Everton banter 10

24 Oct 2025 14:42:03
Any of the Eds give us an update regarding the financial state the club is in please.

Have the new owners steadied the ship or did our summer spending set us back. Purely curious to see if we have any wiggle room come January.

Cheers
Everton the gear.

{Ed025's Note - i think player wise we were up to the limit Jimbo, but im not sure if the sale of Goodison to the ladies team has given us a bit of wiggle room mate..

24 Oct 2025 20:21:43
A certain ED (watching from the 'whatever you believe in') , would say stop worrying about what you don't understand.

24 Oct 2025 23:23:39
I'll stop worrying about our striker situation dmsblues. because I can't understand why we didn't buy a decent one lol.

25 Oct 2025 05:52:47
Could write a whole new thesis on that Dentielad, set it up as a study the Gov will pay you millions.

25 Oct 2025 07:32:14
You can structure deals to spread cost these days, plus the sale of Goodison and naming rights should have improved our position. Feels like we have an astute team in charge now, finally, and they must be looking at our team and thinking wed be in the top 6 if we had a decent striker.

25 Oct 2025 08:44:30
I still don't understand which scout thought Barry was a good signing, if you watched the unde 21s he did nothing, on the other hand the lad who is now at Newcastle making a name for himself was fantastic, was this scout the same scout who thought beto was good enough because if it is he needs sacking.

25 Oct 2025 09:43:41
Could've been worse least we didn't spend 120 million on some Newcastle player.

25 Oct 2025 20:32:47
We could of had woltenmade for 30 million at start of summer. Then as Newcastle were desperate for a striker, they paid over double that we could of had him for. Then again there's no guarantees he would score for us.

24 Oct 2025 13:15:14
Big weekend coming up and we welcome Spurs, going for a win as usual and this time a good win, Spurs we're mighty lucky against Monaco in midweek and can thank their Goalkeeper, Jack and Ndiaye to seal the win for us.

24 Oct 2025 18:06:27
Vicario has been very dodgy this season so the Monaco game was hopefully a one off, we need to pressure them with set pieces. Romero will be out, Spence and Udogie are very quick but can be frustrated, fingers crossed we get some fouls off them and score a few goals.

Really hope for a goal from whoever is upfront, not likely, but would do the world of good.

24 Oct 2025 20:21:12
I hope we win GB. We’ve had a mix of results against them at home in recent years. Tough one to call.

24 Oct 2025 20:26:08
It sure is BR I just think Jack and Ndiaye will relish this one mate.

25 Oct 2025 11:01:57
Udogie is also out, they have a lot of injuries.

24 Oct 2025 07:34:51
Ivan Toney on a 6 month deal before the World Cup? That makes sense to me.

{Ed025's Note - it would be great Duaney, but my feeling is that if he does come back to the prem it will be with Spurs mate,,,purely down the Thomas Frank factor..

24 Oct 2025 09:18:00
if he goes to spurs they maybe unloading a striker?

24 Oct 2025 09:57:04
Then we take Richy on a 6 month loan. Win, win.

24 Oct 2025 13:02:48
Plus looking at other strikers as well, please let this be true, Christmas coming early this year.

24 Oct 2025 18:07:11
Does Toney not get heavily taxed if he leaves before the 2 year mark? Was brought up to me earlier but can’t find out for sure, any of the Ed’s know?

{Ed025's Note - i really dont Swan mate..

24 Oct 2025 19:14:12
You are spot on Swan. I think Henderson got battered for coming home early. Depends if Toney favours his career and potentially playing for England over money.

24 Oct 2025 20:18:33
Toney has talked about racist supporters at Everton in the past. I would be extremely surprised if he came as I got the feeling he really doesn’t like our club.

24 Oct 2025 22:29:34
Surely he will still be paid in Saudi anyway?

Any team loaning him won’t be paying the whole salary. The salary must be huge!

I wonder if that’s how he could avoid tax.

{Ed025's Note - hes on £22.5m per year apparently..

24 Oct 2025 23:26:08
Is that all he's on Ed025? I wouldn't get my left leg out of bed for that. The bloody pauper lol.

{Ed025's Note - if he does come Dentie we can always start a go fund me page to get him a few bob mate.. :)

25 Oct 2025 10:48:36
You will know who he’s going to once he’s put his bet on.

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.

Can you make Ed25’s posts neon colours with fireworks shooting out of them?

{Ed025's Note - i want that as well BR.. :)

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.
