Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

My fellow fans I think we need to be prepared that things will take time and that this window we may need to overpay a bit as currently we are selling the club on a vision of getting back to the glory days!
We don't need wholesale changes we need the team to believe to have a good coach and be solid in the tactics and flexible to change it up when needed. I think that is why getting someone like Koeman was vital and there is still time while he works with the team. Keep the faith IKWT and COYB!

Any ideas when the Barcelona buy out clause for Gerry runs out or even if it's still there. Just our luck he'll reinvent himself this year under Koeman and they'll snap him back.

If I remember rightly it was in place for the first three years of his cut tent contract.

Yea think its 3 years and the amount they have to pay gets higher each year. He'd have to have an unbelievable good season for them to take him back. IMHO he'd have to be like in the team of the year for Barcelona to want to take him back. As it would be extremely tough to get into the Barcelona team.

By the sounds of it Gerard is going to have a bit of time up front. Koeman sounds like he's done his homework on him after mentioning his Barcelona B days. It would be interesting to see what him and Rom look like upfront and whether it would work.

Barkley seemed a lot more comfortable today and was superb in a slightly deeper role. His goal was great but his calmness on the ball was good and his link play with Grant who also had a good game was the main driving force in the second half.

Very early days but more options for passes and we didn't seem to concerned in throwing a long ball here and there and a big no no from the manager in passing back to the keeper.

1st half - 3/ 10
2nd half - 5/ 10

Not a bad start. MOM - Barkley.

He should have been banned indefinitely from football for THAT tackle a few years back go on YouTube and watch it. He's a dog of a player so it's a match made in heaven.

Just heard koemans post game interview and you've got to love how the man talks he knows his she*p and tells it how it is. After the utter bull we've had to listen to for the past 3 seasons I'm really enjoying our new manager already.

Grant's 2nd half performance was excellent playing in the Barry / Gibson roll, 3 good well taken goals.

Hi ed

Any inside info when we are going to enter the transfer market? Walsh says Koeman knows what he wants so does that mean we will have new targets? 3 weeks still start of season surely we Must move soon.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer questions about timing. However, I can say that KC Cracovia's Bartosz Kapustka has attracted interest from Wisla Krakow, Southampton, Karlsruher and Greuther Fürth with Koeman taking his prior interest to Everton. A recent appearance for the Polish national side was complimented by Omar Sciolla who was there representing Juventus, but that means little at this time. My understanding is that Everton have asked for taalks about the player.

Whether Walsh continues prior interest in Sigurdsson will, I suspect, depend on what happens with Kapustka.}

23 Jul 2016 18:33:38
I've checked this kapustka out Ed, couple of the Wrags are saying Leicester have bid for him today. Do you know if this is this the case or just paper talk? .

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of a Leicester bid today.}

23 Jul 2016 15:00:16
Interesting lineup for today's friendly match against Barnsley:
Robles, Davies, Holgate, Galloway, Baines, Lennon, Gibson, Besic, Mirallas, Dowell, Deulofeu.
Subs: Stekelenburg, Coleman, Pennington, Funes, Oviedo, Cleverley, Barkley, Grant, Garbutt, Tarashaj, McGeady.
(Maybe each set of 11 players gets a half each? )

The selection comprises 16 of the current 26 aged-over-players and 6 aged-under-21 players.
Perhaps even more interesting are the 10 aged-over-21 players omitted today (some may be genuinely injured or playing with the U21 squad or still not back from post-Euro holiday, but some might just not be in RK's plans) :
Barry, Browning, Jagielka, Kone, Lukaku, McAleny, McCarthy, Niasse, Rodriguez and Stones.

I just saw Nabil Bentaleb of spurs has been left out of there pre-season tour and is probably going to be moved on, would anyone have him? I certainly would, he's quality for 21.

People need to get off the kids back he could be truly world class but needs the supporters backing got well annoyed last season the amount of fans I ended up arguing with because all they did was scream at the boy for being poor under Koeman he will be given direction and a set role watch the boy go this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm with you Blue79. What these armchair supporters above can't seem to realise is that Barkley had the most contribution to an Everton midfield since 1985.
