Everton Rumours

22 Jun 2025 11:41:04
Rumours we have verbally agreed a deal for tete at Fulham- on a free. Good move if true - definitely need at least 1 right back.

22 Jun 2025 12:23:58
Yep just read that we have him on a 3 year deal.

22 Jun 2025 12:40:48
Decent signing.

22 Jun 2025 14:56:17
29, RB but has played anywhere across the back line. If we have signed him, it’s a clever bit of business. A proper utility player. He might even do a bit of groundsman work he’s that versatile.

22 Jun 2025 15:19:30
Good signing if we can get him, but remember Danjuma? He was even photographed in our shirt and the buggered off at last minute. I'll just wait til he's officially an Everton player.

22 Jun 2025 17:08:36
Is tete decent 🤔 he doesn't stick in my memory that's not to say he isn't any good.

22 Jun 2025 17:51:50
In top 10% In Europe for defence and attacking capabilities RON. His fitness has been main issue with him. Solid defender though.

22 Jun 2025 21:22:28
I think it’s a great bit of business. A proven premier league RB on a free transfer. No brianer.

{Ed025's Note - its not done yet Swinners, i believe his injury record is a problem for Moyes mate..

22 Jun 2025 21:39:30
has anyone seen the lads injury record? It's not good reading.

{Ed025's Note - yeah i have Brass and its very worrying mate..

22 Jun 2025 22:07:54
I got told the same ED, it'll be interesting to see how this one pans out.

{Ed025's Note - i feel he would be a big gamble Jase, but hopefully better men than me will be making that decision mate..

23 Jun 2025 07:40:39
Hold the back page, Moyse has doubts.

23 Jun 2025 08:35:39
That's my only concern, bb, last season alone he missed half the games due to a knee injury. Looking further back, he's had a fair few injuries over the last few years. It seems RB position is just as hard to fill as getting in forwards mate.

23 Jun 2025 22:31:12
I’m assuming no one wants Coleman based on injury concerns.

As back up, I think Tete could do a job. Still would like KWP to sign or find another RB to start.

24 Jun 2025 08:18:58
KWP is off to Spurs apparently.

22 Jun 2025 09:26:59
38m for Mitrovic, now I know someone is having a laugh. Where do they get these stories from.

22 Jun 2025 10:43:48
No chance, has to be rubbish.

22 Jun 2025 10:53:41
The question "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? " is a philosophical thought experiment that explores the nature of observation and perception. It highlights the difference between physical events and their perception by a conscious observer. While the falling tree would create vibrations in the air, the question challenges whether those vibrations constitute "sound" without a listener to perceive them.

Stop opening this tripe and it soon goes away.

22 Jun 2025 11:10:35
Deep FBS very deep. But ultimately true👍.

22 Jun 2025 11:38:44
Kenny Tete here we go.

22 Jun 2025 11:39:01
FBS. I had to read that twice before understanding it. But fair play that’s an interesting lesson on not taking the bait these pathetic writers try to tempt us with.

22 Jun 2025 12:33:54
Or you could have just said it’s bollocks🤷‍♂️.

22 Jun 2025 16:02:57
I see and respect your skills at shorthand BND.

22 Jun 2025 17:23:12
Thank you 💙.

21 Jun 2025 20:15:21
Just saw a piece in Everton rumours saying we’re interested in a19 yr old Brazilian right winger Lucas Ferreira, apparently available for £8.6 m.
Any of the Ed’s or fellow posters know anything on this one?

{Ed025's Note - nothing this end up to now Big C..

22 Jun 2025 13:52:14
Bolsonaro, another Brazilian Right Winger is available on a free. Although not much of a team player by all accounts.

21 Jun 2025 12:21:36
Just read links to Valentin Atangana and for around 9 million.

This kid could be that good that I would rather park the Gueye talks until the deal was done.

Remember Will Still talking about this lad whilst being manager at Reims.

Strong as a bull. Calm in possession, never rushed. Only 19. Would be perfect for us in the middle of the park.

21 Jun 2025 12:55:35
Sounds just what we are looking for BN, Gana wants longer than the year offered maybe the time is right to let him go, Gana has been a good player for us let’s see what happens mate.

21 Jun 2025 13:56:24
Absolutely GB.

I am one of Gana's biggest advocates and would love him to sign on but the deal has to be right for us as a club. We can't commit to a longer deal at high wages at the age he is at.

21 Jun 2025 14:57:43
What is don't get with the gana situation is why only 1 year? To me i get with his age there will be a drop off at some point but if we were to give 2 years then next summer look to sell him to either middle east or france then this surely helps us with PSR as well.

