Everton banter 10

23 Oct 2025 11:39:02
I see Chelsea had three teenagers score in their Champions league match last night with Ajax, c'mon Davey time to oust Beto and give one or two of our youngsters a chance.

23 Oct 2025 13:38:10
3 teenagers levels above anyone we have, all of whom have first team experience at the top level prior. This is not the same as calling up some random 17 year old from our academy.

23 Oct 2025 14:59:28
Chelsea pay good money for the best teenagers in the World, their academies are bulging, and these lads have played in top divisions across Europe before coming through. Something to aspire to, but as Swan says, age is not the factor here.

23 Oct 2025 16:14:28
GB it has been explained on here already. We don't currently have strikers with the physicality needed to cope with Prem CB's. Just look at Barry, money so far wasted on a twig.

23 Oct 2025 16:38:58
Love it dms, that made me chuckle mate.

23 Oct 2025 16:59:50
Madly, that's the first time that Chelsea haven't had a ln academy graduate named in the match day squad for a few years. These youngsters were all bought in rather than come through their academy system.

It won't happen but I would also like to see one of the youngsters given some game time, even off the bench. Can't be any worse than the two up top right now, they aren't pulling up trees are they? Barry, however, should be given time to settle in. Better, on the other hand, has shown he isn't up to this level and standard of football.

23 Oct 2025 17:52:10
My point exactly bluepotato they cannot be any worse that those two we have.

23 Oct 2025 17:55:08
Really need to do two things before I actually press send.

1) make sure I'm wearing me specs
2) check over what I write to prevent auto correct from screwing me over ??.

23 Oct 2025 19:12:45
Well, yes GB, they couldn’t do much worse that’s true enough.

23 Oct 2025 20:06:32
We will never know unless we try, enough chances for for our regular striker let’s give one or two of the younger lads a go.

23 Oct 2025 09:19:44
Press now trying to sell Ndiaye! ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️. They really hate us doing well don't they!

23 Oct 2025 11:11:49
Only because Spurs are playing us this weekend, good stuff other Teams want our players, we have two forwards for sale at a good price.

23 Oct 2025 11:32:22
Well we are considered to be a feeder club for the big clubs. Until we get back into Europe and at least have a chance at winning a cup that will continue. Ndiaye will stay in the winter transfer window and it is up to the manager and players to give us optimism for next season so that we can both retain our best players and recruit more good ones.

The tactic of giving improved contracts to our best players can only help to keep them happy.

Big Franc scored another brace in 60 mins the other day. Quality finishes too. We would be stupid not to go in for him in Jan.

22 Oct 2025 17:27:23
? Big Franc, Beto believe it.

Reading that JB needs a hamstring operation and will have a prolonged spell recuperating, hope he gets well as soon as possible.

22 Oct 2025 01:04:44
He gave a really positive message after surgery.
He just needs to be patient and not rush back too soon.
If his hamstring was the constant cause of his injuries then an op was the best cure. I just wish he'd had it done in May.

20 Oct 2025 15:21:41
With the news Branthwaite will be having surgery to hopefully finally solve this problem with his hamstring, we have to move O'Brien to centre back and play Garner at right back. I don't think Moyes will, sadly, I think he'll stick to the current back 4.

Garner at right back gives us another option going forward, his end ball is great and his legs can manage the 90 minutes easily, play Rohl next to Gueye, Garner at RB allows Ndiaye another option and not feeling so isolated. That has to be the way forward for me.

20 Oct 2025 18:06:10
I think it forces DM’s hand slightly, we will have to buy a RB in Jan now, can’t see us signing a no.9 though as a result.

{Ed025's Note - according to his last prezzer David seems to think Beto is doing a good job Swinners, it takes all sorts i suppose mate..

20 Oct 2025 19:42:46
Blimey Ed have a word mate.

21 Oct 2025 00:06:57
What RB can we buy? Or even loan? We can have one more domestic loan but I don’t think Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs or anyone has a spare right back to lend us.

21 Oct 2025 14:15:19
Isn’t that what we have scouts for?

{Ed025's Note - our scouts need to go to "specsavers" BMD..

21 Oct 2025 19:25:11
Not in January, this isn't Woolly's. Clubs in Jan tend to hold on to what they have unless some mug (Everton as was) come along with open cheque book.

21 Oct 2025 20:00:45
Agree with original post, Garner at rb for me. Rohl, Dewsbury-hall, Tim, Alcaraz can all operate next to Gana.

21 Oct 2025 20:39:08
All except Tim (at the moment) , not quite at it.

21 Oct 2025 21:10:49
Juanlu Sánchez - Seville. Linked in the summer but reportedly didn't fancy us due to Napoli interest. Could that change now we are a much better proposition.

Jon Aramburu - Sociedad. Busy and tenacious and literally never stops. Closest thing to a young, fit and healthy Seamus. Signed a new deal until 2030, so likely to cost £15/ 20 mill minimum.

Arnau Martínez - Girona. Calm and assured. Adept at defending and attacking. Would be a quality signing but may be picked up by a bigger club. I think Arsenal were in for him in the summer.

