Stanley Mills is moving back to Oxford United this month but this time it’s on a permanent basis after Everton agreed to sell the versatile player to the U’s.
Mills was on loan with Oxford last season when he suffered a serious knee injury that prematurely ended his spell there and forced him to return to Merseyside for his rehabilitation.
It had been expected that Mills, the son of former Leeds and Manchester City defender, Danny and a hugely promising Academy prospect, would be farmed out on another loan this month following his recent return to training but he is now set to leave Everton.
The fee that takes Mills south is undisclosed.

No!!! This is one we should not have let go. The boy has talent. Hope we have a buy back clause.

I think he is a very talented player, hopefully a sell on clause or buy back in deal.

Very strange. Possible Moyes dosn’t like his dad.

I’d love to know why, but for me he was in the top 2 players in that team until his injury.
Good luck Stanley in furthering your football career.

Very pleased for the lad. Good player at u21 level and needs games which he won’t get at Everton. Hope he does well.

Moyes very publicly embraced his Dad on the pitch after West Ham’s European success.
Really don’t think there’s an issue there tbh.

Watched him in the States in pre season a few seasons back, looked a very good prospect, raw and game as a badger, poor decision imo.

Very sorry to see him go. Thought he looked a good prospect as a wingback that could score goals and had a bit of pace and energy about him.

If we have a buy back clause or sell on fee, then this makes more sense.

The deal makes no sense.
Destined to be a great player with time and investment in him.
This is what Everton should be doing is bringing through players like this.
All I can think of is the lad really enjoyed his time at Oxford and wants to go back.
Good luck to him.

Hopefully, this is not another Antonee Robinson type of sale, that will come back to haunt us in a season or two.

I assume the transfer fee is around the £20m mark? Or is it only the RS who get that for their reserve team players?
