Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

Should definitely get Nathan Redmond 2 million quid!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agreed wouldn't take much out of our budget and has the potential to be an excellent player.

Agree0 Disagree0

The lad is way below top class, so thanks but no thanks. If he was good enough, the price would be much higher, the queue much longer.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2013 00:25:45
So a player in the last year of his contract playing for a team which has to sell should going for more than 3m tops oh and he plays in the championship! Arr you nuts? I would jump at the chance to sign redmond for anything below 4m and the queue needs to be longer let's see norwich, fulham, west brom, southampton, villa, sunderland and stoke are interested whereas chelsea, united, bayern and maybe real were interested in lewandowski? Wow lewandowski must be poor

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 21:12:19
Release clauses are minimum upfront payments required to access contract offers to players. Nobody but Felli and his people and Everton know the requirements of his buy out clause, it could be 24 million with 30% re sale, or a further 15% for a trophy within 2 years or anything so it's not as simple as we will pay 24 therefore we get player x eg Cavani issues, the guy would be bought by anyone if it was just a case of reaching x amount of cash.
We will buy and we will try not to sell. There is nothing (this will be clarified on Thursday at the GM) saying we need to sell to buy. We want and the clubs direction is to not sell. RM will buy 3-5 players be that squad or first team and the club will back him aiming for no 1st team players to leave in the process. Should players want away then things change but Baines, Jags and Felli have all stated they will kick off in August so the other potential sales will not add greatly to the budget. Look if Real say Felli lad we want ya he might go but he is not going to another prem club so just stop it. Let the club get on with the business of trying to make us better. People need to recognise and realise that simply saying we will give u x amount for said player does not come close to a transfer. Player x has to agree, has to want to move potentially himself and his family it's not a simple process.

Svenny

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Says the man who said Vitor Pereira was nailed on to be next boss. There are some things money can't buy for everything else there's Svenny. Priceless!

Agree0 Disagree0

People just need to calm down and just let our new manager Vitor Pereira get on with his job.

Mike

Agree0 Disagree0

I second that Svenny.
What people seem to forget is that Bill said he would keep our most important players (Baines, Jagielka, Fellaini!) and that the new manager will have a huge war chest to improve the current great squad.
For all you Kenwright haters and FIFA13 players, there are surprises to come. Some of you all won`t welcome it at first (Cahill, Coleman, Jagielka spring to mind!)
However come the first game versus Norwich we will all be cheering our beloved club with an upmost pride and ambition.
Sailor

Agree0 Disagree0

Since when did he say there would be a huge war chest? He said he'd give Roberto a few quid to spend. Now if your interpretation of that translates to 'huge war chest' who am I to disagree?

Agree0 Disagree0

So what do we learn from this? That Fellaini and Baines will be sold at the end of August? And Roberto has to sell to buy. Oh, and the EGM is tomorrow.

Agree0 Disagree0

Kenwright haters you say, well i'm starting to think some of this lot are Everton haters as they never seem to have anything positive to say about our club.

Agree0 Disagree0

Huge war chest or did he say a few quid to spend, I know which i'd prefer because I haven't got war chest myself, waiting for so more info off you svenny because last time you was spot on, I think

MikeDeBlue

Agree0 Disagree0

I had info that Pererea was spoken to by Kenwright at a time when no other manager had been approached. This is the case. Vitor Pererea was interviewed and was offered a position. For reasons unknown to me he opted not to. So considering no other manager at the time had been interviewed yes it was pretty nailed on.
Get over it. Why is passing on information deemed to be such a crime by some? I tell you what if you don't like information or rumours you really don't have to be on here, it's your right to not have to go on the Internet at all if you don't want to.

Svenny

Hey. Arsenal fan here. I was just wondering how you guys would feel if we did sign Fellaini? {Ed025's Note - sad to be honest mate, he is a really good player

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I would question his ambition if he went to Arsenal as they win bugger all nowadays just like us. He may aswell stay here if he doesn't go to Chelsea or Man U/City or he should go abroad.

Mike

Agree0 Disagree0

Gutted. He's a great player that will continue to get better. Nearest I've seen to Viera and could be the missing link for you guys.