Those three would be my preferred options but appreciate it is Jan and likely to have to spend on a striker given how poor the 2 we have are.

Omar El Hilali - Espanyol. Linked in summer but he may be the most costly of any of them with Espanyol reportedly wanting £25/ 30m.

Ángelo Preciado - Prague. Much better than what we have and would be available for very cheap.

Kyriani Sabbe 20 - Club Brugge. Absolutely rapid and very attacking. Decent technique and can actually cross a ball. His team mate Joaquin Seys is also worth a look. Hard to tell which side he is actually better on, as he can cover both flanks as good as the other.

Martim Fernandes - Porto. Composure in abundance. Great feet and comfortable cutting in on his left peg, although may be not best suited to us with Nidaye wanting to do the same.

Josh Acheampong - Chelsea getting defenders back so a domestic loan could be an option. Appreciate he is primarily a CB but can play there comfortably.

There are definitely RB's out there and we could get them in Jan if we were willing.

22 Oct 2025 01:07:25
Bloody hell BlueNose, you definitely need to be our chief scout.

22 Oct 2025 07:24:57
Don’t get too excited WT - until Dibling starts influencing games (positively) I’m holding back on BN’s endorsements….

22 Oct 2025 14:48:44
4 minutes against Liverpool away.
9 minutes against West Ham.
A half against Palace, with a “RB” that gets a nose bleed if he crosses the half way line and when literally every single player in the 11 bar Pickford were abysmal.
4 against City away - 2 down.

62 minutes of football across 6 games.

He has arguably the best player in our team ahead of him and rather than backing him and having patience with a 19 year old kid, you are more concerned with me being wrong.

? Bizarre behaviour honestly.

22 Oct 2025 19:13:25
Grealish at 19 was having a fairly average loan at Notts County

Writing Dibbling off already, or even worse, wanting him to fail, is just very weird.

22 Oct 2025 22:09:51
Not writing him off. Just sprinkling a bit of reality into the conversation.

We need players who can influence games now. Spending £60m on players that might come good is a big risk when we have historic issues in certain positions.

Only winding you up BN. I hope he comes good. What Evertonian doesn’t? I would, however, like to see us get in one or two more who can do a job and we know is decent like KDH and Grealish. I’ve not heard of those on your list and we’ve already taken a punt on an unknown LB.

23 Oct 2025 08:22:04
More than understandable BR. I am totally with you on that as well.

Those above are much further along in their careers than young Aznou. I suspect Moyes and Baines will have him in the gym, as I have seen more meat on a sparrows knee cap.

20 Oct 2025 12:07:13
I no this has nothing to do with Everton, but the Forrest owner seems to be on the same lines as our last owner, clueless, why did they even give the fat Aussie the job in the first place, nearly got spurs relegated, won a tin pot cup that most prem side should win with what's actually in the comp, now dyche is fav to go there, haven't they looked at the crap he caused at Everton with his hard yards ect, then Moyes comes in and shows what a fraud he actually was .

20 Oct 2025 13:27:59
If you want some interesting reading. Go to Marinakis’ Wikipedia page and scroll down to “controversies. ”

How he has passed the fit and proper persons test, God only knows!

20 Oct 2025 16:25:41
Thought there would be post's from your good selves about the appointment of Dyche at Forest (one R", at the moment it's looking desperate, only forward thinking from Marinakis is if we go down Dyche is good at getting out of the Championship ?.
Good luck for rest of season until you play us! .

20 Oct 2025 18:40:35
As a Everton fan from Nottingham I feel sorry for you guys appointing Dyche and his cronies.

20 Oct 2025 20:14:14
I have a friend from Nottingham, last year you couldn't shut him up, Forest this Forest that. I did warn him that it would be difficult keeping up with the big clubs but had no idea the bottom would fall out so quickly. Another owner who thinks that they are better than the hired staff, sack a good Manager who gets them high up in the league and then the rapid decline. Hope you don't get relegated and definitely hope that you get a better manager than Dyche.

20 Oct 2025 21:57:08
Nino had them playing good football. Feel sorry for Forest fans don’t think they will be seeing much attacking football from now on.

21 Oct 2025 00:37:31
Dyche will keep them up but, he won't reach Europe so, will be sacked as soon as Europe is out of reach. Another big pay day for Sean. All those years I spent in industry. Where did I go wrong?

21 Oct 2025 01:20:57
Thanks for your replies, looks like Dyche will be the new coach!, the negatity in his appointment is palable ?.

21 Oct 2025 08:16:34
Youse have got a good team Nottingham and I wish youse well this season but honestly dyche will play the one ball tactic which is boot the ball to chris wood and hold it for other players to run forward he won't change tactics during games he has his favourite people in substitutes ie Ashley young for us and when it goes tits up he will blame the board never blames himself he only got away with it at everton cause moshiri went awol he won't do it at forest cause you're chairman will just sack him do my personal opinion think Marco silva or airola at Bournemouth would been good appointments.

21 Oct 2025 14:17:00
McNeal off to Forest then?

21 Oct 2025 17:42:54
Yes please BMD.
