Everton Transfer Rumours

20 Aug 2026 12:38:34
Whispers this morning of a deal in principle now being agreed with Chelsea for the loan of striker Liam Delap… also Blues still confident of signing Grealish whilst a strong interest from Moyes also remains in Rico Lewis.

20 Aug 2026 12:52:37
Good stuff, Elvis, keep it coming, mate, all three would be great.

20 Aug 2026 11:29:15
A few rumours going round that we have agreed to loan Delap from Chelsea. I think it's just rumours at the moment, but I would not be surprised. He just strikes me as exactly the type of striker Moyes likes.

Personally, given the choice I would be in the Nicholas Jackson camp, but I will support any players that pull on our famous blue jersey. I guess time will tell.

20 Aug 2026 12:02:08
Listen to the Angus Kinnear interview, mate, it's not only DM who gets a say on who comes in.

20 Aug 2026 12:18:33
He's absolutely a DM striker. One that can't find the back of the net.

In his first 11 years, he had 2 players that were decent strikers. Yakubu, who scored 14 or 15 goals in a season, and Louis Saha, who got 13.

No one scored above 11 goals, and there were seasons we didn't have anyone in double figures in the other 9 seasons.

Aside from that, we had to wait for him to leave for us to get a proper skriker in Lukaku. Fingers crossed!

20 Aug 2026 12:24:01
Yea, Moyes' track record for strikers is crap, he just loves giant centrebacks. He even started playing David Unsworth in midfield for a bit, squeezes them in anywhere.

20 Aug 2026 10:32:06
Morning all hope we are all good and gearing up for the match Saturday ed 025 hope you are well as well mate just wondering there's few rumours online saying we have agreed to sign delap on loan from Chelsea does yourself or any of the other eds have any info or know anything behind the scenes

{Ed025's Note - nothing concrete on this one Andy at the moment, i know Moyes is a fan of his but its all speculation at the moment mate..

20 Aug 2026 11:56:23
No worries mate, just spoke to a family member who is a Chelsea fan and, according to him, he's had the number 9 shirt taken from him for Joao Pedro and he's also been banished into the under 21s.

Whether that's true or not I'm not sure, he also knows a few people in the Chelsea camp and apparently Delap wants to join us. Just passing on what I have heard like.

{Ed025's Note - he is training away from the first team squad at the moment Andy and yes he has lost the No9 jersey to Pedro who was formerly No20 mate, it does look like he is surplus to requirement going by that..

20 Aug 2026 12:01:08
This was reported on SSN yesterday. No.9 has gone to Juao Pedro, Delap has the No.12 shirt.

20 Aug 2026 12:33:33
Hope we get him, especially if it's a loan move.

20 Aug 2026 09:43:32
Everton have contacted Arsenal regarding Gabriel Jesus.

Sorry but not for me.

20 Aug 2026 12:03:19
Who is for you, mate.

20 Aug 2026 12:23:18
Rather Jesus than Delap.

20 Aug 2026 12:45:08
Guess it's in de lap of the gods, CharlieBlue 🫣🤣🤷‍♂️.... I personally think Delap will flourish for us, but we will see. 👍

20 Aug 2026 12:49:08
Jesus' attitude is completely wrong for the team. He's a petulant little s*** and we don't need him.

{Ed025's Note - well past his sell by date for me Brass..

19 Aug 2026 18:32:45
So Kinnear has confirmed that the owners TFG see last season for us as an abject failure mostly due to the form of the team towards the latter half of the season and they're failure to qualify for Europe hmm I think if things go tits up for Moyes at the start of this season, he'll be gone by Christmas!

19 Aug 2026 19:36:54
He also said that injuries to key players JB and Jack were also to blame, as AFCON also caused problems. Kinnear actually praised DM.

19 Aug 2026 20:42:01
People can blame the manager (and I agree he is part to blame) , but the biggest reason we didn't qualify for Europe is their reluctance to move in the January market and specifically, getting a RB in.

This could have been done in Jan with ease.

