Everton Transfer Rumours

12 Aug 2026 15:16:42
Munoz to Everton now just a Moyes decision, journalist claims.
Everton’s move for Daniel Munoz has reportedly been reduced to a single obstacle: David Moyes making up his mind.

What’s holding things up, in Nixon’s words, is Moyes needing to “commit to the Colombian” despite concerns he “may not fit snugly into his way of playing.”

Sounds like an opinion piece as I doubt Moyes would say anything.

Smoke and mirrors.

12 Aug 2026 16:17:01
"His way of playing"? Not sure what that is. He has me totally confused. Can anyone help please!

12 Aug 2026 17:08:27
Moyes has decided to try Patterson. Looks like Wan Bassaka is off elsewhere, I'm wondering if Moyes is digging his heels in for Doue still.

{Ed025's Note - Or we are not getting one..

12 Aug 2026 05:53:28
I hope to God this is just click bait.
Everton are reportedly considering a move for Kyle Walker.

12 Aug 2026 06:13:18
It must be. The man is a year younger than Seamus. Would you have him as back up though? Ashley Young Mk II?

12 Aug 2026 07:08:59
No. If the club is serious about moving forward then no.

12 Aug 2026 08:17:17
I can only assume that Moyes wants him, and we are bringing in another younger option that the recruitment team want. This will give them a year to bed in, learn off Walker, and be ready for Eddie Howe next season.

{Ed025's Note - my new slogan is..."IM READY FOR EDDIE"..

12 Aug 2026 08:58:09
Love it.

12 Aug 2026 09:28:24
Most of the players we have been linked with this summer haven't actually been accurate stories. I would hope this is the same. Norgaard and Johnson (as well as KDH last year) pretty much came out of nowhere. It looks like TFG like to keep their cards close to their chest. So hopefully a RB signing will pop up soon.

12 Aug 2026 10:10:43
Soon, I reckon within the next 3 windows.

12 Aug 2026 10:13:15
Surely not that soon, Dev.

12 Aug 2026 10:53:34
I'll be an old man before they recruit a new right-back. Hang on a minute, I am an old man! Why it takes so long to recruit a player is beyond me. Now every team knows how desperate we are, and so the price goes up.


Also, the new striker looks to be dead in the water, so we will have to put up with B&B, which makes me feel even older.
Maybe Doris, the tea lady, can bulk up young Graham, at least he can score.

{Ed025's Note - i would put Doris up front Mike...could she do any worse mate?..

12 Aug 2026 11:52:23
Clickbait. BBC have already said it's a load of rubbish. Apart from Nordgard & KDH, all of DM's signings have been at the age of 25 and under.

12 Aug 2026 14:18:13
That doesn't fit the narrative on here though, DP.

12 Aug 2026 15:14:30
Careful, Dog Peter, you will wreck the narrative.

11 Aug 2026 18:03:51
Inter are after Spence from Spurs.

11 Aug 2026 19:33:51
Diouf to Brentford.

11 Aug 2026 16:52:18
Now reading Ndiaye has turned down the Saudis and staying at Everton, good news that vital player for us.

{Ed025's Note - happy days..

11 Aug 2026 17:05:33
Hope that's the case, GB. Need his creativity.

Now for the RB and striker..

An LB wouldn't go amiss either.

11 Aug 2026 18:05:58
I'm no expert, but whenever I've seen Senegal play, he's far from the first name in the start line-up. Actually, he always seems to be a sub, or gets subbed off quite early when he does start. I think he knows here he's playing every important minute unless he's injured. I like him, but I don't think he's super elite level, and I think he knows he's a bench warmer at City and Arsenal, with an FA Cup and League Cup likely making up most of his starts.

I also think a player knows when they are 3rd, 4th, or even 5th choice on a transfer list for clubs. Another year here does him no harm, and these rumours usually only lead to a wage rise when they don't materialise.

11 Aug 2026 21:05:06
He's not elite as he basically went on holiday after AFCON. His form was average, which stops him being elite.
He is capable of special moments and I don't want him to leave, but honestly, I think fans will be calling for Johnson off the bench if his form remains average.

