Godfrey gone for 10 million. Not bad business.
{Ed025's Note - not bad at all Smit, things are starting to fall into place mate, i hear (courtesy of ED002) that the transfer of Ndiaye is done, it cant go through until monday though so as not to complicate problems, this is of course subject to the new owner providing the money for the loan i must stress..
1.) 29 Jun 2024 11:05:23
Wow. I thought Godfrey was a future captain after his first season. Don't know what happened to him but 3 yrs on the bench and ends up with champions league football? What a world we live in ?.
{Ed025's Note - i think long covid had a lot to do with his demise Pauly, i wish the lad well though as he never let us down when called upon mate..
2.) 29 Jun 2024 18:09:37
That and a bad injury which is never easy to come back from.

Club messed him around with various managers. We’ve messed a lot of young players around in the 10 years save for DCL and Branthwaite.
5.) 01 Jul 2024 08:33:35
Everton in past under different managers have signed young talent and just been messed around as for Godfrey he had a great start to his career at Everton until he had that serious injury and numerous managers. You can’t blame the lad for rejecting extension and opting to see his future options. I wish him all the success and best of luck in his next chapter of his career as he has always shown professionalism. In his case as can play various positions hasn’t helped his opportunities to cement a starting place in his preferred position as CB.
{Ed025's Note - yeah i second that Sean..

Maddock saying a bid has gone in for Toure.
1.) 13 Jul 2023 21:15:55
Who is Maddock?
Who is Toure?
2.) 13 Jul 2023 21:48:45
El Bilal Toure. One of the many attackers we’ve been linked with.
3.) 13 Jul 2023 22:01:21
Who is Maddock?
One of the few reliable journos.
Hes normally pretty good with info.
4.) 14 Jul 2023 11:11:42
Tbf the age of players we are linked with, this could be kolo toure we bidding for.
10 Jul 2023 17:44:25
Loan with a obligation to buy for el bilal Toure.
1.) 10 Jul 2023 18:09:31
No chance. BK - the very worn, well we tried stamp in the pending tray.
2.) 10 Jul 2023 18:32:31
And in four payments can’t see them accepting that Smit mate.
3.) 10 Jul 2023 21:38:54
Would be good if we can push that through Smit
We had good success with some loans that turned permanent in the past Pienaar and Arteta being two
Holding onto my optimism.
09 Jun 2023 14:18:24
Tom Davies, Coleman and Lonegran have been offered new deals.
Townsend hasn't.
{Ed025's Note - if we are giving Tom a new deal we might as well give Maupay a new 6 year deal and double his wages…I give up..
1.) 09 Jun 2023 14:45:21
Relegation battle no's 3 coming up.
2.) 09 Jun 2023 14:47:22
If Davies goes Ed there will be no one to braid Calvert Lewins hair before he goes on the treatment table.
{Ed025's Note - good point Reg.. ?
3.) 09 Jun 2023 14:53:43
Hes a decent squad player, loves the club and is happy to fill in when needed Ed and would mean spending 5-10mill to replace. I don't see any youngsters in our squad who could step up just yet.
Hes a good age too so any kind of decent season and we can recoup money on him.
Letting him go is just a loss.
{Ed025's Note - for me he would not be a loss at all smit.
He’s so weak he’s nearly a fortnight mate. He always looks tired to me..
4.) 09 Jun 2023 15:22:31
Disappointing reading those contract offers - only Coleman I’d keep.
Can’t believe Lonegran at 39 and Tom Davies who is poor have been offered new contracts
However there’s no info on the contracts so hopefully they’ll be for less than what they are currently on and they decide to move on.
5.) 09 Jun 2023 15:25:32
Didn't play much last season but had a good game against the reds after not playing much. Hopefully another season as back up might bridge the gap for a Onyango.
6.) 09 Jun 2023 15:28:47
In the great grand world of FFP it sort of makes sense, as long as it’s not a long term deal and not stupid wages
Would I want an upgrade…… yes
Are we in a position to get an upgrade…. possibly not.
7.) 09 Jun 2023 18:33:11
Being offered new contract means nothing until they are excepted. If the club has any sense they would reduce the wages if they are giving out a loyalty bonus.
8.) 09 Jun 2023 19:16:29
I think he is dreadful. Can't be a decent cm if your first touch is woeful. Should be looking to sell for a couple of mill to a Championship side.
Would rather give Warrington a chance. At least when he plays he looks like he goes through different gears. Davies plays well within himself and is happy to get paid a PL wage whilst doing it.
{Ed025's Note - im with you JMW, if we are happy with players like Tom then that says a lot about our expectations for next season mate..
9.) 09 Jun 2023 19:53:22
Spot on Ed .
10.) 09 Jun 2023 20:13:07
Not overjoyed about Davies but not completely against it either. Could improve under Dyche. Still what, 24? Do a fill in job over the season. Then sell next summer for a few million. Obviously with reduced wages in contract. That happens it would be a happy ending in my opinion.
