jamiemaher85 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Looked very good in U17 Championship. The media have taken no interest in this transfer though. Oh well. One for the future, and this one really does have a future IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noddy Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Who do Everton have in centre back now? There must be a lot of competition for places and that keeps players sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Senior? Yobo and Lescott fit, Jags injured, Rodwell being eased in by way of midfield. Youth wise the most promising seem to be Shane and Mustafi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant primarily in the reserves, although surely the likes of Mustafi and Duffy are expected to step up at some stage? Including the reserves and youth, Everton have about 8 centre-backs and there are only 2 first team places for centre backs in 4-4-2!

They're both very very young, most people don't even consider Rodwell to be a viable CB option this year. And Rodwell is probably the brightest prospect in English football.

I doubt Rodwell will be a CB for a long time and the more he plays he may well end up as a defensive midfielder. Duffy reminds me of Robert Huth (which I mean as a compliment) so if he progresses then it would be good to see him at CB for the 1st team. I think you rarely see an 18/19 year old starting for the 1st team at CB so Duffy needs to sit tight and keep impressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was inexperienced at times but on the whole showed why he was brought here so young. He had a 25 minutes or so where he was caught in possesion, was misplacing passes, getting pulled out of position, giving away daft free kicks, he looked way out of his depth and was clearly rattled, Moyse even took him off at half time and put Hibbo at CB If Rochdales forwards had thhat effect on him imagine what Torres would do. Im not writting him off on the back of 45 minutes of football Im just saying he is definitely not ready for the Prem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not writting him off on the back of 45 minutes of football Im just saying he is definitely not ready for the Prem While I agree that he is probably not ready for the Premiership, Duffy played just over an hour and not 45 minutes as you say and while I'm biased, I genuinely believe his level of performance wasn't exclusive to him. The whole team had nightmare moments; Hibbert failed to adequately track back and Wallace failed to cover, meaning Duffy had to close the gaps created, the great Phil Neville gave away a terrible penalty and I saw Lescott give the ball away on several occasions. I reckon Moyes only stuck Hibbert in centre-half because he wanted to give Coleman a run out and didn't want to replace Hibbert or Baines (and Lescott could be his golden-goose, so to speak). He didn't seem to have any other viable options for centre-half on the bench either. Was Mustafi even there?? Duffy showed his potential in the Rochdale game and capped the performance with a nicely taken goal. If he's playing reasonably confidently at this age, can you imagine him when he's say, 19? Incidentally (and keeping on-topic) Duffy and Mustafi played alongside each other the other day in a reserve game. Perhaps that's a future combination for Everton?

Im not having a go at him he could turn out to be a decent player but against Rochdale he looked awful IMO. He started out well enough but he made one horrendous pass about 20 minutes into the game and it seemed to effect his confidence because for about half an hour after that everything he did went wrong for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hello Noddy, are you sure it was Neville who gave the penalty away. ?

Hibbo not tracking back....did you not see the FA cup final??? I wouldn't have so much of a problem with it if he did anything going forward, but he's awful going forward! And when he does go forward, he shoes the ball for a goal kick or to the defence and then gets caught out on the break :/ And I agree with Noddy, I thought Duffy was easily on par with Lescott at Rochdale, and IMO played better than Hibbert. Wallace was awful tracking back and caused a huge problem for Hibbert and Duffy. Not to say he was perfect but it genuinely was difficult to pick out the U-18 in the back 4 when Duffy was on.

lilpyrokid951 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 not really what i'd like to hear, nor is it what i think would be best for the club at this point. distin is getting up in years and who know's whether johnny will still be here come the end of summer. i think next season will be the time for duffy and mustafi to start getting some playing time and transitioning to the first team.

The Sport Director of the Sensitive Paschal Sampdoria has completed, a P2o to surprise, its third party purchase of the January market.

The greater satisfactions have had to them up to now with the juvenile Germans, of which ago it leave since Under 16. In World-wide October 2009 it has participated to Under 17 in Nigeria and has marked also a net. Currently he is the captain of Under 20. Great physical preroom, is difficult to exceed and has also a good foot that the door often to being able to play also to centrocampo. With the blucerchiato club it has signed a contract of 4 years and means and has arrived to parameter zero since the contract with the Toffies expired to next june, but existed a clause that would have freed it also six months before. From today it will be on hand of mister the Iachini to Bogliasco that will test the qualities and will decide some if to hold it in First square or to send it makes boneses in the Spring. of Orrù Mark http://blogs.soccernet.com/onthemove/archives/2012/01/sunderland_star_shock_arsenal_1.php 10.47 GMT: Everton defender Shkodran Mustafi has passed a medical at Serie B side Sampdoria this morning, according to Calcio Mercato.

codders78 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Brilliant. At least it clears the way for us to sign another young centre back in the window who can play for our reserves and then move on before being given a chance.

Developing kids isn't just about what they can do for us, but what we can do for them. He'll move on a wiser player as a result of his time here.
