Everton Rumours Mobile

Anyone for Jarrad Bowen in January? He can play right or as a 9, West Ham going through the motions at the min so reckon this could have legs in January, If Grealish goes, George Left, Bowen Right or a nine when needed.

10 Nov 2026 15:20:18
We won't be getting anyone in January, Stephan borson thinks that our owners won't spend and why would they, they want to sell, we are now sitting pretty and there money will stay in there pockets, so anyone thinking we are splashing the cash come January can think again, probably be loans that's it.

10 Nov 2026 15:42:00
Whilst I agree i'm just thinking if Grealish ends up going that's a massive chunk of wages off the Bill, could allow for someone like Bowen coming in.

{Ed025's Note - i think Bowen would be out of our price range Col..

10 Nov 2026 15:42:56
I agree bp think these owners are going to keep there change in there pockets until the club is sold in my opinion as for jarrod col he be a massive upgrade in our team surprised no one else tried buy him but then again I imagine we or any other club would have to ask mr dyers permission first haha.

10 Nov 2026 17:49:53
Well if Borson said so then it must be right.

10 Nov 2026 12:04:21
Reading we are trying to do a deal for Kevin De Byrne 35 yr old now at Napoli,some joke journalism I reckon

09 Nov 2026 16:09:27
Seeing as though there is strong interest from Chelsea for Tarks. What price, if any, would people be comfortable at selling him for.

I am not saying we should sell him and it would put us in a vulnerable position part-way through the season. His level has gone back up from falling off last season. He is, however, 34 in 10 days and if Chelsea were chucking a fee at us, what would people want if it turned out to have some legs?

09 Nov 2026 17:25:07
I haven't noticed his level going back up to be honest. His antics against Coventry and Newcastle could have cost us both games. He's awful.

09 Nov 2026 18:13:56
I am not his biggest fan tbh Reg but I can still appreciate what he offers to a team that plays in the style of ours and under a manager like Moyes.

I do think his levels have gone back up though from last seasons fall off though mate.

What would you consider a decent fee to get for him then, seeing as though you wouldn't be against getting rid?

09 Nov 2026 18:49:23
He was awful last season, but i think he's been one of the best in the league this season. Defensively he's been almost flawless, and his 'antics' have gotten smarter.

Newcastle is a good example of getting under someone's skin, but letting them lose their head instead of your own. Last season i reckon he'd have been rolling on the floor with Joelinton, as opposed to standing their laughing while they all swarm him.

I think, at this stage, it's not a deal which will ever work for us. Doubt they'll offer more than £4m. That said, if it gives Obrien a route back into the team, him alongside Branthwaite is a very good duo.

{Ed025's Note - i think he has been excellent this season Alex and besides KDH has probably been our best player, he is also our captain so it would take an exceptional offer for us to let him go i feel mate..

09 Nov 2026 20:18:05
Have to agree with that it would be folly to move him on.

09 Nov 2026 21:57:02
Be mad to got to chelsea another toxic club that the Premier League has bent over for the super league 6 are crumbling and they can't handle it.

10 Nov 2026 07:03:11
Id sell him for 50 million or he can stay with us, there aren't many defenders as reliable as him.

10 Nov 2026 09:39:52
Tarky would be worth about 5-10M max to any other team, we just can afford to loose him mid season so I wouldn't sell for less than 25M.

10 Nov 2026 20:37:25
Do they want Keane instead?

09 Nov 2026 16:05:17
I know a lot of fans like the look of Graham but with the caveat of his size hindering him physically in the PL. What are peoples thoughts on Benjamin?

Was very highly rated at Arsenal and his goal scoring record sits at about 1 in 2. The lad has pace to burn and stands a lot large than Graham does at 6ft 2.

I wonder if we will start seeing him on the bench for games soon.

09 Nov 2026 16:12:12
Don't remember a certain Mr Owen being that tall or Aguero, or Messi, or Maradona for that matter. If you have the talent then height doesn't matter.

09 Nov 2026 18:52:33
Someone not having the size for the Prem is the biggest myth in football.

There are literally hundreds of extremely talented, successful players with little physical presence. It's just an excuse managers who have been left behind by the game use.

09 Nov 2026 23:31:14
Well Alex Young was one of the best but the defenders were smaller also. I would love to see Barry and Graham playing as joint strikers, however it will never happen under Moyes.

10 Nov 2026 09:37:27
Moyes said he sees him as a wide forward so its unlikely we will see him this season up front, with the players Moyes currently has available.

