Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

26 Mar 2016 21:20:38
Truth is Rom has been great for us, three seasons and has improved every year!
He is on the verge of becoming world class this judgement will be secured when he plays for a Real, Barcelona or Bayern scores his 30 including CL goals because the quality of team will elevate his status, can you blame him wanting this? No he has been loyal but won't get what he wants here, if anyone believes under Martinez and even with £150m this will change then step back and think again!

Totally agree Martinez has to go. Doesn't look like happening even though majority want it to.

Different manager with a kitty of £150m a lot could and would change. Chances are for the better. Fingers crossed that happens sooner rather than later.

Would rather keep Luk and build a team by selling no players. Especially now we have money in the bank.

Only if he wants to stay. If his heart is not in it then its not in his or Everton's interest for him to remain at the club. Its said a lot but is very true 'no player is bigger than the club'. So if the rumours are true and he wants to leave I say let him go, reluctantly.

Great player imo but there will be plenty more great players to arrive at Everton in the future. As Ed025 says below the contract is not worth the paper they are written on if things go sour and things go like the situation at West Brom.

{Ed002's Note - What money in the bank is that?}

26 Mar 2016 21:57:33
Some reports saying Everton have up to £150m to play with this summer, not true?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Nobody sets budgets quite like that - and does that include money from the sale of Lukaku? Stones perhaps?}

26 Mar 2016 22:17:34
I agree budgets aren't laid out in that manner.

I'll put it to you like this Ed002. Has Everton ever had the budget for transfers that they will have this summer?

Yes, every club will have a bigger budget with tv money but will Everton not have the benefit of our new owner also?

Martinez has already a net spend but surely all the noises from Everton are that the team will be invested in or money put into stadium.

Personally I'd prefer sorting out stadium. In my opinion it would be the most sensible option and obviously replace the likes of Luk if he leaves. Striker and keeper is about the only positions that need strengthening badly especially if or when Luk leaves.

{Ed002's Note - They will have more money than before simply because of the additional media money and some coming in advance. I would still ask about this "money in the bank" - what money are you referring to?}

27 Mar 2016 10:07:05
Surely the whole point of our new owner is to invest? Seeing that he is supposedly a billionaire and our good chairman BK has aloud him to come on board. I apologise unreservedly Ed002. It was a term of phrase I used in reference to our new owner. Again I apologise for any misinterpretation there was no ill will against anyone and it was not said in either a malice or smart way.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The problem is that the investor has not arrived to simply throw money at players, it is to invest in the overall business and to build the club up. I have explained that what I suspect will happen is that external help will come in to look at where the entire business is (not just the footballing side) and where it needs to get to.

In order to achieve where it needs to get to there needs to be a sensible plan (stadium, academy, involvement of the community and the local authorities, football side, commercial side etc.). From a commercial perspective there will be a big boost next season with the additional media money, and a good chunk of that will be available early to encourage summer spending. Also on the footballing side Everton will perhaps look to inform UEFA of new investment (this has to be done by December 31) which will give a short-term buffer against FFP for the 2017/18 season.

I would also suspect that the plan will include the run down of BK over the next year or so and then the sale of his shares to Farhad Moshiri or Farhad Moshiri in partnership with another/others.

Critically, there needs to be a plan and not knee jerk reaction where the club goes out with a wish list and buys just for the hell of. There will extra funds (the additional money from the television deal and the money from the sale of Lukaku and Stones would likely give you something in the order of this £150M the fans are quoting) and there will be changes - but it is about much more than the team. There will be investment in the facilities - the stadium and the academy. There will be a commercial push to bring more money in. But keep in mind it is not always easy to buy success - a prime example is down the road at Anfield where the owners have funded, as far as they are concerned, at least two EPL titles since they arrived and are likely to have a final throw of the dice with Klopp again. Financial mismanagement and vast debt is not the way forward.

