Everton Banter

If I were David Moyes I'd put Fabianski up front and proper f up the last few games. Doesn't deserve it, won West Ham their first trophy since 7 bc. Disgraceful!

06 May 2024 16:34:48
Totally Bobby.

Very fickle us football fans at times.

06 May 2024 15:56:34
Regarding the take over guys
True saying is control the controllables
And we can't control this so may as well sit back and see it through to a hopefully win win conclusion.

06 May 2024 06:55:46
Hi Ed’s despite everything that’s going on finances wise, if we were to sell Branthwaite and Onana this summer raising some funds that hopefully we could use to bring.

06 May 2024 18:44:50
As part of the above post
In some new players any info greatly welcome Ed’s.

{Ed002's Note - Not updated for a while, but:
Ben Johnson (RB) Out of contract in the summer - Feyenoord, Everton and Rangers are keen.
Harry Souttar (CB) Identified by Everton as a potential Branthwaite replacement in the summer - but it will depend on promotion/relegation, but he will be available as he is no more than a fringe player at Leicester. Seems an odd pick for Everton. May have an option in the Middle East.
Jake Clarke-Salter (CB) Agent has said the player could be seen as a Marc Guehi replacement by Crystal Palace or a Jarrad Branthwaite replacement for Everton. Prior interest of Burnley and Celtic may well have gone now.
Reece Welch (CB) Will be promoted to the first team from the U21s.
Yuta Nakayama (CB) Free Agent in the summer scouted by Everton.
Jake O'Brien (CB) Having a very good seasson in France so far and it may lead to an offer from Everton as a Jarrad Branthwaite replacement in the summer. They will continue to send scouts but he is not Home Grown which may be a concern.
Jacob Greaves (CB) Young Hull CB looked at on a number of occasions over the past year by ex-Leicester scout Jose Fontes on behalf of Roma. Seen as another potential Branthwaite replacement for Everton.
Dan Ballard (CB) Interest from Everton as a Jarrad Branthwaite replacement in the summer.
Nico Elvedi (CB) Prior interest of Roma, Wolves, Nice and West Ham has gone. An option for Everton but the player may not be keen.
Ronnie Edwards (CB) Watched by a number of PL clubs with Crystal Palace and West Ham stepping back. Everton may look to an early offer for the summer but Peterborough may ask a decent fee for him that is beyond Everton without sales.
Frank Onyeka (CM/DM) Versatile player who is happy with Brentford and the club are happy with him but he feels he should be a regular starter. Seen by Fulham and Everton as potential replacements for Palhinha and Onana and it is possible a loan might be considered. Fiorentina have been told he is not for sale but may return in the summer when they will be selling Amrabat on.
Emiliano Martinez (DM) The Uruguan plays for Midtjylland but has attracted interest from several clubs including Marseille who have held talks with his club and have been granted permission to speak to the player who they consider a suitable replacement for Matteo Guendouzi. Everton enquired after the player with his agents, and it could only be as an Onana replacement, given they have Garner as well. Unless paying over the odds it will be difficult to get a Work Permit to play in England. Basel offer an option with Xhaka and Frei now well in to their 30s. Player has said he wants to play in Italy.
Leander Dendoncker (DM/CM) Napoli are not interested in paying the €10M option and he will return to Aston Villa to be sold on. Everton offer an option to replace Onana.
Tom Krauss (CM) Relegation means Schalke will not sign the player. Darmstadt will request a loan. Looked at by Everton and Brighton but without paying over the odds a Work Permit may be difficult to obtain in England.
Merlin Rohl (CM) Scouted by Everton and Crystal Palace according to his agent.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (CM) Brighton are keen. Brentford and Fulham offer options. An Everton enquiry will go no where. I suspect one for the summer but promotion will be relevant.
Sammie Szmodics (AM/F) Having a great season in the Championship and has attracted scouts from West Ham, Everton and Leicester.
Alex Robertson (AM/CM) Has had a very good season on loan so far at Portsmouth and, if promoted, have a tentative agreement to keep him for another season at Fratton Park. Everton and Celtic have sent scouts to watch him but a move is unlikely.
Alex Matos (AM/RW) Having a decent loan to Huddersfield and has been attracting scouts from Everton - who are also tracking another Huddersfield player, Lille, Fortuna Düsseldorf and PSV at the behest of an ex Chelsea player. Chelsea will likely look to another loan rather than a sale with Bayer Leverkusen keen - but they may have a change of coach in the summer.
Luiz Henrique (RW) Aston Villa had a bid rejected in January but maintain an interest. I am not aware of an approach by Liverpool but he would provide good cover for Salah. Real Betis want to sell, or a short-term loan with an obligation to buy. That won't suit Everton.
Assane Diao (LW/RW) Real Betis youngster having a good season with scouts from Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle all attending a game against Valencia where he played well and since returning to watch him again. Everton have spoken with his agent but funds will be an issue. Real Betis want a new contract and to increase his Buy Out clause. Far from the finished article but you can expect an offer from Brentford who have been tallong to Betis about a deal for January.
Dodi Lukebakio (RW/F) Was wanted by Frank Lampard at Everton but the club refused to support a move and he moved to Wolfsburg on loan. Hertha can't resist a sale this summer due to relegation. As the player is scoring pretty regularly, Inter Milan are keen to take him as cover. Everton scouts did return to watch him against Werder Bremen.
Jack Harrison (W) Everton want a permanent deal but the player won't be interested if relegated.
Iliman Ndiaye (S/W/AM) Versatile forward who only joined Marseille in the summer of 2023 - but the goals have completely dried up. Everton have enquired after a loan but the player wants to stay in Marseille.
Boulaye Dia (S) Salernitana want to buy and resell Dia but the player wants to understand other options. Prior interest of PL clubs has drifted for now although Everton may maintain interest at the right price and but Milan must offer a better solution.
Wilfried Gnonto (F) Juventus have offered McKennie on a permanent deal for Gnoto. Manchester City want him as cover. Low-ball offer from Everton rejected. Inter offer a good solution with the departure of Correa and the player will likely be open to a return to Milan.
Che Adams (S) Potential interest of Everton and Crystal Palace.
Hugo Ekitike (F) Versatile forward that Eintracht Frankfurt have identified as a potential replacement for Randal Kolo Muani. Atalantinterest has gone. Lens offer an interesting option. Everton ideally want a loan with an option to buy but know with the growing interest of West Ham in finding a Scamacca replacement have made an offer.I expect West Ham to sound out his "representative", and I use the word in the loosest of meanings, and depending what they are told, approach PSG.
Brian Brobbey (S) Everton interest remains but so does their financial plight. Eric ten Hag has a remaining interest but I doubt that position is supported by the club. Ajax will not want to sell.
Kelechi Iheanacho (F) Roma are interested. Everton and Bournemouth have asked about his availability.
Maximilian Beier (S/F) Opted for a contract extension at Hoffenheim over a move to Brentford after a loan at Hannover. Everton and Luton have both sent scouts to watch the player.
Winsley Boteli (S) Kiddie who cannot move to England before next summer with Brentford, Everton and Brighton having sent scouts. This may allow Juventus to make an approach in January.}

