Eds, is there anyone at the club with enough interest and seniority to sack dyche?
{Ed002's Note - Timing would now be wrong.}
1.) 24 Aug 2024 17:41:31
Do we lose more games though before they sack him as they eventually will as the fans will make it happen.
2.) 24 Aug 2024 18:31:49
Well we have let in 7 in two games and he still keeps O'Brien on the bench. The combination of Stubborn and Stupid is a bad one.
3.) 24 Aug 2024 18:40:55
He want get sacked until new owners come in, whenever that will be.
4.) 24 Aug 2024 18:42:17
We are only two games in. He did a good job last season and the season before, despite everything. He deserves more time to turn things around and I think he will. We need to not panic.
5.) 24 Aug 2024 20:13:39
Deluded.
6.) 24 Aug 2024 21:14:16
He did an average job because he’s an average manager, who cons supporters by pounding them with sound bites.
7.) 24 Aug 2024 21:24:25
Oh Swinners, please.
8.) 24 Aug 2024 21:52:42
Apparently no cash for players, in which case we need a manager who can change it up a bit, not persevere with the same team. I was all for Dyche but it's time to move on and try something new, but it won't happen until a takeover.
9.) 24 Aug 2024 22:07:00
I know the window is still open but we don't have a relegation candidate squad. We have tactical deficiencies. I concede if we do last day cash in on DCL and Branthwaite without replacing the numbers we will be in relegation shape squad wise. This turkey is inept.
28 Jan 2023 15:03:55
Gordon gone according el bobble.
1.) 28 Jan 2023 17:13:37
Just need to reinvest the money in someone and make sure that it’s signed, sealed and delivered.
2.) 28 Jan 2023 18:11:32
Same elbobble that said we’d signed Danjuma ?
Think I’ll wait to see him in a Newcastle shirt before believe it’s done.
3.) 28 Jan 2023 19:09:55
Pictures of him signing.
4.) 28 Jan 2023 19:26:35
Well he's in one.
5.) 28 Jan 2023 21:30:20
Victor Gyökeres Is best,
6.) 29 Jan 2023 09:09:20
Not covered himself in Glory, so called True Everton, now I understand ambition and understand attractive offers, but there is a right way of doing stuff, IF the reports are true he didn't turn up for a couple of days to do the job he's paid to do!
7.) 29 Jan 2023 11:36:43
Well. Jesus Christ, we've had Newcastle's pants down there haven't we. Bloody hell. Toodle pip Rodwell.
You can tell Eddie howe is a Blue, and he's helped us out there!
21 Aug 2022 21:06:43
Ed25, what ever happened to the striker you thought we were going to sign?
Has it fell through? Or just taking longer than expected?
{Ed025's Note - it’s on hold until the Gordon situation is sorted out Chris..
1.) 22 Aug 2022 08:23:28
What is the Gordon situation though? They seemingly bid early last week and we rejected it and from outside looking in it’s been very very quiet since. Can we expect them to come back with another bid? The issue for us is can we really afford to wait? Can lampard afford to wait? Two big away games before Liverpool and Arsenal? I don’t think he should be sacked but we could easily be looking at 4 losses.
{Ed025's Note - everton are thinking they will be back BT, if they or spurs offer £50m i think he may go mate..
2.) 22 Aug 2022 09:33:55
My main concern is spurs and Chelsea will leave it so late in the window offer 50 mill (which is unfortunately too much to turn down) and it it will be too late for us to get a decent striker in.
3.) 22 Aug 2022 09:49:11
I reckon they will come back this week and it’ll be sorted by the weekend. They cannot afford to leave it too late as we need time to find a replacement. There could be a potential bidding war, which may work in our favours (and Chelsea’s) as I’m reckon they might chuck a couple of players into the mix as well.
4.) 22 Aug 2022 10:02:37
If the club sell Gordon this week any club with any business acumen will immediately bump up the price of any player we want, as we will be desperate. Any PL club that has any sense won't sell to us knowing that our squad will be really weak and would more than likely be a prime candidate for relegation which is worth more to them than the £20M-£30m they may get for a player. We need to keep Gordon this window and get a forward or two in. Be careful what you wish for!
