Everton banter 8

10 Jun 2026 20:45:37
We need better lawyers, which is a bit ironic with our stadium called Hill Dickinson, our club just doesn't seem to get anything right.

10 Jun 2026 18:52:25
Can we not offer betto and Barry to Burnley and call it quits.

10 Jun 2026 19:22:07
Can we sue the Premier League for not dishing out the points deduction in the year the so called overspend happened? Cost us money in league placing.

10 Jun 2026 16:15:44
Why are we penny pinching with these transfer sums? Other clubs just agree the stated sums and then the breakdown of the paymets. We go in offer £2 and then start from there then get done when lesser established clubs agree the fee and then its done. Were going on about Shea Charles. Nobody had heard of him till he scored against Arsenal and now he has become a better option because hes not better than Hackney hezs cheaper.

You get what you pay for dont see many other clubs queing up for Charles and knowing are recent dealings with Southampton we will pay more than for Hackney with a player a lot less talented. Come on Blues give us a team to be proud of not a team buying second rate alternatives. Disheartened toffee for another season. ????

10 Jun 2026 17:00:38
Is that not business 101? You offer what you perceive the value of the product to be. That triggers negotiations and both parties try to come to an agreement.

Comparing Charles to Hackney is futile as the two of them are completely different profiles of midfielders.

Shea Charles was schooled in arguably the best youth system in the country and the best manager in the world for the past couple of decades thought he was good enough to hand him a debut for the PL Champions. He has had the opportunity to learn from 2 of the best DM's in the PL, in Rodri and Fernandinho.

On his loan move to Sheffield Wednesday, he earned their player of the year award and he was capped by his country as a teenager and has gone onto have over 30 caps.

Hackney has spent his entire career at Middlesbrough, apart from a single loan at Scunthorpe, and I imagine nobody had heard of him until this season either.

Hackney is an all-action box to box midfielder and Shea Charles is a technically gifted 6, who is tactically intelligent with very good composure, progressive passing and positional awareness.

Shame that the lad from the North West signed for Southampton for 10.5m a year ago, isn't it really? Shame we don't have scouts. But maybe we can buy him now for £40m like Dibling so we can sit them on the bench alongside each other!

10 Jun 2026 15:33:07
Is it me or is psr becoming a joke and the Premier League not only we get hit with a point deduction and forest man city have 115 charges yet f all done about it and Chelsea are finding loopholes into buying players so put all that to one side and listen I could be completely wrong but how on earth have burnley just got 40 mil compensation from us for damages its a joke like said and feel free ed for you're opinion but I think that's very harsh but its always everton ?

10 Jun 2026 18:07:24
It is and always has been a joke, Andy. Designed to keep the wealthy, successful clubs at the top. Seemingly the 'top five' are also immune to meaningful sanctions whilst we're punished harshly, and repeatedly for the same infringement. Not at all surprised.

10 Jun 2026 15:12:30
The 40m to Burnley is an outrage, on so many fronts, it must be fough every step of the way. The level of corruption of the Premier League, is almost beyond belief.
We should, step outside the Premier Leagues kangaroo court, go to courts and sue the Premier League for there original penalty, which was Holly disproportional to the minor extent of the over spend.

10 Jun 2026 15:29:08
If our appeal is denied, then how many claims will go against City for their 115 charges?

10 Jun 2026 15:49:26
Amazing how quickly they came to a decision to stick the knife in and get Man City is still ongoing. And the figure £40 isn't that twice what Chelsea has to pay for basically cheating for years!

10 Jun 2026 16:31:02
What about our loss of revenue for our points deductions, when City haven't even faced their breaches yet. Can we now sue City?
Premier League is becoming a joke now basically being controlled by a handful of clubs who, let's not forget, wanted to break away and form a European league.

10 Jun 2026 15:06:25
So we've been ordered to pay Burnley £40m

10 Jun 2026 15:04:23
Looks like we might be about to offer Idrissa Gueye an extended contract. Feels a bit like desperation in my eyes. He has declined year on year since being resigned. Feels like a bit of a sticking plaster.

10 Jun 2026 16:22:29
We should be looking for the new Gana, not hoping the old one keeps on going.

10 Jun 2026 14:30:15
Apparently have to pay Burnley £40m which is ludicrous for them being crap. Also Man City still not had any of their issues dealt with. Bang goes any new signings, Dwight will be next for a new deal.

