Why are you so obsessed with under 21 players? The lad is just an inexperienced kid and bringing him to Everton would not help us progress one bit!
We need some quality and leadership on the pitch to take us back into Europe before we start looking to sign "future stars"

everton football club themselves should be obsessed with their youth, as its all well and good saying that we've won the u23 prem twice in so many years, however none of them are making the step, if everton football club u23's are beating the likes of liverpool united chelsea city to the title, why is more players coming out of their academy and playing first team football than ours?
the simple answer being the step from u23 to the first team is enormous, and imo the u23 is pointless players need to be playing first team football if you value them as a future part of this team, your likes of gibson feeney gordon evans adeniran markelo john foulds astley (argument maybe against gordon as young and fresh) the club needs a specialist dept to oversee this and just this, finding them the perfect club to be playing for where they will play week in week out and learn the mens game. chelsea do this superbly as do LFC when even if they don't see their youth being important for them, they get a fee for a player whose found the perfect club to be at and excelled something again efc do not do.

I know someone who knows Liverpool's set up really well and as well as a youth team coach they have a coach just for development of the youth players who works with them one on one to take them from the youth team to the next level.
I'm not aware of anything similar at Everton but it sounds like a good idea.

Uran, we have 2 decent 19 year olds ourselves in Lewis Gibson and Anthony Gordon, we persist in giving a Moise Kean again 19 years old, regular run outs from the bench but overlook our own youngsters.
As soon as we got wind of our neighbours team, we should have drafted those two into the squad, having already beaten them at Anfield 2 nil for the u23s.