19 Aug 2026 21:27:03
Agree 💯 with that, BlueNose.

Could Moyes do more with tactics in my eyes... Yes.
Could the players have done better... Yes.
But not having an actual right back is awful and must make life so hard.

Hopefully there is a little more trust that players can do more from the bench and we can impact games before the players are run ragged.

19 Aug 2026 22:14:36
Like Kinnear said though, it's a project, and there is a lot to look forward to.

I've been comparing us to the likes of Bournemouth, Sunderland, Coventry. But what was said in that interview makes sense, and gave me a different perspective. We could definitely do that with the finances we have right now, but we'd rather build sustainably, and do a proper job, so the success isn't short lived.

Many a team have made the mistake of throwing silly money at proven superstars who are getting towards the end of their career, good for a few seasons, but then what do you do when they leave for next to nothing? Can't re-invest, if you haven't made anything in the first place.

19 Aug 2026 23:34:42
The club are looking to progress and be successful in a sustainable way.
In year one we've seen a new stadium, improved financial standing and commercial partnerships, and investment in the squad.
This looks set to continue in the second year.
Don't believe all the hype, we're moving in the right direction.

20 Aug 2026 07:50:37
Of course are mate.

20 Aug 2026 08:19:17
I'm of the opinion that we need a better manager. But only replace him with someone who would do better. We all can't agree on this - it's football. But we all want better.
It's why we want new players in, why we needed a better stadium, why we change the recruitment team, why Kinnear calls out poor performance.

So if Moyes has to go by Christmas, so we can move up a gear, then why not? Oh, and I'd like entertaining football too.
But for now we have games to win, so I'm fully behind them all for the three points on Saturday.
COYB.

20 Aug 2026 12:20:40
ST, Welsh & JB, you are all spot on and I don't disagree with what you've said, but your points aren't mutually exclusive to the situation on the pitch.

We could and should have easily got a RB in the January window, and that would more than likely have gotten us the 5pts we needed to get into Europe.



Not only would that have given the fans something back for their unwavering support, but it would have made us more relevant across the footballing landscape. Not to mention, recruitment would have been easier, as money and European football are 2 huge factors for players when deciding which move to make these days.

20 Aug 2026 12:53:10
We had a right back sitting on the bench. It was Moyes' choice not to use him. And, it's also been shown in friendlies this season that Rohl could have done a better job there than Job, but Moyes didn't pick him either.

19 Aug 2026 12:33:01
Talk of Marty Cash now and figures of £20m
My God, why don’t we just pay the fee for Guela Doue and be sorted longer term?

19 Aug 2026 13:00:02
Good player, walks into our first team, Villa desperately short though, so can't see this one happening.

19 Aug 2026 14:14:45
Apparently Wan Bissaka joining Villa.

19 Aug 2026 19:18:42
Interesting, I think Cash is a better player than WB.

{Ed025's Note - i think he is better going forward Brass but not as good a defender..

20 Aug 2026 12:56:03
Ed i'm bored with this defend at all costs attitude. Get Aznou and Ndiaye on the left and a wing back and either George or Dibling on the right and go at teams, especially when playing at home.
I do not want to sit through another season of hoofball mate.

{Ed025's Note - nor me Brass, but i believe we have a better squad this season and with possibly more to come there will be no excuses mate, lets just wait and see how things pan out before we decide how good or bad things are i say..

18 Aug 2026 14:42:14
Reading the Munoz deal will be done this week.

18 Aug 2026 15:02:29
Everton holding 'serious' Daniel Munoz talks - 'It must be done this week..' looks like you must be right, Pal.

18 Aug 2026 15:19:20
Hope so. He seems to be a very good player. Need to get those done.

18 Aug 2026 16:56:47
Yeah, shame it wasn't done sooner, but perhaps the fact we are playing Palace this weekend was a factor. He's a quality, Premier League proven right back. Would be a top signing.

18 Aug 2026 18:03:32
Even though we are playing Palace, why would they risk playing him against us in case of injury, and, knowing Moysey, he wouldn't play him 1st game anyway.

