Everton Rumours Mobile

Official then Burnley to fight Everton in court this summer for compensation,

23 Apr 2025 17:53:26
Well if it’s a fight I suggest we get Bellew in.

{Ed025's Note - Tony v Dyche would be good.. :)

23 Apr 2025 18:57:36
Think he would win it mate.

23 Apr 2025 19:31:19
Can of worms.

23 Apr 2025 21:12:51
Still don't see where our on field advantage came from. Thought most our losses were due to stadium. Not our fault Burnley were pure gash that season. And if man city lose their case then surely any team below them has a right to sue them.

23 Apr 2025 22:26:14
Be amazed if this gets to court - will have massive implications for the premier league if does go ahead and will potentially lead to other clubs challenging each other and make a mockery of the premier league.

There is no way the Prenier league will want it’s brand tarnished by this which is what would happen.

23 Apr 2025 12:47:54
Not sure what this means but it means something! US fund manager Christopher Sarofim, a minority owner of the NFL’s Houston Texans, has joined the board of Everton FC after buying into the club’s ownership group.

Sarofim, 63, is chairman of Fayez Sarofim and Co, a fund set up by his father which manages $30bn in assets, and a friend of new Everton owner Dan Friedkin.

He has bought an undisclosed minority stake in Roundhouse Capital, which Friedkin set up to buy the Premier League club last year, and will become a board observer at Everton.

“Christopher Sarofim is someone I have known and respected for many years, ” said Friedkin.

23 Apr 2025 13:27:45
Hopefully means more money in the pot for club costs and transfers mate.

23 Apr 2025 14:46:30
Another Billionaire can’t have too many of them.

23 Apr 2025 19:27:57
Looks a good move this one.

23 Apr 2025 19:34:29
How many billionaires does it take to run a football club properly…?

23 Apr 2025 20:24:34
As the late great 02 said in the early days, expect the Friedkins to look immediately to outside investors to share the load. I'd expect another 1 or 2 within 12 months.

23 Apr 2025 22:28:26
Fans shouldn’t get excited and think this appointment will mean more money to spend.

Its a sensible appointment of an experienced businessman who will bring a wealth of experience which will hopefully stand the club in good stead for further investment and development - it won’t see his money being used to bolster the squad.

22 Apr 2025 19:19:56
Reading that we could get a cut price deal on Tom Fellows, be a good start to much needed new recruits.

{Ed025's Note - that would be a good start GB, i would like us to get some business done early myself mate because it seem that in previous seasons we have been waiting for scraps from clubs who have done deals early, lets hope these new owners buck that trend..

22 Apr 2025 19:34:04
Yep that’s for sure Ed, looking forward to this summer going to to be a cracker mate, with BMD and our new owners and hopefully a good few signings and out goings as well mate.

{Ed025's Note - im just taking it as it comes GB, im sure we will keep players i want to go and buy players i dont really want thats just the way it is, but im going to try not to moan.. :)

22 Apr 2025 20:00:41
I do not know for sure but even with the rescheduling of debt we must still be careful. TFG are no mugs.

22 Apr 2025 19:51:57
Can’t please all the people all of the time eh mate, one thing that is for certain we now have a much much brighter future eh.

{Ed025's Note - its looking that way mate, im not asking for the earth i just want us to be competitive and not looking over our shoulders at the relegation zone...is that too much to ask? COYB..

22 Apr 2025 20:11:29
I keep reading those days are now at last over and there will be a decent war chest available for Davey.

22 Apr 2025 22:28:56
Would love some early business and offloading a bunch of deadwood but this is Everton…

Best to strap yourself in and go along with the ride even if it is more Nemesis at Alton towers than the mini railway at Southport pier!

21 Apr 2025 11:17:11
Do any Eds think we have a chance of signing Liam Delap?

I think the likes of Tom Fellows and Charlie Alcarez would be brilliant acquisitions but somebody like Delap would be an amazing marquee signing going into BMD.

{Ed025's Note - i think he will go to a top 4 side myself WT, but i would love us to get him mate..

