Everton Rumours Mobile

20 Aug 2019 08:59:46
From what I saw last night, we are currently behind Man Utd and Wolves. Add into that Spurs, City, Liverpool and Arsenal, that leaves us once again fighting as best of the rest, including Chelsea and Leicester at the moment. Said before season start, that League progress would be finishing at best 7th. Long hard season ahead.

20 Aug 2019 09:40:49
Wow, that is some leap of doom you have made right there?

Just so I'm clear, on the basis of one game between 2 teams who are not Everton on the 2nd weekend of a football season. You now know it will be a long hard season? Really?

Are you ignoring the fact that most teams play better against better opposition, us included?

Or that judging 2 teams level based on a match between them with no other form to qualify the standard of said two teams is simply ridiculous?

20 Aug 2019 10:30:27
Are we behind them because they play prettier football?

20 Aug 2019 10:55:16
Can you quantify how you think we are behind Man U and wolves? Particularly as were level on points with Man U and 2 points ahead of wolves
Think you need to reassess either after 10 games or so or when we’ve actually played any of the so called top 6.

20 Aug 2019 12:57:29
That is just a plain daft no one can possibly know where we will end up, we have to give it at least till after the Chiistmas period to see ourselves and all the others before any sort of judgement can be made, incidentally because Chelsea are near the bottom of the league now does it mean they will finish outside the top Seven, I think not, let's chill out for a while.

20 Aug 2019 13:09:24
I will reassess of course GingerDan etc! . Our performance against Watford was not the best as some of those at the game will attest to particularly 2nd half. Plus's Moise is going to be some player for us, Mina (I am pleased) is proving me wrong. My opinion watching other Teans games is that currently we will do well to finish 7th. That is improvement and of course, I want us to hopefully finish in the top 6. Is that better. Your rose tinteds are steamed up.

20 Aug 2019 13:35:53
Well like I have said before it all comes down to winning games and scoring goals looking at our team can see us struggling dcl ain’t a prolific goal scorer Walcott again not doing enough so pressure on kean sigg of the boil Richarlison hope gets a few with all this I can see top 8.

20 Aug 2019 13:56:48
I just don't understand how you came to this conclusion. What exactly did you see last night that shows we are worse than Wolves and UTD?
Wolves have been vastly outplayed in large parts of both matches (Leics and UTD) . They do have some quality there and are capable of punishing a team out of nowhere, but on the whole they do not look like a team to fear.
Utd are looking decent enough and cannot be taken lightly, but also do not look like a team who can seriously challenge at the top. If a defense stay strong and eliminate counter attacks then Utd look like a team who will pick up a tonne of draws and not so many wins.
At this juncture, to think that we are so far behind those 2 teams either shows a deliberate attempt to slag off our club or a complete lack of reading a game.

20 Aug 2019 18:50:58
Totally agree Worcester mate, my Brother is a Woves supporter and he also said they were riding their luck for most of last nights game and only drew because of Pogba missing a penalty, absolute nonsense from Dfs.

20 Aug 2019 19:40:22
Guys. To be fair to DFS we are all making a few predictions- where we will finish etc and he has done just the same, albeit a lees optimistic one. I don’t agree with DFS but that’s just opinions. I think Wolves for all their endeavour last season will be different due to Thursday games.

United were superior but not unbeatable. And we have Goodison. Molinoux is no where near as intimidating.

20 Aug 2019 21:15:08
1 nil to the Arsenal, not pretty but we all know how boring and unattractive that football was, however you do not get bonus points for silky play so judging a team after two games is crazy.

I have seen Everton play some great football and come away with a draw.

We are unbeaten, will get better, but picking points up early doors is an added bonus.

20 Aug 2019 21:33:08
I agree Big Nev, under Martinez we would batter teams, then be left with a kick in the crown jewels (2-2 vs Arsenal, 3-4 vs Stoke) . 4 points, 2 clean sheets and all with virtually no minutes for our new signings, i think we have made a great start. also playing well isn't just about scoring goals, the boys have been great at the back.

20 Aug 2019 23:35:11
Ducksfly, not sure about the tinted glasses to Ginger, he is going off 2 games, no losses and no goals conceded, any team that is not firing on all cylinders yet come away undefeated is a big positive.

The only team in the premiership yet to concede a goal.

Add to that the new signings who are still getting up to speed which will only improve and make the team stronger still.

We all have a moan when we lose but for the time being enjoy the ride while it lasts.

I am with Ginger and a few more posters, along with Ed25 who can see the green shoots of recovery.

Knock Everton when they are down, but at least give them credit for the run in form, since-the turn of the year after the cup defeat.

