Benitez supposedly wants Gomes as his first signing at Celta Vigo. He could pay us a compliment and I'd happily send him on his way to get his massive wages off the books.

Hope he does mate.

I knew Benitez was a poor judge of players?.


3.) 22 Jun 2023 18:35:13
Is this the same Benitez that told JR he was too old and needed to leave?

Shame about the Turkish goalkeeper. Hope all games at the weekend have a minutes silence for all the victims.

Apparently looking at Stuttgart striker Sasa Kaladjzic, Ludovic Ajorqu of Strasbourg and Serhou Guirassy from Rennes. Don't know much about the other 2 but Kaladjzic is decent, 25 years old, 6 foot 7 so can easily get on the end of crosses and would be like the Austrian Peter Crouch. Probably cost a lot though.

Could be worse. Forest are attempting to sign a forward player called Jizz Hornkamp. I'm sure they'll be relieved if they get him.

Bilic is just a mercenary, always said he was injured when he played for us (and wasn't)


10.) 16 Jan 2022 09:03:21
I don't know the answer, just like the board don't know the answer. But one thing I do know is, the chairman / owners are the generals and the manager is the battlefield commander, and the captain leads them into battle on the pitch. At the moment none are functioning, for me it's the generals that need to steady the ship firstly, as it is we are just throwing battlefield commanders to their death and the soldiers are running around leaderless! It starts at the top and filters down, morale is an all time low, its a flashback to those 90s teams when we saved ourselves last match! We need to steady plan, at the moment we are just throwing dice and hoping we're lucky. I'd put big Dunc in charge for now and try get Brighton Graham Potter (if he'd want to come)

Rumour making the rounds today is if the board decide to sack Benitez, they will move for Mourinho. Not sure what's stupider, the rumour or our board if it's true.

Worst rumour for a while that.


4.) 05 Dec 2021 13:16:27
Talk of the Denmark manager being targeted. But in all honesty its no wonder we are screwed regarding ffp. It's all these managers we paying off after a few months in job. If rafa is given the boot then rubbish big Dunc in again and see how players react to him. Kadt time they ran and fought like warriors for him.

This was on the beeb website gossip section. Make of it what you will;
"Everton's director of football Kevin Thelwell submitted three different player recruitment plans to their new owners but the response was so cold that it has sparked concern among senior club figures about their interest in team investment. "
I imagine the concerned senior club figures are Dyche, Dyche and Dyche.

Only Have Eyes For Blue

1.) 16 Sep 2023 23:35:05
This makes little to no sense.
Why would this be out in the gossip?
Why would Thelwell be submitting anything to 777 as all that’s been agreed is moshiri will sell to them if it is cleared - so makes no sense Thelwell needs to discuss anything with them yet as not runner stamped yet.

Genuinely think this is more clickbait nonsense to wind our already frustrated fans up some more.


2.) 17 Sep 2023 07:33:56
When one of the company's I worked for got taken over we, the senior management, were asked to make presentations on the company and it's plans.

They do it to assess the current management in place and the condition of the company and the owners allow it because they think it will help with the sale price.


3.) 17 Sep 2023 10:28:30
We haven’t been taken over yet boys. Would doubt they even know who Thelwell is.


 

 

14 Aug 2023 13:34:04
Quite honestly, if its true that Gnonto is refusing to play in order to get a move, then I'd rather not have someone like that in the squad. It'd only be a matter of time before he did it to us. We need battlers and grafters, not moaners and shafters!

Only Have Eyes For Blue

1.) 14 Aug 2023 14:00:51
If true, i'd guess there might be a bit more to it. He mightve been given some kind of ultimatum or the Leeds board have said some things that have made him think 'sod this'.
But you're right, unless its something really serious a player shouldn't down tools. It looks bad on the player. Which makes me think there's other things going on.


2.) 14 Aug 2023 14:17:06
Oh behave.


3.) 14 Aug 2023 14:47:20
I would be very happy if we got him. Young player with massive potential.


4.) 14 Aug 2023 21:05:00
He needs to play in the Premier League to play for Italy, so don't blame the kid if he's been promised. Similar situation as with Richy.


5.) 14 Aug 2023 21:37:00
He’s 21 and has plenty of time to get into the national squad. If that’s his reason for not playing then sorry, not good enough. You train hard then play hard, then the rewards come. No shortcuts. Last thing we want is that my way or the highway culture at our club.


6.) 14 Aug 2023 21:56:39
Whilst I am not mad on it either, at the end of the day they didn't even choose to play him in a good portion of their games last season when they really needed goals, yet now they are making out he is a very important player.

He probably feels what has been offered for him is a reasonable fee, all things considered and wants to play in the best league in the world, so I don't blame him. He has apparently made it clear as early as June that he wanted to leave.

If you want to be the best and play for your country, you don't achieve that playing at Rotherham away on a Wednesday night. He is 21 but that is now the age where careers are in full flow.