Mr Moshiri is a businessman looking to improve an asset - don't forget taht.}

27 Mar 2016 10:51:23
Thank you very much for that Ed002. I wasn't suggesting Everton spend money willy nilly.

I have always been money aware and am definitely not of the impression it grows on trees. I have backed Moyes here before because of how well he done with financial constraints. I have also praised BK on how he ran the club with financial constraints as well.

Another thing I have praised is how Arsenal have took the whole business approach to the future of their club and have said I'd love to see Everton do the same.

Ed025 can verify that. I'd rather buy a player for value at £5m compared to a so called marquee signing for £25m.

Again thank you for your insight. As for the running of a big football club I obviously don't have a clue. I just have a small self-employed business.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - You don't need to excuse yourself at all. Everton are moving in the right direction, but it is critical everything is managed properly.}

26 Mar 2016 19:59:18
The Independant now reporting that in the event of Lukaku leaving Everton at the end of the season this will in turn pile on a load more pressure on manager Martinez especially in light of his teams under achievements in the league this season and is likely to result in a change of manager. oh well, maybe some good could come out of Rom leaving after all lol.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed033's Note - Hopefully for Everton fans, Bill Kenwright doesn't have any influence over the choice of manager as it was only a couple of weeks ago that Kenwright was saying, "What a [great] manager" about Roberto Martinez.

Clearly Kenwright is deluded about Martinez, as anyone in their right mind would of instead of saying, "What a manager" about Martinez, would have said, "What a striker" about Lukaku.

26 Mar 2016 19:27:03
To all those on here who, "if" Rom gets a move this summer are posting wishing the lad well, good on you. To the ones who suddenly see him as an average striker or a money grabber, shame on you. There isn't one of us here who would reject trebling our annual income if possible overnight. The lad has transformed into one of the best young strikers in world football, and with that comes wanting to perform on the biggest stage. It might be a bitter pill to swallow, but sitting mid table with Everton playing in front of 38,000 fans does not compare to playing for Mardid in front of 80 odd thousand, or playing champions league football season after season. Madrid, Bayern, Chelsea or even United, whoever it may be can offer him more than Everton do unfortunately for you. Is there anything whinge with wanting to get to the top of your profession? Wanting to win trophies?

Will Everton ever in this lads career offer him the chance of maybe winning a CL medal? We know the answer to that.

On top of that, your club will likely come out £30m in profit, so he performs for you then leaves you with plenty of cash in hand when he leaves. I think you should wish the lad well. He seems a good lad each time I've watched him seems to give his all for the shirt. You can't ask more than that. If he goes on to fail elsewhere so be it but why wish that upon him?

My side are likely to lose our only World class player this summer in De Gea, I for one will wish him well and understand his decision should he swap us for europes elite, something at this time we are not. You should be proud if one of your players goes on to massive things, not be bitter about it. As harsh as it is, Everton will never be able to offer the worlds best what the European elite sides can. Truth hurts but why live in denial?

Believable5 Unbelievable2

26 Mar 2016 19:51:19
Yes, but you're not elite anymore, why would he want to join a club in turmoil since old whisky nose left?
Sign his dad.

Agree0 Disagree1

26 Mar 2016 20:46:29
I think he'll do very well wherever he goes. The lads always scored goals and probably always will. And we will as always get top dollar.

Not sure what motivates a united fan to pass comment on here though, probably hoping there is some reference on here to what the rags are spouting guff about.

Don't get your hopes up about him signing for you as he wants champions league next season. But in fairness to you, you make some good points.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 21:06:47
Did I not just say we weren't elite at the minute? But we are still a step up from Everton weather you like it or not and its only matter or time before we are back in the CL. Don't focus on one element tho. It's more likely a move to a big European side so why deny him the chance to better himself

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 21:32:19
Toffee ace, I just enjoy the general football conversation across the board, not just on united page. I also try to pass judgement honestly, I don't come to gloat. Just give my view on it, what these sites are all about

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 19:15:51
All I see is people talkin bout how much we can get for players like rom keep him barkley, besic and build a chalanging team around them go all out to keep theese players all we need is a top attackin midfielder or 2 and 2 more quality strikers and were in with a shout be my pal bluelee will agree bein a true blue also coyb.

