Good afternoon folks.
I have said before on here I am not DCL's biggest fan, there is a quality striker in there somewhere but he has had rotten luck with injuries and is a little too inconsistent for me.
You could argue that he doesn't get the best service but how many big chances just he miss? Quite a few to be honest.
If I remember rightly when Sky did a piece on Darwin Nunez and how he isn't clinical enough when they put up the graphic DCL was right up there too.
He is 27 now, I believe it is a good move for him and good luck to the lad. Hopefully we can invest on a younger forward to take us forward.
Does anyone know if Minteh is a realistic option coming to us?
{Ed025's Note - i think Minteh is a realistic option Duaney..
1.) 22 Jun 2024 15:56:49
Rumours are that clubs are doing these deals to bend the rules and avoid sanctions as the rules only dictate transfer money not out of they restructure the ins so as not to count for this year so 100% the dcl and minteh deals will happen like the villa deals did and we shouldn’t have to sell branthwaite by July as we will just scrape through due to these deals. Will prob still have to sell him but won’t have our pants pulled down, good on us villa and Newcastle finding a loophole and sticking two fingers up to the premier league.
2.) 22 Jun 2024 16:25:31
Minteh would be good for us.
3.) 22 Jun 2024 21:26:29
Minted would be mint eh!
4.) 23 Jun 2024 08:54:54
I have to say DCL is a top quality striker playing in a poor side.
Put him in the Newcastle or Man U side and he’s 20 goals a season no problem.
Playing him as a loan striker with no support and he’s feeding off scraps.
I agree it’s time for him to move on, but it will be a big hole to fill if we continue with SD playing a loan striker.
5.) 23 Jun 2024 09:25:22
I kind of get what you are saying Chalkie but there is no evidence that DCL would get anywhere near 20 goals a season.
I think maybe 15 if Newcastle play to his strengths which I'm not sure they will.
6.) 23 Jun 2024 12:34:05
The way we play with just one up top no striker is going to get 15 or 20 goals.
{Ed025's Note - thats my worry as well Harlex..
7.) 23 Jun 2024 23:28:32
Not sure how you can guarantee he gets 20+ goals for United given how bad they are and the fact that Holjund is a much more complete finisher than Dom is and even he couldn't even get close to that.
17 Jun 2024 21:11:38
Gnonto rumours resurfacing. is this just lazy journalism guys?
Surely we aren't in a position to buy at the moment.
1.) 17 Jun 2024 22:01:54
Maybe after 30th June. You’d imagine he’ll be leaving Leeds along with a few others.
2.) 19 Jun 2024 23:38:06
Would leave gnonto. I don't rate him at all.
02 Jun 2024 10:21:14
I am very sorry if this has been answered eds, I have been on and off here pretty sporadically lately.
Ed002, what do you think the chances are of Everton going into Administration? You know a lot more about where Everton are than we do at the moment.
There is so much negative news at the moment it is difficult to see where the positive outcome comes from.
{Ed002's Note - The issue the club now have is very much time based. £159M due to MSP Sports Capital last month was not paid so they could force Everton in to Administration but will not want to do that. They would perhaps look to take on a partner or two and look to buy the club - but that takes time, but that would be the best option to me and then they could look to sit down with the creditors and restructure the debt. Rights and Media funfing are owed £225M and will also not want to put the club in to Administration. However, the matter of the £210M owed to 777 Partners is dependent on something else. It is possible that 777 Partners will seek Chapter 11 bancruptcy protection whilst it re-organises the business. However, they could be forced down the Chapter 7 route which will see a Trustee (like an Administrator) take over a recover all debts and sell all assets to distribute to pay debts of their own. This would put Everton at huge risk and needing to find £210M or more quickly to repay 777 Partners. A suggestioin that John Textor would look to take the club in to the same group as Lyon and Botofogo is credible. However, it is not something that could happen overnight as he is a part owner of Crystal Palace and would need to sell on first, then go through the whole process to obtain approval from the Premier League, FA and the Financial Conduct Authority during which time the club can only accrue more debt or enter Administration whilst they wait. Right now, the club will have to find a way to restructure at least some of the debt or head in to Administration during the close season.}
1.) 02 Jun 2024 10:56:58
Morning Ed, if John Textor is already involved in a club would he always need to gain approval.
