Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

01 Jun 2013 23:36:05
Sunday people reporting Ralph could be our new man with him giving either Stubbs, wier or Neville a mangers job at one of his two other clubs. Grooming then for future efc mangers job. Kenwright very impressed with Ralph.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hard not to be impressed really. Compared to Martinez and Pereira the man is on the next level.

Rangnick can't even be compared to Martinez and Pereira experience wise, in fact, probably has more experience than those two combined. He has won a trophy or two in his time at Schalke (and numerous promotions with lower league sides), has European experience, knowledge in the transfer market, doesn't really need a DoF, can work on a budget, gives youngster a chance, tactically is very good.

The perfect package for me, the one major worry would be his health but hopefully, since he got interviewed he thinks he is over his illness. Cannot believe more people are talking about him as the next Everton manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jun 2013 23:19:02
Sunday people reckon rangnich is going to be football director with weir as manager, operating under his guidance. not what I was expecting but shows that BK is considering every option available. strategy must be to get an experienced guy, who loves Everton. since that person is now with Man Utd, it seems he may opt for this compromise. which ain't a cheap option. for all the doubters out there. but one I am certainly open to. jlaff

Believable0 Unbelievable0

They never said that they said that he may be the manager and train Weir,

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok. I have nasty habit of speed reading and clearly called that wrong. jlaff

01 Jun 2013 23:05:19
To be honest I'm not to sure which one bk will choose out of the three we're hearing about but one thing I am sure of is who ever the lucky man may be he will be welcomed with open arms (and minds) are fans are not like Chelsea fans were far from it we have class and like I say who ever it may be we will back 100%. LIAM!

Kevin Keegan to be named manager Monday with Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle as assistants.
They put their names in the hat after they'd had enough of Felli's afro and wanted to bring back the Mullet, especially after wash and go wanted to put Money in to our mighty blues.
Sorry couldn't resist given all the dead certs we've had for manager.

Once BK has chosen his preferred candidate, following a sensible period of interviews and evaluation, the finalisation of negotiations will surely require a further few days. So, even if BK made his mind up on Friday, it'd surely take the rest of the weekend to tie things up. It's not only the manager's contract, but also the terms of any compensation payment, the changes in back room staff (incoming and outgoing), disclosure of current players' contracts and who wants to stay or go at this stage, the pre-season arrangements, etc. , etc. The idea that the new manager would sign before having a satisfactory understanding of the overall situation, warts and all, at the club - some details of which would clearly be sensitive and have to remain confidential until he has committed in principle to joining - just doesn't make sense these days. Everton Football Club is a multi-million pound business and BK is showing appropriate due diligence. Anyone who accuses him and the club of taking too long are IMHO letting their impatience get the better of them. {Ed025's Note - good, and fair post that jonesy...well done mate..

Jones. spot on. Have to admit I ain't a BK hater, although reports on him make me frustrated at him at times. however I have to see he has shown great character and acute business sense on this one.

Exactly mate which is what annoyed me about moyes I mean last day of the season guaranteed 6th and he plays a full strength team why not give the youngsters a go? Because he sticks to his favourites and this is why barkley seems so scared when he comes on because one mistake and he won't be in the squad for another 6 weeks if i'm honest we are at least in the top 5 teams in the league in terms of how good our young players are and how good they become I have high hopes for john lundstram especially but also john stones, george green, chris long, matthew kennedy, ross barkley, ben mclaughlin (who people seem to have forgotten about), jake bidwell and hallam hope all of these can become good premier league players lundstram and green can even become world class imo so I hope who ever the new manager is he will give them a chance I don't mean every game but the cup games even if it's just 2 or three at a time as long as they get some game time or loan them out to a top championship or low to midtable premier league team but moyes would not do any of these things and has left some rotting in the reserves like duffy and mcaleny who are nearly 21!

