Everton Rumours Mobile

03 Aug 2021 20:46:54
Looks like Moise could be staying.

04 Aug 2021 05:54:53
Hopefully he will have a decent attitude and understand it's because there isn't a buyer rather than us not letting him go.

Hopefully we have good cup runs and he gets chance to rotate.

I'm not holding my breath for either though.

04 Aug 2021 11:45:45
I don’t think this is the last we’ve heard of this one. PSG obviously want him and whether it’s a fee is pretty much down to them. We seem determined to sell but not to loan. I’d rather he is sold as he’s not exactly enamoured himself with the supporters in general. But he is a talent and if he does end up staying until the next window, we will see if Rafa can give him a chance to show the form that brought him here.

04 Aug 2021 11:40:17
I don't think its that simple . If Lakaku goes Chelsea there is strong chance inter come in fr moyse.

{Ed002's Note - No, that won't happen.}

04 Aug 2021 16:52:48
Is Moise or David Moyes they will come in for? 😂.

04 Aug 2021 21:10:49
We'll have to wait and see how the transfer merry go round ends up, as if Real Madrid find the money to fund a move for Mbappe, then PSG may well move for Moise.

04 Aug 2021 23:33:30
and if they can buy mbappe, they can't afford richy so status quo unless PSG offer real money for moise.

03 Aug 2021 18:52:10
Any shred of credibility in the Marcos Asensio to everton murmurs Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - Marco Asensio (RW/LW) Goals have dried up and his representative is workin with a third-party agent to find a club willing to pay something like €40M for the player. The third party has said that the player ideally wants a club in the Champions League but the discussions he has had have been with Leicester City and Leeds so far and admits knocking on the door of other PL clubs including Arsenal. Real Madrid may be open to using him in a part exchange deal of some type.}

03 Aug 2021 19:11:40
Thanks Ed, there was a quite a buzz about this player 2-3 years ago, 40 million is speculative surely, even disregarding the economic impact of C.V., he seems to have stagnated terribly.

{Ed002's Note - Correct.}

04 Aug 2021 21:11:39
He's just scored a belter for Spain though.

03 Aug 2021 12:27:16
Just curious. I wonder if any of eds have any insight or feelings even as to whether there will be any more incomings, regardless of outgoings. We all know a right back is needed, although godfrey did well there (and everywhere for that matter) when he first joined last season. Also, a striker is required especially IF kean is leaving. Are everton actively working on incoming transfers or are they awaiting outgoings first. sorry to ask but all the speculative journalism leaves me confused.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, Everton are looking to a RB and a Striker regardless.}

03 Aug 2021 14:17:08
Thanks ed. great to have clarity. Much appreciated.

03 Aug 2021 17:07:41
Would be a good window if Nunes leao and either djed spence, Dumfries or Dalit are added to the squad.

{Ed025's Note - wouldn,t it just eddy..

03 Aug 2021 18:22:45
We need a “marquee” signing of some sort just to give Rafa that extra bit of breathing space. I think any Everton fan would take a right back as a marquee signing as we have needed one for a good few years now. Coleman is fine but not for the full season anymore.

{Ed025's Note - you dont get many marquee right backs eddy, i would like to see a forward myself mate..

03 Aug 2021 18:30:49
Forget a marquee signing. Just signings of quality they don’t need to big names. Just improvements on what we have.

03 Aug 2021 18:38:16
Deffo Randa mate, we want players who give 110% every game.

04 Aug 2021 01:17:07
I would give 110% every game Guernsey but it would not be enough. We need young talented players with potential who will also give 110% every game. Come on Brands, work your magic and earn your big bucks.

03 Aug 2021 01:24:32
A few Portuguese journos reporting that the Nunes deal is all but done.

03 Aug 2021 09:28:36
Can he play at rightback 😂.

03 Aug 2021 13:02:13
Honesty mate he looks like he could do a job there 😂. Tbh I’m still hopeful we may get Dumfries. Marcel loves a game of cat and mouse doesn’t he. The fact he hasn’t went elsewhere is positive. Could just be holding out for a deal structure that suits us.

03 Aug 2021 14:03:19
Sir loin, I’ve just read on the Everton rumours now pages that Dumfries has stated he has a preference to go to Milan. To me that says Everton are not his first choice, unless trying it as a bargaining ploy for more money. If Everton are not his first choice best to forget and look elsewhere.

03 Aug 2021 14:29:37
Pretty sure that originated from an Italian news outlet Brian. Tbh it’s all speculation at the moment isn’t it. I hope we sign him but if not we better get a shift on with alternatives.

03 Aug 2021 15:10:35
Let Dumfries go to Milan, we need players with hunger and desire, players who want to play for the club or even want to get themselves noticed not players who just want a paycheque
Sign the youngster Djed Spence to alternate with Coleman and be blooded in.

03 Aug 2021 15:12:36
To be honest if his preference is to go elsewhere I hope he does. The horrendous ffp problem we find ourselves in has been largely driven by paying people huge amounts to convince them to come. What we end up with is people that are happy on large salaries and not particularly bothered about playing for Everton. I've been criticised on here for calling a lot of our signings mercenaries but also ridiculed (from the same quarter at times) for suggesting a player might leave to play football rather than stay because he's on huge wages - baffles me that it's seen as logical to argue against both those points because surely its one or the other 😂😂😂. In any case, I have confidence in Rafa when it comes to identifying the right characters for the football club and the right fits for how he wants to play. Whilst I accept that moyes signed some poor girl players I don't recall too many that he brought in that didn't play for the badge and I fancy that it will be more of the same from Rafa. The football might not be dazzling next season but I'm more than hopeful of a period of stability, balancing the books and getting us ready to go into the new stadium on a solid footing.

