" the vast majority of highly rated Everton Academy products who seem destined for a future that is a long way below the Premier League."
Bit unfair that, isn't it?
The word Everton is superfluous in that sentence. It applies to ALL "highly rated Academy products" not just ours.
My pal AI says that 97% of Category 1 academy players ('the highest level of elite youth training') never appear in the Prem at all, which means Onyango already beat staggering odds to appear even five times in the blue shirt.

Imagine if that happened at our new stadium against United. The place would be like a mad house because deep down in the most cautious of us, that football is in our DNA. What’s our Name?...

I've never quite understood the enthusiasm for Iraola.
Less than 39% winning percentage for his career, albeit with a couple of Spanish Cup semifinals. Less than 38% winning at Bournemouth with no Cup runs -- out early this season.
Sets up his teams for quick counterpunches and free kicks, and does it well, but not known for style or creativity.
So what's the attraction, aside from the movie-star hair?...
