Leeds release a statement saying that Gnonto is not for sale and is basically refusing to play. Matter is now an internal disciplinary matter.
1.) 11 Aug 2023 22:40:43
Kane wasn’t for sale. Be interesting to see how this one pans out.
2.) 12 Aug 2023 02:47:01
Almost impossible to keep a player who wants out especially when they refuse to play. If he does stay can you imagine the reception he will get from the Leeds fans! Still I can't agree with the position he is taking and refusing to play.
3.) 12 Aug 2023 06:50:09
Worries me that we’re looking at a player who’s not willing to work for his wages.
4.) 12 Aug 2023 10:07:39
It's all part of a pantomime played out a 1000 times. The only facts are that Leeds got relegated and need to clear out some players but want to hold firm for the highest price. This player reportedly has interest from Us Juve and a number of others. They will wait for the biggest pay day. It's really not something for anyone to fall for and character assassinate the player for. The press whip up the sheeple again.
5.) 12 Aug 2023 10:10:38
I think the problem Toffee ace is that he wants to keep playing for his country. Mancini won't pick players who aren't in top flight. So it affectively rules him out the Euros next year. Leeds know this yet are sti wanting to keep him. In fairness if I was Leeds I'd sell for 20mill, put sell on clause in and then sign replacement. Plus they have Harrison and Summerville still.
6.) 12 Aug 2023 10:48:17
I think between all the comments, the nail has been hit on the head. Leeds want maximum for him, ostensibly digging their heels in and willing to keep an unhappy player at the club - all part of the circus.
Likewise, questionable character of a player who downs tools. Do we want someone like that?
7.) 12 Aug 2023 12:01:19
I think he has a case for wanting out if he misses international selection
Wherever he wants to go I feel the thing to do is Leeds set a fair value to let him go or maybe allow him a loan ??♂️
If he was downing tools for a bigger pay day I wouldn’t be impressed, when it’s so he can be in the frame for international call up then I would let that slide
Plus…. he’s going to put a shift in to get that recognition to stay in Mancini’s thoughts.
8.) 12 Aug 2023 12:39:25
Yeah, Southern and Dentie’ both good points.
9.) 12 Aug 2023 13:45:18
I wouldn't pay him from moment he downed tools. Want the money, do the work.
10.) 12 Aug 2023 14:00:58
That's what it looks like Leeds are doing, dfs. He is being disciplined internally according to some reports.
26 Jul 2023 17:27:39
Warrington to Plymouth on loan?
{Ed025's Note - that has always looked on the cards pierre..
1.) 26 Jul 2023 18:03:27
Thought he may have had a chance to play this year Ed.
{Ed025's Note - i think hes maybe one for the future pierre and thats why its a loan rather than a sale mate, playing regularly will only help his development and it seems a logical at this stage to me..
2.) 26 Jul 2023 18:52:08
A decent loan that too! Championship football with Plymouth will be a real test, their style should suit him too.
3.) 26 Jul 2023 19:43:31
Impressed with the lad, first time seen him.
4.) 26 Jul 2023 20:10:28
Yh think I said about this month back, he will do well at Plymouth. How long does he have on his contract as thought he was in last year of contract? Year loan bit odd in those circumstances?
5.) 26 Jul 2023 21:31:45
Last year but with a option for a further year according to Alan myers, which is all well and good but only if he owns another deal next year.
6.) 27 Jul 2023 09:11:42
Think a while back a blue posted there was a top talent at Plymouth we should be after. If so and we are interested let’s hope Warrington deal promotes good relations with Plymouth.
7.) 27 Jul 2023 10:44:50
As I'm a cornish men and Plymouth is the closest team to us down here, obviously as its kid of our local team it will be nice to see an Everton youngster turn out for Plymouth, going to be a tough season staying in the league but hopefully he can come threw the season with flying colours .
20 Jul 2023 11:11:40
Brian Brobbey, forward for Ajax, the latest name I’ve seen bandied. Is this serious interest so you know Ed’s? Knowing is, we’ll end up with Brian Badonde.