21 Apr 2025 13:00:25
Think he will rejoin City who will loan him out depending on who they want to buy. Can see a deal where Branthwaite is wanted by City plus we get offered Delap on loan plus 30m.

21 Apr 2025 14:09:45
With so many teams looking for a number 9, just can’t see us being in the race for him.

21 Apr 2025 13:57:34
What do you mean Ed’s we will be a top 4 team mate lol.

{Ed025's Note - i would like to think so Penysarn but we have to learn to walk before we can run mate.. :)

21 Apr 2025 18:25:47
If City wanted Branthwaite then would ask for Delap but not as a loan. Swap plus cash let's see just how badly they want him.

21 Apr 2025 19:08:49
If he goes to city, then good luck to the kid. He could be playing week out for Everton. Rather than stuck on the bench for city.

21 Apr 2025 23:02:18
Cookie you genuinely think we’d let Branthwaite go for £30m and the option to loan Delap for a season?

That’s like a £40m package tops!

Think the only way Branthwaite goes to city and we did actually want Delap then it would be Delap coming to us on a permanent plus something like £40m cash and a sell on fee included in any future sale of Delap.

Branthwaite all day long is a £70m+ player.

No way is Delap currently worth more than £30m based on one season in the league.

22 Apr 2025 17:25:13
I said that would be city's initial offer. Think it will end up at 50-60m plus Delap on loan for year before we accept. But I don't know just a feeling.

23 Apr 2025 22:33:13
Sorry cookie didn’t see anything regarding an “initial” offer just read what you’d written.

Will be interesting to see what happens with JB - unfortunately think there’ll be a lot of interest in him this closed season - hopefully don’t need to sell but if we do decide to we should be in a decent position to negotiate for once.

17 Apr 2025 17:35:06
Looks like Gueye won't sign an extension to his contract with us, been reading he's off to the Saudi pro league,

17 Apr 2025 19:19:51
Yes I've just been reading the same, it's a shame as he was by far our best midfielder.

17 Apr 2025 19:30:09
He's played very good this season. Might think he's given all he can and won't be able to next season.

17 Apr 2025 22:48:41
Who ever knows for sure but I agree, he's been immense the last 18 months after a below par first season back. He's no spring chicken and the worst thing would be his level nose diving and him leaving under a cloud of disappointment next summer. Been great for us mostly over 2 spells and deserves a final big pay day in Saudi, if it happens. Hopefully a few more will go with him.

18 Apr 2025 07:39:24
If gueye leaves go and get nico raskin from rangers davey if your reading this kids class.

18 Apr 2025 11:36:26
He’s done well for us and whatever he decides to to do I wish him all the best.

19 Apr 2025 06:47:40
Toffeeloyalist, he is class in a very poor Rangers side, playing in the equivalent of the English lower Championship (at a stretch) / league 1.

19 Apr 2025 08:00:30
He's also a starter for Belgium and dominated in every match rangers played in Europe.

19 Apr 2025 09:13:55
Good luck to the man whatever he does. Very impressive at his age, and has been head and shoulders above some in that team.

20 Apr 2025 17:37:20
Hope he can be persuaded to give it one last whirl, perhaps with a nice big bonus if we do well in first season at BMD.

15 Apr 2025 19:24:49
A certain site, has us selling, Branthwaight, and Armstrong, and saying we have no hope of landing Delap, as he will pick united or spurs, well looking at the table, that does not seem automatic.
Spurs, perennial also ranes, and United are in a whole dug by mister Radcliffe ( and long my it continue)
So, Branthwaight is staying, Armstrong an Everton star in the making, and Delap banging in 20 for us, first season.

15 Apr 2025 19:40:44
I was reading Delap wants to join Chelsea and play with his pal palmer and European football 🤷‍♂️ and just seen spurs want mycko because city fancy undogie. And the transfer bollox continues lol 😆.

16 Apr 2025 00:13:13
I would understand if he picked Chelsea over us Ron. London, more recent success, higher wages. We have improved under Davey but our squad is still poor.

