Anyone else seen that text from Michael Oliver saying he wants us to go down because he is a Newcastle fan and hates Pickford.

17 May 2022 22:05:47
Yea, mate sent today, think its a hoax thou.

18 May 2022 06:02:11
Prob a hoax but does beg the question why put a geordie in charge of poss our biggest game knowing how much much the geordies for some strange reason hate us.

18 May 2022 10:06:56
Even the photo in a Newcastle shirt?

18 May 2022 11:27:02
He is prob a Newcastle fan glt59 but can't see him telling a complete stranger that even if he's thinking it as he has no idea who is filming him.

13 May 2022 17:42:29
Any of the Ed’s able to shed any light on our rumoured interest in Gavin Bazuna - goalkeeper?

With begovic signing a one year contract extension and Harry Tryer in the under 23s supposedly highly regarded if there is genuine interest in Bazuna would it be as a replacement for Pickford?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Gavin Bazuna (G) Southampton have enquired whether Manchester City would sell.}

12 May 2022 17:40:48
With speculation ramping up today that Lewin will be heading to Newcastle what are fellow fans views mine is anything over 50 mill snap their hands off also will Lewin see Newcastle as a step up as they are miles away from challenging top 6 and I feel we will sell Richy and a few others like Mina and Gomes and we will be quite active in the market.

12 May 2022 18:55:17
Well if he performs like he did last season 50M might be a fair price. However he has done nothing this year to suggest he his worth anything near that amount. I know that he has been injured but when he has played he has done very little to indicate that value. II would take the 50M if offered but II doubt any team would pay that amount for him, in which case he probably stays with us for next season.

12 May 2022 20:35:06
My only hope Bluemike is Newcastle are rich so straight away prices go up like they did for us and if they do want him we will drive a hard bargain.

12 May 2022 21:28:14
I think this season has been a total write off for him with injuries and then how team was set up.

Wouldn’t want to see him leave as he’s a decent player and when team set up to provide him with service he’ll get goals - last season prime example.

Would hate for him to go to Newcastle and then see him bang the goals in - they love a no9 and know how to set up a team to get the best out of one. Could easily see him banging 20+ goals for them a season.

Will all depend on money offered and how bad a financial situation we are in if we have to sell.

Replacing his goals from last season won’t be easy if he does go.

12 May 2022 23:23:23
Easy to replace the ones he’s scored this season though. If he’s keen to go, let him go. There’ll be more than one team interested so we should get decent money, which we need.

13 May 2022 06:13:01
For me, it depends on his injuries. If his niggles are in places that are more likely to reoccur and classify him as injury prone, I’d sell. £50m would be a decent amount - if it’s Newcastle, you could get more as we’ve been held ransom over players we want once the money arrived. If his injuries are genuine one-off injuries, I’d consider keeping him.

The question for me is who would you get in with the money? I’d look at CBs as our priority but then again, we’ll need someone up front if Richy goes as well.

It feels like a turbulent summer awaits….

13 May 2022 09:20:13
Looks like Frank will have to find a new team next season as according to the papers DCL to Newcastle plus Godfrey, Gordon and Richy to Suprs. So our main striker, best young prospect, our best outfield player and according to Frank our 1st choice CB will all need to be replaced. Its amazing what tripe the media put out when they can't fill the airwaves with plaudits for their two favourite teams.

13 May 2022 11:19:37
Can't see us selling Gordon Godfrey or any of the young players and that includes Holgate as Lampard seems to like him I can see us selling or trying to sell
Pickford (if a big offer comes in)
Mina
Keane
Gomes
Alan
Gbamin
Lewin (if a stupid bid comes in)
Richy (deserves to play at a higher level)
Our of contract (yearly wage)
Delph 4.1 mill saved
Sigs 5 2 mill saved
Tosun 3.2 mill saved

Either way that's a lot of wages saved over the last two years and if we sell a few it all helps towards FFP and I know we have a massive debt but that's to Moshiri so I'm not including that as while he is willing to carry that debt although unhealthy and unsustainable we shouldn't need to worry about that at the minute.

13 May 2022 11:46:25
Hard to judge him too harshly on an injury wrecked season. He was worth more than that last year but way less the rest of the time. Still don't want him to go but if he wants to.

Would be less disappointed than the last time we sold an injury-prone no9 to Newcastle. but Dunc did come back.

13 May 2022 14:24:07
Think you’re spot on there lampardstheman.

Keep Godfrey, Gordon, Holgate, branthwaite, mykolenko and sell the ones you’ve mentioned.

If Ricky, Pickford and DCL want to stay then great - if they want to go then ensure it’s a decent fee.

13 May 2022 15:35:51
Think some are being a bit harsh over how he has performed this year. He has had a few injuries to contend with and, in my opinion, he was rushed back too soon which only resulted in him being out for longer. He was top notch last season so I don't think we should be quick to move him on just yet.
That said, due to our precarious financial situation, I do think we are going to get rid of a lot of players this summer and begin a rebuild. its needed big time, some of this squad have flattered to deceive for too long and need moving on. We've got to hope that our recruitment has improved drastically from previous years under FM.

