Lewis Dobbin signs new contract with Everton

Lewis Dobbin has signed a new contract with Everton, penning a 3½-year deal until the end of June 2025.
The reported impasse between Everton and the exciting striking prospect that had prevented an agreement being reached until now has finally been resolved and thus should now see him remaining with the Blues through at least June 2025.
Dobbin's first professional contract with Everton was due to expire at the end of the season and there were concerns that he hold talks with other interested clubs but Everton have been keen to avoid a similar situation that saw Thierry Small walk away as a free agent last summer.
Dobbin, who has made more progress with the first team this season in three substitute appearances, has expressed his desire to remain with his boyhood cluband there was finally a breakthrough in negotiations on new terms for the 19-year-old.

Dobbin made his Everton senior debut in September 2021 when he was introduced by Carlo Ancelotti as a substitute in the Blues' 2-0 win over Norwich City at Goodison Park.
Speaking to evertontv, Dobbin said: “It's a huge honour that the Club has put their faith in me with this new deal.
“I love Everton and I've been here for such a long time now. I'm so grateful for the chances I've been given and to all the coaches I've had during my time in the Academy.
“I'm comfortable in the environment here and I just want to make the people at Everton proud and my family proud.
“I'm going to keep working hard and keep pushing. Hopefully I can get more opportunities in the First Team and score my first goal.”

He looks to have real pace and the attitude to learn from those around him.
I look forward to seeing him progress up the ladder.

Danny, see you at Wembley!!

I said on the earlier thread, I wonder if we are seeing the fruits of Brands' work? Alleged and apparent restructure of the academy set up by promoting younger players into the U18s early and likewise, U18s into the U23s to accelerate their development.
I thought Patterson grew into that game Rob. He'll come good once he adjusts. Dobbin adds energy - I still see a potential number 10. Branthwaite and Warrington to come as well and I am liking Stanley Mills the more I see him.
I have to unfortunately finish on a negative; am I missing something or have I just watched games where Simms has had an off day? I confess to only having seen him play about 3 or 4 times.

Dobbin is completely different from Small who never committed to a pro contract and refused to train with the Club despite having a Scholarship contract. Dobbin did sign a pro contract, this is his second contract. Good on him, hes got a deal hes happy with and so are most Evertonians.

Now to see if the manager saga is ending or more twists to come.
Stability and unity seem light years away, but now more than ever they are needed to fight and stay in this league.

A League One loan would help guarantee regular starts.
Simms is an old fashioned centre forward who strikes the ball well.
Dobbin is a modern forward with decent pace and movement.
How good they could become is largely down to their work ethic and luck to stay injury-free and grab an opportunity.

Danny, I think Simms has struggled a bit in some recent games, but I thought on Monday he did well against his marker - better than Dobbin this week though Dobbin's marker was impressive.

"Tom #16, thats why they have agents. "
Yes indeed!
Phil, I'm merely saying it used to be the case up until very recently that these kids coming through accepted a contract from their first club, the one that give them their first chance without queston.
They're literally now agitating while still in the womb of the U23's and not yet born into the full team. These contracts they hand out to newborns (using the metaphor above) are pretty much standard and signed immediately, you'd be a Messi, Mbabbe to think you have something special above and beyond, does he?

I know you can never tell and there are many false dawns, but there seems to be a good batch coming through.
33 Posted 27/01/2022 at 21:28:38
As noted above, some much-needed light at the end of this god awful tunnel, and hopefully it's not from a torch with Moshiri coming to dump more shit on us.
