ManUre have apparently made a £50 million bid for Onana. I'd happily drive the lad there myself for that fee.
{Ed025's Note - you could take him in your truck WT.. :)
1.) 23 Jun 2024 12:17:22
Really? On one hand we have people literally crying about us possibly selling a player who has 1 year left and doesn't score goals for a massive profit if rumours true at £35m who cost £1.5m
And then a very young player who is 1 year older than Branthwaite and cost £35m is wanted by Arsenal, Chelsea, ManU, Barcelona, Munich etc and the fee is relatively rumoured to only be £50ishM. The kid is clearly not in a team with the good players he makes look good like he does for his country. Must be the players fault.
2.) 23 Jun 2024 12:18:44
Could put all his possessions in the back Ed. do you think it's a genuine offer or just media rubbish?
{Ed025's Note - i think it might be genuine WT, quite a few clubs are interested in him mate...dont ask me why .. :)
3.) 23 Jun 2024 12:22:04
I'd want aleast 60 for onnana at minimum chelsea paid that for lavia.
{Ed025's Note - get bretto on our negotiations team.. :)
4.) 23 Jun 2024 12:23:09
Excellent news that the Manure are offering over £50 million for Onana and if we can get £37 or near abouts for injury prone DCL that would be great news indeed, keep JB young players coming in will be a new Team when we kick off in the summer, Sean getting deals done early bring it on.
5.) 23 Jun 2024 12:31:36
The lad obviously thinks he can do a lot better for himself so let him go. To me he’s just another Paul Pogba. Has talent but very rarely shows it.
6.) 23 Jun 2024 14:05:25
DCL was a more effective player for us than Onana in my opinion FBS. We now we have to sell someone otherwise we’d keep them all. I’d take 50 for Onana.
7.) 23 Jun 2024 14:35:08
And the same suspects crying over Dobbin, . Small and all kinds of long forgottens. Utterly baffling.
8.) 23 Jun 2024 14:47:19
I think he’s been very good in euros he’s strong can tackle and a decent passer.
9.) 23 Jun 2024 21:51:12
Having a differing opinion to FBS = crying. Hope Dobbin does well, didn’t see enough from him personally. If we can get good money for Onana, we should take it and secure FFP. Think we’ll struggle to find a number 9 that does the job that Dom’s done for us in difficult circumstances, happy to be proven wrong by Thelwell and co of course.
10.) 23 Jun 2024 23:17:28
Spot on FBS. Some go on about how good DCL could be with better players around him but don't apply the same logic to Onana.
I am not too fussed as he clearly wants to go and has high aspirations but the way people talk him down as if he is sh**e is beyond baffling. That being said, I guess football is a game of opinions after all.
11.) 24 Jun 2024 08:30:47
Say what you see. I see a player with a lot of potential who sadly doesn't always show it.
12.) 24 Jun 2024 10:24:40
The lad has undoubted ability, but have to agree he seems more of a Pogba luxury player toe and his heart doesn't seem in it.
He will no doubt go elsewhere and in a possession retaining team and a worker ngolo kante type next to him flourish.
Sadly we simple don't have the calibre of players or style to get the best out of him. A decent profit is not a bad deal, I was actually worried we get our outlay back.
13.) 24 Jun 2024 10:56:57
I don't think anyone doubt that he has qualities and he could grow into a fantastic player. We are not, unfortunately, in a position to hang on to all of our assets. If we get good bids for any player, we'd have to consider them. If we sell him for more than we purchased him for, you'd have to say that's good business. Hopefully the days of us paying over the odds for ageing players is gone (I know, Ashley Young - but we need some old heads) .
30 May 2024 16:14:45
DCL to Newcastle for £25 million. Apparently that would alleviate psr issues. I'd much rather sell him than Braithwaite or Pickford.
1.) 30 May 2024 17:17:03
I agree, Pickford has kept us up, has been amazing and Branthwaite is best young defender in England. DCL hasn’t played so it’s not as if we will miss him.