09 Nov 2026 00:05:03
Im going to hold firm and still say i dont think moyes is the man to take us forward. No disrespect to him, i dont think he is a terrible manager either, also credit where credit is due for the last week. Maybe though he is the right manager for the moment given the very small squad we have. Enjoy the wins but dont get too upset over the losses, i think it will be another frustrating season but progress is steady and never forget the absolute dross i would label as the moshiri years!!
On another note (tounge in cheek) can any of the following we have been linked with play left back ;-)
Gallagher
Yeboah

09 Nov 2026 10:10:24
I think that's what a lot of us have been saying for a while, but it's taken as that we're saying he's the man for the long term.
When you listen to ex pros and managers talk about the job he's doing with the squad he has, they all say it's an outstanding job.

Now I know they don't have to watch the football, but we've played some decent stuff in patches. Keep ticking along, get to the semis, hopefully a couple of loans in January, and who knows ay?

09 Nov 2026 13:34:29
Agree one can never say say never not in footy.

09 Nov 2026 14:54:33
Honestly for me he is probably the guy until we get new owners. I am not saying right when new owners come in but at the end of that season. He's a nice bit of stability and hey maybe we have a shot at Europe this season.

I think Moyes has been good for the club in both stints and has been the best we have had since Carlo left the club in this second stint.

09 Nov 2026 16:14:39
That's not a very high bar Bob🤣.

09 Nov 2026 18:29:08
He has cleared it. I mean I know we won't be fixed in a season. It will take a year a two if we really want to contend for Europe and stay consistently getting Europe not like Sunderland currently going to near relegation.

10 Nov 2026 06:29:20
I would give him 27/28 and then let him go. I agree with all the comments but I feel he gives us a lot of stability so let the new owners come in and have a season of stability and time to appoint the right man

The last thing we need is another circus and tears of panic.

08 Nov 2026 23:15:55
Everyone seems to have an opinion about Jack, but, the truth is, none of us know what really happend,givern his reputation as a party animal, we can all speculate, but none of us know any facts .
Hope it's not the end of him at the club, he bring star quality,not something we are over blessed with, but, at the end of the day,no one is bigger than the club, all we can do is hope the powers that be, make the right call.

09 Nov 2026 13:35:39
Definitely we need him back Jack on one wing George on the other.

07 Nov 2026 22:24:01
Am gonna be honest lads am gonna eat humble pie I was one that didnt want moyes well it wasnt that it was his set up and late substitutes that irritated me still does but fair play for the results hes got the owners upstairs that want out i imagine they wont invest in January and I imagine they would want moyes to keep us in the prem but yeah il have some of that cake and the reason I havnt posted havnt been well but im on the mend but all have a good Sunday and il be back in the chat against Brentford after the annoying international breaks UTFT

07 Nov 2026 22:38:38
to be honest, i still don't think Moyes is the right man to take us forward - and it's worth bearing in mind that we've only really won games we "should" have won, and have lost the two hard ones without so much as a whimper.

That said, I'll also hold my hands up and say things are going well right now, and his pragmatism late on has worked.

I do think things will slip again when the fixtures get hard, though.

08 Nov 2026 01:41:15
Every team can say they should win games, but they're not all 5th in the league with a squad 19 and one striker. Why can't we give credit where it's due?

08 Nov 2026 07:42:58
No two ways about it both the Team and DM have done well recently really happy with our progress and DM at last seems to be using what's available to him.

08 Nov 2026 07:45:57
Thing that moyes does that annoys the fans is since 2002 he shows to much respect to the so called super league 6 teams his record against most of them is embarrassing why can't we go at them instead of playing fir a draw he talks them up like there unbeatable tells his players not to attack but to sit in and counter other teams attack these teams Brighton have best Arsenal n manc already forest beat manc last night but we never go for it that's the problem with moyes he's happy finishing just behind them in 7th or 8th doesn't want to break up the party.

08 Nov 2026 08:32:31
Before moyes, relegation every season, since moyes we've avoided even being in the battle, yet some on hear again saying we are only winning games we should, before moyes we never had a game we should win we were poor and lucky to be in the prem, if you hate moyes and you can't praise the bloke for what he's doing, why bother trying to down grade him as if you actually no what your talking about, I no this is a banter page but jesus some of you are scrapping the barrel with some of the things your writing, 5th in the league, barry second on the scoring charts and should be top, who would of predicted that, let's enjoy it while it lasts, not find a reason to ruin it.

08 Nov 2026 12:15:56
It's as good as it gets Bluepasty, credit where credit is due as JB so rightly says and no arguments about Team or manager, we would have all taken our position now at the beginning of the season, long may it continue mate.

08 Nov 2026 13:24:05
Get well Andy. Everton are a passion to us all but your health is more important to you than anything.

08 Nov 2026 13:30:29
Yep all the best mate wishing a very speedy recovery.

08 Nov 2026 17:42:55
Thank you lads much appreciated thank you.

06 Nov 2026 23:26:58
“One of the worst strikers in Everton’s history” is now 1 goal away from equalling “club legend” Duncan Ferguson’s best season for us.

