Everton Rumours

20 May 2025 15:02:16
Doucoure confirms he’s leaving the club.

{Ed025's Note - i wish him well Big C, but i feel its the right decision mate..

20 May 2025 15:08:53
He's scored a few important goals for us, we'll always be grateful for that. But end of Contract high wages maybe it's a good time to part company. Wish him all the best.

20 May 2025 17:20:10
Classy video. He can leave with his head held high and with our thanks, but agree, it’s the right time.

20 May 2025 18:09:35
You could see it in him at the end of the game what he thought of our club good luck to him.

20 May 2025 21:10:22
Down to agents I feel. Could/ would have stayed on a reduction of wages. Leeds, Roma, Saudi's in for him.

19 May 2025 11:45:48
What’s anyone’s take on the substitutes yesterday and the way they were introduced.

In particular when Young came on it was clearly mentioned it was his last home game for us and won’t be with us next season.

However nothing was mentioned when Keane or DCL came on.

I’m wondering if this is as they may have contract extensions offered but no decision has yet been made by them?

Any thoughts?

{Ed025's Note - i think their situation is in abeyance Dan, if we think we can get better for their positions at the right price then they will leave, but if not they will be given short term contracts until the right replacements can be identified mate, it cannot all be done in one window..

19 May 2025 13:03:16
Definitely all can’t be done in one window.

Just thought it was interesting that Young not being with us next season was mentioned, however nothing about DCL or Keane and for that matter there was nothing said when Harrison came on.

Going to be an interesting summer for us.

Provided we’re stronger starting next season and make some decent recruitment I’m sure fans will get over any contract extensions given out.

{Ed025's Note - that may depend on who and how long the contracts may be Dan..

19 May 2025 14:10:00
Would definitely like Keane and DCL gone in the summer with a few others, I think once the window opens we are going to be very busy with ins and outs.

19 May 2025 15:16:12
I'd imagine it's because a) nothing has been decided yet and/ or b) nothing has been announced yet.

I definitely want Keane gone. DCL, I'm not too fussed either way, I wouldn't be gutted if he stayed. Whereas I'd be devastated if Keane stays.

19 May 2025 15:28:46
I would be seriously underwhelmed if both stayed Jase.

DCL should be quicker out the door than Keane imo. Especially the way the last year or so has gone.

As poor as I think Keane is, he is never a problem. He conducts himself well and tries his best, even if his best is nowhere near good enough.

Holgate, Keane, Doucoure and DCL should be out the door at the first opportunity. That would certainly make me feel like TFG are not for d***ing around and mean business.

{Ed025's Note - i would like to throw Harrison in there as well...literally.. :)

19 May 2025 16:17:50
Guess I didn't count him because he isn't ours Ed (yet) haha.

19 May 2025 16:41:02
I wouldn’t keep any of the three loans we made. Send back and try again.

19 May 2025 23:20:09
Think they included Young’s details of leaving as it had been officially announced Dan.

Like Ed said, they will be offered something if the money is right and we can’t get a replacement in. It’s worrying more than anything when you consider Harrison, Keane and Doucs might be offered extensions. I can’t see it myself. Coleman, DCL and Gueye I can see getting 12 months and us signing Alcaraz permanently but not the others. However, needs must. We’ll probably offer 5-6 extensions though not everyone will be happy.

Moving Young on is the right thing to do in my opinion. Forgot we had Holgate. Were West Brom relegated this season? I just assumed they were unless he didn’t play much.

20 May 2025 14:58:43
No idea about Keane but DCL (always stands for Damaged Cruciate Ligament in my head now) and Doucs still have a paycut extension on the table if they want it, Young already turned down the paycut.

20 May 2025 15:38:16
Nobody seems bothered that Maupay is heading out permanently, I wonder why 😂🤣.

18 May 2025 20:33:12
Longstaff to Everton rumours gathering pace.

19 May 2025 09:35:11
I've been reading the same, is he better than what we already have, surely we should be targeting better, would he get into teams around our position I don't think so,

19 May 2025 10:20:23
Respected by footballers and. derided by fans. A few years back Rafa was reported to be interested and most didn't like the rumour then. I see a player who does the uglies really well but he's another 3 or 4 years older and I'm just not sure if he is the same player. Every manager seems to try to over look him at the earliest opportunity but like a cockroach, he always comes back and survives and even gets another contract. Different to what we have so hard to compare to either Doucoure or Gaye. Is he out of contract and available on a free? If so then probably a good signing.

