Everton Transfer Rumours

30 Jul 2026 19:02:45
So we are looking to sign a Gana replacement and are still looking. Brentford let Henderson leave mutually and then today go out and buy a defensive midfielder Mamadou Sangare for £41 million. No haggling over s*** deposits with terms over payments, they just pay what the club valued him.

Just putting it out to more with a bit more nous on transfers, Blues. Is this the same Mamadou Sangare from Lens we have watched for almost 2 years without making an approach or was it another Sangare.

Links to young CB Taras Mykhavko, a compatriot of Mykolenko's.

Never seen the lad play but appears to be a no-nonsense defender. Looks to have a bit of pace about him and seems to time his tackles very well, be that going to ground or not.

Only 21, left-footed and looks to be a replacement for Tarks given his ability to put his body on the line with blocks.

A signing I could get behind tbh, as I am not comfortable with going into the season with Tarkowski and Keane as starters (JB fitness still questionable) .

30 Jul 2026 13:05:01
That’s settled then Ndiaye is staying at Everton, his Dad says he’s going nowhere according to reports, once again paper xxxx.

30 Jul 2026 14:06:06
Doesn't say that I don't think. It says he's not going to SA so might he be going elsewhere?
I reckon Manure.

30 Jul 2026 18:42:09
My dad said I wasn't going to London so I went. Let's hear this from the player, then I might believe it. Looks like his mate Gana is on his way over there, so would not be surprised if he followed.

30 Jul 2026 10:46:42
Talks ongoing between Man City and us for the transfer of Jack Grealish, Al Halil want him as well, but Jack has told those closest to him that he prefers to stay here in UK and wants to join Everton instead despite the much higher wages on offer to him in the Saudi league. Hopefully this one will cross the line.

30 Jul 2026 11:19:53
This will cross the line.

30 Jul 2026 11:23:32
Let us know when he has left the building.

30 Jul 2026 12:12:21
Thanks for the info, Elvis, hope we get him back.

30 Jul 2026 17:37:43
If he gets a chance at City he won't be coming back to us.

30 Jul 2026 18:11:04
He isn't getting a chance at City.

Doku, Foden, Cherki, Semenyo can all play that position.

I still think he would choose us anyway. He has done the City gig. He loves it at us because he realises that the fans and the club as a whole is different, even if we are s*** on the pitch.

30 Jul 2026 18:30:14
He has won trophy after trophy. He has all the money he needs, so hopefully he will return to us and just play football for the love he feels for the club.

30 Jul 2026 18:45:38
Well, it will be interesting to see just how much "love" he has for the club when all this pans out.

30 Jul 2026 20:29:53
Grealish has paid for a player box at the Hill Dickinson for the next 3 years according to the site guides when taking the official site tour.

30 Jul 2026 08:11:17
Roma after an attacking rb in Givairo Read, we are after some cheap options from Celtic, says it all. Don't Roma already have 2 rightbacks?

30 Jul 2026 11:24:58
Says nothing except we have no clue what discussions and/or negotiations are going on.

30 Jul 2026 12:12:12
It says to me that Roma are more proactive. We've only needed a rb for 4 years.

30 Jul 2026 12:51:48
I hope they get him.

We can then ask for Devyne Rensch or Wesley, who are both better players and who we should have got 18 months ago.

30 Jul 2026 08:04:52
The bobble reports we are working on a deal to bring Jack back.

30 Jul 2026 09:12:45
Harrison, do you mean. 😂😂😂😂

30 Jul 2026 09:25:22
Nope, Grealish! Unlike you, GB, to be taking a negative spin, I presume you were being hilarious. I will remind myself to have a hearty chuckle later.
Bobble is also reporting that we are in talks for the Celtic right back Johnson from Canada.

Can't remember much about him from the W Cup, but if he signs I'll be right behind him and the team.
UTFT COYB.

30 Jul 2026 10:09:58
Learn to have a chuckle, Big C.

30 Jul 2026 10:11:39
Amen, Big C..

30 Jul 2026 10:39:48
Throw in a striker and it's strengthening the squad.

Not sure about Johnson - could be another Myko, but must be better than playing a CB at RB or sticking Garner there when he's better placed in midfield.