{Ed002's Note - It won't go anywahere - the player has far more attractive options.}
1.) 20 Jul 2023 11:53:06
More likely to get Brad Bobley.
2.) 20 Jul 2023 12:13:25
Or mr blobby.
3.) 20 Jul 2023 12:58:12
Presumably his nickname is ‘Daylight’.
{Ed025's Note - love it swinners..
4.) 20 Jul 2023 16:43:55
? ? ?.
5.) 20 Jul 2023 20:00:15
Brilliant Swinners!
18 Jun 2023 18:56:15
Jack Harrison, from Leeds l, the latest name I’ve seen linked. Decent player from what I remember of him. Upgrade of Gray I’d say. Decent rumour Ed’s or paper tosh?
1.) 18 Jun 2023 20:44:52
I think he’d be a good signing. The key thing is, we need to be frugal in our spending (so price would be key) and look for upgrades. He’s definitely an upgrade on what we have. Five goals, eight assists and 26 years old.
{Ed014's Note - they’re always slagging him off on the Leeds page
2.) 18 Jun 2023 21:24:00
Don't know you know Ed, seems that a lot don't want to lose him. fans are very fickle though mate.
{Ed002's Note - Jack Harrison (W) Leeds will sell at the right price. An option to replace Coutinho at Aston Villa. West Ham will only be interested if they lose Benrhama. With Demarai Gray being available he could potentially be of interest to Everton. Leicester fear losing Harvey Barnes and will look to Harrison.}
3.) 18 Jun 2023 21:39:48
Quite surprising, his output was decent in a poor team.
4.) 18 Jun 2023 21:46:48
We slag all our players off too!
5.) 18 Jun 2023 22:30:51
Most our players are not Premiership quality Swinners.
Unless he plays up front, I’m not interested. We need strikers - imagine having someone who can stick it in the net. Maybe we wouldn’t be in as much a mess.
6.) 19 Jun 2023 07:23:41
Agreed BW too many below average players in our team not surprising we are not happy.
7.) 19 Jun 2023 08:09:57
Like the lad a lot. Always looked like a grafter too when I have watched him. He would be our best wide player if he was signed. Can't see him being any less than 15/ 20 million though.
8.) 19 Jun 2023 08:41:51
Jack Harrison is a predominately left winger why would Dyche go for a left winger to replace Gray, when he has McNeil as his first choice. If Gray does go I would expect the money would go towards a player in a position that we actually need. I would also think that their transfer fees would be very similar if not greater than Gray's as well as wages so it just doesn't make sense to me.
9.) 19 Jun 2023 11:23:35
Much better than what we already have.
10.) 19 Jun 2023 11:35:49
SA I read he can play across the front and even CM and wing back. Seems the players we are linked with (other than the out and out strikers listed) all seem to be what once were called "utility players" guess it's the only thing in the rumours that makes sense considering our finances and recruiting needs. If we can get 3 players in who can cover double the positions? I'm not a fan of utility players, I'd much rather players who know a position inside out but it makes some sense if any of this is true of course.
11.) 19 Jun 2023 11:45:58
The subuteo set in the loft is better than some of ours.
12.) 19 Jun 2023 11:53:33
Think it's a relegation release clause of 16m but we can only afford that if we sell one of the rumoured big money ones. I like him but would prefer a decent striker first.
13.) 19 Jun 2023 12:05:36
FBS If he was a predominately a right sided player I think it would be a good shout I just can't see Dyche going for him, with McNeil already at the club. I think Dyche may think its much of a gamble playing Harrison out of his normal position on the right. I think he will go for a right sided player as his first option.
04 Jun 2023 17:20:29
Wout Weghorst the latest name to be linked. Can't say I know too much about him.
1.) 04 Jun 2023 18:52:39
Big lump, poor touch, slow, better off in the scrum rather than on a football pitch.
2.) 04 Jun 2023 20:45:43
Perfect then also hasn't scored in a CL team as CF swinners.