Agree0 Disagree0

Duffy played 3 times last season an got man of match in 2, shows how good he is

Agree0 Disagree0

Correct blueskittle. It annoys me when the media trot out the line about moyes giving youth a chance, no he didn't its a total myth. Rooney, he inherited then was sold, Rodwell hardly played, when he did it was a square peg round hole situation, hence him getting injured at villa the other season playing wide right. Barkley he's had more loans than me from the bank, rarely played, and when he did and tried to do something off the cuff he had moyes and round screaming at him from the touchline. Then you wouldn't see him again in the squad for weeks, no wonder the lads confidence was shot. Velios the invisible man of everton, rumour has it he upset moyes with his attitude. wouldn't you have an attitude when every week victor gets picked ahead of you, I know I would. The lads done well in all his rare cameo appearances. Then you have all these young lads out on loan, or playing elsewhere and starring for whoever ok some may not be good enough for the prem but with better coaching and without being given a chance we will never find out {Ed025's Note - they are all fair points jimmy..

Firstly Ed. How much rubbish is being posted on here! I'm sure this site is for Evertonians (and Kopites who closet view) with genuine information. I'd rather not trawl through 'My best mates cousins dad said. '

The current situation with our club is one of excitement and fear. I am currently more fearful than excited! If we do select Martinez then backing him collectively is vital.

All Evertonians are entitled to opinion Ed and that's important for the greater good of our club, but posting transfer dross on here is pants, attention seeking and frankly Kopite esq.

For the anti Martinez brigade. Before you sharpen your knives many many Evertonians cannot with certainty say who they really want at the helm. For me Martinez has premiership experience and has worked on a very tight budget. In fact he shows a net profit of almost 17 million whilst at Wigan.

Martinez instilled at Swansea what Rodgers & Laudrup have taken over. Yes, he has taken Wigan down and that is worrying but on the budget he had at Wigan (even less than Everton) that was a losing battle. Some gems exist at Wigan so I do think he can improve us.

Sorry Ed. Rant over!

Toffeebidder {Ed02g5's Note - {Ed025's Note -good post that bidder, and i agree with all you say mate, whoever we employ will be a gamble, i just hope whoever it is, is not put a long contract, newcastle have no way out with pardew, who has an 8yr contract, we need to reassess things if the guy we pick is a lemon, i dont want us stuck with a bad choice, just because it would cost too much to sack him!, if he does well, there will always be room to extend the contract..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Jun 2013 22:50:21
A good post and a sensible reply from ed. Biggest problem I got with Martinez is (and it's probably not his fault) you cannot and must not reward failure. Now if you look at his time at Wigan his PL performance was worst than the guy they sacked before him! Forget FA Cup we won it with our 'Dogs or War' against Utd but in all honesty we should have lost 3-1 that day and would have done without Southall.
Sorry but let's for once in our lives be a 'risk taker' and go for it- If Martinez is appointed we will be where we deserve to be, we will not attract players of the quality that we can get if there is hope of Champions League, and please don't come up with the usual, we can't afford them, not every club in the Champions League Has Rooney and Messy etc. Come on guys and girls (oh God that sounded Jimmy Savillish) I hate the expression but Martinez? 'Look out the Box'. VP for me!

Agree0 Disagree0

Whoever we take on is going to be a gamble really, but when has it ever been different? From the days of Howard Kendal, a player manager in the old 2nd Division with little experience, he came good. Mike Walker an "outside the box" Choice that nearly got us relegated, Walter Smith, loads of experience and silverware that flopped big time. David Moyes, I remember the kopite's at work going to town on the day he was appointed, "You only signed him as he knows the Championship and can get you back up. " As it looked like we were going down that year.

Now, thanks to BK's choice (his first and only managerial appointment so far) we are all sat here talking of managers who are "not good enough for Everton. " Some of which we would have ripped their arm off to sign 11 years ago.

Sure BK is taking his time, good on him for that, we have to trust in him to do right by the club, and let's face facts, the only other time he has had to choose a manager for the club he took on someone who was not everyone's first choice, but managed to turn us from relegation fodder to a top 6 team, give the man some credit and remember if nothing else Bill loves this club just as much as any of us do. {Ed025's Note - well said mate..