We have a really effective young lad upfront for us, appreciate him. Soon he’ll be gone and people can be happy we have another workhorse who averages 5 goals a season upfront again.

07 Nov 2026 00:20:25
Well he's a very average footballer but he works very hard and has the ability to be in the right place to score goals. If he could score some of the glaring misses he would be a world beater and we would have trouble keeping him.

One good thing is that he seems to be learning and has managed a few very good passes. It will be interesting to see how he progresses, he is still relatively young.

07 Nov 2026 06:58:39
Look around the Premier League they're not great strikers anymore part from haaland Barry's gona get 20 odd goals this season look what manu paid for zirkzee n the other ones can't remember there names they haven't got 10 between 4 of them Arsenal don't have anyone on double figures isak £100 odd million half the goals of barry he's starting to find his feet with us.

07 Nov 2026 09:15:57
He works hard and is getting rewarded for his efforts. He will get better. Only 24.A lot of clubs would pay big money for him now.
Long may it continue.

07 Nov 2026 16:59:24
If he sees off his sitters, you have to say 'hats off' for being in the right place, etc. We are talking about a 'tap in Titan'.

08 Nov 2026 01:56:22
I'm one of his biggest critics and I make no apologies for it. Credit where it's due, that was probably his best outing for us since he joined. But let's not get carried away, 2 goals against Coventry is one thing but he needs to be doing it against the top teams too.

He isn't the answer for leading the front line for us, we definitely need a more experienced striker that he can learn from and compete with. We can't go the entire season with Barry up top on his own.

08 Nov 2026 07:48:34
I can't see any experienced players that would do better the likes of rashford are done he will never score double figures I'm using rashford as an example he's finished the moneys seen him off.

08 Nov 2026 18:58:29
Please explain who he's going to learn off who's doing better than him, you may as well ask big dunk to come back and do some coaching, oh but he never was a prolific striker but everyone loves him. Barry may look like bambi on ice most of the time but goals are what he's paid for and goals he's getting. Doesn't say in his contract they have to be screamers, Gary linked spent his career being the fox in the box, you can't teach what he's doing its natural, what you can teach is technique and finshing, which can only get better with confidence, and this is coming from someone who couldn't believe we bought him after I watched him in the under 21 world cup, he's was freaking rubbish, but I take my hat of to the lad, and so should everyone else.

08 Nov 2026 23:15:08
A better striker, BP, is the easy answer. So, you're happy to have him leading the line for the rest of the season? Madness. He scores 2 against Coventry and all of a sudden, the lad is a contender for world player of the year!

Against the better teams, he is a liability with the chances he misses. Anyone with a pair of eyes can't deny that fact. Has he got potential? Yes, I'd say he has but he is far, far from the finished article right now. Couple that with the size of the squad and there will be games that he misses at some stage. So, yes, we need a more experienced striker in the next window.
Absolute stretch to compare him with Linekar too!

It's like the Beto argument all over again with Barry this season. He might be scoring some goals but his all round play needs a lot of work. So, yes, I'd have Barry on the bench come January if and when we get another striker in.

06 Nov 2026 18:01:59
Jack will be in contention against Brentford apparently

07 Nov 2026 01:42:12
Not sure why you think that is a good thing GB. We have won three games without him. I have said this before that we are much better balanced side without him. He starts and every attacking play goes through him. The right side is forgotten and the mid-field is bypassed.
Bring him on as a substitute and let me eat some humble pie.

07 Nov 2026 10:44:59
Welcome to warm the bench, but shouldn't start. You play your way back into a winning team.

07 Nov 2026 10:54:13
Contention? We have been lucky so far with injuries and suspension. Everyone has a role to play and that's exactly as it should be with a small squad. We are also paying a wedge so let's not be glib about Jack.

He absolutely has a big part to play. Madness to think otherwise. Instead of being oddly upset that DM is getting results as some on here appear, try to enjoy it eh? You've only been moaning 3 times a day for 6 years.

07 Nov 2026 11:32:07
Yes Grealish will be needed and will contribute but only when he gets his act together. He's obviously got major issues and his actions are not good for team building regardless of how small a squad we have.
6000 moans, can't really remember any of them to be honest, the only thing I remember is you moaning about people moaning.

07 Nov 2026 14:53:20
Agree totally Mike mate it's about opinions, personally I don't read FBs posts anymore he's only trying to wind you up mate take no notice.

07 Nov 2026 18:46:46
Agree GB, he said he was done a couple of weeks ago looks like he can't resist us.

05 Nov 2026 23:29:41
I've been hearing a few things from my own sources about the Grealish situation, and if what I'm being told is accurate, there's quite a bit more to this than meets the eye.

