If reports are true and we can get Richard Rios for 16 mill, he should have been in yesterday.
Him and Mangala in a double pivot would make us a lot stronger.
1.) 16 Jan 2025 16:49:57
I don’t know much about Rios But right now, anyone would be an upgrade on Doucs.
2.) 16 Jan 2025 17:09:20
He's a very good player a massive upgrade on Dacoure.
3.) 16 Jan 2025 20:04:19
Dunno who he is but even Richard Gere would do a better job that doucoure.
14 Jan 2025 09:30:27
Richard Rios rumours surfacing again. Imagine this one is out of our reach given the price and clubs interested. Swashbuckling throwback. Would be the modern day Tommy Grav.
1.) 14 Jan 2025 10:08:30
Let's hope James is in his eye selling the club to him.
Not seen too much of him TBF though do know highly regarded.
2.) 14 Jan 2025 10:20:13
Meant ear obviously ?.
3.) 14 Jan 2025 10:55:43
He would certainly bring a lot to the middle of the park mate. Defensively he is very good but it is his ball carrying and ability to beat the press that would help us most. Can't see this one happening though. He won't come cheap and European clubs after him.
4.) 14 Jan 2025 15:42:01
Would give anything for Tommy Grav type of player, he was the business mate.
5.) 15 Jan 2025 01:43:46
Heard people on x saying we can get another loan in the way of a non European loan, no idea if true but if it is it makes sense.
14 Jan 2025 08:14:12
Probably a bs rumour but if it is true that KWP is available for 7m, why would we even blink at that price. Granted, he may be leaving for free in the summer but then he will have a pick of every man and his dog. 7m is an absolute snip for a player of his versatility and quality and the sell on value would still be there due to his age.
To secure 2 full backs for years to come for around 15m in KWP and Rensch would be astute business. It would almost guarantee PL survival on it's own.
1.) 14 Jan 2025 08:37:21
He should be one we’re interested in, agreed. Others will be too of course, and the player my feel that waiting until the summer when he’s free, gets him a bumper pay day.
2.) 14 Jan 2025 08:47:14
Good shout mate be very happy with those two.
3.) 14 Jan 2025 09:21:11
You're not wrong JB. Me too GB. Would much rather us pay for them 2 than the reported price for this lad from Lyon. He can't even get into Lyon's team.
4.) 14 Jan 2025 11:25:08
The Lyon player may have great future potential, but his stats, at this time are no better than Harrison . We need someone who can hit the ground running, contributing to assists, and goals.
There was talk of a Turkish player, had goals and assist on his CV, plus, was cheaper, and about 25, sounds a more attractive option.
5.) 14 Jan 2025 14:23:49
So both are right footed so are you thinking both for cover at right back depth or one at left back?
But both would be exciting signings.
6.) 14 Jan 2025 16:32:14
Both are right footed ST but both can play on either side comfortably. Both comfortable in a back 4 or 5 and young Rensch has played CB and even DM for Ajax and scored form every position.
7.) 14 Jan 2025 17:24:26
I know they can play many positions, as can Lamptey who is also out of contract in the summer
Issue comes on the overlap and crossing like Moyes likes from fullbacks. All the modern fullbacks we need though
I could see one not both, would love Rensch as he’s only about to turn 22 but then KWP has prem experience
Would love to see a left footed version of any of them as well ?.
8.) 14 Jan 2025 18:51:05
Fair point made ST mate but KWP can overlap no problem from what I have seen.
I think with him being available on the cheap, it would make sense and secure both of our flanks with young Rensch. He is easily a 20/ 25m player and we could pick him up for 5/ 10m due to his contract.
Coleman and Young no spring chickens and may be gone in summer. Patterson, imo, has not shown enough since he joined. People may argue that he hasn't been fit etc but surely that is a metric worth measuring. Having Rensch and KWP available as RB's would be fantastic, especially with both being able to cover multiple positions if needed as well. Shrewd business indeed.
9.) 15 Jan 2025 01:44:10
Rensh is off to Roma.
10.) 15 Jan 2025 11:06:20
Would both make sense BlueNose especially with the versatility but I think we need a left footed left back as Mykolenko has been too up and down in performance this season, more down a lot would say
If he does end up at Roma KWP and Lamptey are both available in the summer and would add to the quality in the squad
If Patterson is then moved on and we recoup money then even better.