Howard
Coleman. jags. dragovic. baines
Fellaini
Mirallas. Fer. Ince
Grameiro jela

Subs
Springthorpe
Stones
Distan
Gibbo
Atsu/sinclair
Barkley
Cornelious

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If I had a choice of players I'd love benteke to become a blue!

Agree0 Disagree0

Cornelious and Sinclair aren't good enough and you wouldn't drop piennar for ince

Agree0 Disagree0

Distins better than dragovic

Agree0 Disagree0

Imo Darron Gibson should always be our holding midfielder - far too good not to be in our starting eleven irrespective who we recruit in the summer

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said fancy

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we need a proper defensive anchor, like Fellaini, and Gibson to partner him. When those two played in the last few games of the season together, especially the Chelsea game, thought Gibson looked so dangerous.

For me, he can play a similar role to that of what Modric did for Spurs, of course, Gibson isn't as good as Modric, but he can still do the job effectively as that deep lying playmaker to start our attacks

Agree0 Disagree0

1) I think you mean Kevin Gameiro
2) There's a very real possibility that we won't be going in for Atsu, Sinclair, Gameiro, Fer, Ince & Dragovic because they were Moyes targets and Moyes isn't here anymore. Why can't people understand that?

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jun 2013 17:57:36
Really starting to worry regarding Martinez as manager with what I'm reading in the papers as to what players he's wanting to bring from Wigan. The only players what should be considered are McCarthy and mcmanaman no others remotely good enough and hopeing bill has told him this

Jacko316

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Jacko it's a cliche, but its just paper talk. Martinez, or whoever the manager is will bring in players that they believe will be competition for the current team or are known to be better. which rules out most of the Wigan side. just paper talk. jlaff

Agree0 Disagree0

Hearing he could want to bring Jordi Gomez with him, he took him from Swansea to Wigan as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't believe the papers. If the papers are right we are losing half our squad to United and replacing them with Wigan players.

If Martinez does get the job, he might bring in 1, but that will be it.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jun 2013 17:33:57
I don't think we need that much to compete for top four and cups:
GK: young back up to Howard if mucha goes
DEF: young left sided CB if heitinga goes
MID: a gibsonesque player as we suffer when he's out plus a AM so we can move felli back
ATT: 20+ goals a season man and another winger/forward like mirrales

Really going to get rid of osman when he's just signed a new deal.

1878barlow

Agree0 Disagree0

What a load of tripe. Heitinga maybe, but Osman has just signed a new contract, Vellios deserves another chance this season, how people can say get rid of Oviedo is beyond me as he's hardly played! As for Naismith he has been poor this season but I think we should give him one more season in his best position behind the striker if he fails to impress move him on next summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree why Osman when he has just signed, but competition should be bought. And what's wrong with Oviedo, he has not been given a chance, lay off.
Patsyblue

Agree0 Disagree0

Vellios and Oviedo deserve a chance
Osmans a good squad player
Naismith and heitinga can go though

Agree0 Disagree0

Joe absolutely correct mate. heitinga a maybe. bit Ozzie. no chance. I'd like to see velios given more of a run tbh, and Oviedo. both look like they could be decent players. given the opportunity. And according to Ed 007 Naismith was dominant when he played at rangers. prior to his injury. Jlaff

No name I see your clueless mate vellios deserves another chance I want osman to go but unfortunatly he just signed a new deal oviedo has hardly played and when he has played he's looked very impressive imo and naismith deserves one more year

I don't want Martinez to go to Everton, he's just not good enough. I want Vitor Pereira to be the new manager.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Martinez will do a good job if he comes in which now looks very likely. I think we will play better attacking football and Jags, Distin and co aren't just going to forget how to defend so we should be fine defensively and much more potent up front all in all making us a better side IMO.

Agree0 Disagree0

I just don't get this Pereira hype and the Martinez bashing. Yes, Pereira has an impressive league record, but he manages PORTO! His Europe and cup form has been poor and some Porto fans are upset with him over that. He doesn't even deal with transfers, which isn't a good thing for us, since the Everton manager has total control over that type of stuff and we need to get it right. And his pre-Porto CV is pretty poor if you ask me.

