Feels mad to have 3 players in when deadline day is nowhere near in sight. Don't know how much we have to spend but we could be about to miss a trick on the two lads from Hull. Ipswich are in talks to sign them both according to ssn.
We have been linked with them for a while and, although I haven't got a clue how good they are, they both play in positions that we could do with strengthening. Any of the eds know if we have any concrete interest in Greaves and Philogene? Or have Ipswich now become favourites to sign them? Cheers in advance.

bluepotato

{Ed002's Note - Everton have to be very careful about their spending and will need to sell to raise funds.}


1.) 03 Jul 2024 15:17:22
This is the worry. Hope we don't miss out.

Sell Onana, get these 2 in, another loan in and be quite happy.

Are we talking 1 big sell Ed IE Onana £40-50million, Calvert Lewin £25million + to address issue or more work required?

{Ed002's Note - Everton have huge financial issues still, so they need to be careful in the marketplace.}


2.) 03 Jul 2024 16:11:57
Sell DCL and we'll be fine.


3.) 03 Jul 2024 16:32:39
Sell DCL who plays up top?


4.) 03 Jul 2024 17:09:46
Greaves is quality. Phily is quality very skillful but goes missing when heat on, gives Demarai Gray vibes.


5.) 03 Jul 2024 17:27:08
I imagine we need to do more than sell Onana if we wish to buy players.

Lille have a considerable sell-on clause. I think it may be as high as 30%. I think we bought him for £33 million, so if we were to sell him for around £50 million then it would represent little to no profit.

Dobbin and Tim cancel each other out.

Godfrey fetched us around £10m.

Ndayie cost around £17m.

Seems there is work to do.


6.) 03 Jul 2024 17:33:25
Cheers Ed002. I should have said I'm expecting Onana to go very soon, hopefully it won't mean we have to sell him an JB this window as well, to free up some funds. Haven't a clue if only selling one of them will help in all honesty.


7.) 03 Jul 2024 20:50:25
Blue nose I may be wrong but I'm sure that the sell on would only be on the profit if as u say we paid 33m and get 50 mil that would be 17 mil profit 30% to lille would be 5.4m so leave us approx 11.6m obviously minus other costs so a little profit hopefully.


8.) 03 Jul 2024 21:09:05
Surly after paying the 5.4m that would leave us with 44.6m?


9.) 03 Jul 2024 21:57:07
You could be right there James mate. Let us hope that is the case anyway. I guess 30% is a bit steep as a sell-on fee alone.


 

 

01 Sep 2023 14:28:59
According to Romano, Maupay could be on his way to Brentford in season long loan deal. Have any of the Ed's heard anything about this? Ta in advance ??.

bluepotato

 

 

31 Jul 2023 13:05:25
According to Romano, we have agreed a deal in principle with Sporting for Youssef Chirmiti. No mention of fee. We will see if this is another damp squid or if it has actually got legs soon enough. Any info on this guy, eds? Thanks in advance.

bluepotato

{Ed002's Note - Youssef Chirmiti (S) Sporting were surprised when Bournemouth asked after him given they have come to the clonclusion he will never be good enough and goal scoring ability seems to be missing - and that causing a rejection for loans to lower league sides Torreense and Feirense. A third-party has been offering him to sides in the EPL - hence the surprise at the interest of Bournemouth. Hard to see how he could get a Work Permit for England. and the PL.}


1.) 31 Jul 2023 13:38:02
I thought there was a new rule relaxing work permits for a certain amount of players?
I could be wrong though?.

{Ed002's Note - Only if commitments are given for English and Welsh players with a view to increasing future HG and CD quotas - so it is not attractive as it sounds.}


2.) 31 Jul 2023 13:41:12
Nice to have a bit of context thanks Ed002 for the info. Looks like if we do sign him he would need to be loaned out to try to get WP ala Onyekuru so pointless really.

{Ed002's Note - Everton could pay well over the odds or apply for an exception based on talent.}


3.) 31 Jul 2023 13:55:21
Thanks ed002. We're obviously desperate to get any forward in aren't we!