11.) 15 Jan 2025 13:12:58
Can't argue with that ST mate. Only worry with young Lamptey is his injury record rivals DCL's at times.
13 Jan 2025 15:50:33
Ed's, in your highly regarded opinions, do you think that the recent change in managerial/ backroom staff will have a serious affect on our ability to make moves in the Jan window?
Obviously we will have to pay SD and team a fair whack and then Moyes and new backroom team.
Will this now have swallowed up any money we had to make additions?
{Ed001's Note - yes, because salaries and pay offs come out of the %age allowable for transfers and agent fees. But they might feel it is worth taking a hit and spending anyway.}
1.) 13 Jan 2025 16:04:52
Thanks Ed.
If that throws us back into the danger zone with PSR, will they be risking things in the hope of a better payment from the league position and then sales in the summer to rebalance and counter any hits taken this Jan?
{Ed001's Note - they might well do, or look to recoup through player sales again in the summer with some more of those dodgy deals the PSR-threatened clubs did last summer. There are ways and means if they feel the need is there.}
2.) 13 Jan 2025 16:24:54
Don't know what you are talking about Ed. Dobbin is 100% a 10 million player.
{Ed001's Note - ah yes of course. If anything you undervalued him to make sure he could get on with his career, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.}
3.) 13 Jan 2025 20:34:56
Not that I understand the finance side but I read a piece in the echo the other day that the figures were posting for the relevant period are a loss of about £48m which is short of the permitted losses so I believe we have some wriggle room.
4.) 13 Jan 2025 21:14:27
Not sure why fans are interested in the financials’s of Everton Fc at this stage, baffling.
5.) 13 Jan 2025 21:48:05
I couldn't give a s*** about our financials. I want to know if we have the ability to improve our playing squad in this transfer window due to the recent costs of changing management.
Perhaps what is more baffling is that you feel the need to comment on it. Just a thought.
6.) 13 Jan 2025 22:43:53
Just wait and see, calm your nerves down and trust the ones in charge of our club, let them do their job that they get paid millions of pounds, we need harmony now.
{Ed025's Note - amen to that Uran..
7.) 14 Jan 2025 01:43:07
Calm my nerves down. What are you even on about you condescending fool. I simply asked Ed the question, whether he felt spending on new management staff and getting rid of the previous regime would impact our ability to make acquisitions this January. Nothing more, nothing less.
We need harmony yet you are the one promoting the opposite.
8.) 14 Jan 2025 08:40:55
Any outgoings will impact our ability to spend. Bits I’ve read seem to suggest that we’re on for now, and that any spend in January could be offset by sales or greater income in August. So, do we gamble on safety now knowing we could sell JB or someone else in the summer to cover any PSR issues? We also know our wage bill will be slashed in the summer with quite a few top earners moving on. Gut feeling is we’ll sign a few to give us a boost.
9.) 14 Jan 2025 08:47:12
To know the answer to your question to Ed is too watch this space, what will be will be, by the end of January it will be clear for everyone not just for you.
10.) 14 Jan 2025 10:04:29
So profound. Can we get a petition going upgrade Uran to Ed status please.
13 Jan 2025 15:14:30
It is rare that I read an article linking us to a player that is actually decent.
Just read that we are after Devyne Rensch. This would be exactly the type of signing to "change the story".
Surprised bigger clubs are not after him at that price tbh. Thought he would be in the 10's of millions.
Get it done!
1.) 13 Jan 2025 19:57:18
He is off to Roma mate.
2.) 13 Jan 2025 20:26:45
Gutting mate. Dan should be prioritising his investment first haha.
3.) 13 Jan 2025 21:45:07
Thought the Roma bid was rejected, just hope we don’t get into a bidding war with each other ?.

Beto to lead the line tomorrow and bully their 2 cb's. He is much better suited to how Moyes plays than Dyche. No more playing it long and running in the channels. We saw a lovely ball through the lines from young Armstrong and an easy finish from Beto. More of the same please.
If he played midweek v Villa, he bags at least 1 of those 3 opportunities.
Dcl is utter dross. Yet people still defend him. Whilst Beto may not be easy on the eye or a talent football player, he is effective and will only get more effective when he gets a run of games/ minutes and we play to his strengths.