18 Aug 2026 19:20:05
Maybe not even the 1st season, Moggsie.

18 Aug 2026 19:32:47
I think we are trying to save a few quid and let them bring him up to us when they come for the season opener. 😳

18 Aug 2026 20:09:48
If they have signed a replacement, he wouldn't play anyway.

18 Aug 2026 21:34:18
I think it would be more about not wanting him playing for us against them than him playing for them.

18 Aug 2026 14:27:45
Kinnear's quote -

"We will sign an RB but not in time for Palace."

Maybe an agreement between us and Palace that the deal can go ahead for Munoz after we have played them.

18 Aug 2026 15:46:17
I was just about to write the same thing, so it looks like it’s Munoz then, and yeh it makes sense that Palace won’t let go of him until after the first match. Hopefully this is true and Kinnear has quoted that they don’t want to just go down the list and sign someone else, we are prepared to wait for our number one target.

Interesting. I will be buzzing if it is Munoz.

On another quote by Kinnear, TFG classed last season as a failure, which is a big statement.

Sounds like Moyes is already on thin ice before the season starts.

18 Aug 2026 16:45:12
And so he should be. Last quarter of the season, we seriously underperformed, a time when we need to push harder, show something different. We should have sent Spurs down. And now, because we didn’t, they’re asking premium of £40 mill for Richarlison, whereas if they were relegated he’d be half that amount.


So Moyes has cost Everton millions in prize money and possibly millions in transfer fees too.
So I don’t blame TFG one bit for not being happy right now.

18 Aug 2026 17:05:02
Or, Kinnear and TFG should have pulled their fingers out and got a right back and a striker in January and we’d have finished stronger?

18 Aug 2026 18:21:11
Moyes wouldn't have played them till April anyway.

18 Aug 2026 19:22:02
Moyes cost Everton millions in prize money and millions in transfer money 😂 ffs. Nothing to do with the crooked VAR shouts that they have come out and already said were errors on their part (West Ham and City to name a few) .

Nothing to do with not having his best players available, JB, JG or AFCON wasn't a thing, tiring out another one of our better players in. It was all David Moyes' fault, the whole lot of it.

18 Aug 2026 19:34:57
And the players still could have performed better on the pitch as well, I believe KDH even said so or along those lines.
We move forward and go again.

18 Aug 2026 20:39:15
Moyes over performed for three quarters of the season. He didn't underperform at all. Why do people on here think we should have challenged for Europe after 5 years of constantly battling relegation? It was because of Moyes that we were able to bring in KDH and Jack whilst getting more out of Jimmy than any other manager since he signed.

You lot really need to get over the fact that he went to Man Utd. If he hadn't gone I would have seriously questioned his ambition and ability as a top manager.

19 Aug 2026 10:04:25
It definitely helps to actually watch Kinear's interview before quiping the old DM tropes. It's a very candid yet measured interview. And nobody sticks out for extra abuse. It's a collective from owner to player. Refreshing to hear the club isn't following FM knee jerk choices mirroring of fans' displeasure.

Clearly another 12 months before all our financial difficulties are firmly in the rear view mirror and clarification that every penny of profit goes back to the club. The next 3 seasons are gonna be progressively more exciting. Hope you all make it.
It's definitely a positive interview.

18 Aug 2026 13:57:38
Another day, another right back.
What Everton are waiting for as contact made for Lutsharel Geertruida.

18 Aug 2026 12:41:37
What we know as Everton eye move for Burnley's Zian Flemming.
Bluenose opium shots. Do you know anything about this player? I have no idea. Is he just more potential or is he just trending?

18 Aug 2026 13:08:17
Moyes was at the game on Sunday, checking him out. Doesn't mean anything, though.

18 Aug 2026 15:32:30
Not buying potential TB Flemming is 28 so in his prime. Better than what we have, but that isn't hard. Not worth more than £20 mill for me though.

18 Aug 2026 22:52:07
Have only watched him a couple of times and would say he is a slight upgrade on our two. But if we really want to progress then we need to aim higher than this. And before you ask, no I don't know who, that's for the club to decide.
