Everton Transfer Rumours

17 Jun 2026 16:27:36
You do all realise that if you fill the team with thirty year olds and the manager gets the boot half way through the season, then the new manager coming in has sod all to work with.
We are supposed to be building a squad for the future. Moyes is building a squad for the now.

We could if we are lucky get one half decent season, but what then? You can't just go out and buy more players because these older players will be on a minimum two year deal. So yet again the team is standing still because. The wage bill will be compromised, and not for the first time.

17 Jun 2026 19:42:06
We have a good season and then we build on it?

17 Jun 2026 20:00:08
What with?

17 Jun 2026 20:01:40
You took the words out my mouth, JB, it's so obvious.

17 Jun 2026 20:12:12
With more signings. Isn't that how everyone else does it? You don't keep the same squad for 10 years. You try to improve year on year.

17 Jun 2026 20:53:54
Think we've done a lot of building for the future recently and, though I think we should keep doing it, we really do need players that can walk straight into the first team.

17 Jun 2026 21:41:48
Get these players in on high salaries and you won't be able to add to the squad. We have been down this road before, and we got royally fecked.

17 Jun 2026 22:36:42
Didn't we build a new stadium so we could attract players on decent wages?

18 Jun 2026 07:03:11
Too many youngsters, too many 30 somethings? Isn't it about balance? The issue, for me, is buying players and not using them, or playing them in positions they don't stand a chance of being effective in.
Right now we need a right back, left back, and a striker pronto.

Don't care if, for now, they are 30 or 21. They need to be good and they need to start. There is more required, of course, but get this done first as we have no balance until this is sorted.

17 Jun 2026 12:17:54
We are now being linked with Lassine Sinayoko, striker from Auxerre. Do you know anything about his bluenose?

17 Jun 2026 17:10:43
Youtube clips, he looks bang average.

17 Jun 2026 17:23:14
Can't see us making any signings this month, thought we would be off to a flyer.

17 Jun 2026 19:31:56
Dev, when have we ever been off to a flyer?

17 Jun 2026 20:41:39
Never, mate, but thought things might have changed.

17 Jun 2026 09:11:16
And so it begins..

Leeds Utd are now considering legal action against Leicester City for breaches of PSR and now look to draw parallels from Burnley compensation victory against Everton.

{Ed025's Note - just what we need..

17 Jun 2026 10:12:16
And so it begins.

17 Jun 2026 15:16:59
It's not a victory yet.

17 Jun 2026 08:01:58
Looking for a net £50 mill spend apparently. Focus on Grealish and Stones, Rhol already in, looking for RB and loan to buy striker.

{Ed025's Note - thats not a lot these days DMS..

17 Jun 2026 08:54:28
Can see us getting far more than that, mate.

17 Jun 2026 08:55:35
Wage bills going to take a hit if we get those two in.

17 Jun 2026 18:44:17
Net spend.

16 Jun 2026 22:38:50
Edon Zhegrova winger from jive being mentioned again. We have been linked with him on and off for about five months, I believe. Out of favour at Juvrvthos, one might actually have some legs. Apparently he is available for approx 11.5 million euros.

17 Jun 2026 00:54:07
We have been linked with him for over a year now, mate. Not sure he is the answer myself, but if he is being brought in for depth, i.e., to have as an option over McNeil, then I can certainly get behind it.

Alan Shearer’s voice gets on my nerves. Why can’t we just have the commentators and bin these whiny prats?

16 Jun 2026 22:29:23
Was it me but all I had was the 5live commentary on the tv with Pat Nevin. Every BBC channel I tried had the 5 live commentary. Couldn't hear Alan Shearer at all, maybe it was a Sky issue?!?!

17 Jun 2026 08:56:42
You were lucky, Big C.

16 Jun 2026 20:18:56
Sources: Everton line up Lois Openda loan-to-buy deal as Juventus 'offer' made. Just seen this - not sure how much truth is in this rumour, but this name is being mentioned a few times now. Looks a really promising player.

16 Jun 2026 22:45:51
Struggled in Serie A with Juve, but could be hungry to revive his career. Very pacey, so good for counter attacking style of play, good dribbling skills, likes to carry the ball and shoot and is comfortable with both feet. Most of his goals are from open play as well.
Juve want to move him on due to his struggles in Italy.

Loan with option to buy could be some smart business with Openda. Get the player who banged in goals in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga would be a massive upside.
Get the Serie A player and send him back and don't take up the option.
Different profile to Barry and Beto.

16 Jun 2026 19:13:39
Martinez to leave Portugal.

16 Jun 2026 09:47:38
Can you believe it? It appears more and more likely that John Stones may be our Star signing 😁. Good player in the past but hugely injury prone. If his history of injuries was not as chronic at 32 he could maybe have filled a gap and get a younger centre to be mentored by him, but we should be getting someone in their mid twenties and building around then.

Hopefully I despair of my club sometimes. I really do.

16 Jun 2026 12:37:03
Was reading he has been injury free for most of the last season.

16 Jun 2026 14:42:43
That's what he claimed in a recent interview, GB.

If he stays fit, he could operate at CB, RB or DCM. As long as he stays fit and isn't on silly wages, it could be a decent acquisition.

However, 'if' makes me worry. Big gamble to take on uncertainty.



Plus, should we not be bringing through the next up and coming CB where possible? Didn't we release Welch/Welsh who was well regarded?

If we do sign him, I'm hoping he's not the major signing of the window. We need a fair few to come in yet.

16 Jun 2026 14:52:33
That's the crux, mate, he needs to stay fit and take a big dip in pay.

16 Jun 2026 15:12:45
He's been injury free because he's been sitting on his arse for most of the season. Absolute joke.

16 Jun 2026 16:25:29
He's in the England squad, that's high praise, is that not good enough for you.

16 Jun 2026 17:48:40
Not really, no. The guy is 32, coming to the tail end of his career. Playing for England these days means sod all.

16 Jun 2026 17:57:01
Tarks is 33, mate, and so is Keane. That's not old for a defender.

16 Jun 2026 18:43:37
If he can do the same job as Gana, he may be worth a contract.

16 Jun 2026 19:09:54
Definitely Br would be an addition to the team, mate.

16 Jun 2026 20:46:43
And we played both of them a season too long, GB. Moyes is turning this team into an old man's club.

16 Jun 2026 20:56:58
If buying players because they're in the England squad is good enough, why don't we go for that wee midfielder Henderson, proper age group for dithering Dave.

16 Jun 2026 21:12:16
If we sign Stones, then it will split opinion. And for every old player we have signed who's added to the squad, there's plenty who took a wage and made no difference.
This window is make or break for Moyes, in my opinion, as if we don't move forward, he might not get an extension on his deal. I watch on with interest.

16 Jun 2026 22:54:48
I guess the attraction is the free transfer, but depends on the wages as well
If he stays fit, I would rather a fit Stones partner Branthwaite and would bring some amazing leadership which we are going to miss with Seamus leaving.

17 Jun 2026 00:57:42
On paper, it would be a huge upgrade ST. The issue is, we will have our work cut out getting 1 of them on the pitch at times, let alone both of them at the same time.

17 Jun 2026 04:31:04
He will probably have a great World Cup and sign for someone else.

17 Jun 2026 19:17:34
Ah Bramley Moor, the home for retired players. I don't think signing Stones displays a lot of ambition. Similar situation with resigning Rooney, thanks for the memories (very brief) , but we are supposed to be a Premier League club.

No issue with Rooney or Stones moving on as that's football. I wouldn't buy a brand new Mercedes, sell it after only 6 months, then buy it back with 200k miles on the clock!