5.) 22 Aug 2022 09:30:25
Ed025. Can you see this Gordon thing dragging out to the end of the window, him staying with us and as a result we end up signing no one else?
{Ed025's Note - knowing us shreds it will probably be a drawn out saga mate. I certainly hope not but it’s very frustrating at the moment..
6.) 22 Aug 2022 09:30:28
Possibly Newcastle too? Feels like there’s a deal to be done with someone and that Frank is resigned to losing him. If we get 3 in, a centre mid and two forwards, I won’t be too disappointed.
7.) 22 Aug 2022 09:31:47
Did frank lampard really say we wasn't looking for another striker until DCL got injured? If true I find it astonishing.
8.) 22 Aug 2022 10:26:27
Nothing to worry about with Chelsea and spurs leaving it late. Just need to give them a deadline or no sale. Don't have to sell him. Just shot Cannon up front. He's scoring goals. Looks a little live wire. Rather have him than another teams cast off.
9.) 22 Aug 2022 11:26:37
Would definitely be worth giving Cannon a run out in the cup game just to see if he is good enough. We could always sub Rondon on if he's not.
10.) 22 Aug 2022 11:44:50
Any easy solution to this would be to not announce the AG deal until we have found a replacement and agreed on a fee.
Once they are in, then announce the Gordon deal . but after all, this is Everton we are talking about.
11.) 22 Aug 2022 12:00:05
We should ask for pulisic as part of the deal on loan as would have Gordon’s replacement, 12 months to replace long term and the money for a striker.
Appreciate he may want champions league and should be there but surely game time is the main driver with the World Cup coming up?
23 May 2022 17:10:48
Apparently we've offered 90k a week for Tarkowski on a free. We've really not learnt our lesson have we.
1.) 23 May 2022 17:51:50
Yeah bit steep them wages fc if true mate but would be good edition if he joined am hoping maybe mina would be going out like before we consider getting players.
2.) 23 May 2022 18:35:30
40k increase on what he is on at the movement I don't think so, good player but not worth 90K per week. Outs before Ins as we need to address out finances big time. If we could get rid of Mina and Gomes Gbamin and Allan then with the 5 outgoings and the unlikelihood of signing either loanee's our wage bill will be significantly reduced. That may give us a bit of leeway to sign one or two players and put a chunk towards the financial issue we have. Speculation of course but with the club being is such a financial mess I'm not getting my hope up for a mass overhaul of players even if we have to sell all our major assets.
3.) 23 May 2022 19:06:35
If true then do agree £90k per week does seem steep.
However is on a free so would imagine that’s been factored into that figure.
Also Tosun a player who has hardly played but has just left so that’s £80k per week off wage bill.
So for an extra £10k per week we’d be getting a player in a position we need cover for, who’s played in the league and would improve the squad.
Obviously all speculation and no idea if true, but if it was it wouldn’t seem the worst deal.
However not sure how it fits in with current profit and sustainability situation.
4.) 23 May 2022 22:47:44
He is on 50K per week now, is 29 and only 6 feet 1 inches tall and was part of a relegated team that let in 53 goals. We should be able to do better and build for the future, not replace what we have with the same or marginally better players at elevated salaries. Not sure what our scouts and DOF do, is Burnley as far as they get?
5.) 23 May 2022 23:57:58
Agree Mike we should be able to do better, however we haven’t previously and now are restricted on how much we can spend due to previous errors.
All speculation regards Tarkowski however:
He’s a free transfer so I’d imagine wages would be increased to include a signing on bonus, as I’d imagine it would look better on our books if that was in wages over period of contract rather than a lump sum at starts.
Also yes he was part of a team that got relegated. He conceded 51 goals, however we conceded 58 goals.
He was also the one centreback who played virtually every game but due to injuries to team mates (Lawton and Mee) rarely had a solid pairing.
Is he a top signing - no.
Is he better than we have - probably
Is he a leader on the pitch - yes
Is he a good stop gap until we get more financially secure - yes.
