2017/18 Kieran Dowell

[johnnydawg68]

These lads are not being dumped.
They are being sent to clubs playing at a high standard to continue their development. Not all will make it at Everton because our hope is that we are growing into a club that is challenging at the very top of Premiership and also fighting for silverware....and it will be only players of the highest standard that make it.

We see the most successful clubs struggling to get any from their academies into their first teams and yet year after year we see the best of young talent going to their youth systems.
To suggest that if we don't continue to bring player after player into the first team from our academy that we won't attract good youngsters is laughable...the opposite is true.

We have a decision to make as fans as to what we want our club to be.
We can be plucky little Everton or we can become one of the big guns... but, the big guns can be nasty and mean and can stand on toes and use their muscle to bully.... but , they win and they win consistently and the best of players and young talent want to go to winners.

I think Moshiri and RK have decided that we join the big league , toes will be trod on.

Mate I want to win things, and if we do happy days. Please don't take this as wanting to do anything that prevents us from doing that.

Gonna to davek. Making out like two youngstars who have 3 PL apps between them as solution. You should go and apply for the Everton job dave.

If Dave think the Championship is rough imagine him starting tonight's game.

How their CH marking Ramires got away with fouling him from behind 4 times in 30 minutes without getting booked was unbelievable.

No yellow cards the entire game. The one he did in the first 5 mins was probably a booking or final warning in the PL.

Those chop blocks on DCL last week were so dirty. Can't believe that LB didn't get a red for that

Typical Eastern European football.

On the bench tonight

 

[Deulofeumygod]

My forest mate said he was boss tonight. Class above everyone on the pitch when he came on.

Anyone watch and confirm?

 

[ToffeeTim]

This will be a good move for him.

 

[NCLBlue]

Rave reviews doing the rounds on twitter

 

[Nymzee]

But the league is too rough for him

 

[Goat]

Pointless loan.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Thread on /r/soccer to keep an eye on. I've already asked for opinions on him.

Don't understand how Dowell can get praise for playing in a league where every team plays hoof ball and people only watch it for the meaty challenges which aren't allowed in the PL

Bizzare
