Everton Rumours Mobile

Leeds have agreed a four year deal for Harry Wilson.

24 Jun 2026 16:36:25
We will probably sign Gnonto then.

24 Jun 2026 17:13:18
We've been down this road before giving long contracts to players of a certain age. Would like to think we have learnt from that and can look to build a strong squad around players who can come into the team for the next three to five years.

24 Jun 2026 13:33:42
In talks with Bowen, would be happy to snap him up.

{Ed025's Note - he would be great GB, but im not holding my breath just yet mate..

24 Jun 2026 15:36:33
If we started the season with Garner and KDH dropped back to an 8, Grealish on the left, Bowen on the right, Harrison or a new number 10, and a new number 9, I’d be very happy. Chuck in a couple of new full backs and we’d have a good team. Too much to ask?

24 Jun 2026 16:55:03
Not even remotely, JB. Other clubs would do it without any stress.

Not sure I like KDH and Garner as a two, though. We need an out and out 6 for me, mate.

24 Jun 2026 12:43:27
Reading that George is going back to Chelsea, thought he was good when he played.

24 Jun 2026 13:44:56
Chelsea probably won't except our offer of £5m and some training cones.

24 Jun 2026 14:49:03
I liked the look of him too, GB. But, guess the thing is, Moyes is staying and George is young, so would it just be a waste of money? £20m out the budget for a player that will barely be given a look in!

24 Jun 2026 14:51:58
Pity the lad had a lot of potential and would have given us much needed pace.

24 Jun 2026 15:03:41
How come we aren't being paid £5m a year? This all seems so simple. Get a RB to play RB. Get some pace in the side, and buy players with a future sale profit.

24 Jun 2026 15:36:46
Thought he looked a very good player for his age.

24 Jun 2026 16:58:53
I am glad we aren't taking him tbh, lads.

Grealish was injured, freeing up both wings to play on, as he has covered both flanks many times for Chelsea, yet he still couldn't get in.

All well and good running at a tired fullback with 10 minutes to go, but when he started against teams, he was dreadful from what I watched.



That wrongen Jiminez for Bournemouth absolutely bullied him, and he is all of 5ft 6.

Whilst he may retain value due to age etc and get better, I think spunking 20 odd million on a player that won't even start is foolish, especially before we have spent on the areas that are actually in need of urgent attention.

23 Jun 2026 16:23:49
Anyone heard of anything happening with transfers, I really am surprised we haven't got a right back in by now, we've only been searching for one for 2 years, surely they know who they want.

23 Jun 2026 17:30:01
Perhaps they're just saving on wages. I mean why pay a player huge amounts of money when he's on holiday. 🤷‍♂️

23 Jun 2026 21:18:39
So he can integrate with new team members and be ready for opening games perhaps.

23 Jun 2026 22:29:32
But they're all on holiday!

24 Jun 2026 00:27:57
Don't try and use common sense to persuade posters, BMD.

24 Jun 2026 07:16:42
Well we've been using a centre back in that area for a full season, so I think we've saved enough money in wages by now. I think the point of the OP, as I read it, is that you'd think an area where we put square pegs into round holes would have been addressed in such a way that a player would have been lined up ready by the time the window opens.


Finding the right player is never easy, but when you have a pressing need, like we clearly have had since Coleman started to decline, I'd expect a result by now!

24 Jun 2026 07:37:13
Is the centre back playing for nothing? We also have a full back sitting on the bench. So the main reason we have square pegs in round holes is the manager. Now, plenty might not like Patterson, but he would not have done any worse than O'Brien, who clearly struggled in that position.
The same could be said for Aznou. Micky hasn't had the best of seasons, yet still the lad hasn't had a look in.


KDH has stated in the past that he prefers to play a deeper role, yet Alcaraz or Dibling (who Southampton fans will tell you it's his best position) don't get a look in.
If your face doesn't fit with this manager then he will continue with the squar pegs theme next season, regardless if we get a right back or not.

24 Jun 2026 13:28:58
Totally agree, AD, I have said on here before that once Patterson seemed fit towards the end of the season, why not bring him in as the only proper RB we have and move O'Brien into the middle instead of Keane or Tarkowski.

24 Jun 2026 14:26:56
AD, I'm with you on the Moyes debate. My point is, and of course they all get paid, that it's not a wages issue that no one has been signed yet, but yet again we seem to procrastinate to a dangerous degree when we put someone like O'Brien out on the right. We should have dealt with this issue long back when not one but three managers didn't fancy Patterson out there.

Could be because he was injured, I don't know? But it's an issue that's lasted a few seasons now and that's plenty of time to sort out any wages issue I'm guessing.

23 Jun 2026 10:49:41
Talk of Jay Stansfield from Brum. Could be a decent addition, good finisher, busy, could be a Jamie Vardy type without the baggage (wife) .

24 Jun 2026 07:39:44
He's a good finisher at that level, seen nothing to suggest he could handle playing as a lone striker against Premiership defenders. Because Moyes won't change his tactic to suit the player.

