Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

10 Jul 2017 23:15:27
This Sigurdsson/ Everton is a bit like Scott and Charlene from neighbours. Will they won't they. We'll have to wait til Deadline Transfer day me thinks.

But my question is. How can Swansea keep raising the price on him. Wasn't it like 35 mill then 40 mill now we sold Lukaku it's 50 mill. Are all these prices actual quotes from Swansea or just paper talk.

10 Jul 2017 22:34:59
Benteke! Unsure about him.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

10 Jul 2017 22:25:12
As Athletico are the favourites to sign Diego Costa in January, who things a cheeky 5 month loan deal until then? think he can fill the gap on a short term basis.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hi ed002 is there any chance of the quick transfer update if you have some spare time or that strange man pissed you off too much the other day thanks in advance.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Soon.}

10 Jul 2017 21:24:01
The Dzeko call is a good rumour but then we would have two 31 year olds. Still you never know.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

10 Jul 2017 20:46:21
Everton will wait for West ham to agree fee with stoke before we make a move (not even going to attempt to spell his name lol) because it will cost us 10m more makes sense to wait.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

11 Jul 2017 17:55:35
just call him Arnie.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 20:16:37
I know it's a long shot but what about us getting costa on loan till January no return at Chelsea Athletico Madrid agrees deal for January and he gets chance to put one over on conte
Everyone's a winner.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

{Ed025's Note - good shout that mate..

10 Jul 2017 20:50:10
I've been thinking about that one too but thought I'd get shot down in flames for suggesting it lol. He's mad as a hatter but would score some goals.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 20:50:34
Why not buy him still have change from rom.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - he wants athletico in january mate..

10 Jul 2017 20:52:16
He would get goals but do we want his attitude in our camp?

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 21:19:41
Not much point for me. We had Eto'o for six months and he caused all sorts of problems, plus we'd then have to adjust in Jan when someone else is up front.

Giroud would be my choice up front.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 21:40:54
Yeah but Windsor Blue. Eto'o was a 1000 years old and had a bloke in brown slip on shoes, who thought the sun shone out of his a***. Costa cannot be compared in anyway.
As for this "31" thing. surely the strikers need to "do the business" and get us Champions league so we can then go and buy the sort of striker that we are unable to sign. For now. Risking that on potential is a little fool hardy. We need proven hitmen and frankly 30/ 31 years olds are perfect for 2 years.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 21:48:16
Supposedly costa is a gentleman and extremely funny and everyone in the dressing room loves him. Its only when he plays he changes.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i have never seen the dr jeckyl side ray..only mr hyde.. :)

10 Jul 2017 23:21:06
Good shout Costa on loan until January, just a pity we did not see this and allow Onyekuru on loan until January, by which time may have had the visa sorted with playing a certain amount of games and if the guy was not ready, well the January window would be open anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2017 17:54:28
now that would make me have an accident in me pants, hope RK reads this.

Why the delay in signing new players after Rooney.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - we are going over the plans for the new stadium BCT.. :)

10 Jul 2017 20:16:38
come on bct don't talk about delays have patience and faith in our club mate, we have signed pickford keane klaasan rooney an sandro, plus henry who out on loan, plus qaulity players who gone in with unsy in u23s, this all in last couple weeks, liverpool fans an other fans from other clubs are pulling there hair out mate, dnt worry about delays just enjoy the new signings will follow.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i think there may have been a bit of sarcasm in BCT,s post mate.. :)

i don't care if they turn up in boxers and vests boys as long as we win sumthin.

prefer it over the home kit. The home kit looks like they where sat in the board room. " so the Everton shirt. Any suggestions? " . No? Oh wait what's that over there in the bin? . Ah that's last years Sunday league template. Oh bloody hell marvelous idea! Let's stick an efc badge on it . Job done!

{Ed025's Note - i knew you would have some inside info for us sir loin.. :)

10 Jul 2017 21:10:13
They're both minging.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 21:20:20
I'm with you chaps. I actually think the light blue training top is the nicest of all of em. but for the chance to play on that turf infront of 40,000 I'd play stark b@ll@ch naked! And I'd pay for the priveledge😁.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - absolutely jcl..

