QPR - Great everyone's for sale 5 million please Everton - are you kidding? He's played one game. QPR - I know, isn't life unfair, bye. Job done. | | | |

500k not bad - plus add the usual sell on fee.... no idea how good the lad is but at least we are getting some youth players with some quality coming through | |

Bloody hell, that was a short Rangers career on 11:21 - May 23 with 4176 views | daveB | He looked quite good at Norwich, this story may have some truth in it as Everton have been signing quite a few young players recently, got a few from Charlton in January. Ideally we'd get a fee for him and they'd loan him back for a year so we get money and the player next season | | | |

Bloody hell, that was a short Rangers career on 13:18 - May 23 with 3754 views | WadR | Haven't seen as much of him as others (always enjoy Smegma's insights into youth team players) but seen him 3/4 times live for our youth teams and he's always been our stand out outfield player but I'm slightly surprised by this. Granted, it was just one match but against Spurs in the FA Youth Cup match, he didn't look near the level of the Spurs wingers and struggled against their left back. Caveat to this is that the rest of the QPR side were pretty poor and invariably Bowler was the hub of every creative move and he kinda tried to do too much. Perhaps he'd benefit from the better teammates and infrastructure at somewhere like Everton. Definitely has ability so would like to keep hold of him. [Post edited 23 May 2017 13:19]

That's similar to my view, on limited viewings of him. Nice left foot on him, good delivery, but got tonnes more developing to do. Surprised to see Everton looking at him tbh. Nice prospect, but some way behind Shodipo in the pecking order. | | | |

Would they want to loan him back if he wasn't going to get regular first team starts? After one cameo role in which he looked pretty good, I would be pleasantly surprised if he was ready to be in our forward line for the first game in August. | | | |

The Spurs game was a long time ago in terms of youth team football.They were outclassed by the youth team of a Champions League club. As I've said before, someone has got him doing a lot of weight training as his upper body strength has improved immeasurably. He's gone from a left wing weakling to one of our strongest players. But what really impresses me is is his never say die attitude. Even when the Under 23s are losing, he'll chase a lost cause in the dying seconds. A prime example was Palace reserves away about 5 weeks ago. We were dreadful. Losing 2-0 in the last minutes to NINE men, him and Dan Derbyshire combined to create a chance and ended up winning a penalty. He slotted it in to make it four goals in the last four games. Rightly so he was added to the squad for Norwich. Still surprised by this story though. | | | |

You don't keep anything under wraps in Youth team football. When Joe Cole (remember him?) was 12, every club in SE England knew about him. I doubt if that has changed much, today. | |

Bloody hell, that was a short Rangers career on 12:50 - May 24 with 2604 views | TacticalR | Isn't the impulse buying of young players by Premiership clubs the very thing that everybody has been complaining about? These neglected players are then locked in cages and forgotten about. It's very cruel. | |

Bloody hell, that was a short Rangers career on 14:04 - May 24 with 2522 views | simmo | Well Everton have the ex Leicester guy as their recruitment specialist and he knows how to spot a player - all the ex-pros at QPR raved about him even before the Norwich debut. Odd one as you can't see him playing 1st team next season yet we're turning down fairly substantial offers... Can anyone that's seen him know if he's a left or right winger predominantly? | |

I've seen him play twice and on each occasion he started on the left wing but went both down the line and cut inside which might suggest he's two footed. He looks quick and skillful and is hard to stop once in his stride. In one game I seem to recall that three opposition players (Coventry City if my memory serves) were booked for pulling him down. I think he's only 17 but wouldn't be surprised to see him appear in pre-season friendlies. | | | |
Bloody hell, that was a short Rangers career on 13:49 - May 25 with 1999 views | NW10Hoop | It'll be interesting if Everton do come back with something substantial. Are we best served keeping a player to develop, or sell for a couple of million and spend it on 1 old school Championship bastard defender? | | | |