09 Jun 2026 21:08:21
Can't believe we haven't offered £150 million for Alvarez. Another one we'll miss out on.

10 Jun 2026 06:00:09
I expect some would say they didn't want him, as he's not good enough, but would rather have Lukaku back.

10 Jun 2026 08:52:10
Probably just get all the photos done and then get pipped by Real Madrid.

10 Jun 2026 09:51:55
How old is he?

10 Jun 2026 10:40:23
Too young, needs more experience. Meanwhile, we are still trying to tie Gueye down to a new 5 year deal.

10 Jun 2026 12:50:59
Can he play right back?

09 Jun 2026 13:33:07
Think our club badge moto has been mis-translated and means
'Nothing but constant bloody moaning'.
It's an crazy amount of negativity on here and other social media sites.

09 Jun 2026 14:31:42
Agreed, I have stopped posting much. If you say the bloody obvious, it is "moaning". If you make rash predictions like "we should get 9 points from the last six games and 12 would be better", you get six thumbs up.
The reality is that we are a mid-table team with an over-the-hill manager who is happy to give a three year extension to a mediocre left-back.


We all hope and pray it will improve, and it might. I just want to see some evidence, not pie-in-the-sky predictions.

09 Jun 2026 14:44:31
Also, with many over the mill players, Mike, and they are even more to blame than the manager mate.

09 Jun 2026 14:57:24
Spot on Bunkbeds. Best to ignore the social media side of things, mate, and chat to the guys and girls next to you in the stands. We most definitely have a different opinion.

09 Jun 2026 15:26:09
Well, most of the chat is about our brand of football. Can we expect anything other than negativity?
I'll be honest, I think the fans on here speak from the heart and know our club very well. So when the club give Ilya a run of wins or an exciting addition in the transfer window, the talk turns to the positives.


So when it's a run without wins or we sign a poor left back up for another three years of garbage, I struggle to disagree with anyone who has a moan about that. So a few wins start of next season and some decent signings and I'm back on the positivity train again. Woohoo!

09 Jun 2026 16:10:56
I'm stuck on the platform waiting for the train going nowhere. But deep down hope it's the Flying Scotsman.

{Ed025's Note - good stuff BMD..

09 Jun 2026 16:13:10
Haha. Brilliant, BMD.

09 Jun 2026 16:17:30
The Rocket would be better, mate.

09 Jun 2026 17:06:36
Well GB, you can't blame the players who sat on the bench a whole season without being given a chance.
As far as the train is concerned, I just want to get on one that has a destination, not just changing at Crewe with no forwarding destination.

09 Jun 2026 17:37:01
I'm blaming some of the ones that played, mate, not good enough.

09 Jun 2026 20:20:35
And, of course, not your beloved Moyes at all, GB. When will you finally realise the man is useless and not what we want if we are to go forward.

09 Jun 2026 20:35:11
Not beloved at all, quite happy for him to have a couple of windows then judge him. If he cocks up he will be gone.

09 Jun 2026 20:54:45
Well, we have been over this many times, GB. His tactics are poor, his substitutions are crap and he relies on his favorites, add boring football and you have Moyes in a nut-shell.
Can't see much point in keeping him to see if he cocks up.

If we keep him, he has to change. Yes, better players, if we can get them, will help, but Moyes's tactics and man management have to improve, otherwise it is more wasted time.

09 Jun 2026 21:35:43
I'd say that, going by the final 7 games of the season, he's already well and truly cocked up. Costing the club European football, when it was well within our grasp and in our own hands, is an absolute disgrace, but of course Moyes believes it's progress.

09 Jun 2026 22:11:48
If anyone isn't moaning about the football served up on a weekly basis and the poor recruitment and Moyes' baseless post match observations, then need head checking.
It's been a bloody awful season yet again with no progress whatsoever.
Yet again, another season where we still need a right back and a striker for what must be the 10th season in a row.



But I can post how brilliant and upbeat the season is where I can see a plan, improvement and a style of football pleasing to the eye which is developing under Moyes - however that would be BS.

09 Jun 2026 23:35:28
3 seats to our right, a couple to our rear, and certainly most within earshot don't agree, dog Peter.
