more young talent attracted to the club, well done Moyes and Co.
Will he become Top (of the) Shop at Goodison's youth setup?
Green cash splash

Hmm, go on then Loz...give us the list.
I appreciate what City are doing with an academy...and you obviously will develop some good players. However I feel that many of your 16/17 year olds will look around them and just think they don't have a hope in hell of getting a game. Look at the likes of Milner and Johnson. Both good players whose careers are now stalling. That's not a swipe at City, because they have simply bought better players. Fair play to them.

In the prem, sturridge boyata ireland swp barton, abroad guddeti weis, all products of our academy, although non now play in the city first team they still are academy products, at the moment we have several excellent prospects my favourite Is Harry bunn son of frankie bunn who used to play for Oldham!
At the moment our first team squad is too good for any academy player to break into it on a regular basis, but that is because our transfer policy as it stands at this moment was to buy class players to break the top four and have a crack at the prem!
Thing is with ffp coming in and our new academy on the way the best youngsters around will have a real chance and the worlds best facilities to improve not only there football but academic prospects!
Truth is even if Everton do produce a class player every now and then a big club will snatch them off you!

Ones not from other clubs.....like Hart, Johnson, Richards

Our academy has produced more premiership players than yours, prove me wrong if you can!
With our new academy it will stand us in good stead for the future whilst you lot will probably end up relagated!
Well I hope you end up relegated!

Oh no, you are the one claiming it is producing quality now. I doubt it very much, more the lack of knowledge you have about football is letting you down.
The shame of a play-off final win against Gillingham will never happen to Everton

You can say that for sure can you! Moyes won't stick around forever and sooner I would say rather than later he will move to a bigger club!
I see you dodged my question about city producing more prem players than Everton.