{Ed025's Note - i think we will him big time Swinners..
2.) 30 May 2024 17:44:20
Agree with ED, we will miss him, he was getting closer and closer to his best as the season closed out, and at his best he's worth twice that. Would rather we got rid of Onana before the rest of the world realises how overrated he is. Don't think we would miss him at all.
{Ed025's Note - the thing is ONE is that he is by miles the best forward we have, the fact that he was plying a lone furrow most of the time did not help him one bit mate, if Dyche was more pragmatic and had someone decent either along side him or just behind him then im sure we would see a quality forward, he holds up the ball well and is great in the air, myself i think he has had a bad press but i must say his injury record last season turned a lot of the supporters against him and all that prancing around in the fashion stakes did not help, but if he does go to say Newcastle with better service and better players around him i think we would regret letting him go..
3.) 30 May 2024 17:52:11
He averages a goal every 4 games. when fit.
4.) 30 May 2024 18:03:29
I would definitely rather lose DCL than Pickford or Jared. Simply for the fact that he would be easier to replace then they would. That isn't to say that I don't think we will miss DCL. He suits how SD wants to play. He is a decent forward, who can hold the ball up well and bring others into play. I will always question him as a finisher though, he is far from a natural one. I am yet to see him strike a ball with any technique or conviction in the 8 seasons he has played for us and he misses far too many chances he gets. He has 54 goals across 8 seasons. People absolutely hammer linked players like Che Adams for similar numbers but seem to overlook it when it comes to DCL. You could argue that those numbers would be better if it wasn't for injuries but you can't discount a players fitness and robustness when assessing them as a player. If they aren't on the pitch, then they aren't going to score.
20, nearly 40% of DCL's goals have been with his head. It is right to say that we don't have any wingers who can beat a man and cross the ball in the squad atm, so if we don't have those players that can facilitate his best chances of scoring, his numbers will expectedly take a hit. In terms of his goal contribution, is he irreplaceable, I don't think so.
I think that term can be used more appropriately to describe JP and Jared. Pickford has been our player of the season 3 seasons on the spin and he has probably been the most integral player for us in avoiding relegation. It is not just his ability as a keeper that we would be losing, it is his leadership and his connection to the fan base. He has come on leaps and bounds these last few seasons and even his biggest critics have started to notice it.
Jared would be another big miss. He partners Tarkowski brilliantly and offers great balance to the backline being predominantly left-footed. I think it is also worth noting that his value will only increase next season. There is a chance that he could have a part to play in this summers tournament, which again can only increase his value. We could let him go this summer for 60/ 70m and then next summer he could easily be talked about as a 100m + centre back. I think another season would do him the world of good and would allow him to learn the league that bit better and iron out any creases to his game.
If DCL was banging in 15/ 20 goals a season for us, it would be a no brainer to keep him. Goals are very hard to come by and us as a team show that more than any of them. The reason we stayed up this season is due to our defence and losing any of the 3 mainstays would disrupt it massively.
Could we sell DCL and find a 10 goal a season forward with similar attributes, yes I think we could. There are players from the lower leagues like Morris, Adebayo and Pedro who have the right attributes to come into this league and hold their own. There are unknowns like the fella Fulham picked up, Muniz. Then there are loans we could exploit from the top clubs with saturated squads e. g. Nketiah, Fofana etc.
In an ideal world we could keep all 3 of them but given our situation, I think I would rather lose Dom and Onana before JP and Jared.
5.) 30 May 2024 18:33:02
With his contract being up next year do you know if there is a clause that we can extend it by a further year?
If he goes at least the club will make millions by selling maupauy shirts.
6.) 30 May 2024 20:22:46
Do you think if true we are interested in newcastles winger he would be part of the deal £25 million and player aswell ????.
{Ed025's Note - i would not think so RON..
7.) 31 May 2024 07:05:18
I'd rather keep him, not just the goals but we just look better with him playing. Beto hasn't done what he was bought for. So I'd rather sell him and Onana tbh.
