Richy for Everton latest.
02 Aug 2026 08:44:43
Hope not, GB, it would be yet another stupid signing by the club.
02 Aug 2026 09:05:43
Not for me either.
02 Aug 2026 09:30:58
Still better than anything we have up front. He scores goals for starters! If we're improving the team then I'm all for it.
02 Aug 2026 09:52:20
I know this one splits opinion. Personally, I'd love to see him back in a blue shirt. He's better than what we have and would run through a brick wall for us.
{Ed025's Note - if it was a loan or a small fee i would be all for it JB, but i suspect Spurs would want a hefty fee and his wage would have to be considered as its bound to be high mate..

Richarlison scored for Watford, Everton and Spurs all in the Premier League. That’s a priceless quality when acquiring a striker. Re-signing players doesn’t always work, but to take away the worry of whether he’d score or not when signing the striker is Golden, in my view. If there’s a chance to sign him, then I’m for it.
02 Aug 2026 10:46:22
He's only got a year left on his contract, so the fee shouldn't be astronomical. At 29, he should still have a good few years left in him too. Any striker of his quality would demand a decent wage. De Zebri said 'he knows where he wants to go'. Hoping that means he's asked for a move back to us.
02 Aug 2026 10:55:10
I agree, mate. Unfortunately, right now I don't think we are going to attract the players we want as fans. We have struggled in the bottom half of the league now for years, and the way we ended the season last year hasn't done us any favours.
If we had a choice, between Barry, Beto or say Delap or Richarlison, I would take Richarlison all day.
I don't have faith in our recruitment team finding some hidden gem like Bournemouth do etc.
So, based on those factors, if we got a chance to take him, I would.
He knows the club, scores goals and is a million times better than what we have or, by the looks of it so far, what we might be able to attract or afford.
02 Aug 2026 11:23:46
Yep, be really good to have him back again, hope this happens.
02 Aug 2026 10:46:52
All but guaranteed 15 goal involvements a season and 100% guaranteed proper graft for the shirt.
As Ed said, the only thing that would make this deal not make sense is the fee Spurs would be after.
If he is 25m or below, it would make absolute sense.
02 Aug 2026 12:12:34
If Richy clearly wants to leave, then get him in asap. I don't need to add anything, as BN has spelt it out, can't believe some on here don't want him in, so Barry, Beto, Delap or Richy? The mind boggles.
02 Aug 2026 12:54:48
You do all know DM would play Richy at right back.
02 Aug 2026 12:43:31
I believe this question still tops one of the sites categories. Delap or Rikky? All players go through an injury spell and he's had a bad 18months but seems to have been ok since Christmasish? he's fantastic at winning free kicks, him and Grealish would win us many around the box. He frustrates the old skool who thinks you shouldn't go down without a broke leg but the game has moved this way since the late 80s when the cute gamemanship became a thing. We can stand and wag our fingers and demand fairness and lose out or we can get 2 of the best at it. he's actually very tough and we can all atest to witnessing some robust tackles he takes. Sure he rolls and sulks but he then gets up and is fine. 29 is a perfect age for a striker in the modern game, strikers have become the new keepers and seem to not reach their top until their 30s fact.
I actually think he's got a Suadi move or a return home before us but we should be in for him. Can play striker or LW and even when struggling with fitness in a relegation zone team for 2 years, scores and assists more than our current forwards, he was also pretty handy when defending corners. We shouldn't be concerned with wages, its not our concern. And to stick that argument further down those throats, shirt sales would see a boon. Him losing his start spot for Brazil is also a positive and gives him motivation to get back to be their main striker. That will only be a positive to whatever club signs him. £30m+ for Delap allegedly demanded by CFC.
Rikky would be cheaper considering he wants to go and has 1 year left. Also knows the 1 up top EFC hardworking role. No brainer for me. Doubt it'll happen but i'd be behind this over any other rumour. People seem to expect us to do a Howard or a Leicester and challenge the title out of nowhere. The ones of us a little less delusional want a solid top 10 finish and a decent cups runs and who knows? Maybe finally delete our dire league cup histories? We were on our ass, then we got back up and started to walk, now let's see if we can do a little light jog? Sprinting? that's possibly too far away for the clutch of proper old dudes here and that's almost certainly what's driving their ridiculous posts. Sorry guys but unless you do a Walt Disney, you probably ain't going to see the return to the top. Just be glad you did in the past and stop beating the back in my day drum.
Also I think the recent shot at the moaners isn't anything more than the few new users who seem to be only posting about the manager, daily and repeatedly. Its professional trolling and in this media age its easy to spot. We are all here moaning but this new breed are sticking out like a cartoon thumb and its tedious and cynical attempts at causing divisions. Anyone who bites is playing into their hands. And i'm glad to see these users rarely get a thumbs up. If we ignore them they will continue for a while with a series of user accounts and then will go away. In the words of Rik Mayall 'stop talking to the fuk99g fish'
{Ed025's Note - a very enjoyable read that FBS..
02 Aug 2026 13:10:34
Cheers 25.
02 Aug 2026 13:58:47
FBS 100% correct.
02 Aug 2026 14:16:58
FBS spot on, mate.
02 Aug 2026 15:30:33
Let's be honest.. the 2 we have playing up front for us are not good enough for Everton.. full stop. Anyone who thinks they are ok wants their head testing. We cannot settle for this crap for another season.. Richarlison all the way.. take a loss on the other two, just get shut.