7.) 15 Aug 2023 01:52:41
When we thought Gordon was doing it to us we were up in arms

Why do we now think 'poor little Gnonto - he's not being treated right'


8.) 15 Aug 2023 15:52:09
Fark is right. Doesn't want to play (doesn't feel right - wonder where we have heard that before) , he can train on his own and mive his stuff out of the dressing room.


 

 

04 Feb 2023 10:53:24
Hoping that the new manager bounce has an impact today and I think it will, but hoping most of all for a game without silly mistakes and switching off, with players like Gana and Iwobi at their confident, ballsy best and not just gifting the opponents attacking players with a mirubbish pass. Dyche strikes me as a shrewd tactician, if not a versatile one, but there's no planning for feckin eejits. The question is, will Dyche put his faith in Michael Keane Own Goal Machine?

Misrubbish pass? That's a weird thing to change! I left out the hyphen in mis-hit. Very strict that autocorrect!


2.) 04 Feb 2023 11:11:41
Don't thunk Keane is fit so we have a reprieve for at least a week.


 

 

31 Jan 2023 20:20:09
I imagine in a board meeting about player transfers, Dyche asked "how much can I spend? " and Moshiri said "Oh, as much as you like! Go mad! I am. " to which Kenwright said "Ignore him. I do. Sean, a well known club told me that when it comes to signing players, we always think what would the Everton board do? Because they always buy in rubbish. Or something like that. I wasnt really listening. " Sean Dyche then replies "OK, Bill, thanks for that. Now who can I buy? " To which Moshiri says "I know! You can have any player whos name is from either of the extreme ends of the alphabet. " Sean Dyche thinks for a second and says "Well Itll have to be Andrey Ayew then because Zinedine Zidane doesn't play anymore"
Then Moshiri squawked "Time For Bed" then boinged away on his giant spring for legs while the theme to the Magic Rounddabout kicked in.

Now we know who's relegated, and with us all in agreement that we have a large collection of woeful players on the books, if you had to pick one, who would you take from the relegated teams that would do a job for us or improve the squad? To be honest, I'm sorry we let Josh King go, despite his injuries. Decent player and taught us a lesson or three when we played Watford at home this season. Most will probably agree Cornet has the best stats while Pope would be good if we isn't have Pickford. Just a bit of fun, so don't take it too seriously. I know really we should be going all in for Messi ?.

Only Have Eyes For Blue

1.) 22 May 2022 18:45:14
Cornet, Sarr, Pope, Denis, Cantwell, Tarkowski - they’d all improve our squad. I’d like to see us try and pick up some young players with potential.

{Ed002's Note - if the Everton fans think the way forward is to buy players that have been relegated then they do not need a coach like Lampard. Good to see you are so easily satisfied.}


2.) 22 May 2022 19:01:00
From Burnley:
Pope if we need to replace Pickford. Cornet to add creativity and replace Townsend or Sigurddson.

From Watford:
Dennis to replace Richarlison if he’s sold

From Norwich:
Gilmour to replace any of Gomes/ allan/ doucore/

Wouldn’t want any of the other players in their squads as our squad is bad enough and only just stayed up, whereas those squads took their teams down.


3.) 22 May 2022 19:10:46
Are you saying even though they have been relegated? If so, what about Idrissa Gueye?


4.) 22 May 2022 19:10:46
Are you saying even though they have been relegated? If so, what about Idrissa Gueye?

{Ed002's Note - What I am saying is that the past couple of days have shown many of the Everton supporters to have little grasp of reality, a complete lack of understanding about FFP and the financial aspects of the game, and now the desire to replace the players that kept the club in the Premier League with those from relegated sides. It is almost too bizarre to comprehend.}


5.) 22 May 2022 19:31:13
Totally agree Ed, however we need to be realistic, get rid of the mediocre players on high wages, then let Frank build foundations, it will take time, expectancy must be realistic this season. Its also great that Sharpy is on the board.


6.) 22 May 2022 19:38:03
Calm down, Ed.
I think the question was ‘if’ we were to buy from those teams, who would we buy.
We can’t buy off the top table and so we have to consider whoever is available to us.
Think Liverpool were after Sarr at one point?
If Pickford was to be sold, Pope would be an excellent replacement - would you not agree?

{Ed002's Note - you a
You are rather missing how the game works. The mess is largely due to a series of huge mistakes by the club.}


7.) 22 May 2022 20:03:44
Not being funny Ed but the players did not keep us in the league. The fans did. The players were responsible, alongside rafa, for the performances that put us in this position. Frank and his team in conjunction with the fans dragged those same players over the line.

Relegated clubs do have some decent players. Takes 25 man squad to send a club down so thereby be a few gems amongst them to improve our squad.

As Ed says, we have to live within the constraints set by the Premier league in regards to ffp. We may not be able to do much 'buying'.