19 May 2025 11:27:20
Wonder if it’s another attempt by the club to figure out who’s leaking information.

Apparently the club want to be able to do their transfer business quietly this summer with it being such a pivotal moment for the club and want to stamp out any leaks.

The Ashley Young new contract was a prime example - was only told to a few people and it was straight out in the public domain.

19 May 2025 12:08:15
£10 to £12 million being quoted.

19 May 2025 12:13:39
I don't think he is on a free FBS. He has a year left so will be around the 10/ 15 million mark I think.

19 May 2025 21:12:07
Reckon he'd be a cracking signing.

17 May 2025 11:26:44
Should we get Diarra as our first signing of the summer, I think we will be in for a very exciting summer.

What a coup he would be.

17 May 2025 14:45:55
Tom Fellows to start with for me mate, I’ve had it with our so called strikers.

17 May 2025 14:48:19
Which one? There’s a 40 year old Diarra - that’s the kind of signing we’ve made over the last few years….

17 May 2025 14:52:30
Ashley young released.

17 May 2025 15:11:22
Didn’t know he had been arrested!

17 May 2025 15:49:08
Good news Bob mate.

17 May 2025 20:04:49
Isn't Fellows a winger GB?

17 May 2025 20:19:10
He is indeed mate but just think he would get us more goals mate.

17 May 2025 20:51:51
I like the sound of him GB. Heard he’s a good fellow.

17 May 2025 22:18:28
Depends what we eat.

17 May 2025 22:33:41
Not too sure about the goals, but he'd definitely get some assists.

16 May 2025 09:08:33
Please no too young It would be the biggest joke of the year.

15 May 2025 23:02:31
Not to alarm anyone but rumours are that youngs been offered a one year deal.

{Ed025's Note - lets hope that its just a rumour TB, as i have said...i will judge Moyes more on the players he keeps rather than the ones he brings in mate..

16 May 2025 07:16:40
That’s hopefully a windup. Moyes has barely played him and mentioned he was forced to play him against Fulham which sounds like he’s not in his plans.

16 May 2025 08:25:46
can't all be done in one window, Young has proven this year he's great around the squad and depth option

can't spend well on every single position in one window and buy depth options on top of that

it's a squad option, not a starter.

the question you ask for me is the more adequate depth they have, the more room there is to spend on huge first 11 needs (ATTACK)

16 May 2025 09:03:52
I'd welcome his experience around the coaching staff for sure and I'm sure he's done his badges. Him and Bainse are exactly the sorts we want around the place, wearing tracksuits and body warmers.

16 May 2025 09:24:55
Tbh gents, I read this last night and pondered over this.

I actually don't mind if we keep him. It will be a short deal and he won't be on stupid money. The reason I think it would be good to keep him is that he will be good to have in the dressing room. He keeps standards high and by all accounts is extremely professional.

That being said, I don't want him to play any more than the last few mins of a game that has already been put to be, lower league cup games or as a last resort if we get splattered by injuries and lose 1st/ 2nd choice players in the respective position he fills in for.

16 May 2025 10:27:58
Patterson going - if Branthwaite goes - O’Brien into centre back - leaves us with no right backs presuming Coleman retires
We have a very poor squad - if Keane goes we are left with only x2 centre backs (if Branthwaite goes) - so can see how young may have to stay.
That’s before we address left back, midfield and a striker 😂
8 incomings I reckon (mixture of signed and loans)

Bollard from Sunderland?

16 May 2025 11:42:14
You can't get rid of 12 out of contract players in one go, also we can't afford to then bring in 12 players to cover the 12 that left, then add more players to the very small squad we have, some players need to be kept around and next year they can leave and we replace them then, small steps, not Huge mistakes like last time.

16 May 2025 21:54:40
He can do a few jobs so one I would keep hold of, as long as on reduced terms.

16 May 2025 22:39:31
We should know some signings before Sunday. I reckon Coleman will get 12 months based on what Moyes has said.

17 May 2025 17:20:46
Well your sources were wrong.

15 May 2025 07:02:38
Jason Knight Bristol City CB - links and approve decent talker organiser and stood out in good team. Imagine would be circa 15-20m.