11 Aug 2026 21:19:05
Not elite but when he starts taking people on and going past them it's pure football. Joyful and warm fuzzy like. 😉😂

11 Aug 2026 22:52:26
Don't think the worry was ever Saudi. It is if the likes of Arsenal or United come calling.

12 Aug 2026 01:02:31
Exact wording, turned down Saudi League because he wants to stay in the Premier League.

12 Aug 2026 07:10:27
Exactly dms but he didn't say with who?

12 Aug 2026 12:34:36
I wonder if Morocco hadn't been awarded the cup if the Senegal lads would have come back buzzing, instead they came back shell shocked. Still, he definitely dipped to average player levels and Gana took a month to get going too. It's the classic lack of competition for places that accommodates some players being able to cruise.
It's a subconscious thing, but it's measurable.

10 Aug 2026 20:02:42
Another Palace player on our radar now Danial Munoz RB.

{Ed025's Note - now i like him GB..

10 Aug 2026 20:39:55
Reckon it's more desperation our end. He must be well down the list that should have been compiled over the last 2 years and sounds like either lazy journalism or lazy recruitment. Normally, I'd side with lazy journalism, but it's getting a bit of a joke now that we are two weeks away from the start of the season and still don't have a rb..

10 Aug 2026 20:44:01
Great player, be made up if we go after him.
See if Palace want to swap him for Patterson.

10 Aug 2026 21:27:22
Could you imagine if that came true, JB.

10 Aug 2026 22:11:42
Don't think it's desperation myself, more likely that he's become available at a price and wasn't before. Would imagine that a lot of teams would be keen across Europe so we'll have to make it worth his while if we want him.

10 Aug 2026 22:24:43
Any idea on the price lads? Just turned 30 and 2 years left on his deal, I think.

What an upgrade he would be.

10 Aug 2026 22:32:43
18 million rumoured. Palace in talks with another RB.

{Ed025's Note - make this happen..

10 Aug 2026 23:12:19
Desperation BR? He is streets ahead of any other right back we have been linked with, and is a huge upgrade on anything we have. I would go as far as to say he is one of the best right backs in the league. I hope this is true, but cannot believe one of the big boys wouldn't be interested if he is available.

10 Aug 2026 23:31:11
If he is available for 18m and we don't go all out to get him, we are mad.

I wouldn't flinch if they wanted 30m, even if he is 30. He would transform our entire team. He has got 3 lungs.

Ndiaye would be free to run riot and have the overlap on every time.

11 Aug 2026 01:38:08
If it's true, what a signing. I have said on here a few times. I wish we could sign him. Fingers crossed. 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞

11 Aug 2026 07:25:22
£18 million is a steal for a player of his quality. Palace were ready to shell out £20 million for McNeil, so no debate.
If we get him, then go & get Richie from Spuds, I'd say that's a decent window.

UTFT NSNO. 💙 💙 💙

11 Aug 2026 07:41:47
More like desperation of some on here, he would be invaluable to the team. Get him in.

11 Aug 2026 08:33:11
I agree, lads, I have seen this lad prior to his injury, he's like the flash down the right hand side and a right nuisance, definitely worth the 18 million, be an absolute steel if we can persuade him to join us.

11 Aug 2026 08:53:48
Can we sign him though if we've just signed someone from the same club? Not sure what the new rules are, but thought this was why Villa couldn't sign Jackson from Chelsea.

11 Aug 2026 09:27:30
Yes - I still feel this is out of desperation as we should have signed an RB already (if not last season) . If he is available, why didn’t we use him instead of Johnson in the swap deal?

I find it hard to believe no one is interested in joining a Premier League club with a decent wage bill. If this is our new primary target then go all out and get him, but what on Earth have we been doing for the last 6 months? It doesn’t mean it’s a bad deal, but it feels like we have no ability to sort ourselves out and are working down a list of players who won’t come, or maybe our list is only 1-2 players long.

