The year we sold Robinson, we had Baines and Digne in the squad. Sometimes, quality of the player doesn't even matter, it's just timing.

….because he’s the only one he can think of that we let go and had a successful top flight career :lol:

Joey, you are absolutely obsessed with Antonee Robinson. He left like 6 years ago. Please let it go.

The number of player we release who then go onto being regular Premiership players is remarkably few. They are released by Everton usually aged between 18 and 22 after being in a high quality academy for a number of years. Their whole careers...

….you keep on saying this, but I absolutely guarantee the great Colin Harvey would’ve broken through in any era, it’s a bit like saying Rooney would be held back. Make no mistake, I was very much connected to Bellefield back when Moyes and...

Wouldn't hate it but whether they go down that route is another thing. Henderson also spent time in conference North. Yep it's not necessarily a bad thing. The habits they pick up from family are almost as valuable as the training. Then you've...

Not a single one of the wide forwards on our books last season aged between 18 & 21 in Jack Harrison's position will play at the same level Jack Harrison has

Posters should try to remember this when posting about the younger players in particular.

…yep, I’ve always thought it likely that players have a look at these sites, especially the young lads who have been brought up on social media. Harvey certainly looks like his Dad;

Nice to get relatives on here. I remember we used to get Charlie Whitaker's uncle posting occasionally. A Sheffield Wednesday fan if I recall correctly. Also Bernie the Bolt's son pops up from time to time.