With redards to 777, I am now becoming really worried about this lot and our club. The fact that the premier league are still open to the idea of them buying us if frightening. What the fuxx is the point in having a deadline, not meeting it then extending it, defeats the purpose.

There has to be some sort of fan demonstration at the ground or outside the PL hq, to bring more attention to this and stop it.

Either Moshiri is in on this or
absolutely blind to their schemes.
They are some of the worst owners
he could of found.

Just say a prayer these robbers get rejected imminently.

05 May 2024 17:55:58
Agree totally. From bbc today “ Everton's prospective owners 777 Partners and the firm's co-owner Josh Wander have been accused of a "fraudulent scheme" by a lender in a civil court filing in New York.
Everton is the latest shiny object of Wander’s fraudulent scheme, solvency aside. ”
"Upon information and belief, Wander and [co-owner Steven] Pasko are operating a giant shell game at best, and an outright Ponzi scheme at worst, that takes money in from investors and lenders and shuffles it around to various money-losing alter egos in the enterprise to disguise their true financial condition. “
It will be out the frying pan into the sh1t….

05 May 2024 21:08:24
Who is going to come and save us from this nightmare?

05 May 2024 21:48:45
I worry we will be stuck with 777 BR23. That, or a late saviour who will run us on a shoestring. I think it's the demise of a once great club.

06 May 2024 11:08:26
Maybe Warner had no intention of buying us, and just wanted a free seat to the match each game.

06 May 2024 15:02:44
One point is do we actually think our director / owner will. do the right thing for Everton football club, I personally don't get any of this, he jas to be the biggest loser in football, clueless and has he covered a lot of wrong doings, now he's waiting and waiting for what only seems a bunch of unprofessional loan sharks who are ripping everyone off , yet our owner still only wants to sell. to them, i find it all very suspicious, shy not pay off the loan out of his own money and then find another buyer with a good track record.

{Ed025's Note - far too sensible an idea that BP mate..

