Because he's 15 mate.

Anyone seen these guys play?


Ethan Warnock (Defender): A ball-playing left-back, Belfast-born Warnock has represented his country at Under-15 level.

Anthony Gordon (Midfielder): An attacking midfielder who includes dribbling and finishing among his strengths, Gordon has represented England at Under-15 level.

Korede Adedoyin (Forward): Nigerian-born Adedoyin has already netted goals for Everton Under-18s having made his debut last season. On Everton’s books since the age of 10, he is also eligible to play for England.

Pawel Zuk (Midfielder): Born in Gdansk, hard-working midfielder Pawel was previously on the books at Oldham Athletic and has caps for Poland at both Under-15 and Under-16 level."

Not seen any of them play but I've read things about these 4 being decent prospects.

Because he's 15 mate.

All the scholars were announced today though

Joe Anderson (Defender): A technically-gifted left-back, Stalybridge-born Anderson joined Everton at the age of 15 having previously been on the books at Liverpool.

Oh, now i see. It all makes sense now "i'll make sure you get the go ahead for a new season if you give me the chance to become a professional footballer, but start me off in the U16's, so i can look a bit better to start off with".

Very cunning joe.

Michael Collins (Defender): Part of Everton’s Academy since the age of 14, pacy centre-back Collins is eligible to represent England, Republic of Ireland and Jamaica!

Joe Anderson (Defender): A technically-gifted left-back, Stalybridge-born Anderson joined Everton at the age of 15 having previously been on the books at Liverpool.

Kameron Stanley (Striker): An energetic and pacy striker, Stanley first joined Everton at the age of 11.

Elliot Richards (Defender): Richards has been in the Academy since the age of nine and identifies heading and tackling among his strengths.

Ellis Simms (Striker): Tall and pacy, Oldham-born Ellis signed on with Everton aged 16 and could play internationally for England, Poland or Jamaica.

Not seen any , only caught brief clips of some , usually on the wrong end of goals going in against the u18s. Seven of them started games for the u18s last season , though some only played in the tail end games when results were poor. The seven were Gordon, Warren, John, Collins, Anderson, Sim and Adeydoyin. Michael Collins got the most league games , 14 starts, 3 sub and was the one who missed the penalty that knocked us out of the Youth Cup against PNE. He looks a big lad , hopefully not just his size which has enabled him to play early. Korede Adedoyin is next ,10 league starts, 1 sub , 3 goals so sounds like a promising forward.
After a poor start last season, the u18s picked up a lot over about 12, 14 ish games then faded as the likes of Feeney , Beni and Evans moved up or on loan . The really interesting one this season for me will be Fraser Hornby. He looked a tall, capable midfielder playing for Scotland U17s/19s but was transformed into a goal scoring striker during the season, scoring a hat trick against City u18s and using his height to nab a few headed goals before injury cut his season short. Can he do it again this season is the question and particularly will he show enough to get game time for what will be a competitive U23s.

Great to see that Moshiri is also backing Unsworth. Strong links to Bowler and Brooks also.

Looks like Donkor is returning but only on loan , shame he got injured but showed enough to warrant another look. From Twitter :
"Anton donkor is 'back in Liverpool'. Announcement should be tomorrow, however only another loan."

 

[Zatara]

I'd like to see Hirst, Brooks and Bowler signed...

Hirst and Brooks seemed to be the two best players in the Toulon tournament and impressed at club youth level and Bowler 'must' be good if were offering 3mil+ for him...

3 English lads...

 

[Sinski]

Looks like some of the youth guys have started pre-season with the main squad. From the photos it looks like Sambou, Baningime and Feeney at least. I am sure others that were at the international tournaments will join later as well.

wouldnt read too much into yesterday, they were just doing their fitness tests in those videos as far as i could see.

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

I think I saw Bassala Sambou in the first team training pictures. I wonder how advanced the staff feel his development is.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Apparently the young lads, donkor, markelo and Boris all trained with unsworth today
