Everton Banter

02 Jul 2022 08:39:36
Take over off, take over back on can only be Everton.

02 Jul 2022 10:53:54
Put your left takeover in, your right takeover out, shake it all about, we turned away your dollar bills to keep our doddering bills and that's what it's all about.


Just a bit of fun I have no idea if factually correct at time of posting;)

If Everton sign Lingard for 200k a week then they have learned nothing.

02 Jul 2022 06:41:55
Lingard on 100k a week over 3 years - 15 million- plus 5 million singing on fee would be fine. He probably is a 20 million player

Would be worth the risk - even if they added bonuses for winning things (not that we will again, it seems)

Anything over that and no, thanks, bye.

02 Jul 2022 08:00:24
Has to lower his wage demands. Our immediate future is out of contracts and frees. Hopefully the new DOF knows his stuff.

02 Jul 2022 09:48:31
In my opinion I think our wage structure is out of control. The only players getting anything like 100K a week should be our top stars so no Lingard on 100K for 3 years is not good value he would have little or no sell on value and little incentive to perform so may just be another Delph picking up wages with no real desire to play. If he was on say 50K basic with a 50K pay as you play/ win bonus then it might be worth it. We need to get away from 100K players that end up being mediocre performers providing very little to the team.

01 Jul 2022 23:08:45
Think Richy going is good for both him and the club, he was a very frustrating player, workhorse yes but head went too easy and strops, think set a negative vibe within team at times. For his career he needs to take that next step and Conte brilliant manager for him, just don't see it working tho and him forcing a regular start. Anyway good luck Richy, thanks for your effort and commitment especially back end of last season.

Do think tho now brings breath of fresh air and think will see Dom firing as never seemed hit it off Richy and Dom seemed a bit of bad vibe to me and clearly not good for club, done well get 60million for him, would like see us go for young lad at Hull Lewis Potter seems a exciting young talent, would love see us get Connor Gallagher in on a seasons loan as realistically we can't buy him, same with Zinchenco from City as think both vastly improve our midfield.

An area I would like us to address is RB as clear Coleman can't be expected to play week in week out and Paterson still young and unproven, like see us go in for wan bissaka as solid defender and a deal could be done there perhaps on a loan to buy.

I am relatively confident that Frank will make us a more confident and solid club going forward, I don't expect us breaking top 10 but think be a more comfortable and better feel about the season. Gordon is going to be massive for us next season and as much as people slate iwobi he may have found a manager that can get the player out of him that is clearly there. Really also hope Frank gives Simms and Dobbin a look in

Pickord
Wan Bissaka Tarkowski Godfrey Micky
Doucoure Gallagher/ Zinchencko Gordon Iwobi Gray
DCL.

I'd be happy with that. Here's hopefully to a better season and a start of a rebuild and rejuvenation 💪🙏💙.

02 Jul 2022 06:46:09
Mocker, I like most of your thinking apart from awb. Patterson is the way forward as rb.

Frank likes 343, so him and mickey as wing backs would work.

Still think if we could pick up bassey from rangers, Gallagher from Chelsea, Lewis Potter from Hull and Johnson from forest it would be a fantastic window.

Not sure about eriksen or lingard and we need to move a load more on, gomes, Allan (doesn't want to be here) , etc alongside the 5 or 6 who left after contracts ended.

02 Jul 2022 10:45:34
Yes take your point about Franks 343 and wan bissaka fitting in to that formation. Just think he would fit in well with a 4 at back and solidify us with tarkowski giving us a solid platform to work from hopefully, we need build confidence within the defence and team. It would be brilliant if Paterson can come in and hit the ground running but until given a chance RB remains a problem area that could again be our downfall along with a pedestrian midfield. Goes without saying but imperative we get off to a solid start and think putting a young unproven 19yr old at RB whilst trying to build confidence could be costly.

Totally agree about gomes, allan. Just hope Frank uses what little cash he as, maybe 30-40mill ish on astute signings at a guess and a couple of solid 1st 11 not squad fillers loanees ie Wan Bissaka and Gallagher or Zinchenko who will improve our first 11 and address our problem areas and not the likes of El Ghazi. 🤨.

01 Jul 2022 21:30:02
Is there a deadline for when Juventus have to meet their obligation to buy Keane?

01 Jul 2022 21:50:55
End of next season I believe.

01 Jul 2022 21:57:26
End of this season Is my understanding Revs.

01 Jul 2022 22:31:29
He joined Juventus on a 2yr loan deal with an obligation to buy at end of it.
That 2yr loan ends next season.