21 Aug 2019 11:46:43
This was a ridiculous post ducks mate. Its one game. One game. I believe we will finish above Wolves.

21 Aug 2019 17:14:49
Couldn't agree more blue tit. Basing it on one game is ludicrous billscrocdiletears. Our new signings have barely played and some of our better players haven't been great so far but we have 4 points from 2 games. We, like most teams to be fair, will improve as the season goes on so to be making doom and gloom precictions at this stage is stupid.

22 Aug 2019 11:02:00
Ridiculous post we are not behind them, I have not seen anything from Utd to suggest they are any better, wolves are a very good team and had a great season but I think playing in Europe will have an effect on them at some point in the season, our major problem last season was what Marco picked upon that December to February was our most costly period in terms of pts picked up, the Liverpool defeat was damaging as we did not recover from that game even though the performance was good and it was ironic that the following fixture spurred us on to some great performance s and results. We need to convert more of our chances to win more games, we had joint 3rd most clean sheets with 14 and have 2 so far this season so defensively I think we are pretty solid.
I think top 4 is not going to happen but top 6 is a yes from me this season.

18 Aug 2019 19:09:55
Reports coming out that Digne may not be as badly injured as first thought, let's hope so this is one player we really need in the team.

18 Aug 2019 22:19:20
He went to the bench instead of down the tunnel didn't he?

15 Aug 2019 16:38:26
Interesting article being reported today regarding Zaha, it now says that Marco ever only put in one bid of £52 million that was in July and nothing afterwards, if this is true it sheds a whole new. light weather it is even worth watching Deadline Day so called latest shopping on Tranfers and updates, hmmm.

15 Aug 2019 16:56:27
Think the club have consistently said that.

15 Aug 2019 20:20:45
Yep mate so much for Sky eh.

16 Aug 2019 11:09:48
Sly are just Sly they do what every supporter does scoure the media for gossip. The diffence is they then peddle it as reliable source if they think its catchy enough to grab a viewers attention. I doubt very much they actually check any of the sources for validity first. Sky deadline day put a man out side a training ground and see if you can get any gossip to report as a breaking story. They are just a joke along with the majority of their pundits.

16 Aug 2019 11:13:17
Sky aren't as reliable as they make out. They push a lot ot nonsense for Sky Bet, remember when they said Lukaku was at West Brom's training ground about 18 seconds before he joined us on loan? . That Kaveh is the worst, he made up a Zaha story, the club came out and basically said it was a lie and he said his source was better than Everton themselves. Nonsense.

16 Aug 2019 12:17:41
Hey Swan mate good post good to hear from you again.

16 Aug 2019 13:23:56
Sky are getting worse they give out more false rumours as time goes and really only interested in the top four and Man U.

16 Aug 2019 14:43:28
If you have an hour long transfer program 3 times then odds are it’s going to be filled with guff.

16 Aug 2019 18:46:28
I think they only fill an hour and just repeat it three times.

20 Aug 2019 13:16:10
Various posts on here GB and others said about the Zaha reality at the time. Ed002 in particular mostly has finger on pulse. It's fun to speculate, until reality hits.

14 Aug 2019 17:23:15
Tosun advanced talks to Frankfurt but wages maybe an issue.

14 Aug 2019 18:05:30
What was the result of the medical at Finch Farm?

15 Aug 2019 17:42:13
We signed the invisible 30 goal a season striker 🤔😁.

15 Aug 2019 17:50:27
Yes,

Did the medical happen and, if so, who was it?

15 Aug 2019 19:56:39
New medical for Mirallas he's getting a new contract and it'll be big news 🤣.

15 Aug 2019 23:28:42
Like a new signing.

16 Aug 2019 03:45:59
You're frightening me!

16 Aug 2019 11:15:32
We've already got the invisible 30 goal striker Niasse, he quite often takes a shot with the invisible ball, well that's what it looks like to me anyway.

13 Aug 2019 16:58:23
Reports saying Niasse very close to a move.

13 Aug 2019 21:50:29
yes to Trabzonspor.

18 Aug 2019 03:38:54
He was close to a move. But missed.

12 Aug 2019 21:04:06
Medical at Finch Farm tomorrow.
( no idea who or what position but my guess would be a CB)

12 Aug 2019 21:24:39
It'll be the new tea lady Juicy Lucy.

13 Aug 2019 08:21:17
Riquelme.

{Ed0333's Note - he’s 41 way too good for you’re mob still cookie 🤣

13 Aug 2019 11:03:58
Kolodziejczak Left footed CB.

13 Aug 2019 15:07:37
so, just a bad rumour then?

14 Aug 2019 10:29:24
Barry?

11 Aug 2019 18:23:53
We will be moving for Zaha come Jan, if the reports are correct.

11 Aug 2019 19:16:21
Doubt that now. Though to be fair neither DCL or Bernard seems capable of scoring so who knows.

11 Aug 2019 19:51:11
I agree neither of them, it was in the media so who knows mate.

11 Aug 2019 21:19:18
Bernard has never been a prolific goalscorer he's more of a creater of goals as for dcl I do like him but there's only so long giving him opportunities and him not scoring. As for zaha crystal palace won't sell in January mid way through the season the only possible business we will do in January will be for centre back.