Forget higuain this is the guy to make a difference but hopefully with us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Personally gutted as you lot are no better or worse than us at the moment, very even sides as we seen in both games this season, but he'd tilt you lot into contenders again, so underrated, looks lazy at times yet when you look at the stats the distance he covers and tackles he makes is huge, 24million is a steal, we can't replace his overall game with one player for cheaper than that so i'd like to keep him and build round him and barkley

Agree0 Disagree0

He will be a big miss but imho he a great defensive midfielder but was played behind the striker for us. If he was to go : ( I think we would have a replacement lined up and would give Barkley more playing time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gutted. Prefer to see him go overseas If he leaves. U already took arteta.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 18:31:21
pleased it would prove wenger as become lazy looking at everton players to improve is side he once was a leader in market but now asint a clue

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 18:31:30
I'm actually not that bothered Ed, he's easily replaceable and will fund moves for other players. Rather sell Felli than Baines. {Ed025's Note - i would like to keep them both mike..

Agree0 Disagree0

Really disappointed, thought he might've showed a bit more ambition.

Agree0 Disagree0

How did you feel when united signed RVP?

Nuff said.

RM needs to jib this talk of mcgeady he is not at Wigan now mcgeady is a Wigan type player not a Everton type we need to still need to sticking to the
Method of buying for the first team and
Not for the bench as Naismith is
Similar but can score a goal so I don't
Know where he would fit in IMO
He needs to buy a forward of pedigree
And put us out our misery

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 Jun 2013 18:32:12
McGeady is a good player, good signing if you ask me.

Agree0 Disagree0

A few eyebrows raised at some of moyes signings. But we did ok

Agree0 Disagree0

1000x better than Naismith.

Agree0 Disagree0

We need to sign Anil Koc from Standard Liege

looks to be a really good buy for the future.

18 years old. pacey, skillfull. cross between pienaar and mirallas

Bloody hell, martinez doesn't take over til 1st july

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 16:00:29
If Fellaini is in contract talks with other clubs then a move isn't far off.

One thing just don't expect his repacment to come in soon,

this ins't a dig.

Martinez is commentating on the con-fed cup and there till start of next month, then need to find, bid, fitness test and contract talks with replacmnet. easily three weeks and maybe more.

just sit tight

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Martinez knows he can't just buy any players. These are his first purchases with the club and will make sure they are the right ones.

Take Liverpool for instance, they haven't bought anyone that has stood out for me that will improve them. All very average players which I bet in 2 years time will playing in the reserves or off somewhere else.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 15:50:57
Right before everyone starts thinking big announcement/takeover or thinking I'm suggesting it I'm not. Just asking a question but is it normal to have press at a shareholder general meeting.

BK and the board normally like things private and would have thought with the fools out there chomping at the bit to have a go at him he'd be wanting media far away.

Any ideas?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

How do you know that the press is going to be their? Mike S

Agree0 Disagree0

It's on the statement that was released today on the website. It states to report on the events of the evening but normally that's released by the club and anything leaked by attendees.

It might be the norm but just asking.

Agree0 Disagree0

Blue,
It is usual to have press at the Shareholders meetings, however usually just local and club press. If the information you have that national press will be there then my guess would be that something big is happening (although it could just be a resignation of a board member!)

had a bit of an argument with a mate today he is a kopite he said jordi alba is better than baines, god just because he scored two goals against nigeria all of a sudden he is the best left back in the world. opinions lads?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

A Kopite? Need I say more?

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 15:09:11
We all know Baines is better than Alba, just look at his stats compared to every other left backs, Kopites say otherwise because they hate us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry lads Baines is class but Alba is world class imo and is only young too and going to get better.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 15:49:51
I would go for Alba, Baines is up there though, definitely in the top 5.

