Everton Rumours

06 Jan 2026 18:29:27
Callum Wilson till the end of the season? Has had his contract terminated at West Ham.

06 Jan 2026 19:03:04
always felt like he was destined to play for us one day, but assumed that day had passed by now 😅 would definitely have over B&B, even if only til the end of the season while the scouts *try* find someone competent.

06 Jan 2026 19:44:16
His contract has been terminated by mutual consent… What does that tell us?

Is he not good enough?
Is he retiring?
Is he feeling he isn’t getting enough game time?

I’m not sure about this one.

06 Jan 2026 20:10:21
No they have just signed two new players, so he knows he won’t get another game.

06 Jan 2026 21:22:33
Yeah wet spam signed 2 strikers who are now ahead of him in pecking order.

Hes been told he’s 3rd/4th choice and he’s on a pay as you play contract, so they agreed he will look for another club.

I don’t think he’s good enough now but on a pay as you play contract it could be worth a shout. B + B could learn a thing or two if he stayed fit 😅

Seems to have a good attitude though.

02 Jan 2026 14:25:26
Just read some links to Guela Doue. Fancied this lad whilst he was at Rennes and he has only grown into himself more since the move to Strasbourg. He has recently been called up to his national side as well signifying his progression.

Him and the magician on the right side would give teams nightmares.

Perhaps he could ask his brother to come and join the revolution too!

05 Jan 2026 15:15:04
Never heard of him. Just like I had never heard of Beto or Barry.

05 Jan 2026 16:59:27
He is not particularly well known Brass. Another Munoz type that has attributes that would help most sides. He is the brother of Doue (PSG) , if you know him.

05 Jan 2026 21:14:15
Sorry BN no. I need to get out more 😂.

05 Jan 2026 23:04:07
Hahah you've been on form these last few weeks BMD.

"Ah so we are on the V's already" a particular highlight!

06 Jan 2026 16:45:37
Sorry mate don't know him either. Right time to start taking things more seriously, and start watching other leagues.

02 Jan 2026 14:19:36
Good news on the magician. Injury not too bad and should return to training shortly.

01 Jan 2026 18:24:09
Ricardo Pepi being linked with us from PSV, looks like he knows where the back of the net is.

01 Jan 2026 19:17:36
Yuri FW is better.

01 Jan 2026 19:41:35
They would both be an upgrade on what we have mate.

01 Jan 2026 20:58:19
I think he's another risk and not what we need, but big name in America so would at least be a smart business from a commercial standpoint.

02 Jan 2026 00:48:02
I wouldn't want either coming in tbh. Both will be around 30+ million and would represent a sideways move or worse for me. Much smarter signings out there and likely cheaper.

02 Jan 2026 00:52:10
Go an get one of the Hoffenheim lads, although Asllani may be 6 months too late, as the likes of Bayern, Dortmund and Barcelona sniffing around now. Lemperle aka Big Dunc it is then.

02 Jan 2026 12:14:56
They all know where the back of the net is. Trouble is they struggle to put the ball there.

02 Jan 2026 13:03:14
GB - how would they be an upgrade?

As we’re seeing with both Beto and Barry it’s not that easy to settle into the league.

Why do you think it would be any different for the players you mention as being upgrades?

It’s more than likely they’ll take time to adjust and that’ll set us further back.

If it’s a choice between another striker joining with no premier league experience or sticking with what we have, I’d rather stick with Barry and Beto.

02 Jan 2026 14:13:01
GD is spot on there tbf.

Nothing I have seen of Alberto or Pepi indicate to me that they would do well in the PL. You may as well call it a different sport due to the difference in quality of defenders and more importantly GK's in the PL. No way do they get the chances in the PL that they get in their respective leagues.

Don't get me wrong, I think we should sell Beto if we have the chance because we know what he is and he has regressed if anything. Barry on the other hand, although I don't see him as a natural finisher, is showing improvement in his all-round game and has previous proof or his scope for improvement whilst at his past teams and he is still young enough to retain value etc.

There isn't anyone in the PL that we can realistically bring in other than Strand Larsen and Wolves will want minimum 40m for him. He has also fallen off a cliff from last season, albeit probably due to how bad Wolves are.

If you look across the whole of Europe there are not many goalscorers around. I think Brentfords lad currently sits as the 3rd top scorer in Europe, behind only Haaland and Mbappe which says it all really. It is a bit of an impossible task to bring one in.

I would rather go out to Europe and get a player that has multiple facets to his game, that can bring the best out of the players around him, whilst being a goal threat himself, a' la Bobby Firmino.

I would love us to go after Lemperle. Hoffenheim have multiple forwards, so I think they would already be set to lose him. He is a good age, is built for the PL, good movement in the box, good finisher and great in the air. Most importantly he has good feet and can pass well, meaning that he could link up with our attacking players well.

The lad is built for Everton and the fans would love him. One touch finishing like Jelavic but Big Dunc in the air. Get him signed up immediately Blues!