05 May 2024 07:39:06
{Ed's Note - BlueNose1878! has posted a new article entitled, Sean Dyche is doing his job at Everton

06 May 2024 18:16:04
Fair assessment BlueNose.

04 May 2024 13:54:28
Just a thought seeing it looks like broadhead and Cannon are going to be gracing the prem nxt season and apparently 4 prem team's are looking at simms and we said none were good enough to which we shall now see. how many youngsters have we got that according to SD aren't up to it. i'm not saying play a team full of kids but bring 1 or 2 on every now and then. just a thought because you will never win anything with kids lol.

04 May 2024 09:42:43
Wonder what barkley was talking to beto and pickford about after the match 🤔 surely he can't be thinking of coming back? Think he got advised badly with how he left but he is a lot better than anyone we have in that position and has obviously matured now. he might have found his place in football and stay with Luton but i doubt it. Any opinions lads?

04 May 2024 10:04:24
Not just about how he left.

04 May 2024 10:13:23
Barkley's problems were never on the pitch.

04 May 2024 11:12:56
Fairshout I just thought he was a d. k with how he left. I don't know what he was like off the pitch 😳 horrible person I'm gathering? And couldn't take the pressure of playing for the biggest and best team in the world COYB'S.

04 May 2024 11:32:53
He was a kid. We’ve all never made any mistakes ay? I’m sure he regrets how he left. He’d be one of our better players if he did join.

04 May 2024 12:09:11
I think both the two Luton forwards would improve us, not a Barkley fan myself too much baggage.

04 May 2024 12:10:07
As a player yes would take, no brainer as cheap, knows the club and has been excellent this season.

Downside is his off field antics and the fact he would be coming back into a city that by all accounts heade quite a few enemies and upset 1 or 2 people who let's say may hold a grudge still.

For the lads sake probably best he carries on his uprise in his career out of the city unless the darker side has been sorted and he can concentrate on his performances without the drama off it.

04 May 2024 12:36:04
Well I won't be sorry to see the back of Gomes and onana after there cameos lastnight they have definitely already checked out for me. feel sorry for harrison as he puts a shift in but to predictable going forward with no end product which is frustrating. And nowhere near the £30 million price tag i have heard Leeds want 😆😆😆😆😆 idrissa young Coleman out of contract aswell proper small squad for SD to rebuild with bargains.

04 May 2024 12:31:48
He was mid 20s .
And yes I made many co9k. ups and sometimes still do but I never phooked about with notorious gangsters. It's a pointless question because as Mocks said. He ain't comimg back to Liverpool not even to visit his gran without personal security.

04 May 2024 12:49:59
24, loads of cash and and a lack of support. Harsh to hold a grudge, but that’s people for you isn’t it.
If not him, then certainly the type we’ll be looking at - free!

04 May 2024 13:03:48
Didn't know that about Barkley. and will definitely be rebuilding with free bee's JB.

04 May 2024 13:37:25
Told to get out the city with his kneecaps still intact apparently Ronmac.

That's the other side of a professional player we probably all don't appreciate JB, bags of cash and hanger ones and where there is money and glamour follows the darker side of life and a need to have ya wits about ya and not upset the wrong kind.

04 May 2024 14:25:27
And there was me thinking he was just a c. t and like you say money glamour gangsters.

04 May 2024 08:15:55


BlueNose1878! has written an article entitled, Sean Dyche is doing his job at Everton

04 May 2024 23:09:22
Good read BN but I must disagree about DCL, I think he will score 15 goals a season if and a big if FIT. You gave Beto an excuse off feeding off scraps couldn’t you judge DCL in the same way? Opinions if course mate but he’s a must keep in my opinion.

05 May 2024 10:10:23
I meant that Beto was feeding off the scraps of games mate. As in 10 minute cameos when games were mostly away from us.

As I say DCL is a good player and think he belongs in a 2 to get the best out of him. I just don’t think he is a natural goal scorer mate. Wouldn’t necessarily get rid of him but he cost us 1.5 million and I think if fitness is more proven we could get a decent fee for him.

04 May 2024 00:27:45
1 1 not bad result pity we didn't Beat them hopefully they go down think there fans owners proper idiots . Would love burnley stay up but can't see it.

03 May 2024 22:17:17
I don't know how such deals are structured, but, if we're able to get a naming Wrights deal in place could that help get the club out of some of its debt problems ?

03 May 2024 22:35:18
Who'd pay top dollar with maybe yet another season to go before the big move? We could be liquidated or relegated or such a PR toxic disaster that no big company would want to be connected to us. I'm sure that the list is very long and distinguished and naming rights are several pages down the running order.

03 May 2024 22:38:32
Any income would help with FFP.

04 May 2024 09:15:41
Maybe the Co-op?

04 May 2024 09:33:08
You never know someone might fancy it. its not like they would have to advertise for us or anything as we are in the news almost every day for something and as they say all press is free press even if ours is probably the worst you could get football run wise. Up the toffees.