Mr stand-united please toddle back to your own site. if he wants champions league football we wish him well, but it won't be garanteed at united, you are falling into the same group of teams as us trying to scrape into champions league or hopeing uefa make it a closed group.

26 Mar 2016 17:17:48
gets right on my tits, LUKAKU, wants to leave for champions league football, he gave us the chance to get champions league football but we couldn't give him this, so why all the crap about he is not that good anyway. thanks to LuKUKU for the effort.

Totally agree mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 18:21:53
He is under contract. A contract that HE was happy to sign. It is up to the club as to whether we allow him to "move on" for Champions League football. or make him stay for his contract and help us qualify for the Champions League. He can go on strike like the kid at West Brom. but that won't do him any good for a contract at another club. We hold the aces.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - most contracts have clauses in them allowing a player to move on if the fee can be arranged degsy, it is of no benefit to us having rom in the reserves and is just cutting your nose off to spite your face mate as he wont be playing and we wont have the dosh to replace him, im afraid thats just the way it works as these contracts are not worth the paper they are printed on..

26 Mar 2016 16:47:37
Just as I said rom will leave, champs league and money if only he'd stay o well your loss rom pure greed next will be stones see ya both I hope u both make the wrong move there are better player iut there only thing bill an mr moshri have to do is find them and make us smile again with all this money for jew player we can have a solid back 4 and 3 or 4 strikers for less than chelsea and city will pay for theese 2 I for one have gone right off stones and rom roll on end of season and when we get our new players in and playing together when stones and lakaku come back as opposition we will laugh at them and say oh well you should have stayed never mind your loss.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Mar 2016 17:07:44
why greed? the lad wants to get to the top just like you would.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 17:13:50
Are you having a laugh?!

Pure greed? He's clearly ambitious, why would he stay at a club that has failed for the last two seasons? Stay with Martinez another year and finish bottom half is hardly matching his ambition. The best striker we've had in 20 years, for me the best we'll have in the next 20. Sad to see him go, but he deserves a better club and a better manager.

Can't just jump on the 'greedy' bandwagon because a player moves to a bigger club. Face facts, we are no longer footballing giants.

Why do fans have to ruin or taint good spells with great players. Appreciate the time spent, the moments he gave us. The massive profit the club will get. Wish them luck and move on. Just makes the fans look bitter and deluded. Rooney was an exception at the time.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 18:00:47
a couple of years ago we were in a similar position to spurs in terms of squad strength league position etc.
However what shows the difference is how spurs have developed as a team under Poch whereas we have declined under RM.
The issue now is spurs will not have to fight to keep their best players as they will have CL, whilst we will most likely lose our crown jewels.
But I'm sure RM told Bill he would give him CL football within 4 years so maybe next year?
I won't hold my breath at this point!

26 Mar 2016 14:43:24
Don't panic blues. we know Rom is a good striker but in my opinion not a great one. I feel we can find strikers just as good for half the price. Come to think of it. we can afford three or four of them now.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

26 Mar 2016 14:58:13
I agree don't think he is that good if they want to pay 60 million for him take it all day sick of these players using champions league for an excuse to leave for more money if he doesn't want to play for us then goodbye £££££££.

Agree2 Disagree1

26 Mar 2016 15:10:58
Gents, I agree he is not great. yet. But its been about 30yrs since Everton had a 30 a season goal scorer, and rom has done the business consistently since about 19.also considering he has played a loan striker much of though season I think he's been incredible. I guess the question for me is how do you replace his goals if he leaves. hopefully Everton are already working hard accordingly.

Agree0 Disagree1

26 Mar 2016 15:45:43
If he wants to go then bye, as long as the price is right. But I think a few fans are trying to play down his ability. he's a quality striker. Yes there is room for improvent but he has that room. He will be difficult to replace. If he goes we will move on from him no doubt, but he is being linked with the greats (who are miles above us in stature and quality) for a reason.