He might turn out dross as well but at least give him a chance. Dom has had his for the whole of the season.
You've got my backing son and I am thick enough skinned to take the dogs abuse on here for the above ^^.
3 pts tomorrow courtesy of a Beto unshackled!
1.) 18 Jan 2025 18:35:33
I hope he scores but he still needs to be sold mate, he's atrocious at this level.
2.) 18 Jan 2025 19:35:32
Beto is absolute dross mate - he can’t finish, control or pass.
He’s a championship standard player like all of our forwards - and joins a long list with Sandro, Kean, Toson, Naisse as total flops.
3.) 18 Jan 2025 20:20:06
He's like an oil tanker in reverse, he takes an age to get up to top speed, he's actually pretty quick when at full tilt but he just doesn't have any acceleration. DCL is twice the player. I'd be surprised if Beto starts unless DCL is injured or has fallen out with DM. Beto would do better in a 442 but that's not happening.
4.) 18 Jan 2025 20:24:31
Like most of our team available at the moment I’m afraid. Complete clear out needed in the summer.
5.) 18 Jan 2025 20:31:44
Beto = Bamby on ice.
6.) 18 Jan 2025 20:51:34
Scored in his last start didn’t he? Has to be worth a punt until we get someone better.
7.) 18 Jan 2025 21:05:51
I'd start Keane up front before either DCL or Beto.
8.) 18 Jan 2025 21:58:59
Always dreamed of someone bringing back the big man, little man up front. Unfortunately coaching school doesn't agree, the simple game being made over complicated. Beto isn't the big man but could he be with Ndiaye alongside.
9.) 18 Jan 2025 23:51:47
Stop it. Beto and DCL are not good enough. Get rid and bring in a proper striker.
16 Jan 2025 18:54:10
I thought this last night when I watched it live but just got home from work and watched the highlights.
Whilst it was JB's mistake. Their goal could have been stopped by Tarkowski. Why does he turn the opposite way to the side Watkins is on. Not only could he have closed the angle for the pass to be made by Rogers, he could have also intercepted it, it was literally right next to him. With better body shape, that gets mopped up easily.
DCL's tragic finishing on show yet again. Why has he tried the harder technique when he has none in the first place. As that is coming to him, just put your laces through it, like you would with a half-volley.
{Ed025's Note - for me Tarks was sold down the river by Jarrad BN, we had the ball and he inexplicably fluffed his lines and gave the ball to Rodgers, thats my view on it anyway mate..
1.) 16 Jan 2025 20:33:35
He did Ed.
2.) 16 Jan 2025 21:06:03
Pickford didn’t need to be where he was either.
3.) 16 Jan 2025 21:25:53
Totally agree the mistake came from JB Ed but defenders (especially ours) should be expecting mistakes. His starting position and body shape was appalling. Just have a watch back and see him turn the opposite way to where the danger is. Why is he so far away from Watkins, leaving a gaping hole for the ball. He has been at fault for most of our goals in the last 4 or 5 games mate.
Bobby makes a good point as well. I am by no means blaming Pickford or digging him out but his starting position should have been much better/ higher. He could have got there well before Watkins if it had of been.
Anyway, on to the next one hey.
{Ed025's Note - yeah mate no use crying over spilt milk..
4.) 16 Jan 2025 21:45:21
What in goal!
15 Jan 2025 21:28:21
Does of reality.
Most of these players are sh**.
Tarkowski highly questionable again for the goal. That makes it 4 or 5 consecutive games. Sense the danger and snuff it out but no, chase the ball as per.
Mykolenko - one of the most limited footballers I have seen.
Mangala - no issues. Quality player, playing with helmets.
Harrison - if you play him, play him on the left.
Ndiaye - never rushed. Looks after the ball. Far too good for us.
Doucoure - no words.
DCL - apparently we make no chances for him. 1st half people will say it was behind him. Readjust your feet and connect with the ball - sh**. Than that one at the end. Any fan who continues to back this man is unequivocally delusional.
All the above being said, we actually played better. You can see that Moyes is telling them to be quicker on the ball and get it into the box quicker.
For me, Beto should play next game. Bin DCL off. He is abysmal. Hopefully we make some signings or changes. Get Armstrong or Lindstrom in the 10. A player with a modicum of technique and go from there. Tark should be dropped for O'Brien. Finally, get these lads back to fitness who can walk into this starting 11 e.g Garner, Tim or Chermiti.
