    Everton to sign Bradford City starlet George Green in whopping £2million deal



    12:10am Monday 3rd October 2011


    City are set to sell a teenage prodigy to Everton in a mega-bucks deal that will bank them up to £2 million.



    Everton have beaten off interest from over 20 clubs, including some
    from abroad, to sign 15-year-old midfielder George Green, who is seen as
    one of the hottest prospects in the country.



    The deal was done at Saturday’s Merseyside derby after talks between
    Archie Christie, Peter Horne and Everton boss David Moyes.



    Tottenham and Rangers were also chasing Dewsbury-born Green but he
    felt a move to Everton – and their reputation for blooding youngsters –
    was the best choice.



    City will receive nearly £300,000 straight away from the first payment
    for a player who has come up through the school of excellence.



    The deal is structured to include further bonuses for appearances, new
    contracts, potential international appearances and a bumper sell-on
    clause from any future transfer fee.



    Head of football development Christie said: “This is one of the
    highest deals ever for a 15-year-old from a League Two club. But George
    is the best I’ve seen in his position at his age. He could
    become another Wayne Rooney or Paul Gascoigne."

    Here's hoping!

    To quote the article..

    Why are you so anti-Everton?
    This is a great deal if we can get him and he is even half what they are saying there.

    As posted before. Everton are the club that top talent wants to sign for to get premier league first team experience.

    Given our stadium position, its a pretty good business model... even if it doesn't create a unavoidable habit of selling off the fans favourite every few years.

    Rodwell, Coleman, Fellaini are young regulars.
    Vellios and Barkley are starting to break through.
    Gueye is perhaps not good enough, we will see, if he is, Moyes will play him.
    Anichebe as well.
    Our youth policy is damn impressive and we are spending 2 mil on one of the best for the next round of young'uns if the rumours are true.
