Jack Harrison close according to Paul Joyce and Bobble.

BlueJohnUns

{Ed002's Note - For the LW collection.}


1.) 13 Aug 2023 12:15:21
We’d surely be bringing him in to play on the right. I don’t think we even have a right winger in the squad after Townsend left.


2.) 13 Aug 2023 12:45:47
Wiki have Jack Harrison as an Everton player someone’s quick sadly they write Everton F c obviously too quick to press the caps key!


3.) 13 Aug 2023 12:53:06
Maybe so Gibbo but his preferred/ best position is on the left, why can't we just sign an actual right winger?


4.) 13 Aug 2023 12:57:37
He is better than any LW we have anyway and comfortably, so I don't see too much of a problem.

{Ed002's Note - Danjuma has also been added and other parts of the squad need work.}


5.) 13 Aug 2023 13:03:06
We do love to collect our LW’s Ed.


6.) 13 Aug 2023 13:29:56
Harrison is better than Danjuma and I would rather blood in a permanent signing than a loan. Danjuma's favoured position is LW but he would provide better cover up front than Maupay would.


7.) 13 Aug 2023 14:37:28
He does also play right wing. It gives us options on both side of the pitch. Danjuma looks like he may be a decent CF. He made some intelligent runs yesterday.


8.) 13 Aug 2023 15:32:28
Harrison is on loan isn't he.


9.) 13 Aug 2023 15:37:01
Good teams have good players pushing the starters. Levels raise naturally. Who wouldn't rather have better attacking options than we did last year, even if some of them hinder others by playing in their favoured positions.

Harrison for me would be an upgrade on any player we currently have. He works his bollocks off up and down the wing and is well drilled, whilst offering greater attacking output than what we currently have in wide areas. McNeil isn't anywhere near the same player on the right side. So I wouldn't mind Harrison playing on the right over an Iwobi or a Garner. Both of those players should be competing with the others for spots in the middle of the park. With Garner he could even be played at RB for the season if this is Pattersons level.

Obligation to buy on Harrison would be a fantastic deal for us as I don't think it would take up a loan spot but could be wrong there.


10.) 13 Aug 2023 15:37:12
I read somewhere that Danjuma can play across the line.


11.) 13 Aug 2023 15:59:01
Jack Harrison might be left foot footed but he likes to play on the right hand side so he can cut in.


12.) 13 Aug 2023 16:07:23
Well I didn't see that coming!


13.) 13 Aug 2023 16:15:15
Definitely a massive upgrade to what we have, typical SD player.


14.) 13 Aug 2023 17:17:07
Danjuma right footed likes LW but comfortable across the line. Jack Harrison left footed LW but comfortable on the RW.


15.) 13 Aug 2023 17:28:35
Rumours he’s another Leeds player with a relegation release clause so maybe it’s a permanent deal
Good business either way.


16.) 13 Aug 2023 17:36:58
Never mind gone to Villa!

You and me BJU, I'm sick of reading articles, that contrast the previous one I read. Seem to be going round and round in circles. Does anyone know what is actually going on?
I mean it looked nailed on we were getting Nuno, now it looks like we are getting Rafa, another article saying we are in talks with a return of Martinez, and another still linking us with potter. I think we have been linked with every manager in the history of the game.
Next one will be a return to the premier League for Alex Ferguson.
Glad we aren't just jumping into an appointment, but it sounds as though we don't know who we want.
At least there are managers interested!

It's gone mental with reports Zaha is being negotiated.

Not sure how true this is and I don't think it's possible at all. Let's wait and see.

BlueJohnUns

1.) 05 Oct 2020 12:19:49
Palace have been mentioned as having interest in Walcott too. Our forward options would be exceptional if this were true - fear it may just be lazy journalism.

{Ed002's Note - Walcott is not going to CP.}


2.) 05 Oct 2020 12:34:40
Interesting you're not saying "Zaha is not going to Everton" Ed.


3.) 05 Oct 2020 13:01:52
I can take him or leave him. I'm more interested in a GK option than Zaha.

Apart from that Walcott looks like he may go, bolasie is the one being talked about going to CP and besic to rangers with Kean already gone.