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 13:37:45
Well it looks like rom is off and for me I am disappointed in both the player and the club
Like many other players he could find out that the grass isn't always greener
Bayern Munich? Really? He views a bundesliga team as the next step in his career? Or Man Utd? A team on a steady decline who will soon be in the lower levels of obscurity. Or back to Chelsea? A club that nearly destroyed his career? Or Real Madrid who will discard him quicker than Chelsea should he throw in some performances that we have witnessed at Everton!
Rom you're still only 23 and in 3 seasons at Everton you have become the best striker in the league ( goals )
Surely we are worth waiting for to see if we use the investment wisely and finally wake this sleeping giant of a club once and for all
Maybe you should take a look at some of your past performances in front of your adoring faithful and although you are top scorer this season maybe have a look at some of the shocking misses or very below par performances you have given us and ask yourself are you really ready to discard us so quickly? After all aren't we the club that gave you the opportunity and support to make you the goal scorer you are right now?
As for the club, seriously someone needs to get a grip and act before players of this caliber start assuming we are incapable of career development.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - Just to be clear, Real Madrid, Bayern and Chelsea a re the first, third and fifth ranked clubs in Europe - and Lukaku destroyed his own career at Chelsea. Everton are currently ranked 71st.}

26 Mar 2016 14:00:03
Just to be clearer, Bayern have very little competition in the Bundelsiga and now will be without guardiola
Real Madrid are bordering on poor and have lived off the galacticos tag for way too long, in fact their rivals look a better team and are challenging them and Barcelona every season
He ruined his career at Chelsea? Maybe he acted out of frustration a few times but tell me another young talent that Chelsea have nurtured?
For me, having watched Everton won titles and cups, I don't care for rankings and if we are 71st then again it shows the need for someone to get a grip at the club
He is 23 and should consider the opportunity he has at a club who until recently (last 20 yrs) were considered as a team up there with Madrid and Bayern and could not have been put in the same sentence as Chelsea
Maybe I'm talking about loyalty and club management rhen rather than Fifa rankings which mean absolutely nothing to me
He's had a good season in terms of goals but he's looked so poor on occasions and he should be concentrating on his current club rather than believing the hype and thinking he is good enough to take the world on
At 23 he is still young enough to learn and after paying 28m for him he should, imho, honour his contract
I mean if he's truly world class then another season or two won't damage his price now would it?
Also for me Everton are a club with a name just as big as the clubs mentioned and like I said I have witnessed us win titles and cups and I firmly believe we are capable of hitting those heights again.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He will jump at a move to either of the top ranked teams in Europe. Lukaku completely fouled up any chance he had at Chelsea by something he did. 20 years ago is not "recently" in terms of football. If all players were to "honour" their contracts there would be no transfers. Whilst you may see Everton on a par with the likes of Real Madrid but it is simply not true. Players are transient and come and go. Did you complain when he arrived as he did not honour his previous contracts?}

26 Mar 2016 14:13:53
I personally hope he doesn't go back to chelsea, and wouldn't like to see him at united but its his choice at the end of the day. wouldn't blame the lad if he left, he has give us a good amount of goals, a good amount of effort, some fantastic memorable moments . and would make the club a healthy profit. Owes us nothing. Would personally like to see him go to real madrid or bayern. I like the bindesliga whilst i'm not that interested in other leagues apart from the prem, and bayern is a super power in world football, along with Barcelona and real madrid. Obviously forat and foremost I would love for him to love us another year. I wouldn't say myself he destroyed his own career at chelsea, as I don't think chelsea are the best club for youngters to thrive and develop, particularly under mourinho. I also don't like the way they monopolise huge pools of young talent and ship them all out. don't think lukaku was nurturex enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 14:29:52
It baffles me why you have dissected both my posts to produce some sort of argument regarding the stature of out club
There were many more valid points that I raised rather than simply focusing on clubs being rated higher than Everton
Sorry kidda but I will always believe we are a massive club as our past achievements prove
If players honoured their contracts there'd be no transfers? Silly statement to make considering most contracts are between 3-5 yrs
Lukaku was told he wouldn't feature for Chelsea and so went out on loan twice! So no I wasn't bothered he didn't honour that contract
Are you actually a blue?
Why couldn't you pick up on issues like poor club management to discuss or the fact that we are a massive club with a list of honours and massive loyal fan base but are underachieving?
You seem to be more interested in proving we are a small club who can't ever hope to compete at the top again!
Sorry lad I disagree.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - You expect Lukaku to honour his contract but don't see why clubs should not be able to make transfer. You have zero understanding about what happened at Chelsea. I am not interested in making Everton to be a "massive" club or a "small" club - that is a some bizarre problem you seem obsessed with. My point is that your views about Everton being at the highest level of the game have not been true for many, many years. You need to accept the situation as it is.}