30 Jul 2026 11:07:35
Rohl?

30 Jul 2026 11:09:47
If he is another Myko, then fair enough (better than Patterson) , but he isn't just another name thrown out there.

30 Jul 2026 11:52:00
Not sure what Rohl's best position is. He's got an abundance of energy and could be developed into an RB, but it'll take time.

{Ed025's Note - i think hes very versatile BR, he could do a job at right back im sure mate..

30 Jul 2026 12:26:05
Tried to lighten a few on here up, mate.

30 Jul 2026 12:53:42
Under no circumstances do we want another Myko.

Thankfully the lad offers more attacking threat. His delivery is quite good and he absolutely lives for an overlapping run. He has some very clever movement, tbf to him, although I am not so sure it would work on the PL defenders.

Definitely an upgrade on what we have, but we can certainly do better.

30 Jul 2026 01:16:07
Links to Tomiyasu.

Can't believe the bloke is still only 27. Had a torrid time of it with injuries. If we could get 30 games a season out of him, I would take him all day.

30 Jul 2026 08:10:10
Another Mina situation?

30 Jul 2026 11:11:28
If!!, but why take the risk.

30 Jul 2026 12:54:20
Can't argue, Dms. Feel sorry for the lad, as he seems like an honest pro who gives his all.

29 Jul 2026 19:56:40
Reports coming out that the club are putting a deal together for Grealish. Hope this tattle is truer than the rest of it.

29 Jul 2026 21:18:14
With you on that vital player for us, mate.

29 Jul 2026 21:19:57
And the Celtic RB, I've no idea what he is like.

30 Jul 2026 07:57:03
The Celtic rb Johnson is no better than Patterson in my opinion.

30 Jul 2026 13:54:49
I watched him play for Canada in the World Cup, and he stood out for me, he won nearly everything chucked at him, im glad we are going for him, seems an Everton type of player if it happens, but I still think we are after the City lad and just waiting to see if he's in the City plans for the season or he can be loaned out, watch this space, surely you cannot leave it this late without some sort of plan.

29 Jul 2026 13:18:18
Jack Grealish has been left out of Man City's squad for their preseason tour. Should we read anything into that?

29 Jul 2026 13:35:06
That City don't rate him and he is surplus to requirement..

29 Jul 2026 13:43:37
He's still not recovered from injury. Think we need to be looking elsewhere.

29 Jul 2026 14:25:16
I agree, Dev. Can only assume the fee would be similar to last year. We can put that money to better use.

29 Jul 2026 14:42:32
Really hope we get him back, important player for us.

29 Jul 2026 14:54:43
From what im reading, new City manager has worked with him before, and is a lot more keen on him than Pep, loves his attitude and has no immediate plans to move him on, and it sounds like Grealish is very happy to be in amongst it at City again tbh. I don't think this one comes back our way this season.

29 Jul 2026 16:59:35
They are interesting comments from Maresca how he likes to work with all players contracted to the club. This comes from the manager, who, while at Chelsea, sent numerous players to train on their own.

29 Jul 2026 17:41:14
BD, I thought he was back in training with City in all honesty.

If we did go back for him, I think it would be a loan deal with a set fee to be paid next year. Very similar deal to the one we made with them for Barry, a good few years ago. The good Barry, not the clown we have up top right now!

I think the new City manager has been pretty cryptic when asked the question.

He hasn't come out and said he either wants him to stay or is prepared to let him leave. That's why I asked the question in the first place. Does it mean he is on his way out of City this summer? If so, I'd take him back all day long.

29 Jul 2026 18:29:48
I think he's doing rehab training still, not full on training. Probably, still be better than what we have, just not sure on the money side, we have so many positions to fill.

29 Jul 2026 18:53:06
He's supposed to have signed for someone else, or close to, on a wage we can't match. Don't know who, but he's not likely to be coming to us by all accounts. Hope it's not true.

29 Jul 2026 19:29:08
Not heard that.

29 Jul 2026 20:32:28
If the deal is there, sign it.
Technically, mentally, football brain and hard working better than most players out there.