3.) 04 Jun 2023 21:07:03
Hopefully just lazy journalism with the Sean dyche Burnley link - can’t imagine dyche would want him back after he only scored 2 goals in 20 games for Burnley.
4.) 05 Jun 2023 07:43:02
Big lump and DCL (if he can get his head right) , would be good. A good RW (B) and sorted.
5.) 05 Jun 2023 10:24:31
Thought Dyche wanted to play fast fluent football? Ships turn on the Mersey quicker than this bloke.
6.) 06 Jun 2023 19:44:24
We need to forget dcl he can't be relied on.
7.) 07 Jun 2023 00:13:35
Totally agree Bluetallaght. People still talking about DCL are probably the same ones still talking about Rooney going to United. Stuck in the past. DCL was only ever a hot streak striker but his injuries have cost us dearly given we’ve relied on him for 2-3 years. Need to get him off the wage bill but nobody would take him with his recent record. Another Sturridge.
8.) 09 Jun 2023 13:01:13
He has a great energy and has the physical presence that we need if he can play for United then he can surely walk into our team.

Better today. Didn’t move mountains, but better.
Beto really good I thought and will get better.
1.) 02 Sep 2023 18:25:16
Agree with that Pierre.
Could have done with all 3 points. Ref didn’t give us much.
Let’s get some more points on the board and see where we are in October.
2.) 02 Sep 2023 20:17:12
I always like to go in 8 game blocks and I've promised myself I'm sticking to that again. Let's see where we are 8 games in.
We've looked better than last season in 3 of the 5 games. Lots of players to come back or get up to speed.
I think the defence although not amazing will be better once their fitness is up.
The whole team looked done after 60 minutes so maybe Dyche has over done pre season.
3.) 03 Sep 2023 00:16:45
Beto is the lump we needed. Still convinced he needs a two but Dyche will know best.
4.) 03 Sep 2023 07:58:54
Agree with the above, especially on players to come back. Kind of glad we didn't sign gnonto I'm really not sure I rate him. Harrison though I do like and he could be the creative player we are missing. Would have liked the lad that went to Bournemouth but you can keep gnonto and the rest!
Although we aren't great beto looks an outstanding signing.
I think we are better than the following but time will tell
Burnley
Luton
Sheffield utd
Wolves
Bournemouth
Forest
We will see.
5.) 03 Sep 2023 10:03:32
Just a shame we lost to Wolves at home. Should have sorted Beto in July.
12 Aug 2023 16:47:38
It’s going to be a long, hard season.
One game in and nothing has changed at all. Same rubbish dished up, same faces dishing the rubbish up.
If I were Branthwaite, Dobbin and Cannon, I’d be handing transfer requests in on Monday morning after watching those utter frauds get in the team ahead of you.
1.) 12 Aug 2023 17:05:46
Totally agree, Maupay needs to go, a decent striker would have taken at least one of those chances first half. Need to hope when we get new players in the team they will make a difference.
2.) 12 Aug 2023 17:05:51
Agree Pierre mate.
3.) 12 Aug 2023 17:10:13
Same Pierre. If Cannon and Dobbin don't get picked over Maupay, they'll never get picked. Same with Jarred and Keane.
4.) 12 Aug 2023 17:14:36
Let’s get a striker signed then push on.
5.) 12 Aug 2023 17:19:04
Totally agree, same team aparts from young, same results., what did SD think was going to happen, if he Carrie's on picking this rubbish then it won't be long before he's on his way as well.
6.) 12 Aug 2023 17:35:17
We still have 17 less losses than last season don't start the panic just yet.
7.) 12 Aug 2023 18:18:38
It wasn't rubbish loads of chances created, none put away. I wonder if along with stamina and speed; they do reaction training.
8.) 12 Aug 2023 18:06:29
We've already moved into our comfort zone. Start as we aim to finish. We should look to win at least 50% of our home games and draw at least 30% in my opinion. Another nail biting season already. I don't know what's worse, the C.V. I have or, another season like last. I'm not calling for Dyche out, but he does not seem to learn and, how Maupay gets game time is beyond me. I agree with FatChris.
