Manchester United academy striker Ethan Wheatley has emerged as a surprise permanent target for Everton, with the Merseyside club exploring a deal that few expected earlier this summer. The Manchester Evening News reports. Still can't get my head around this one if true ?. What are my fellow Evertonians ??
{Ed025's Note - what i have read he is very much one for the future if anything TB, his stats are very poor mate but somebody must see something in him, but we need players for the now imo and if he cost any money then its a no from me..

Yep, as with Dibling, one for the future.

Manu will be sniffing after Ndieye, so will be giving us all their crap as their skint.

Wheatley is supposed to be a great prospect, we've raided Nick Cox and a couple of their other academy coaches, so likely have good insight on him, one for the U23s.

We have Graham as a young forward and, to an extent, Barry as 'one for the future'.m if he is loaned out. Rather we saved our money and went all in for a RB and a 'now' striker like Ed25 says.
Unless this is all a subtle ploy to make signing Delap look like a superb decision

It may be we are also upgrading our youth for the future and this isn't a first team signing, which to me is a good thing. Yes, we need players for the first team, but we are a club, and players need bringing in for all the teams. The papers have made this into a thing nobody else.
{Ed025's Note - the trouble with that Pasty is that we are not a regular top 10 side which is the time to think about the future for me, we need to concentrate on the present for now because we dont seem to do very well when signing these young players mate, can you name someone in recent times who has broken through and established himself as a first team regular?, i just think its pie in the sky..
