Question in the current environment would you be happy if the club signs CA's older targets on season long loans with Brands buying younger players for the future. Then after the unwanted players contracts expire at the end of season expire the club reassess the transfer policy.
1.) 26 Aug 2020 10:09:26
I would take that all day long, after the last few years we need a proper plan in place and it's a killer but we need to be patient.
Carlo has always said that he will sign Good players and that they might not always be young but they will be Good.
2.) 26 Aug 2020 13:22:46
I'm happy, personally I'm sick of "building for the future" or buying unknowns or youngens with potential, as let's face it, this has been the plan for years and years and it hasn't exactly materialised has it.
I woukd like us to get some proven quality players in and actually enjoy going the game and watching us play some decent football,
I can't take another season like last year.

One for the Ed's. Do you know if we are in any talks that may lead to bringing in a new left back. Silva has been playing Robinson quite a bit in pre-season so I have a feeling that he is being assessed to see if he is good enough to play as a back up LB.
{Ed002's Note - I cannot tell you about any talks just now but I understand that interest of Everton and others remains for Marvin Plattenhardt. I have mentioned others that may also be options.}
1.) 22 Jul 2018 14:58:25
Arent we in for Digne?
{Ed002's Note - Sure maybe, but Digne is very much a defensive left back rather than a wing back - and perhaps not really what Everton need.}
2.) 22 Jul 2018 15:35:25
Would be mice to have some defenders who can defend.
3.) 22 Jul 2018 15:32:33
Thanks ed. I thought playing a front 3 with only 2 CBs would lessen the need for a more attacking playerlike Plattenhardt. But i'm not that familiar with Digne to be honest and agree that we still need an outlet from our full backs. With a front 3, when the wider players tuck in you do need an outlet. Silva does like an attacking and expansive style aswell which points to a more forward thinking full back. Not disagreeing with you in any way ed just exploring my opinion, admittedly based on a lack of knowledge :) Has there been a player profile on Digne please ed?
4.) 22 Jul 2018 20:58:54
Thanks ed appreciate the info.
5.) 22 Jul 2018 22:48:26
Yeah I agree Ed he’s not he most confident person going forward from what I’ve seen. Looks panicked on the ball which is strange for a Barcelona player but if silva and brands want him let’s get behind him.
16 Jun 2016 16:46:47
If anyone fancies a laugh take a look at the emerging whispers on sly if we get half the players we are being rumored with we would have the best squad in the PL if not Europe. As you said though Ed its nice to be in the situation for a change.
1.) 16 Jun 2016 17:06:14
ano that today whisper had Lucas moura on it.
26 May 2016 13:35:59
Hypothetical one here if Zlatan goes to MU do you think Rooney would be surplus to requirements would we be his first port of call.
{Ed025's Note - i would doubt it sa, he will play one more season at utd then end his career in the MLS i suspect mate..
1.) 26 May 2016 18:30:48
Rooney definitely playing at Utd next season. May leave come Jan but he'll start August at Utd.
26 May 2016 13:22:45
Hypothetical one here if Zlatan goes to MU do you think Rooney would be surplus to requirements would we be his first port of call.
{Ed025's Note - it would come down to money i think sa and that would make it a non starter, my feeling is that he will play one more season with utd then end his career in the MLS mate..
1.) 26 May 2016 16:05:56
If we are looking to offer £200 million wages to Hart, ok paper talk, but I would not rule Everton out of signing Rooney as his wages could be met, call me a romantic but I have a gut feeling, Rooney will be coming back to Everton.

Interesting combination of Baines and Coleman in charge until we appoint a new manger. Would love to see this combination kept together and given time to see what they could do with the youth setup then if they are good enough progress to the 1st team.
{Ed025's Note - both of them are sill good enough to play sa..