6.) 24 May 2022 06:35:31
Today’s papers say £120k a week.
7.) 24 May 2022 08:18:51
What are fans feelings towards selling Mina and using Keane Holgate Godfrey Braithwaite and Welch and i get we have been poor defensively this season but if we bring Anthony Barry in that would be an amazing bit of business as he is the reason Chelsea sorted their defence out.
8.) 24 May 2022 09:01:07
Money aside is Tarkowski any better than what we already have? surely not another bargain basement signing from a relegated side!
Surely we need to look for players that have experience the other end of the league with a winning mentality!
9.) 24 May 2022 09:23:53
wakka57 we can't afford experienced players playing in the top 6 and yes I would sell mina and go with what we have and maybe look to a loan on reasonable wage.
10.) 24 May 2022 10:28:35
sa90 surely we have squandered the money by paying overinflated prices and ridiculous wages to average players over the last few years, this is why we can no longer afford them.
Mina is our best CB but constantly injured, Holgate is not up to it and Godfrey only developed as a stand in right back but I do not see him challenging as a CB.
Look at Tomori that went to Milan from Chelsea he was less money than Mina I believe young and developing.
11.) 24 May 2022 11:06:57
Tarkowski would be an alright signing if we were clearing out the defence and managed to get rid of Mina, Keane and Holgate whilst paying Tarkowski the same wages he is on or marginally more. Loan Welch out, Branthwaite, Godfrey, Tarkowski and try and get a solid centre crack which would be difficult under our finance difficulties. Another way to look at it may be getting Branthwaite cover if we could get him loaned out. Once again though, high wages and a long contract should be a huge no no. We need to clear players out first though.
12.) 24 May 2022 11:48:43
wakka57 I agree with what you have said, I just don't think we have the finances to get another highly paid CB that costs a fair amount of cash. If we sell both Keane and Holgate as well as Mina then that's a different conversation.
13.) 24 May 2022 12:13:12
What’s happened to Lewis Gibson the up and coming centreback we signed from Newcastle for a fee that could rise to £6m!
Would keep Holgate, branthwaite and Godfrey and add an experienced player to those 3. If that’s Tarkowski then think that would be decent.
If we can move mina and Keane on to raise some money and clear some wages that would also be ok.
14.) 24 May 2022 17:06:25
Holgate was performing better towards end of the season and a goal threat. Keep Holgate, Godfrey, Branthwaite. Sell Mina (injured) and possibly Keane if bringing in Tarkowski.
15.) 24 May 2022 19:22:16
One day we'll learn but I'm not holding out much hope. They said after the Wimbledon game "never again" its happened twice since. C'mon Everton, get it right!
16.) 24 May 2022 20:07:53
GD, Gibson was on loan at Sheff We'd last season. His season was blighted by injuries so it doesn't tell us much really.
17.) 24 May 2022 22:15:28
Cheers BP was unaware of that.
However with all the fanfare made about us signing him as he was the next up and coming defender surprised he’s not getting a mention as being in contention next season.
18.) 25 May 2022 14:11:26
Tarkowski is good, but not worth those wages. Hopefully the rumour that Villa offered him way more than us is true.
A Wednesday fan I know said Gibson looked good on the rare occasion he left the treatment room, but did poorly at Reading the year before.
05 Jan 2022 22:15:17
Newcastle offered 22.5mil plus longstaff for digne according to SSN.
1.) 05 Jan 2022 22:26:38
According to Fabrizio Romano there’s no chance he’s going to Newcastle.
Apparently will go this window and probably to a premier league team.
He’s usually very good with his info.
2.) 05 Jan 2022 22:34:45
Yeah he is Dan. The fact a player would be coming in as well makes the news look less likely as well but SSN don't usually report things that have no basis.
You never know though they might just be reporting it to get people making bets on sky betting.
3.) 05 Jan 2022 22:44:30
Could be right regards betting angle Chris.
Also by them saying Longstaff involved - a player Rafa previously interested in - makes it seem a bit more believable.
Could all be genuine - but if player doesn’t want move highly unlikely would happen
Will be interesting to see what the other supposed interested clubs come up with as an offer of the Newcastle one is genuine.
