Everton banter 9

02 Sep 2026 22:17:14
So I think it's quite obvious to us all now, especially since the debacle of the last transfer window that TFG's ownership of Everton is not for the long term, they don't appear to be building a team or club for greater times ahead, they are purely in my opinion using the lure of the new stadium to maximise their own revenue streams whilst in ownership of the club, essentially asset stripping for personal gain so that in about a year or twos time they will then be able to sell the club to another buyer for a handsome profit.

I'm afraid this is not the start to a new era that we all wanted and envisaged for our wonderful new stadium. As for Kinnear & Co, they should all resign with immediate effect!

Is it obvious? Or a lot of people getting hysterical after yesterday?

02 Sep 2026 21:53:46
Ed33, could you organise a poll on, who would welcome a change in ownership?

Braiden Graham scoring a great free kick for the Under 21s just now against AC Milan and he had a good game.

Not going to go full on GB and say start him every game for the full 90 even if he never scores and breaks both his legs.

But, surely a debut off the bench will be due soon, he’s improving a lot.

02 Sep 2026 21:45:44
Yeah he's definitely the new understudy or should be.

02 Sep 2026 21:53:22
Said the same below. He is a natural striker and should be given a chance, but probably will not.

02 Sep 2026 22:03:42
Play him in the cup games.

02 Sep 2026 22:06:20
He may be a little light weight on the physical side, Moyes has expressed that view recently, but who would you have come on for the last 20 minutes, him or Vardey? In our present circumstances we must look at our young players.

02 Sep 2026 22:23:11
GB is 76 years old, ffs. Now BG may have a good effect coming off the bench.

02 Sep 2026 20:55:28
Right. Ok, yesterday's Deadline was a complete joke. (How do we let Beto to Fiorentina be announced before we have announced his replacement signing first) . like I said a complete joke. but I really don't think we need to be losing our minds right now. Gorge and Johnson can both play as Striker so we have cover for Barry.

We have great midfield and attacking midfield options. yes it would have been great to get Balogan but he pulled out from deal not us.. If he doesn't want to play for our club we shouldn't have signed him.. We are all good so everyone just calm down. EFC are going to win the League lol. ????

The treble, and the Grand National.

02 Sep 2026 20:12:39
This transfer window has been a shambles, I don't have enough insight into who, but someone needs to be held accountable!

But with all the happened yesterday I'm still optimistic for the season. The team is full of youthful exciting prospects with a good mix of experienced pro's.

Yes, we are alarmingly short at full back and striker. But this might be what Barry needs to kick start his career, you have to really want to believe it, but I do believe (or blind hope) there is a player in Barry!

What we need now is us fans to get behind Moyes and the team, the window has closed and there is little we can do about that for now.

So we might as well turn the HD into a cauldron rather than a toxic anti board environment.

02 Sep 2026 20:42:32
Agree we need to get behind the team and give encouragement, but the only thing I'd put behind Moyes is my boot. Must be a bad day if GB and Skylark have not posted. ?

{Ed025's Note - they have actually Nick.. :)

02 Sep 2026 21:03:04
Same fans that write off Barry after one season (in which he scored more non-penalty goals than DCL btw) will look you dead in the eye and say we should sign Anthony Martial who has scored 1 goal in the Mexican league and hasn't scored more league goals than Barry last season, since 2019-20. ?

02 Sep 2026 21:12:19
Watched the U21s game today and we have a natural striker in Graham. Scored a good goal from a free-kick and hit the woodwork three times. Let Barry play 60-70 minutes, and then bring on Graham. Probably will not happen, since Moyes is just too stubborn.

02 Sep 2026 20:59:19
I must have missed them with all the high speed posting ed ?

{Ed025's Note - it has been very busy Nick, the one finger that i type with is now a stump mate.. :)

02 Sep 2026 19:47:12
Fed up with this footie club I am. It’s now quarter to 8, the day after one of the lowest/ most embarrassing days in the club's history, and not one peep of information as to what’s happened.

No attempt at an apology to the fans, to the other players or the manager. I’m not even angry, I’m mentally drained with this footie club. When's it going to change? It’s embarrassing!

02 Sep 2026 19:30:31
Reasons to be cheerful. We are unbeaten, we have England's number 1. Branthwaite, Obrian both quality. Garner quality. Armstrong we kept. Barry looks to have improved. Rohl is class.
Ride it out until January.

What worries me is how silly we look and lack of credibility. Just hope we can get a striker, right back and say a Yilmaz in January but we have needed a striker and a right back for sometime so won't be holding my breath.

02 Sep 2026 20:44:51
We've been a laughing stock for the last 20 years mate, ask the media.

02 Sep 2026 21:03:31
I like O'Brien but Moyes clearly doesn't, so does it matter?

02 Sep 2026 21:14:25
Ride it out until January or get Rideout in until January?

02 Sep 2026 22:51:52
Haha both. Rideout, hey. What I would do for a Tony Cottee type of striker.

02 Sep 2026 19:17:51
Anyone know if we are genuinely looming at free agents?

Save a fortune on transfer fees but held to ransom on wages!

02 Sep 2026 21:16:12
Something's definitely looming, BR.

02 Sep 2026 19:17:00
Are they really also going to ignore the free market? 6 month contract.

02 Sep 2026 19:12:09
We can jump up and down, scream & shout, and express our discuses, ect, and it doesn't change a dam thing.
Dan Frekin doesn't give a toss, TFG, will do whatever they think is in their interests.
All we can do is to make life as uncomfortable as possible, difficult when they never show their face at the club, however, even though they show little signs of being thin skinned, I pretty certain that they do not welcome hostile PR, weekly subjecting them to public pressure, might move them to cut their losses and sell up.