Let me get this straight. Begovic is allowed to leave but we are offering Lonergan a contract? Hard to beat Begovic as a back up keeper throughout the whole Premier League if ya ask me. Be surprised if he hasn't a club already.
Delighted Seamus is offered a contract. He will be needed and can fill many roles. Especially with Pat, Godfrey etc picking up injuries.
11.) 09 Jun 2023 20:17:53
its going to be a really hard season. I would rather give a young kid a go than davies but that sums up this sorry club and sorry manager.
12.) 10 Jun 2023 08:28:59
Begovic was offered a contract NBTB but declined it!
13.) 10 Jun 2023 09:43:04
Seen that after I posted that ToffeeDavey. Isn't it mad. Now we are apparently looking for a back up keeper. Maybe he just wanted to go. Can't see us getting a better one. The return of Robles may be on the cards. Wasn't Virginia out on loan?
14.) 10 Jun 2023 10:30:29
I'd put Harry Tyrer as back up. Had a cracking season at Chester (I think) . Seen him in pre season for us too and looks good shot stopper. Davies would be of use to a championship club as a make weight in any deals we may look at. I think Warrington is better than Davies. Still can't believe we let Price go. But if was his decision I suppose.
15.) 10 Jun 2023 15:07:58
That's it. Hard to see players come through the ranks then let them go for nothing. If Davies signs may get something for him in a year or 2 and he might help out in the meantime.
02 Apr 2023 21:41:43
Potter to Leicester?
1.) 02 Apr 2023 23:09:30
It would not surprise me. He has the credentials needed.
2.) 02 Apr 2023 23:31:56
Rodgers to Chelsea?
Who knows?
Bit early for either to walk into another job in my opinion.
3.) 04 Apr 2023 12:23:02
not long ago, people on here wanted him at everton, what do we know?

Do all these players not train together and train for eventualities like illness and injuries?
I think he just has one plan, one team and when that's disrupted he doesn't have the skill to prepare for it or adapt to it.
All our squad should know how we play and what the drill is. But we look so dysfunctional.
1.) 20 Sep 2024 00:53:13
They do Smit, boot the ball upfield and lose possession, I don't know the stats but I would bet that we have much less possession than our opponents in every game. How often do we put more than two passes together before either losing possession or booting the ball upfield. It would appear that all members of the first team squad are well versed in this tactic and players promoted from the Under 21's or players brought in from other teams quickly adapt to this method of play which will from now on be known as Dyche-bootball.
2.) 20 Sep 2024 08:24:28
I can remember a time when your reserve team played to the same style as the first team. This was so that if you had injuries the reserve players could step in seamlessly to the first team.
Perhaps we should send our second team players to John Lennon airport to watch the planes. Get them use to watching things fly over their heads.
19 Aug 2024 22:29:29
Cheeky loan for Richarlison?
Sub and played the last 3 minutes for Spurs.
Can score goals across the front 3 positions.
1.) 19 Aug 2024 22:42:22
Can only hope.
2.) 20 Aug 2024 06:36:27
If he did a Pienaar then I’d be made up.
I don’t see it happening but I think it would help sort out the DCL/ forward lack of goals situation.
3.) 20 Aug 2024 12:31:18
He'd want to score and play football to much for dyche to be interested in him.
4.) 20 Aug 2024 17:45:32
If he played him up front on his own then nothing would change.
16 Aug 2023 18:14:38
Brilliant first interview with Harrison in the Echo and some of those stats will be greatly welcome in our team.
1.) 16 Aug 2023 18:33:19
Couldn't agree more Smit.
2.) 16 Aug 2023 19:02:38
He’s looks just the type of player we have been crying out for, hope Sean can get a few more in like him.
3.) 16 Aug 2023 19:31:23
We won't know until October.
4.) 16 Aug 2023 20:20:03
Why October? He's already running and him and Dyche said a few weeks.
5.) 16 Aug 2023 20:36:48
Three week recovery then international break anyway big Reg.

Will be up to speed for the hectic Xmas period.
8.) 17 Aug 2023 00:15:35
If we had 10 outfielders like him then we would win the league.
9.) 17 Aug 2023 05:43:11
Out for three weeks according to the lad himself so nice try putting another dampener on any news coming out of the club, dfs!
10.) 17 Aug 2023 07:32:04
Usual stuff no mate.
11.) 17 Aug 2023 08:59:07
He's our player now so here's hoping he recovers well and can show us what he can do
In the Echo BP he says a few weeks - not 3. Let's hope it not like the few weeks that we've been waiting for the MSP seal to be confirmed
I saw one article that said he has had it since 1st July so it's already 6 weeks so pretty serious. As I said though I hope to see him in action pretty soon.
12.) 17 Aug 2023 09:32:17
They don't live in the real World bw2412 v2.0. Confuse putting a damper on things with telling it how it is. Instance Everton put a £25 mill bid in, when they have done no such thing. I, like you, hope he is back in action sooner rather than later. I want all our players to be back in contention. When all fit we should have a good Squad. GB/ BP I attend home games (when able) with optimism and hoping that at last we will start firing. I think Dyche is (for me) the Everton Moyes that should never have left.
