I'd sell him because he isn't good enough for the level we want to be competing at.

I'd rather have an under 21 team player gaining the experience of being in the squad.

Only there is no one good enough from the youth. Hornby didnt impress me in pre season. And i watched Simms for the U19 this weekend in Eindhoven. doesnt look ready for the 1st team yet. fiurst needs to prove himself for the U23 maybe a loan next year.
 
Article sating that Fraser Hornby is about to join Belgian Jupiler League club KV Kortrijk.

Edit: Initial loan with option to buy it seems.

...it’s good that decisions are being made on these youngsters.

Yeah and lets be honest, very few will be able to make it here. Gives them a chance to make a career in football. Have to say as far as it goes for Bassala Sambou, he definitely impressed in the 50 minutes he got thus far. Not match fit yet, but could very well see him become a firm crowd favourite over here.
 

One imagines this had already been posted, but a piece in the times bigging up our player support system for new signings. Though this probably pretty standard now this is good PR for the club nonetheless.

Marco Silva will sit down, one by one, with his new signings this week and present another tailor-made analysis session designed to speed up the integration of Everton’s latest recruits.

Yet the bespoke services the club provides the likes of Moise Kean and Jean-Philippe Gbamin, two £25 million summer arrivals, aimed at ensuring their immediate assimilation extends way beyond the positions they should take up on the pitch.

There are English lessons to organise, chauffeurs to book, house viewings to arrange, restaurants and hotels to recommend and everyday practicalities, such as setting up national insurance numbers and bank accounts, to cover.

After the deals between clubs have been agreed, private jets have delivered precious cargo and multi-million pound contracts have been signed, the bedding in of players, and importantly, their families, runs in conjunction with the football side.

Such work has become a staple at Premier League clubs and Everton boasts a full-time, first-team player care manager in Charlotte Renshaw, who supports their individual needs and requirements.

All new players receive an induction pack which tells them all about the history of the club, the work the club does in the community, background information on all the squad and details on the local area such as recommendations for places to live depending on their individual requirements.

There are three levels to the support Everton offer.

Category one details players who have never lived in the United Kingdom before, such as Kean who arrived from Juventus, Gbamin from Mainz and Djibril Sidibé on loan from Monaco, and who therefore require support with virtually everything.

While player agencies also offer help to their clients, Everton will source cars, help find GPs and dentists and provide information on any cultural requirements, for example the whereabouts of the local mosque.

For signings such as Alex Iwobi and Jonas Lossl, brought in from Arsenal and Huddersfield Town respectively, where the focus is more on relocation packages and ensuring family members are settled.

Fabian Delph, signed from Manchester City, falls into category three, given he already lived in the northwest and has spent his entire career in English football. Everton would help with any specific requirements he has, but assisting the midfielder is relatively straightforward.

“Ultimately, they all require different levels of support, but the idea is the club takes away as much of the stress of moving to a new club — and in some cases a new country — as possible so the player is free to concentrate on their football,” said Renshaw, who has worked for Everton since 2012.

There is an onus on the existing players to assist the settling in process. New captain Séamus Coleman formally welcomed all the new players, taking them on a tour of the training ground and introducing them to each squad member. The initiation ritual of singing for the rest of the group has already taken place.

“Our squad morale is very good,” said the Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. “We have got a lot of different nationalities and we all gel together as one big unit. That goes a long way. The dressing room has to be good in football and ours is very good. That is the starting point.

“They are good lads. The songs? I don’t know what they were. I’m not French [speaking] or Italian! It’s one of those things in this industry. Some people don’t mind doing it, some people hate doing it — me being one of them.

“It’s about bedding in and it is a good welcome to the club. If you can understand the language, I’m sure that they did well but I didn’t stick around in school long enough to learn.”

Everton also have in place a “buddy” system of sorts where the club looks to pair a new recruit with a member of the squad with whom they might have something in common. This could be based upon nationality, or having played together at a previous club which helped André Gomes, Lucas Digne and Yerry Mina following their arrivals from Barcelona last summer.

In the case of Italy international Kean and Ivorian Gbamin, they both speak French and so have struck up a bond. They have also been staying at the same city centre hotel with the club organising lifts to and from training and any trips out.

Both will now start English lessons. Kean, the 19-year-old forward, already speaks limited English, while Gbamin, 23, commands good conversational English but will also have lessons in due course.

There are usually three lessons per week, either at home or Everton’s Finch Farm training HQ, and they can be one-on-one or group sessions with all the family.

All of this underpins and aids the work Silva is doing as he seeks to fast-track players signed at the end of the transfer window into the first team.

“I sit with them and work with them not just on the pitch, but with some videos so they can realise what we want in all the moments,” said Silva.

“Normally, we do all the job at Finch Farm with them. When they go home, I want them to rest, to relax with the family, keep thinking about the football, yes, and then come in the day after to work hard.

“The Premier League is different. Even though they have quality when they come here, we are talking about different players, different leagues
 
Personally I would rather keep him till January now, as we have no options to bring in a third choice before then and we could be left short for half a season. But I can understand the club doing it if we are going to make £20m back on what we paid. But I cant see that from a Turkish team, they just dont pay big transfers. If its a loan I dont see the point
Everyone has their opinion and to be honest if there was a choice between Tosun and Niasse Iwould go for Niasse every time, gotta admit neither are in any way perminant fixtures.
 
Jarrod Bowen - 22 years old, Silva knows him from his time at Hull, scored 22 goals last season in the championship despite the fact his club finished 13th

surely worth a punt over the likes of niasse, tosun and mirallas
Just missed a penno.

Bring a Blue home.
 
if there are americans out there they may know this name. hes not a footballer. he plays american football in college for louisiana state university known simply as LSU. he could play american football professionally but becuase of his size will not be an elite player. however i just see visions of him dominating EPL pitches. his american football problem is that he is only 5'6" and 160 lbs, not big enough to play in the NFL. he does however have a competition track speed of 10 seconds in the 100m and a certified 40 yd (35m or so) of 4.2 seconds. one of the fastest human beings on earth. you can put him on one end of the pitch, give any player a 20 meter head start and he will beat them easily to the other end of the pitch. although short he does have a vertical leap of of 40 inches well over 1 m so he woulkd be a weapon in the air. forget trying to stop this guy in space. he will run by anyone. he also has amazing short area quickness to get to balls way before slower defenders. although not heavy he has a strong body and will not get hurt playing football much. hes 19 years old. everton should throw him a 1/2 mil pounds put him in their development program. i can see visions of liverpool defenders left in the dust while this freak blows by. i have visions of him as one of the best strikers in the world. and hes tough and has a nasty attitude and will not go down easily when tackled and will be stronger faster and more athletic than any player on earth. trindon holliday from louisiana. thats the type of guy i want playing up front for me and you can try to catch him

could anyone tell this supposedly gay man why this player would not be an effective football player and why these slow unathletic white boys who should be working in the factory that they have in their system right now could have any possible chance of being better than this guy. 10 sec 100m. the world record is around 9.8 sec. a world class athlete vs some irish guy. i doubt the irish guy wins any athletic contests. dont knock it. im telling you there are genetic freaks in abundance over here. its a totally untapped resource of superior athletes. the brazillians dont even come close. all they have to do is learn football, which they will dominate as they do all other sports that they play. they are just that much better athletically.