Mike

Agree0 Disagree0

Jordi alba was a frinch player before his season before joining barca, michael ball could play for barca or spain and look world class

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 15:24:38
Alba is faster that's all, does bugger all against big teams like real madrid like in the cup di maria had a field day against him and for spain scoes vs tahiti and nigeria that's it did nothing vs bayern munich were it was his fault for all of munichs goals baines is better crosser better defender better passer better link up play better set pieces and oh beyern munich wanted baines and is apparantly wanted by chelsea, united, arsenal and napoli who was after alba? No one barca bought him because he is spanish and is in the same mould as dani alves he can attack but cannot defend and if he was so good why did valencia get rid of him for so cheap? don't listen to kopites they are the most deluded and clueless fans in the world

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah they also say that suarez isn't a racist, Gerrard doesn't dive and reyna uses just for Men ;-)

Toffee ace

Agree0 Disagree0

Look at the stats best lb in the world for the last 3 seasons

Agree0 Disagree0

Alba, Coentrao and Criscito are all better than Baines {Ed025's Note - in your opinion...certainly not mine!..

Agree0 Disagree0

No doubting Alba is good but not at Baines' s level. Cole is still rated by others to be the best left back in the world and his England place is under serious jeopardy from Baines. Me personally think/know Baines is better than Cole. Think there is some kopite jealousy because we got Baines and they have Enrique.

Agree0 Disagree0

Alba-world class? On what planet is that then? FIFA 13? FM?Certainly not earth. He's good going forward and has a bit more pace than Baines, but that's it, very dodgy at the back. Given a choice I'd have Baines over Alba every day of the week. He's not in the same league as Baines. Baines is on another level altogether.

Agree0 Disagree0

Definitely alba is better than baines better technical player is alba.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 20:15:08
Better technical player? How? Literally alba is faster that's all baines better at EVERYTHING else and to the poster who listed them 3 players one is real madrids 3rd choice left back another I already mentioned and criscito? He is practically a centre back and is in the treatment room half the time {Ed025's Note - im with you skittle..

Agree0 Disagree0

Alba just darts down the wing at speed waiting for one of the special ones to feed him in, baines doesn't have iniesta or xavi and still does a lot more than alba with the ball

Agree0 Disagree0

Its only because Baines plays for a non champions league team he gets overlooked. but stats and watching him every week shows he is definitely the best LB there is in my opinion

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 13:10:37
hi ed I see the dark side and the council announce plans to redevolope analfield, any chance of them helping us redevelope goodison

blue daz {Ed052's Note - I haven't heard anything. A new groundshare was put forward a bit ago (1/2 years) but nothing came of that}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It would be even better if our board put their hands in their pockets to help us instead of us going cap in hand to the council all the time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Council have played a blinder. Save us a few quid on the training ground to keep us happy whilst they announce huge plans to redevelop them lot across the park. What would you rather have? Training ground rent decrease or help with stadium redevelopment. I know which one I'd rather have. Total joke

Hi All,

Liverpool Fan in peace!

Just wanted to say a bit about your new manager!

He is without doubt one of the nicest and classiest people I have ever met in football and I really hope he does really well at your place.

My son went to quite a few Wigan games last year, and his team got a full tour before a game (Swansea) ( they do it every home games with differnet kids teams) and RM went out of his way to have a chat with all of them, when he must have had a lot already on his plate with the importance of the game.

If Fellani goes (as you seem to think) and you get James McCarthy and Honda (again rumoured) and a couple of other players I think you could push on again.

Liverpool and Everton battling it out again near the top would be nice!

I know being nice doesn't always cut it, but I really hope that he does.

Good luck and see you in the Champions League next season lol!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ah a nice kopite

25 Jun 2013 15:07:23

Anybody know Honda's wages? I heard that he rejected a contract for 2.5mil a year, however I have also heard that he is on 1500000 a week. Anyone know?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

1.5 million a week, are you sure

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope there's at LEAST one to many noughts on that figure!!

Agree0 Disagree0

1500000 a week? Lol typo I know it just sounds funny.

I highly doubt he'd be on 150 000 per week at CSKA. I think it will be a lot closer to 50 000. He'll be asking for more if/when he moves this summer but I think it's well worth it considering how big he is in Japan.

AussieBlue

Agree0 Disagree0

He means 150,000k.

25 Jun 2013 08:55:59
OK.

KEISUKE HONDA. is available, Contract runs out with Moscow in 6 months.
Are Everton in the line to sign him.
MMM?