26 Mar 2016 14:37:48
Have to agree with ed, if the likes of Real or Bayern come in for him then his agent will be working overtime to get him there. We are in a decent position on this as he has a few years to run on his contract so we should get a top price for him, especially since he scores plenty of goals. Also has the potential to get even better.
Ed002, what did he do at Chelsea to foul up his chances? At the time he moved to us I thought he had fallen out with Jose as he wanted another season on loan or was there other issues that you know of?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I am not going to get in to what happened with Lukaku to upset Chelsea so much but it was absolutely nothing to do with the manager.}

26 Mar 2016 08:29:51
Id really like us to go for arnautovic (spelling)
In the summer. he's abit of a bad egg but I think we need that.

Number 1 target but no chance of him is kante!

Not a big fan of the way Bill has run the club, but, a few weeks ago, when it was hinted he was on his last legs, then like many other, was preperd to wish him a full recovery, and, in that event, an honoury on going roll.
Sorry, but all bets are off, Bill, stand aside, (at last) and let us have ARE CLUB, back, you are not capable of making a sucsess of it, even if you have found someone to pay the bills for your tired vision for the club.
If you expect us to just suck it up, if you leave Martinez in controll, sick or otherwise, you will have a fight on your hands!

{Ed001's Note - what has he done so wrong? He has done everything he could, even when he managed to sort out a new stadium the fans, you and others, blocked it.}

I can't believe what you say. I will curtail my own opinions only to say Kenwight saved this club from certain bankrupcy after years of mis management and I have spoken with him about his passion for the club and he is a real supporter. Like Ed001 says. what has he done wrong?

Agree6 Disagree1

26 Mar 2016 08:03:36
Disagree with that post, Bill always has the club's best intentions at heart. We are run on a much smaller scale to other clubs in the premier but we believe that we should be better. Look at players wages; if we started paying 200k a week for a winger we would go the same way as Leeds or Portsmouth. We are a well run club with gradual investment. We have had a bad season, but it doesn't mean that it is down to the loyal chairman.

Totally agree Ed001. Very thankless job for BK. Done nothing but good for the club and all he has gotten in return is abuse from ungrateful so called fans.

Took over the club when no one else wanted and imo done a damn good job of bringing it to where it is today. The future is bright for Everton. a lot of that if not all is down to BK.

26 Mar 2016 10:12:08
Footie fans are fickle, but you only have to look around at other owners. randy learner, Mike Ashley to name but a few, and you realise that what bill has done with Everton is staggering. We were on the brink of financial ruin for many years, buying players on a shoe string budget, and coming up with some real gems, e. g. Cahill and Coleman, aretata, pienaar. all of whom cost buttons in relative terms. prior to that we had Johnson. He also kept ticket prices low and considered the fans. surely people can't forget his tenure? Regardless of the circumstances, and his theatrics, bill has been true to his word, and on the face of it brought in new investment and what appears to be an astute business man. As far as I'm concerned the bill kenwright stomping should stop and the man should be given the appropriate respect as a true blue.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 10:19:03
I have openly backed bill on here
I just don't understand how he can still back Martinez, soon as the fans turn at home games with banners and singing it. He will get the message.