Apparently, Grealish attended the Pride of Britain Awards before spending the following night out at a Cheshire pub with Jordan Pickford, Tyler Dibling and Kyle Walker. A few drinks were allegedly involved, and the suggestion is that he was then hungover and reported himself ill ahead of the Arsenal game.

Things then escalated when he apparently believed he had been given an extra day off, only to miss a scheduled training session and find himself in trouble with the club.

I'm also hearing there then had been a fallout with Moyes, who originally wasn't particularly keen on bringing Grealish back to Everton in the first place. The suggestion is that the move only happened because other transfer business failed to materialise.

Now, the whispers are that Moyes would actually like to terminate the loan in January, but Manchester City aren't keen on taking him back.

Obviously, I can't independently verify every detail, but this is what is being fed back to me by my sources.

If there's any truth in it, what an absolute mess!

We've got a player with bags of ability who should be making a difference on the pitch.

06 Nov 2026 07:42:42
Hope we can sort it out squad is paper thin. at the mo mate.

06 Nov 2026 08:19:30
Having a few pints 3weeks ago shouldn't affect your performance on the pitch so he should be playing tonight but looks like someone's having a paddy sort of thing ferguson of manu used to do the showing who's in charge tactics but it's the fans who lose out trying to get behind a weakened team so it's advantage coventry before a ball is kicked.

06 Nov 2026 08:38:33
Considering the club haven't put out any detailed explanation of why he is being left out, that is a massive stretch to come to that conclusion, TL.

Something has obviously gone on, and is being dealt with by the club, but the speculation doesn't help the player or the fans. It will all come out in the wash eventually, until then we are all just guessing. Or using it as a stuck to beat the manager with!

06 Nov 2026 09:01:44
When an outstanding talented player is in a "situation" like this, we deserve to know who is culpable and what on earth the true nature of the wrongdoing is.
Especially when the depth of the squad is this thin.

06 Nov 2026 09:41:52
He doesn't want him yet when fit plays every game, think what or who ever is telling you stuff sounds like he's miles off it,

06 Nov 2026 10:23:18
BR, why do we deserve to know? It could be highly personal and sensitive for all we know, should that be plastered all over the rags? Footballers have the same rights to protect their personal life as well. As long as the club is dealing with the situation then that's all we need to know at this stage.

If it is a very serious incident then he will be back at City before too long. If not, he serves whatever punishment the club hands out and then he will be integrated back into the squad at some point.

06 Nov 2026 11:03:59
If this is way too delicate, personal, etc., this can be kept behind closed doors by way of a club statement saying so.
If it isn't a delicate matter, then yes, I think we deserve to know. Why should we not know?

06 Nov 2026 14:11:19
The club have made a statement and don't really have any need to elaborate on it, mate. From what they have said, it seems like it is a major personal issue for the lad. As fans, we don't need to know every sordid detail right now.

As I said previously, it will come out eventually but, in the meantime, not having those details in the public domain will take a bit of pressure off the situation until he is back training either with us or at City.

{Ed025's Note - even professional football players can have problems BP, i seen someone on a forum saying he should be booed when he comes on for us but that to me is scandalous mate, these are people irrespective of how much they earn and i know some will not agree but i think we should cut him some slack myself even though i am disappointed of how things have gone lately..

06 Nov 2026 14:37:14
Yep bluepotato no need to get the dirty washing in public mate.

06 Nov 2026 15:44:19
Totally agree with you ed25, sadly we have a few idiots that can't help run their mouths. I usually put it down to the microwave generation, those that want everything done and dusted immediately. Sadly, I've seen posts from those that say they are older than me saying similar to your post, mate. Sad and shocking really.

{Ed025's Note - sometimes we dehumanize players because of the money they are on BP but thats the way of the world these days im afraid, yes its annoying mate but we have to have some perspective..

06 Nov 2026 18:02:26
100% agree with you there, ed25. Crazy world we live in these days mate.

{Ed025's Note - people are different these days BP...and not in a good way imo, there seems a lack of respect and empathy mate...or is that just me being an auld git?

06 Nov 2026 18:38:25
I must admit my microwave isn't that efficient BP. It's less instant meal and more heat up, check it's not warm enough, put it back in for several minutes, check it still isn't warm enough, microwave again by the third or fourth attempt, it pretty much done.

Still shouldn't treat humans like that. No one wants and overdone Jacket or Grill-Dish.

06 Nov 2026 23:51:44
Ed25, the lack of empathy from some people is scary, mate. I'm a little younger than yourself but share the same concerns. Let's call it auld school rather than auld gits!

BR, tha made me laugh, pal, well played!
