Hi Ed don't know if you have the seen the piece from Royal Blue Mersey, hope you have what a brilliant piece of journalism which makes a change to most of the stuff that has been written, I see on here that there are still the doubters and the usual moaners but this is the true Everton that is happening aren't I glad Mr Moshiri came our way and also the way he praises Bill RK and SW long may it continue, GuernseyBlue.

{Ed025's Note - i too believe the club is in a good place GB, it may take a bit of time till we are up with the elite mate but we are certainly going in the right direction..

Considering how well Koeman's name is known on the World Stage, it would seem strange - that if a fair percentage of rumours are supposedly true - with his names inability to attract that Marquee signing.

17 Aug 2016 16:12:18
Wonder if that's why moshiri made that stateeny the other day, about wanting more. Basically telling bill to spend spend spend and get the signings done.

17 Aug 2016 21:06:46
It is easy to spend spend spend, a lot harder to get the right players in it will take time. We have to become a team in the top half of the table first to be become more attractive to top players.
It took Man City ad Chelsea a few years to become top Euro teams after the money came in and it is harder now.
We will do it but maybe not just yet guys.

Hey lads Sunderland fan in peace!

Just curious is there any concrete source for the McCarthy Kone swap deal or is it just what people are after. I know Sunderland have been linked with McCarthy but haven't red anything about a swap deal?

Also Everton fans what are your opinions of McCarthy? Any good.

17 Aug 2016 14:20:27
FTM I suspect they are just rumours I rate McCarthy and RK will probably not want to let him go as he is being used as a RWB cover while Coleman is injured. He played well on Saturday so RK may well keep him there if he uses a back 3 again. McCarthy started his EFC career really well but went of the boil last season as did the majority of the team. So if we do sell him whoever gets him will be getting a quality player.

Good luck for the rest of the season except for two fixture of course.

17 Aug 2016 14:41:26
Cheers Sa90. As long as we keep Kone I will be happy. I have no doubt that McCarthy would have been am improvement on carts and would compliment our midfield very well. You to mate hope yous do well for the season.

17 Aug 2016 21:09:19
McCarthy may be a better player for Moyes than he was for Martinez as Moyes is a much better manager and a new club could be right for him.
All you Sunderland fans trust Moyes and your days of relegation fears will be behind you.

According to arseblog who are a respected blogger, Usmanov is ready to sell his stake and join his pal at the mighty Blues, now I know it could be bollox and all i'm doing is reporting a rumour, just before some people start moaning.

Ive always thought this could happen and am quietly confident it will, there were huge rumours from Russia a while back, also Farhad only buying 49.9%, then again I love a good conspiracy theory

Ed 2 I would like to post your comment myself if you don't mind mate, as follows

(Usmanov will not be buying into Everton)

😄😄😄😄😄.

17 Aug 2016 11:45:50
I read the same thing Murf. Can't see any future for Usmanov at Arsenal seeing that he is not on the board and has no relationship with Kroenke, but who will buy the shares? Maybe Kroenke but it is a lot of money about 0.3 to 0.4B pounds and I am not sure why he would want to do that seeing that he has full control now. It is going to be interesting to see how this pans out. Would be great if he did come to Everton though.

17 Aug 2016 11:47:30
Although I don't pay much attention to media gossip if you look at there business history and relationship, I still think there is more from this takeover/ Investment than what we know Moshri has bought controlling stake is what I understand with rest sat on board we know Moshri is pulling the strings but it would not surprise me one bit if Usmanov did join let's be fair he is a wealthy man and we are talking one of richest in world, who is stuck with 30%shares with no say so when you look at facts this all makes sense let Moshri sell his stakes take over Everton while usmanov can have no say don't forget they still have ties and are still business partners it's not like Moshri has gone it alone they still run other companies together. Future is good either way Moshri will be good for us but if Usmanov came in we could be talking an elite club.

17 Aug 2016 21:27:42
I'm a red and I'm probably the only one who actually wants use at the top again like ourselves. Hate the fact Manchester are trying to get top of the tree domestically and worldwide. Merseyside is where football was made.

Now, do you really want usmanov?

Your doing ****ing boss atm actual owner with a clue about football, sets out a plan and achieves it. Our owners wanted there plan and (they have been great) but didn't have the nuts to just do it. Ended up with comollis, transfer comitees. And so on.

Moshri looks the absolute business.

Just for a second look at what usmanovs leadership is doing dwn at arsenal. Yes Wenger has his way of working but aslong as there making money there is no pressure on him to actually win the league etc, now want to spend to achieve. INVEST.

I wouldn't want him in moshris ear.

You would have more money but would it get spent? Would it not just be for the shareholders.

I have the arsenal argument every year when people say there successful. Every year we all believe we can win the keague, all the cups, buy all thee players and so on. There's is we will finish 4th. They already no there season. The fans are dead, no hope.

Steer clear moshri lad your doing a good job.

All the best this year lads. Just smash the mancs and cockneys for us.

17 Aug 2016 22:43:06
To be fair supermane, usmanov hasn't got any control at Arsenal which is why this rumour keeps popping up. He wants to be on the board and he wants to spend cash but Kroenko (think that's his name) just won't entertain the idea. There is also a long standing relationship between usmanov and moshiri, they have been business partners for a long time. I would be elated if he sold up his shares in the gunners to join us but I don't think it is about to happen, just rumours due to the fact the two men are friends mate.

18 Aug 2016 00:16:59
Fair enough spud lad. My entire post was dedicated to kronke.

Be boss if you get this fella then.

Really jealous of how its all clicking into place for you, but happy at the same time.

Haven't had a proper derby for ages. Forget us winning, Rodgers and Martinez sucked the life out of both teams. Spirit, fire, passion.

Koeman and klopp. Barkers vs hendo. Should be heated, lively and a proper f**king derby.

Good luck again for the season.

Still don't want use above us though. Sorry 😉.

17 Aug 2016 10:48:04
Rumour has it usmanov might be selling his take in Arsenal and joiningredients up was farhad, can you imagine league titles here we come.

17 Aug 2016 11:02:35
Joingreidient up lol, what happened there.

17 Aug 2016 13:16:03
I think its his recipe for success murf.

17 Aug 2016 10:02:05
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane says James Rodriguez will stay at the Bernabeu this summer.
That now leaves Isco or Julian Draxler as the possible signing for Everton after former player on Twitter Danny Gabbidon suggested the other night that Everton were after one of three players.

17 Aug 2016 10:24:53
I can't wait for the transfer window to close. All these rumours are driving me crazy.

17 Aug 2016 08:50:22
Can anyone tell me why we haven't moved for Begovic yet? Reckon he has to be the best target in terms of goalkeeper, surely! Howard still not replaced and I would take Hart ( think he's just short of confidence) but reckon Begovic would be a cheaper option and as good if not better.

17 Aug 2016 09:16:39
I feel if we take Joe Hart you will see a different goalkeeper. He hasn't really been challenged at Man City and I think he will have a point to prove if he were to move to us. I really think we could get the best out of him.

17 Aug 2016 06:56:12
I would take Jo Hart. The lad is a winner and we need that sort in the team. He's certainly not passed it and can still learn and improve.

If RK wants him then I'll trust he'll be good enough.

17 Aug 2016 08:03:50
I think an initial loan deal with option to buy would be the best option if we could get it. Guy was iffy in the euro's and I wonder how he'd cope with more shots reigning down on goal, certainly have more work to do playing for us than City.

17 Aug 2016 00:33:49
We are going to be head and shoulders above the rest if we get hart.

17 Aug 2016 08:44:20
He's always been a bit flaky in my opinion.
