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?

Glennk

{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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Glennk

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.

Does anyone know if Calvert-Lewin managed to finish his dinner?

Glennk

1.) 12 Feb 2024 14:36:46
I heard he tried to have some cake but sliced it badly….


2.) 12 Feb 2024 15:42:51
He wanted some crackers but they fell apart in the box.


3.) 12 Feb 2024 16:18:20
I can remember Richarlison getting the same stick when he was asked to play up top on his own.


4.) 12 Feb 2024 20:51:19
Not sure Ricky went 18 games without scoring Woburn B mate.


5.) 12 Feb 2024 21:52:45
Maybe not GB but he got plenty of abuse mate, and for the same reason DCL is getting it.
We have no creative midfielders, and we don’t have wingers who can beat a man and cross a ball. Yet it’s all the lone strikers fault?


6.) 12 Feb 2024 21:52:54
Dom’s an out and out number 9. Scoring goals is his job.


7.) 12 Feb 2024 22:04:29
He did at Watford GB and more.

DCL is on a terrible run granted but as stated by others we lack creativity and don't get the balls into him early enough to attack from wide imo and he his fed crumbs at best. He is a valuable member of the team and offers more than Beto. No coincidence that Maupay struggled up top on his own when DCL was out, we lack flair, pace and confidence ATM.

Am going on record to state he scores V Palace Monday (if he starts) .


8.) 12 Feb 2024 22:45:00
He should be scoring at home against Palace. If he does, that doesn’t erase the run up to it. He’s missed a lot of chances during that run, chances created by others. I hope he scores of course, he’s shown before he can make the difference in games.


9.) 13 Feb 2024 09:41:42
JB he's missed collectively a number of chances over the 18 games but his blatant chances per game is pitifully low. As someone stated yesterday (maybe here maybe somewhere else) Salah gets given 5-7 clear chances a game and misses many of them as too Haaland. Diaz? He's love but he misses countless times a match. Even in the 3 games Toney has been back, he's missed one on ones. DCL is having a bad run but he plays in a team that makes him run all over and maybe with a fluke deflection he is presented with 1 fair chance per game. Lobbing balls and pinging balls randomly across the box isn't great. Basically he's been completely coached out of the masters simple advice. The master who over saw his only great season. "Strikers stay between the posts" in Italian accent. Hmmmm "come to own half and keep the line and chase and harry and put in the hard yards" in Mutleys accent.


10.) 13 Feb 2024 10:58:50
Totally agree FBS, it would help him if we had a Siggy, James on set pieces, Digne or younger coleman galavanting down the flanks supplying the ammunition, Richy doing the tireless running of the channels to allow Dom to stay central and do what he does best knock ons hold play up and bring others into play, runners off him and poaching within the box.


11.) 13 Feb 2024 12:04:19
I take your points lads. Not quite as I see it. He does work hard, that should be a prerequisite of any number 9 at Everton. We have wide men getting the ball in the box, of course not at the same quality as other teams, but the stats show that we do create chances. Dom should have scored chances he’s missed in those games in my opinion. Let’s hope he starts on Monday evening.


12.) 13 Feb 2024 13:29:22
Let's hope he does JB think we can all agree we need Dom back on the goalscoring trail to help us in our relegation scrap or top 10 push (depending on outcome of appeal) ????.

Really hope we get some news this week on that and we can kick on as a club 1 way or another as certainly brought unrest to the club and maybe with clarity and a change on luck comes a change of luck for Dom and co.

DCL 1st goalscorer V Palace ?.


13.) 13 Feb 2024 15:27:45
That's backed up factually Mocker by the fact we took 2 years to score from a direct free kick and a dead ball special-ist is what we are crying out for. Putting in 20 crosses a game is one thing but they are over hit, played behind or blazed out for goal kicks or throw ins. Quantity or quality? It's probably lucky we haven't had any penalties as we really don't have the equipment required to benefit from them. As for the prerequisite of an Everton 9 to work hard? Nah, they need to score goals. Just like the best 9s always have. One job to do is score. I don't want a hard working 9 who doesn't score. Absolutely bonkers opinion. But if I'm aligned with the greatest CL manager of all time then I'm probably not in bad company.


14.) 13 Feb 2024 16:00:10
A set pieces special-ist is a must FBS especially with our set-up and size of players, we carry a big threat with the likes of Dom, Tarks, Jarrod, Onana, Doucoure all big lads and decent in air but as you say so many times our crosses are over hit.

Don't mind a hard working number 9 so long as others are chipping in, Dom isn't a clinical finisher and thrives on balls into the box early, even the season with Carlo at the helm a lot of those goals were from keeper parrying it or pens, he needs to hold up play, get others working off him as Doucoure as been and Richy used too, feeding on rebounds or decent set pieces, he doesn't do the thinking part too good and more instinctive.

Would you start him still or Beto? For me still Dom.


15.) 13 Feb 2024 20:50:06
Still Dom over Beto for me too but I'd not be one to join the anti Beto brigade. 1st season in a new country and league in a relegation battle isn't exactly the greatest environment. He's definitely a potential useful lump and has pace but has no acceleration. He's similar to Dom and I've not really seen him play enough when Doucs is on the pitch. A decent no10 and someone who can hit a dead ball would see them both do much better.


16.) 14 Feb 2024 11:14:06
For record Ricky got 1 goal in 19 end of 2021. Have faith Dom will come good.


 

 

03 Feb 2024 15:03:31
Grateful for the point. Effort and commitment aplenty. Remains disturbing that we seem to only be able to score set piece goals and ability to string passes together is next to nil.

Glennk

1.) 03 Feb 2024 15:43:13
Agree that is a bit worrying. Hopefully it will improve once Dacoure is back.


 

 

03 Feb 2024 08:52:26
Very pleased for Ademola Lookman. Wish we'd have given him the same chance we gave Maupay.

Glennk

1.) 03 Feb 2024 09:06:18
You could make a pretty good team out of players we’ve let go that are still playing.


2.) 03 Feb 2024 09:35:41
Lookman was given a chance. Another player that didn’t really step up for us when given the chance and decided he was better off leaving. Hasn’t really set the world on fire since he left us. Had the odd good game and scored a few but far from consistent.

Some players not suited to a manager or style of play and may improve elsewhere but no guarantee of they came back they’d be as good as may not be suited to the set up.


3.) 03 Feb 2024 15:27:19
How many years ago was he here? Was he a Ronny man? Or Silva? How long was it between letting these players go and them showing up? He must be mid 20s now?


4.) 03 Feb 2024 16:00:59
His attitude stank the place out, thought he knew best at the time. Wasn't too sorry to see him go.

The last two games have got the show on the road. Got to maintain momentum. Today is a must win.

Let’s hope so Glennk. A win today will settle the nerves a fair bit! All we need now is for GB to predict 1-0 and hope we score 3 again.


2.) 30 Sep 2023 14:09:02
Another 3-1 win for me.

I cannot understand the pursuit of Maguire. Not because I think he's a bad player but because Everton's priorities as far as signings should be clear to one and all. It isn't a centre back. Concentrate on signing what is desperately needed.
