Everton Rumours Mobile

26 Aug 2026 22:12:04
I have a strong feeling that we see Nidaye go to City before the window is out.

They have let Marmoush and Savinho leave and Doku is injured. Foden and Cherki aren't wingers and we are still after Grealish.

I can see Ndiaye going for a load of cash and Grealish coming in as part of the deal.



Will that then give us the money to secure Doue as a RB? Johnson, George, Dibling and Grealish as the winger options. I think we would need another with a bit more experience and pace.

26 Aug 2026 22:54:09
Doku is due to be back in two to three weeks from what I understand, and they are signing that 22 year old Brazilian winger Allan to replace Savio or whatever he's calling himself this week.
They are also targeting Gakpo, but not sure they will persuade that lot into a sale.
And though Cherki are both viewed primarily as attacking midfielders, they do also play on both wings, but prefer to be the number 10.
I think the Doue situation is our recruitment team looking to try and get a lower price agreed, which could blow up in our faces, especially with PSG showing an interest now.


I think, or maybe more a hope, that we keep Ndiaye, take Grealish on loan.
Switching attention to Baku or Ben White might be a smarter move.
Bring in Bard and loan out Aznou before we destroy his development.
Sell Beto and sign Dju would be a good upgrade as well.

26 Aug 2026 23:26:34
That totally works for me, Southern Toffee. I would be getting the Bunting out.

26 Aug 2026 23:32:54
Tickled me about Savio ST!

I think we might be trying to drive the price down on Doue because we don't have the money to get him. If we make a sale, I think we will see us bid what Strasbourg want, and tbf, in this current market and the types of fees we are seeing, I would say he is worth it.



Bard and Doue would take us up so many levels, and we would see the knock on effect that adding them to the side would have on the players already out on the pitch for us.

Dju coming in would be the icing on the cake.

26 Aug 2026 22:04:39
Granted we can only play what’s in front of us but hope Moyes gets the credit for picking a team that most of would have picked given the availability of players - two games on a row.

Also, let’s be honest and look at what Moyes said in his interview.



Lots of what was said was taken out of context and for once let’s get throw some positivity behind the team and the manager and stop being so fickle like the s****.

26 Aug 2026 22:56:01
Good choice on the lineup, I thought O'Brien might get the nod though, but then I understand that maybe he didn't as head not in the right space.

26 Aug 2026 21:56:18
Good performance tonight nice to see dibling starting and garner back in squad after his injury which is good and am happy for Barry to get a hat trick as well should give him the confidence that the lad needs but ed 025 there's few rumours online saying city are going to throw an 80 mil bid for ilman just wondering have you heard anything mate and if he does go which will be a massive lose by the way have we got any other wingers lined up that you might know of UTFT

{Ed025's Note - i think a lot of it is just speculation Andy, i would be devastated if he went this late in the window mate..

26 Aug 2026 22:19:42
I would be gutted if he was to go. I wouldnt blame him, like tbh, but a few people have mentioned that Jacob Murphy could be his replacement, surly not, and no disrespect to Murphy, by the way.

I expect us to sign a better replacement if Ilman was to leave, cause it would be a huge gap to fill. Just hope its speculation, as you say, mate.

26 Aug 2026 10:47:23
Everton have not given up on Daniel Munoz and remain in talks over a move for the Crystal Palace player. Meanwhile Tottenham are watching the developments closely, but with a different plan in mind.
I know not many transfers are straight forward, but you would have thought this would have possibly been one of the easier ones to get across the line.

I guess it must be haggling about the transfer fee and the schedule of payments; that's what normally seems to hold us up. But if this is the pace of transfer dealings, we have no chance of completing many deals before the deadline.

26 Aug 2026 11:18:00
Is he better than what we have, even though our best pair are not specialists? Ruhl is growing into it, and Garner has international experience. £25 mill, given the previous paragraph, is in my view too steep. Why are a team as 'bad' (some say) as Palace willing to sell?

