Everton Transfer Rumours

05 Nov 2026 23:29:41
I've been hearing a few things from my own sources about the Grealish situation, and if what I'm being told is accurate, there's quite a bit more to this than meets the eye.

Apparently, Grealish attended the Pride of Britain Awards before spending the following night out at a Cheshire pub with Jordan Pickford, Tyler Dibling and Kyle Walker. A few drinks were allegedly involved, and the suggestion is that he was then hungover and reported himself ill ahead of the Arsenal game.

Things then escalated when he apparently believed he had been given an extra day off, only to miss a scheduled training session and find himself in trouble with the club.

I'm also hearing there then had been a fallout with Moyes, who originally wasn't particularly keen on bringing Grealish back to Everton in the first place. The suggestion is that the move only happened because other transfer business failed to materialise.

Now, the whispers are that Moyes would actually like to terminate the loan in January, but Manchester City aren't keen on taking him back.

Obviously, I can't independently verify every detail, but this is what is being fed back to me by my sources.

If there's any truth in it, what an absolute mess!

We've got a player with bags of ability who should be making a difference on the pitch.

06 Nov 2026 07:42:42
Hope we can sort it out squad is paper thin. at the mo mate.

06 Nov 2026 08:19:30
Having a few pints 3weeks ago shouldn't affect your performance on the pitch so he should be playing tonight but looks like someone's having a paddy sort of thing ferguson of manu used to do the showing who's in charge tactics but it's the fans who lose out trying to get behind a weakened team so it's advantage coventry before a ball is kicked.

06 Nov 2026 08:38:33
Considering the club haven't put out any detailed explanation of why he is being left out, that is a massive stretch to come to that conclusion, TL.

Something has obviously gone on, and is being dealt with by the club, but the speculation doesn't help the player or the fans. It will all come out in the wash eventually, until then we are all just guessing. Or using it as a stuck to beat the manager with!

06 Nov 2026 09:01:44
When an outstanding talented player is in a "situation" like this, we deserve to know who is culpable and what on earth the true nature of the wrongdoing is.
Especially when the depth of the squad is this thin.

06 Nov 2026 09:41:52
He doesn't want him yet when fit plays every game, think what or who ever is telling you stuff sounds like he's miles off it,

06 Nov 2026 10:23:18
BR, why do we deserve to know? It could be highly personal and sensitive for all we know, should that be plastered all over the rags? Footballers have the same rights to protect their personal life as well. As long as the club is dealing with the situation then that's all we need to know at this stage.

If it is a very serious incident then he will be back at City before too long. If not, he serves whatever punishment the club hands out and then he will be integrated back into the squad at some point.

06 Nov 2026 11:03:59
If this is way too delicate, personal, etc., this can be kept behind closed doors by way of a club statement saying so.
If it isn't a delicate matter, then yes, I think we deserve to know. Why should we not know?

06 Nov 2026 14:11:19
The club have made a statement and don't really have any need to elaborate on it, mate. From what they have said, it seems like it is a major personal issue for the lad. As fans, we don't need to know every sordid detail right now.

As I said previously, it will come out eventually but, in the meantime, not having those details in the public domain will take a bit of pressure off the situation until he is back training either with us or at City.

{Ed025's Note - even professional football players can have problems BP, i seen someone on a forum saying he should be booed when he comes on for us but that to me is scandalous mate, these are people irrespective of how much they earn and i know some will not agree but i think we should cut him some slack myself even though i am disappointed of how things have gone lately..

06 Nov 2026 14:37:14
Yep bluepotato no need to get the dirty washing in public mate.

05 Nov 2026 00:32:53
Everton are eyeing Palmeiras' Brazilian striker Vitor Roque, 21, who is expected to have a price tag of around £42m. (Sport - in Spanish)

05 Nov 2026 14:00:46
See I am confused on seeing all of these rumors cause our current owners are out door and aren't going to put more investments into us. Like unless we get new owners by Jan we aren't making any Jan signings cause it hurts their profit on our sale.

So why are we seeing rumors of us looking at players and them thinking we are wanting to sign them?

05 Nov 2026 14:26:21
Agree Bob but it's in the papers that we're after him?

05 Nov 2026 16:09:34
Any sale isn't going to be completed by the end of the window. The Friedkins have stated they will continue to support the club and that funds will be available to build the squad in January, so that's why we're discussing who we've been linked with.
Hope that finally clears that up.

05 Nov 2026 16:54:32
That does clear up a bit but if that is the case we aren't signing Vitor Roque for £42m cause there is a difference between continuing to support the club and spending £42m on a player. We will probably bring in a loan or 2 and sign a player or 2 for cheap and say that is "building the squad".

