Everton Transfer Banter

03 Jun 2026 16:52:17
Apparently Newcastle prepared to accept a loss on Wissa.

If he was available for 20/25m, I would definitely take a look at him.

Couldn't have wished for a worse bit of luck when he got injured.

Prior to that he had a couple of solid seasons for Brentford. The lad led the line well for Brentford and can also play in the wide areas.

At 29, knows the league and still has plenty left to give.

03 Jun 2026 17:05:21
A lot of teams would have taken him this time last year BN. All depends how the injuries have affected him, I suppose.

{Ed025's Note - i think he is awful myself JB, but thats just me i suppose mate..

03 Jun 2026 17:18:16
That is the question, isn't it, JB? It was a knee issue, wasn't it?

03 Jun 2026 18:09:42
No thanks.

04 Jun 2026 15:57:54
Not on my Wissa list.

03 Jun 2026 14:52:32
For what it's worth, my brother (a West Brom supporter) watches a lot of Championship football and tells me that Hackney is one of the best if not the best player in the Championship.

03 Jun 2026 15:16:04
Hope we can get him in, good start to the transfer window and nice and early mate.

03 Jun 2026 09:44:44
Agree with yam yam. I stated in an earlier post surrounds himself with older experienced players who in the prem cant cope. The game moves on season after season and the only older players who stand up in the prem are keepers, not centre backs, fullbacks, midfield or any other position. Moyes is like Walter Smith with Gascoigne and Ginola: great players but passed there sell by date when they came to us and a young Moyes came in got shut and got Baines Coleman Piennar Cahill Jagelka all young players.

Now he seems to be Walter Smith2 and we all know what happened to him. Come on tfg sort this nonesence out or the slide back to the bottom is on the cards

02 Jun 2026 17:28:10
Slow off the mark, Again, the man, who might of made a real difference, is just about to sign on the dotted line, is joining the reds
Tfg, seem quite content with all so ran status. I despair, I really did think that they were coming in with with ambition to drive the club up to a genuine level of top flight contenders, but their focus seems to be on Roma, if that's the way it is, the sooner they sell up the better.

02 Jun 2026 17:46:57
I wanted Iraola more than anyone, but I assume he knew about Slot the whole time. Or, at least, was aware it was a possibility, and if you have the choice between our 2 clubs, it's hard to pick Everton.

02 Jun 2026 18:56:54
If you look at the TFG website, they give a good write up on Everton, as they do Roma. I do think that maybe TFG have highlighted a potential manager, but he could be tied up with World Cup duties. I guess we will have to wait until the team is knocked out or the tournament is over.

02 Jun 2026 19:49:54
Well, Palace and Fulham are on the hunt for a new manager as well.

02 Jun 2026 20:05:51
And unfortunately they will both pounce and get top managers who will move them on. Oh dear..... And I was only passing by and popped in hoping DM had gone.

02 Jun 2026 20:21:42
Sorry not yet, pal.

02 Jun 2026 22:09:27
Was never coming here and I suspect a couple of you know that. This is no longer a banter or rumour site. A pity because the eds work extremely hard across multiple forums. I have no doubt of those that post some are very knowledgable but drowned out by nonsense.

03 Jun 2026 07:49:24
Agree there dms, if only Grumpy Toffee was here.

03 Jun 2026 09:53:09
Based on that reply, I guess you would never have expected Ancelotti to have come to us?

03 Jun 2026 11:13:54
So, you want them to sell up because they never went in for a manager that 'might' have made a difference? You do realise that TFG weren't in the market for a new manager don't you?

03 Jun 2026 12:20:46
Clutching at straws nick.

04 Jun 2026 02:05:59
If they weren't in the market for a new manager, this just highlights their lack of ambition.
Moyes has done the stabilising role well, but that is as far as he is able to take us.

{Ed025's Note - a lot think like that AB..

04 Jun 2026 23:51:02
Iraola was never coming to us after the season he had. We would have needed to go after him last season, but it wouldn't have been possible given we had Moyes the job 6 months earlier. Plus, he wouldn't have come at Christmas, given our plight and Bournemouth doing much better than us.



We may as well be saying we want Pep and how disappointed we are he didn't choose us as his next project.

02 Jun 2026 15:41:01
As I understand it, it’s another season loan and then he’s on a free as he’s out of contract in June 2027.

02 Jun 2026 17:31:58
Surely we will have to pay some sort of fee to City for this deal though? Like we did with Gareth Barry.

02 Jun 2026 18:24:09
City only wanted his wages covered last season. Possibly the same deal?

02 Jun 2026 22:18:56
Covered his wages! Didn't know that. For me, it is a no. Good player, but have to play at his pace.

02 Jun 2026 22:29:24
We barely covered half his wages in original deal..

02 Jun 2026 15:18:53
Sorry but I have never been a fan of Tammy Abraham. Had a decent period in the early part of his career and, to me, has been a journey man striker ever since. I personally do not believe he brings anymore than Beto does to this team.

If we are gonna spend a sizeable sum of money on a striker, I want it to be a fairly big upgrade on what we have up top already. What say my fellow Evertonians? I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject.