4.) 05 Jan 2022 22:45:32
Think I’d probably take that to be honest.
5.) 05 Jan 2022 22:56:10
Swap deals aren’t common so I’d be surprised if it happened. The problem is every man and his dog are linked with Newcastle at the moment - bit like us for the last few seasons as people knew there was money to spend.
6.) 05 Jan 2022 23:23:26
An hour later and now SSN reporting we made an offer for Longstaff ?
Got to love transfer season, nobody really knows what transfers will or won’t happen.
7.) 05 Jan 2022 23:44:40
Is longstaff even any good?
8.) 06 Jan 2022 00:08:02
No but neither is what we have.
9.) 06 Jan 2022 00:11:51
No idea BD but think Rafa rates him from his time at Newcastle.
Not sure how we’re going to recruit any more players though without any other outgoings as sure Ed002 previously said only had space for 1 more player.
So with 2 signed and Digne on his way doesn’t look like room for anyone else unless we move others on.
Any of the Ed’s know if we have any other potential sales lined up?
{Ed002's Note - Everton has a bunch of players available and contracts running out. Something can be done with Tosun this month but Everton will need to accept whatever Besiktas off. Allan would be available this month if fit but the club may find it difficult to find a buyer, so it seems unlikely. Delph might be available this month but it would depend on an addition in all probabilty.}
10.) 06 Jan 2022 09:38:43
Longstaff is a very strong midfielder, an improvement on what we have at Everton.
11.) 06 Jan 2022 13:41:55
My Newcastle mate raves about Longstaff and says he would be gutted to lose him
There are reports we have bid for him but it’s not linked to any deal with Digne
Also a few rumours about Vecino who’s contract is coming to an end in the summer not sure if this is more to do with old links being resurrected.
12.) 06 Jan 2022 17:39:08
Take Longstaff all day long when you see some of ours.
13.) 07 Jan 2022 07:29:43
I'd be shocked if Digne ends up at Newcastle. I'm still hoping he might stay, but seems unlikely, he's not had the best couple of seasons but then again, Everton haven't been great either.
{Ed025's Note - i hope he leaves tomtom, it will free up money to buy someone who actually wants to be here mate..
14.) 07 Jan 2022 11:04:36
Yeh I see your point, but I like the guy, does he want to leave or is it just a clash of personalities with Rafa? If he doesn't want to play for us I agree we should sell ASAP.
15.) 07 Jan 2022 13:18:37
Longstaff would be a replacement for Allan, who hasn't got the energy required for the Premiership.

The joy I have for watching the game just gets destroyed every time I see Jack Harrison's name on the team sheet.
11 May 2025 17:59:17
I really like Tim, I think he was great business in the summer. I do feel like we need another CM, personally CAM, CM a RW I see as our weakest positions.
Surely we are in for at least 1 CM. And if we keep Gueye or get new CMs do we keep Tim or send him out on loan to somewhere he will play every week? I think he will be a great player eventually but I doubt he will get enough game time here next season. Squad player or loan lads, what do we think?
1.) 11 May 2025 18:11:51
Tim was arguably our most consistent player at beginning of season. Against Bournemouth, he was blowing out his a*se and needed replacing. But tactical genius Dyche left him on. Then he's dropped to bench. Cracking player I think. But heeds games. Not just a few games and dropping because of managers clueless tactics.
2.) 12 May 2025 10:36:16
If Gueye resigns and we get Alcaraz we will have IG, JG, TI, CA, INd HA that are CM/ CAM I think that should be enough. I would go for LM/ W and RM/ W, back up CB, back up/ staring LB and RB and a new CF.
3.) 12 May 2025 20:21:07
Armstrong will play decent role next year and will turn into big player in 2-3 years - very high ceiling.
4.) 12 May 2025 22:38:11
How many times have we heard that cookie?
It’s unlikely we will have another Rooney type in the next few decades. If we can produce a few more Gordan or Barkley level players, it will provide us with a platform but very few of them break into the first team. Not heard a lot about Armstrong until this year so unsure how far he’ll go but hope he goes on to set the world on fire.