I would support Pereira if he got the job, but I just don't understand his popularity, the vast, and I mean vast majority of people who want Pereira have little to no idea of his management as they wouldn't of followed Porto the past 2 years, is it because of his league form? People do realise, it isn't that simple right? To me, Pereira would just be as big of a gamble as Martinez would be as Everton manager.

I am not bashing Pereira or supporting Martinez, for me, Rangnick would be the man, his job at Schalke, but especially Hoffenheim was absolutely brilliant

I'd personally sell and get 2/3 good players in.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Jun 2013 13:41:18
Keep him. He has saved us numerous times. His image puts us on the map at times - its a long time since we had a player that helps promote the league. He is a great player, and despite what some people think he is grafter. The Wigan game was a game that people keep remembering, but not remembering the positives. Manchester United didn't get to where they are now by selling their best players. Having good players attracts good players!

Agree0 Disagree0

Forget 2 or 3 good players Fellaini is world class and world class players turn games and win cups

Agree0 Disagree0

I think that will give a poor impression to the new manager to see player training prior to his arrival.

Toffee ace

No. at the start of last season he was incredible IMO, I would rather we built a team with him right in the centre where he belongs. jlaff

Agree0 Disagree0

I have a mate in belguim, 99% of people there had never heard of everton until he signed, when he signed so many people took notice of everton and a lot over there started watching us and now even more super kev is here, they are great for expanding our club across europe! keep felli

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jun 2013 12:20:19
Call me a cynic but the fact that there are three in the frame would suggest to me that BK is not convinced who he wants. I will quantify that statement by referring to Stoke. Hughes was according to Peter Coates the outstanding stand alone applicant. What happened?! They set their sights on him, interviewed him and low and behold he got the job. Nobody else in the frame. If Martinez is the ultimate target of BK why doesn't he offer him the job? I think it may not be as cut and dried as the media and bookies would suggest. Fez

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think that Bill is taking this appointment very seriously. It may be that there is a bigger budget and that is affecting the decision making process.

He's also keenly aware that he will incur a bigger problem from the fans if this appointment is wrong than he had with the badge fiasco.

If it takes another week to find the person to take us forward then fine by me.

Toffee ace

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we have to say well done to BK for doing a thorough job and not just the medias man {Ed025's Note - i agree..

Agree0 Disagree0

If Hughes was the "outstanding stand alone applicant", it doesn't say much for Stokes ability to attract top quality managers.

Popeye

Agree0 Disagree0

Given Bill`s background this was never going to be straightforward. Where would the theatrics be in a simple straightforward appointment? He`smilking the limelight, playing the media circus, building to an unforgetable finale, or maybe he just can`t make up his mind. You have to concede tho` we haven`t had this much excitement for a while. Vito for manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why are people talking about stoke. mark Hughes is not mgmt material. he's right there with red knapp. kenright is doing the right thing. stokes decision shows that they are content to just remain in the prem. but that ain't guaranteed with Hughes as manager. jlaff

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm sure the appointment process is more in-depth then "I like you, you're appointed. " Personal terms, ambitions and guidelines have to be ironed out, and I'm sure that Bk is doing a very thorough job.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Looks good 2 players for every position the only question is Martinez or perira to make those signings not that will ever happen but we can dream

Agree0 Disagree0

No it really wouldn't. Far too many changes for me in one season and I most definately would keep Fellaini. McCarthy wouldn't even get in our team. One of Wigans better players but we are Everton (and we finished at the other end of the Premiership!)

Agree0 Disagree0

It not that many changes only defour, atsu and Honda in the first team. plus you can't discount players because they play for teams below us. lastly we should sell felliani now while his price is high as that's what we have to do as a skint club.

Agree0 Disagree0

So the one real area we need strength you leave the same, STRIKERS!

Agree0 Disagree0

We cannot replace Fellaini with McCarthy. McCarthy plays the Gibson role effectively, we need someone with a bit of a physical presence so we don't get ran all over in midfield, someone like a Fer, N'Zonzi or Capoue.