That's some good business if it happens. Can't think of anything more we could have done.


4.) 05 Oct 2020 13:12:31
I really don't see Zaha link being true to not this late in the window!


5.) 05 Oct 2020 13:38:06
Zaha will be with Palace for the rest of his career now unless they get relegated.


6.) 05 Oct 2020 13:57:47
I can't either and not fussed about him at all. A few are reporting we are in for romero from untied now. I'd be very happy with that one though.

{Ed025's Note - he would be my choice john..


7.) 05 Oct 2020 14:28:18
Think Bolasie and Besic would both look good in a Palace shirt ;0)


8.) 05 Oct 2020 14:32:23
I don't see how Saha gets in our starting eleven at the moment. He's a good player but I'd rather any money be spent on a quality GK to compete with JP and some loan CF to give DCL a rest every 5/ 6 games and come on as impact. On a similar note, any whispers on Carlo thoughts on Tosun as he's not had a sniff or mention but with MK going out on loan, maybe this will change? Don't think he's injured and he can certainly finish if supplied.


9.) 05 Oct 2020 14:45:40
Shows how far we’ve come if that’s true. Realistically, one of our front three will either have a knock or need resting most weeks - Zaha would get plenty of game time. Also, James R can play the no.10 with 2 holding midfielders so all 4 could play. He would strengthen the squad, no doubt there. If we can get rid of 4/ 5 squad players, it’s not impossible.


10.) 05 Oct 2020 14:56:21
I agree corner. Tosun is another one who may do a decent job now we have better cohesion up front. We need to give these players a chance with the added quality we've already added.


11.) 05 Oct 2020 15:16:55
Tosun got a bad injury last season while on loan at Palace. He’s still injured as far as I know.


12.) 05 Oct 2020 15:39:55
Tosun out until new year I think, torn ACL.

Lampard has not improved his squad he bought a striker when they already have giroud abraham and batshaui he has mount and pulisic but then buys havertz and zyech so attack was not a priority its his defence and midflield that need reinforcing .

Bluejohn, He's dynamite mate, just exudes Everton FC and if you don't follow suit, start ducking pal! lol.


3.) 17 Dec 2019 21:26:44
True Blue mate.


4.) 18 Dec 2019 06:33:01
No one is doubting his passion for the club but I’m not convinced he’s managerial material yet. In both Chelsea and Man Utd games we had around 30% possession and were fortunate not to concede more than one. We are still shaky at the back and not setting the world on fire (or even Goodison on fire) up front.

He’s been at the club since 2014 and it would be strange to not attribute some of the issues of the last few seasons with him. Have the last two results been part of the ‘new manager’ effect? He is a step in the right direction compared to Silva but that’s no real accolade to be fair.

It’d be great to see if he can win a few more games but I’m not sold that he is the man for the top job yet.


5.) 18 Dec 2019 08:05:54
He has been in charge for little over a week and has changed a team with no confidence to a team that don't stop fighting for each other. Picked up 4 points along the way with only 30% possession. He can only work with what he has and at the moment there are a few crucial injury problems as well.


6.) 18 Dec 2019 08:45:06
I'd love nothing more than one day dunc become our manager, would be boss! however not yet, also its called new manager bounce when someone comes in and has an immediate affect 8/ 10 it happens as the players get a kick up the arse.

{Ed025's Note - very much so wb..


7.) 18 Dec 2019 14:24:36
I would rather give up possession and get results when needed. One of the issues with Silva and Martinez is that they wanted possession and control all the time. That's why teams would just get back and defend solidly. Sometimes, you have to accept that the other team will have more of the ball. Results over style is important.

However I'm not saying play the SA way. I'm just saying against the bigger teams, we may need to play that way, especially when we are struggling.


8.) 18 Dec 2019 16:30:27
:the guy bleeds blue: Don't we all that's not credentials?


9.) 18 Dec 2019 19:43:45
Although he’s only been manager for a week, he has been working with these players for years as a coach.


10.) 18 Dec 2019 21:49:29
The whole argument of new manager bounce falls flat when you look at Arsenal.