There’s also the view that if Palace have lined up a younger replacement/improvement, why are we not going after that sort of player? He’s 30 and is moving towards the end of his career.

Although many footballers are now continuing at higher levels into their early 30s, there are more who fall off the cliff edge of performance than don’t.

I just feel our recruitment team are a mess. Our early business was to resign two players (who we didn’t see enough of last year) and one of them was an obligation. I’m happy with Hackney and Norgaard because Gueye left and Garner has had an op, but there are obvious issues at RB, LB and up front that we need sorting and have for a while.

If Munoz is the target, go get him. I just wonder why we haven’t sorted this position yet.

We hear there is a player who might be available and we are suddenly all over it. Sounds desperate to me.

However, it could all be media hype and nothing behind it.

11 Aug 2026 09:33:43
Part of the problem is that fans believe every bit of tat in the press and create a narrative around it. How do we know that he wasn't top of our list all summer and Palace have only now agreed to let him go? Why would we waste our time perusing a player that's not for sale? We all want to see young players come through.

Barry, Dibling, Armstrong, Rohl, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Hackney. We have plenty of young players. We also need proven, talented, experienced match winners. Munoz is a class act.

11 Aug 2026 12:46:52
He is also fit as a butcher's dog and will easily give us 4 years, which in today's game, is more than enough.

If we manage that for 18m as well, then it is a no brainer.

11 Aug 2026 14:42:24
Blue dev, the issue Villa have is that if they sign Jackson then all the profit from the Morgan Rogers deal doesn't go onto their balance sheet if within 45 days of each other, as it will be viewed as a swap deal, and the profit gets spread over three years as opposed to the full transfer value. It's a rule they brought in to stop these you buy one of ours and we buy one of yours for accounting purposes.


The other issue is they can't loan him, so you already have Garnacho on loan.

I am actually surprised that Chelsea haven't done one of their dodgy deals and sell him to Strasbourg and then loan him to Aston Villa with an obligation to buy.

11 Aug 2026 15:59:27
How can anyone say this would be desperation, as many have said this lad is mustard, fast, can defend, great getting forward for overlaps, as BN says, I know we have been waiting an eternity for a decent right back, please pull this one, Blues. This would be the best signing of the window.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Col..

11 Aug 2026 17:07:19
I don't think it'll happen, Col.

Great if it does but why wasn't he used instead of Johnson in the swap?

11 Aug 2026 19:55:48
Just read that Barca, Inter and Chelsea all consider Munoz as an option too.

Inter lost Dumfries to Real, and need to replace.

Chelsea want cover for James, who's made of glass, and will be lucky to play 25 games next season.

12 Aug 2026 15:58:24
There's always the chance that he was used in discussions with the swap. Just negotiations got a no transfer fee for Johnson. Why wouldn't we jump for that? As far as I am concerned the swap was brilliant business.

Get it done and move on, then negotiate for a transfer fee for Munoz.

So many people make so many assumptions. It could all just be paper nonsense.

10 Aug 2026 19:46:17
So PNE in the cup. I really hope Moyes reads the room and puts out a strong team.

10 Aug 2026 20:01:55
At Goodison?

11 Aug 2026 04:42:41
I had that and thought. But pretty sure they'll have gone back by then (someone mentioned it's a game or 2 at Goodison - dunno if that's true without looking it up) .

11 Aug 2026 07:11:21
No, apparently it will be back at Deepdale according to a couple of PNE fans of mine.

10 Aug 2026 08:42:05
Johnson has his medical today I’m reading.

10 Aug 2026 09:16:08
Yep GB, the BBC are reporting both players having medicals today, so deal should be confirmed soon (all being well) .

10 Aug 2026 11:15:32
Can Brennan Johnson play as a 9 or is he just a winger?

10 Aug 2026 11:39:48
It's RB I'm concerned with.. Can he play there?

10 Aug 2026 12:40:38
I was speaking to a friend of mine this morning who is a Spurs fan. He said he was decent for them and was surprised they let him go, so I think it sounds like we’re getting the better end of the deal.