11 Jul 2017 06:24:37
lol ED! . Do you like it? . For me it's a minute downer on next season . And when I say minute yeah I mean it haha. We're signing all these boss players and are kit is the worst one we have had for well since I can remember ( only 22) mind so I'm sure there has been much worse

every fan concept I have seen has been 10x better imo.

Anyway it is only the kit and i bloody can't wait for the season to KO. Most excited/ optomistic I've ever been for the future

and who knows I could be witnessing us win something for the first time in the near future!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - they can wear blue mankini,s for me sir loin so long as we win games.. :)

11 Jul 2017 08:43:57
Not as bad as the home kit but still looks like training gear to me. Fingers crossed for the 3rd kit.

Now Lukaku has officially signed, how long till he comes out and admits he wears Man u slippers at home.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - love it smit..

10 Jul 2017 21:30:41
The way he dawdles round the pitch its a surprise he didn't wear slippers when playing.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 22:00:50
Yeah but he's come out and said he needs to try harder. bloody liberty!

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 17:50:15
Got to love it big rom has got his move and he still plays 2nd fiddle to Rooney on skysports . anyone fancy the lad from Stoke.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

10 Jul 2017 18:45:14
Your right there Buster mate his enthusiasm is electric he will be invaluable to the young lads, first and foremost he wants to do well for Everton and then maybe England love it, he looks really fit, just what the Club needs definitely good times ahead I see we are 80/ 1 to win the Premiership worth a punt I reckon cheers, GuernseyBlue.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 17:39:40
Arnautovic reported to have handed transfer request in. I'd take him and I think I recall Ed25 is a fan. Possibly cheaper than Giroud, but either would be great. Any actual interest in the big Austrian?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - nothing official yet mate but heres hoping..

10 Jul 2017 18:36:37
Can arnautovic play as a striker? Thought he was an out an out winger.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 19:21:07
He's actually quite a talent good with both feet usually left wing but can play anywhere across the front free, perhaps an alternative to Gylfi with Swansea pushing the price right up!

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 19:56:05
Maybe controversial but to me Sigurdson is worth 50 mill in todays market.

Agree3 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 20:24:14
Not controversial if you think that we are asking the same for Barkley. Offer 35 and chuck in niasse too. They were looking at him I believe.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 21:32:04
We will have to offer £60mill Dentie if we throw in Niasse.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 17:28:14
I tell you something. If you would have offered me 75 mil + 15 mil add ons + Rooney in exchange for lukaku I would have bitten your hand off every day of the week. I completely believe we got by far the best deal there.
Rooney fight, passion, experience etc can only benefit our kids and he doesn't expect to play every game plus the cash can go into further strengthening our already impressive squad.

Believable8 Unbelievable0

10 Jul 2017 17:01:02
Just wondering what peoples thoughts are about the way Koeman answered the question on Barkley? Do you think that's a sign he stays and signs or that he is off at some point this summer? I hope he stays and we avoid sigurdsson. Seen a vague link to Benteke who would be a great player for us, especially with sandro next to him!

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed025's Note - so lets see BT, you want to keep ross the brat, avoid gylfi and sign benteke?..lay off the drugs mate.. :)

10 Jul 2017 17:28:02
Ffs no way, Benteke i hope its just lazy journalism. people called Rom lazy this guy is an expert at it. One good season at villa done nothing since. Nah not for me.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - nor me jimmy..

10 Jul 2017 18:20:20
I've heard they want Ross to go but it's not been the reason we haven't gone for Sig. don't know how true that is.

As for Benteke. Are you utterly mad!

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 18:44:03
I would love Ross to stay as I think he offers something else, statistics last year he was good better than GS in attempts created think he will benefit without having to pick rom out! GS for me isn't the be all and end all, there is better out there for the money (max Meyer, calhangou moved to Milan for less! ) GS is painfully slow at times, he can pass but I've never seen him dribble past a couple of players and run at the opposition which worries me, isn't much pace in our team now Geri and Rom have gone and bolasie has had the worst injury for a pace player! Benteke is just a link, he'd be a good target man to ping at and get runners in behind. Who are we looking at ed? Is Reideweild a serious option?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - giroud and gylfi are very much of interest BT, and yes reideweild is on our radar mate.