I mean I have no faith that they are going to put actual money into the club when they were pretty much stripping assets last summer trying to sell Armstrong.

05 Nov 2026 17:35:21
I think it depends where we are in January.
Securing European football might make the club a more attractive proposition and so investment would be well advised.

05 Nov 2026 17:56:36
DM today "no we have no plans'
When asked if we were actively planning for the winter window.
FOR SALE.

05 Nov 2026 18:37:17
Hi FBS your back mate.

05 Nov 2026 20:58:37
Depending on 25/26 accounts we should have room for purchases in Jan and stay within the 105m 3 year cycle. Lot will depend on the Burnley compensation and how it's accountant for. There is no reason the owners wouldn't investment even if they are selling subject to ffp as a player purchase would go down as an asset and money invested goes down as equity thus improving the balance sheet and making the club worth more.


Also in the case of spending 42.5m on a player the amount needed to be covered in this year's accounts would be less than 10m.

06 Nov 2026 08:15:52
Lets not forget that they have obviously known they were selling us for a long time and they were willing to lay the money out in the summer for a forward so i think they will do so again in January.

06 Nov 2026 09:07:54
The latest available accounts suggest we're around £37m in the green heading into January.
That means a £42.5m signing is certainly possible, as the transfer fee would be spread over the length of the contract (let's say five years) , with wages of around £4m a year.
That would put the overall annual cost at roughly £12.5m, still leaving us around £24.5m in the green.

And this isn't money coming out of TFG's pockets, it's based on the club's own revenue, meaning our financial headroom remains regardless of whether they sell the club.

03 Nov 2026 21:46:03
Just read a story that we are leading premier league interest in Minnesota United striker Kelvin Yaboah nephew of the x Leeds striker Tony Yaboah . Anyone know if he’s any good or heard anything concrete on this one

03 Nov 2026 18:55:40
Hi, I’m an Everton fan from Spain—please excuse my ignorance and my poor English. We don’t get any news here about Everton’s youth setup, so I wanted to ask: is there any striker currently in the youth ranks who stands out enough to at least provide an alternative to—or put some pressure on—Barry?

03 Nov 2026 20:15:56
There's Braiden Graham but more doesn't seem to rate him enough to give him time up front. He preferred to try him in the wing in possession or midfield.

03 Nov 2026 22:03:26
Well Moyes only rates tall strikers like Barry. Graham is small so will not get a chance as striker. Moyes should watch videos of Alex Young!

03 Nov 2026 22:03:36
As BR says - Braiden Graham seems a very exciting prospect, but Moyes literally won't give him a minute.

Understand if he thinks he's not ready to start every week, but the fact he won't even give him a few minutes at the end of games like the cup match against Newcastle, means that I doubt we'll see him at all this season.

He's happy with Barry each week, and if he got injured, we'll see Johnson up front, and then maybe even Alcaraz.

04 Nov 2026 10:00:42
Id rather Barry up top as well. Braiden Graham will hopefully come good, he has plenty of promise. But do you really want to put him up against the biggest, strongest, fastest, best CB's in the Premier League? A league widely regarded as the best or toughest?

He's currently up against fellow teenagers and other youth who won't make the grade, massive difference. He should have 1-2 seasons on loan, and even then he needs to be ripping up those lower divisions to be considered good enough for the top.

Cannon, Simms are but 2 youth strikers that came before Graham. You'd have them back?

As someone said Johnson or Alcaraz would be next up top if Barry got injured and rightly so.

04 Nov 2026 22:28:46
Watch him in the first half for under 21s in a resent game, he has the lot, great first touch, real pace, and for one so young, reades the game very well.
I know he lacks physical statute, but their must be opertunists, late in games, when players are tiering, he could come on and see what he's got.

05 Nov 2026 20:12:57
Braiden Graham is not a striker so no. He's more a number of a number 10 but likes playing off the left. He played as a striker sometimes in the under 21's because he's simply our best player.

01 Nov 2026 18:28:17
If we lose Monday because Moyes has ignored the Team from 3-1 and gone back to Johnson etc! I hope TFG act quickly and already have someone in mind. Always supported Moyes but some of his pressers have been baffling of late.

01 Nov 2026 19:32:57
So you want him to play dibling again after being pretty much anonymous the whole game? Thursday is exactly why Moyes doesn't trust him to play! If you are referring to Hackney then I would agree completely that he has to start.

01 Nov 2026 19:41:26
Here we go again. When are people going to learn that players need games. And even if we wasn't the wonder player you expect him to be in one game, he was still better than Johnson.

01 Nov 2026 21:08:59
With you on That Richie Dibling won't start after his last game we have better players DM sees that.