{Ed025's Note - im with you Steve..
02 Aug 2026 16:30:04
Why not keep Baz? Has plenty of time. Looked ok to me in Germany, but Beto must go and a main 9 Must come next month.
{Ed025's Note - keep BAZ?, i know hes young FBS but you cant make silk purse out of a sows ear mate..
02 Aug 2026 17:01:15
Ricky is a good striker and if he was cheap then I'd be happy to have him back. However, anything above 15m with his age, contract and injuries, then it's a no for me.
Delap is a no. His price is only 30m because he's English and Barry is a better prospect for me.
Barry is going to be a good striker. Even in pre season he's scored 1, should have been two only for a poor linesman call and an assist.
He's getting more physical in games and his confidence is improving. Beto is a lovely fella, but he is so short in many areas he doesn't have time to learn.
Our problem isn't a striker, though, it's getting the ball to the strikers. The way Moyes plays and always played means they have to live on scraps. So we need players to improve the supply chain.
{Ed025's Note - i get the supply thing John but for me Barry is the worst forward ever to wear a blue shirt mate, and that includes every team who play in blue in the world mate..
02 Aug 2026 17:10:29
I'd welcome Richy back if he wanted to come and Spurs don't have us over a barrel with a deal..
He knows where the net is and Barry and Beto have struggled to locate it. I'm getting so desperate for goals, I'd even consider Delap!
Loan Barry and see if he improves.
02 Aug 2026 17:38:26
Fair today. 25, but out of all the business we need, for me, he's low priority and, yes, has many years before he should be considered an Everton raspberry. Or a blue of any blue club in the world. As 3rd choice, as I believe he was intended, he's absolutely a long term investment. People bang on about what they think of players' market value, and make statements about fees as if they're clued up. We paid a lot for him, and to throw him away for a big loss seems the only sure fact of poor financial management.
He represents last season's failures, and I think it's harsh. His buddies made it more justified to hate him, and yes, he has a face only a mother could love. Give him a break, and one day he could be the next Moise K or Lookman or Villic or Robinson or and repeat infinitum. We are kid destroyers, let's be a bit more circumspect?
{Ed025's Note - i like to think i know a lemon when i see one FBS, i wanted so much to see him do well mate but i cant find a single attribute that makes me feel he could be a decent player...not one..
02 Aug 2026 18:11:49
Barry will come good.. I think he just needs a bit of confidence and to grow up - same as Dibling. We'll regret it if we sold either!
02 Aug 2026 19:05:52
Dibling, no chance, looks like a little boy lost. Barry has the skill with ball at feet, works hard in training, alone and with the squad by all accounts, but he moves like a puppet on a string. Any of the top boys who had done that backheel would have been lauded.
02 Aug 2026 20:18:15
Dibling is garbage, and I did tell everyone on here last year when he was linked, we were buying him cos he had a good half hour against Liverpool, which seems to be all it takes for our scouts to be all in! Although one of the posters on here did call me out about how wrong I was, think he likened him to a top drawer player too as a comparison.
Safe to say whoever it was has gone very quiet!
02 Aug 2026 20:22:17
I thought Barry held onto the ball too long and could have played it to others. The back heel, though, looks impressive, was behind Rohl and it was his good footwork that led to the goal.
I'm not sure on Barry. Give him a season in the Championship to hone his skills. Then see if he has improved at all.
As for Dibbers, I'm at a loss. The kid has had issues away from Southampton in the past.
He is highly regarded by some, but looks lost on the pitch. Is that because he's in the wrong position or he's just not very good with our tactics? My mate is a Saints fan and says they have robbed us and Fernandez was the better prospect. Send him to the Championship for some experience and hope he comes good.
{Ed025's Note - lets get one thing straight...this is not Tylers fault that we paid that much money for him, the ones to blame are our scouting network and the guys who negotiated the deal, he may come good of course but at the moment i would say that is looking very doubtful..
02 Aug 2026 20:52:58
Spot on Ed25. It's not the kids fault - he's clearly had struggles in the past away from home and it wouldn't surprise me if he has the same now.
It would be good to see him have a few games in the 10 role to see if that is a better fit. Sticking him on the wing where he struggles isn't helping.
He needs game time to build confidence and all we are doing is making it worse by throwing him on and him not getting into the game. Try him in the championship like Armstrong and see what happens. See if Saints will have him on loan for the season
We have to forget his price tag at the moment and treat him like a professional player who is contracted to the club and we want to get the best out of him now and for the future. In my opinion he needs to develop his game and regain his confidence.
{Ed025's Note - i think a loan is the only option now BR..
04 Aug 2026 08:25:40
I do wish this club's supporters would stop moaning about young players being rubbish based on a few minutes here and there. It's almost like they want them to fail just so they can say I told you so.
One example is Barry, a young man in a new country, playing for, let's be honest, an average team. Being asked to chase long balls up the pitch all day.
Now, in his last game he fought for the ball, won it and moved forward.
He didn't just blast it aimlessly at the goal but held on to it until support arrived and then played a back heel that, if it had been Ndiaye who had done it, you would all be raving about it.
Let's stop this, writing young players off after just one season and maybe three or four games, and start actually supporting them. We all thrive from positive remarks, it's the negativity that kills us.
