Just read a piece about the possible signing of Daniel Jebbison. Apparently whilst he might not make an immediate impact, he meets the new Everton criterion, " he couldn't be worse than Maupay". Is this what it has come to?
{Ed025's Note - a mannequin would be better than Maupay Glennk..
1.) 30 Jul 2023 08:00:37
Think from Dyche’s comments it’s now time to look at our second tier choice of strikers hence Jebbison and others will start to be mentioned. Worrying times, we need a striker now who will get 10+ goals. Think we are now looking at potentials who are no better than kids we’ve allowed out on Liam or sold eg Simms/ Cannon etc.
2.) 30 Jul 2023 08:56:00
Has Cannon gone?
{Ed025's Note - not as far as i know DFS, but there is a lot of interest in him mate..
3.) 30 Jul 2023 09:05:13
Ed002/ 25 have already explained this. The Club are active but the wage bill has to come down: ergo free and loans are the objective. They don't want to but best strategy is to wait until Clubs have filled their squads and need to lighten, hopefully we can recruit a gem or two.
{Ed025's Note - spot on DFS..
4.) 30 Jul 2023 11:08:40
Sounds very defeatest dyche saying we have tried but haven't got in anyone . Even with a few bob for gray I don't see us spending it. Wonder is like us not expecting much in. If so oh dear.
{Ed002's Note - Maybe you should tell him about Young and Danjuma. Everton will continue to look at adding players - particularly a striker. And stop going on about the finances. Get wages off the books - sort out Dele Alli.}
5.) 30 Jul 2023 12:47:34
Cannon will probably leave on loan. God knows what's going through Dyche head that he allows Cannon to leave and persists with Maupay.
6.) 30 Jul 2023 14:45:20
I am not sure it’s persisting with Maupay more lumbered with him
If we could shift Maupay, Gomes, Gbamin and Alli we are looking at lightening the wage bill by £400k per week
And as it stands none of those will impact the first team, well Maupay might play but won’t make an impact ?.
7.) 30 Jul 2023 16:36:02
Just had Talk Sport on in the car. A 10 minute spell about us mugging Dyche off and how he must be fuming at bein sold a pup. They debated whether Dyche should have recognised the warning signs as they named us "Burnley 2" The conclusion was that Dyche would have been told half truths at best as he'd not knowingly taken us on as we can't afford deals. He's no Rafa so he's had to keep trotting out the same line "we are actively working very hard in the background to get players in" a club in the top flight of the biggest and most lucrative league in the history of world football shouldn't be struggling to sign a striker. We will be operating in the loan and OAP market. Don't even bother clicking on any article claiming we are close to signing this or that when any fee is involved in the headline. This club is a joke and FM better never show his face or have the audacity to release a statement to the fans ever again. He can't even find a buyer for the club when buyers are falling over eachother to buy into English football.
8.) 30 Jul 2023 16:56:12
Summed up perfectly FBS. Echo's my opinions on the whole situation.
9.) 30 Jul 2023 18:34:39
Wasn't there something from a Government department about ownership! I hasten to add, I do not know. Our troubles certainly increased once sanctions were imposed. Perhaps potential investors have been doing their homework.
07 Jan 2019 16:38:03
I see that Victor has had his contract terminated in China for reportedly standing out against match fixing. He says that he would come and play for nothing. I would like to see the club offer him a contract until the end of the season.
Firstly, in support of one of its own and secondly as a public statement that the club stands squarely against corrupt practices.
1.) 07 Jan 2019 20:53:13
great shout mate, even to be with the 23s like baxter did keep fitness and find new club in summer.
06 Aug 2018 22:41:46
I feel cautiously optimistic. There appears to be a plan in place. I do not expect that it will make it to reality in tact; no plan ever does. I don't expect it to work perfectly; no plan ever does. But we look like we have a plan and right now that makes me happy.

Time to finish the post that my busy fingered daughter sent this morning before I finished it.
I've been thinking (never good news). I want to look at this situation not from an Evertonian but an Allardyce perspective.
Fair to say that there was some oppostion to his appointment. The against camp would argue that he came with a reputation as a "money grabber" and a defensive, hoof it and hope coach.
Allardyce proponents would argue that he was a victim of circumstance. He had cut his coat according to his cloth and at the clubs he hsd managed he'd had only very low grade cloth available. I think the Allardyce camp woild argue that there was evidence at Bolton, Okocha et al, that given the opportunity he was not a one dimensional coach.
They would also argue that this was his chance to alter his legacy. An opportunity with a club that has some resource and would allow him to show that his previous clubs had forced him to stiflehis desire to play a progressive style of football because of their desperate need for results and inability to attract the type of player that he might prefer.
If we accept the pro Allardyce case that he was constrained by circumstance in the past and now he has the opportunity to break free of those shackles and once and for all destroy the image of him as a money grabber (see his England demise) and a negative coach (see West Ham inter alia).
If that is his position, do you think that we are yet in a position to say he has achieved that? If not what do you think are the signs that he might yet?
1.) 25 Jan 2018 22:55:39
It’s very simple Glennk.
Time will tell.
2.) 26 Jan 2018 10:22:58
He came into a mess left by a highly reputable manager and adopted a completely unbalanced team, low on confidence, with a lack of cohesion and who were completely strugglingwith relegation fear rearing its ugly head. i'm mot a SA fan really to be honest, i didn't want him and don't think he is long term (what is these days though? ) But perspective needs to be added whem judging him. Too early yet to say.
