Is there a slight chance that the man who sees these players day in day out and will discuss them with the U23 manager knows a little bit more than you?...............just a chance?

No one knows more than Dave.

Koeman loans out Keiran Dowell who has virtually played a handful of first team competitive fixtures; gets hammered for it. Koeman gives Calvert-Lewin opportunities to play; gets hammered for it. Classic no win position.
On the subject of Dowell, this is a good move for him. Success with Everton's youth team, check. Success with an England age-group, check. Success playing competitive football against solid opposition, soon to be checked (hopefully). Very clear strategy in place, if he's good enough you'll see him back in blue in no time, if he ain't then we move on to the next one.

Dowell is skillful but he looks a bit lightweight, I think a season in the championship will be good for him.

Is he?

Which goes to the heart of the matter, because most of us do think he's good enough...and if the manager watched what we watched and came to another conclusion then he's arrived at the wrong one, quite obviously.
But you said it: his aim is to build a successful team. I suggest he gets he finds one this season or his spending and decision making in general are going to be criticised and he'll have an uphill battle in any third season he has here.

I have no interest in what he thinks. Unfortunately we have to live with it for now, but that's as far as it goes for me.
and if the manager watched what we watched and came to another conclusion then he's come to the wrong conclusion, quite obviously..................???????
Care to elaborate........I'd love to read your insights, you sound like an extremely knowledgeable FOOTBALL FAN

If you have an opinion on anything how can you not back it against what anyone else thinks?
The feller has won the square root of f.a. in the last 10 years. Am I supposed to prostrate myself before someone like him?
..it doesn't seem that long ago that you were asking for opinions on Dowell and now you say he's good enough for the first team.
I only saw him in one game, looked fairly decent, but in the same game most nay-sayers were willing to write off our summer signings.
Loan him out, toughen him up, bring him back a better player. good enough for Beckham and a whole host of others, good enough for any of our growing starlets.