21 Jun 2025 15:17:36
Gana is absolutely right to look after his own interests. He knows what on offer and at some point prior to the window closing he will know what's best. If someone elsewhere offers him 3 years and he wants to play on then that'll be what he does. If he wants another year in the world's best league, . he stays. Honestly the panic for deals is unnecessary and unrealistic. Calm down dears I don't expect it all to get moving for another month at earliest. Better to spend time analysing the off field appointments.

21 Jun 2025 15:35:03
He has earnt a 2 year contract. Still got the quality and engine.

21 Jun 2025 16:13:56
Sign him on for two years, sell him after one if he dips. Get it done.

21 Jun 2025 19:51:58
Or one year with the activation of a second year if certain criteria are met. It’s not uncommon.

It worries me that this was not sorted weeks ago. The only thing that could be holding it back is PSR and they are waiting until July to put it into next year rather than this.

I stop can’t get my head around why we have no money in comparison to others. It’s not like we are not able to generate money from merch or matchday revenue. We’ve offloaded a few high earners who haven’t lived up to their price tag so I’m hoping July is the start of sensible purchases of who will play for the shirt.

Get Gana, a RW, ST, RB or CB cover, GK cover, CM cover and RB/ LB cover. Is it too much to ask?

22 Jun 2025 09:18:03
While I agree Gana has probably earned a new contract, and yes he has to look after his own interests. It is also the responsibility of the club to look to strengthen the team. Therefore if they feel they can bring someone in who is better than Gana then they have to pursue that.
Yes we need to strengthen in other positions, but we also have to look to the future. Many on here have said why can't we do what teams like Brighton do and find quality players from other leagues. Well Atangana is one of those, and in my opinion would be a big hit with supporters, because of the energy he would bring to our midfield.
For the quoted 9m fee it's a no brainer for me.

20 Jun 2025 10:41:13
Timothy Weah most recent name being passed about. US international, only 25, plays on the right hand side. Would be a great addition imo, would get the yanks buying some shirts! I hope this one's not just click bait.

20 Jun 2025 12:09:05
It's all just click bait at the moment 🙄.

20 Jun 2025 17:20:12
George Weah's son isn't it? Was a striker, then put on wing but I'm sure for the USA or current club he has been playing as a RB last season.

20 Jun 2025 18:37:36
Seen some clips of him, doesn't look a very good finisher.

21 Jun 2025 06:42:45
He has been linked with us for years.

21 Jun 2025 10:26:42
Starting to quieten down on the rumours, only 3 a day, must mean something is close.

21 Jun 2025 12:58:53
Seems to me the only truths are that the club is still appointing backroom and board staff. Slow and methodical. No rush lads.

19 Jun 2025 19:21:30
Yuri Alberto linked again with us and Moyes a fan as he tried to sign him when West Ham manager. 70 odd goals in 180 odd games and 24 years old. Fee roughly 17 million if it's a goer. Thoughts on this as a signing? Personally I think he could be a decent signing.

19 Jun 2025 21:03:24
At that price, probably worth a sniff. Moyes has always liked a Brazilian!

19 Jun 2025 21:22:05
Got to be better than Barry who is another Beto type risk at 30m+.

19 Jun 2025 22:24:22
The next Richy?

For £17m it could be worth a punt….

20 Jun 2025 09:34:31
Got to be better than Barry?

Yuri Alberto is a 23yr old brazilian striker, whose still playing in Brazil

he signed for Zenit for 25mill, then went back to Brazil on a free (may have been for war reasoning but still BACK TO BRAZIL)

he's slow, he's stiff and it's a huge red flag all the above that in a world where everyone wants brazilian forwards one with that goal record never get's a move

says it all.

they all leave between 17-20 these days if they're any good.

20 Jun 2025 16:59:06
Agree with everything Wblue2 has said there apart from that he's slow. He is quite quick tbf to him but agree that he is stiff as a board and not who we should be going after in terms of strikers.

Emegha
Guessand
Kalimuendo
Bonny
Esposito

Any of those would do us just fine.

20 Jun 2025 18:51:53
Emegha would be my choice.

21 Jun 2025 11:21:32
I'd snap your hand off for Emegha!

But, i think our striker signing will be Evan Ferguson.

19 Jun 2025 18:45:18
Always take what the papers say, with a large pinch of salt, however, it has been widely reported that the club have given Moyes a budget of 70mill, that may seem a lot of money however, givern that our neighbours have just spent 116 mill on one player, and seem set to spend millions more, it does put Moyes budget into perspective.
I appreciate that with European football, this gives greater spending power, but, if we are to close the gap to the top end of the prem, and given the savings that have been made getting rid of the dead wood on blowted contracts, I really was expecting our new owner to push the boat out, at least 100mill plus.