{Ed002's Note - Yes. He has to sell then gain approval - but it should be easier for him.}
2.) 02 Jun 2024 11:46:59
I was reading MSP were looking to get shares in Tottenham Hopefully just more rumours but were would that put us if it's true Ed?
{Ed002's Note - That is correct, they are talking with Spurs.}
3.) 02 Jun 2024 12:55:11
Thank you again Ed for the detailed answer. This situation is an absolute nightmare.
28 May 2024 11:49:17
Kalvin Phillips - no thank you.
Thinks he is far better than he actually is, we need to stay away from this sort of signing.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely Duaney, thinks hes the big i am when really he is a very poor player mate..
1.) 28 May 2024 12:20:03
Hard to argue against his form in the past couple of years. It was not a poor player that Pep saw and spent big on though. Is it possible that he can recover his previous form? Unfortunately, this is exactly the sort of player we can sign and may have to take the odd risk, we are not dining off the top table.
2.) 28 May 2024 12:38:34
Some players are made for one club and I think KP is one of those players. He needs to go back to Leeds where he is loved and respected by the fans, pick himself up and see if he can hit the same levels as he did a few years back. Not a bad player but I was surprised that Pep took a gamble on him, he was never a City type of player for me.
3.) 28 May 2024 13:06:42
Is he to replace Gomes if we get him.
4.) 28 May 2024 13:27:33
I like the look of Sheaf from Cov gents.
He has good pedigree with having spent most of his career at Arsenal, despite only playing for them once.
I have watched him at Cov a few times when I was seeing how Simms was getting on.
A proper midfielder who has the ability to do it all. Aggressive in the press, great at stealing the ball and decisive and clean when he goes to ground.
He is calm in possession, has a lovely first touch and likes taking the ball under pressure to either play it round the corner or spread one out to the flanks to start progressing play. He always looks to play forward and can spray a decent ball. He actually has decent feet too and can get out of tight spaces when the opposition press him and then carry the ball forward.
If we actually have any money to spend on a midfielder when Onana goes, he would be a fantastic signing and would walk straight into our team. Although that isn't very difficult these days.
5.) 28 May 2024 13:59:59
I imagine there would be a hefty loan fee involved and we would be paying a decent chunk of his wages.
His attitude stunk at West Ham.
Surely this is where we need to be using our scouting network and using what money we have to sign a young player that could be an investment instead of dead money.
6.) 28 May 2024 14:58:44
Does anyone know if gana has or will be offered a 1 year extension just curious and for me kalvin Phillips as much as i liked him at leeds an city before injury he struggled at west ham this season i think we can look at other alternatives who could do better but we have no money and i can't see much money being generated if we do sell onana for his replacement so i think loan market will pave way for 1 or 2 signings question is who is out there that can come in on loan with options to buy but yeah interesting debate lads.
7.) 28 May 2024 14:58:47
Only seen him a couple of times on the box. But looks better than what we have, and would be a good acquisition. Hopefully Thelwell's scouts have gone as far as Coventry BN.
8.) 28 May 2024 15:37:31
Gana’s contract’s been extended by a year.
9.) 28 May 2024 15:44:36
Just keep him off the pens Brass. I am sure he laced one of the woodwork against United. Was a shame as he was top drawer in that game.
Jury is still out on Thelwell. For every Tark, there is a Vinagre.
10.) 28 May 2024 17:50:03
Oh dear here we go again with over paid players who have lost there edge, have we not learnt with the rubbish we've had over the years, couldn't even get in the squad at west ham, big no thanks from me.
{Ed025's Note - and me pasty..
06 Aug 2023 13:07:52
I am a bit puzzled about Jebbison.
I am just wondering what the Eds know and think about him.
I remember him scoring against us and then he seemed to disappear a little, I can't remember him tearing up the championship.
