Everton Sign Sambou (2019 edit - released)

[Yarrgh]

LOL at the fall from grace

Homepage to released in 9 pages.

I'd say more a shrug of the shoulders than a LOL. Just one of those things.

Think more emphasis is put on results with our U23's than actually developing players for the first team

Constantly changing the u23 line up can impact on the development of the players we want to keep.

So if Kieran Dowell (whoever) is having to gel with a different set of players every year he might struggle, but having a consistent base can help him showcase his talents.

Looks like it's done and dusted, although no official announcement yet.

Good bye and best of luck Bass

Welcome and an enormous amount of good luck Bass

I see your point but I think it's unfair/lazy to dismiss that opinion as being from a football manager generation - especially when the club itself signed an agreement to utilise football managers own database;



But anyway, with regards to Sambou, as I said a while back on here when discussing Simms;



Sambou does play into the growing comment of;



Browning, Galloway, Pennington were all playing for the U23s long after the club concluded they weren't going to be first team material.

There was a great article from the clubs academy director Joel Waldron but unfortunately, the club have ballsed up yet another migration. Really is annoying that they never transfer content and lose ti all when they update the website...



I've no clue really but I tend to think if you know someone isn't good enough, why bother? To that end, I'd have thrown Simms upfront in pre-season before Niasse.

It’s a funny one with Simms; we pack our tour squad with U23 players but leave out the one that has the most hype surrounding him.

Moyes handled the young players on the fringes of the first team squad with care and that tactic seems to have been taken to the extreme now, with promising players missing out on opportunities to ‘learn on the job’ so to speak and then eventually being released.

Already bored of seeing this on the front page, world football or bin.

I think its very telling that a thread for a lad who never saw the Everton first team is still sitting on the front page with only 2 weeks of the transfer window left Mikeh son.

VERY TELLING
