Rumour on the Everton board he has joined them...

If true, can we command a fee for him?

I should hope so.... Can't believe we big up all these youth and let them go to clubs and we lose them :(.

Fee will go to tribunal and will be dismal.

 

[Hazey]

The lad would be better off staying here for a few more years, big move for a 15 year old.

 

[sufcalways]

I was looking forward to seeing him play for us and getting a reasonable fee. But obviously looks like none of them will occur ..

Obviously he would be better of staying here but its hard to prevent these youngsters from moving onto bigger and better things

Who are you to say that? Everton have one of the best and most productive youth development programmes in the country. Wayne Rooney, James Vaughan, Victor Anichebe and, in the future, Jose Baxter and Jack Rodwell, have all come through the ranks at Everton.

To say that he would "obviously" be better off with us is an extremely naive and ignorant statement.

Oh well, lets just hope there is a sizeable sell-on clause in the deal, or so much money after he plays so many games etc. Probably more likely than a big fee now.

"Naive" is possibly fair comment, but "ignorant"? Not sure that that comment was called for over a matter of opinion.

i was speaking to someone who is linked to the club on sunday about our youth prospects and he said that femi would end up at Man Utd or Everton.

Because it helps us get these players in the first place ... If this is true it will send a message to the kids out there that i) Southends development programme must be good if we keep sending players to Man U, Liverpool et al and ii) they won't stand in the way if a big club comes in

It's a shame, but BB makes a good point. It'll only be good for a youth system in the future.

 

[McNasty]

Let him go to Everton ? Why can't we swap him for one of their players ? Suggestions please.

We can't have Tim Howard, we've already got one of them.

Could Feders sell us to Cahill? Not literally sell of course.

 

[chadded]

That'll be a hell of a commute to training for a 15 year old doing his GCSE's- South London to Merseyside what, twice a week plus matches....

Obviously it would be better for us but would it really be better for him?

 

[Southend_Lady]

We all knew this one was good from the off. Never a chance in hell of keeping someone like him. He wants to play at the highest level and who can blame him.

err...along a similar theme and linking another thread - can't they have Peter Clarke back instead?

What does it say about Everton's youth development system if they produce defenders that don't mark their man, give away obvious pointless fouls and hoof the ball anywhere? Can't they talk to the lad and show him how he may end up if he goes to Everton...whereas if he stays at Southend he will be nurtured into a cultured footballer by our very own ST!

 

[Ricey]

I have done a bit of research and fishing on this subject and this is what I have found out.

He has signed for Everton but will not join them untill he has finished his exams and WE WILL GET A FEE for him.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Was Angell the last player we sold to Everton? Hope the lad does better than Sir Brett did.
