first round of the EFL Cup.[9] On 28 September Crellin was defended by Bolton head coach Ian Evatt after being criticised for perceived errors in games.[10] A month later however, Evatt criticised Crellin, stating that he needed to "man up" and that Bolton could not afford for their goalkeeper to keep making so many mistakes, after Crellin was at fault for two of Barrow's goals in a 3–3 draw and four days later scored an own goal in a 1–1 draw against Cambridge United.[11] In the next match Crellin saved a penalty to help Bolton beat Bradford City 1–0[12] and was voted Man of the Match by the Bolton fans.[13] Evatt praised Crellin for responding to the criticism by putting on the Man of the Match display.[14] Crellin continued to make mistakes however[15] and on 13 November he was dropped to the bench for Bolton's derby match against Salford City.


Erm, Welcome to Everton lad.

Do not see the point at all. His Wikipedia says we chased him 2019 to no avail. Seems someone in the recruitment staff has an affection for him regardless of him not really kicking on since. Tyrer 2 years his junior and just signed a new contract. What exactly are we gaining here bar a 21 year old not good enough for the 19th best side in L1

Hopefully we punt lonegran into the Mersey.

Very strange, he has shown nothing at all to be given a chance at a prem club, very strange.

 

[oglop44]

He's probably just filling a place in the squad so we can loan out Tyrer. Doesn't say much for the quality of Leban and the other u18 keepers though

 

[Bilko]

Ah a third keeper on the subs bench ploy !!!.

LOL

Give the lad a chance, he is still young for a keeper and perhaps he just needs time to mature/ develop. It’ll be interesting to see where he goes I.e. straight into the reserves or out on loan next season.

 

[Pabbers]

LOL

He was out at chorley and fc united and looked just as bad….thats semi-pro level !!!

 

[sladen90]

He's an Everton fan so may be on this forum.

Didn't we have some chief scout type guy vome in a year or so ago from Fleetwood?

 

[Eggs]

…..boyhood Evertonian apparently. Only clip I could find, looks a good shape for a keeper;