8.) 30 May 2024 21:43:54
Asked before but does anyone know exactly how much we need to raise for PSR.
{Ed002's Note - No they don't know exactly.}
06 May 2024 08:16:10
Rumours that Kevin Malone has flown to the UK to try and sort a deal to buy us. this surely has to be better than 777 getting control.
1.) 06 May 2024 08:30:34
Looks like he will fit the bill. Poor track record and signs players on high wages. Oh dear here we could go again lol.
2.) 06 May 2024 10:14:32
Pure speculation all of this none of us know what 777,Malone or any other potential buyers are likewe can only go by what the rags tell us, we all thought Moshiri was our Saviour and so did the press, look where that got us.
3.) 06 May 2024 13:50:04
I just read that a reliable source has said he's heard nothing about this new investor so no point worrying about weather there suitable or not.
4.) 06 May 2024 15:00:02
Apparently this New takeover with Malone if it happens will carry with it very high interest rates, sounds very scary to me.
{Ed025's Note - im just sitting back and letting it play out GB, there is nothing we can do to influence things so what will be will be mate, we are in a big heap of trouble and we just have to hope that the players in this money go round come up with something that will benefit the club...but im not holding my breath..
5.) 06 May 2024 15:25:38
Maybe it's a ploy to jerk 777 to close out the deal. I would prefer they get out of the deal.
6.) 06 May 2024 15:32:53
After all we have gone through with point deductions appeals etc etc we get out of that but we are still in deep doo doo, it never bloney stops mate.
7.) 06 May 2024 16:06:28
I've just red a article stating wealthey Arab's will make there interest known this week.
8.) 06 May 2024 17:36:36
Hope they have plenty of camels and barrels of oil.
05 May 2024 02:47:55
Seems like Spuds are looking at Onana. Rickie apparently is surplus to requirements there, maybe a swap?
ManUre are looking at cash plus Maguire for Braithwaite (please God, not Harry) .
1.) 05 May 2024 09:57:40
Can’t swap Onana for Ricky. We need money. Which is why swapping Branthwaite would also be a no brainier.
2.) 05 May 2024 10:06:59
Wage bill needs reducing also, that would be doing the polar opposite. Won’t happen.
3.) 05 May 2024 13:33:31
Maybe that would depend on other incomings/ outgoings. I’d swap Richy for Onana in a heartbeat.
4.) 05 May 2024 16:17:16
It would be like Pienaar all over again JB.
5.) 05 May 2024 16:37:20
Richy’s only 26!
6.) 06 May 2024 11:03:53
What don't you guys get? We can't swap one player on a lower wage for another player on a higher wage.
We need to reduce our wage bill and do cash sales only. No swaps.
10 Jul 2022 13:44:51
Jack Wilshire is available. Are rumours true that we've offered him a 5 year deal?
1.) 10 Jul 2022 14:25:22
6yrs on £200k per week.
2.) 10 Jul 2022 15:46:40
? luckily he’s retired.
3.) 10 Jul 2022 16:15:00
With the offer we’ve made him he’s happy to come out of retirement.
4.) 10 Jul 2022 18:59:53
With that offer I would come out of retirement!
5.) 10 Jul 2022 22:42:55
It’s a 12 year deal!

Feiedkin will obviously be calling the shots already so let's see what the next month or two brings.
Above anything else, obviously staying in the Prem is paramount. Next decision is who will be manager going forward. I'd rather keep SD than have Southgate so hopefully that's just paper talk.
BMD will be the massive uplift in revenue and will hopefully put an end to psr problems.
Dare we dream boys?
NSNO UTFT.
1.) 25 Sep 2024 09:30:16
You'd rather SD over Southgate? Um ok.
2.) 25 Sep 2024 13:28:40
i'd rather Dyche see out the year than Southgate yeah
id worry with Southgate, football wouldn't be much better given the football wasn't good with Saka/ Jude/ Palmer/ Kane/ Gordon/ Rice/ Trent never mind with our lot
he done well at international level with England, some are just that though, international managers.
do i think Southgate is a better club manager than Dyche? in truth? absolutely not.