Can anyone shed some light on how he will drastically improve us as there seems to be a lot of excitement out there.
Please don't think I am being negative. I will support the lad 100%, just don't know a lot about him.
{Ed002's Note - Daniel Jebbison (S) Everton interest went after Frank Lampard left but it may have returned as they struggle in the transfer market. Brighton and Union Berlin have a declared interest in the Canadian. Wildcard may be Borussia Dortmund or Bayer Leverkusen.}
1.) 06 Aug 2023 15:45:54
I'm with you on this one Duaney, I know stats don't tell the full story in terms of contribution to the team but strikers are judged on goals and his minutes per goal ratio in Prem and L1 are pretty much the same as Simms but Simms has done much better in the Championship
Simms - 1200 min 7G/ 2A
Jebbison-600 min 1G/ 1A.
2.) 06 Aug 2023 18:59:28
As Ed says (in subscript) we don't have a lot to offer or attract. All of that since Moshris' arrival of ridiculous offers and wages for mediocre (Moshris' advisor suggestions) players has for over 18 months now made huge teeth marks in our financial rear end which has effectively zeroed our credibility. Hard to do I know (and my criticism a bit ott) but maybe we need to temper our expectations. None of this Everton have gone for this 40 mill player or that essentially unobtainable.
3.) 06 Aug 2023 19:20:33
Don't think majority people think we genuinely are DFS. Just the usual NewsNow repeated posts.
4.) 07 Aug 2023 09:57:50
He can’t get into the Sheffield starting 11.
5.) 07 Aug 2023 14:59:23
Why would any team buy 2 youngsters for the future when we have no money and need players to come and be effective straight away, if he was in stead of the Portuguese youngster I'd understand, we need someone with a bit of pedigree, weather that happens or not is in the hands of the Gods, personally I think once the young guy signs that's us done, I just don't see who is coming who's better and for a low cost, what we have is what will have for the foreseeable future, unless one of out better players leaves, which would be stupid as we will need them to keep us up.
If we had any money at all, we would be trying our hardest to get them in now, where are they, paper talk is all it is.

Hey everyone.
I know Moyes isn't everyone's choice but he probably is the best choice.
I don't think we have the squad to play the way Potter would want to,
Anybody who hasn't managed in the Premier league is too much of a risk at the moment.
Moves will have a positive impact, I am convinced of that. Is 2 and a half years too long gor his contract? Let's revisit that in the summer.
What we need now is to welcome him home and get behind the team.
Make Goodison intimidating again, teams hated coming here under Moyes'first stint.
Let's not forget he got us into the champions league qualifiers with a front line of Marcus Bent and James Beattie.
He brought in players like Baines, Jagielka, Piennaar, Arteta, Cahill, Lukaku, Yakubu.
He made amazing signings like Nigel Martyn, Tim Howard and Distin.
Got the best out of Lee Carsley and Thomas Gravesen.
And last but not least the best player that we never replaced Gareth Barry, who I don't think we realised just how good he was until he left.
The man knows what he is doing and was treat like crap by West Ham.
And we have seen how their fortunes have changed since they won the Europa conference league.
There was some tough times under Moyes, I will admit that.
But we did play good football under him too.
This is probably the most important 6 months in the club's history now, let's all get behind the team until the give us a reason not too.
I could rent on more about how we had the best left back/ left winger combination in the Premiership with Baines and Pienaar, both Moyes' players.
All we need to do is survive this season and see what the options are in the summer. hopefully score a goal along the way!
{Ed025's Note - good post that Duaney..
1.) 11 Jan 2025 09:37:26
Cracking post DB but martinez signed Lukaku and Barry I'm not being a clever dick. Good post that ?.
2.) 11 Jan 2025 10:01:35
Good post that mate and remember the pienaar an baines combination days down the left ohh man they was the days and Evertons 4.3 against united which i was there that day best match i have been to ?.
3.) 11 Jan 2025 10:24:50
Fair play, Martinez did sign Lukaku and Barry lol.
