Louis Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 http://www.newsofthe...n+%28Everton%29 EVERTON are trying to snatch young star Adam Pepper from bitter rivals Liverpool. The 18-year-old central midfielder was the most highly-sought schoolboy on Merseyside when he opted to join the Anfield Academy. But his opportunities have been limited since the restructuring of the club's youth system over last summer. Now Goodison staff are hoping to lure the teenager across Stanley Park, with the promise of making a breakthrough under manager David Moyes. The Toffees boss will be able to offer the teenager the prospect of a quicker route into the first-team and exact revenge on the red half of Merseyside after he was initially lured from Everton as a schoolboy.

Louis Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Maybe this has something to do with it? http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/top-football-clubs-in-battle-to-sign-11yearold-prodigy-541856.html Adam's father, Ronnie, 41, a community sports worker, who was once a schoolboy player for Everton, said: "I've stopped taking Adam to games now because I just get pestered by agents and club officials all the time; they talk through the match. I want him to wait until he is old enough to cope with the knocks as well as the luxuries that football brings." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