3.) 26 Sep 2024 00:27:11
Hopefully Southgate holds out for MU. I think that is close to best case for Everton. Only thing better would be for him to some way go to the red team even closer to Goodison.
23 Sep 2024 00:40:09
Cardiff City have sacked their manager after the same start to the season as us. Decisive decision from the Bluebirds board.
I just hope we pull the trigger on SD before we're cut adrift.
1.) 23 Sep 2024 01:01:34
I think stoke sacked steven Schumacher after 3 winless games.
2.) 23 Sep 2024 07:39:29
Graham Potter says he’s interested apparently hope he brings Harry we could do with some magic still a point is more than what we had on Friday COYB.
3.) 23 Sep 2024 13:30:18
One thing is certain keeping Dyche into November will mean championship football.
20 Sep 2024 02:39:27
If we lose on Saturday, either SD resigns or he will be sacked.
For all the negativity about Moyes, name me another manager who would be remotely interested in us ATM?
I'd give him an 18 month contract and I reckon he'd have us climbing the table pdq.
1.) 20 Sep 2024 06:19:24
I’d give him till summer. I know everyone talks of unearthing a manager from somewhere - we tried that with Silva and he wasn’t given the time. I don’t think we are in a position to attract any decent managers and we have to cut our cloth accordingly.
2.) 20 Sep 2024 07:30:50
He won't resign because he wouldn't get his pay off. and must have a lot of yes men around him with all the rubbish he comes out with and thinks we believe? I'm just hoping Vardy has an off day because even at his age he is still faster than are lads at the back except the young lad Dixon who he won't play anyway. Still reckon we get 3 points in a 3.2 win COYB'S.
3.) 20 Sep 2024 07:34:41
Wait till Braithwaite is back in the side then see where we are the person we should be sacking is m keane the loss record with him playing is a disgrace.
4.) 20 Sep 2024 08:19:32
Dyche won't change his tactic just because Branthwaite is playing. And it's his tactic that is peeing everyone off, including I believe the players.
5.) 20 Sep 2024 10:38:24
Who resigns?
Moyes is better than SD but I'd rather we start a fresh.
As for this repetition of how bad we are and that no buyers will touch us or no manager would want us is absolute garbage. Sure the top 10 managers in the world ain't coming but there are 100s of managers who'd kill to be our boss.
6.) 20 Sep 2024 11:50:51
When you listen to him in his press conference, he still speaks over the time before he came in, same problems, his only concern should not be the past but his team performances under his watch, he definitely doesn’t like our club, he’s getting paid £5 million pounds a year by our club to get results, I can’t see that he’s got what it takes to turn things around, unfortunately he will stay in his job because we haven’t got the money to pay him off, we are bottom of the league because we have the worst manager in the league, it should be a league table for the manager s not the clubs, name and shame, they get paid enough to be a failure anyway.
03 Sep 2024 03:54:54
Would any modern day Everton players be considered club legends?
We have the likes of Dixie Dean, Big Nev, the holy trinity midfield etc who I think we all agree are club legends.
Did the likes of Cahill, Coleman or Baines do enough to be considered in that group?
Just thought I'd do something to get away from our current mob of under achievers.
1.) 03 Sep 2024 08:21:25
I think it's all about perspective and what they meant to the club when they were there. Coleman, Baines and Cahill are all club legends in my view not just for the way they played for the shirt but for how they conduct themselves as people .
2.) 03 Sep 2024 08:47:43
JP I hope will be considered a club legend if he stays until his contract expires in 2027. It will be interesting if he will be ranked on a par with Big Nev if he see's out his career with us especially with younger supporters.
