I wouldn't be surprised if he's loaned out.Not seen as much of him this season, but I think he's another caught between two positions at left back and centre back. For me, he's got a better chance at centre back but he needs to fill out some more. John Dean 2 Posted 04/06/2019 at 19:23:16 He's got a sweet left foot but his main job is as a defender and I thought he was beaten a bit too easily, especially when flying into tackles and arriving too late. He couldn't unseat Lewis Gibson at left centre back and a lot of his appearances this season were as a substitute.I can't see him making our first team; maybe management see a transfer value in him or they need him to start u23 games when Gibson and Morgan Feeney go on loan. Derek Knox 3 Posted 04/06/2019 at 20:02:23 Welcome to the Fould Matty! As with all the youngsters you hope they are going to make it, it's down to him now, so go for it lad. Mike Gaynes 4 Posted 04/06/2019 at 20:11:38 DK, I hate it when you beat me to the puns. Even the bad ones. Derek Knox 5 Posted 04/06/2019 at 20:18:39 Sorry Mike, 'the early bird catches the squirm' or something like that.Watched the England U-20 against Portugal before, I was surprised that not one player from Everton was in the squad, anyway they are out now beaten 3-2, serves them right for not having any of our lads to bail them out.That Reece James made a good account of himself, I wouldn't mind getting him in, but again it's Chelsea, so anything could happen. Paul Birmingham 6 Posted 04/06/2019 at 22:53:16 I watch the U23s regulars and Matty, is consistent, but has earned his deal.It's now or soon, meaning some time, but with some mentoring, he can do a job.3 years ago, he was in my view the best defender, and evolving, he must adapt to the nest season. Well earned Matty,. Mike Gaynes 7 Posted 05/06/2019 at 00:29:58 DK, now you can cheer for the US! Came from behind to shock France today 3-2. Cracking game, end-to-end. Si Smith 8 Posted 05/06/2019 at 12:16:33 A 1 year deal seems a bit of a gamble, if he kicks on we could lose him. Derek Knox 9 Posted 05/06/2019 at 12:43:51 Mike G, sure will look out for them, I suppose Antonee Robinson is in the senior squad list, can't find any info on the squad for US U-20's at all. Are there any good looking prospects there? Although at such a young age they can look good then fade into obscurity a couple of years on, but usually real talent stands out. I remember watching the Spanish U-18's and Deulofeu really stood out even then, and I was really happy when we got him, it was a great pity he was mis-managed and let go. He was always criticised for not dropping back to help the defence out, which to a degree was true, but now he has matured and with Watford of all teams, he seems to have matured, and has proved time and time again, he can win a match single-handedly.