Palace paid £35m for him in Jan, and we’re swapping him for a player in the last year of his contract who we’d lost for free at the end of the season.

10 Aug 2026 12:51:48
I do wonder about this being a straight swap. Does anybody know what was the structure of Johnson's move from Spurs to Palace? Could we be possibly picking up any outstanding instalments still owed to Spurs?

10 Aug 2026 13:43:33
Let TFG worry about payments, etc. Not for us lowly fans.

10 Aug 2026 15:06:15
Yeah, I get that, but being reported as a straight swap may be misleading, and therefore eating into our overall budget.
That said, I'm looking forward to seeing him in an Everton shirt.
Good luck to Dwight too.

10 Aug 2026 15:18:47
Yep I wish Dwight all the best.

{Ed025's Note - me too..

10 Aug 2026 16:09:50
The Premier League have to ok the deal before it goes through, taking into account the estimated value of each player, and to ensure it meets their dodgy criteria.

10 Aug 2026 16:36:03
We will probably get deducted 6 points before the deal gets approved.

10 Aug 2026 16:45:34
In all honesty, I hope McNeil does well for them. Him and his other half seem decent people. It just didn't fully work out for him here. Scored a couple of crackers and had one good game playing at 10.

Let's hope this Johnson lad hits the ground running and outperforms all expectations.

10 Aug 2026 19:13:27
Is it a clever move? Do both clubs value the players at, say, 30 million, and then show that as income to improve PSR?

10 Aug 2026 19:17:25
I liked McNeil tbh. Not consistent, but scored a few great goals, getting mixed rumours about Johnson's attitude and inconsistency, so let's just wait and see!

10 Aug 2026 22:19:49
Was very sceptical about signing McNeil but only high praise for him, decent player on his day and wish him all the best of luck for the future and most importantly happiness.

09 Aug 2026 22:44:42
Can't help but think that Johnson will end up being an Ndayie replacement. Grealish will come in too to play on the left, and the Ndayie money will be used to buy a right back and a striker with Beto being shipped off somewhere.

10 Aug 2026 08:13:12
Well, I hope some of that happens, but fear you might be right about all of it.

10 Aug 2026 09:05:37
Hope we keep Ndiaye.

{Ed025's Note - so do i GB..

10 Aug 2026 10:17:35
Maybe dreaming but I'd love Taty Castellanos. Think he'd offer something different to what we have upfront.

{Ed025's Note - the only problem with that BT is that he would not be much use if we continue with hoofball mate..

10 Aug 2026 15:59:09
You'd think with the midfield we have he'd be way more compatible than Barry and Beto. If Grealish comes back, we have a serious midfield and a serious back up midfield. Taty would be very compatible with a ball playing midfield. Also, Johnston is a great piece of business.

Will definitely strengthen us. Add a player like Taty, it allows us to change the game plan. 3 strikers also may give Barry a bit of time to develop. Everton with a plan b sounds extremely fictional, I realize that. 😀

09 Aug 2026 19:52:29
Delap scored 2 for Chelsea in a friendly. If Alonso doesn't want him, why is he playing?

09 Aug 2026 20:08:42
They played their second team as they've played twice in two days.

09 Aug 2026 22:37:41
They were both penalties, weren't they?

The main thing is this: would he have scored the chances Beto missed at Stuttgart? Would Barry have scored them (I doubt he would have - I doubt he would have been in the right place, also) ?

It seems like he's the one Moyes has tried to sign before, so might go back again.

10 Aug 2026 08:14:35
Any other striker would've scored those chances. The fact is that there are only two top flight strikers that resemble Bambi on Ice and we have them both!

10 Aug 2026 08:14:56
If we continue playing hoofball, then it won't matter what striker we sign as long as he runs around a lot.

09 Aug 2026 15:25:59
Don't shoot the messenger folks. but a friend of mine with links to the club is convinced that Moyes will be leaving his role as Everton manager in September to take up the Scotland manager's job. not sure if there is any truth in this, but come to think of it, he has been very quiet during pre-season. In fact I haven't seen him doing any of his usual interviews or giving his thoughts about the new season ahead.

