An Everton Under-19s squad will take part in the 2016 Dallas Cup in March.

The Blues’ Academy have been invited to the prestigious youth tournament for a fourth time, having reached the semi-finals in 2015 and 2012.

With the Under-18s vying for the Premier League title in the end of season group phase, a group of teenage Toffees will also head Stateside to compete against the likes of Hoffenheim, Tigres, Real Salt Lake, the United States Under-20s and hosts FC Dallas.

Fellow English sides Middlesbrough and Fulham will also cross the Atlantic for the tournament taking place between 20-27 March.

I'm pretty sure that's my spring break week. Me and my friends have been looking for somewhere to travel for a few days...

Just arrived

yea i think you got yours the day after me

and that pic is supposed to be at another angle. goddam tinypic.

I like the collar this year better than the one from last year

If I recall correctly they will be about 70% off after the season is over. You run the risk of them being sold out though.

I hope they bring the Black kit back.

I don't mind the white collar. But I don't like the away sleeves and the green alternates are awful. I'd like to see us go back to black for the 3rd kit next year as well.

Takeover rumors are starting to get crazy

Everton will announce they have been sold in a £200million takeover in the next few days.
But sources on Merseyside would not confirm the buyer and would only insist it is not the American consortium linked with the club at the end of last year. It is believed the new owners are a mystery group from the Middle East.
Insiders at Everton told this newspaper that it was at too sensitive a stage to even discuss the name of the buyer but an announcement is imminent – and possibly before Tuesday’s away game at Aston Villa in the Barclays Premier League.

Also saw rumors of a Russian takeover and a Chinese takeover but neither had much substance

BREAKING: The Club is to have a new major shareholder in Farhad Moshiri who brings the promise of new investment. More to follow. #EFC

And there it is

ETA:

Seems to be optimism among Everton fans right now. He was a minority shareholder in Arsenal so he as experience with a good club. More importantly he has been working with Kentwright for 18 months, so I'm sure Kentrwright has to trust him at this point to allow him to takeover.

I hadn't heard of the guy before today though so I'm waiting on more reaction to see how everyone feels. Apparently the board decided that the two Americans who were close to buying the team a few weeks back weren't a good fit.
