Everton Transfer Rumours

25 Sep 2026 22:43:57
It now seems spures are ready to cut their losses and sell Richarleson for a nominal fee in January, so, should we go back for him ?

25 Sep 2026 20:39:29
I hear there may be a budget signing of a left wing from City available soon, I think he is from Senegal.

No he can't play right back.

25 Sep 2026 22:33:20
Personally, I hope he enjoys playing in Cheshire league division two, don't think he will be getting his champions league career he left us for .

Hey Ed I keep reading that TFG could be about to sell Everton for between 800 million to £1 Billion, with Amanda Stavely being heavily linked with the purchase, have you heard anything mate.

{Ed001's Note - Staveley is fronting up a new consortium who are looking to buy an English team, they have been working on West Ham, but that has become difficult, so she is looking around at who else might be available. She is a dealmaker, the front of it all, rather than the person who does the buying. She will no doubt take a percentage of the shares, like she did with Newcastle, in return, but she is not the buyer.

Everton is certainly an option, but is little real potential for property development investment gains, which could be an issue, as that is often the way to improve the value of a club. You already have the stadium, but there is not much they can buy around it to create a holistic package to gain revenue from. It is brand new, so they can't even redevelop what you do have. So I would think it unlikely to be the club they go for.}

25 Sep 2026 15:37:23
Also read as HD is not up to a full events program yet, that it will effect any purchase price.

25 Sep 2026 15:20:44
Thanks for the info Ed mate.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

24 Sep 2026 12:02:06
If TFG were to sell EFC for one billion, what sought of profit would they walk away with.?
I know this can only be a rough estimate, but for those that see only the amount they have put in, it may impact there uncritical view of the Frikins motives.

24 Sep 2026 16:13:36
Well the club is on a much better footing than when they bought it so would imagine anywhere between 3 to 4 hundred million.
I was wondering if they have been caught out by this two clubs in Europe issue and didn't realise it could be a problem going forward. Or maybe they are just very good businessmen who realise an opportunity when they see it.

24 Sep 2026 20:18:16
Here we go again! It's not about the amount they have put it that us 'uncritical' fans are bothered about. In previous posts, you have made out they only bought us to make a quick buck so people have replied with how much they have spent thus far.

Some of us can see how far we have come since they took over from FM. Remember him and how close we sailed to relegation and financial ruin? Did you prefer that? TFG have put in solid foundations to keep the club solvent and competitive in the short term. One of the major problems they have is the financial rules that govern every club, they are not allowed to go out and splash millions on players just to appease the fan base.

Maybe if those 'critical' fans could look at the bigger picture, then we wouldn't be having the same discussion on this forum every other day!

24 Sep 2026 22:20:49
It needed someone to put us on a good financial footing. If they now want to sell so be it. The most important issue for us is that we don't get another Moshiri type of owner. We need good business people who can improve us each season both from a financial and footballing viewpoint.

25 Sep 2026 08:09:39
The lad was just asking a simple question, it is after all a debating site.

25 Sep 2026 16:00:31
And he got a simple answer, BB. You're right, it is a debating site yet he rarely replies once people try and debate him. It's the same rinse and repeat posts, if it's not the board it is the manager. If it's not the manager it is one of the players. Last time I checked, we were undefeated thus far, the club is more financially stable than it has been for a good few years and we seem to be moving in the right direction.

There is more to be happy about than what there is to moan about yet some of these posts AB puts out there are baffling, almost as if he enjoys causing division within the forum. I never called him names and my reply was quite civil, I really don't see the problem? As you say, the site is for debating and that's all I was doing.

25 Sep 2026 16:11:15
I'm with you on that BP mate.

25 Sep 2026 19:22:48
Fair enough BP.

23 Sep 2026 23:09:21
I know it's not front and center of our concerns, but is there any likely hood of a verdict in the appeal against that grossly unfair 30mill charge, awarded to Burnley. I recall that at the time we were told it would not impact on the transfer budget, am not convinced that this payment has not had a significant effect on our problems in the window, and that a successful appeal, would help in the January window.

