Stanley Mills is moving back to Oxford United this month but this time it's on a permanent basis after Everton agreed to sell the versatile player to the U's.

Mills was on loan with Oxford last season when he suffered a serious knee injury that prematurely ended his spell there and forced him to return to Merseyside for his rehabilitation.

It had been expected that Mills, the son of former Leeds and Manchester City defender, Danny and a hugely promising Academy prospect, would be farmed out on another loan this month following his recent return to training but he is now set to leave Everton.

The fee that takes Mills south is undisclosed.

No!!! This is one we should not have let go. The boy has talent. Hope we have a buy back clause.

I think he is a very talented player, hopefully a sell on clause or buy back in deal.

Very strange. Possible Moyes dosn't like his dad.

Wow, how the wheel of fortune turns.

I'd love to know why, but for me he was in the top 2 players in that team until his injury.

Good luck Stanley in furthering your football career.

Shocked to be honest, he was one I thought we should keep ! Got him fit after bad injury, to benefit another Club ?

Funny Old Game ?

Very pleased for the lad. Good player at u21 level and needs games which he won't get at Everton. Hope he does well.

Moyes very publicly embraced his Dad on the pitch after West Ham's European success.

Really don't think there's an issue there tbh.

At least it wasn’t Accrington Stanley!

What a shame - was certain this guy could get to EPL standard given the rave reports. Obviously not

Seems our academy (Harrison Armstrong aside) really isn’t up to much

Watched him in the States in pre season a few seasons back, looked a very good prospect, raw and game as a badger, poor decision imo.
