troy8 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Obviously never heard of him, but if we're going to be competing against United for a players signature then I don't fancy us winning this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To avoid confusion, that last paragraph says : "Earlier it was announced that Schepers will visit the club from Liverpool (Everton) in July with his parents and manager. Next he'll go to Scotland to join Everton players in a training camp. Afterwards, both sides will see if they can agree to terms." Don't know the player but that article would suggest we have a good chance at signing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) He is over here on trial apparently and played 60 minutes in the reserves friendly aith Clyde last night.

Louis Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Why would a newspaper add two players to the EFC lineup unless they took part? No idea who Savic is.. It might be Stefan Savic who has trialled with Arsenal recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 From Wiki, but you take wiki with a pinch of salt. In the 2010 Summer Transfer window, English Premier League club Everton F.C. tracked Schepers and arranged a trial for him. He started the Everton youth/reserve pre-season match against Clyde. Bob is widely tipped to be the next Robben[8] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everton_Worshiper Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 This is the newspapers lineup and substitutions: Everton XI: Davies, Thompson, Garbutt (Bidwell 46), Wallace (Savic 80), Nsiala, Mustafi, Schepers (Akpan 60), Barkley (Craig 69), Vaughan (Hope 73), Silva (Kinsella 54), Baxter This is from OS (http://www.evertonfc.com/match/report/0910/clyde-fc-2-2-everton-res) Everton Reserves: Davies, Thompson, Garbutt (Bidwell 46), Wallace, Nsiala, Mustafi, Akpan, Barkley (Craig 69), Vaughan (Hope 73), Silva (Kinsella 54), Baxter. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulcat1988 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 A young Everton side featuring a couple of trialists, Bob Schepers and late sub Stefan(?) Savic, held their Scottish hosts to a 2-2 draw in this Reserves/Under-18 friendly match. Clyde took the lead inside two minutes through McCusker firing a diagonal drive low into the far corner with Everton Keeper Adam Davies rooted to the spot. Everton should have been level within a minute when James Vaughan blasted tamely wide. Everton equalized when João Silva's shot was parried only for Ross Barkley to sidefoot home. The home side hit back when Dingwall scored from eight yards but Vaughan equalised off a pass from Hope Akpan on 64 minutes. After 13 second half subs Nathan Craig came closest to a winner for Everton with a cheeky lobbed effort from 30 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