13 May 2022 15:48:41
Frankly anyone under contract who has the ability to raise a profit will be potentially for sale. If the offers come, everyone is available. Big summer window and the fact a load of players are out of contract this summer also helps. Rebuild needed. Build it around our 2 GS. Gordon and Godfrey and cash in the rest. If we can keep Pickford and Richarlson great but I think they'll be 1st out of the door and fair play to them if they decide to go. Been great for us.

14 May 2022 09:53:22
If they want to go then sell them. that's been our problem for years. Hanging on to mediocre players who underperform week in week out on massive wages. They are superstars without actually achieving anything. Rip it up and start again. Richarlison deserves to play at a higher level? Really? He disappeared for 3 quarters of the season! DCL an absolute 1 season wonder and now he wants to go to arsenal? Why? Better chance of mixing it with other prima donnas based in London? Get rid and start again. Invest in young hungry players who concentrate on football rather than fashion. Get players who do it on the pitch rather than say the right things off it. Sick and tired of our club buying these "big name" big salary players. Go back to basics. Get winners. Get players who are focused and committed. That 80s team was full of unheard of names. No superstars until they played together as a team and achieved success. BACK TO BASICS PLEASE!

14 May 2022 20:41:57
Problem is the mediocre ones don’t want to go.

16 May 2022 21:30:32
Sell the whole lot they are an embarrassment to the thousands of fans who stood outside that ground for 3 hours and sang their heart out. I was one of them and I must say I loved every min of it. Then I take my seat inside the ground and watch Pickford hoof the ball down the pitch to no one. It’s 2022 football has moved on not once did he pass it out. If 12year olds done that now their coach would ask them what the heck are yous doing this isn’t football it’s rugby.

10 May 2022 18:20:37
Ismaila Sarr (knee) , Emmanuel Dennis (knee) , Joshua King (sickness) , Kiko Femenia (sickness) , Juraj Kucka (knee) , Shaq Forde (ankle) , Tom Cleverley (ribs) and Nicolas N'koulou (groin) join Imran Louza and Cucho Hernandez (hamstring)

All missing for Watford tomorrow.
Let's hope we can take advantage.

10 May 2022 19:11:06
Well if we can’t we deserve to go down.

10 May 2022 22:16:33
Let’s hope for 3 points but not forget we have two more home games. If we can continue this form, we could get 6 points there though we’ll need more heroics from Pickford with the mistakes out defence keep making.

11 May 2022 12:16:17
Thx for the info, had been considering a bet on Cleverley scoring the winner. :X.

09 May 2022 11:45:13
Wondering if the Ed can tell us anything about Calvert Lewin moving on? And if he was to go I'd be trying to get Eddie Nketiah as his replacement on a free too! Probably has bigger clubs in better positions looking at him.

{Ed002's Note - Dominic Calvert-Lewin (S) with Everton in need of adding a striker the chances of DCL being sold unless a very significant offer arises are small. However, Arsenal are still looking for a striker and interest remains. The Real Madrid coach has said he is one of the rare English players who he thinks would take to football on the continent - so there may be interest. Other clubs looking for a striker such as Spurs and Newcastle have other preferred options. Manchester United may also provide an option.
Eddie Nketiah (S) Will look to other options in the summer. Bayer Leverkusen, Brentford, Borussia Muenchegladbach and West Ham might provide options, Leeds perhaps another. Has been offered to Newcastle, who need another striker still, and Crystal Palace as well. Free Agent in the summer. Arsenal are trying to have him sign a new deal. West Ham and Crystal Palace are likely the preferred options, and he would be a starter.}

10 May 2022 08:02:11
Think Eddie will have offers from other teams in a better position than us.

10 May 2022 11:53:39
I'm not really buying into Brentford and Leeds being better options. If we stay up, I highly doubt either of those two being more successful in the coming season or the future at all.

10 May 2022 13:50:17
West Ham are favoured.

07 May 2022 22:56:34
Hi Ed
How many of these do you expect to leave this summer
Pick ford
Mind
Holgate
Kenny
Games
Allan
Gambin
Random
Tosun
Micheal Keane
Mouse Keane
Dcl
Richardson
Sigurdson

Also with finances being tight do you think simms and dobbin will get their chance. the wage bill should be greatly reduced if most of these leave in the summer.

{Ed002's Note - 8 or 9 plus probably four others you have not mentioned.}

08 May 2022 10:35:31
Ed, if 8/ 9 leave and with our huge FFP issues, I assume it will be youth and free transfers we have to rely on to plug the gap and form a new squad?
If that’s the case, if we don’t go down this season we surely will next!

{Ed002's Note - Not entirely.}

08 May 2022 13:24:43
There’s plenty of good players in the free transfer and loan market. It’s not just recouping fees for players, which we can with a few, it’s getting high wages off the books. Allan, Siggy, Gomes etc. We should still be able to invest in the squad, and live within FFP. Others do. No idea why anyone thinks that getting rid of that bunch and having others in would mean we’ll go down. Fully expect us to be more competitive next season.