If Spurs want to take Myko, I would be all for it. Average fullback that needs replacing if we want to kick on next year and challenge for top half/ Europe. There are 10 left backs better than him, which by that logic, means we need an upgrade.

16 Apr 2025 07:31:19
Oh no i totally agree about delap preferring Chelsea but can't see spurs wanting myko they like attacking fullbacks. Both team's will probably have new managers in the summer aswell.

16 Apr 2025 07:49:41
Myko has been solid since moysey came back we have the best defence in that league wouldn't want to break it up. salah never got a sniff in the two derby's maybe spuds are seeing that.

16 Apr 2025 12:10:24
Did salah not assist and score at Goodison. And I'm not arguing with you TL but i haver never rated myko so I won't change my mind. out of position for me to much.

16 Apr 2025 14:10:50
I think he is reaping the rewards of the other 4 in that defence tbh TL.

I will never knock Myko as he tries his hardest but there is just no escaping how limited he is for me. Totally agree Ron, the amount of chances/ goals conceded as a result is concerning.

I think it is very achievable to get somebody in who is as solid defensively but offers more on the ball and going forward. As I say, there are comfortably 10 better than him in this league, let alone further afield.

16 Apr 2025 16:33:56
To be fair to him I thought he did a great job on Salah at Anfield. Also when he first came to us he got forward a lot. Maybe working under Dyche has taken the edge off the lad?

16 Apr 2025 17:50:45
Do you reckon so Brass.

I think he is dreadful going forward. No ability on the ball to beat a man or deliver it. 1 assist per season on average in roughly 3 seasons is so poor in todays game.

One of the easiest positions for us to improve this summer. It would have been the same on the other flank had Moyes not played a masterstroke in playing Big Jake there.

Again, nothing personal against Myko as he tries within his limits but his limits are very apparent.

16 Apr 2025 20:17:52
So have a go at Micky because he doesn’t get forward and cross a ball, but O’Brien who doesn’t get forward and cross a ball is doing great?

16 Apr 2025 22:17:52
Just saying he did a good job on Salah at Anfield. On another point it might help him get forward more if we had some consistency from our wide men. We rotate them more than a pig on a spit.

17 Apr 2025 13:32:08
Have a go? Can you not read plain English. Not once but twice did I say it wasn't personal. You do realise that you can pass an opinion on a player without "having a go" don't you?

Bit of a strange thing to compare the two of them but hey, you did, so may as well break it down.

O'Brien has played 12 games, Myko over 100. One is playing in his actual position and one is being asked to fill in as a makeshift RB. One has scored 0 goals and 0 has scored 2. One is in his first season after being practically abused by the previous manager and one is in his 4th.

19 Apr 2025 06:59:29
Certainly getting forward more under our refreshed coaching staff. I never rated Bainesy as a fullback but great as a wingback particularly with peanut. O'brien is earmarked as in a future CB partnership and has benefitted by having non-other than Harrison in front of him. See what our Summer brings. A massive ask but RB, RW, LB, CM and Striker needed but where do the funds come from?

15 Apr 2025 18:58:23

{Ed025's Note - lets hope so mate..

15 Apr 2025 18:36:24
The rags really are comical. Saying we are thinking of selling Armstrong Blackburn for 10m. Really?

15 Apr 2025 19:42:03
I did see last week they wanted him on loan can't see us selling him myself.

16 Apr 2025 16:34:50
Armstrong is the future of this club, selling him would be mental.

11 Apr 2025 09:22:49
Maxime Estève (Burnley centre back)
David Hancko (Feyanoord Lt back / Centre back - 25 million)
Merlin Röhl (Freiburg) - instead of Alcarez

All bern linked this week.

12 Apr 2025 11:21:49
That Rohl looks a class act tbh Sobs. Would be a brilliant signing if we could land him.

I would like Frendrup for the dm. Tireless and ready to take over from Gana.

