We should be bringing a striker in regardless of weather The Chuckle Brothers stay or go. If one of them does leave, you would still want two in, hopefully with two different profiles.
We suffered last season as Barry and Beto offer nothing different to one another. That being said, I actually like one of their attitudes and think if he were to actually get a full season he could finish on 15-18 goals, if he were to replicate his form from the minutes he does get.
Beto can stay and Barry can go for me. Send him to Leipzig and get Franculino to replace him at a cheaper price.
Rumoured at 25m. Only just turned 22. Left footed which offers us something different. As well as being a decent goal scorer, he can play a bit as well. He has great movement, can finish, can also spot when a teammate is in a better position and is unselfish. He has 55 goals and 13 assists in 108 appearances for Midtjylland. 3 in 6 in the CL, 4 in 11 in the Europa League last season, 5 in 3 in the Europa Conference.
Get the lad in and then go for another one who is proven in a top European league as a goal scorer that can be a handful up top.

How can Forest spend so much when they aren't as big a club as ours? About to spend 80m on one player.
{Ed025's Note - you are going on the premise that we are still a big club Dev, maybe thats not the case these days mate..
22 Jul 2026 14:37:35
They sold Elliot Anderson.
22 Jul 2026 15:00:49
Bournemouth will do the same when Scott gets sold, mate.
22 Jul 2026 15:02:55
Good point, JB, forgot about Anderson.
22 Jul 2026 20:49:08
If you are talking about the young centre back, he was linked with the biggest clubs under Amorim.
Already won the league, a cup, AFCON and 2 team of seasons (Portugal) at 22, and he looks to have a very decent career ahead of him. Very good signing for them. I believe he wanted him at Palace as well to replace Guehi.
I can't believe somebody like a Chelsea or Utd who are crying out for CBs aren't in for him.
If he adopts a back 3 at Forest, like he favoured at Palace, that would give them a back spine of Milenkovic, Murillo and Diomande, not bad at all.
22 Jul 2026 21:33:39
Utd or Chelsea will just buy him for £120m next season if he is decent, BN. That's the sad thing about the direction the game is going.
22 Jul 2026 22:40:59
Not wrong, Br, mate. I fell out of love with it a long time ago. It would be a bit bitter sweet if we won something now for me, and would probably enjoy it more for others. It wouldn't mean half as much as it would have, not even a couple of decades ago.
22 Jul 2026 13:01:28
Journos' Patterson sale right for everyone, even if Everton don't have a RB. 🤣🤣🤣
22 Jul 2026 12:58:28
Know I have said it before, but it is worth repeating. I am very grateful that TFG, saved us from administration, and all it's possible consequences.
However, if they are unable, or unwilling to take the next step, to pump prime the club to compete at the top level, and to effectively settle for mid table safety, then I do hope they cash in on the profit that they will have made, and sell on to an owner with the ambition to return the club to the top level.
{Ed025's Note - if it is to happen AB lets hope it happens soon, how did we go from a sleeping giant to sleeping mediocrity?, it does seem that the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off again mate but it wont stop us all from supporting the team and hoping that David will slay Goliath once again..
22 Jul 2026 14:38:54
I think the investment last summer was strong. This summer's far from over. Moves are being made to improve the academy too. Light's still on for me lads.
{Ed025's Note - i will reserve judgement until the window closes JB..
22 Jul 2026 16:05:34
Goliath was a big, slow, lumbering slug. You kill it with pace, determination, and by being a lot smarter. Trouble is, David, David Moyes, he will play Goliath to a 0-0 draw, and claim it's a great result.
22 Jul 2026 18:35:36
The David and Goliath story was about David's courage rather than Goliaths size and prowess as a soldier. Moyes doesn't have the conviction to slay a giant. Goliath had a sword and David had a slingshot. Guns and flick knives anyone?
22 Jul 2026 21:36:43
David is big, slow, lumbering slug..
Surprised we haven't tried to sign him! What would his age be now? 3,000 or 4,000 years old? Our scouts will be all over him.
22 Jul 2026 12:30:00
Can I ask a question? How involved in our transfer is Moyes? Does he have full control over the positions, targets, and moves for players?
Or is that mostly Kinnear and co?
Assuming Moyes is involved like, but just not sure how much.
22 Jul 2026 10:47:41
Bit concerning that Moyes is still looking at Delap. I think his purchase would see Moyes gone. No better than the 2 up front at the moment and no right back to be seen. He is concentating on midfield recruitment, which is a bit mad when a right back and a goalscorer are the main two positions we desperatley need to recruit in. Another poster said about the World Cup and the silly season prices: there are a lot of players not at the World Cup who would fill those positions and not cost the ridiculous prices that now will be quoted. There are a lot of players in Norway, Sweden, Belgium and all the European players who were not picked for the World Cup were available.
But as usual we wait for the last minute and then agree rediculous prices for players who were in a World Cup or European Championship squad who didnt play, instead of agreeing deals before these championships, doing pre window deals and then not being held to ransom for mediocre players who were not involved but in these squads. Typical Everton but wee not the only ones. Could do with another centre back aswell in my opinion
22 Jul 2026 11:53:41
Other than Spence, are there any other examples of these players?
If we are buying Spence off the back of his WC, that is diabolical. If we were interested beforehand and he is one of the top choices, then get him in.
If we feel the price is inflated, then just walk away and move on - it's quite simple.
Personally, I think he is a good player but not someone I would be getting caught up on. Plenty of other RB's out there that are better players and represent much better value.
22 Jul 2026 12:18:15
As always, we put too much stock in the press tattle. There'll be a plan, we may have to be patient with a few players as they weigh up other offers. It's where we are as a club at the moment.