02 Jun 2026 16:46:22
I watched him a few times for Villa only on TV, but wasn't impressed. Seemed miles off the pace.
Id try and get someone like Solankie, he's not been playing much as coming back from injury, but definitely looks a threat. Never know till you try.

02 Jun 2026 17:28:23
Not a fan of either myself tbh, Solanke has been poor for Spurs, missed loads of chances and his touch and hold up play has regressed since leaving Bournemouth.

02 Jun 2026 14:20:02
My lad tells me Jack is still completing his recovery at Finch Farm. As he's now officially a City player again, wouldn't this suggest that he's intending to stay with us next season? Hope so.

02 Jun 2026 16:10:26
Good news that JB we have missed him these last few games.

02 Jun 2026 17:28:38
Hope so, been very good for us.

02 Jun 2026 13:43:01
Wow I see Everton have a 97% renewal on season tickets for the 2026/7 season so far, good to see that.

02 Jun 2026 22:23:40
Don't play in Guernsey GB.

02 Jun 2026 13:26:10
97% of season ticket renewal rate has already been achieved apparently. That's approximately 38, 000 fans.
Everton supporters are like a loyal dog, keep kicking it and it will still come back time after time with the hope that one day you will give it a cuddle instead.

02 Jun 2026 12:26:30
Rumour about Illiman most worrying. Alcarez wanting to leave too, George looking like he is going back to Chelsea. Aznou, Dibling and Armstrong frozen out. Surely the board can detect a pattern here unless they are wearing the same rose coloured glasses as several on here. We have/ had the makings of a half decent squad here if players had been given a chance minus Beavis and Butthead up front.

Carsley rates Dibling, Moyes not, Patterson good enough for Scotland but not for us. Anzou good enough for Morocco, not for us. I am dreading this summer window as not only will we potentially lose our younger talent but no one under 30 will want to join us. I want to be positive and upbeat but I fear the writing is on the wall.

02 Jun 2026 13:43:50
Unfortunately I have to agree. The situation we find ourselves in is totally depressing.
We have a much stronger squad this year, yet Moyes thinks that finishing in 13th place again and one point better off is progress. Well, I beg to differ.
There's no doubt that the majority of supporters are of the opinion that Moyes should go, but TFG will stick with him. I really don't trust him with our transfer funds, and also fear that he will stick with Barry, who is not only the worst striker I can remember at our club, but is probably the worst striker I can remember in the Premier League.

I don't care if we give him away as long as he goes. I know some people say that he's young, but he's 24 in a few months and should be entering his prime. To put things into perspective, he's a month or so older than Alcaraz, and I don't hear people saying he's only young and needs more time. The difference being Alcaraz has ability and Barry doesn't, but for some reason his face doesn't seem to fit with Moyes.

02 Jun 2026 16:53:48
Or maybe they haven't been good enough of late and Moyes has told them so. Players don't like being told off, they just like picking up thousands of pounds a week and told how good they are. Charlie has done nothing since he's joined, and Illiman has all the flash and no end product towards the end, he cost us big points in our last 6 or 7 games, so not sure what all the fuss is about.

6 goals, 2 assist, Grelsih 2 goal 8 assists I think and been out half the season. Loads of players out there with flashy feet but not many out there with goals and assists. Bowen has good numbers in a team that got religated. I get why people like him going past players ect ect, but no end product may as well hooffed it up the pitch and hope for the best.

02 Jun 2026 19:04:43
Not quite sure how you can say they have not been good enough as they have had little or zero minutes. There is a definite split on here between Moyes can do no wrong and ffs please go. We have had cover and the people to replace under performing players but Moyes keeps on playing his favourites regardless of performance and continually playing square pegs in round holes. We cannot have done any worse if Aznou had played left back, O'Brien had played centre back and George and Dibling had replaced McNeil.

God forbid we drop Beto and Barry and play a false nine with Aznou, Ndiaye, Dibling and George or Armstrong. Results could not have been any worse and maybe we could get an accurate picture of these players. Not Moyes sees them in training ffs. Can only think McNeil, 16 and Tarkowski and Keane must be f****** awesome in training.

03 Jun 2026 11:21:15
'Several' on here are just realistic, not as depressed as the others who have been screaming and shouting like toddlers for something that was never going to happen. The problem is that the squad, as a whole, is probably where it was always going to be after one phase of a rebuild. Is it really that hard to comprehend for some of you?

As for the majority want him gone, would 97% of season ticket holders renewed if that was the case? I think it works out that around 1k have chosen to give their tickets up, that's not a majority unless you're a politician.

03 Jun 2026 14:49:47
The operative word in your piece is Squad! That is why I and many others are upset, because he refuses to rotate and give recognised players a chance to show what they can do. Aznou is the perfect example. Why play O'Brien when we have a recognised left back. It seems it's a perfect case of if your face fits and f*** all to with whether they are premier ship ready.

We are in danger of becoming a laughing stock and the players that leave out of frustration will come back to haunt us. Just because my opinion differs to yours does not make me a toddler.

03 Jun 2026 20:05:35
The board haven't sacked the manager yet, and that outcome doesn't seem likely, so it's time some just accepted the fact and moved on. You don't have to like it, but until TFG pull the trigger then that is our reality. It's the summer window, let's get back to arguing over which transfer rumour has legs!