31 Dec 2024 11:01:41
I very rarely get wound up by Football these days, I am 42 and supported Everton since I can remember.
I think we can all say in that time we have been through a lot.
But that brings me to my point. that little rat Neal Maupay, how can someone who was possibly the worst signing we have Moshiri come out and be so disrespectful.
Yes, he got some abuse that I would not condone but move on and leave things in the past. why invite more hatred on yourself. especially when you are talking about your current employers, who are probably still paying a percentage of your wage.
Absolute muppet.
Are there any grounds for terminating is contract?
Marseille should punish him too.
1.) 31 Dec 2024 12:23:32
If Marseille had anything about them they’d fine him.
2.) 31 Dec 2024 13:17:01
People in glass houses mate. The horrible little man has scored 3 goals, at most, in the last year. That suggests he should look at himself, ensure he's at the top of his game, before spouting his mouth off.
07 Dec 2024 16:37:46
Not Everton related but let's hope Michail Antonio makes a full recovery after his car crash.
{Ed014's Note - yes it doesn’t sound good with the comments made, fingers crossed it’s not serious.
1.) 07 Dec 2024 19:00:14
Looks a bad one that mate, hopefully he is ok and makes a recovery.
2.) 07 Dec 2024 20:06:54
Stable now apparently.
05 Dec 2024 09:13:10
I don't think this is going to be popular, but the weakest link in our defence over the last 2 or 3 games has been Branthwaite.
He was all over the place against United, and was very sloppy yesterday.
Then nearly got himself stupidly in trouble when we were 4-0 up. Just don't get involved, point at the scoreboard if someone is p*ssing you off.
Our squad is wafer thin without stupid suspensions.
1.) 05 Dec 2024 10:02:21
Really?
2.) 05 Dec 2024 10:35:33
Branthwaite was good yesterday, strong and strong in the tackle
90% pass accuracy
4 passes in to final third
2/ 2 tackles won
4 clearences
4 interceptions
10 defensive actions
8 recoveries
dribbled past 0
tamper your expectations a bit if you think that's poor/ weak link for a player still getting back up to speed after a lengthy lay off, nowhere near getting sent off he gave him a little shove haha!
3.) 05 Dec 2024 11:19:46
Duaneyboy1878 then you need to change your glasses. He had one bad game (UTD) as did most. Our weakness is on the left and needs serious thought by our super tactician before facing Salah.
4.) 05 Dec 2024 11:26:40
We need more of that hard tackles and get in their faces, about time the Team showed some metal.
5.) 05 Dec 2024 12:08:21
Bizarre post. Bad game vs United like them all, absolutely fine last night. He reacted with a soft push to Larsen who dragged him down a concrete slope, no big deal. Our best player every day of the week and twice on sunday.
6.) 05 Dec 2024 12:27:32
Well Duaney you did say your post would be unpopular.
7.) 05 Dec 2024 15:21:52
Centre backs always need a couple of games to get back up to speed, it’s nothing more than rust.
04 Dec 2024 21:27:43
Broja. what a cameo, looks very good.
1.) 04 Dec 2024 21:42:28
Like the look of him. Proper number 9.

I hope he can recapture his best form but it seems like a long shot.
Definitely last chance saloon for Dele.

I like the change in direction with potential signings, this is the correct business model to take?.

At Brentford he has a good thing going and job security.
I fully believe Moyes till the end of the season then get the right man is the way forward.
{Ed025's Note - i dont know if Moyes would accept a 6 month spell Duaney i suspect not, but i would certainly not want him any longer than that mate if we are to move forward mate..

Why on Earth would he leave Brentford?
16 Nov 2024 14:44:29
So saddened and shocked to read this. you will be missed so much on here Ed002, RIP mate.
Most of the time we had good chats on here, I think we fell out once lol.
Such a good guy to put his time in to this website and was very knowledgeable.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this terrible time.
31 Aug 2024 11:20:31
A rb and lb would have made it perfect.
Got a feeling Chermitti night play out wide when fit.
All in all a good window though.
