If its not a wind up, all the younger lads will be looking elsewhere when their contracts are due up. They need to have some hope of a first team future, slim though it is.

If you buy in a CB, then we have lads waiting in the wings who simply won't get chances. Why not try Browning, Pennington or Galloway at CB? At least in European games when the chance arises. I don't get the logic of just buying players in when you have lads who may easily be as good, or better...

no, he was alongside Pennington. Browning wasn't there.

Boss? Really? Better than Griffiths, who sat on the bench? I seriously doubt it, but then he has got a foreign name and was bought rather than raised by the academy. So, obviously he must be better. Otherwise it would have been a mistake to buy him, wouldn't it? He has played so few games since...

I believe RM has in the past pointed out that in the Spanish and Portuguese leagues the 'big' clubs have 'B' teams in the lower leagues, and that this is where the younger / less developed players earn their stripes. I think this 'mass loan' approach is his way of emulating that. I am sure this...

His older sister.

Not twitter; via Finch.

Apparently he has turned down a loan recently. Leeds Utd, I understand.

I think you may be mistaken: the lads didn't play Newcastle in the Youth Cup last year. The U21's played Newcastle at the end of the season, but he didn't play in that match either. He had excellent games in the Youth Cup against Port Vale and Arsenal, though, before they were knocked out by...

Have you seen Vellios playing U21's, though? Complete donkey...

Hammar got displaced earlier in the season by Pennington, who then went back to the U18's for the Youth Cup run. Then Browning came in to CB from RB since Stone is preferred RB (and Browning promptly got called up for England U19 CB despite having not played CB for years...!) . So, all in all...

After struggling to get U21 games at Everton, Anton has been playing frequently and scoring freely at Blackburn U21s. He's just been called up for England U19's on 21st March for the friendly against Turkey. Four other Everton lads are also called up (Lundstram,Stones,Browning and Pennington)...

This is a sad day for Everton and a sad loss for GOT. AB, you have our condolences. It must be like a death in the family to you. I hope a compromise is forthcoming, although it does sound like all options have been discussed. I agree that the suggested Echo article might help do the trick in...

I know I wouldn't have the bottle to walk away from 2 years on 8k a week. (or even half that). I admire the lad for having done that in order to do what he loves - playing competitive matches. Nice to hear he scored first time out.. well done lad.

All the young lads are up against it to get into the first team. I'm pretty sure that Forshaw is glad that he has been given the opportunity to go to Brentford. They aren't Everton, true, but for him it is a far better fate than training all week and never getting a proper match for years on...

Sporting bought out / re-acquired the outstanding 50% rights in Dier, so they own 100% now. I expect him to stay at Everton for this year - his parents are back in the UK now, and he has been playing for England U18 and now U19's. He won't want to be in a non-Prem team unless he has no choice...

any of you who are going able to twitter anything during the game? I'm keen to hear scores as it happens and its a bit far for me to go for a youth match!

I heard that there was an issue over compensation to Man U (where he came from) and as a result he wasn't offered a scholarship. I'm sure he will be safely ensconced at another club, and will probably become a mega-star so that we can all say ' Everton released him...' (like Jagielka, Baines etc...

if anyone finds any video /tv feeds from the games I would appreciate them being posted - perhaps also without dots...