Is it just me or should the FA now after changing the FA Cup structure also change their Motto from "For All" to "For SIX".
26 Oct 2023 09:09:56
I personally don't see what all the panic is about The PL are investigating a claim of a potential breech of P&S guidance. There has been no information from the PL put in the public domain other than they will review the case. Nothing has been said as to what the breech is actually for either. Anything in the media at this time is pure speculation. Even if found guilty there would probably be some sort of appeals process which would push any punishment down the road. So you may end up stressing over something that won't even come to fruition.
1.) 26 Oct 2023 14:26:14
You can print anything now as long as you use words like, could may or it's possible.
2.) 26 Oct 2023 17:40:29
My view is we will IF found guilty get 6points + 6 suspended for 2 years. I have nothing to base this on other that seeing how these things work over the years.
23 Aug 2022 14:02:51
Interesting that the EFC related media state the Gordon deal all but is done but the CFC related media state we are likely to reject any new offer.
19 Jul 2021 08:59:10
The club is in a difficult situation if they let everyone know their targets then prices will rise and pundits will give their opinions prior to signing which may have a detrimental affects on the transfer. Alternatively but not letting everyone know their transfer targets then the media can com up with speculation that frustrates supporters as they don't necessarily support the idea of signing particular players. Until we sign a player every thing is speculation so why get worried about it, it probably won't happen anyway. If you look at our latest signings within the club they are all quality players or players with potential. I trust the club not the media.
1.) 19 Jul 2021 14:45:06
All Premier League teams are in that position- often a player just goes to the highest bidder, or for the highest wages. And why not - it’s a job after all.
In terms of managing the squad - the club may well be quite far down the line of getting players out which means we can develop the squad. Securing squad players, on lower wages, could enable us to make 2/ 3 marque signings. Not every player needs to be a guaranteed starter - we need players who can do a job in the cups, cover injuries/ suspensions etc. Let’s judge the signings once deadline day comes.
{Ed025's Note - i will have the squad player shout JB, but there are a lot of nay sayers out there looking for a stick to beat rafa with and andros fits the bill perfectly for them mate, in my view we needed a bit of a decent signing to appease the doubters and it would have gone a long way to smoothing the transition of the new manager coming in..
2.) 19 Jul 2021 16:01:56
Don’t disagree, Ed, mate. Hopefully that big name signing that we can get excited about is just round the corner.
{Ed025's Note - hopefully JB but the only names at the moment are Gray and Townsend mate, lets hope things change..
11 Mar 2025 08:59:15
I am sorry but the argument that is we don't spend we can't compete is a myth of hype. That in itself generates higher costs for everyone. What gets me some are happy to say we need to spend big on players yet do not see that if the current trend continues then the only way clubs can continue to survive is by passing cost back to the fans via higher fee's whether that be ticket prices merch or media subscriptions which we have seen already and it will only get worse. This will by default lead to a super league as numerous clubs will be fighting for limited resource so the clubs with the largest perceived fan base will be favoured.
10 Mar 2025 09:37:34
The problem is if you have one player on 150K then everyone else wants to be on a similar wage or slightly less. As a club I don't think it would be sustainable. If you looks at Bretford Bournemouth and Brighton there top wage is around £100k. We have the perfect time for a reset on the wage front in the summer. Additional JP is on £125k and JB is nowhere near his level yet. As for if we don't pay the wage we are not ambitious enough well that's the sort of thinking that helped get us into the financial mess we are in, in the first place. JB could double his salary and be on a great wage, more than enough for a player of his calibre.

Has KT done a good job or not who knows there have been some very good signings and some very poor signings has been responsible for them all or only some? We know that the owner and some of the previous managers have hampered Brands has KT had similar problems? On balance in my opinion he has done an okay job and if he was to get a new contract then that would be fine by me. Its up to the owners anyway so not matter what we think they will make the decision and that will be that.
31 Jan 2025 11:50:33
I don't envy the management to be honest I think they are caught between a rock and a hard place. The injuries to Broja, DCL and Mangal have really put the existing squad under a lot of pressure and probably thrown the existing transfer plans out of the window. IMO we could have done with 3 incomings originally but now we are looking at 5 with one needing to be a high quality CF. that's probably around £100m if we can't send the loanees back and get two other loans in. So is £100m plus wages over say 3 years with no guarantee of staying up a viable option? I think FDI will look to try to keep the club in the PL and do everything possible to support DM within the financial constraints of PSR but I am not expecting too much on the transfer front.
31 Jan 2025 08:18:52
PL Football is not a sport it is a business and being such the management will support the business in the way to make it as profitable as possible, if this means no incoming players then that's what it will be.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think its about profitability just yet sa but im sure it will be in the future, keeping us up this year is paramount because us going down would effect the profitability big time mate, but they wont pay over the odds for players in this window which is fair enough...but it is a gamble..
30 Mar 2025 14:26:07
In the ideal world DCL's salary would provide the wage of at least 4 squad players.
26 Mar 2025 09:31:46
We will see a lot of movement it looks like DM will have the reigns so I'm not too worried as for positions we will probably be loosing Coleman, DCL, Doucoure, Keane and Young not sure about Begovic, Gueye and Virginia may get resigned for an additional year. Loans returning Harrison, Alcaraz Lindstrom and Broja. That's 11 positions to be filled, will be interesting to see who DM brings in and who if any gets promoted from the U21/ U18's. I would only keep Gueye for an extra year and Alcaraz with Seamus being offered a none playing role at the club.
10 Mar 2025 09:44:58
Some good players in the list but I would think some of the wage demands may not be what we are looking to pay. Gomes would be a good shout as he is probably not getting paid a fortune but i can see a fair few clubs looking to sign him so the competition for his signature may push is wage demands up.
04 Mar 2025 09:38:45
I think you've pretty much nailed it ed025, however, in my experience pretty much everyone that is employed Kow-tow to their bosses in some way or another. Its alright having principles but they won't pay the bills. I don't have any animosity towards GS its not like he went out of his way to cause trouble he just didn't speak out when others thought he should. He was then made a scapegoat by some fans for the total and utter mismanagement of the club by the owner who should take the majority of blame. I don't actually think he was employed to be a spokes person for the fans I think he was employed to be a buffer between the management and the fans. A playing legend that has had his reputation within the fanbase tarnished by a decision he probably did even realise was going have the impact it did at the time he made it.
{Ed025's Note - I think you are spot on SA. Hopefully he can come back into the fold as for me it’s all water under the bridge now mate..
27 Feb 2025 10:04:19
For all the people that don't rate Beto if he continues to score at his current rate of 5 in 10, since SD left, would you still want to get rid? TBT I think his age is irrelevant our best player is also our oldest, so until his physical performance drops then I don't see it as an issue. IMO we are going to need to bring in at least 10 players for next season and taking a large chunk out pot we will have, just for a striker doesn't make sense to me. If Beto's form continues then I don't see the need for a new No1 striker, his contract expires in 2027 so that would give us another season to make
a decision whether to keep or sell. At the moment I would rather strengthen other areas of the pitch as a priority.
