Quick question Ed's. Whatever happened to the situation regarding Azerbaijani international Araz Abdullayev? I know he was an Everton player between 2011/12 and we loaned him out over two seasons for first team action (whilst he tried for a work permit) but do we still have a first option purchase if we do decide to re-sign him? Do Everton still hold him in high regard? I'm not 100% if he's actually still an Everton player. If anybody could shed some light I would be grateful.

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what the situation is with him. I will try and find out.}

Bloody hell! Talk about a blast from the past. I remember him vaguely. I just thought we binned him off because he was crap

Hi jack I believe there where a few issues regarding his permit, he needed to play more games for the international team but I believe we are still monitoring his development and may go back in for him when he is eligible

Cheers for the insight guys, I was curious as he was held in high regard and looked a genuine talent. I hope we are still scouting players like this, you never know someone as potent as Barkley could once again pop up out of nowhere, after all we're Everton aren't we?

Ed002 if you could give us all more info if/when you find out regarding Abdullayev that would be excellent.

Merry Christmas lads/gals/eds.