{Ed025's Note - hmmmm, you are comparing a Rolls Royce with a Lada there imo sa, JP is a very good shot stopper and has earned us a lot of points with some really excellent saves, but his reluctance to come for crosses and not having command of his area means he can never be counted as a great for me mate, not even in my top 10 best ever Everton keepers im afraid, it really does show how far we have fallen when an average goalie like him is being lauded as a "legend" by some, but its all about opinions i suppose..
3.) 03 Sep 2024 11:08:19
Simple if Nev was about now then Pickford wouldn’t get anywhere near the first team.
4.) 03 Sep 2024 12:10:47
Think same application especially if Martyn and Howard were available nowadays.
Jordans been a very good servant but "legend" is stretching it tho still time to win us something in his career then worth the talk again.
5.) 03 Sep 2024 10:06:34
Think he's a great shot stopper ed 025 am afraid mate yes he's irrational likes to get involved in things he doesn't but his ball distribute is pretty good and there was some England fans screaming for him to be dropped after he's the first keeper during my time to help us win a penalty shoot out against Columbia even heard some England fans and arsenal fans saying ramsdale is better yet he's just joined Southampton am not sure about the legends thing if he's stays he's been a great servant i have no doubt but what justifies being a legend is it amount of games you have played is it winning trophies just easy word to throw about the in the game but just my opinion.
{Ed025's Note - hes not a problem for us Andy and hes a very decent keeper, just not in the same league as the likes of Big Nev, Gordon West, Nigel Martin etc, just my opinion of course mate..
6.) 03 Sep 2024 16:50:03
Bringing back good memories Ed025. Gordon West was keeper when I started supporting the club. Great player.
{Ed025's Note - yeah pgp me too mate, thats when we were good..
7.) 03 Sep 2024 18:17:35
Westy could throw the ball right on to Joe Royle’s head. No need to hoof it aimlessly down the pitch.
8.) 03 Sep 2024 17:42:00
I’d like to hear your top 10 keepers Ed25. Who would be your number 1 number 1?
{Ed025's Note - definitely Big Nev BR..
9.) 03 Sep 2024 21:12:39
Sorry, but I can’t put Jordan Pickford and.
Neville Southall in the same sentence.
{Ed025's Note - nor me Ace, goalkeeping has certainly changed in recent times where now their feet are more important than their hands, Nev used to catch most of what Jordan punches and anyone who had the audacity to enter his 6 yard box ran the risk of being flattened, one of the all time great keepers for me mate..
10.) 03 Sep 2024 22:30:05
One hundred percent Ed25. I personally have never seen a better combination of outstanding agility, dominance and leadership in a goalkeeper. He’s not one of the best for me. He is the best there has ever been.
His injury in 86 is the reason we came second best in the cup and the league. I’ve met him many times and he is the most humble professional there could be.
I think JP is great for us but my goodness, Big Nev is different gravy.
One last word on it. I see JP getting over animated many time with the defence berating them and waving his arms around every time the ball goes over the bar or out for a corner. Then I remember that Big Nev would just give the back four a look that would cause them all to regret ever having chosen to play the beautiful game.
Let’s never compare JP with the greatest keeper ever to play on these shores.
{Ed025's Note - he really is a nice guy Ace, enjoyed a bevvy with Nev at the Links hotel in Llandudno many years ago with him and his dad, no airs or graces just a very decent honest individual, love the fella..
11.) 03 Sep 2024 22:34:58
He was world class Ed - he’d top my list.
I still think Pickford would make my top ten but there would be a fair few in front of him. Big Nev, Martyn (what a steal at £800k) , West and Howard would all be ahead of him. He’d be squabbling it out from 6-10. He’s kept us in many games. I’d rank him above the likes of Myhre, Wright, Gerrard (remember how bad he was? ) , Simonsen, Mimms and Arnold. I think you’re being a bit harsh on him not to make the top ten….
{Ed025's Note - i probably am BR, i was probably trying to highlight the gulf in class between Big Nev and JP mate..
12.) 04 Sep 2024 07:17:32
My favourite Nev performance was the FA cup in ‘95. Won us the game in my opinion.