This is more smoke and mirrors, this guy is good, but when there are at least 6-8 Uk German and Italian clubs all in Europe this coming season ahead of us, Plus maybe a million pound payoff to Moscow, add to that 120k a week min.

Get real,, Lads The only Honda at Goodison will be in the car park.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

120k a week?! try 65k pal

Behave will you, we'll see Honda at Goodison next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

He is on 85k Euros tax free in Russia.

So to match that here We would have to pay him 120k in sterling. as he would be taxed.

OHHH. forgot the BV account. LOL

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 14:14:54
Get real? I think Honda could realistically sign for Everton, of course it will be tough, but it could happen.

Honda has stated he wants to try his hand in the Premier League. The CL clubs seemingly aren't interested, the s**** have other targets in mind, besides they have signed two attacking minded players already, the biggest rivals for his signature, as it always seems is Spurs, but they have an abundant of players capable of playing in the attacking mid role, and since Bale plays there, the chances of Honda displacing him in that position is extremely slim, and in a World Cup year, where he is one of the main stars for Japan, I would think he would like to start some games.

That leaves Everton, a team that was right in the mix for Europe for the whole season, can give him a decent wage (surprisingly is on pretty low wages) and to me, would be a certain starter in the attacking mid role.

Of course, he might choose Milan or someone, but no harm in giving it a go. For 5mil, would be a brilliant acquisition. Imagine a trio of Mirallas, Honda and Pienaar, behind a top class striker, would be amazing!

Fingers crossed it happens

Agree0 Disagree0

You can tell misery guts is back and spreading his misery all over the site again. Mike S

25 Jun 2013 08:01:49
I don't get why we have no money according to some of you.
We went for fer and Negrado in January that would have been an outlay of 25 mil plus were we get that from and more importantly were has it gone

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No lad we didn't have ANY money in January, that's why we pulled out of the Fer deal because they wouldn't agree to a minimal payment upfront and the rest on the never never. Negredo was just a pipe dream cooked up to make it look like we were looking. We're broke as Kenwright and chums have run the club into the ground.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok what about the 52.7 mil tv money from last season

Agree0 Disagree0

Our main issue is wages. We do quite well with all other aspects of the business.

Debt is relevant, Our commercial revenue is believe it or not better than Spurs. What we do lack in is sponsorship and corporate hospitality. For this we need an improved stadium and could be worth even now without any spending on players or European football £25-40mil a season.

New stand or stadium is a must. {Ed025's Note - i agree john..

Fair enough lads thank you for explaining

if man u asked for baines we should ask for buttner as apart of the deal, thourghts

1878blue

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Are you serious? Buttner is useless and I would prefer we gave Oviedo the opportunity if Baines did leave.

Agree0 Disagree0

Or we could tell them to do one

Agree0 Disagree0

Oviedo ha don't be stupid he's no were near

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2013 17:42:15
Oviedo is a talented footballer has pace skill a decent cross and runs all day just negative arse moyes didn't give him a go buttner is good too but imo oviedo is better just seems to have that little bit more of everything and to the poster who said he is no were near did you know oviedo was wanted by Manchester United before we signed him?

Agree0 Disagree0

Bang on with the Oviedo shouts. I think he could be class.

I was worried about his build but he likes a battle and has bags of courage. He's a bit quicker than Baines and has quick feet.

He was fantastic against Norwich last season and showed what he can do.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm far from stupid, my friend. I'd rather give Oviedo a go than Buttner. (if he were signed). Opinions are like arses, everyone has one. You don't have to like it, but don't call me stupid for having one. And if I'm stupid, what are you, you can't spell 5 letter words.

Agree0 Disagree0

Oviedo is a class act. I'm from Denmark and have seen what he can do. Magician. If anything he is wasted at LB. He did a lot of his best work from wide to central left centre mid. He will have his day under RM.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jun 2013 23:22:36
Rafinha is just like his brother but higher potential. Would be great to get him on loan, then if he becomes world class (it clearly was because pfmthat loan)

To be fair to the poster above. Rafinha was linked before he posted it. So therefor it was not from fifa, thanks