01 Nov 2026 21:53:49
Johnson is not worth a start he offers nothing stick george there instead dibling is a player I think moyes has the brakes on him it's like he wants to go past players but reluctantly passes back to retain the ball so it's sideways n backwards passes he's been instructed to do.

01 Nov 2026 22:31:45
Careful TL talking sense doesn't go down well here.

02 Nov 2026 06:03:26
I wasn't saying play dibling, George on the right offers far more. What I was saying, is Moyes will play Johnson, Hackney will be on the bench, Moyes will ignore totally the 3-1 positives and go to Newcastle using negative tactics. If we had played like that at Dicky they would have beat us. Lose this and Moyes has to go.

02 Nov 2026 06:47:08
Hackney has to start he's a north east boy so will be determined to get a result over Newcastle being a boro lad but judging moyes interview saying he's not prem ready tells me he's dropping him to the bench our best line up would be put garner right back play Hackney in the middle with Harrison george on the right grealish on the left.

02 Nov 2026 07:43:25
DM walking a tightrope if he doesn't play Hackney after the last game dms, massive 3 points to be had tonight.

02 Nov 2026 10:23:20
He really isn't GB. It's only on here where he's 'walking a tight rope'. He's actually doing very well with what he has at his disposal. Away to Newcastle in the Premier League is a totally different ball game to Newcastle at home in the carabou cup.

There will 100% be changes to the team tonight and if Hackney doesn't play then he doesn't play. That single decision is definitely not going to cause any harm to his job.

02 Nov 2026 11:21:39
To say George offers far more is a bit of a stretch. He has scored 1 goal since he came in on loan and has had far more football than Dibling has. Just because he does the same shimmy and a little sprint, most seem to think he is a top winger. Still shown nothing to prove that yet for me.

I like the lad and he is positive but being effective is a completely different matter.

02 Nov 2026 11:24:02
We saw glimpses of what Dibling is capable of early in the season. Johnson has offered nothing really, a disappointing start. I'd be fine with Dibling staying in the team, but he also needs to take his chances. If we play Hackney, do we drop Garner who looked more like himself on Thursday, or Armstrong who's also looked tidy?

02 Nov 2026 16:04:24
I would definitely start Dibling, he needs a run and confident boost! Think he hasn't been given a fair chance!

{Ed025's Note - i dont think Dibbs has been very good Tomtom but surely he offers more than Johnson mate..

02 Nov 2026 16:24:25
Peter I read somewhere that for the Carabao cup game Newcastle only made 1 change from their line-up for previous premier game. It's not like we were playing their reserves or a league 1 side. This 'not prem ready' line doesn't really wash when he looks good every time he plays and most recently looked good against the very same opposition as tonight.

The fact it was in a cup competition does not suddenly make them not a prem team!

02 Nov 2026 17:05:02
It probably will be George and Johnson with Grealish's suspension we probably won't start him today.

02 Nov 2026 22:04:24
Well what do I know, mind you did say Ruhl had the pace. Barry is an awful player but that is 8 goals now.

{Ed025's Note - should be 20 DMS..

02 Nov 2026 22:58:48
Take the 8.

31 Oct 2026 22:57:06
A lot of talk of player incomings such as Rashford but none as good as Ndiaye who already looks comfortable at City, I can never understand the mentality of Everton to get get rid of our top players and usually replace them with lesser talent!
We look bang average and are doing well to be where we are in the league, but we need some fresh talent into the squad!

01 Nov 2026 08:00:01
Ndiaye wanted the move mate we didn't get rid, he chose to go.

01 Nov 2026 09:28:11
What's really worrying me is this insistence to do a deal with manu first zirkzee gods knows why now rashford truly baffling is it because manu are after Branthwaite and they keep chucking their crap hoping we'll get excited I swear if Branthwaite goes there he's finished the next Harry maguire and everton are weak to entertain manu forget ever winning a cup unless it's in the lower divisions.

01 Nov 2026 10:28:54
Rashford was very good on loan at Villa and at Barce last season. He improves our team. I'd be more concerned about him and Jack out on the town.

01 Nov 2026 15:17:57
We have fans crying out for better players but, when we get linked with those that would undoubtedly improve the squad and first team, it's 'don't want him' or 'he's sh*te'

Is Rashford better than what we've got? Yes. Does he improve the squad? Yes, he does. I really don't understand the mentality at times. Someone please explain why Rashford shouldn't be brought in, if the rumour is to be believed.

01 Nov 2026 15:53:53
Rashford for £380000 per week is the most waste of money in the league for £ 380000 per week the player should be banging in 30 odd goals a season don't think he's got one he's manus problem leave him there.

{Ed025's Note - im with you TL, a sulky big shot who thinks hes miles better than he actually is mate, if he played for free i wouldn,t want him..