02 Jan 2026 14:22:40
Both have a far better goal average per game mate.

02 Jan 2026 16:50:19
Slightly unfair to compare imo mate. Pepi is playing in the Eredivisie and Alberto has been in Brazil his entire career bar a short spell at Zenit where he flopped. In contrast Barry has played in arguably the 2 hardest leagues in the world.

There are a few strikers struggling in the PL this year and some that have far more experience plying their trade in it than Barry.

Evanilson
Muniz
Cunha
Isak
Stand Larsen

I personally don't think he is the no9 for us but I would rather allow him the opportunity to improve and get better and think getting the 2 mentioned in would be at most a sideways move but probably a backwards one. Not only that, we would have to fork out the same amount of money as Barry cost us.

02 Jan 2026 18:59:24
We won’t get a striker from the Premiership mate so who knows how good they will be.

03 Jan 2026 16:03:46
Nobody knows how good they’ll be GB and that’s my point.

You’re saying they’d both be an upgrade but there is absolutely know way of knowing if that’s the case.

Regardless of how well they’re doing in respective leagues, transferring that to the premier league is no guarantee.

January we can’t be throwing money at unproven players as it’s a notoriously difficult window to buy in with prices higher than should be and there’s also no time to allow players to integrate with the squad.

This window we should be looking at picking up a couple of loans or cheap players (those nearing end of contract or out of contract) that will add a bit of quality to the squad rather than splashing cash on more potential and unproven players.

01 Jan 2026 11:19:11
Looks like Armstrong has been recalled from his loan. I don't think we had a choice when you consider the bench we had against Forest.

Happy New Year Blues.

01 Jan 2026 12:05:02
He will get a good chance this season mate.

01 Jan 2026 13:35:19
Really pleased with this, like a new signing, and we certainly need the numbers. Can slot into either the 10 or the 8 position. Now let’s see a couple of loan deals for a full back and a striker.

01 Jan 2026 14:15:31
Well I hope and pray we will get in a proven striker but have my doubts for the January window. No good getting another B or B. If we get a young player with potential Moyes will not play him for the normal reasons so why bother? If we can't get a proven goalscorer who can contribute right away let's wait until the summer and use the available money wisely.

30 Dec 2025 13:59:33
Read a few articles linking us with Vitinho. Don’t know much about him bar he played for Burnley previously but can play LB or RB. Is he better than what we have?

30 Dec 2025 16:50:07
Not seen that 1 BR but seen we have been linked with a forward from seville called vargas? Never heard of him.

30 Dec 2025 17:25:19
Ah so we’re on V’s already.

30 Dec 2025 13:47:37
Hi Eds any truth in the zirkzee, mainoo rumours.

{Ed025's Note - they are just names thrown into the mix as far as i know BY, its a no to Zirkzee for me mate but i would take Mainoo..

30 Dec 2025 15:28:01
I think Zirkzee could be a decent 10, but he'd be a no for me too! Especially as united paid ridiculous money for him, and I recall he turned us down when he was young.

Mainoo, it'll be interesting to see what happens with him, I think there is a real player there!

But I can't see us going for either.

30 Dec 2025 16:52:59
Zirkzee is awful. If we went in for him then imagine a lot of fans would truly lose it.

Mainoo has been decent but seems to have lost his way somewhat - think at the right club he’d do very well again, provided it’s not a personality issue that’s caused his demise at Utd.

29 Dec 2025 15:48:09
Reading Alan Myers expects us to bring in at least 3 players in the coming window with a striker as a priority and two full backs and maybe a winger, would be well chuffed with that, not long to wait now.

{Ed025's Note - bring it on i say GB..

29 Dec 2025 16:16:59
Do we really need another winger?

29 Dec 2025 16:34:05
Not as a priority, but yes I’d say so. As we’ve seen, McNeil is not up to being our 4th winger.

29 Dec 2025 16:35:44
Defo Ed mate, we are so thin on numbers mate, if we want to carry on progressing we need recruits.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely mate..

29 Dec 2025 19:11:13
He didn't say a winger, he said "namely a striker, a full back or two and another midfielder" but I do think we need a new winger personally, if not in Jan then definitely in the summer.

29 Dec 2025 20:17:09
With you on that one TJ mate.

30 Dec 2025 10:12:14
He said maybe a winger. So a winger.
Given our lack of cover in other positions another winger is not a priority. Maybe something we could look at in the summer if we decide to bin Grealish and McNeil, but not now.

30 Dec 2025 11:27:02
I think most of us are hoping we bin McNeil before the summer!

30 Dec 2025 14:52:08
Agree TJ he’s not good enough mate.

04 Jan 2026 10:05:11
I personally believe Grealish and McNeil will both be staying. McNeil seems to be getting a lot of hate but for me with every game he’s getting back to it. A match fit Dwight is a solid squad player, I think he’ll prove this in the next few games.