{Ed025's Note - i was hoping for more than that PSG..

19 Jun 2025 21:14:06
I’m with you Ed.

Whilst £70m is a huge amount of money - in football it’s not that much particularly for a team trying to rebuild.

If the rumours are true regards this Barry bloke and the £35m fee then that’s half the rumoured budget gone already!

Hopefully whatever money is available is used wisely for a change and we buy players in positions we need, who haven’t suffered numerous injuries and are a young enough age which will allow us to if need be re-sell them in the future.

{Ed025's Note - yeah im with you Dan, £70m is just not enough im afraid mate..

19 Jun 2025 21:59:56
If Moyes is astute as he always seems to be and with the possibility of up to 4 loans, it may be sensible not to blow more than £70m.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think its about blowing it Will...its an investment, if you have any ambition you have to keep up with the Jones,s in this league mate or you will be left behind im afraid, imo £70m gets you two above average players on good wages...im afraid we need more than that..

19 Jun 2025 22:44:49
It might sound like a daft question but what is restricting us so much?

We’ve made losses for 5 years in a row. It can’t just be wages causing us to have such huge debts. I believed it was building the stadium and associated costs but thought PSR didn’t take infrastructure or development into account. Fed up of massive restrictions when we have a top ten attendance in the league and our matchday turnover isn’t awful.

Why are we so broke each year? Where is all the expenditure going?

I’m not saying we should have £100s to spend each year but we have no chance to compete in the current climate.

19 Jun 2025 22:48:00
I get some of the sentiments but given our financial situation over the past couple of seasons, is it a surprise that we don't have a shed load full of money to spend?

PSR is still an ongoing issue, and we need to manage our balance sheet carefully. Hopefully after a couple of years at BMD we'll be able to have more to spend.

Rome wasn't built in a day guys.

20 Jun 2025 07:53:39
2 goalies
2 right backs
1.left back
1 central defender
2 midfielders,
2 right wingers
1 / 2 strikers
All for 70 million.

{Ed025's Note - looks like we will be shopping in Aldi Pasty mate.. :)

20 Jun 2025 10:37:35
70m is more than enough unless you want to pay over the odds for bang average players. let's not forget the league is rigged to allow certain clubs the ability avoid PSR sanctions via creative accounting methods.

20 Jun 2025 11:26:28
Said it before, sell Goodison to Everton women's team. Better still employ Chelsea's accountants.

20 Jun 2025 13:02:50
No wonder we’re dabbling in the out of contract market. As people have already mentioned £70mil isn’t a lot for a rebuild

This is potentially why we are looking at the “out of contract market” with additions like walker, to plug a gap til next season. Not the perfect signing but an important one.

Sign 3 half decent players on a free. A few loans.

It means we can wisely spend the £70m on 2-3 young players.

It’s possible to improve the squad with that budget if we are smart.

It’s critical to get those players like Walker though IMO. He can do a job for 12 months.

It personally brings things back into perspective for me.

19 Jun 2025 15:03:21
Myers saying Everton are interested in Barry but not Walker, hope that's true would definitely bring Barry in.

19 Jun 2025 16:21:48
Fellows getting a mention again now as well. Get him for 10m and that would be a decent bit of buisness.

19 Jun 2025 17:13:58
See we've started talks with Branthwaite over a new deal, he's only got 2 years left so hopefully time we get him signed up we can still sell him for a few quid. Why hasn't Gana been sorted yet. It's been months.

19 Jun 2025 19:54:57
Blue_dev Branthwaite has 2yrs left and the club then has an option for a 3rd year.

Good to see the club are trying to get him a new improved deal.

19 Jun 2025 22:38:43
What I'm meaning is it takes us so long to sort anything out with contracts, they will need those 2 years to get to a stage we're he's close to signing. We can use the 3rd year to get the photos done.

19 Jun 2025 22:49:35
Tying Branthwaite up would be our best business of the summer.

19 Jun 2025 18:21:51
Gana is not happy he’s only being offered a one year deal apparently.

20 Jun 2025 07:58:32
Move on then.

19 Jun 2025 09:34:31
Looks like the Grealish rumour is gathering pace this morning with many suggesting he will sign for us shortly.

19 Jun 2025 14:14:58
where've you seen this mate? not seen anything like this other than on here saying he'd done first bit of medical?

19 Jun 2025 14:55:19
Romano posted it this morning saying that Grealish has been left outof the Team etc etc, he’s usually in the know mate.

