Everton Youth Teams Thread

Not sure if there's any I've missed so feel free to fill in the gaps but Tyrer*, Lukjanciks, Pickford, Welch*, Heath, Sherif, Graham, Armstrong, Gomez have travelled with the seniors in the pre season boot camp. So there's your frontrunners for the first team this year as it stands

*so old now they probably don't even warrant mentioning here.

Jenson Metcalfe too, far left of picture 8 in the gallery.
 

Interested to see what happens with Metcalfe. He’s 20 now and needs to make an impact, or at least look good enough to warrant a loan to the championship or something equivalent

I rate him, injuries have stalled his progress so here's hoping for an injury free 2 years as he's got pace and can go by defenders comfortably

I find him a frustrating player, power and pace but often lacking the ability to get his head up , see where his team mates are and deliver a crucial ball . Too many runs into blind alleys with no end output for me. Hopefully he’s over his injuries and gets a chance to prove I’m wrong.

Dixon on loan at Stockport County in league 1. Onyango goes there on a FT I think as he’s out of contract. Nice to see the loan move. League 1 suggests he’s some way off the first team.
Not surprised tbh. He looked decent v Spurs but reports suggest a tad inconsistent in the 21’s

Stockport are making a big push for promotion with new players and a strong base from last year. It’s a good move for Dixon , he’s likely to be involved in some key promotion battles and a chance to prove himself.

Totally agree with you there but youth pacey wingers in general all have that weakness to their games. I'm not expecting him to be a world beater by any means but if he can get to a Dobbin level then he'll be handy for us as cover or even to sell on for a decent fee

Looks like we're getting an announcement per day so each player gets a day in the limelight. We should have all the new scholars announced by Christmas at this rate

I don't mind them spreading it out too much. At the very least it gives us something positive every day which you can't usually say about Everton.

The thing I don't understand though is why we didn't announce Heath first? We all know he's signed his contract because he's away with the first team in Scotland. I'm not worried in any way, just baffled by Everton as per.

Same here but this is the same club that gave a new contract to Onyango at some point in the past 3 years and just never bothered to tell us, so it is on brand.
