Sorry Ed 25 that was my fault sending it twice I accept my punishment do I have to have detention for the rest of the week or is the fact that Moyes is still out manager punishment enough in one lifetime sorry GB and the others that like our current manager I respect your decision too as this site is all about opinions and what a boring site it would be if we all had the same opinions my fellow evertonians UTFT.

{Ed025's Note - it just makes it difficult for the Editors mate..

04 Aug 2026 16:17:16
Toffebwoy, I don't know how many times I have to say that I don't like DM as you constantly keep saying. I just want him to have at least this window to prove he's worthy of being our manager.

If not, he will be gone, then I too will be scanning all the usual stuff for a new manager. Hope this tells you once and for all. Don't print what is not true, mate.

04 Aug 2026 18:17:25
You do call him Davey though GB. 😂😂😂

04 Aug 2026 18:53:21
It's his name, mate.

04 Aug 2026 18:58:40
It's David and if you like him it's Davey. 😯

{Ed025's Note - thats splitting hairs mate..does it really matter?..

04 Aug 2026 19:39:47
Not at all mate.

04 Aug 2026 19:12:13
It was meant as a bit of fun, all getting a bit touchy on here lately Ed, think I'm best keeping quiet

{Ed025's Note - i think we are all on pins at the moment Skylark, i dont think anyone means any harm mate and we all need to chill a bit..

05 Aug 2026 00:43:52
I think his song would sound far too formal to be honest. 🎵 David Moyes, David Moyes, David, David Moyes. 🎵

04 Aug 2026 09:31:21
Just a thought, wonder why Chelsea signed Wellbeck and Henderson a 35 and a 36 yr old, doesn’t make sense to me unless of course they sell at £100 million each at Christmas PSR would like that.

04 Aug 2026 10:25:26
Is it the cheapest way to bet the British quota teams need this summer? I am only guessing.

04 Aug 2026 10:35:32
Hahaha GB, you are a sharp one at times.

04 Aug 2026 12:10:37
I like to get to the point, mate. 😂😂

04 Aug 2026 12:46:45
Maybe Alonso sees them as a good influence in the squad?

04 Aug 2026 12:55:57
Will they ever play? Seems a strange couple of sighings.

04 Aug 2026 13:22:54
Maybe the way Henderson broke his arm at the World Cup without kicking a ball, getting excited over a quarter final place, swong it.

04 Aug 2026 13:27:31
That made me chuckle mate.

04 Aug 2026 15:13:37
Bmd got it spot on.

We have a very young side, and we needed old heads to help the youngsters.

04 Aug 2026 15:42:00
I think the reason they have signed Henderson and Wellbeck is, if my facts are right, they have a 2 window transfer ban which was reported on BBC website a few days ago, and therefore I'm thinking Chelsea must have known this was happening and just brought a couple of extras in while they still could. Only my opinion though.

{Ed001's Note - the ban is suspended. They have brought them in because they had a squad of youngsters and needed some experience to guide them. Alonso likes a couple of experienced players in key roles.}

04 Aug 2026 16:25:12
Hendo just there for his card tricks.

04 Aug 2026 16:29:08
Then Moyes would be the perfect manager for them, you don't get a game till your 30th birthday.

04 Aug 2026 16:31:50
Can't see Henderson getting much game time, if any. Seems to be in a sort of "coaching role" there, based on his past successes and experience.
Didn't understand his inclusion in the World Cup squad either, seemed a waste of a place in it.

04 Aug 2026 19:21:17
Just think they are taking up squad numbers that other players would have.

04 Aug 2026 07:39:01
{Ed's Note - Philip_hunter2003 has posted a new article entitled, What United Still Need in the Transfer Window

03 Aug 2026 23:28:03
We signed anyone else yet?

04 Aug 2026 09:10:40
Apparently Norgaard is having a medical today, so should be signed by the first game of the season.

04 Aug 2026 09:48:41
Thought the medical was planned for yesterday. Hopefully, him and a RB in the next few days.

04 Aug 2026 11:22:43
If we sign Johnston from Celtic, it will probably be after their Champions League qualifying game in two weeks unless they can get a replacement in before then.

04 Aug 2026 11:31:55
We've been waiting 4 years what's another 2 weeks. Just watch him get injured and then back to square one. This should have been sorted ages ago.

04 Aug 2026 12:20:03
If the current rumours are true and it's a choice between Johnston and Molina. Would much prefer Molina. It's easy to look good in Scotland. The Scottish Premiership is such a poor league.

03 Aug 2026 23:08:29
Pochettino agrees USA extension with some bloke called Trump as head coach.

04 Aug 2026 08:33:40
In that case, the best players in the world will shortly be American citizens.

03 Aug 2026 23:02:16
Grealish 200k a week and still recovering. Someone at this Club needs a severe talking to; thinking this is a bargain. Two brilliant coaches didn't/don't want him. Pro's: he really is a good lad, on his day could be a game changer.

Cons: not quite Gazza in the barber's chair but close; have to play at his speed - slow; can't shoot. Drop wages to £120-50k maybe if tfg agree.

