Balogun deal is off according to Ornstein.
Folarin Balogun transfer from Monaco to Everton off. Deal for 25yo #ASMonaco striker renegotiated after issues during medical & deal sheet submitted; but USA international decided not to proceed + left #EFC training ground without signing.
This is exactly what we feared would happen. Now it looks like we are up the proverbial creek without a paddle. You can't make this up.

The words I would use are not printable. Would the front office brass have the stones to show up at the next home game?

Absolute s***show, mate, but do you expect anything else when Everton are involved? Always leave it too late, and always f*** everything up! Some people's heads need to roll after today's farce and need replacing! Watch us end up signing a 36yr old free agent! But saying that, Michael Antonio is free hahaha.

Wow!
What a f****** disaster!
02 Sep 2026 01:09:39
Someone has to take responsibility and walk.
Absolute awful club.

And then some, it can only ever happen at Everton, blood is boiling.

Agreed, Col.
I predicted it around 4 hours on social media, exactly what would happen.
Wouldn't be surprised if Moyes walks tomorrow.
Grealish will be fuming too, and other bigger players that have promised investment.
Whilst the board and cleaning up with 50 pound notes.

Wrote a longer one on this in "Banter".
Dusan Vlahovic? - FA, so no fee, and can be signed as EFC is not at 25 players. Crazy wages though ..
Use enough of the Balogun funds to pay the wages.
.. All I can come up with, as this epic debacle sets in.
02 Sep 2026 01:51:37
I guess Vlahovic signed with Besiktas? (missed it)
There goes that idea ..

No other words for it! Club is an absolute disgrace. Feel sorry for Moyes as it's not his fault! Can't even use Braidon Graham as I'm sure he's on a 3 match ban. Laughing stock of the Premier League.
{Ed025's Note - im speechless Grantham..

Bala-gone!

We are a shambles, can't blame Balogun for walking away
Kinnear might be ok on the business side, but clearly out of his depth when it comes to dealing with the football side.
Livid.

Apparently we left him at the training ground for 10 hours while we tried for Zirkzee. Then, when that failed, we went back to Monaco to renegotiate. Wouldn't exactly make you feel wanted.