12 Apr 2025 12:12:36
Mentioned him earlier this week would be a real coup if we could get him mate.

12 Apr 2025 17:11:45
Surely we should be in for Alcaraz and Röhl. We need the upgrades on our midfield asap.

12 Apr 2025 18:39:32
Is Alcaraz all that?

12 Apr 2025 18:53:35
He’s better than Doucs, Harrison and Garner going forward Sobs. He has pace, can dribble and can pick a pass. We will need depth and he gives us more quality up front than half the attacking players. If they give Doucs a contract based on that goal and playing badly half the season then surely Alcaraz should be ahead of him after scoring at Palace and several assists.

12 Apr 2025 19:03:22
Just been reading Doucs now wants a new contract with us after his goal today.

12 Apr 2025 20:02:52
Not for me. Should be looking at younger players now.

{Ed025's Note - yeah BMD, one swallow does not a summer make..

12 Apr 2025 20:18:32
Nor me.

13 Apr 2025 10:08:41
Pleased that he got the winner in front of the away end. Still time foto move on for me.

15 Apr 2025 12:58:37
A new contract, on reduced term, may not be the player he was, but commited to the club, more than be said for others.

16 Apr 2025 16:37:10
He's committed to the club all the time they are paying him 120k a week. To old, to slow and can't pass a ball.

11 Apr 2025 08:03:06
Hey dmsblues your not grumpy your right about 1 win in 8 what I meant was the fact was we have more of an attacking threat than under SD not sitting back and trying to either defend a 1-0 lead or trying to keep the score down. We all realise it's going to take a few transfer windows to sort out but we definitely have the spine of a decent team. I was wondering if any of the Ed's have heard when the Man City case will be over I'm pretty sure that Guardiola said it would be over in march.

{Ed025's Note - they are drawing it out Andy and will do until they possibly can mate..

11 Apr 2025 16:14:23
My son told me yesterday that City verdict will now be in the summer. he's not in the know as far as I know but he seems as certain as a typical 14yr old.

09 Apr 2025 09:15:25
Echo saying us and Brighton are looking at Delap £40m bid apparently.

09 Apr 2025 09:37:02
Apparently City have a buy back option on him that I'd be surprised they don't use, to either use themselves or sell for a profit.

Love seeing us get the lad. 🙏.

09 Apr 2025 19:56:46
Alot of clubs will be interested when it's finally confirmed Ipswich have been relagted especially at that price. can he turn city down if they used the buyback clause.

09 Apr 2025 20:52:54
Not sure on that Ron mate, read they have first refusal at £40million. Lads going to be top drawer so may buy and loan out for season as doubt he will want play 2nd fiddle to Haaland, he has strong chance of being Kane's long term replacement he's that good.

09 Apr 2025 22:35:16
He’ll move, but not to us I’m afraid.

10 Apr 2025 10:04:19
Don't be afraid JB, be confident you just never know.

10 Apr 2025 11:30:54
How can you know that JB mate.

10 Apr 2025 12:35:06
It would be some coup tbf GB. a lot will be interested with better salary to offer and European football, depends what way the lad wants to go. I'd be surprised and very happy but not expecting.

10 Apr 2025 14:18:32
Ok, for the uber pedantic posters, there’s a very low chance that he’d sign for us over the many other Prem teams that would match/ better our offer. Good strikers are gold dust at the moment. Being positive does not change the facts of the matter.

10 Apr 2025 17:22:07
Wish we had a list of potential strikers incoming that is based on actual possibility.

I don’t think Delap will be on our list unless Rory is coming out of retirement….

10 Apr 2025 18:43:28
We’d be dangerous from throw ins BR.

10 Apr 2025 23:20:03
Can’t stand Delap, he is a sly twat just like James Beattie who I went to school with. Hated watching us play when Beattie was on the pitch and the same would be true if Delap were to sign for us. Would rather get behind nice guys like Beto, Ndiaye, and Alcaraz.

11 Apr 2025 07:37:07
Can't see city letting him join utd but who knows. and he will want to join a team playing European football no doubt.

11 Apr 2025 18:14:52
Too many nice guys won't get us anywhere mate.

13 Apr 2025 22:43:18
If he goes back to City then maybe a cheeky swap. Doucs for Haarland.