26 Aug 2026 11:28:37
With Hackney, Armstrong, KDH, Alcaraz and Norgaard being able to play in the middle three, you could argue that Rohl and Garner are good right back options. I'm honestly more concerned about a striker and a left back. If Aznou isn't fancied, Myk can be understudy, but an upgrade is required. Hopefully we get all three.

26 Aug 2026 11:43:10
I think we could have got Munoz quite quickly but as I see it, I don't think he's our top target and that's why we haven't signed him yet. I believe Doue and Baku are ahead of him on our right back priority list, and both still available, so will have to wait and see.

As I mentioned previously, I would be happy with any of them 3. I think Doue is holding out for a Champions League club.

26 Aug 2026 12:33:05
I would have Doue as my preferred, and I do rate Ridle Baku. I am not as sold on Munoz as a long term solution.
I also agree that there are good options in the squad in Garner and Rohl, if they are keen to do their part for the squad.
Signing Bard for left back would allow Aznou to gain experience on loan.

If Moyes moves on at the end of his contract, whoever comes in would have a better player.

Seeing Brentford are tying up a deal for Diouf for £40m, it might be time to suck it up and just make the fee work for Doue.

26 Aug 2026 12:52:41
Doue is, I think, our preference, but alas we are looking for loans or loan to buy.

26 Aug 2026 13:20:17
Striker Franculino being mentioned again.

26 Aug 2026 13:35:58
So we should be interested in Franculino Dju. He's not just better than what we have, he's streets ahead.

Problem is, we couldn't just hoof the ball up to him and hope for the best. Plus, would Moyes want a season to integrate him when he's good enough now?

26 Aug 2026 14:31:27
Moyes handed Barry his debut in August last year, so no is the answer.

26 Aug 2026 14:32:44
I don't see us being a hoff it up team this season, our midfield and wingers are so much better with the ball than in recent seasons.

26 Aug 2026 15:09:52
Really like Dju, I wrote a bit on him the other day, different profile to Barry and Beto, he is still physical, but despite being 6'1, is not prolific in the air, but what he does well is accurate shooting and high chance conversion.


Sharp turn of pace and acceleration, and very good at exploiting spaces.
Can also, and has, played as second striker, right wing, as well as Centre Forward.
I know it's a low bar, but so much better than Beto with the ball played into him.

26 Aug 2026 15:21:09
People need to stop saying Rohl is "growing" into the RB role.
You're giving Moyes the "ok" to keep messing up players' careers.
He's forced O'Brien to walk away, as the lad knows he's not a RB, he's a CH who has looked fantastic in his natural position (I think 1 goal conceded.) when he plays there.
Now Merlin Rohl is an attacking midfielder, and he so rightly needs to be nurtured into becoming the complete midfielder he will surely become.
Moyes, on the other hand, is ready to hamper his development and push him into an unnatural RB position just so we don't have to spend money getting adequate players in for the RB position, and therefore risks the same scenario he has right now with O'Brien.


Many players will leave or want to leave due to Moyes' decisions regarding where these players play.
Getting really sick of this man now, I really am, and a few good results to start the season with won't stop the inevitable mid season rot that will come due to injuries/suspensions.

26 Aug 2026 16:41:41
Do you think Moyes is making decisions based on what fans on here say or write? DM can make a terrible decision all on his own. I doubt he knows this forum exists.

26 Aug 2026 19:14:11
Bleeds Blue. Spot on. Our!! Expert knowledge, fact! Mixed in with guesswork and media crap, all scoured from hours and hours of search engines mean F all. Makes not one difference to Moyes decision making.

What I do believe is days, weeks, months are taken up scouting, observing players, lists are made and narrowed down, then the couches are searched with anything found put at the negotiators disposal.

26 Aug 2026 19:45:40
Neither Rohl nor Garner should be playing RB. Just sign a RB ffs.

Garner is comfortably the best CM we have, and Rohl, given the chance to play there, is a brilliant midfielder, which is why I was very pleased when we brought the lad in.



Everyone asks for strength in depth like the top teams, but then, when we have it, we want them to play in a completely different position.

