 Welcome to the Everton News Daily. James Tarkovsky has called on everyone at Everton to stick together as the Blues fight against the 10 point deduction that has put Everton into the relegation zone again. Everton lost 3-0 at home to Manchester United on Sunday, their first game after the 10 point deduction and Tarkovsky praised the fans and the players for their togetherness and believed that they have to do that as we move forward. They have to remain stuck together, battling our way, our trouble and if we do, then we can avoid another relegation fight this season. It was obviously Sunday, it was a difficult one wasn't it coming. You know, we've been in some good form and then having those 10 points taken off us has changed the feel around the place but we have got to just get back to getting the results we were getting. Remember that we're in decent form, we go to Forrest at the weekend, we've got a good away record, let's hope we can go there and get a big win and that one then would put Everton back into it and back in the mix and hopefully claw our way up the table and leave the other stuff to the legal team and hopefully they can come up with a good enough argument to get the points deduction certainly reduced from what we've got at the moment so let's stick together. Everton have agreed a deal with 16-year-old striker Braden Graham, the 16-year-old place for Linfield and also Northern Ireland under 17s. He's a very, very prolific striker. He became Linfield's youngest ever player when he came off the bench for them in March 8, just 15 years and 137 days. The striker will apparently sign as a scholar with Everton until he's 17 and then he will sign professional forms with the club. Obviously the emergence of players like Evan Ferguson, a young players in Ireland has got the focus back on Irish players. That's a good thing whether they are from Northern Ireland or Southern Ireland, I think Everton are trying to build up a base of young talented players again and hopefully we can develop them, get them into the first team because that is the way we want to go obviously. Everton are also on that theme, tracking Blackburn, Rovers midfield player Adam Walton. The 19-year-old has been in very impressive form, Everton have been tracking him and tried to do a deal with Blackburn in the summer transfer window, that didn't happen. Walton is in England under 20 international and he has made 39 appearances for Rovers, so another one of the Blues have got their eyes on him. Former Everton captain Phil Thiagielca has announced his retirement from professional football. Thiagielca captained Everton and played 385 times for the Blues, scoring 19 goals and 11 assists. He is age 41, he's done brilliantly to continue his career for so long. He didn't get a testimonial of Everton, that was a disappointing thing, but he did have some good memories of obviously playing for the Blues scoring, the winning goal in the FA Cup semi-final, shoot out over Manchester United. Also scored a tremendous strike at Amfield today and Everton a point in the last minute and there was many, many more occasions when Thiagielca was excellent. And the trophy TV being told that there are still tickets available to hear Phil Thiagielca and Jimmy Martin together in Jags and Jimmy's Blue Christmas event. It's taking place at St George's Hall on the 28th of December.