19 Jun 2025 15:16:14
Left out of squad, doesn't mean he is coming to us GB. If the betting is anything to go by, we went from 6/ 4 favourites last week out to 5/ 1 this and Spurs are the new favourites to sign him. As stated previously really hope we get him, improves our team.

19 Jun 2025 15:38:22
no mention of EFC signing him shortly though?

19 Jun 2025 15:49:56
Nope, we weren't even mentioned and definitely no "Here we go". As someone said recently, Codswallop;-)

19 Jun 2025 15:53:37
We don’t get him there will be others.

19 Jun 2025 16:09:11
Obviously GB.

19 Jun 2025 16:10:59
He's not coming.

19 Jun 2025 16:23:35
Is Grealish better than what we have? I would say so yes.

19 Jun 2025 16:59:04
Sunstroke is a serious concern at your age. Have some water and find a darkened room and be still for 30mins.

20 Jun 2025 11:29:53
Ah Mr Sarcasm has turned up I see.

18 Jun 2025 20:06:36
Hi guys and Ed's, please don't shoot the messenger here but exciting news from a great source, a mate of mine is medical officer at broad green hospital and Grealish was their today with all the plungers on his chest apparently getting the first part of his medical to join the blues, their is nothing on the deal atm but I'm presuming it will be a loan with city offsetting some wages as he wants to stay in the north west, I am so excited by this this, we are making a statement and if anyone says we don't need him then they are insane, he is streets above what we have already and can play anywhere across the front line and I suggest he will be the main man for the club and he will revel in that, thoughts people.

18 Jun 2025 20:27:30
He didn’t have his mate Walker with him did he?

Why would he be at Broad Green getting the medical? Do we not have facilities at Finch Farm or use a private doctors?

18 Jun 2025 20:31:50
He's abit of a maverick in his lifestyle but can't argue that he would improve us. Our new stadium has a larger pitch I believe than goodison and some players excel with the extra space compared to compact pitches. I personally think he will flourish for us.

18 Jun 2025 21:03:41
I think he will go abroad.

18 Jun 2025 21:35:47
I’d be over the moon with that if he’s the guy Moyes wants. Villa are a similar club to ours, great traditional club with strong fan base. I think the fans would warm to him very quickly.

18 Jun 2025 21:38:28
That image of him being carried by team mates after the treble party leaves a bad taste for some supporters but he’s just a lad who’s lived his dream and been part of a team that’s matched one of greatest achievements in football

If he wants to smash 5 litres on Vodka and let his fair down, so be it. Party time is over now and time to get back to his best 👏.

18 Jun 2025 22:06:15
They use Fairfield in St Helens as well, and that is a fact.

18 Jun 2025 22:50:40
Thought he was on holiday?

18 Jun 2025 22:52:43
I hated watching him play the last few games against us. Just dives as soon as he’s touched. For the same reason why I wouldn’t want Richarlison - spend more time on the floor than playing with the ball.

19 Jun 2025 08:04:07
he's still on holiday.

19 Jun 2025 15:11:18
Can’t afford him. Move on.

17 Jun 2025 22:46:40
Rumour has it we have Palace as the first home game at BMD HD stadium. It will be interesting to see how accurate the rumours are tomorrow when the schedule is announced.

I know many people will want one of the breakaway 6 but I’d be happy with a team we have a good winning record against like Palace. Need to get off to a winning start in our new home.

17 Jun 2025 23:44:00
Seen something similar mate but I'd take it with a pinch of salt. The same list had both Newcastle and Sunderland both playing at home on the same day, which never happens apparently. I thought it was a bit suss that it also gave which games had been chosen for the different tv channels.

18 Jun 2025 06:14:48
Every year the fixtures get leaked and it’s always a million miles off the truth.

Just wait it out. Not long now.

18 Jun 2025 07:21:42
If that’s the case MK, I’m hoping it’s the same source that has been leaking the Walker, Stones and Fred stories.

18 Jun 2025 07:42:12
Palace are now in for Thierno Barry too, what's the odds we get Phlace and he scores, that's the Everton Way.

18 Jun 2025 10:25:24
Well they got that one wrong. Leeds away first game. Brighton first game at HDS.

18 Jun 2025 12:12:04
Let’s hope some of those other rumours are wrong also!

18 Jun 2025 14:29:39
Amen to that!

18 Jun 2025 15:03:32
Are we going with HDS or BMD? Or creative new ideas pending
The Grand Old Lady’s Daughter
The Dixie
Goodison 2

It needs something that fits into a song

C’mon, c’mon get down to Bramley Moor Dock does scan but I leave it up to clever people than I.