06 Aug 2023 11:45:55
I pressed send too soon then!
Just to say that SD’s record last season was 1.17 avg points per game. Repeat that this season and we’ll be 15th no problem. We are arguably in better shape this season given the time he’s had to implement his way of playing/ fitness etc. I say arguably because some will argue we are weaker - I disagree.
My prediction - 12th / 15th.
1.) 06 Aug 2023 12:33:02
Hope so mate. My concern is that we’re only a couple more injuries away from a big problem. Must recruit.
2.) 06 Aug 2023 13:10:06
And a possible points deduction JB.
06 Aug 2023 11:42:48
Right…. My prediction/ feeling for the season ahead.
It’s not going to be easy and there’ll be some twitchy bottom moments. Will we be relegated? No. I don’t think so anyway. Will we improve? Yes. Without a shadow of a doubt.
The positives ……
We will be difficult to beat and stiffer in midfield. Garner and Patterson were injured for large parts of last season and will be standouts for us I feel this year. Ashley Young will be the signing of the season in the PL. An astute addition to the squad which will make a huge difference. Branthwaite will be like a new signing and will be another standout this season. DCL has hopefully put his injury nightmare behind him with the treatment he’s had this summer in Germany. Steven Gerrard had a similar issue with his hamstrings when he was younger and went away somewhere for treatment that was a success and he went on to be a stalwart across the park. We are a different side with him in it, he’s a top quality striker. Yes we may struggle to score at times, but there’ll be a shed load of 1-0 wins and we will win more than we lose. Onana will grow into the player we all know he is and have a breakthrough season.
We’ll be fitter, stronger, harder to beat and have a better mentality. A siege mentality almost.
I’m not going into the negatives, there’s plenty on here will do that anyway, but the negatives are all ifs and buts in my humblest of opinions, and if ifs and buts were pots and pans, there’d be no need for tinkers.
1.) 06 Aug 2023 12:05:15
Had us pencilled in for in and around 13th. Do feel tho with abit of momentum, luck and players like you say Garner, Paterson, Onana deliver what we believe we can than perhaps breaking top 10 isn't the pipedream we believe, so critical we get a fully fit and firing DCL tho as he is so pivotal to us and without could be a long season unless this new lad from Sporting hits the ground running (if he ever signs! ) . Am also sat on fence on potential Maguire deal, yes I totally get those that say swerve as was leaning that way myself, but could Dyche getting something out of him especially given the way we set up, saying that wouldn't be throwing money at him as a transfer and rather a loan with Utd stumping up a lot of his wages, saying that won't be upset if doesn't happen as hope Braithwaite is given a starting spot and ultimately signs up a long term contract. Not long now chaps, let's hope we are celebrating 3pts come this time next week. Is what it is guys. Let's get behind Dyche and stick 2fingers upto the media doubters. UTFT COYB.
2.) 06 Aug 2023 14:44:16
With you there Mocker.
3.) 06 Aug 2023 15:11:42
I don’t want Maguire as he is on the decline and his confidence will be in the bin. He will see us as a step down from United but a decent CB should definitely be on the cards to give us that flexibility of changing formations.
03 Aug 2023 09:04:05
Has anyone seen Dobbin’s goal against Monza? A belter.
1.) 03 Aug 2023 10:04:44
Got hopes for that lad. Impressed with him in the two games seen him in, mind you I also thought Warrington was good.
2.) 03 Aug 2023 10:24:03
He took his goal well, nice turn and drive into the box to get his shot away. His assist for Maupay was also decent. Hopefully he gets chance in the league this season.
3.) 03 Aug 2023 10:32:46
At the very least he needs to be in our match day squad.
4.) 03 Aug 2023 11:15:27
He's played a lot pre season so I'd expect him to play a part this season. He's at least shown the ability to drive forwards into the box and shoot.
5.) 03 Aug 2023 11:18:47
I rate Warrington very highly DFS. Very surprised to see him loaned out this year if I'm honest. With you on Dobbin though mate.