08 May 2022 16:19:42
I hope so JB. I can still see a fair few going.

08 May 2022 18:00:03
I'd like Richarlison and Pickford to stay out of them. Sell the rest. I think we will sell Richarlison though. If he wants to go, I won't blame him but thank him for his service as he works his socks off every time he pulls on that Everton shirt. If Pickford and Richarlison go then it will be a big blow, no just for their skill but for their hard work and passion.

08 May 2022 19:26:31
This is what I would like to happen this summer regarding our departures

Pickford (keep)
Begovic (expired)
Lonergan (expired)
Virginia (Sporting have option to buy) (keep)

Kenny (expired)
Patterson (keep)
Holgate (sell) (10m)
Keane (keep)
Mina (sell) (15m)
Mykolenko (keep)
Godfrey (keep)
Coleman (keep)
Branthwaite (keep)
Nkounkou (keep)
Allan (sell) (10m)
Delph (expired)
Doucoure (keep)
Gomes (sell) (10m)
Davies (sell) (10m)
Alli (keep)
Grey (keep)
Townsend (keep)
Iwobi (keep)
Gordon (keep)
Gbamin (sell) (10m)
Sigurdsson (expired)
Richarlison (keep)
Calvert-Lewin (sell) (60m)
Tosun (expired)
Rondon (sell) (2m)
Simms (keep)

6 expired contracts
8 sales.

08 May 2022 21:37:18
Think we’d be lucky to get £50m for DCL after this season. Did he do a Jelavic? One season wonder? I’d also prefer Richarlison to stay as he offers more.

What we need is a CB to marshal the back line and CMs. A back up CF better than Rondon is also a must.

Think we may have to dip into the Loan market to try and get some CM backup.

Before we do any of this though - we need to avoid the drop.

08 May 2022 22:03:02
Think you’re optimistic with those fees you’re suggesting. No chance get anywhere near those fees for any of them.

Personally would hope sporting sign Virginia - been with us ages and never shifted Pickford, would rather see Tryer given understudy duty.

Holgate would keep, erratic at times but think he’s starting to show his worth.

10 May 2022 11:55:15
Gomez should be sold for nominal fee. 1-2m would probably do it.

10 May 2022 17:19:33
Gomes - Could go on a free in my opinion to clear some wages.
Had flashes of good performances prior to injury but even before injury was far too inconsistent.
Even worse since the injury, not sure how he still gets in the squad.

07 May 2022 10:37:00
Hey Ed, any more info on us being linked with Ryan Kent from Rangers and Josh Brownhill from Burnley?

{Ed002's Note - Josh Brownhill (CM/DM) West Ham had an interest when he was at Bristol City. Leeds have him on a list of options if they lose Phillips. Watched by Everton and Aston Ailla but perhaps not first choice for either.
Ryan Kent (W) Leeds have a sustained interest and will certainly follow up with another offer in the summer. Fulham may offer an option. Rangers will try and get a new contract agreed.}

05 May 2022 09:10:37
Rumours Newcastle are Interested in DCL and if they offered silly money I would accept it and say good luck.

06 May 2022 10:29:10
Rumours have it Pickford will be sold?

{Ed002's Note - He has been recommended to Spurs and Everton will have to listen to offers as they struggle to resolve their financial mess.}

06 May 2022 13:40:37
Sell Pickford, buy Pope when Burnley go down. Or Johnstone on a free from West Brom.

06 May 2022 14:04:08
ED02 say we sell Richy Lewin and Pickford would that sort our financial issues out as according to Richard Buxton (reliable Journalist) he stated our losses are 85 mill which is under the 105 mill limit due to C.V. and the stadium costs and the FA have accepted these figures.

{Ed002's Note - He is wrong - Everton have huge debt and huge losses. I have no idea where that £85M figure comes from and the £105M figure is not an annual amount. Perhaps he is teasing you?}

06 May 2022 16:45:33
I’d wait till we know we’re safe before suggesting another relegated teams players.

We go down and will be a mass exodus.

06 May 2022 22:52:52
Would ideally rather not go down for it to happen Dan but a mass exodus sounds truly magical.

06 May 2022 18:19:11
Cheers ED02 just something he posted on his account he said when you take in to account the stadium costs and cost of C.V. our losses are 85 mill so under the 105 limit. It looks like we will have to sell and start again either way we are far too reliant on Moshiri which doesn't bode well for the future.

{Ed002's Note - It seems he perhaps doesn’t understand. The stadium costs are of no relevance.}

07 May 2022 00:14:59
The problem is the imposition of FFP.

07 May 2022 01:49:55
I thought we had an outstanding young keeper coming through the ranks. Use him if he’s up to it. Sell Pickford. Get some youth in.

07 May 2022 11:11:25
If pick ford is sold then I'd go all out for Samba from forest.