Let's face it. Villa are a very very good side. Certainly an improvement but still very
Very poor from the usual suspects.
{Ed025's Note - i would drop Branthwaite BN, thinks hes Beckenbauer, more like harry Maguire..
1.) 15 Jan 2025 21:48:58
Agree Ed25
Branthwaite needs a rest, making too many silly mistakes.
{Ed025's Note - and every pass from him either goes sideways or back to Pickford, i never thought i would say this...but drop him for Keane and take any money we can get for MR big head..
2.) 15 Jan 2025 22:18:46
I’d drop him for O’Brien.
{Ed025's Note - that works for me as well PHH..
3.) 15 Jan 2025 22:22:13
I was speaking about JB with my brother in the Gwladys tonight Ed. Either he has lost all desire due to SD’s mind numbing football or the links to bigger clubs have made him arrogant but there has definitely been a dip in performance levels.
For me I would drop either of the CB’s but I feel Tark has made mistake after mistake for the past 4/ 5 weeks.
We need new blood urgently. Mykolenko is horrendously bad. Gueye is showing his age. Doucoure is just dreadful isn’t he. His decision making is abysmal and his execution of play is even worse. DCl needs to go. Chance after chance he misses yet some fans still protest that we don’t make chances for him.
I think tonight was an improvement overall but we are lacking quality quite clearly. We need a LB a RB and we need a striker but the most important position we should be recruiting for is the AM. No good having a decent striker if you can’t get the ball to him in dangerous areas.
I think we stay up comfortably under Moyes. He has the ability to simplify play and identify the easiest way of scoring. I saw a difference tonight but the players executing his instructions are frighteningly bad.
Let us not forget that Villa are one of the best teams in this league and the world.
We will only improve under Moyes.
{Ed025's Note - i never expected a win BN and thats what i told the dreamers mate, they are good we are bad why would we expect a win?, the thing now is how Moyes reacts, if he starts with the same team for the Spurs game then im afraid the gloves are off, now im in favour of giving the guy a chance because he has inherited a bag of crap but he has to look to change things else we might as well have stuck with Dyche, prove me wrong Dave...or else..
4.) 15 Jan 2025 22:29:01
Unfortunately Branthwaite is playing next too Mykolenko who doesn’t relieve the pressure and can’t handle tight situations, we desperately need a new left back.
5.) 15 Jan 2025 23:09:45
Yeah he is seriously poor. Amount of times pickford is looking for an out ball but has no movement or options. We don't try and stretch teams. Pickford has been a credit last couple of seasons, he's the only positive in what is a dreadful team.
6.) 15 Jan 2025 23:14:09
You and me both Ed. New manager bounces are real but the gulf in class was clear for all to see tonight. Villa weren’t good by any means but they played sharper and quicker. They missed chances tonight as well as we did but technically their players are
Night and day to ours.
Something has to change next game. Whether that is at the back or moving things around up top. People slag Beto off but give him the same 3 chances DCL had tonight and I think he sticks 1 away. Beto wants to do well with every fibre in his being. DCL is half arsed and has his eye on a big contract with another club. Give me Beto all day.
Don’t play Harrison. If you must play him, play him on the left where he at least has some historical form. Put any of Armstrong, Ndiaye or Lindstrom in the 10. Drop Mykolenko and put Young there, then either Seamus or Patt RB. Drop one of the CB’s an play O’Brien.
Then it is over to the players.
We need new faces urgently. We are absolutely pathetic.
{Ed025's Note - lets see how we line up against Spurs BN, im not expecting miracles and we do have injuries but surely he cant put out those same players and expect a different result mate?, dont get me wrong he has not got the players to change this crap show overnight because we need players of a higher standard than we have at present, but for christs sake change something ffs, we all agreed to give Moyes a chance and its only been one game against a side with far superior players so lets not call for his head just yet, come on Dave give us something for us to shout about, give us some hope..
14 Jan 2025 23:41:09
Abdoulaye Doucoure £6,760,000
Jordan Pickford £6,500,000
Idrissa Gueye £6,240,000
James Tarkowski £5,200,000
Dominic Calvert-Lewin £5,200,000
Jack Harrison £4,680,000
Michael Keane £4,160,000
Vitaliy Mykolenko £3,016,000
Bar Picko, that is absolute criminal behaviour.