14 Jan 2017 04:32:11
Just read the list of clubs for which 24 yr old Belfodil has played. Very nervous. Either he's a twat or his agent is and he's a bit of a numb nuts and trails round wherever his agent points him.
1.) 14 Jan 2017 07:40:04
Sorted himself out a bit at Liege, by the looks of things.
2.) 14 Jan 2017 09:05:39
Mayou be wrong but I heard he previously had problems as he was owned by a third party that caused issues. But either way, he does seem to be doing better
3.) 14 Jan 2017 11:06:27
I think his many moves has been down to his agent. The stalling point on him coming to us is down to the agent. Some of them have far too much influence over players and do not always act with the players best interests at heart.
4.) 14 Jan 2017 19:11:23
If anybody wants to know why every Everton transfer becomes a dog and pony show, the answer is Bill Kenwright, Bill, for god sake step away. Some people think he's wonderful, mr everton, other are (lets be kind) less convinced, but which ever camp you fall into, surely it must be recognised that it is time for him to step away from an active roll.

If when Moyes came back you'd told me that we'd be where we are now at this stage of the season, I'd not have believed you. It's been a remarkable recovery. However, in my opinion it has just cleared ghe decks. With the number of players out of contract, the real work starts now. As important a closed season as there has ever been.
1.) 10 May 2025 20:24:05
I’m amazed we got to 42 points Glennk. If we finish 13th then it was a decision well made.
2.) 10 May 2025 20:25:55
The work’s going on behind the scenes. Going well, should go even better when we clear out and improve. Every reason to feel confident. When was the last time we could say that?
3.) 10 May 2025 21:24:43
With you on that JB mate.
15 Apr 2025 08:23:00
For reasons that aren't even apparent to me, I've started thinking about players who were the best thing since sliced bread until they weren't. The kind of players of whom it could be said, "he had a promising career behind him". The first two names to mind were Jack Rodwell and Mark Higgins followed by James Vaughan. I would also include Steve Seargeant. Any and all contributions welcome.
1.) 15 Apr 2025 12:42:45
Definitely Ross Barkley.
2.) 15 Apr 2025 13:32:14
Danny cadamarteri, scored against Liverpool.
3.) 15 Apr 2025 14:38:52
Jose Baxter and Billy Kenny spring to mind mate.
4.) 15 Apr 2025 16:20:24
Thought Steve Seargent was pretty good actually, didn't fade just went to USA league in its' infancy.
5.) 15 Apr 2025 16:35:52
Luke Garbutt thought he was going to be a belting fullback.
6.) 15 Apr 2025 18:33:49
Me to Ron. Thought Garbutt was going to be a top player.
7.) 15 Apr 2025 18:58:33
Think he is at Salford now after many othet clubs.
{Ed025's Note - you just cant tell with youngsters RON, look at the likes of Barkley and Kenny...has the world at their feet and blew it by going off the rails..
8.) 15 Apr 2025 19:41:21
Kieran McDowell. He looked like he had something special about him but he just didn't kick on. Not sure how he got on at Birmingham this season.
9.) 15 Apr 2025 19:47:10
Too much money to young. i was talking to Barry bannan when he was 17 on loan at Blackpool from villa he was on £5000 a week and hadn't even played a game for villa. madness.
10.) 15 Apr 2025 20:55:07
I liked Stevie Seargeant. Thought he was way better than Lyons.
11.) 15 Apr 2025 21:25:07
Joe williams, ryan lesson. Francis Jeffery. Billy Kenny probably the best example of wasting a career. Lad could of been brilliant but chose a different path.
12.) 15 Apr 2025 23:14:04
Ademola lookman, niles nkonkou oh wait no they actually made it.
23 Feb 2025 08:52:14
Does anyone know if it's true that Maguire and de Ligt are to face criminal charges. Assaulting a pensioner in a penalty area?
{Ed025's Note - love it Glenn..
22 Feb 2025 15:25:35
Beginning to believe that VAR is just bad decisions made by different people.
1.) 23 Feb 2025 07:18:57
That was a deliberate decision to not show the two shirt pull angles on pitchside monitor. De Ligts in particular impeded Young.
15 Feb 2025 19:32:08
Does anyone know who the guy is that's playing in Beto's body?
1.) 15 Feb 2025 19:34:29
What a result. Top stuff.
2.) 15 Feb 2025 19:34:37
Moyes! ???.
15 Apr 2025 20:55:07
I liked Stevie Seargeant. Thought he was way better than Lyons.
15 Mar 2025 20:55:35
I remember Bernie Wright. Brett Angel wasn't that far behind.
{Ed025's Note - two players never to be mentioned in any football context Glen..
14 Feb 2025 16:01:28
My best would be the Alex Young header against Spurs to win the game and seal the title 62-63.
14 Feb 2025 09:00:58
It may not have been our cup final but it was a watershed moment. We have had a decent run but that was a game that, had we taken the Dyche approach of defend and hope to nick a point, we would probably have been hammered and sunk back towards the Slough of despond. Instead we stood up and accepted the challenge. Big step forward psychologically.
05 Jan 2025 17:00:18
I'm now trying to imagine someone in the dressing room before the game, probably Tarkowski, shaking a clenched fist and shouting, "C'mon lads let's go out and draw with these persons. "