Martinez plays good attacking footy can't defend to save his life tho. Moahiri will sort this out. He has put a lot of cash in so he won't have it.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Mar 2016 10:44:06
what a load of rubbish the original post is Bill saved us from bankruptcy and got rid of that kopite Peter Johnson he has continually to the best of his ability gave our manager transfer funds ok we might not like how he has done it but what do we know about running a football club probably as much as Bill did when he took us over he probably didn't have a clue and now he has brought a billionaire to the table you want him thrown out the club well in my eyes he has got us a great deal a billionaire and himself and Jon woods two massive Evertonions who love our club I'm sorry to say it's you who should step aside while the rest of us enjoy the ride we have waited so long for even if that means Roberto stays we can't do anything about it.

Good post Jcl1878. You put down some good points. BK has done wonders along with Moyes imo. I know plenty will disagree but imo these people are either blind or just won't acknowledge the constraints the club was under in BK and Moyes rein.

I didn't agree with everything they done but overall both done a fantastic job imo. I will be forever grateful for both who in my eyes secured the bright future we now find ourselves in today.

The club as pointed out above managed to do very well under financial pressure which was largely due to the man in charge before BK.

JCW100 I know your a regular poster and your entitled to your view but I definitely don't agree with you on this one.

{Ed025's Note - you all know how i feel about bill, but one thing i will say is that its all about opinion and not to take it personally if other posters dont agree with you..

Agree with posts supporting Bill but surely that does not mean he should be immune from criticism.

26 Mar 2016 12:58:53
For the record, I'm not a Martinez fan, I never have been. I think his inability to compromise or accept what the fans consider common knowledge is infuriating. but I still believe Bill has been a great chairman. I'll agree to differ with him over Martinez, and in any case I think Mr moshiri is obviously strong and astute enough to do what he believes is best for his investment and the club. and won't be swayed either way.

Agree0 Disagree1

26 Mar 2016 13:01:08
Kenwright probably excepts some of the criticism but has always done his best for our club. you only have to listen his radio show to here him talk about his beloved club. Lay off him whilst ill he still managed to convince moshiri to invest. still believe if he felt martinez was dragging us down he would get shut like happened with walter smith.

26 Mar 2016 14:18:56
So JCW, you was prepared to wish him well when he was quite ill but, now he seems to be recovering, you want to write yet another post slating him? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you were one of the posters on here that wanted him to find a suitable new investor/ owner. You slated him for hanging on to the club. Now you have got your wish you continue to have a go at him. Within the next 18 months, it appears that there will be more change at board level as many expect FM to increase his stake to become majority share holder. BK is there to help with this transition. Try, just for once JCW, to post one positive thing about EFC. Not as hard as you think mate! Duncsmum got a lot of stick from ed002 and some others for being a troll over sacking RM, you are worse with your BK assasinations on here.

Criticising kenright. Everybody is susceptable to criticism, but an outright attack on him, stating he has no interests in what benefits the club. Blind bitterness because everything isn't going exactly how us fans would want it to go. I understand the frustations and my point isn't an attack but an illustration of the fact these views are down to emotional examinations of outcomes and not and objective analysis including concrete evidince solely (or the majority) directly linked to bills faults and mistakes.

Ed I have always backed him as you know and will, just wish he wouldn't get so friendly and louvie douvie with our managers. They are there to do a job, Bill feels bad sacking them, hope moshiri takes charge of this very soon.

As fans we need to make our voice heard very loud in games what we think of Martinez.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - he has good relationships with most people pb he tries to run a friendly family orientated club, but i do agree that at times you have to be ruthless and maybe this is one of them times mate..

Ed025 he may well be thinking about RM's future. I didn't hear the interview, but he has to give the manager his full support. Like Harry Rednapp once said, "The Chairman is right behind me! But I want him in front of me so I can see what he is doing! " Come the end of the season, RM may well be the past tense. It depends on our run in and FA Cup run. Our League run in is as difficult as anyones. I expect us to be in 14th or 15th position at best. So it all probaably rests on the FA Cup.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - to finish 14th or even lower is a sorry state of affairs degsy, and even if we do win the cup it should not detract from the fact that this season has been an absolute shambles mate..