1.) 15 Jan 2025 06:16:19
Crazy wages for players that are only average. Football has gone mad.
Should cap the wages for players. No wonder players are not bothered.
Like Dyche? He knew he would get a pay off. Too be fair he did well last year but this year he lost the players in the dressing room . let's support Moyes and the players and hopefully we can get out of this mess!
2.) 15 Jan 2025 08:08:23
Can’t they be done for capability lol.
{Ed001's Note - if they were capable maybe, but most of them are incapable, which is the problem...}
3.) 15 Jan 2025 09:59:01
not sure they're 100% accurate
but yeah big part of EFC is the wages they pay, huge part of PSR issues and huge highlighter of how poorly we've given contracts out
bearing in mind also DCL was originally asking for more than or equal to Pickford on his new deal before shelving talks completely.
positives?
5 of them won't be here post May, so frees up some significant room on the wage bill at least.
4.) 15 Jan 2025 11:50:45
I didn’t think of it that way Ed’s lol.
5.) 15 Jan 2025 14:09:44
The money is bonkers for sure. But if we’re honest, how many of us will be shouting at the telly at the end of this month saying “just pay the money and get him on board! ”
As a fan I’m here to celebrate the wins and sulk when we lose. As for the money, it’s mind over matter, “I don’t mind when it don’t matter”.
6.) 15 Jan 2025 17:12:32
Look the club offered them the money their hardly going to say no.
13 Jan 2025 21:10:52
Moyes first interview. Don't know how many will agree but it is so refreshing not hearing Dyche's negative drivel.
1.) 13 Jan 2025 21:50:10
Still a lot of the season to go but I found it refreshing as well
Liked what he said about Baines and that he might get other coaches for set pieces etc once he’s got to grips with the squad.
2.) 13 Jan 2025 21:56:56
First press conference that's started on time in 2 years.
3.) 13 Jan 2025 23:49:56
He gets us! That’s all I’ll say, he gets it and he gets us as Evertonians.
I’m actually quite optimistic about the rest of the season now.
4.) 14 Jan 2025 03:10:04
100% agree Benny.
5.) 14 Jan 2025 11:51:34
Its going to take time and he doesn't have an easy start. Villa and Spuds are two good sides, I would chew my own arm off for 4 points and just a nibble for 2.
17 Jan 2025 23:07:16
Certainly no sticky toffee puddings on the menu mate.
17 Jan 2025 16:37:58
Hahah love it Ed mate.
17 Jan 2025 16:05:28
You'd think that we could maybe get another one of their players on loan instead, so they don't lose out on any money.
KDH or Chewbacca would give us a lot more in the middle that is for sure.
{Ed025's Note - or if not ask for Luke Skywalker BN.. :)
17 Jan 2025 15:31:50
I hope it is us out. Worse Adama Traore.
17 Jan 2025 10:55:52
Dewsbury Hall would be a fantastic addition. Chilwell made of butter.
18 Jan 2025 16:59:30
2 really good young CB's v a good young CB that has had the life sucked out of him and a carthorse who treads treacle.
Young attacking fullbacks that put every ounce of effort into a match
Workhorse CDM's
Pace out on the wings.
A manager that has a clear way of playing and has them all working cohesively.
Night and day.
18 Jan 2025 15:29:55
I actually would take any of their attacking mid/ wing players over him gents.
Cherki
Mikautadze
Fofana
All better.
18 Jan 2025 15:23:58
Seems all bark and no bite to me ST. Much better that we could go after imo.
18 Jan 2025 13:39:54
If Cherki is available, I would pay double what we are for Nuamah. The lad is pure class.
16 Jan 2025 21:25:53
Totally agree the mistake came from JB Ed but defenders (especially ours) should be expecting mistakes. His starting position and body shape was appalling. Just have a watch back and see him turn the opposite way to where the danger is. Why is he so far away from Watkins, leaving a gaping hole for the ball. He has been at fault for most of our goals in the last 4 or 5 games mate.
Bobby makes a good point as well. I am by no means blaming Pickford or digging him out but his starting position should have been much better/ higher. He could have got there well before Watkins if it had of been.
Anyway, on to the next one hey.