02 Jul 2022 00:17:16
End of next season. They are trying to offload him early mostly so they don't have to pay the 2mill second year loan fee and the fact he's crap.

01 Jul 2022 18:12:40
Hey guys heard that the peter kenyon takeover has fell through does this give the other parties interested able to make an offer? Its from my understanding if your in talks with a buyer the other parties are on hold.

01 Jul 2022 22:56:11
End of next season. But they want to move him on, so might pay up early so that they can either sell him or trade him.

01 Jul 2022 13:15:56
Lingard? May God make speed to save us.

01 Jul 2022 13:49:46
It just goes from bad to worse. Everton rejects we should be called. That’s all we seem to be linked with other clubs rejects. I’ve had enough of this crap now.

01 Jul 2022 14:28:09
Has he signed?

01 Jul 2022 14:57:16
Let’s hope not but nothing surprises me anymore. Rejects linked with us every day and l
Am sick of it. I don’t know about you guys but I’ve reached my limit with this crap. I’ve had enough of our club getting ruined every season it gets worse and worse.

01 Jul 2022 15:13:36
He done well at West Ham, we’re not going to get much better.

01 Jul 2022 15:41:10
Thing is, we’re a team fighting relegation now, not a team fighting for Europe. Don’t exactly have the same pull currently as we “maybe” once had.

01 Jul 2022 16:00:47
Unfortunately, the years of throwing cash around are gone, we all understand that. So why is it hard to comprehend that a player who is out of contract would be an attractive acquisition for those in charge? This is the table that we're eating from for the next couple of windows. There will be players that fans don't like, even more so than usual, but they will go a long way to helping us save money in the long run.
JL had premier League experience so he should settle in quickly enough. He was superb on loan at West Ham the other year but never got a chance to build on that at Utd. He could plug the gap left by Richarlison's departure and without an actual fee. It's either that or spend 20 or 30m that we haven't got. We need players in and quickly. For those who don't want this to happen, who do you want to come in that won't stretch out already limited resources?

01 Jul 2022 16:02:56
Aye I know it’s bad very very very bad. feel for frank a bet he wishes he didn’t take the job prob be an alcoholic by halloween. Did he know how bad things where when he became manager. This is bad another season of doom and gloom. Going to be a tough watch.

01 Jul 2022 16:43:16
Would not be on my list of players I’d want to sign.

But we all as fans have to realise how bad a situation we are in and that money is tight and free transfers and bargain basement buys is probably the way we will have to do business for the time being.

When you put into context, would you rather Lingard on a free or Dwight McNeil for £20m?

If getting lingard on a free means we can spend elsewhere then so be it.

01 Jul 2022 17:11:28
Wish you lot would all stop moaning. None of you have any idea what players we are looking to bring in. But hey let’s just keep moaning and moaning and moaning.

01 Jul 2022 17:48:05
Great post Woburn. It really is boring. So many negative people on here.

01 Jul 2022 18:02:58
Not allowed to say 'you lot' Woburnblue.

01 Jul 2022 18:12:28
Don't mind the moaning to an extent, Woburn. It's the lack of alternatives that those who moan never name that boils my peas mate. Easy to criticise without offering a sensible solution isn't it? Some of our fans must be on some quality prescriptions I reckon 😂.

01 Jul 2022 18:23:46
Sorry dfs what about miserable buggers?

01 Jul 2022 19:48:25
Just call them Cons.

01 Jul 2022 21:05:10
🤣🤣🤣🤣.

02 Jul 2022 00:21:41
Lingards effort at West Ham was the exception not the rule.
Did it to win a new contract at Utd hence why he didn't sign for West ham.
His form at utd is what we would get.
No resale value, high wages and signing on fee. What part of that sounds like a good deal?

02 Jul 2022 10:44:41
I'm past caring this player that player the other player not many linked names satisfy the gloom merchants on here.

The real sad truth as I see it is where going to have to prop this team up with free players, there's not a glut of youth and some of our youngsters that have played showed naivety and where not exactly a patient crowd.

Frank has his work cut out for him and hopefully he has final say on who he wants, we are going to struggle for a while yet.