11.) 19 Dec 2019 09:52:49
Tiffa, Some just cannot accept that DF has more to him than just being an avid Evertonian mate.


12.) 19 Dec 2019 10:46:13
thats why i said 8/ 10 mate.


13.) 20 Dec 2019 15:06:01
"Although he’s only been manager for a week, he has been working with these players for years as a coach" And that's when we went downhill.


14.) 20 Dec 2019 18:41:21
Sadly we went downhill after a long period of stability under moyes who took us as far as he could, Martinez, koeman, big sam and silva took us backwards to throw blame at dunc is daft, the players responded to him and put a shift in for him, he will have gained a lot from his caretaker stint, but is not quite ready yet.


15.) 21 Dec 2019 19:56:02
Agreed. Dunc has steadied the ship, restored pride and may even have helped convince Ancelotti that we're not a hopeless case. He's probably learnt loads over the last few weeks which will help him whether he goes elsewhere to be a manager or stays at Goodison to help out.

We saw the limits of 4-4-2 today as well, we looked flat and started passing sideways and were unable to link with the forwards or get decent crosses in. A poor Arsenal were able to get between the lines.

I'd like to see Niasse come on as sub rather than Tosun as well.


16.) 22 Dec 2019 22:53:44
carlo 4 year deal, i'd be happy with dunc then, he seems level headed and still willing to learn.

What a great 3 points against Chelsea. We are absolutely horrible to play against. Aggressive for almost 90 mins every game and teams look terrified when THEY have the ball as when they lose the ball we are like hyenas feasting off the scraps and make a wholesome meal out of it.

Dyche has got this team so organised but the team are so together. When you compared Chelsea to Everton today, it was chalk and cheese. Everyone encouraging each other and fighting for each other whereas Chelsea looked like a team of individuals. In fact they looked like us over the past few years with a bit more talent granted.

The things I loved from today was Myko again just relishing every tackle but when he's on the floor after a tackle, someone is there from our team with a hand out to help him up and a pat on the back. And that's everywhere on that pitch.

We all know and have been around long enough to know talent gets you so far but teamwork, togetherness, fight and Spirit is what makes a team winners. Well Dyche, the backroom staff, players and these fans are one hell of a team at the moment.

I said before the Newcastle game, if you're going to beat us, you're going to have to bring your A game because this is one hell of a team to try and beat.

I want those 10 points back because we'd be just 4 points from 5th right now and I'd back this lot to get there by the end of the season.

For me the biggest difference has been the fans. Gone is the spitefulness and hostility towards our own players and instead have now directed it towards the corrupt in power and the other team. And we need that to continue in every game, win, lose or draw. I'm proud again of our fans.

So bring it on Blues, Keep that chin up and keep backing this team 100% every game.

Top post bju. Couldn't agree more. You have to have that unity from players manager and to fans. It's not existed for sometime. The 10 point deduction makes me so angry that I hope we are absolutely horrible to play against for every team in the league for the rest of the season and beyond!


2.) 10 Dec 2023 21:32:56
It's more like frustration with me Witty41. The so-called experts on the Commission must have had a very good liquid lunch. 10 pts for 19 mill is unsustainable, I fully expect the appeal board to scratch their heads at the stupidness of it. They will, I expect reduce by 5 pts. Even if, I would still think it harsh. A 1 or 1 1/ 2 game punishment would be fair.

How can anyone moan at a 3-0 win, please explain how any game is easy, we lost to Luton now long ago yet some are questioning we had our strongest team and only won 3-0, is this a joke, few weeks back we would of been over joyed to get a point out of games, never mind getting in to a quarter final, liverpool beat us 2-0, that's against 10 men, had 1 shot on target till the penalty, wonder if they are saying the same about there team or happy they won the game, people just be happy when we win, these days have been far and wide of late, they may not last so make the most of them, even though I do think we have turned a corner.

8.) 02 Nov 2023 19:32:56
We beat Villa mid week then lost to Luton at the weekend. I hope history doesn’t repeat itself and we beat Brighton at the weekend.

I’d like to have seen more of a second string play against Burnley and put the strongest side out against Brighton.


