Never say never, but sounds more of a goodbye than a see you later doesn't it.

Certainly does.

What about Alfie Beestin?

These go to eleven.

The last we have seen of Metcalfe then. He came on leaps and bounds later in the season but sadly for me didnt score enough goals but wish him well.

Well after getting his feet under the table with quite a few starts, he'd do well to have a good old think and look how it turned out for the likes of Berry and Markanday.
I'd say if he had an option to come back and progress with us, he'd be playing a fair few games.
Personally, if Everton are looking to stick him in a L1 club, I think it might be a bit to soon and his development might be hampered.
But I'm probably bias as I think he's been very good and will only get better - with the tuition of Cook and surroundings he's become used to.

He definitely improved after spending too much time out injured, but he rarely looked dominant. Not enough of a goal threat and rather predictable in his passing, we have to assemble a better engine room next time around.

Kind words for the club is one thing, but it's a short career, so I'm thinking, he'll go for the money of league one, if there's takers. I'd have Markanday back in an instance, but I think we'll get priced out of the market.

He's not played much regular football prior to joining us on loan where he got plenty, went to league one and as the season closed out he didnt feature a lot. I can see us being a good option for him in his eyes off the back of his loan move.

I think everyone would welcome him back mate, but I just feel that a club in league one will snap him up. I really hope you're right though, because the price of my season ticket will have been worth it too me, just to see Dilan back here permanently.