01 Jul 2022 09:43:53
I think Richarlison leaving is a blow, really like him but it is not the end of the world.
Very good player but at 25 still blew a little hit and cold for me, I will always be grateful to the guy for how he had a major role in the last few weeks in keeping us up.
Spurs have got a good deal, Richarlison is playing European football and it helps us out with the FFP and hopefully now we have a little bit of wriggle room in the transfer market.
I think this has already been touched on but the emergence of Gordon over the last season makes me believe we have the ready made replacement, and think he has took a lot on board through Richarlison's work ethic and is beginning to look the real deal, hopefully he will keep progressing.
Maybe use him as a number 10 and look at Dwight Mcneill from Burnley, that would make me happy.
Definitely need some reinforcements in midfield though and another CF let's see what the next month or two have in store and enjoy the ride.

01 Jul 2022 10:13:24
We need to avoid McNeil at all costs, most shots lost season without a goal, no assists most crosses. He is not the man unfortunately. We need to go after a right sided player and let Gordon play in his natural position. For me alli and iwobi will be sufficient in the advanced midfielder role. Iwobi was probably more influential in the last 10 games than Richarlison, everyone is saying he scored 6 in 9 to keep us up but 3 of them were penalties and not one of them he won himself. Don’t get me wrong I love the kid think he’s amazing but he’s not on the levels lukaku was for us, arteta or even pienaar for that matter. Players come and go the club will still be there. We sold Rooney and ended up in Europe the following year so who knows what’s around the corner. A fully fit Dom will replace Richarlisons goals from last season and actually over us a presence up front where Richarlison never seemed fully comfortable for us.

01 Jul 2022 10:31:56
Agree with Bluetoff. We need a guarantee of output, in terms of goals/ assists and general creativity. We need to look in the European markets at players in teams who don't have the sway of europe to replace Richy imo.

Probably no chance of getting this guy but in a player in the form of a Berardi would be a great replacement.

01 Jul 2022 10:33:14
Really good post Kingpin - right up until you mentioned Dwight McNeil 🤦‍♂️.

01 Jul 2022 10:40:45
I believe there is a player there in McNeill, Lampard is good with young talent, I get where you are coming from Bluetoff but if anyone can get a good end product from him it is Lampard.
So to all our fellow blues, and Ed25 please, who do you want to bring in for this to be a successful window?

01 Jul 2022 10:50:10
Iwobie was more influential that Richie I don’t want to sound cheeky but iowbie is a terrible player he couldn’t lace Richarslon boots. You can’t even start to compare iowbie and Richie and if we have iwobie and Alli in our starting 11 next season then god help us. As for Gordon replacing Richie think again he isn’t that type of player and he needs to improve massively. I think Gordon is a good young player with a lot to learn but we can’t pin all our hopes on the wee lad as if he is messi that’s not fair we need to let him develop not put pressure on him to carry the whole team. I want iwobie out the door he is one of the worst players I’ve seen in years apart from John joe Kenny. iwobie no assists no goals he is useless needs to go.

01 Jul 2022 11:01:44
There might be, but they’ll want 25 million and I don’t think we should be spending that on him. Better going after Lewis potter but doubt we get him now. I’ll be honest I don’t know who I want, I’d take dennis from Watford very similar to Richarlison and matched his goals with no pens and stopped playing after Watford were stupid with him about the afcon, I like zinchenko believe he’d offer us something we don’t have. I do NOT want winks but let’s see. I’d take lingard (if the rumours are true) he will get us goals but stupid wages AGAIN. I think Patterson and Mykolenko will be impressive for us this year. For me it’s about getting the centre of midfield right. If we can sell mina and Gomes get 250 a week in wages gone and 10/ 15 mill in transfer fees in we’ve done well. Mina barely plays, Tarkowski in his place a captain will help. Gomes never plays ever and davies coming back who’s only 24 hopefully lampard gets him playing he has a very similar skill set to Gilmour who lampard likes so let’s see. I’m hoping Thelwell looks in Portugal. Marcus edwards looks a player. And then madueke and gakpo both in Holland look good but I’d be wary of that market never worked out for us before!

01 Jul 2022 11:35:56
Avoid McNeil at all costs for me one footed player who would demand a high transfer fee how about Gordon on the right Gray on the left and play Ali off Lewin after all Ali looked at his best playing off a target man.

01 Jul 2022 11:36:28
Iwobi no assists or goals? Okay so that 1-0 win against Newcastle when it mattered most who scored? The win against Leicester who crosses the ball? Iwobi was massive for us in the run in, I never rated him but he gave his all for the club in the last few months, and right now he’s our player so let’s back what we’ve got eh?

01 Jul 2022 11:54:13
Go all out to get Lingaard. Him, Gray and Gordon behind Dom, Alli and Townsend in the mix, not that awful. Really need another striker though.

