Anton Donkor

[Eggs]

Meh, hopefully something can be made of him and we'll see him in a few years. If not then just send him back at the end of the season, no harm no foul. Be arsed with anymore Henens or Rodriguezs though, players we're promised we'll see step up into the first team but they get lost in the abyss of reserve football.

...these types are low risk, high reward. For every 5 Henen's you might get a Stones or Holgate. Don't just highlight the ones who failed, they haven't cost us too much.

...Calvert-Lewin had broken in. Be interesting to see if he fits the bill.

Lookman goes one match without scoring and everyone forgets about him. #LookmanLivesMatter

..I suppose we think of Lookman as a winger as opposed to a striker but who knows.

Gives me a donk on.

If he was any good we'd probably have heard of him.

...he's never played first team football, I think he only reached 19 recently.

In all fairness this would probably have been the year for him to get mins in the first team but Wolfsburg have hovered over the relegation places most of the season. Less likely to risk youth in those situations.

Song for Anton Donkor - to the tune of the song from the Willy Wonka movie:

DON-KOR
DON-KOR
DOOPITY DOO
WE'VE GOT A PLAYER
PLAYING IN BLUE

RUNNING DOWN THE WING
DRIBBLING FAST
HE'S THE GERMAN FROM GOTTIGEN
AND HE'S QUITE SIMPLY CLASS

So this signing seems to confirm the theory that we are trying to treat the U23s as an actual Everton B side. Interesting strategy. Has anyone done similar in English football before?

 

[macdog]

Just what thew Donker ordered.

 

[JustOpp]

I was slightly curious so I sent Wolfsburg an interview request. You want it if I get anything @GrandOldTeam?

Plenty of good things about this move.

On paper he ticks a lot of boxes, and it's a pretty random signing (whilst at the same time he has some credentials such as the Germany youth caps), so it seems like a Walsh special to me.

I'm made up that the under 23's is being treated with so much respect, like a proper team and a top class development tool.

Seems every one at the club is onto it and supporting unsworth properly.

If we get hirst in and the lad from city its a big statement youth wise.

Plus we know if they have the talent, unsworth and staff will more than likely get them ready for first team, he takes so much pride in his role.