4.) 31 Jul 2023 13:59:58
Happy to give the lad a chance, I do hope he’s the first of 2 strikers through the door though. Can we rest our hopes on a 19yr old in a relegation scrap? … I still hope a deal for Dia could be done.


5.) 31 Jul 2023 13:59:58

6.) 31 Jul 2023 14:06:37
I heard the new rule but didn't fully understand it. thank you for explaining it in a bit more detail Ed?.


7.) 31 Jul 2023 14:33:49
If we pay over the odds, we may as well change the club symbol to one of the mugs you can get in the souvenir shop….


8.) 31 Jul 2023 14:49:29
All sounds like anothe Moise Kean to me. Hoping i'm wrong.


9.) 31 Jul 2023 15:28:42
At least MK had scored a few goals in a decent league at the time of purchase, chalkie. Suppose you can't read too much into stats but his goal return is a worry. Is it a case of get whoever we can now as long as they play as a striker? Board and owner are screwing this club yet again.


10.) 31 Jul 2023 15:30:38
Isn't this "paying over the odds" an oxymoron? Or is a jar of Strawberry jam from Bills garden and a couple of FMs old Saville Row suits the currency we are dealing with? Maybe the players have had a whip round?


11.) 31 Jul 2023 15:35:48
In the end we made money on Moise Kean! I can’t see that happening with this lad as Eds who know far more than me don’t sound like they think it’s a clever signing! I’m hoping this one doesn’t come off!


 

 

27 Jul 2023 05:44:24
Any truth to the rumour that Pickford is out for 3 months? Heard it was due to a fractured wrist but not sure if it's true or not. If so, this is going to be another long season. JP has practically kept us up in the last two seasons, we've got a pensioner and an untried keeper as back up. Could it get any worse?

bluepotato

1.) 27 Jul 2023 09:35:39
Be very odd if the club were keeping that quiet, wouldn’t it?


2.) 27 Jul 2023 09:38:20
Untried keeper! Really.


3.) 27 Jul 2023 11:14:44
This club it wouldn't surprise me. Selling the lights and fittings probably why he hasn't been sold. Feels like we are jacking off the dog to feed the cat.


4.) 27 Jul 2023 15:44:37
It was mentioned to me in work last night, lad showed me a Twitter post by someone called Steve Brown (possibly the wrong name) . Hence, why I asked the question here. I'm not very clued up when it comes to Twitter admittedly.
Dfs, yes an untried keeper. How many prem games has he played? For us or for any other team? How many games has he even played for us?


5.) 27 Jul 2023 16:43:22
Virginia is a very good keeper and perfectly able to play in the Prem.


6.) 27 Jul 2023 17:12:16
In your opinion, dfs. We won't know until he is given a go and, as yet, I don't think he has played a premier league game for us or any other team. At least one of his loan moves didn't go according to plan did it? You're just splitting hairs again.
Haven't seen anything else on JP being injured so it's more than likely a wind up. Glad I don't pay much attention to Twitter ?.


7.) 27 Jul 2023 17:48:44
Well he has been on loan plenty of times dfs and didn’t he get dropped last season and loan terminated early the year before? Hardly instills confidence!


8.) 27 Jul 2023 22:23:03
Exactly, Rlchris. Unless some fans have been following him around to watch him on his loan moves, I fail to see how they can make judgement of how they will play in the premier league. Some just seem intent on arguing no matter what mate.


9.) 27 Jul 2023 23:05:54
I feel that Virginia is more than ready to step up. He’s still relatively young but had a great game against city last season. Made some great saves this pre season too

Not sure if Pickford is injured or not though.


 

 

10 Jul 2023 12:55:50
So the squad has been named for pre-season training camp has been selected with two glaring omissions, Holgate and Gbamin. Not sure if either have an injury or whether this is an indication of a couple more expected out of the door before the season starts. Anyone know any more on this?

bluepotato

{Ed002's Note - Everton will exclude players they are looking to move on including Holgate and Gbamin. Others who are not 100% fit will stay back to assist their recovery.}


1.) 10 Jul 2023 13:31:30
It is a pretty depressing squad to be honest, 28 players of which I would only want to see maybe 8 or 9 max anywhere near our matchday squad and half of those on the bench at best.