01 Jul 2022 12:01:02
He is woeful. One match he scored one goal what about the other 37 matches and the other 3 seasons he is pure crap. Honestly if you think he is a good player well then fair play but your seeing something I can’t see. I see an absolute onion who doesn’t score and doesn’t create anything. How many assists has he had since he joined us. Go and look it up think it’s 2 goals he scored and a couple of assists in how many seasons. Aye great player he is why don’t we build the team around him and fat alli. Told you alli has lost his hunger for football only thing he hungry for now is cheeseburgers. Two goats they are.

01 Jul 2022 12:34:15
I never said he’s what we want. But he gave his all for us when it mattered the most and didn’t shy away. If you think Richarlison is world class you’re mistaken, if he was world class he wouldn’t be going to Tottenham. I’ll say it again Lukaku was harder to replace. I don’t get why you’re spinning the alli vibe no one has mentioned him. And again, without alli we don’t bear palace, instead of being so negative why don’t you try and look positively at what’s happening. We need to build and it’s the right way to do it, if we kept Richarlison another season he had a year to go and we’d have got next to nothing for him. I hope when alli and iwobi perform well next season in games, and they score and everyone celebrates around you that you stay seated considering you clearly don’t support them. The club matters more but back every player make them feel loved and they’ll give you 10% more.

01 Jul 2022 13:56:04
Jb not that awful. What you said sounds bloody awful. Lingard Ali gray and Gordon Townsend in behind sick note. If this happens lamps won’t last 6 weeks. That team sounds horrendous.

01 Jul 2022 14:42:03
Na mate alli and iwobie are pure crap. If you think otherwise then I would say where have you been living the last 4 years on the moon. Have you not been watching football. They are two of the worst players consistently for 4 years now. We are a joke now these players use us for a wage and we let them. Now lingarrd holy moly what’s next. We will never learn reject after reject.

{Ed077's Note - Lingard may not be the best player in the world but he is much better than Alli and Iwobi.

01 Jul 2022 14:49:54
All of those players, bar one, already play for us.
You’re in for a rough old season pal!

01 Jul 2022 14:22:15
Con have a day off with all the negativity mate fs the season hasn't started and your already in need of a prozac sandwich.

01 Jul 2022 15:14:11
Aye he is a bit better Edd I will give you that but not much and let’s be honest it wouldn’t take much to be better than them 2 muppet’s. Someone said let’s love them and they will give an extra 10% well they try about 10% so if they give 10% more if we love them then that’s only 20% what about the other 80%. Lingarrd is below average and alli and iwobie are below useless. Think the words we need to describe iwobie and alli is absolute Ian Wright. Sorry lads I’ve had enough of this rubbish.

01 Jul 2022 16:19:17
Need more than Prozac in my sandwiches listening to all the crap on here about rubbish players being good why can’t we just be honest for god sake they are ruining our great club and you think what cheering them on is going to help. I won’t be happy until we sort our club out. we need someone in the club to open their bloody eyes and sort this out. Truth hurts sometimes am sorry but closing your eyes and hoping it all goes away will never fix anything. Sorry for being negative but I can’t see anything positive. same crap different day.

01 Jul 2022 17:06:52
Mate no disrespect but your posts are like a kick in the balls, who do u think is going to change things on these pages I'm all for calling a spade a spade but it's every post surely to God there's something or someone your positive about at the club.

01 Jul 2022 18:15:32
When the season starts I will get behind the team as I always do. Everton are Just ripping my heart out at the min I long for the day things are different. suppose we are all in the same boat aren’t we could be worse we could support Man Utd. I keep telling the kids couple more years and things will be different just don’t know how long I can keep telling them that before they start thinking I am spoofing.

01 Jul 2022 18:22:53
I feel ya mate and its understandable, we all want the same thing a decent team competing, and it's hard sometimes after we've been so terrible and badly run for years.

01 Jul 2022 22:40:10
Con81, if you are making arguments about certain players please make sure you spell their name right as it just makes you look like a ****!

01 Jul 2022 23:07:40
There’s not a decision that’s been made or a suggestion you agree with con. Your expectation that we can go out and buy world class players with no money and no European football is nonsensical. We’re in the position of needing to recruit affordable players that are an upgrade on what we have. Lingard is that.
Whilst positivity alone will not win us games, slagging every player and staff member every minute of every day is just depressing and boring, if it’s so awful, don’t bother.