16 May 2025 08:26:13
Guessing typo with CB (or something i don't know haha! ) he's a Centre Mid.

14 May 2025 19:51:43
Just reading james Mcatee from city is the new 1 we are linked with and it's a YES from me cracking young player.

15 May 2025 07:47:33
Exactly the sort of player we should be looking at. Young, with the ability to play in the Prem (that is proven) , potentially international, will be an assset.

15 May 2025 10:06:24
Agree Swinners. Looks a very good prospect and been playing in 1st team recently. Surprised Pep sanctioning a transfer unless they are having an overhaul.

15 May 2025 17:09:03
Imagine if they do sell him there’ll be a buy back clause in any deal.

15 May 2025 19:09:10
Probably right Gingerdan. We never seem to put buy back clauses into any of our deals, but then again we do get rid of some dire players lol.

12 May 2025 13:41:13
Reading that Al Shabab are in talks to sign Doucoure, yes please.

12 May 2025 13:47:49
Saudi pro league, £3 million a year in wages phew.

12 May 2025 18:05:15
Shame we’d get nothing for him. At least his wages would free up some cash for others.

{Ed025's Note - just getting rid is reward enough for me BR..

12 May 2025 18:37:50
Don’t want anything for him mate would just be glad to get him off the books £130 grand a week is extortion.

12 May 2025 19:58:58
£130k per week for a player signed from the Championship is crazy.

12 May 2025 22:22:03
I’m sure he hasn’t always been on that swinners and there was a time he may have justified near to £100k but silly season hit during the Moshiri years and someone was handing out contracts with stupid amounts of money like it was going out of fashion.

£130k a week off the books would be great. Hopefully, we can get it all sorted so we have players that will work for their wage. My only fear is we will eventually need to pay stupid amounts to compete with top teams.

13 May 2025 18:50:34
When was that BR? I don’t think he ever has mate.

Other than Pickford and Richy, I don’t think we have had anyone in recent times that warrants 100k plus in wages per week (since wages went silly) .

13 May 2025 20:06:12
Depends on where you look Bluenose. Some places have him as always being on or around £120k; others say he started on £75k and went up to £120k in the last three years.

It bonkers what some players have been reported to be on. Holgate is the craziest I can think of but Keane is not far behind. Oh for the days we didn’t throw a kid of money away on players and pay off managers from their contracts. We weren’t falling foul of PSR pre covid so what happened afterwards for us to sell all our talent and still struggle.

13 May 2025 22:20:33
Madness mate, utter madness.

14 May 2025 21:38:57
Personally I would like to no which IDIOT put Harrison on 90 grand a week, that is shear a crazy town contract .

{Ed025's Note - 90p would be too much PSG, Leeds took advantage of the position we were i mate but who can blame them?..

11 May 2025 15:37:56
Sky are saying we are in for Richie .

11 May 2025 16:08:51
Interesting as Moyes said that there was ‘zero truth’ in it.

11 May 2025 16:42:57
Can’t see that myself, but who knows.

08 May 2025 20:26:00
Have I been on the pop, am reading Leeds are offering £26 million for Beto, well I never.

08 May 2025 22:56:28
I read £30 mill.

08 May 2025 23:25:21
Might need to sign a few before we let anyone that’s not out of contract go. Pleased to see that we’re not dishing out contracts to the old guard, yet anyway. Would be happy to see Guaye sign on again, but the rest can go with good wishes.

09 May 2025 00:03:15
If true we should snap their arm off.

09 May 2025 06:54:35
Everton rumours are reporting Richie back on loan and Leeds are interested in Beto . Richie on loan makes sense and Beto to make way makes sense one wage for another especially if we sell Beto. I like Beto but he needs to be better in all areas of his game especially controlling the ball. Richie’s only worry is his fitness, which as I’ve said I think will improve when he’s happy. Back where he feels loved by the fans.

09 May 2025 07:46:00
Well if Leeds are offering that kind of money then take it. Thought he would end up going for about 10m so grab it and run.

09 May 2025 11:07:46
Crazy that fans are happy to sell our joint top scorer.

Appreciate that he’s not to everyone’s liking but he’s scored 7 goals the same as Ndiaye but in 1000 less minutes.

Our top scorer last season was DCL and Doucore with 7 and the season before it was McNeil with 7.

We need goals in the team and Beto brings that - in my opinion would be a poor decision to move him on, particularly to a league rival. Highly unlikely will find a better goalscorer for the rumoured fee being offered for him.

