Everton Rumours Mobile

Reading Doue too expensive, have now moved to Spence or White as RB targets.

07 Jul 2026 15:28:23
Wow, this new recruitment team know there are other countries right.

07 Jul 2026 09:18:35
Djed Spence RB from Spurs now being linked.

07 Jul 2026 11:42:30
Can cover both flanks, pace to burn, can improve technically, but only young. Would be another exciting prospect.

07 Jul 2026 11:42:29
I remember when Ed 002 was advising us to sign him when he was still at Middlesbrough.

07 Jul 2026 07:49:23
£34 million bid for Kofane being reported this morning.

07 Jul 2026 08:55:03
I swear to god, if we get Ben White for rb then Moyes needs to move on if that was his decision. We already have a centre half who can play rb if needed.

07 Jul 2026 09:00:37
Would not be my first choice either, although I would say he put good crosses in and scored a few for Arsenal from that position.

07 Jul 2026 10:20:21
Agree, in White there is actually a player capable as an RB (better than we have) and CB.

07 Jul 2026 11:35:26
Don't want a player who is ok at playing two positions. Want a player who is very good at playing one position. Just how many bloody utility players does a team need?

07 Jul 2026 13:30:32
Regardless of whether he is a CB or RB, he is one of the top 5 RB's in the league.

Timber, Kayode, James, Munoz, then you could argue it is White.

Might not be the marauding RB we want, but he improves us drastically in that position.

He also does that at CB, and if by him coming in, it means that one of Tarkowski or Keane don't play, then I am all for it personally.

07 Jul 2026 14:17:07
Ben White improves us at RB or CB. He is a very good RB.

07 Jul 2026 14:26:06
Ben White would be a massive improvement to us.

06 Jul 2026 22:07:43
Another ex-Everton manager is available.

06 Jul 2026 22:18:59
I actually liked him.

06 Jul 2026 23:57:12
Me too. Why did we get rid of him?

07 Jul 2026 06:26:47
His defence was bloody awful. We were great to watch going forward, but the defence let us down time after time, and he didn't seem to be able to sort it out. Moshiri rolling up didn't help either.

07 Jul 2026 10:20:59
Nor did flying banners.

07 Jul 2026 11:43:05
And the fans.

07 Jul 2026 12:21:59
Martinez was useless. The only reason he performed so well in his first season was because it was Moyes' team and the defensive instruction instilled in them. Once Martinez got his instructions across, we were terrible, if memory serves me correctly?

07 Jul 2026 12:37:32
We used to complain how we kept conceding from set pieces, but he would never practise them. Phenomenal, if I remember.

07 Jul 2026 13:39:28
You're right, Cookie, mate, it was never his fault, always phenomenal opposition, short memories I think, hmmm.

06 Jul 2026 19:12:07
Rico Lewis getting linked with us from several outlets, RB from City.

06 Jul 2026 19:51:26
Very good player quick and likes to get forward. He would do for me.

06 Jul 2026 16:15:38
George confirmed. Please can we now get a RB?

06 Jul 2026 15:55:54
Moyes for the Scottish job has had some discussion especially around the amount that he would be paid by the Scottish job verses what he is paid at Everton.
Not sure if this is relevant to be honest, if the Everton hierarchy for example are on the fence regarding Moyes and have a suitable replacement lined up they could offer a compensation package for the one year left on Moyes' contract.

Could be a win-win for the club and Moyes.
Would like Lee Carsley myself, but so GB does not have a heart attack, probably will not happen.

06 Jul 2026 16:11:47
All depends who they have lined up, Mike..

Ancelotti?
Fabregas?
The two BN mentioned?
Martinez?
Pep?

I don't know how far up the agenda changing the manager is. I think we will have Moyes for 12 months at least unless it's a disastrous first 4 months. If he has a good season, they will likely offer him another few years.

06 Jul 2026 16:36:15
Stick to my guns. DM signs a few players this window, if it doesn't work out he will be gone by Christmas anyway. Just think he's earned that, only my opinion, lads, we get someone else in, then I will back him.

{Ed025's Note - if that does happen GB it will just have been a waste of a season for me mate, but everyone to their own mate..

06 Jul 2026 18:00:18
It's a matter of opinion, GB, if Moyes deserves it. Most of us want Moyes to succeed, but the disastrous ending of the season was not only the players' fault, but due to Moyes refusing to use fringe players, sticking to tactics which repeatedly did not work and bringing on substitutes too late to affect the result. By the way, the football is boring!
If he stays, then he has to improve.

New players will help, but only if he uses them in their best positions and improves his tactics.
The players we have signed so far are young, not what I would have expected if Moyes was recruiting. I believe someone else is pulling the strings. We will find out when we recruit the very needed right-back and striker.

06 Jul 2026 18:44:43
If Moyes was to leave for the Scotland job, the managers I'd be looking at to take Everton forward would be names with genuine top level pedigree.
People like Luciano Spalletti at Juventus, whose tactical control and 4-3-3 structure would instantly modernise the club, Francesco Farioli at Porto, one of Europe's brightest young coaches with a fearless positional play identity, Sebastian Hoeness at Stuttgart, who's already proven he can build a Champions League level side with aggressive full backs and attractive football and Paulo Fonseca at Lyon, a manager whose fluid, attacking style would excite fans from day one, and Albert Riera at Eintracht Frankfurt, a rising tactician whose aggressive, modern style fits perfectly with the direction Everton should be heading.