13.) 06 Sep 2024 15:02:22
Have to agree with ed25, JP is a quality keeper and has been very good for us at times but he is nowhere near the level Big Nev was at back in the day. No comparison whatsoever.
26 Aug 2024 07:52:48
Dyche favourite with the bookies to be first sacking. Who would want to take over atm ??♂️.
End of the transfer window, no money, no leadership from the board and no striker who can hit double figures. I doubt that we could attract Big Sam now so no progressive manager would consider us.
Tough times ahead.
UTFT NSNO.
1.) 26 Aug 2024 10:28:18
We have had 10 years to appoint a young progressive manager but we keep going for the old Hoofers. We make the same mistakes over and over again. It’s embarrassing and bad for your mental health. We had our chance to change direction but no one seems to know anything about football at our club. I wouldn’t go to watch Everton if you payed me. Worst manager and worst Football in the premier league. Can someone explain to me why Dyche is even there in the first place. Everyone on here loved him and now you want him out. Our club has no idea anyone could see Dyche is an empty head. No other club wanted him not even a championship team. His knowledge and style of football is horrendous it’s embarrassing a child could do a better job.
2.) 26 Aug 2024 10:39:06
I would love Gary O'Neil Welsh.
Think he would have jumped at the chance a decade back. Not so much now.
3.) 26 Aug 2024 10:50:20
Think we've tried it all under FMs tenure. Martinez, Lampard, Silva were all young (ish) managers who were thought to be progressive. The thing that is holding back our club is the owner, despite the amount of cash he has spent.
The biggest change to the way this club is run, came as soon as FM walked through the door. The rile of DoF has almost killed this club, more so the people employed in that role. I'm all for scrapping it totally and letting the manager live and die by his own sword. It won't happen but its something I'd like to see gone.
4.) 27 Aug 2024 11:08:19
It's not the DOF that's ruined our club it's the incompetent person (s) in control of the club restricting them fulfilling their role. Hence why Brands walked even when paid more than his present and previous jobs. Again scouting system identifys players but up to owner to agree purchases or pay for his mates duff players no-one else wants.
Can't wait for new owner who will hopefully let senior management do the job they are paid to do.
As for Dyche of course the footballs boring but restricted by injuries to Garner Braithwaite and no serious competition for DCL. Of course FFP restricts our purchasing power we can't just splash the cash anymore and EPL has ensured no-one ever does unless they fit their bill. So we have to gamble more or plan the purchase thoroughly which takes time.
09 Aug 2024 00:53:39
As much as I would love Richy wearing the number 9 for us, he is way too far out of our price range.
31 Jul 2024 01:47:19
KT and SD have played a blinder so far in this window. fair play to Moshiri for giving the green light to spend a few quid too.
Please can we get a striker next though. Preferably one who can score goals would be nice as we don't seem to have one atm.
16 Jul 2024 02:37:31
I think that bringing them in is brilliant strategy. they can run the club day to day while he oversees things. Everton run by Evertonians is brilliant PR.
03 Jul 2024 16:11:57
Sell DCL and we'll be fine.
25 Jun 2024 03:27:14
You boys sound like Sissy and Ada from The Les Dawson show lol.
04 Oct 2024 20:13:36
I hope O'brien starts instead of Keane. if he does then we have a sniff.
28 Sep 2024 07:25:56
The mood in the whole club should have gone up dramatically this week. A new and hopefully brighter future is getting closer.
Dyche has to drop Keane and Young. If he doesn't and we lose, I'd sack him on the spot.
If DCL is still stalling on a new contract, I'd leave him out of the match day squad for every single game. The way he's played for 90% of his Everton career he won't be missed.
23 Sep 2024 20:39:01
Maybe the other lot have infiltrated.
23 Sep 2024 12:49:38
I hope it's Friedkin.
23 Sep 2024 00:45:33
Never rated DCL but we all have different opinions on the lad.
If however he refuses to sign a new contract, should he be dropped from the match day squad?