19 Apr 2025 17:04:23
Evening All. Disappointed to get beat today, I didn't think we deserved it.
On the note of Michael Keane doing what Michael Keane does, players that I can't wait to see the back off.
Keane
Dom
Young
Lindstrom
Harrison
Broja
Other players to leave
Coleman
Douc, unless he lowers his wages.
Personally I wouldn't play any of them again this season apart from Coleman against Southampton for the send off.
Some big changes to come, I hope Davey has his eyes on some gems.
{Ed025's Note - we need a new forward line Chris thats for certain, without trying to put a fine point on it the ones we have are all...Dog Shoite, but i want to see who he brings in now and more importantly who he gets rid of,
1.) 19 Apr 2025 17:14:26
We were playing well till Tarks went off, can’t wait till the summer.
2.) 19 Apr 2025 17:16:27
Didn’t see the game but from the comments on here it sounds like Keane was poor? Was he at fault for the goals? If Tarks is out he’s got to play Patterson and shift JOB across surely?
{Ed025's Note - you would think so Swinners..
3.) 19 Apr 2025 17:18:45
Unlucky today, none of the subs did anything.
{Ed025's Note - or any of the forwards mate..
4.) 19 Apr 2025 17:24:55
Keane was and is awful. The guy is a walking disaster in defence. Tarks will likely be out for the rest of the season judging by his reaction. We have to put O’Brien alongside Branthwaite and play Patterson or Garner at RB.
I know Alcaraz has a few if he starts x amount of games but I think we have to put him in and play Tim with Gana in CM. Commentators talked about Harrison having a good game but I just don’t see it. He’s got to bury it in the net or get an assist to warrant his wages and starting each week but he just doesn’t do it.
Can’t argue with any of that list FChris. New look next season in a new stadium.
5.) 19 Apr 2025 17:49:24
I said it in live chat - the whole of midfield / forward needs looking at.
Gueye not staying which is a shame - - Garner / Alcaraz / McNeil - do they not all flatter to deceive?
DCL / Broja not staying - Beto is at best 2nd / 3rd option.
Maybe before thought we needed 3-4 players - I think we need 7-8 over 2 windows.
Will be made more complicated if Branthwaite goes - but i think it will be exciting.
Cant be having these draws because we cannot create anything going forward.
6.) 19 Apr 2025 19:32:04
Garner needs a silky player next to him, he's as Eric would call, a water carrier. Alcarez seems hot and cold, needs games to be fair to him, all players need 10 games back to back and he's been stop start. McNeil is still young has a left peg that's deadly and he took is due some slack due to his injury. I'm not sure we sign Alcarez but Garner and McNeil are far from the problems with our squad. They clearly stay.
7.) 20 Apr 2025 02:07:05
Hopefully summer targets will be brought in as early as possible. DM and Angus Kinnear have to be ruthless with departures and ambitious with signings.
A couple of strikers, a new centre mid and a couple of full backs at least. Get them in early and bed them into the squad.
NSNO UTFT IMWT.
8.) 20 Apr 2025 09:16:05
It will still be a question of funds and prudence. We are in danger (as we always do) of expecting a miraculous turn around. I choose to respect Moyes commonsense approach. Through Moyes I suspect the Club are looking toward the lower leagues for recruits.
9.) 20 Apr 2025 11:14:44
All good teams have a strong spine. We have Pickford, Branthwaite (if he’s not sold) , then nothing. Need a number 10 who can actually pass a ball and score a few. And need a striker who can actually score goals.
10.) 20 Apr 2025 16:21:47
Unless it is just paper talk, the notion of bringing in two w/ ham has beens, on the bases that they did a job for Moyes, is most definitely a backwards step. Please we already have two over 30s right backs, another one at 32, is the wrong direction .
26 Feb 2025 18:32:59
Just seen the team. Anyone know when ndyiae is likely to come back?
1.) 26 Feb 2025 18:54:37
Sooner than first thought but no time actually given that I can see.
2.) 26 Feb 2025 19:13:34
Thanks mate, hopefully Harrison and Lindstrom can do the business until he is back.
