Everton Transfer Banter

24 Jul 2026 18:26:56
I hear we are after Roy of the Rovers. Think it might be just speculation.

24 Jul 2026 21:25:53
Probably true. He's 72 this year, was initially in the Tiger 11th September 1954. Moyes will love him.

24 Jul 2026 17:44:03
Everything we know as Idrissa Gana Gueye finalising move to seal Everton exit. This is about right tbh.

24 Jul 2026 16:33:32
Still need a rb more than an Idrissa replacement. Got loads of midfielders.

24 Jul 2026 23:05:15
Ruhl RB Patterson understudy. Need a LW and RW. Think Moyes will keep Beto, not sure on Barry. George can play striker.

25 Jul 2026 10:49:32
Rohl would be wasted at right back and Patterson clearly isn't good enough.
We most definitely need a RB.

25 Jul 2026 13:07:40
He will play RB or sit on the bench (Season start) , Dog Peter.

24 Jul 2026 16:27:49
Looks like Guyre is off reading it will be this week, he’s been good for us but has slowed up recently. Wish him all the best.

24 Jul 2026 16:22:04
Just a thought on strikers, I have never seen him play as a 'striker' but it is said George has played that role.

24 Jul 2026 14:57:24
The numbers that prove Mohamed Amoura is what Everton are crying out for bluenose opium shots.

25 Jul 2026 07:19:07
Never heard of him.

24 Jul 2026 11:46:02
Realistically, should we let Ndiaye go? He's brilliant on the ball, and is one of our only reliable creative sparks, but the numbers don't match what I'm seeing. Being tricky and unpredictable on the ball doesn't translate to goals, and if someone is willing to pay big money, couldn't we build better without him? Just a thought.

24 Jul 2026 12:27:04
I've always said, no one player is bigger than the team. Often, once a player starts making noises about wanting bigger and better, it's the beginning of the end. Be great if he stayed and kicked on, but if he goes, we must accept nothing less than top dollar. Any bids under 80 million should be laughed off.

24 Jul 2026 14:23:58
Personally id like him to stay, but if he wants to go and we can get 70+ million for him, id sell, like above, he has a lot of tricks but his numbers aren't great.

24 Jul 2026 14:31:53
Same as that, he goes, we want top dollar.

24 Jul 2026 14:51:04
The fee has to be right by today's market. It's reported that his representatives want a £40million clause. That's way too low now that players are going for over £100million. We have him for another 3 seasons, so no need to panic. I'd say offers north of £75million would be a realistic base line.

24 Jul 2026 15:41:49
He's been great for us, but I get a sense that he will go to another club and end up doing not so well. Thrives with the ball at his feet, but often it leads to nothing.

24 Jul 2026 15:45:36
Only way we should accept a 40m clause is if it's only activated in his final year of his contract.

24 Jul 2026 16:20:36
Always thought of him as a 10, but then we have no wingers.

24 Jul 2026 08:32:40
I still think there will be a few surprise signings that the papers haven't got hold of yet.

Everyone's focused on the big money signings like Anderson Rogers etc. We're going to be looking in the £30m bracket which, let's face it, isn't going to gather the same attention and the fact it's us, no one really cares about us anymore.



I think it'll be like Kdh when he signed last season and no one saw that coming, I didn't know too much about him and thought we could've got a better signing but I'm happy to be proven wrong as he's been class.

24 Jul 2026 09:10:36
I wonder if our business is being held up by potential sales. If someone like Ndayie pushes for a move, then our budget would change significantly, and we may then sign different players that are more expensive?

{Ed025's Note - it could be that JB, or it could be that we are very dozy as always with our transfers and we are looking for bargain basement deals at the last minute, then buy 3- 15 year old kids who wont be ready for 8 years and a couple of over the hill has-beens and declare it a success, sorry for not being overwhelmed at this point guys..

24 Jul 2026 09:20:54
Surely things are gonna turn toxic pretty quickly this season if we haven't got a rb in place? Just a thought. No Branthwaite means Keane and Tarky, obviously, Myko as lb seems to have been forgotten about.


And if we are so lucky as to create a chance, it will be Big bad Barry or Beto to finish it. I'd be amazed and absolutely gutted if we are not trying to sign a new striker.

{Ed025's Note - you have got my juices flowing now SARB.. :)

24 Jul 2026 09:39:25
Hahahaha, I'm only laughing as otherwise I'll cry!

24 Jul 2026 11:01:06
The Club said at the beginning they would try to balance incoming with outgoing. In any case, it will take at least another year or two before the Stadium starts accruing significant revenue in the plus column. Our owners' team are doing an excellent job and getting better.

24 Jul 2026 11:11:27
He doesn't seem to like Aznou either, I thought he did okay against the Scots. Mind you, I didn't see anything from Dibling but others thought he was the gnats. What do I know.

24 Jul 2026 11:57:50
Completely agree on the stadium revenue point, these things take time.

Nice to see a realistic view point. ??

24 Jul 2026 12:08:20
The naming rights, higher match day income and new sponsors will all be having a positive impact already and this should only improve. We still have to balance the books, of course, but fully expect to see several outgoings and incomings. Fully understand the frustration that more haven't come in already, but realistically, how many Prem teams have finished their business? I'd say none.

24 Jul 2026 07:59:22
As a keen follower of Scottish football and Everton fan, I was slagged on this sight for saying that Nathan Patterson was simply not good enough for Everton when he signed - not sure I would get the same stick now. If we sign Alastair Johnston from Celtic, I would say the complete opposite - class act who would be the ideal replacement for Coleman!

24 Jul 2026 08:44:09
Cheers ES, good to get some inside info. Do you know what the transfer fee would be? I still think we need two right backs.

24 Jul 2026 09:12:33
Also watch Scottish footie. He is a good player, but I haven't seen any actual link, just made up sources. But he definitely would improve our team 100%. Amazed we didn't look at Daizen Meada for £10m, suspect we will regret that.

24 Jul 2026 10:04:14
You are spot on there, Sarb. Absolute steal. Could have been another Naismith type signing. Full of effort and desire, and chips in with important goals. Would have been great business, but fair play to Ipswich.

24 Jul 2026 11:02:04
Wouldn't the officials notice?

24 Jul 2026 11:15:58
From Scotland, we should be all over Nico Raskin for 20 mil great wee player.

24 Jul 2026 07:12:47
Is this the worst window ever? One new signing from the Championship and still no right back. But on the plus side, I read that dithering Dave really enjoyed the WC.

24 Jul 2026 08:33:26
I'm with you, mate. After all the chat last season about players coming in late, I would have thought all our ducks would have been in order and we would have got at least another 3 in by now.

24 Jul 2026 08:45:53
I would think things will start happening in the next week or so. As usual, the big clubs make their moves first, spend hundreds of millions not caring about the rules that don't apply to them and then the rest of us start making our moves in August.
