What does our Fm Scout think?

 

[when i score we riot]

“I’ve had to sacrifice a lot of things but it has been worth it to get the chance to play for Everton Football Club, “ Long told evertontv.

“I’ve got a lot of people to thank get for getting this far. The whole of the Everton academy have been so good to me. Hopefully I can make them proud.

“Hopefully I can get recognised by the manager and make my debut one day – that’s all I want to do.

“It would be the best thing ever [to play for the first team at Goodison Park]. If I could score a goal at the Gwladys Street, I would be ecstatic. It would be unbelievable.”

Well said lad. Good luck, fingers crossed for this guy.

I really have to say our young strikers look like good prospects. Between McAleny, Long, Kennedy, Hope and Vellios we have a massive bunch of talent. Granted, not all of them will make it but i have the impression it's more likely than not. And surely training with Deulofeu will help these lads out. (Have you noticed this with Mirallas in the seniors? It looks like he taught Baines how to do a "ronaldo chop"!)
Lately we've seen a lot of good talent emerging in the Premier League, let's hope this season that it's time for one of ours to make it through. Be it Barkley or effing Touray. I love how Martinez seems to understand we can create a lot of value from within the club without looking "small club", there's still room to act in the market as well.

Christ, i haven't been this optimistic about Everton since...december.

Speaks well for a young lad. Nice to see a bit of ambition. The sort of player that should be on the bench against weaker teams, give him 20 minutes at the end to have a run at them, him, Kennedy and McAleny.