Personally, playing McCarthy and Gibson together would be a mistake

Agree0 Disagree0

I think jelavic might hit form next season plus the op's midfield has goals in it

Agree0 Disagree0

Great last post splash cash on good striker we need someone to get us 20+ goals to take us to next level

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely defour replaces felliani in this squad and mcarthy fights Gibson for the passer role

Agree0 Disagree0

I can fix this
Ins:
Lukaku (loan)

Agree0 Disagree0

"we should sell Fellaini". what a load of tosh. If we don't have to sell him then No we really shouldn't, he's class and if you want to progress in the Premiership then surely you don't start getting rid of your best players!

Dog Puke Peter

Agree0 Disagree0

Yep Lukaku on loan would be a great fix. Then a couple of signings ( who won't walk into our team whoever they are anyway ) and I can see us catching, and possibly overtaking the likes of Arsenal/Tottenham.

Personally I think they will use this world cup as an experience and target the following euros and the world cup after that. remember they are all fairly young still. like I said use this world cup as an experience of a big tournament.

Just been listening to big nev on a web site. Good interview, spoke a lot of sense. he's not to sure if RM is the right man for the job, but if it is him we should all back him and get behind him. Nev seems to favour someone whos won something, "someone whos won league titles" (does he know something we all don't?) He also mentioned the badge debacle and praised the 22 thousand who petitioned about it. Went on to say just what it means to evertonians to be winning things etc. As I was saying it was a good interview, just thought i'd share this seeing as i'm bored sh**less with no football, and no news on the manager front as yet. Come that announcement ed your going to go into meltdown I imagine, or should I say your fingers will. {Ed025's Note - tell me about it jimbo..

I'm confused. From the day it was announced that Moyes was leaving Neil Lennon has been in the top 3/4 favourites for Everton job. I'm aware you shouldn't take too much notice of betting odds but even since the "final 3" names were put forward he's still there! I don't think for a minute he'll get the job but others clearly do. What am I missing. Enlighten me please guys.

what to do today with no football? next few months are going to drag. at least we have excitement around our new manager and hopefully an exciting transfer window. otherwise I may have resorted to cheering on andy murray!

Baines stating how good a manager Martinez is.

If players have respect for him that's half the battle.

That's a good start AW, bainesy never played for Martinez. But if the best left back in the country can endorse you like that, it speaks volumes.

Don't you love how these " in the know " people are all saying different things. Look, no one knows who the next manager will be, no one knows who or it any players are coming or going so please just stop making yourselves look like persons and giving some of the more naive fans false hope. You know sweet fa and never will unless u are part of the board. Dave {Ed025's Note - thats true dave, only BK knows mate..

My concern is that this weekend we've missed a chance to max out the publicity in the saturday and sunday papers. As there's not as much happening this weekend. I know its cynical thinking but its how we need to operate in this big bad world!

We all know why there is no new manager yet. Same reason there are only signings at the end of the window. If we got them in now Bill will have to pay there wages over the summer. Tight fisted geet {Ed025's Note - i think we should give the guy a break mate..he has gone through this process with great diligence, and i have faith that he will deliver the best candidate..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think it is about time you got of Bill's back, I reckon he is doing a great job in not rushing into a quick solution for manager and if any of the reports are accurate the group mentioned including BIESLA are all capable of taking us to the next stage. regarding transfers surely you would want the new manager to assess the squad and select who he wants? It has nothing to do with being tight fisted.

Quite a few people want us to just hand someone a contract and get it over with but that's just stupid why rush it? I for one would rather we take our time and get the right man than rush into things and get the wrong man

If RM was BK's first choice then why doesn't he offered him the job now, there are no restrictions and other Spanish clubs have shown an interest in him. My opinion is he's waiting on VP's decision about the Porto contract he's been offered and is mulling over, decision expected end of next week according to www.abola. pt. I think RM is his fallback option if VP decides to stay at Porto. So basically BK's hands are tied until VP makes his decision. As I said in a previous post last week the longer it goes on the more likely it is that it's VP.