24 Sep 2026 20:29:03
They put that in themselves, the thing that affected our transfer budget was the new financial rules. Once the cycle of finance includes the new stadium, and the cash that it makes, we will be in a better position again.

23 Sep 2026 14:50:09
Arsenal are prepared to loan out Max Dowman, we've got to grab him asap!

23 Sep 2026 15:37:38
Why would they?

23 Sep 2026 17:36:59
What he needs is regular top flight football, Arsenal can't offer him that, we can.

23 Sep 2026 19:23:42
He a position we have cover in

Think we should be looking at a striker myself.

23 Sep 2026 20:03:48
Defo BR.

24 Sep 2026 16:03:03
So bring Dowman in and stop the progression of Dibling and Johnson? We don't need anymore wingers.

24 Sep 2026 18:23:48
Or whingers for that matter ;-) (not saying dowman is of that nature) just a lot on here lol.

24 Sep 2026 20:30:49
We don't give much game time to our own kids, I can't see us loaning a 16/17 year old from another club as they won't get a game. It will also, as already pointed out, stifle the progression of those younger players that have started tonget game time. Non starter this I think mate.

23 Sep 2026 07:45:17
I know it's a couple of months away, but we now we need a striker and a left back, but who do you think we may be looking at, as a striker i'm Clueless, we can all pick out the stars but we need players who will come to us, now that's another issue, I suppose the higher we are in the league come Christmas may just help us get a certain category of player to join us, also how much money will we have, if the owner want investment or even selling up are they going to throw million into the club.


I noticed Matty cash didn't start for villa last game, what do you recon on a cheeky bid for him, certain adds more attacking threat not the youngest but offers more going forward than what we have.

23 Sep 2026 08:50:07
Sorry early in the morning posting, started off left back then started think right back, obviously cash is a right back, but I don't see AMN as a right back he's done well and can be used as cover but see him more as a defensive midfielder, i like da Silver from Coventry, doesn't score many but he can attack and cause a lot more problems than mko, will try and work out my left from my right going forwrd.

23 Sep 2026 12:01:03
Defo aStriker even two hopefully Barry has improved but not convinced he will be our main striker maybe we look for another gem from a lower division like we found Hackney.

24 Sep 2026 01:26:12
Ivan Tony, if we can meet his wages.

24 Sep 2026 22:10:49
The guy doesn't like our club or our fan base AB. I'm pretty sure he's reported racial abuse when playing against us but not many other teams. I doubt he will touch us with a barge pole

I'd like us to be looking for someone who wants to play for the club so we don't get another Balogun debacle.

25 Sep 2026 20:24:31
Personally, I couldn't care less who comes in and who suffers, if the overall outcome is an improvement on the football pitch and Dowman would certainly bring that.

He isn't even a winger, he is a no10.

The worry should be that a 16 year old kid can come in and stifle the progression of players in their 20's.

Won't happen though. Not a chance he is loaned out.

22 Sep 2026 11:49:00
Reading an article about garnacho struggles at villa.
Wondered what peoples thoughts are on if he became available next summer for say 20 million plus add on's would anyone take him?! He has bags of talent but i'm not sure if he has a bad attitude or just bad luck / maybe a European league may suit him better?

22 Sep 2026 13:19:27
Not a chance, he's one of the worst players I've seen. He needs to drop the whole i'm a superstar look and concentrate of becoming an average at best player.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Pasty..

22 Sep 2026 13:44:38
I don't actually rate him. He'd be expensive and on big wages. I'd rather progress George and Dibling myself.

{Ed025's Note - im with you JB..

22 Sep 2026 15:12:40
Garnacho must be bad if even manu didn't want him.

22 Sep 2026 18:05:30
We have enough wingers.

22 Sep 2026 21:23:31
I was shocked Chelsea bought him and gobsmacked Villa spent that anything on him. Even as a free on low wage Iwouldnt take him due to his attitude. Not worth one good goal a season.