2.) 10 Jul 2023 13:40:51
No Mykolenko either, don't think he is injured so are we looking at moving him on? Would he be a big loss?

{Ed002's Note - He won't be there as he works on recovery from his end of season injury.}


3.) 10 Jul 2023 15:20:48
Both of them need to find another Club we need to move on from those type of players.


4.) 10 Jul 2023 15:49:07
Mykenko’s been playing for Ukraine since the end of the season hasn’t he?

{Ed002's Note - Yes and Everton are not pleased about it - he is still recouperating.}


5.) 10 Jul 2023 19:49:58
There is a joke there somewhere but no doubt someone would attempt to 'take over it'.


6.) 10 Jul 2023 22:04:09
Gbamin sold all of his EFC training gear online not so long ago, could be the reason he's not there ?.


7.) 11 Jul 2023 13:15:17
Did hear Holgate might have got injured in training before they went (although I know I'm the only fan who still actually likes him)


8.) 11 Jul 2023 21:53:02
Yeah, YT, wishful thinking on my part mate. Those left behind are having niggles treated back here it seems mate.

Just a quick one for the eds if they are able to shed any light.
I read an article the other day saying that Alan Myers is of the opinion that there is nothing stopping SD being sacked. There isn't, according to him, any threat to ffp etc. Do you know that to be true or is it just basically his own opinion? Does seem strange that we are playing some of the worst football in our history, along with terrible results, yet he's still there blaming everything and everyone bar himself, and yet he's still in the job.
Also, there's a text message of some description doing the rounds on social media. Obviously, these kind of things should be taken with a pinch of salt but, since this is a rumour site, I'll ask anyway! Basically, the message is from someone saying that SD and DCL had a massive go at each other after the Ipswich game and this hasn't been resolved. Patterson wants out as SD is always digging him out, surprisingly as the lad never gets a game. It goes on to say Thelwell wants SD gone too. Anyone heard anything as to this rumour and if it's just a blag?

bluepotato

{Ed001's Note - opinion. During a takeover, there are limitations on spending, which include blocking large 'extra-normal' pay-offs. That is done to stop owners being able to strip out cash reserves from a business etc after the prospective owner has looked over the books. Any sacking could require a lot of paperwork and agreements/contracts between the incoming owner and current one. Especially when it would be as expensive as it is in football, when the amounts are in the millions, maybe even tens of millions if there are a lot of staff that need to be paid off.}


1.) 03 Dec 2024 18:13:59
Cheers ed001, much appreciated ?? results and form should have been enough to get him the boot so the info you've provided makes sense. Let's hope we get the new owners in pronto and get this mess resolved.

{Ed001's Note - I am surprised he doesn't know that, it comes up every time a club is bought out. Kind of thing a journalist should know, it only takes a modicum of research to find these things out, but I supposed that doesn't get you lots of clicks and reaction on social media if you give proper information.}


2.) 03 Dec 2024 18:45:34
Exactly, Ed. If these journos can't get it right then what chance have us fans got!

{Ed001's Note - it is sad really, their job is meant to be to inform and report, instead they inflame passions in order to get clicks.}


3.) 03 Dec 2024 19:21:30
I read an article by Myers on this and he actually said, allegedly, that it was possible the new owner and Moshiri could discuss making it happen as part of the takeover incorporating the cost of the sacking.


4.) 03 Dec 2024 20:25:18
I had heard some weeks ago that Everton (Thelwell? ) had spoken with David Moyes to take over until the end of the season. This would be the least costly option as the only addition to the wages bill would be Moyes salary. Dyche would not have a big severance payment but would continue to receive his monthly salary until his contract ends.
Anyone heard anything similar?