09 May 2025 12:10:01
Not crazy at all if we want to progress he has to go along with many others, all these average players and that’s being kind to them they just aren’t good enough, am looking, looking forward to this summer window bring it on.

09 May 2025 15:56:43
Our top scorer who hasn't scored many goals is exactly why he should be moved on and replaced with a better standard of player. It won't happen though, even the Leeds fans are kicking off over this rumour, they don't even want him!

09 May 2025 16:26:29
Theres a rumour going round that Beto can score for fun . . . started by his agent

'Beto bring goals to a team'? If we have the Zenith in striker ability then I must be in a time slip or something.

09 May 2025 17:34:26
BP I know your stance on Beto.

Just to point out that he’s our joint top scorer with Ndiaye so should we get rid of him also?

09 May 2025 18:08:12
I hope to goodness sake that Harrison isn't used in the deal.

09 May 2025 18:13:33
That’s a stupid point about getting rid of Ndiaye he’s a dam good player and come to think of it Jordan doesn’t score too many, do we get rid of him as well.

09 May 2025 19:14:48
We also know yours dan but that's a silly comment to make really. One is a CF and the other has been utilised more on the wing. The . majority of fans, not just me, have a similar view on Beto and most would let him go this summer.

Leeds our rivals? If that's the case then we might as well give up! A yo-yo team at best, they will more than likely struggle next year whereas, if we spend right, we should be looking to progress from our previous premier league woes. By selling them beto, that gives us an advantage in my book. Having a 'rival' team take the dross off your hands is a win win situation.

09 May 2025 20:39:18
Guess we’re in the minority Dan but I’d keep Beto for annother season also. I think he would be a decent squad player/ sub being that he’s started banging in goals this year.
I also think in this day and age finding a player that actually wants to play for the shirt is a rarity.
On another note if it’s true Doucs isn’t willing to take a pay cut then it’s a goodbye from the lot of us I think 👋🏻.

10 May 2025 09:46:17
I'd keep beto for another season and let dcl go. But if rumours are true and Leeds offer e0 million then we would be silly to turn ghat down.

10 May 2025 18:55:19
Beto keeps scoring. We have to keep him.

We should also sign Alcaraz as he got another assist today.

Keane scored but he can’t stay on that wage and be fourth choice CB.

Harrison and Doucs have to go along with Lindstrom and Broja.

Lots to do this summer!

11 May 2025 17:04:35
I can't believe people want rid of beto. Given a full season he could be near 20 goals a season. I've noticed that he is much better when Alcaraz is on and even McNeil. Both can assist and McNeill can shoot from distance so it gives him more space.

People say he doesn't do enough, but when he's got the likes of douc and Harrison setting him up (or not setting him up) genuinely, what can you expect him to do? What could you expect of anyone?

I'm all for getting a better striker than Beto, but if we are going to keep any of the 4 we have, surely is has to be beto.

{Ed025's Note - as a back up i could work with that Chris, but for a main striker his first touch is awful mate and his hold up play needs a lot of work..

11 May 2025 18:09:01
I get that Ed. But when we had Dom playing up front with a good touch and great hold up play but no goals, we were all saying how we would trade the touch and hold up play for goals. Now we have that. I agree that his hold up play isn't the best and needs to improve. But Beto's touch and hold up play is not why our Douc, Harrison, lindstrom etc don't score more. I'd just like to see us improve elsewhere before we go all out for a new striker and expect him to be the perfect all-rounder with utter dross behind him.

{Ed025's Note - we do need a better midfield Chris of course we do, its all about opinions i suppose mate but i just dont see Beto as the answer..

11 May 2025 18:09:02
Gotta give Beto his dues. He works his socks off but sometimes he's further back than doucoure chasing doucoures attemp at controlling it ( touch like a pinball machine bumper) . When he's played through on goal though he has good pace, strength and will shoot. Keeper was at fault for his goal yesterday but if you don't shoot you'll never score. He could have a part to play for us next season, 1st team or as impact sub. But like I said earlier in post, 30 million is a lot to turn down.

12 May 2025 10:50:47
These click bait sites are getting worse. I've just seen one article, quoting an ex employee Bryan King (scout) that if Leeds want Beto then it would cost them 80m! Any rumour from these kind of sites should be taken with a pinch of salt!