I don’t think Grealish is even an if. He’ll be our first signing in the summer and he wants to stay with us which is massive.

26 Dec 2025 16:40:19
Hopefully more lazy journalism but just been reading Utd may be looking to take Jimmy Garner back, hopefully that is all it is.

26 Dec 2025 20:55:25
We have a 1 year option on garner so may activate it if contract talks break down. Can command a better fee and also would stop him signing pre contract agreement in January. But I think he'll sign contract extension.

26 Dec 2025 20:55:42
I hope he doesn't for his sake as much as our own. He just doesn't suit Amorim's system and will have a bad time there. Hopefully sense prevails.

Always thought he was Manchester born and bred, but turns out he's from the wirral and joined United at 8. No idea who his boyhood club was.

26 Dec 2025 20:59:54
Unfortunately, I don't think this one is lazy journalism. He's a good, versatile, home grown premier league player who has less than a year on his contract.

He'll be attractive to a few clubs, but I think he'd also class as a 'club home grown' for European competitions, which is an important aspect.

Personally, if we were ever to entertain this deal, Mainoo needs to be included.

27 Dec 2025 12:45:42
I’d like to think that he’s invested in the project and can see us getting back up there. I reckon it’s just posturing for a new deal.

29 Dec 2025 16:18:22
Strange how much a footballer improves as his contract comes up for renewal.

22 Dec 2025 19:51:11
Kalvin Philips being linked with us again hmmmm.

{Ed025's Note - thanks but no thanks..

22 Dec 2025 19:59:42
Not for me either mate.

22 Dec 2025 20:30:13
Well I can’t be a loan as he’s at Man City, surely we’re not thinking of buying him, would be a real waste of money.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely Swinners..

22 Dec 2025 20:37:56
Just lazy journalism again mate.

22 Dec 2025 20:46:33
He wouldn't be premiership ready anyway. He hasn't played for ages so Moyes wouldn't play him. He was good at Leeds Utd but since then he's proved that he was only good at Leeds as he played with some poor players in that team. I'd rather us go for Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough. He'd be less in wages than Phillips.

26 Dec 2025 10:06:10
Hopefully a joke. Right back, Left back and Centre forward are the priorities.

22 Dec 2025 09:03:29
McNeil off to Forest apparently, not sure we can let any players leave just now, unless we have replacements lined up.

22 Dec 2025 09:53:02
Be good business if we can can get a decent price for him.

22 Dec 2025 11:23:36
Yeah was reading that Moyes will let McNeil go but only once Ndiaye is back from AFCOM, Dibling will then be no2 to Ndiaye.

22 Dec 2025 13:07:29
Perhaps Armstrong takes his place in the squad. Hope we’re all out for a striker on the 1st Jan.

22 Dec 2025 13:51:56
If they want him and are paying us what we paid for him, I would get him out asap to ensure the deal goes through. Benefit may be that Moyes is then forced to play Dibling whilst Ndiaye is away, then again though, he will probably put Charlie out on the right because he is class there.

22 Dec 2025 14:35:10
Makes little to no sense holding onto McNeil just to cover afcon absences.

He’s not the type of player that’s going to take the club to the next level.

If a decent enough offer comes in then sell him.

If we hold out till afcon over there’s a chance he picks up an injury and any chance of a sale will be gone.

Whilst squad is thin, we can’t hold onto players not up to it just to keep up the numbers.

22 Dec 2025 15:06:06
Well most of the time he is on the bench and for the few times he does play he might as well have been on the bench. Baldy obviously likes him so do a Dibling and hold out for as much as we can get.

22 Dec 2025 15:38:50
Swap him for Morgan Gibbs White.

22 Dec 2025 16:42:10
We can only hope BMD! Gibbs White rejected in the past so doubt he’d want to come to us unless we pay him a fortune.

I’d take a decent amount for McNeil and try and get in Soucek or someone who can play on the right.

22 Dec 2025 20:49:51
Is McNeil to forest link out there because of his links to Dyche? Bit of it's true then I'd ship him out. I've seen some U21 games recently and the RW Kingston Boayke would easily replace McNeil. Quick, strong and likes getting in the box. Doubt he'd get chosen but he is an option to let McNeil leave club.

23 Dec 2025 08:51:34
Dentie what's the central defender's like for the u 21s.

23 Dec 2025 21:17:36
They are so so Big Yuki. Thing with the U21's and U18s is they always chop and change players. But we have recently had a 15yr old play in U21's and a couple of 15 your olds and possibly a 14yr old play for U18s.

Let's hope they crack on if they getting game time now well above their age groups. I'd still love to see Braiden Graham given a shot at some point. Can't be any worse than the two weeks have up top now lol.

26 Dec 2025 13:08:55
Not sure why McNeil has deteriorated this season, he doesn’t seem the same player, was it his injury? Last season was our best players.

29 Dec 2025 06:04:42
He hasn't deteriorated Uran. We were just that bad a side last season that we made McNeil look good.