5.) 03 Dec 2024 21:53:55
BR, I'm not sure where the article was from in all honesty which is why I was asking. As I said, pinch of salt with everything these days, hard to get to the truth with that much crap out there mate.
AJ, I've heard his name being mentioned a few times as a potential replacement temporary or otherwise. All speculation I suppose mate.


6.) 03 Dec 2024 22:32:19
For me all day long SD sacked if we lose to Wolves. Whichever way you cook it. Too much at stake for all parties. With tonights results that would put us firmly in bottom 3, with a s##t show of fixtures to come.

I actually think therefore SD will go for it and we’ll just about scrape the win somehow, but wouldn’t bet the house on it.

Failing all 3 points, said it on another thread Moyes in has to be our only option, not to just steady ship, but to save our club’s very existence. It’ll be a bitter pill but needs must. Progress can wait, prem survival trumps everything.


7.) 04 Dec 2024 08:04:40
That last sentence seems to be repeated every year. Continue in that vein and as a club we will never move forward.

26 Oct 2024 22:44:08
Haven't listened to what the manager has to say about that game but I believe he will be happy with what he served us up this evening. Why has going the gane become such a chore? I leave the house full of optimism, for the most part, but within a minute of kick off I just know how the game is going to go. SD has made us the most predictable team in the league, possibly the country.
If we were a quality counter attacking team, I could understand why we sit back so feckin deep week after week. But we're not so why do we give up so much possession at home to teams that, no disrespect to Fulham, who haven't got the greatest team in the league? Winds me up just as much as the constant passing it back to JP, only for him to lump it up front and we lose possession.
Harrison was awful. We should not be signing him on a freenin the summer as he isn't good enough. He offers nothing whatsoever and, when teams see him and Young playing on the same side, they must be licking their lips. Big weak link for us.
Beto, rate him or not but he tries. Not the best player, and I'm one of his biggest critics, but credit where it is due. He outs himself about hut is erratic! Fair play to him tonight, he earned us a point out of nothing. Gana played well tonight and Youngs pass for the equaliser was superb. 7 months at most with SD in charge, I'm counting down the days me tbh. UTFT.

bluepotato

1.) 27 Oct 2024 07:10:42
Think we are all pleased for Beto BP. It’s such a shame we can’t take the game to the opposition when at home.


2.) 27 Oct 2024 08:00:08
I would have Beto before CL anyday, CL wants out.


3.) 27 Oct 2024 09:54:32
Until we start playing two strikers no loan striker is going to do anything. Even pushing Keane up with Beto gave them problems straight away.


4.) 27 Oct 2024 10:24:56
A few tweaks here and there, BR, and I think we could actually have a go at teams. Just sick of this defending so deep and inviting pressure, even against the 'smaller' teams. It's a hard watch mate.
Lee, I honestly would keep Beto on the bench as that is the only way he will be effective for us, cameo roles here and there. He works hard but looks so far out of his depth, regardless of his goal yesterday. The first thing the new ow ers need to sort for us is a proper striker that can actually find the back of the net most games.
NFM, even putting MK up front was a strange one, he could have put JB on for MK and left dcl up top with beto. I'd have liked to see dcl with someone next to him so he doesn't have to run the channels on his own.


5.) 27 Oct 2024 11:39:22
Think most fans are upset this season because of exactly that BP. We definitely are far from relegation fodder this season yet we are setup in a retarded way and causing problems for ourselves we needn't. If we played and old fashioned 442 we'd easily be lurking on the edge of top 10. We don't need to be playing this way, we have some talented players. 2 seasons ago we needed to play like this but now it's the cause of our problems. We only come alive when we are losing.


6.) 27 Oct 2024 15:48:22
I was going to mention that BP and you are right. But given Keane scored last week and Dom didn't I felt it was best not to mention and run the wrath of the Dom haters on here.


7.) 28 Oct 2024 08:54:15
Agree with most of that, FBS, bar the fact that I think we can still get dragged into the relegation battle. If we keep playing like we did the other day then we will be in trouble come end of season.