I'd also be very optimistic and include Julian Nagelsmann, now free after leaving Germany, because his hyper modern tactical approach is exactly the kind of identity shift our club needs, Alvaro Arbeloa, fresh out of Madrid and carrying elite pedigree with a modern, high tempo philosophy and Kieran McKenna, who left Ipswich after proving he can deliver beautiful, structured football at Premier League level.
These are the calibre of managers who could genuinely elevate the club rather than just steady it and if Moyes did go then this is the level of ambition Everton and TFG should be showing.

06 Jul 2026 19:52:41
Great info, Optimum Shots, many thanks.

06 Jul 2026 19:54:33
I still like Roberto Martinez. Guy just needs a good defensive coach.

{Ed025's Note - i like him as well BMD, we were great to watch but defensively we were a shambles..

06 Jul 2026 22:58:01
Martinez had his best season with Moyes' team. Next season ruined it. Appointed Belgium manager and underachieved with possibly a generational group of players that should have won something but he ruined it, and now with one of the most talented group of Portuguese players has failed yet again. When will people realise he's s****

07 Jul 2026 02:11:00
Yes, but it's exciting s****, much better than boring s****. I think that we did well in the cup runs in his final year, which would be nice to emulate this coming season rather than the normal dismal performance in recent seasons.

07 Jul 2026 06:29:32
Well said, Mike. 👏👏👏

07 Jul 2026 12:27:56
Wow, I cannot believe people are suggesting replacing Moyes with Martinez! Might be the stupidest thing I have ever heard! Is everyone still really that bitter about him taking the Man Utd job? If he hadn't taken that, everyone would have questioned his ambition and if top level or not.

I would suggest looking at West Ham and what happens when lesser teams go chasing nice football without a proper plan. I agree Bournemouth and Brighton have done it, but they had a plan and identity and make decisions in line with that. We are scatter gun, which is why we are always in this situation!

06 Jul 2026 14:42:03
Guys never mind Cristian Kofane you just Moyes will pursue Liam Delap. 😭

06 Jul 2026 11:47:06
Cristian Kofane striker latest to be linked.

06 Jul 2026 12:25:18
How much they saying, GB.

This is the signing we should have made before Barry, mate.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was 10/15m more expensive either.

06 Jul 2026 12:25:37
We're going to have a squad of 50 players at this rate. Don't know anything about the lad.

06 Jul 2026 12:56:01
Would certainly be an upgrade on what we have. He's not yet 20 and combines the strengths of both the strikers we have. (I use the word strengths in relation to Barry very loosely) . He is also fairly quick and good with both feet.
He's certainly one worth pursuing, but I fear that Leverkusen might price us out of any deal.

06 Jul 2026 13:13:33
Agree, BN. Should've been on the short list last year along with Dju.

06 Jul 2026 14:34:15
He would be a real coup mate.

One of the only strikers we have been linked with this window that fills me with a bit of excitement tbh.

06 Jul 2026 15:48:16
£86 million being talked about that's a lot of cash, BN mate.

06 Jul 2026 16:06:10
Always makes me laugh when they say Everton linked to a player, then at the end, the price is 89 million. 🤣🤣 Not sure we are in the market for these types of players just yet.
I think we will end up with Delap, he may say he doesn't want to leave, but he doesn't have a future at Chelsea and, by what the papers have been saying, Moyes likes the lad, also thinking outside the box on the right back spot.

Do you think we maybe waiting to see if we can get the City lad Rico on loan, we've had Grealish and he's loved it here, I'm sure if there was a possibility of us being interested he may have spoken to Grealish about what it's like playing for Everton, just a thought seeing we don't seem to be making much head way in a vital area once again.

06 Jul 2026 16:29:04
I am with you, BP, on lack of progress still in RB position. I thought we had made an offer for Bellanova, but it has gone quiet, if indeed we had even made an offer or just paper talk.

06 Jul 2026 18:27:42
I think that is just the stupid price that some of these European journos come up with.

He is 19 and hasn't shown anywhere near the type of record to warrant that price.

I think it will be between 38 and 45 million myself if he were to go.

06 Jul 2026 18:55:01
Agree BN, a formal bid has gone in apparently, mate.

06 Jul 2026 22:44:15
Cheers for the info, GB.

I think a formal bid went in for Bellanova the other day, but no noise on that.

Hopefully it is an official bid we make instead, and we move as fast as we did getting George in after Hackney. Then your post the other day about being our best window for a long time would be very accurate, mate.

05 Jul 2026 16:30:35
Christ Inao Oulai linked.

Had never heard of him before the WC but played well for Ivory Coast and his composure on the ball for a 20 year old was impressive.

Would be very happy if we were serious about this. The lad looks a proper player.

05 Jul 2026 16:47:07
Imagine him and Gabriel Jesus. God knows where we'd finish.

05 Jul 2026 17:08:33
In Heaven, I reckon, mate. 😂😂

05 Jul 2026 18:31:50
He seems a decent player, but I'm always sceptical of signing someone on the back of a few games. Can come back to bite you in the a** majority of the time.

05 Jul 2026 18:57:32
Class, Dev!

You aren't wrong, Dentie - Diao and Diouf come to mind.

This lad does look mustard though tbf.

06 Jul 2026 00:32:20
A match made in heaven I reckon! ;-)