11 Aug 2019 21:45:35
How on earth do you know that.

12 Aug 2019 19:10:06
I just hope that Iwobi is that good that we don’t have to.

12 Aug 2019 20:35:12
I think he will be good mate.

13 Aug 2019 09:28:20
Was only talking yesterday to my mate siggy needs up his game if not I’d try Bernard as number 10 and iwobi on wing Richarlison on other wing drop dcl kean up front again as I’ve said dcl number 9 does not score no where enough goals I mean our main striker come on he’s over rated just saying.

14 Aug 2019 08:51:41
Guernsey I agree mate, siggy just doesn't Contribute enough for me, I know he scored the goals but he goes missing for the majority of the games sometimes.

10 Aug 2019 22:12:40
Bolasie could be on his way 3 clubs want him Celtic Besiktas and Rennes.

11 Aug 2019 19:17:13
We can only hope🙏.

09 Aug 2019 16:44:53
Well lads, i reckon that's our best transfer window since we signed Lineker.

09 Aug 2019 20:46:51
I agree, just have a feeling this might be Lewis Gibson's break through season.

10 Aug 2019 05:24:04
It might have to be. We are week at the back and can’t really take any injuries. Mina’s fitness was a problem last season, so I understand why people are concerned. If Gibson gets his chance he will need to take it.

10 Aug 2019 08:01:01
Excellent window lads.

11 Aug 2019 06:48:24
Lewis Gibson hasn't even been given a Squad number.

09 Aug 2019 09:26:42
We haven't given up on signing a CB Brands was ringing 'free agents' including one he has signed before.

09 Aug 2019 09:59:23
Such as? . Who has he signed before.

09 Aug 2019 10:33:50
Mangala is a free agent.

09 Aug 2019 10:33:51
Daniel Schwaab fits the bill.
Centre Back
Played under Brands with PSV
Aged 30
Former Germany Under 21 International
Free Agent.

09 Aug 2019 10:55:17
Fa said if we submit 25 players in squad they are unlikely to sanction amendments to squad after today. If we name 24 they will allow.

09 Aug 2019 11:25:31
Timothée Kolodziejczak, Mangala and Martin Caceras would all be decent on short term deals to cover our first choice pair.

09 Aug 2019 12:18:20
Mangala isn't a free agent lads, also would rathe play Gibson if needed ahead of any free agent that is around.

09 Aug 2019 12:56:01
Don’t forget, we can always resign Ashley “the saviour” Williams.

{Ed025's Note - out of all the williams i think of he would be the last on the list tron, i would have..kenneth, shirley, robin, hank and serena before him mate.. :)

09 Aug 2019 13:06:52
Serena wouldn’t be a bad shout Ed. I’ve seen the way she can hit a ball.

{Ed025's Note - and just like ashley....she has got an arse like a bombay money lender mate.. :)

09 Aug 2019 13:30:38
Very true and always useful when getting between the man and the ball. I’m sure she can use it more effectively than Ashley.

09 Aug 2019 18:25:52
Should have gone for Cahill he's knows the league.

09 Aug 2019 20:09:06
I'd rather we sign the right centre back, Mangala and Cahill are poor options with big wages.

09 Aug 2019 20:09:39
After a season in the stands, Cahill wanted guaranteed 1st team football. Gibson and Holgate have the chance to stake their claim, no bad thing, we’ll see if they’re good enough!

09 Aug 2019 22:42:46
Was pleased with silva today for criticising the club for not getting a centre back.

10 Aug 2019 01:51:27
Seen Gibson a few times, very composed on the ball, just a thought though, why if the same age as Mos Kean, is Gibson thought to be too young.

Before any say Kean has played so many games in the first team, then again if the same age, why not give the guy a chance, if we do not give the lad a chance then yes he will be nexperianced with lack of first team outings.

But personally, if we are weak for a centre half, I have total faith in Gibson to fill the gap.

12 Aug 2019 09:35:06
Center halves are normally introduced at a slightly older age than forwards. I guess its to do with the maturity thing and responsibility. Mistakes at the back being more costly than up front. John Stones was introduced at a very young age as a regular center half. Not many are playing as regularly as he did.
