If they do make a bid then we can't really stand in his way, pity though as he is one of our own and is just coming to the top of his form.

Ronald Koeman probably can't sleep at night for thinking about what Bobby could do for Everton's title hopes and  European glory.

Posting so I can lord it over @Fordy62 when he inevitably signs a contract

[Chairman Mao]

:laugh:, there is -100% chances of this happening. 

[Bobbie]

Clearly agent talk to get him a nice new contract while his stock is high. Don't we have the option of an additional year on his previous deal, as we do with Pack?

What a load of old carp..

Christian Ribeiro, James Wilson....papers/sites like linking our players to Everton.

I wouldn't worry about it.

And Joe in the past and more recently. Local scout or ex city player working for them? There's always someone linked with them isn't there, and none if it has ever happened. Not a club we have ever had any dealings with are they.

[citywest30]

Yeah right. Fork out 50m on Syguardsson, sign Claesen, let Barclay go as there's no room for him but get Reid in too. Not adding up to me.

Forgot about Joe.

I can't remember any dealings with them - certainly in my time, and if it was it was probably a youth signing or possibly a loan (we've had a few over the years). 

Think a lot of it could also have been the Moyes connection during his time there also.

Fawthrop was their SW Scout , (In at Everton via his mate Lumsden) not sure if he's still involved

[RedM]

@Taz @BobBobSuperBob I realised the Moyse and Lumsden connection, both long gone from Everton though. I think Lumsden followed him to ManU didn't he, not sure where he is now? Must be retired, not that scouts ever completely retire? Forgot about  Fawthrop, maybe he is the connection. 

[RedM]

@Taz @BobBobSuperBob what about him, Joe Royle, Professional Development Co-ordinator at Everton?

its a link, but he probably works eith players a lot younger than young Joe and Young Bobby!

Now you mention it.. it rings a bell that there's someone with a City connection working for Everton but can't recall who.. former player I think

Just remembered - Fawthrop was who I was thinking of

"With the dismissal of David Moyes as Manchester United manager on 22 April 2014, Lumsden also parted company with the club along with assistant manager, Steve Round.

Lumsden was briefly linked with the vacant Southampton job in 2014 but insisted he was too busy with his allotment."

Wasn't it Brian Tinnion, doing work for Everton whilst over in Spain?

If you believe this you'll believe anything!

[RUSSEL85]

Standard lazy journalism, has a great start to the season, agent thinks he can get him more money (and hi/her more money) and a story of a Prem League club being interested appears. These stories are ten a penny these days.

Must admit I had no idea about Fawthrop!!

If Reid was 18 or 19 years-old, I could maybe see it but he's 24, he is nowhere near good enough to compete with what Everton or Leicester have in their first teams.

Everton have forked out £45m for Sigurdsson, Reid can't compete there.

Leicester have just sold Tom Lawrence to Derby for £7m & given the choice of the two, I'd much rather have Lawrence any day of the week.

As for Middlesbrough being interested, they have Bamford playing off of the strikers who they paid around £10m for & while I don't particularly rate Bamford (especially at that price), he has a better pedigree than Reid & has been starting so far this season.

Sorry but it just doesn't fit, he's beyond the age of being someone with potential, he should now be at an age where he's playing towards his best.

[Andy082005]

Probally one of the funniest things I've heard in ages

Not even good enough or consistant enough for this level.

I can't think why but you must be forgetting this guy:  Wasn't it one proper goal, one thirty yard own goal and one red card in 14 appearances for us?  

Taken from wiki: "Atteveld is most remembered by Evertonians for stripping during an end of season lap of honour and throwing his kit and his stained y fronts into the crowd".

Ssshhhhh, as far as the outside world is concerned, he's Young Bobby Reid.

I remember a Preston scout travelling down to watch a player from the team I played for.  He was scoring for fun and word had got around.

He approach one of our team during the warm up and asked which player was the lad he'd come to see.  He was pointed in the direction of our striker, early 30s, prematurely going grey.  He was furious, had been told he was a young'un.  He got back in his car and left.
