Jake Bidwell

[Davee]

Under 19 England defender no less! Until Jan 8

From The Everton site:

Jake was handed a first team debut in the Europa League dead rubber against BATE Borisov in December 2009 and aged just 16 years and 271 days, he became the Blues' youngest ever player in Europe.

He captained the Under-18s side to national title success in May 2011 and continued to push for regular inclusion in the reserve team.

Sounds like a similar player to Blair Adams; welcome to the club Jake.

 

[nick logan]

Having done a little research , i am very happy with this.

 

[GP200]

...........welcome aboard..........

You're always happy.

 

[wayfarer172]

You're always happy.

Awww., bless his little cotton socks. Nick Logan that is.

 

[Kettering Bee]

Striker?

 

[Brentford 4 Life]

Welcome Jake.

 

[barry]

Striker?

where ? tories out ! rofl

 

[kevalutonbee]

Welcome aboard Jake.


Looks like the Mail source was slightly wrong but I guess this deal dove tails with Sammy Wood as this deal seems to end when Sammy is due back.


Bet we have never had two Jakes in the 1st team squad at the same time

 

[moribee]

Strikers ????

 

[Orp_Bee]

for a second i actually thought the headline said Jack Rodwell which would have been a resonable signing...

 

[nick logan]

Strikers ????

* does Lineker keep an eye on him thing *

 

[Newbury Bee 09]

Welcome to Brentford Jake

Jack Rodwell was a team mate of Harry Forrester (England) .... .. FACT

 

[wibs]

* does Lineker keep an eye on him thing *

have a word with him

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Strikers ????

Apparently, they're really, really, really difficult to sign, I dunno why, temperamental or something, so we're signing just defenders, lots of them, can't get enough. There'll be more in January, defenders that is. You'll see now, Sheff Wed, Sheff Utd, Huddersfield, Preston, all these sides that have been signing strikers, they're going to have big, big problems, unlike us, 'cos we're clever, see, we just sign defenders.

 

[ladbroke]

Yeh but all these big sides you mention have big budgets too..

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Sounds cracking. Moyes doing his best to make up for his sour grapes when we beat them. Welcome to the club Jake.

Probably Moyes just sending him to pick up any empties.
It's a Liverpool thing.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

We are likely to be without a RB this weekend, Logan may make a big recovery but who knows, I find it interesting that Uwe sees the left as more of a problem than a filler on the right.

 

[Bill Benn]

We should see the answer to that at 3 oclock tomorrow if Logan plays.

was in full training yesterday so if he can train he can play

I'd start with him and see how he goes, if he can last 60-70 minutes - then we can always have Harlee / Beano to fill in.

I hope he starts, it would nice to show them what they missed out on and with 2 goals to his name, he carries some sort of goal threat.

 

[sonofabee]

From a Toffee colleague in Liverpool "Jakey is a good little player, glad he's getting a chance of proper football with you Bees, let me know how he gets on"

 

[Les Beeavinu]

From a Toffee colleague in Liverpool "Jakey is a good little player, glad he's getting a chance of proper football with you Bees, let me know how he gets on"

From a Toffee at work "never heard of him - can you give me the change request number". Not sure the two items are related though.

That's all I need. Once again, Excellent signing Uwe.

 

[Pete's Brother]

We need a good left back, lets just hope we get him on loan and that if we do, he does a good job.

 

[GP200]

...........hello Petes brother.............do you know Daves sister???????........

 

[Bigbee]

We need a good left back, lets just hope we get him on loan and that if we do, he does a good job.

We do already have him on loan ?? Mr Johnston ???

 

[ladbroke]

Jake Bidwell is not available to play on Saturday, but I'd imagine he'd be ok for the match against Barnet.

Seems a bit bloody pointless - who else is he likely to play for in the FA Cup this season!

 

[Lee The Bee]

Everton?

 

[North London Bee]

Everton?

In his dreams i suspect. I know we only have him initially for 1 month but it would be doing him better to get some FA Cup experience as he would surely have been involved tomorrow

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

A little surprised that Everton have taken that line - you'd imagine they're a club that will take the FA Cup seriously (Europe out of the question and relegation very unlikely) so he won't be playing for them. But it isn't a major problem for us.

.... or is it not Everton's fault, but just a technical issue around registration?

 

[hanworthbee]

you never know everton might have 6 injuries at left back and maybe they cant play anyone else there as all the other defenders are also injured so he could br needed on the bench

 

[condorman]

Bovved. Let's just pay Woodman.

 

[Lee The Bee]

For a second I thought it was Michael Dobson when I first saw him, not just looks but the way he runs too. A good whole hearted home debut from the kid

 

[hanworthbee]

did well in the 2nd half after a shaky first half, great volleyed cross that Gary nearly got on the end of

 

[Nurse Betty]

Thought he was great. Hope we can extend the loan.

 

[SmiffyBee]

did well in the 2nd half after a shaky first half, great volleyed cross that Gary nearly got on the end of

Average 1st half, some dodgy distribution
Better 2nd half, in front of the New Road.
A prospect

No wonder Woodman was looking gloomy before the game !

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Looked mighty fine to me.

 

[Houghton Bee]

played very well, and very dobson-esque

 

[Ambrose_1889]

Uwe sounded impressed. Also described Woodman as a "7 out of 10 player".

 

[GP200]

...........like the fella............

 

[bennyb]

looked good yesterday got better as the game went on

 

[jlove]

Grew into the game and put in the best crosses of all the players; how did he get the ball across from the corner flag with all the defenders around him?

 

[wanderer paul]

...........like the fella............

:suspect:

Thought he did well. Not a marauding left back, but strong in the tackle and good in the air, can pass a bit too, just like Woodman really

 

[KGB]

I think both points are fair. Liked Bidwell although there were a couple of shanks in the 1st half for which Woodman would have been crucified.

Thought Bidwell was way ahead of Adams in the second half. He can defend, attack a bit & at 18yo looks a good prospect.

Uwe sounded impressed. Also described Woodman as a "7 out of 10 player".

 

[GP200]

..............another solid game from Dobbos twin brother.........