Add to that the lack of a right back and proven striker which is so clearly needed, and general transfer dithering and non activity. I'm beginning to wonder what might actually be going on behind the scenes. Eddie Howe incoming anyone?

{Ed025's Note - i will personally push him in a wheelbarrow to Scotland Elvis..

09 Aug 2026 16:48:41
Wow that's some info, Elvis, mate, thanks for that. Hope we go for someone better than Howe if DM is on the move.

09 Aug 2026 16:41:44
Ha ha ha, Ed you do make me laugh.

Personally I wouldn't be disappointed if Moyes left to take the Scotland job but I would be disappointed with the timing!

I'm not sure about Howe myself but I can't really think of anyone who jumps out as an ideal candidate

09 Aug 2026 16:50:30
Why would he wait and not go before the season starts, that makes no sense whatsoever?

09 Aug 2026 16:59:11
I doubt the club would go with that scenario of him leaving then. They would get rid now if that was the case.

09 Aug 2026 17:08:19
It would be mad to wait until September unless Moyes thinks we might be signing Mbappe. 😂

09 Aug 2026 17:10:35
Whatever the case, Moyes is in the last year of his contract and the club need to work on his replacement. The minute the Scotland job became available, the club should've kicked into recruitment mode. Even if done stealthily. So I hope that's the case.

09 Aug 2026 17:42:49
They can't get rid of him without sacking him and paying out his contract. If he leaves in September, we pay nothing.

It'd be a bit crap of Moyes if we don't have a backup ready to go. At least Howe would be more attacking. Maybe someone had a word with him after Moyes said he'd take the Scotland job so he stepped down from Newcastle.

who knows?

I think Scottish FA said they were close to announcing so doubt it is Moyes. Elvis' contacts have been on the ball in the past though.

09 Aug 2026 18:10:46
Well, everyone has been desperate for this, just waiting for when we get Howe or another bum in that takes us down. Although that will likely be Moyes' fault too!

09 Aug 2026 18:55:58
As much as I'd like this to be true, I just can't see it, and think that he's here for the duration unless we have a disastrous first half a dozen games.

When and if he does go, even if it's at the end of the season, it has to be Lee Carsley for me, I think he's made for the job.

09 Aug 2026 19:30:42
Yeah, I'm keen on Carsley too, think he'd be good.

09 Aug 2026 20:00:47
My god, imagine if he leaves in September without a right back being signed, especially if he's saying no to some of the options! Carnage!
😳

I thought they were looking at Naismith for interim charge. The next Euros they are pretty much guaranteed qualification from what I read due to this safety net for the two best home nations who don't qualify from groups as group winners or one of the 8 best runners up.


If he stays on, and say Naismith is in interim charge, he will miss the first two qualifiers or might be gone by then if things go tits up.

March 2027 Break (Matchdays 1 & 2)
June 2027 Break (Matchdays 3 & 4)
Late September to early October 2027 extended break (Matchdays 5, 6, 7 & 8)
November 2027 Break (Matchdays 9 & 10)

I feel sorry for Patterson if he takes the role, ends his Scotland career.
😭

09 Aug 2026 21:56:10
Don't forget ED if Moyes goes we would want a hefty compensation fee from the Scottish FA

{Ed025's Note - i would take a Mars bar and a packet of cheese and onion crisps Uran..

10 Aug 2026 10:16:37
No, pitching the price that high might stop the deal.

10 Aug 2026 16:21:20
Not true even a club ran like Everton wouldn't be that stupid. Unless we already have a replacement who's making calls on the squad. Howe would make sense because he resigned rather than waiting for a payout. But if that was the case the club would have known way before glassner went to forest.

You'd take him over Howe or the usual suspects. I just could not believe we'd be so ridiculously stupid bad enough we always sacrifice the first game or two by being slow in the transfer market. A new manager in September would be retarded

10 Aug 2026 22:29:12
Correction ed a battered mars bar and an iron bru ;-)

{Ed025's Note - well that is the staple diet up there Witty.. :)