22 Jul 2026 12:37:47
That's the point, JB, just because we've not been linked to many players in the press doesn't mean we aren't actually trying to sign anyone. There will be a lot going on behind the scenes. I am frustrated we haven't signed a right back, given how long we've needed one, but I am hopefully, (pretty sure) , we will get one in soon.
The Delap rumours are probably well wide of the mark too, and just journalists having to write articles. I don't actually think a striker will be signed, unless one is sold.
22 Jul 2026 12:45:29
Over the last 20 years we've spent about 12 mil on the right back position. Think we've only bought Coleman and Patterson as proper right backs and there's the problem plain to see, not enough investment into the defensive weaknesses we've had for years. Let's buy tall centrebacks and squeeze them in somewhere.
22 Jul 2026 13:04:55
Moyes does have a major say in identifying targets. Delap is no better than Beto but better than Barry, although Barry was indicating both he and Beto are staying.
{Ed025's Note - thats all we need DMS...FFS..
22 Jul 2026 13:26:43
Players will need to leave before we bring more in, not necessarily for financial reasons, but because we already have squad players and aren't in Europe. When Patterson, McNeil and a couple of others go, more will come in. If we sold or loaned Barry, we'd obviously need another striker.
{Ed025's Note - just getting rid of Barry would be bonus for me JB..
22 Jul 2026 18:19:10
Ffs are we in for another season of mediocrity under dithering Dave? Thought people were saying what an amazing window for us, pie in the sky as usual, new owners same old same old.
{Ed025's Note - its early yet BB but i must admit its not looking too good at the moment mate..
22 Jul 2026 09:22:47
I think in the next 2 weeks silly season for the transfer merry go round will start. All the World Cup players will be thinking about their next move and how much money they can get.
We need to ship out a few as well as sign some more.
If Bournemouth are rejecting bids of £64m for Alex Scott it will be only be a matter of time before they accept.
Do clubs get desperate towards the end of the window and pay inflated prices or do players get cheaper because clubs are desperate to ship them out or does it just depend on the club?
21 Jul 2026 20:29:43
Couple of tumbleweeds just spotted rolling past our training ground.
{Ed025's Note - can we exchange them for Barry and Beto JB?.. :)
21 Jul 2026 20:47:50
Both scored at the weekend, Ed. We're going to win the league!
{Ed025's Note - we would be lucky to win the conference with those 2 up top JB..
21 Jul 2026 20:49:24
Good band.
22 Jul 2026 08:23:25
Two up top? With Moyes? Nice try.
21 Jul 2026 20:12:12
Finally bought tickets for me and my lad to go to BMD to watch us against Lille.
Any tips for someone who has not been to the new stadium yet (except to look through the gates whilst it was being built) ?
Anywhere decent to get dropped off/picked up from or is there nowhere in a five mile radius open to traffic?
What the food like inside (bar pricey) ?
Anything to be wary of?
Planning on getting there at 2 so can have a good look around the place.
{Ed025's Note - the parking situation is a bit of a nightmare to be honest BR, the easiest way is to get the train in and the bus out i feel, if you are getting dropped off the Eldonians and Vauxhall rd area is about the best i would say which is a 10 minute walk, the dock road and regents road is usually gridlocked mate so i would avoid getting picked up there, the food and drinks i think are pretty reasonable and its very tasty (the Korean chicken is recommended), give yourself plenty of time before and after the game and have a drink afterwards in the fanzone and wait for the crowds die down a bit before you leave i would say...and enjoy my friend..
21 Jul 2026 22:11:04
Only got up to about 7 games last season, and depends how much you want to walk from my experience.
Derby day stayed at Hampton by Hilton hotel in Hurst Street, nice walk up, and the swell of fellow Blues got bigger and bigger.
Other games we were down in the residential part near the train station and walked down, again in a growing group of fellow Toffees.
Looks a nightmare to get dropped off nearby though, along seemed to be dropped off and picked up in Costco, but even when it's not a matchday that seems tough to get out of.
Fan zone is well worth hanging out in for the atmosphere before and after the match. 💙
21 Jul 2026 23:00:38
Cheers both. Think we'll get there early and hang around to take it all in.
Used to park near the Mons in Bootle, and walk 20mins to Goodison, so don't mind the pre match amble.
Plus the lad is 8 and much fitter than me these days, so he should be fine.
Is the store open on matchdays or do they close it due to crowd size?
21 Jul 2026 21:00:11
Cheers Ed25. Got to say: I'm really looking forward to it!
{Ed025's Note - you will have a great time im sure BR, give us some feedback when you get back please mate..
22 Jul 2026 08:08:52
Get a cab to the Liver Building and walk down. It's not that far, as long as it isn't raining. 😂
22 Jul 2026 11:37:17
Store is open on match days, but the changing rooms aren't, as it's usually busy in there.
On the first game last season, me and the wife went to the Winslow and did a coach over, then walked back as we were in the shop so long and would miss the coach back. Actually didn't take too long to walk that, but was a nice day. If it had been raining it may not have been as pleasant.
😂
If you get there early, on the far side is where the team walks in, your son may enjoy that.
And there is the photos of the Everton Giants round that side as well. If you look at the front of the stadium, you go round to the left and it's in the far corner, you will also see the entrance for the players there if you walk further round.
21 Jul 2026 16:39:10
O'Brien against Fatawu next season.
21 Jul 2026 19:34:35
Jesus mate calm down. If we haven't signed a RB before the season starts then be negative and have a go but let's see what happens or doesn't happen. I don't really understand your post. Has anyone from the club said we were interested in Fatawu?
21 Jul 2026 20:15:32
It's bants, Reg.