BB, even the most ardent anti DCL fans must be able to see the donkey work he puts in, to his own detriment. He'll never score when he is being made to drift into the channels imo. I agree with them on one thing, he needs to find the back of the net more often. Beto may have scored but he's definitely not the answer.

I've left out any caretaker role and just concentrated on those who became actual manager of the club.
It's hard to draw comparisons due to the different amount of games they were all in charge for but you can draw your own conclusions.
Stats don't tell the entire story, the RK and SA season was one of torture playing style wise yet the stats say they both did OK that season.
Out of them all, as with many of our fans I'd imagine, Carlos was by far the best we've had under FM. If only he hadn't attempted to bring a Real Madrid player in on loan, we may have kept him for another season.

bluepotato

1.) 06 Sep 2024 15:21:09
Very interesting but it is not just about statistics but about the entertainment quality. Yes it is nice to win and it is a business so winning more than loosing is necessary. But it also has to be entertaining and of such quality that you want to watch more of it and it will attract more supporters. SD quality football is just dire and after a while even born and raised Evertonians like myself will tire of it and I can't imagine anyone who begins to support a club would pick Everton under SD.


2.) 06 Sep 2024 16:02:58
Totally agree, BM, not many on the list have offered us much in the ways of entertainment over the last 10 years or so mate. I did say you can't really compare the stats to any great effect. There are many variables that can distort the stats, quality of the squad being one example.
I think SD is on borrowed time and, luckily for him, there doesn't seem to be anyone making the major decisions behind the scenes right now. That said, another couple of defeats on the bounce should probably see him shoved out the door and then we start again! The FM era promised so much but hasn't lived up to hype.


3.) 06 Sep 2024 21:13:26
I think we were z better watch under martinez but slightly more dynamic under carlo. The rest were sh*t.


4.) 07 Sep 2024 09:29:20
Martinez in his first season had us playing well, dentie, but his management of defensive play was brutally exposed the next year. It was hard not to like the man but his stubbornness got him the boot in the end. Gutted that we couldn't go to the games under Carlos, by far my favourite manager for some time.


5.) 07 Sep 2024 17:39:26
I agree bluepotato but that 1st season for martinez was something else lol.


6.) 07 Sep 2024 19:31:53
Think the players bought have a big say in the win ratios. It’s scandalous to think of all the money we have wasted over the years. If we had bought some quality players, some of those managers might have won more. Martinez did have Lukaku which made a big difference.


7.) 08 Sep 2024 06:41:26
It makes you think what could have been if FM had taken advice from people who knew what they were talking about, BR.


8.) 09 Sep 2024 14:52:31
when the business that is Everton football club, is this skint and broken, staring in to the black hole unless an unrealistic super bidder comes to save the day

then the entertainment value of football isn't actually a factor anymore, it doesn't matter as a business, sad as that is.

the only thing that matters is EFC remaining to be a PL side, keeping the PL money intake to give themselves any hope of staying afloat until said new owners do happen.


 

 

17 Aug 2024 12:21:28
First game is here and I'm feeling quite optimistic about today. Let's hope the team turn up and perform and give us something to smile about come tea time. 2-0 I'm lumping cash on, so probably best tou all avoid that bet as I'm shocking at predictions! However you're watching today, hope you all enjoy the return of the Premier league. COYFB.

With you there buddy, looking forward to the match.


2.) 17 Aug 2024 13:30:31
If you are that bad at predictions can you lump some cash on 1,2,3-0 Brighton? Also 2-1 Brighton please.


3.) 17 Aug 2024 13:56:27
Keane and young start definitely a penalty conceded.


4.) 17 Aug 2024 13:58:01
Keane starting. My optimism has just expired.


5.) 17 Aug 2024 14:13:49
Have to say the line up has dampened my enthusiasm for today a little. still hoping for a good result regardless.


6.) 17 Aug 2024 14:20:11
Wouldn't feel to confident, Young and Keane starting in defence.


7.) 17 Aug 2024 18:24:41
Is there anyone on here that didn't think we would struggle once they seen the team sheet? Last season Michael Keane played at the start of the season and cost us a few games with his mistakes. He usually has a steady enough game if the opposition like hoofing the ball upfront but there's always a costly error in him.