15 Feb 2025 20:21:49
I've just tried to order a Beto shirt but everywhere is out of letters. They've all told me that this guy called Ed25 has bought them all.
{Ed025's Note - it cost me a fortune Chris.. :)

Love u blues ????.
2.) 16 Feb 2025 02:34:47
Already have one for my son. Long sleeve away kit with Beto on the back.
The reason Beto is doing well is my son has built up his player card on EA Sports FC. He won the PL with Beto up top. Sold DCL to West Ham.
Life imitates art.
3.) 16 Feb 2025 07:59:54
Make sure he has a good summer window 770.
4.) 16 Feb 2025 09:49:03
No it’s because all the tight buggers are buying them because it’s less to pay for so many letters.
11 May 2025 18:09:01
I get that Ed. But when we had Dom playing up front with a good touch and great hold up play but no goals, we were all saying how we would trade the touch and hold up play for goals. Now we have that. I agree that his hold up play isn't the best and needs to improve. But Beto's touch and hold up play is not why our Douc, Harrison, lindstrom etc don't score more. I'd just like to see us improve elsewhere before we go all out for a new striker and expect him to be the perfect all-rounder with utter dross behind him.
{Ed025's Note - we do need a better midfield Chris of course we do, its all about opinions i suppose mate but i just dont see Beto as the answer..
11 May 2025 17:04:35
I can't believe people want rid of beto. Given a full season he could be near 20 goals a season. I've noticed that he is much better when Alcaraz is on and even McNeil. Both can assist and McNeill can shoot from distance so it gives him more space.
People say he doesn't do enough, but when he's got the likes of douc and Harrison setting him up (or not setting him up) genuinely, what can you expect him to do? What could you expect of anyone?
I'm all for getting a better striker than Beto, but if we are going to keep any of the 4 we have, surely is has to be beto.
{Ed025's Note - as a back up i could work with that Chris, but for a main striker his first touch is awful mate and his hold up play needs a lot of work..
02 Feb 2025 09:39:00
I have never thought we would get anyone in this window unless loans went back and we got new loan players. Managala gone back, I'd love to see Harrison leave, Broja maybe depending on injury. Be great to get a striker, CM and a winger but in all honesty I'm not holding my breath.
Personally I think it's bang on to not buy any players in this window and wait to get the right player in the summer. Bored of all the panic buying and overpaying. I'd prefer to spend what money we have on 2 or 3 great players in the summer than 6 or so bang average players across the 2 windows.
20 Jan 2025 18:59:38
Yes Allblue. He did his standard ball watching statue routine and had no idea where the attacker was. He is someone else who desperately needs moving on.
20 Jan 2025 18:50:20
Personally I think DCL will stay unless he is offered decent money from a European club in a big city. I read he wants 120-150k. I can't see any prem team offering him that.
The main reason I think he will stay is that no better team will be in for him. I hope we can get him scoring again and his goal was great but he also missed a lot of chances on Sunday that could have cost us.
25 May 2025 19:25:16
I've been thinking this DB. We could do a lot worse 4th choice CB than Keane. Obviously depends on wages but as a bit part player he always seems to do well. It's when he has a long run of games that the mistakes creep in.

It's making me nervous that there's been no confirmation that Harrison won't be signed again, either perm or loan.
I don't think there has been anything we've all agreed about on this forum here apart from the unanimous agreement we all have that Harrison is dreadful. That gives me hope that he won't be signed.
Hopefully we sign an Ndyie quality player for the right now.

I would let Leeds pay us to play Harrison nevermind us pay him. Him and maupay are the same level for me. The 2 worst players over the past 5-10 years.

I can't wait until the end of it GB, all the nonsense news stories and time it takes to get transfers done. I hate the window. But you're right in the fact that it is so important and is the biggest challenge that Davey has faced yet.

Before we look at more goals from Beto, we need to look at more goals from the wingers and cam. The reason the likes of Harrison, Lindstrom and Doucoure haven't got 10+ a season has absolutely nothing to do with Beto's hold up play.