23 Jun 2026 08:42:41
Moyes as I have said before is morphing into Walter Smith, surrounding himself with old pros and not young talent as a safeguard he can trust older players but the young ones who can do something different get shunned or splinters in their arses with all the time spent on the bench. Time to part ways, I think.

23 Jun 2026 09:29:30
Who are the old pros he's surrounded himself with?

23 Jun 2026 14:08:10
Absolutely JB, who are these multitudes of old pros? We literally only have 2 'old pros' (Tarks and Keane) in the squad. 3 if Gueye signs an extension. Pretty everyone else is under 30.

23 Jun 2026 14:31:53
Average age of squad is 27. Replace Gana, Tarks, and Keane and it goes down to 13.

{Ed025's Note - love it Brass..

23 Jun 2026 14:47:14
Anything to have a go, and just not bloody true.

23 Jun 2026 17:24:02
Hahah, quality, Brass!

22 Jun 2026 20:52:44
Folarin Balogun. We are being linked with this guy, not really sure on this one. What say my fellow Evertonians?

22 Jun 2026 23:08:29
We have been linked previously tbf, before he made his move to Monaco and during, so it is not like we are reacting to his decent start to the WC.

Monaco would charge us ridiculous money for him though, and I think for what it would cost, we could get better options than him at a cheaper price.



I don't think it is the right move personally. He doesn't seem a Moyes type player either. I don't like saying that, because we shouldn't be buying players to suit him as he should already be gone but definitely will be by this time next year. However, just calling it as I see it.

23 Jun 2026 08:29:49
I remember him being in around the England U21s and that he had a good goal scoring season in his first year in France. Depending on the price, looks a solid option to me, and room to improve at only 23.

22 Jun 2026 15:09:20
Guela Doue RB from Strasbourg £40 million being quoted, over to you BlueNose any info on the lad?

22 Jun 2026 15:49:19
We were offered the chance to sign him for under £16m in January and Moyes said no.

22 Jun 2026 15:54:33
Didn't know that, mate. Is he any good, do you know?

{Ed025's Note - not as good as his brother GB.. :)

22 Jun 2026 16:27:18
He's very highly rated, only seen him a handful of times and been very impressed.

As Ed says, not as good as his brother lol.

22 Jun 2026 18:35:57
I put him in a list of RBs that we should target last summer, GB.

Others in that list were Sanchez, Omar El Hilali, Wesley, Jon Aramburu and Bellanova.

It depends what we are after really and what you would prioritise from attack or defence or would you want a happy medium between the two.

Personally Doue sits near the top of the list of the above for me but as Swan said, we could have got this lad a hell of a lot cheaper this time last year after a decent season with Rennes and then Strasbourg.



I think 40m is a hell of a lot to pay for a RB mate and although we have a better war chest this summer, blasting 40m of it on a RB is questionable for me, especially when the likes of Sanchez are available for around 10m.

22 Jun 2026 19:10:44
Cheers Bn, mate, excellent info as always.

22 Jun 2026 23:05:11
Always welcome GB.

I would take Alec Cleland back at this rate, mate.

23 Jun 2026 10:06:40
So would Moyes.

22 Jun 2026 14:42:26
If Illien if determined to push for a move to unt, then we take Rashford and a big lump of cash.
I don't want him to leave, but I don't want someone who is not committed to the cause, I don't think his fall off towards the end of last season, was an attempt to force the issue, at least I hope not.

22 Jun 2026 15:38:52
Once again, it's only paper talk about him wanting a move, he was poor after Afcom. If he does want a move then we need to get the best price possible, mate.

22 Jun 2026 15:42:45
Believable that he'd want to leave to play CL football, and he certainly fits the profile of a player that the top Prem teams would be interested in. We hold the cards, he's under contract, and will only leave for big big money.

22 Jun 2026 15:55:57
True, mate, but an unhappy player usually gets his way.

22 Jun 2026 18:32:53
Hard to believe he wanted European football given the way he played the last half a dozen games.

22 Jun 2026 19:11:31
He was poor, Brass, that's for sure, mate.

23 Jun 2026 11:40:56
Wheels fell off most of that Senegal squad after they got stripped of the title tbf. We'll see what happens, but don't think Manure will stump up the cash.

23 Jun 2026 23:25:14
That's a very good point, Yorkshire Blue. Tricky to imagine what the mindset was after the AFCON debacle.

21 Jun 2026 11:10:11
There is a saying, that says, (a fish rots from the head) . If our owners have a lack of ambition, then that filers down the hole club, manager, coaches, and players.
Yes, I am grateful their buy out probably saved us from relegation, administration, and perhaps even bankruptsy.
Wonderful, but they must be prepared to follow through, take the tough decisions, the first of which, has to be a manager with ambition, then the level of financial support must be put into players, not at the fag end of their career, or ones who might make it a few years time, but those who are able to hit the floor running, of course that does not come with guarantees of success, but anything less than that level of commitment, guarantees mid tables also also rans.