24 Sep 2026 18:25:19
Fair enough chaps, i'm taking this as a maybe then? ;-)
Seriously i think he's talented but yeah not for efc!

21 Sep 2026 12:10:01
Reading that TFG would accept between £800 million and £1 billion for the sale of the Club if they were to sell it, the article says poor transport links and a stadium that's not up to running events to its maximum could potentially lower any buy out price,

21 Sep 2026 14:39:49
Has the club explored using the river for transporting fans?

21 Sep 2026 14:55:44
More speculation from a person well known to us!
The Friedkin group have done a good job of getting the finances of the club sorted out. They made a mistake in appointing Kinnear CEO in my opinion and it would be nice to see them attending some games.

But a change in ownership is not what we want at the moment. Some minor stake would be OK.
What we don't want is another Moshiri.

21 Sep 2026 14:58:55
Wouldn't have a clue mate, it's in the article saying the transport links aren't good an would effect the purchase price.

21 Sep 2026 15:30:09
The fact they wanted to sell Armstrong, specifically because they don't watch our games or keep up to date with them, and assumed he wasn't an important player, says a lot.

What next? "Well Pickford played a lot of games apparently but we noticed he's over 30 and doesn't score any goals so we think this £10m bid from Spurs is a fantastic offer".

I appreciate them sorting out finances, but they clearly have very little interest in the football side of things.

21 Sep 2026 18:16:56
You do realise football is abusiness and has ro generate money, how do you think Brighton, Bournemouth ect operate, we aren't in a situation where we can just spend spend and keep spending, we have to sell, if we start getting in to Europe ect we may not need to, but at the moment we are a million miles away from this, obviously someone had to go, please tell me what teams outside the top 6 who cannot do this.

21 Sep 2026 18:41:51
They appointed Kinnear to manage the football side of things, mainly because he has experience with Arsenal and West Ham. at managing the transition into a new stadium and maximizing the profit from that. He has obviously not every good at the recruitment of players as shown at both Leeds and us.

21 Sep 2026 21:02:44
I don't think TFG are that involved with the running of the club at all. They have left it all down to Kinnear and his cronies. They follow their instruction but I feel they execute the day to day running of the club.

22 Sep 2026 16:42:53
It was speculation by that numpty again GB, stop reading that crap.

19 Sep 2026 17:23:02
Seems today we have moved on from Dibling to Johnson. Wonder who will be next?

19 Sep 2026 17:28:25
Dibling should of started today, did well in the week and showed again today he's now ready for a run in the team, will do his confidence a lot of good.

19 Sep 2026 20:35:16
He's got to start the next game. Give the kid a chance to get some minutes under his belt, learn from playing regularly.

I was on the fence about him but this season he's showed there's a talent in there.

Be interesting to see how he does against top level full backs but it's a good foundation to build on.

I would drop Johnson, use him as an impact player and start Diblibg. Basically swap roles.

That's the beauty of competition for places.

Johnson will need to improve if he wants his spot back.

20 Sep 2026 12:45:09
I was one of his biggest critics last season but fair play, he's absolutely sat me down on that. Watching him on Wednesday night was a real eye opener and that recovery tackle after sprinting half the pitch was a huge moment and had the crowd on their feet. Happy to be wrong and made up for the young lad.

20 Sep 2026 13:15:09
I am in the same boat Ace. I've not been his biggest fan but felt he has really stepped up this season (so far) . Thought his cross for KDH's header yesterday was pinpoint - shame the header wasn't on target or he'd have had an assist for sure.

Really hope he can get a few goals this season and set up some others.

20 Sep 2026 21:23:15
He's a young man who has bags of quality and just needs time to settle. I had people taking the mick when I said he was like a young Grealish, but stick by that. As I said at the time watch Grealish early years at Villa. The lad is going to be class we just need to be patient.