26 Aug 2026 09:07:46
£30 million for Beto supposedly offered by Como. Surely we would take that.

26 Aug 2026 09:31:46
Honestly can't believe it's true. Seems like paper talk to me. If it is, though, a few of us fans will literally carry him there, ferries and all.

26 Aug 2026 10:24:16
Even if it is Euro 30 mill, that is still £25 mill. How much did we pay for him?

{Ed025's Note - £25.75m mate..

26 Aug 2026 11:18:39
Even worse ED 🤣

26 Aug 2026 11:34:42
If we were Chelsea we'd get £60m for him. 🤣

26 Aug 2026 12:36:11
I think the reports reference 30m euros, which is what our agreement was for him, not that they have bid that for him.

26 Aug 2026 13:32:41
Sounds like it's both Fiorentina and Como interested - all depending on whether Como get Moise Keane from Fiorentina as to which one he ends up with. Please let this happen so we can nab Gouiri from Marseille.

26 Aug 2026 15:52:55
From what I've read, Como have offered for Moise Kean, and it's Fiorentina who are looking at Beto as a replacement - with no price quoted.

He's in the last year of his contract and been a flop, the idea any club would offer more than £15m is crazy. I'm pretty certain the 30m in question is for Kean.

25 Aug 2026 19:23:31
We walked away from the Delap deal a couple of days ago after Chelsea made it clear they wanted a sale for the player, not a loan. We only wanted a loan deal for the player & were unprepared to pay the price and will now look elsewhere for other targets.

Beto will now only be sold if a suitable replacement can be found in time… for me this is all totally unacceptable as the club should of known now for quite some time that we’ve been in desparate need a top drawer proven striker to be got in… in beggars belief… if us fans can all see it then why can’t the board? Delap was never going to be the answer for us, so now all hands to the pump right at the very end of the transfer window once more, do we ever learn?

25 Aug 2026 21:04:05
I would love to be proved wrong, but I believe we will be looking at loans and the cheapest options on deadline day.
Who would be interested in either Barry or Beto unless they are at the end of their contracts?
Our best option would be to sign either Brentford or Brighton's scouts/ recruitment department, because ours are obviously pants.

25 Aug 2026 21:20:46
Richy coming home?

25 Aug 2026 21:47:31
Let's hope so mate.

25 Aug 2026 21:50:19
Of course we are scrambling for deals and loans towards end of transfer window because we haven't got money of Big Six!
50 million for Delap would've been madness, so I'm so happy we walked away.
Look at Villa, even getting into Europe, they are having to shift their best players to be financially secure and compliant!
Buying young players, ie Aznou, Dibling, Rohl and Hackney, is the way to go.


I still feel we will strengthen before end of window, but feel too many fans gave unrealistic expectations as to where we are financially.
If we get a top 10 finish this season, which I think we will, Hey ho.
UTFT!

25 Aug 2026 21:53:37
Deer God - Spurs desperate to get rid of Richarlison - why do we want him - he's not a number 9 which is what we need - forget about him please.

25 Aug 2026 22:07:53
Totally agree, sobs. Was ok for Everton, but he isn't the same player, and it would be a massive risk re-signing him and a mistake.

25 Aug 2026 22:08:15
Apparently George has played as a 9. Richy would be good (if he leaves the sulking at Spurs) playing on/from the left.

25 Aug 2026 22:15:00
We are definitely not there on the financials yet, next summer the increased revenues of the new stadium will be on the accounts.
It's part of the reason we have been pushing contracts to include add ons to kick the funds down to future years.
I expect some loans with options/obligations to stretch our finances, and that's why we are having to keep our powder dry until the end of the window when some selling clubs will want to move players on to get the wages off their books.


Richarlison might be one as Spurs have to trim some of their players.
Not that I will be doing cartwheels for him, but Jesus will likely see his price fall, being in the final year of his contract.
With Arsenal acquiring Konsa, I could see a late deal for Ben White being possible, but he's costly.