10 Jul 2017 19:29:05
We will need to add some pace, if those two are signed for definite! As for on our radar, is that just we know of him, or we are actively seeking him?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - we have inquired about his availability BT but i know nothing more mate..

10 Jul 2017 23:09:45
And how did that go down? Also where do you get your info from? Anything in the benteke stuff?

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 16:51:45
Arnaoutovic alternative to sigurdsson? Could cost a little bit less but he is a luxury player but very good.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

10 Jul 2017 17:43:16
If we don't progress with Gylfi perhaps another look at Brahimi?

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 18:12:20
Gilfi is in a different league. Don't care how much Swansea want for him. If we can do it, get it done.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Jul 2017 01:27:44
Reminds me to much like Kev, can be really good but can also disappear from games.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 16:22:41
Ive got a feeling they are saving something special for us here.
To be honest tho i think Sandro will be the main man very early on.
We have bought well but i think the icing on the cake will be announced soon.
What a time to be a blue!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jul 2017 16:09:21
I've never, in all my days, seen us get so much media coverage. It seems like every time I turn on the tv or radio there's an Everton article, loving it so far.

Believable6 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - me too mate.

10 Jul 2017 15:46:40
Aranoutavic (spelling) handed a transfer request 🤔 i wonder?

Believable1 Unbelievable2

10 Jul 2017 16:01:26
Id have all day long mate, really rate him myself, Stoke fans on one of their forums are devastated.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - he was my original pick to replace rom degs, in a decent side i believe he could be awesome mate..

10 Jul 2017 16:29:40
I can see him coming too Ed,

Im fed up turning SSN on listening to some team called Everton, that's all everyone seems to talking about ha ha, like its the only team out there, we are coming back finally.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - its about time too degs, i think our neighbours are getting a bit jealous so we wont harp on mate.. :)

10 Jul 2017 16:48:51
wait until we sign Arnautavich ED as Hammers think they have him, they are already fuming with us, this will tip them over the edge.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i have no sympathy at all degs, its usually us in that position and its great to have the shoe on the other foot mate..

10 Jul 2017 15:11:25
according to the echo within the next 48 hours Everton are expected to sign Gylfi Sigurdsson from Swansea city and it has been conferment that he wants to play cm st or cam.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

10 Jul 2017 13:40:31
Hi ed with three major signings according to Jim white left to make what do you think of us getting sigurdson dembele and brahimi? Who would your money be on? Ps do you think as we've got 90m in bank to spend of rom this is why Swansea are now asking for £50m for sig?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - swansea are desperate to keep gylfi jipster so will keep moving the goal posts, i think jim white is guessing mate but i do think there is more to come, but at this stage it would be guessing to just name names..

10 Jul 2017 14:32:45
I was under the impression the away kit was being unveiled today, anyone seen anything?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jul 2017 15:37:34
Apparently it's blue :-) :-) :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 16:144:45
I think this is it, not bad eh.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 13:55:32
So we wanted £100m for Lukaku and took £75m so now Swansea want £50m for Gylfi so following the logic £37.5m should secure him 😂.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jul 2017 14:27:11
Building a side is a major task, and knowing when to walk away from a deal is very much part of that, Gylfi is a very good player, but, at almost 28, 32 million is all the money, and then some.

For 50 million, we could virtually have our pick, of some of the best creative midfield talent in the world, ones about 22-23 with sell on options. At the end of a 4 year contract, we would get little or nothing back on a man of 32, that amounts to about 20 million per season, given his contract of a reported 135,000 per week, good, but not that good.

Agree3 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 15:09:08
Totally agree jcw, goalposts keep getting moved, I would say mid £30-34 max, when it gets towards £40 then £50 Million, it's time to walk away and look elsewhere, however we made it clear we want £100 million for Lukaku, we did not then say £110 million, then £120 million so from the start Swansea should have stuck with the price they set out, now using Leicester to tempt more money, walk away Everton if they do not accept between £32-34 million.