The club is a holy mess and is going to take a long time to fix. There will be no spending spree, even if we sell our top assets, dcl, richy, etc.


8.) 22 May 2022 21:14:37
Ed02 I think the clue was a little bit of fun not a right who should we sign from the relegated teams and as for FFP can you point me in the direction of our fans having a complete lack of understanding of FFP as from your replys today you really need to take a seat and have a nice whisky and chill as the post was for a bit of light hearted fun shame you had to get so upset by it.

{Ed002's Note - I am not upset - I am astonished you think the fans are having fun by showing their ignorance of the finances. It gets more and more embarrassing.}


9.) 22 May 2022 21:26:30
Ed02 who is showing a ignorance of finances not once did anyone say right go buy all these players the question was for a bit of fun who would you take from the relegated sides after all this is the banter page and you have gone on like we are a bunch of arrogant fans which is untrue as I said take a seat pour a whiskey and chill not every post by fans is serious as for the finances I think as a group of fans we all know how badly run we are and all understand we haven't got a pot to pee in.

{Ed002's Note - The Everton supporters on this page have demonstrated a complete ignorance of finance and FFP. Now you are trying to pass off the stupidity about transfers as a joke. The joke is clear. The embarrassment, I am sure, won’t bother you.}


10.) 22 May 2022 21:49:37
ED02 I have asked you to to show me where our fans have an ignorance of FFP and there was no stupidity about transfers it was an innocent question about who would we take from the relegated teams the fact is you have for some reason decided to make a big deal of it which is rather embarrassing anyway I'm off to enjoy my night with my family and watch MOTD you can look in the other teams pages for a fight because I'm too old and embarrassed by your replys to carry this on.

{Ed002's Note - Keeping posting the same thing is making you look more and more embarrassing. I have answered. I hope you enjoy your evening with your family. I have no idea how your age or embarrassment comes in to this.}


11.) 22 May 2022 22:16:44
Well this escalated quickly for a post that wasn't meant to be taken seriously.


12.) 22 May 2022 21:55:51
We’re all embarrassing ourselves this evening then.


13.) 23 May 2022 08:00:55
"Just a bit of fun, so don't take it too seriously". I think you took it a bit too serious mate. Also my point alluded to the fact that decent purchases can be made from relegated sides. If Everton got relegated would that mean that any premier league side should avoid signing any Everton player? I don't think there would be much to gain from buying any of the players relegated to be honest unless a select couple were nominal purchases.


14.) 23 May 2022 09:38:34
We could have done with Ed002 in a room with Moshiri and his advisors about 6 years ago we may not have been in the situation we are now. To be fair ed002 I think you are being a bit harsh I think a lot of us understand the clubs position regarding finances but don't really know the detail. As for buying players relegated then there are a few out there that would improve the squad, the problem is we need to sell and use the money to improve the bank balance not reinvest in the squad. Getting wages of the book will help but we have a long way to go by the look of it. In an ideal world If it was me I would try to develop and sell as many of the academy players we don't think would make the first team. Have a sensible a budget for players wages and don't buy any player who exceeds the limit. Also limited the amount of players we have over a certain age and limit their contract length based on their age. I would also try to reduce the basic wages and supplement with performance related pay. Finally I would have a set agents fee that would not be a % of the transfer but a fixed amount. Never going to happen but we can dream.

{Ed002's Note - I don't think I have been harsh. I have explained for the past year or more that the club has significant debt and significant FFP issues they needed to address, but many said I was wrong and scaremongering. Now what I am seeing is supporters who simply do not understand the rules and guidance, and do not grasp the situation. I have simply being making an effort to make matters clear. I won't do that in the future.}

Talk about generalisation.


16.) 23 May 2022 18:46:32
I’m taking my ball and going home ?.


17.) 23 May 2022 20:22:27
Ed02 - you are always incredibly insightful on here and your posts are useful and interesting. It does feel this thread became toxic quite quickly. It is now transfer season and it is a rumours site so I thought the question was interesting.

I don’t think we can afford to sign many players due to us being up the creak but if we were to sell Pickford, I’d hope someone like Pope could be bought to replace him. But unless the players are extremely cheap, I think we will struggle to get anyone this summer.

It’s really outgoings we will be looking at to try and balance the books. That will be helped by several contracts ending. Let’s hope we can bring through youth, offload a handful of others and then possibly buy a decent CB to marshal the defence.

Perhaps Dyche wants to keep him in place because he has a wonky table and no one knows more about wobbly legs than Gomes?

Lopetegui is still free, and arguably the best we could hope for right now, but doubt he'd come to us as we are looking more and more like a lost cause. He left Wolves over a lack of transparency and commitment from the board, so heaven knows what he'd make of Moshiri, Kenwright or Tony Soprano Scarface Corleone or whatever his name is from 777.