26 Aug 2026 08:47:07
Just wanted to clarify that Spurs (especially De Zerbi) want to keep Richarlison but Richarlison wants the move back to us. They're certainly not desperate to get rid of him. There's an interview with De Zerbi stating he'd like Richarlison to stay at Tottenham but the Brazilian wants a move away. It's no secret that he wants a move back to us.

26 Aug 2026 09:22:12
I know we haven't got the money the Big Six have. But remind me, who's paying £50m for Delap?
Don't get me wrong, I don't want him, as he's never really shown an interest when we have. But I'm not sure it's a money thing.
If the CEO says we have 70% of our business yet to do, what's he funding it with?

26 Aug 2026 10:27:05
Surely 70% done 30% to do. The 70%, of course, could refer to out and in.

26 Aug 2026 10:54:49
Also, you don't need money of the Big Six to secure deals.

If we had a modicum of imagination, we would find good deals outside of the country.

Brighton have just bought another in for under 10m from Young Boys.

The deals are out there. We just lack the gumption to go and source them.

26 Aug 2026 12:39:58
Very true, dms. It does have the ring of ins and outs now, I think of it.

26 Aug 2026 19:24:04
That is a load of tosh. You are talking a business worth millions. Naive to believe this Club or any other of this stature do not watch/search the whole market for players.

25 Aug 2026 19:57:12
Gooooners sniffing around Ndiaye £80 million being quoted.

25 Aug 2026 23:34:27
Would not sell at any price, but I am a realist, if someone came in with an offer over 100mill, guess we would have to consider it. That may seem a very big ask, but considering the players who have recently moved for well over that figure, this guy is a country mile ahead of those players, in raw talent, but also what he brings to any team.

26 Aug 2026 08:32:11
Selling him so close to the window closing would be madness unless we have other players lined up. Given this is Everton we are talking about, I doubt this would be the case.

25 Aug 2026 19:03:03
Leeds and Palace after O'Brien.

25 Aug 2026 19:31:44
Saw that rumour earlier, which is comical that Palace will sign a player they sold for EUR1m to Lyon 3 years ago.
Another Textor masterclass back then for them.

Palace has made some uncharacteristic transfer decisions of late.

25 Aug 2026 19:42:52
Could be another player exchange with Munoz.

25 Aug 2026 20:32:10
Yes, that makes a lot of sense, exchanging a 25 year old who can only get better and have added value for a 30 year old with little or no added value. It will not happen.

25 Aug 2026 22:12:41
I feel we got the better deal in the Johnson McNeil swap. Not sure a straight swap of OBrien for Munoz makes sense. Filling the position we desperately need, then yes, but not a straight swap.

26 Aug 2026 08:33:46
Agree with Mike, but unfortunately I could see it happening.

25 Aug 2026 19:00:10
The chances we conceded and got away with, came for their two main strikers, Tarks is, with regret, a liability, to play him and not O'Brien is stubborn, beyond belief. I can see clearly why O'Brien would be inclined to leave, when a man is pick ahead of him, not on ability, but sentiment by the manager.

25 Aug 2026 19:25:54
After his first season, Tarkowski has always been a liability - involved in most of the goals we concede and usually stands looking for somebody else to blame - the standing in the 6 yard box, often in front of the keeper, drives me nuts.

His main asset is that he thinks he is better than he is. Confidence goes a long way in life. OBrien stays or goes. Picking Tarkowski every game will cost Moyes his job in my humble opinion.

25 Aug 2026 19:37:18
My biggest fear when Tarky was made club captain was that he had this undroppable status for Moyes.
But then I thought, actually Seamus didn't get played at times when we could have done with him, so maybe there is hope. Because personally, as good as Tarks has been, I feel he's dropped off dramatically last season, and watching him in that first game, he had not got back to his best.

For me, he would have cost us a game if it wasn't for Pickford and some outstanding saves.. again.

25 Aug 2026 12:58:20
Positive quotes as usual from Moyes in his Preston press conference.

25 Aug 2026 14:26:51
I think he's just hacked off at answering the same questions over and over again.

25 Aug 2026 14:53:06
I think he is to be applauded. These so-called journos are pathetic.