01 Nov 2026 16:18:10
Had his day, and far too expensive let him stay with Man U, they deserve each other.

01 Nov 2026 17:50:36
Just take a look at united and he was sat in the bench, that's should tell you all you need to no, and why is he better than what we have, i don't personally think he is.

01 Nov 2026 18:39:25
Nor do I mate.

01 Nov 2026 19:53:52
Good replies, gents. I don't think, however, we will be paying over 300k per week for him, we just can't afford that so there will be a compromise on his wages. I'm assuming it will be a loan deal rather than a transfer.

I get that he is on the bench for United but he had decent loan spells at Villa and Barca. If he's good enough for them then surely he is good enough for us?

BP, why do I think he's good enough for us? The lad can play across the entire front line which would suit us as we have a very thin squad, a few injuries to our attackers and we are in a bit of trouble. At CF, nobody on here can say that he is not better than Barry. The latter may have potential but his lack of clinical finishing is, and has, cost us points so far this season. That will continue until the summer without a doubt.

Ed25, I think he also has a lot to prove and a move away from Utd, albeit on loan, could reignite something in him. He would also be close to home which could help. I just think we have to look at players like him, those who have fallen to the wayside a little and need a fresh start. He is experienced and could help our cause considerably, imo.

He definitely improves both the squad and the first team and isn't that what we all really want? Especially if it is a loan deal, we can't really lose, it is a gamble that could be worth taking.

Cheers gents, good to hear the process behind the thinking of your own opinions, whether they align with mine or not.

{Ed025's Note - i have no problem with loans BP but i want them to be the right ones mate, i would like loanees who are trying to prove a point rather than just turning up for the money and i dont think Marcus fits into that category, i also think the money would be a problem but i could be wrong..

01 Nov 2026 21:59:20
So the compromise would be Branthwaite going to manu complete waste of time I wouldn't want to start weakening the defence to feed manu another one of our young star players rashford doesn't come close to the value to everton football club as Branthwaite rashy us another sancho overpaid waster.

01 Nov 2026 22:34:24
So apparently we are losing around a million a week so why would we entertain taking on Rashford when we're already paying the lush a fortune.

02 Nov 2026 07:26:46
I get that ed25, but I do think he has a lot to prove right now. Especially since he hasn't had much game time and is obviously surplus to requirements at Utd.

BMD, there isn't a chance that we would be paying his entire wage, 300k+ is well above our budget. If he came on loan then his club would subsidise part of that, as happens with a lot of loan deals across the league.

TL, that's just an assumption mate. There is nothing to say that, because we could take one of their players on loan, we will sell them JB. For a start, the lad has to want to go to them and, let's be honest, that club is in turmoil right now. They are not the attraction they once we're.

My point is that Rashford would walk into the side up top as he is miles better than Barry and the majority of us don't think the latter is good enough to lead our line. If the finances are right for us then it's better than facing the rest of the season with Barry not getting any competition for his place.

02 Nov 2026 16:58:44
It'd are skint bp can't see them wanting to pay anything. Also Rashford doesn't strike me as a striker who will chase lost causes and try and close players down on his own.

31 Oct 2026 20:37:15
Kelvin Yeboah being linked with us any info on this guy BN mate?

01 Nov 2026 21:05:33
I don't sorry GB. I don't ever watch the MLS mate.

31 Oct 2026 09:59:06
Watched Sheffield united vs Wrexham on sky last night and one player I was impressed with was the Sheffield united winger Romelle Donavon only 20 a winger and Jesus he doesn't stop running, he caused so many problems for there defence, he's the type of player we should be looking at and not some one like Rashford.

31 Oct 2026 12:53:58
That's the problem with majority of prem players you can't motivate millionaires reason the Premier League is shocking and boring to watch.

30 Oct 2026 14:53:01
Links to Ait-Nouri. Now there is a signing I could get behind.

30 Oct 2026 16:30:20
He was class at Wolves.

30 Oct 2026 16:55:15
Yeah that would be a class signing.

30 Oct 2026 13:19:41
Everton working on Marcus Rashford loan-to-buy deal with 'wage cost shared'
Better than what we have but who knows what is the best way forward personally I would like to look for another forward even if this one could be pulled off what say my fellow Evertonians.

30 Oct 2026 14:08:37
Not for me mate would prefer Richy.

30 Oct 2026 14:29:45
Hed be awesome. Bet he wants a bigger and better club but utterly awesome.

30 Oct 2026 15:25:24
Defo a big no on rashford I hope we never do any business with manu a toxic club with toxic players a clown owner and over a billion pound in dept if rashfords not good enough for manu he's not good enough for everton football club.

30 Oct 2026 16:02:29
Absolute waste of space.