6.) 03 Aug 2023 11:33:53
Cannot sign him on FPL….
7.) 03 Aug 2023 12:04:37
Maupay and Keane have played a lot of pre season and I hope to hell they don't play a minute of regular footy.
Where have you seen the highlights? Dobbin could be fourth choice of we get chemiti and Adams.
8.) 03 Aug 2023 12:49:40
warrington is nowhere near good enough. really don't know what games made you guys think that highly about him. physically not good lots of misplaced passes stupid fouls given away too often. and that's against league 2/ 1 sides so in the prem it would be even more evident. also were well stacked in midfield.
9.) 03 Aug 2023 14:03:24
We have a few midfielders agree, but none have the ability to run a game, and passing is average at best.
10.) 03 Aug 2023 19:17:41
That’s been the problem for years Woburn. Although watching that interview with Dele I do wonder if we’ll have that player in him now if what’s he’s said about where his head’s at now is right. With Onana and Gana sat deeper, Onana bringing the ball forward and Dele in front we could actually have a midfield for the first time in years.
22 Aug 2023 18:30:20
He has joined the first team squad for training and is back in the dressing room after talks with CEO and Farke. He’s going nowhere.
12 Aug 2023 10:48:17
I think between all the comments, the nail has been hit on the head. Leeds want maximum for him, ostensibly digging their heels in and willing to keep an unhappy player at the club - all part of the circus.
Likewise, questionable character of a player who downs tools. Do we want someone like that?
09 Aug 2023 12:54:18
Just read that GB
Loan with option to buy.
26 Jul 2023 18:03:27

20 Jul 2023 20:00:15
Brilliant Swinners!
01 Oct 2023 12:42:25
I don’t care whether you go or not and I’m certainly not telling you to stay away. Boo all you like, I could t give a toss what Woburn blue does of a Saturday.
My personal feeling towards booing at the match is one of embarrassment. I’m embarrassed for you and the other bovril drinkers. I cringe when I hear some of the shouts from Henry of Heswall and Colin from Crosby. A toxic fan base that are welcome to football and all that goes with it these days.
01 Oct 2023 09:11:41
Exactly what I’m taking about Woburn. It shouldn’t be about the money you pay, that’s irrelevant imo. I find booing embarrassing, personally. The moans and groans around Goodison have become the norm and I believe that it affects the team in a negative way.
Yes they are crap. Yes Dyche couldn’t organise fun in a brothel with a fiver hanging out of his ear, but I don’t believe booing will change that. Our fans have become a joke amongst other fans for the way we boo and create a toxic atmosphere. “Us people” are the same people who have stood on the terraces in the early 80’s in the pissing rain, when we couldn’t beat Coventry, when attendances were 13600 and the football was dire. Was there any boos then? No.
Modern football has created the cringeworthy modern football fan, and it’s not for me I’m afraid. Don’t like the football being served up for £50? Don’t go then.
30 Sep 2023 21:29:46
I think there’s a bit of both GB. Possibly the tactics and jobs these players were given hasn’t helped as well as the players not turning up again.
Have to say though, the boos at Goodison are not only embarrassing (to me) , but also a sad indictment of the fans that watch Everton these days. I’ll get flak for this, as I have in the past, but our fans inside Goodison don’t help sometimes with their moaning and booing.
18 Sep 2023 21:52:32
I know that is has been a mistake sacking so many managers, but you can’t help but feel that every time a new appointment has been made. It has been the wrong one. Sean – was never the right manager for Everton football club in my opinion. Just simply is not good enough to be at the helm in this day and age. he seems to me to be a one trick pony who relies on certain physical attributes of his side to carry out his tactics that seems slightly prehistoric to me. I honestly do not know who we would replace him with. Should he be sacked but I honestly only see him having three games to save his job. If we lose the next three he’s gone in my opinion.
08 Sep 2023 20:09:12
The regulator for English football will now not recommend sporting sanctions for clubs - ruling out points deductions for breaching regulations on finances and respecting the desires of fans, the government has outlined.