30 Jul 2026 07:36:01
He's in the last 12 months of his contract, next year he's free. Any loan fee will just be a financial workaround, with City paying a proportion of his salary. Then there's the interest in Lewis, we can't loan two players from the same club, so one will be a purchase and the other I presume a loan. There will be wheeling and dealing going on that everyone is happy with, players, agents and the clubs.

It's a three way game of chess.
With regards to what Maresca says, what do you expect him to say? I will ostracise all those not in line with my plans!
When they're ready, I'm sure we will all find out, but most of what we talk about is guesswork based on rumours, and it depends on whether you're a glass half full or empty person.

30 Jul 2026 08:31:45
Or your glass has been smashed through years of crushing disappointment sort of person..

30 Jul 2026 09:31:55
All those with BR2526 form an orderly queue for fitting of your new jacket with buckled wrap around sleeves and gusset strap. This queue will be well away from any edges or steep drops.
It's being so cheerful that keeps him going. 🤣🤣
Seriously. Have a lovely day, BR. All the best, Big C.

30 Jul 2026 10:54:40
Live a bit of bubble wrap, Big C - sign me up!

If you include a hat version, it'll offer some protection from banging my head against the wall..

Off to watch some cricket today. Sitting around watching not a lot happening with occasional moments of excitement. Good prep for the Lille game.

30 Jul 2026 11:21:42
Good points: good with ball at his feet, can put in a good cross, attracts defenders.
Other: slows the game down (too much in my opinion) , his glass is always half full, can't/won't shoot, still working on recovery. Loan with reduced wages is best.

29 Jul 2026 09:41:10
I'm honestly getting tired of watching the same thing every pre‑season and then pretending it'll magically change once the real games start.
Last night was just another reminder of what we've been stuck with under Moyes, the same old dinosaur tactics, the same slow build up, the same "keep it tight and hope for a moment" approach that's been holding us back for years.

You can see it all over here today and I agree with the majority of it. We look predictable, passive, and completely devoid of ideas. Modern football has moved on.
Teams press, rotate, attack with purpose, and use their squad properly. Meanwhile we're still watching rigid shapes, long hoof balls, and players being asked to do jobs that don't suit them.

We desperately need a new manager who comes in with a fresh approach. Someone who actually reshapes the squad, implements a modern style, and gets us on the front foot. I'm sick of watching us sit back and hope for scraps. We've got players who can play attacking football, but under Moyes they're shackled to a system that belongs in another era.

It's time for TFG to be brave. Thank Moyes for what he's done, but move on. Bring in a manager who isn't afraid to evolve, who actually uses tactics suited to today's game, and who gives us something to get excited about again. Right now, we're stuck, and last night proved it yet again.

{Ed025's Note - i wish i had written that OS, kudos mate..

29 Jul 2026 12:13:21
Just to cheer you up, mate, have just been reading DM has no intention of leaving Everton for the Scottish job.

29 Jul 2026 12:26:09
Moyes will be gone by Christmas, form and tactics will demand that decision to be made by TFG by then, that's for sure.

29 Jul 2026 12:47:17
Great read that Os, I must say!

Moyes isn't going anywhere, let's face it. It is a shame, as there are still some very good managers out there that would jump at the chance to come and manage us and challenge themselves in the PL.

Christian Ilzer (Hoffenheim)
Claudio Giraldez (Celta Vigo)
Ole Werner (currently without a club, so no compo) .

29 Jul 2026 12:50:15
I think we all know that, mate.

29 Jul 2026 13:56:10
Claudio Giraldez is a great shout, Bn. I would also throw Inigo Perez (Villareal) into that list too.

29 Jul 2026 14:58:43
I think his eyes have been elsewhere since winning AFCON. He knew damn well there would be huge interest following the trophy and his performances in that tournament. His heart has lost its shade of blue ever since! Best of luck for the future, thanks for claiming to love the club for 2 years, all the best.

imo.

29 Jul 2026 15:00:59
Sorry, my reply above was meant for the Ndiaye post underneath.

29 Jul 2026 15:11:13
I like him, OS, but Villarreal have only just got him from Vallecano, so I think it would be a non-starter, mate.