03 Aug 2021 15:51:45
😂😂👏👏 Whichever Ed added the girl into my "poor players" comment!

01 Aug 2021 11:11:44
Matheus Nunes being linked abain, be a upgrade on Gomes.

01 Aug 2021 13:25:49
Outstanding prospect . Be a great signing if comes off . i'm just surprised there usnt interest from other clubs now his name is out there.

30 Jul 2021 12:19:55
Dumfries deal looks like it will go ahead.

30 Jul 2021 14:14:44
Hope so but we are Everton so I won't hold my breath 😂.

30 Jul 2021 20:53:41
Dumfries would be a poor signing in my opinion, he would get found out really quickly in the Premier league, defensively naive and all his attributes are physical.

30 Jul 2021 21:54:29
Tony Hibbert did alright mate hahah.

30 Jul 2021 23:49:04
Tony was great, but not at scoring goals.

{Ed0666's Note - does a great bowl of frosties tho

30 Jul 2021 23:52:20
Personally, I'm not convinced he'd work in a back 4. But as a wing back in a 5, or 3 depending on how you view it, I think he'd be immense.

31 Jul 2021 07:32:15
Hope so reported backup options is Nathaniel Clyne!

31 Jul 2021 09:23:36
Ed0666 we need a night out mate. Too funny.

02 Aug 2021 13:43:43
Apparently we have pulled out of the race, as I said, we are Everton, don't hold your breath 😜.

02 Aug 2021 14:34:40
I can't help but feel if we were going to sign dumfries we would have by now. Ed has suggested he doesn't really want to come to us so he would just be waiting out for a bigger move. don't get me wrong, that isn't always the worst move but I'd love someone to come in who wants to make that their position for the next 5+.

30 Jul 2021 08:34:16
Being reported James and Delph are free to find new clubs if suitable offers are received.

30 Jul 2021 09:25:03
I would imagine James would easily find another club.

Delph 😂 absolutely no chance he’s leaving what team in their right mind would sign him?
He offers absolutely nothing appears to be continually injured.
unfortunately see us being stuck with him till his contract expires - probably the worst transfer we’ve ever made.

30 Jul 2021 10:39:11
They will both go mate, Delph to a lower league I would imagine.

30 Jul 2021 11:37:16
I like your optimism Guernsey but genuinely can’t see any lower league team willing to pick up anywhere near his reputed £100k per week wages.

30 Jul 2021 12:30:47
Fingers x mate that someone comes along for him lol.

30 Jul 2021 14:30:05
Surely can't be as bad a signing as Iwobi. His fitness isn't a problem, he just can't play football! I still hope that he was Silva's choice and not Brands. Can't see how we're going to get rid of him. We would obviously have to take a massive hit on him, but I still can't see any takers.

30 Jul 2021 15:05:56
I’m probably in the minority here but genuinely think Iwobi will do well for us this upcoming season.
He needs to be played in his favoured position in the middle of the park where he’s done well for Nigeria.
He’s not a winger and struggled when playing out wide.
Hoping Rafa will do this and reckon we will see a much improved player.

I’ll happily eat my words if I’m wrong though.

30 Jul 2021 16:25:42
I've been hoping that I've been wrong about Iwobi since the day it was rumoured we where signing him. Never rated him at Arsenal where he was given numerous opportunities, but really wanted him to prove me wrong, but it's never going to happen. We've just signed 2 players who are better than him for a combined fee of £1.6m. He recently played for Nigeria as number 10 and got absolutely slaughtered by their supporters and press. Again I would love to be proven wrong and will support every player who wears the shirt. I just hope that he's not going to be another high earner that we can't get rid of until his contract expires.

{Ed0666's Note - Iwobi is you’re Keita. Every club has them mate.

30 Jul 2021 16:45:56
Fair point Ed and I appreciate that every team has one, but we seem to have had more Turkeys than Bernard Mathews.

30 Jul 2021 20:48:31
Only reason we should be getting rid of James is if he wants to leave, why would we let our best player go.

31 Jul 2021 02:13:35
why in god's name is Iwobi not on our transfer list. He has done nothing. Maybe played in wrong position (not wing or wing back) but definately playing on the wrong team, league, or sport.

{Ed0666's Note - I very much believe Iwobi will see out his contract mate.

29 Jul 2021 13:35:51
Josip Brekalo, Croatian winger now being linked, apparently he’s put in a transfer request to Wolfsburg so he’s going somewhere it seems, is it likely to be us Ed?
Many thanks for answering all our endless questions regarding the continuing links to everyone.

{Ed002's Note - Josip Brekalo (LW) Lazio and Leeds have spoken with Wolfsburg who will be happy to sell. Everton have Iwobi and have just added Demarai Gray in the same position so it seems unlikely they would want him.}

29 Jul 2021 14:43:12
Hopefully we are selling IWobi though Ed. Please tell me that might happen.

{Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware of.}

29 Jul 2021 16:15:36
Ed, how much would we have to pay to "sell" Iwobi?

29 Jul 2021 20:31:00
I would expect Everton to at least make an offer having recently got rid of two of the LW we did have, leaving us at lest 4 short for the position. Can he also play as a 10 as we are definitely short in that area as well. If only Walsh was still at the club we could sit back and relax knowing that the positions would be covered.