27 Jul 2023 18:38:12
Boulaye Dia with Keane going in the opposite direction.
Yes please.
1.) 27 Jul 2023 21:06:13
Maupay too please.
{Ed025's Note - yeah throw him in as a BOGOF..
2.) 27 Jul 2023 22:11:10
If you throw Maupay in they might just bog off.
3.) 28 Jul 2023 01:11:34
Keane and maupay Is it Xmas day already?!
07 Jul 2023 18:14:16
Evertonians heads falling off because Gyokeres chose Sporting over us?
Lampard wanted him in the summer and Dyche didn't.
Lampard who wanted Maupay, who in fact is probably quicker than Gyokeres.
Fact is we walked away last summer and that would be the right choice.
1.) 07 Jul 2023 19:25:01
I think we all need to just relax and see how this window pans out.
Looks like clearing fringe players first which makes sense.
Dyche needs some time with the squad to see what he’s working with and then hopefully can decide on what positions he wants strengthening for the new season.
Lots of names being linked but probably a lot are click bait.
2.) 07 Jul 2023 23:09:56
i would like to think that he already knows where we need to strengthen. Does Not need a preseason for that.
3.) 08 Jul 2023 00:24:53
Probably does Brass, but you never know some of the players returning from loan may make him reevaluate those positions he thought needed covering.
4.) 08 Jul 2023 01:33:46
I believe we all know where we need to strengthen, it's been the same for several seasons and is not rocket science. Getting it done is another story, lack of funds, not being an attractive career move for the best players, to say nothing about an owner who who has an underwhelming record and a non-existant board just about sums up the problems we have in recruiting good players.
5.) 08 Jul 2023 05:21:26
We walked away last summer and bought what proved to be a massive failure in Maupay
In the winter we sat on our hands and did nothing to solve the striking issue when we knew DCL was struggling with injuries and arguably made things worse by selling Gordon.
6.) 08 Jul 2023 09:26:56
Is it also possible that Dyche wants to be able to assess the physical condition of the squad and cast an eye on the loan players before deciding who’ll be in the squad and who’ll leave or go on loan?
7.) 08 Jul 2023 10:40:15
You might (and I hope you are) be right JB
It also might be a case of last winter when Dyche said everyone looked like they were working extremely hard at getting someone in
They were just bad at getting anything done.
27 Sep 2024 19:46:38
Zero chance of getting a work permit.
07 Sep 2024 17:46:12
Not New news it was reported during the 777 purchase.
Aside from the Rights and media debt the Friedkin loan replaced the MSP money and some to Moshiri and AB. 777s was towards the stadium and some operating capital.
Rights and media is an old loan used to buy players and keep the lights on.
£600million plus Moshiris bit for EFC and the new stadium isn't too bad a price some might say.
25 Aug 2024 22:28:19
Leeds United when in the prem and Burnley last season had 15 players that had desire and run their nuts off every game. They had little ability and we know how that went for both teams.
Maupay is not right for Everton under our current regime.
25 Aug 2024 22:22:04
Not sure why a company trying to make a profit would pay out on something that is not odds on and near a conclusion.
25 Aug 2024 22:20:35
I never thought I'd say this but I'd get Moyes back for 2 seasons.
Sell Dom and try and get Richy back with the money and someone like Gnonto.
We can't rely on Dyches counter attack football with no pace and a striker who isn't committed.
Moyes was always likely to suffer a defeat like the Brighton game but he would always get a reaction the game after.
21 Sep 2024 17:24:13
He didn't do anything wrong in most of the games we've played?
He's been terrible. He has the worst defensive record of any defender we've had since he joined.
Statistically we concede more with him in our defence. Give him a reprieve because he's been OK for 4 games and terrible for the rest of his Everton career.
Please remember He's been in a defence that has conceded 14 in 5 games.
19 Sep 2024 17:58:09
Well we don't pay him any wages until he's playing so not too bad a deal. Should be fit for November so just like an early January loan.
17 Sep 2024 23:09:29
I'm done Ed. I can't watch anymore of this Dyche ball.
I'm at a point in my life where time to enjoy myself is getting less and less and I'm not wasting anymore of it on this managers idea of what Everton should be doing. What we have seen these last few weeks is this team can play, can score and with decent coach can defend.
Dyche was the right man for us that first season but we need to move on.
{Ed025's Note - i wish i could argue with you Smit, my goal for a while now has been to go to Bramley Moore to watch the Blues in the Premier league before its too late, at this rate i will never fulfill my dream mate, i dread watching us under this dinosaur and cant wait for this prick to go..
17 Sep 2024 22:55:16
Gana played for PSG, onana looks class for Villa, Garner and tim are good enough to be in a mid table team and when they play for us we have 20-30% possession it's not the players it's the manager and tactics.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely Smit..
17 Sep 2024 22:52:50
It's just poor how we can accept that percentage at home to a promoted team.
Moyes or anyone but this out of date dinosaur.