04 Aug 2026 06:59:15
I'd rather we kept Ndiaye.

04 Aug 2026 14:40:46
Bit of a difference, Man City managers not wanting him, with the quality of players in his position, compared to us, mate.

He improves our squad without a shadow of a doubt. He won't be asking for 200k a week with us, especially if he really wants to join us again as is rumoured.

03 Aug 2026 21:20:20
Ok, Spurs want Ndiaye. It’s £80 million plus Richy comes home.

{Ed025's Note - get on the boat and broker that deal GB.. :)

03 Aug 2026 21:47:19
If it's true it will be a backwards step yet again.

03 Aug 2026 22:08:08
For who, Skylark? Ndiaye or the club? If you're using this situation to bash the club, then that's a bit stupid. If the player wants out, then would you keep him? If he goes, then the club just needs to get a fair valuation for him, whether he moves to another prem team or abroad.

If they sell him for 30m, then you would be right, but that isn't going to happen.

03 Aug 2026 22:10:12
Reading without me glasses so apologies, Skylark, if you meant bringing Rucharlison back home. Although, even you have to admit, he's better than the two we have up top just now. Getting someone in that can actually score a decent amount of goals is what we all want isn't it? Any player that improves the team would be a positive move.

04 Aug 2026 06:55:51
Richarlison, bluepotato and Grealish while we are on the subject.

04 Aug 2026 08:54:56
B and B do not hold the ball up well or at all, so we struggle to build up by bringing midfielders into the game. Richie has Brazilian ball control in him and the ability to make a goal himself.
Aznou showed that extra bit of skill v Hamburg when he sent 2 burgers to the shops.


We seriously lack this type of flair, so for me, if Richie is available, then I'd prefer to pay his wage than 200k a week to JG.

04 Aug 2026 14:42:53
Grealish would be a good addition to our squad. It's a bit mad how some of you are against the idea. Any player that makes us better should be welcomed with open arms, especially one that got the club and the fans, and has made no secret of his desire to come back. No brainer.

04 Aug 2026 19:46:45
I would take Richy back over the likes of Delap or the two we currently have.
He has had his injuries but it's amazing how quickly they disappear when you're happy again.

UTFT NSNO. 💙 💙 💙

03 Aug 2026 20:06:58
Surely Ndiaye wouldn’t move to Spurs.

{Ed025's Note - that would depend on the fee and the financial package i expect GB..

03 Aug 2026 20:42:29
Yeah Ed I know mate but Spurs, if he moves he can do far better than that lot

{Ed025's Note - he who pays the piper calls the tune GB, its all down to money in the end mate..

03 Aug 2026 21:00:54
Wouldn't be a bad move imo, GB.

He is almost guaranteed to play, whereas moving to the likes of Arsenal, City or United would take a lot of minutes off of him.

Spurs have a clear plan in place and have recruited very smartly, mate.

They only need a striker and winger to have a very good first 11, with no European fixtures to contend with.



Kinsky/Dubravka

Porro/Spence
Senesi/VDV
Van Hecke/Danso
Robertson/Udogie

Fernandes/Bentancur/Gray
Tonali/Gallagher/Sarr

Kudus/Ndiaye
Kulisevski/Maddison
Tel/Simons

Richarlison/Solanke

They will offer him stupid money, and they have a much better side and manager than us. That is just the unfortunate reality, mate.

{Ed025's Note - it could also be a carrot for Richie coming to us plus cash BN..

03 Aug 2026 21:15:10
That is more than a fair shout Ed and I would take full advantage of getting that money back that they shafted us for on the Richy deal because we were desperate.

I would be asking for £65m plus Richy Ed. See how much they really want him ey!

{Ed025's Note - i suspect it will not be that much BN..

03 Aug 2026 21:41:19
40 tops and Richie. Spuds will get the better deal unless we get Yilmaz, that would do for me.

03 Aug 2026 22:49:24
He's contracted until 2029. We have to squeeze out as much as we can from the deal. Richy is in his last year. He's 29 and injury prone. Ndiaye is 26 and was missing for AFCON (though his form dipped afterwards) .



Didn't Arsenal want £20-25m for Jesus? That puts Richy in a similar boat in my eyes.

We should be eying £55m at least if they throw in Richy. Otherwise, hold out for £75-80m.

03 Aug 2026 23:38:30
Why does Jesus need a boat?

04 Aug 2026 00:10:09
Because he's getting on a bit and can't walk on water..

03 Aug 2026 18:47:55
Mad to think as Prem is about to start that Moyes is 4th longest in position of all the Prem bosses just behind Hertzeler Emery and Arteta.

03 Aug 2026 18:28:59
Maybe it's just me but I remember watching Anzou as our RB last pre season and he looked a real attacking threat. Similar, imo this season.
After, a full year at our club, if he doesn't defend or track back as DM wants, surely that's down to our coaching team or DM himself.


I like the look of the lad from little I've seen, fellow blue boys' opinions?

03 Aug 2026 20:14:17
Sadly I think our back four will be JoB, Tarks, JB and Myko for the start of the season.

{Ed025's Note - I suspect you are right Bobby..

03 Aug 2026 20:25:41
Don't remember him as RB.

03 Aug 2026 21:43:34
Think a fit JB would allow our L/B to get forward a lot more.