Young was a liability (errors and red cards) in defence for most games he played last season. I thought Dyche would get sacked if he stuck with Keane last season, but fortunately he didn't and we tightened up at the back.

Now here we are 12 months later and Dyche has resorted back to playing these 2 in defence. If he gets sacked, he only has himself to blame for sticking by the same players that have continually proven they are not consistent enough for the EPL (Keane, Young, Holgate, McNeill, Harrison etc). Definition of madness is trying the same thing over and over but expecting a different outcome.

DB, that's somewhat trivialising the argument mate. Michael Keane has scored more too so does that make him a better forward? It's his all round play that tells me he isn't good enough. I can only reiterate everything I've said in this post and echo everything ed025 replied to you.
BM, agree with you there mate 100%. I knew you were one of our elder statesman which is why I respect your opinions on this site, you've seen it all pal! I'm lucky to have seen us win things in the 80s, feel for the younger generations that have had to put up with mediocrity for far too long. Let's hope this takeover is the thing that gets the club back on the straight and narrow and gives us all something to cheer and unite over. UtFT.

BM, when he has started he's been woeful in most of those games. I wasn't talking about any particular youth player but I know we have a few young forwards scoring for their age groups right now. Couldn't tell you their names but the lad we got from arsenal has bagged a few in his last couple of games. As you say, SD won't play them but I was just offering my opinion that I'd give them a go before beto.
What is it about beto that people seem to see that I don't? Genuine question that, for me he's below the likes of Niasse, Barlow, Angell, big Strach, to name just a few. The only thing they all have in common was that they worked hard.
After the last game, I did actually give him credit for the offside goal, he did take it well but it doesn't count so it doesn't matter for me. He will probably do that once in every 50 games, the other 49 he will strike them well wide or over as his finishing is erratic. That said, I'd rather talk about the sitter that would have counted as it was pivotal in that game. It's almost unforgivable as they went down the other end and won the game. He was a few yards out with practically an open goal! And it cost us the game. I'd be having a pop at any of our forwards for missing that, not just him.
For me, as I said previously, throw him on late in the game when we are getting bodies forward but he's not good enough or disciplined enough to lead the line from the start on his own, he doesn't hold it up effectively.
I honestly hope he bags a couple of goals this weekend but, even if he does, he still needs moving on asap as he's not good enough in this league.
I hope you didn't take any of my replies personally, bm, as I'm not having a go at you mate. The subject of beto gets me on my soapbox!

And that reply just shows how far our standards as fans have dropped mate. He scored one goal, missed an absolute sitter from a few yards with no pressure from defenders and we're now counting offside goals as something of a positive.
When the manager decides to plough everyone forward, and with someone to play off, beto is more effective. Starting the game up top alone only serves to show his limitations. Offside too many times, runs down blind alleys to no effect, bounces off defenders despite being solid, erratic finishing, can't hold the ball up or make it stick etc etc. I'd rather give one of the young forwards a go in all honesty. From what I've seen of beto, he's just not a premier league player. I hope he scores every game but it's not going to happen in reality. He's possibly the worst forward we have bought in recent times but, yeah, he works hard.

Giving his all is the least we should expect from every player. If we are left to rely on beto then we are in serious trouble, he's simply not good enough at this level.

Let's hope so, gb, we need goals from all attacking players. It might even keep the more negative fans happy for a change. If that's possible!

Went passed the ground earlier and there was a tree uprooted and covering part of the road and pavement. Imagine if that happened as fans were walking to the ground? Fbs was right, it's an idiotic statement that you first made but we all know you like to try and be controversial so job done for you skylark ??.

Mate, this isn't safe for thousands of people to be walking around. There's been plenty of games, back in the day, that have fallen foul of such weather as well. Ridiculous OP really but, hey ho, let's agree to disagree.

It's the correct decision, it's absolutely treacherous outside. The safety of the fans is paramount and that can't be guaranteed in this weather.