Agree1 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 21:36:43
I would say forget the price as its irrelevant to is and in today's market the price is set by the value of the player to the selling club, not what us as fans think somebody is worth using illogical logic.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 11:29:42

I have a question regarding tapping up now I have asked the question regarding Lukaku being tapped up and I have read that klopp is upsetting people regarding using the press to unsettle players and we all condem them so what about Koeman did he not basically tap Wayne Rooney up by using the press from as early as last March to declare an interest in signing him just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Lukaku wasn't tapped up. Rooney wasn't tapped up.}

10 Jul 2017 10:52:13
cheers ED just looked dodgy with Lukaku saying he had agreed terms with a champions league club and Rooney saying yesterday he heard Koeman say in March he wanted him and once he knew that he was only going to sign for us ha ha cheers for the reply 👍.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No it was all fine.}

10 Jul 2017 10:08:21
So Utd have announced an agreement was made, Rom has said his little farewell piece but does anyone know why we haven't announced anything yet but have announced that Rooney will be wearing number 10? Seems a bit strange the order things have happened with this?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jul 2017 11:13:34
ed's any thoughts about this?

{Ed025's Note - it could be because the medical was in the US dunc but im not sure mate..

I am wondering what the news is with Riedewield? I've seen he pulled out of a match due to a squad number issue. Is he a realistic target, surely bigger clubs (Chelsea, city) are linked?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - city and chelsea are higher profile than us BT...NOT BIGGER, players are buying into this project of ours mate and there is no reason why riedewield cant be the next to join the revolution mate..

10 Jul 2017 10:07:48
That's more what I meant rather than bigger haha! Is there an actual link to Riedewield or is it just wishful thinking?

The signing I'm most excited about is Rooney I seen an interview with him and he seems like he needs to prove people wrong. I think all the blue fans who have said he is done and never wanted him bk (including you ed0025 😀) are going to be very surprised/ happy.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - humble pie is very much part of my staple diet shakey, but no one will be happier than me if he can step up to the plate and guide us to glory mate..

10 Jul 2017 09:39:27
I also said Rooney wasn't my first choice and am really hoping he delivers on the pitch, we all know off the pitch he will be great for the club. He is after all one of us.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 11:30:50
He did look good yesterday

It looks as though he has shed a few pounds.

And anyone who publicly admits to wearing Everton Pyjama's is not going to take any crap on the field.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2017 01:26:43
Can't wait to see Rooney again kissing the badge. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think Everton would be relevant again. Players now want to come to us, and not the average mid to lower type player. Mr Moshiri, you alone have saved this club from obscurity. Now it's time for RK and the players to perform and beat Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United, Man City and spuds all away and fear the revolution called Everton!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

10 Jul 2017 07:51:18
Lol, with signing rooney and losing lukaku don't expect to beat the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United, Man City and spurs.

Everton will be lucky to finish 7th next season.
Dream On Boyz.

Peace.

{Ed025's Note - jealousy is a terrible trait to have MD, you have to admit that everton are going places mate and look the stronger of the merseyside teams, i remember years and years ago when liverpool were a big club and deservedly gained respect in the football world but them days are long gone, there is a new sheriff in town and he wears a royal blue shirt..be afraid...be very afraid mate..

10 Jul 2017 08:51:25
Ed, nicely put. personally although would be great to beat reds. I ain't a bitter blue. devote my time to supporting my club. don't understand how reds fans can be bitter ( assuming md is) . had plenty of success. why worry about little old Everton? Focus should be on own clubs progress.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i just like to wind them up a bit jcl, they love to have a go at us mate and think they are miles better than us when really there is nothing in it..

Misunderstood ed. but work with man u and LFC fans. and continuously get stick 😉.

Just had a look around some of the other Rumour sites for teams in the top 6-8, fantastic reading for an hour if anybody has free time. I'm amazed how a couple of teams have such little interaction though, Arsenal and Spurs especially.

Felt the need to post this, on Man Utd page, although they acknowledge his decline in the last couple of years, they are saying some genuinely nice things about Rooney, his accolades and how he gave his all on the pitch, and wishing him success at "his spiritual home". i'm thoroughly impressed by the class these fans are showing in their comments towards a player who departed. Refreshing change in a time of slating players!
