Just found out some very upsetting news that Armstrong is a big Red. Imagine he won't flinch at a move down the line. What a shame.

02 Feb 2026 17:14:47
Quite sure Liverpool won’t be making a move for Armstrong though to be fair with the players they’ve been signing. I think we’re safe there.

02 Feb 2026 18:16:50
Wasn’t necessarily meaning Liverpool DPP. Being a red, there will likely be no sentiment there.

02 Feb 2026 18:17:55
Carrager was a big blue didn't stop him from turning.

02 Feb 2026 16:28:09
Still haven't released confirmation of George, I think we can safely say this will be the only incoming providing he passes his medical. Seen Mateta has failed his, makes me nervous.

02 Feb 2026 16:27:47
Just go and get Juanlu . He is 10m.

02 Feb 2026 16:10:46
Just seen on sky That's O'Neill it's going to remain with us Put him in the under 21 to the rest of the season.

02 Feb 2026 16:51:00
Could just be posturing, push the price up, plenty of teams still looking to do business.

02 Feb 2026 15:11:52
If reports are true that Beto and mcneil are wanted by other clubs i would sell them even if we haven't got replacements in.
There's only 14 games left so whoever we do have left we can see how they do and then there won't be any of the they need a run of games to see if they are any good.


Its highly unlikely we will get relegated and then go big in the the summer window.
Or just get a couple of loan players in.

02 Feb 2026 15:51:42
We’d need another striker if Beto goes.

02 Feb 2026 15:59:46
McNeil staying despite interest from palace and forest apparently.

02 Feb 2026 16:39:13
From a business perspective it’s the ideal. Desperate bidding means overpriced selling. But we will be light so there needs to be minimum risk for me. Can’t lie, the idea still makes me nervous if no incomings.

02 Feb 2026 14:47:58
Apparently palace want Dwight McNeil can we Evertonians start a extremely rapid crowd funding for his taxi 🚕 fare I am begging you 😜🫣🤣🤣🤣😂.

02 Feb 2026 15:07:40
And to think someone on here said Glasner would be an improvement on Davey, says it all trying to get McNeil.

02 Feb 2026 15:18:58
£20 million yes pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese.

02 Feb 2026 15:23:53
I hope this is true 👍.

02 Feb 2026 15:58:55
Been a while since last posting but just to chip in, McNeill to Palace isn’t a Glasner signing it will be their player recruitment team, which is one of the factors in him wanting to move on

£20m is what we have gone back to say we will do a deal at.

02 Feb 2026 14:40:13
Day 2007 and the Everton scouts have finally been taken off furlough. 4hrs 20mins remaining of deadline day.

02 Feb 2026 13:47:22
We might have been saved it looks like Kalvin Phillips is on his way to the blades for the rest of the season phew 😅.

{Ed025's Note - thank god..

02 Feb 2026 13:01:06
Does Moyes highlight which players he wants and the "recruitment" team then attempts to get them in or do the "recruitment" team highlight the players and Moyes says yes or no. Dithering Dave has history so just wondering.

02 Feb 2026 13:46:29
Not sure how our recruitment team earn their money every 12 months, only seem to come alive on last few days of the window, twice a year, do we have a structure plan in place like other clubs?

{Ed025's Note - we do seem to struggle with time lines Uran, we are always last minute buyers and never seem to bother at the start of windows mate..

02 Feb 2026 14:46:39
From the outside it looks a complete mess. Get deals done early I might be persuaded that they actually had some targets.

02 Feb 2026 17:01:09
Can’t buy if clubs don’t want to sell.

02 Feb 2026 12:25:11
Another transfer window goes by without us signing a right back (yes we have Patterson) to fill Coleman’s boots. It looks as if Holm has gone elsewhere and after the debacle with the Fulham fullback in the summer window we are left filling the role with a centre back.

The recruitment team need to get their act together and instead of signing over priced wingers put more effort into filling the RB position.

02 Feb 2026 14:00:19
I can see George as the only signing now, providing he passes his medical.

02 Feb 2026 12:09:43
The talk has now died down, but watched Sheffield u recently, their right back was, it seems, on our agenda from what I have seen of him, he would have been a big step forward .
But our recruitment team couldn't attract fly's to . t .

02 Feb 2026 14:48:35
I think half of the problem is the press, mainly the click bait sites on the Internet, that link us to every player and his dog as the windows approach. Some fans jump on these rumours as if they are gospel and, when that particular move doesn't ring true, we have fans up in arms.

Prime example is kalvin Philips. Plenty of reports up until yesterday claiming we were after him yet it looks like he is on the way to Sheffield right now. Probably best to hide away from the noise and the club will tell us when a player is coming through the door.
