Everton scout at Russia U21 v Holland U21 match

[Bluenose1995]

Maher is seen as the new golden boy of the new Dutch football generation. Van Ginkel about to join Chelsea according to reports over here.

I cant stand it when the money bag clubs buy up all the good prospects the lads never get a game look at chelsea with the belgians de bruyne, cortouis, lukaku etc. not right

This u21 Dutch team looks better than the senior team, but don't forget how boss a certain Dutch winger looked in this tournament back in 07.

Remember watching di ridder playing amazing for the Dutch years ago. Blackburn snapped him up after the tournament and he was shocking. Similarly I remember watching (on eurosport-awful commentary) a young Andrea Pirlo, then at Inter play an amazing tournament and he turned out ok...

Hard to tell with the youngsters.

There's an Everton scout there for the Tournament, Jon Williams from the Academy.

Likely to see how players are getting on, but it's also likely he'll have targets in mind.

Obviously got to keep an up-to-date profile of players and can't rely on scout reports from years ago when they were 18, despite most of the players on show being known.

Jon Williams has moved from Academy Co-ordinator to Assistant Club Secretary. Maybe he's covering scouting duties if Robbie Cooke's future is up in the air?

I think Dzagoev of Russia and CSKA Moskow will be a big player in the future. 8 goals in 27 games for the full national side from midfield and he's not yet 23.

It gives them roughly 2 seasons of watching megastars getting signed up in their positions and getting c0ck all time on the pitch before they realise we're the perfect club for them
Incidentally, if Leroy Fer is 1 of our top targets then I'd be happy as he looks like a good player. But I'd guess that Martinez hasn't got a list of Michu's he's been waiting to sign up (once he could offer more than some good pies and old tales from the chairman about a cup final and a broken leg).

you sure,

Look at the teams in their group, so yes I'm sure they look better.

don't diss the opponents, turkey reached a world cup semi final not long ago and had amazing players like davor suker, hakan yakin and rustu recber, and now produce the likes of yilmaz and turan.

romania have very tricky youngsters too

don't know too much about hungary apart from the club videoton who did well in europe this season and produce a few suprise results.

Didn't know he'd moved, cheers for the heads up

Assumed that maybe Williams has previous experience from youth scouting and wasn't out of his depth at U21 level hence him being over there
