sconnerefc Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Everton have really looked to improve their youth team by investing in some good young prospects aswell as nutruring some others. Scott Spencer John Ruddy Victor Anichebe James Vaughn John Paul Kissock Johan Davidson Bjarni Vidarson All are capable of making an impact in the premiership for us. The futures bright the Futures Blue !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldfishMemory Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I think the only way we can become a power again is to concentrate on youth and our academy, play "the long game" and make us solid for the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconnerefc Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 i agree over the past couple of years we have made a handful of England players from our youth team (wayne rooney, michael ball and franny the fanny jeffers). also Everton need to really upate the academy the state of that littlewoods thats an utter disgrace. just one big open field with porta cabins.

Romey 1878 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I havnt heard of Kissock or Davidson, are they any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconnerefc Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 i seen kissock play and he looks an exciting prospect but heard good things about davidson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Gwladys Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Musn't forget the likes of Osman and Hibbo who have come through the ranks to cement a place in the team. Must admit that we do produce some good players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 i seen kissock play and he looks an exciting prospect but heard good things about davidson <{POST_SNAPBACK}> People had been saying that Steven Schumacher looked quality and Moyes let him go without giving him a go, doubt it will be any different now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 John Paul Kissock is only 14 - 15 years old, he cant play in the prem yet! he may be good, and yeh i have seen him and he looks very promosing! but at that age its too early! Here is a Clip of John Paul Kissock on Soccer Am Showboat! John Paul Kissock Showboat Clip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I wasnt saying he should be playing now but its doubtful if DM is still around that he'll get anywhere near the first team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I think most prem clubs will have very similar group of players, they are all young and only a few ever make it. How many over recent years have gone on to be great. Look at out fa youth finalist side, only rooney has come through (SPITS ON THE FLOOR) So we are hardly doing a spur, they have signed more finished articles, and plenty of them to try and get the right balance/system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Spurs remind me of Chelsea, buying quality players so nobody else can have them (midfielders in their case) and ruining their careers, especially young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 to be fair spurs have shiped out some of there players to teams (portsmouth for example) they gave lennon his big chance and hes took it with both hands. as for ruining their carreers surely they have done that themselves by being greedy little bastards e.g. SWP, when the fully well knew that they would be a bit part player, no sympathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 You cant really say SWP would have expected to be a bit part player, he played regularly at City and was playing for England so he should have expected to have atleast been given a fair crack in the Chesea first team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) You cant really say SWP would have expected to be a bit part player, he played regularly at City and was playing for England so he should have expected to have atleast been given a fair crack in the Chesea first team <{POST_SNAPBACK}> city and chelsea are leagues apart for quality in all honesty, who would you replace SWP, he must have known that romans money would bring in more quality midfielders. lampard, duff, gudjohnson (mid this season i think?), makalee, robben, gereami, cole etc. he couldnt serisouly think he would always be playin with the depth chelsea have? EDIT: This is not to say i do not rate SWP, hes a good player, i dont think hes better than the midfield chelsea start with however Edited May 24, 2006 by ianthetoffee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavier Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Scott SpencerJohn Ruddy Victor Anichebe James Vaughn John Paul Kissock Johan Davidson Bjarni Vidarson All are capable of making an impact in the premiership for us. The futures bright the Futures Blue !!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tell you what, i would be VERY suprised if even 2 of them make it. But not surpised at all if all of them end in championship or become a banker or something like that. Its different from being talented at 14, potential at 18.. the next [insert current star name] at 19 and actually cutting it in the premiership. Ill give you an example..Robbie foy, very talented wingner. Supposed to be the successor to Mcmanaman. Very quick, rave reviews from his U-19 exploits for Ireland. Never gets a first team game, goes on loan to a second division side from a season, gets released the next year. Mark Smyth, scouser, HUGE liverpool fan, striker with two good feet, good finisher, quick as fuck, scored for fun in the U-18 league..gets released the next. John Welsh, another fella with rave reviews in the teenaged leagues. Good on the ball, good at set pieces, 'experts' reckoning that he and Gerrard would not be able to play together as they are too similar. Well, he too gets transferred to a lower division club, Hull City. Did they not have talent? They did. Did they make it? Not quite. Why not? Not enough progession from 'a talent' to, a good player when older. Dont rest your hopes on kids, mate. Some of them come good, most of them dont. Dont blame Moyes for letting kids go. He and his coaches know what they're doing. Some actually dont have the physical quality, some dont have the mental capability and some are just shite...any of the three issues with any kid, 99% of the times he not going to make it.

Romey 1878 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Well three out of the players mentioned by sconnerefc have had some impact for us - John Ruddy - thrown in at the deep end and played well Victor Anichebe - scored a fantastic goal for us to help start the revival against WBA James Vaughan - showed alot of promise of making it before his injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconnerefc Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 All we need is to have a good influx of talented youngsters like man utd did and with a new academy built and DM staying incharge i can see us going far. All we need is a bit of luck with youngsters and for DM to have the bottle to give youth a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboyquim Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I must admit it is looking very impressive in the youth ranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I share w/xavier's view. Most youngsters are rated as having good potential but their potential never matured to yield good players (Jeffers, Branch, Cadamateri). Anyway, gd luck to the list of younsgters, hope as many of them could make the change into a good player. I'll not be greedy, if 1-2 come really good like Hibbo does, I would be most satisifed.

Rob W Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 middlesboro seem to have been getting it right, they fielded all their youngies for the last few games and they did v well, we only just beat them with our 1st team out. give them a coupe of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsmith69 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 i agree with what you are all saying. not many promising players do make it but from what i have heard john paul kissock is basically SH*T HOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 It's going to be a while before we see him anywhere near the first team due to his age but ill be looking forward to it whenever it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconnerefc Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 i wreckon he will be a great player for us but we always build up our youngsters and we always end up knocking them down for not performing to our standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