9.) 02 Nov 2023 22:20:03
Nah I get it. However, we've had too many false dawns over the years. I'm not saying anything other than I've lost that fear from the past couple of seasons. This time I'm more optimistic about not going down and a quarter final was a pipe dream before.

We've got a very decent team but not big enough for a real go for top 10. However, if Thelwall keeps building this team the way he is, I'm really looking forward to the next few years.

Onwards and upwards peeps.


10.) 02 Nov 2023 23:55:23
Indeed BR.

With our clubs very existence on the line, to continue to risk our better players, especially DCL, in this garbage (and soon to be disbanded) competition is both irresponsible and reprehensible.


11.) 03 Nov 2023 13:25:08
Plus I'd rather finish 16th and we got to a final than finish 15th and done fk all.


 

 

29 Oct 2023 20:01:39
Really proud of the team today and pat on the back for Dyche who again kept a strong attacking line up.

DCL is looking right back to his best and is showing how good he really is. His one two then touch and shot was pure quality and he's the reason I think we will be knowhere near the bottom three. In fact, now with Beto, Danju and Chermitti I'm more than hopeful of a top.10 finish.

One major point though, Dyche needs to be aware of his player fitness during games. Rhe reason we were under the cosh was because the legs had gone in Doucs, Garner, Dwight and Harrison. If he'd have made the changes to at least 2 of these we may have been more comfortable. I understand that making changes sometimes causes that cohesion to erode but they were dead in their feet.

Anyway, another 3 points and it's. onwards and upwards. 2 big home games in the cup and league but being it on boys!

So sad to hear of Bill's passing. For me, he was just another blue that loved my club. I had the good fortune to speak to him on a couple of occasions and it was no different to speaking to any of you. I even sat behind him a couple of times and he clapped and cheered like those in the Gwlady.

From my point of view he put a heart back in the club and saved it from extinction. I feel so sorry that he didn't have the chance to see us one last time. No-one is ever perfect and no-one ever gets it all right. Just glad he gave a damn when no-one else did.

I'm a more positive person and a glass half full type of veiw of things. It doesn't make me right and sometimes it clouds my judgement of things.

Same can be said of you and every other poster. Everyone has bias of their own point of view. And that is a very good thing. Because if you don't believe in what you think and say then what is the point in having a thought at all!

I can be rude and obnoxious sometimes and I recognise that but I'm a passionate guy about my club. But I don't know you or anyone else personally so in life I might think you're a cracking fella and enjoy a bevy with you.

It doesn't matter if we are a big club or small club. We are a club and each club is just as important as the other and should be given the the same consideration as the other. The fact Masters distinguishes between the two tells you a story of how he thinks and will act.

In terms of size, we are the 19th biggest in the world based on turnover, employ a considerable amount of people and have a huge responsibility to its community which we are extremely committed to.

We are investing 700m in a stadium that will create over 1b in revenue and investment for the city and have an impact on the wider area. It is creating 15000 jobs and see many more created by investment in the city. Plus it will regenerate and speed up investment in a run down area of Liverpool increasing the footprint by 30% of customer used space in the city centre.

This is the biggest investment in the UK right now in terms of scope and positive affected areas.

Not bad for a small club.

Martinez IMO is a very good manager. He went before he had chance to spend any real money. He'd gambled on putting all his eggs in one basket with Lukaku and had no money left to fill the rest of the squad with any real quality.

He was sacked when we were 11th in the league and the players still backed him. We were a poor fan base for a lot of these managers and were calling for heads to roll way before Moshiri dropped the axe. Even now there are still some wanting Dyche to go.

However, we are getting better and I hope it continues. Backing a manager and team is more than being a 12th man, we are an integral part of the success of the club.

It's not a financial error but the rules around what you can and can't do are open to interpretation. Its similar with the FCA.

The other problem in all this, just like the FCA, they have changed the rules AFTER the dates of our accounting period which didn't help our case but still held us to account under the new rules.

If the EPL had given us just a financial slap then we wouldn't be talking about compensation for other clubs which is also a headache for the EPL.

If the EPL were hoping to prove they don't need a regulator, I'm afraid they've proven completely the opposite.
