Seems to be gathering pace rumours that Moshiri's Arsenal friend Alisher Usmanov is looking to join him at us, rumours saying before Christmas

Not sure what truth is in it but seems to be quite a bit of talk.

It only takes one person to start a rumour and then social media takes over and people think there has to some truth to it. Sure, there's a lot of talk, but it's just repeats of the same original story and not lots of independently-sourced or researched or informed opinion.

Hope so. there's only 1 thing better than 1 billionaire backer and that's 2 :) makes you wonder what's going on at arsenal tho if its true.

Nothing going on at Arsenal. Usmanov has made no secret that he wants to be a majority share holder and take over Kroenke but Kroenke is not interested in that.
The link with us and our own majority share holder is very much a putting two and two together rumour or suggestion it is certainly not anything remotely concrete. First he would have to sell his stake in Arsenal, easier said than done. Then he would actually have to be interested in being the majority share holder at us. Again nothing has ever suggested that this is even a remote area of interest to him.
It's a rumour like the Holtby ones, Holtby is an Everton fan therefore we must be interested. Moshiri and Usmanov have worked together and held shares at Arsenal at the same time therefore they must be interested in doing that Everton! It's not unicorns but it is 100%, unsubstantiated.

{Ed025's Note - good post that svenny..

Power struggle for years at that club that's why Moshiri wanted out, so although highly unlikely to happen it you never know, stranger things have happened in football.

i wonder if in a few years time we'll be moaning that we don't have enough money and us fans will be in the stands holding banners crying for a second billionaire investor.

tickles me how people on here are saying that Stones is poor and in the same breath are demanding £50million for him! Make your minds up will you.

Couldn't agree more Pedro 👍.

Think it's because a lot of the fans here are old fashioned and value character as highly as talent. His talent is worth £50m+, his character is not (it was, he just seems to have changed since Christmas) .

. some whisperings of Benitez walking away from Newcastle tonight. not sure if true or not but some reputable sources saying that Mike Ashley is not playing ball and giving him the written assurances he wants. could there still be paella on the menu at Goodison next season? ;)

Hi ed002 have you heard anything about the meeting with de boer thanks.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - There has been a further discussion with his agent but De Boer himself is yet to return from China.}

20 May 2016 12:18:41
Well its clear who are main target is then if we have had contact with his men twice. let's hope he doesn't travel by boat or we'll be here all summer waiting ;)

Agree2 Disagree1

Ace

Me personally, if it is by 'boat' I hope it's the 'slow boat'and he takes the scenic route .

By then we could well have talked with someone (RK, LS even JM) personally 3 times .

Love it Blue. I'd have those choices too. But then I'm so excited right now I think I'd have me!

If you lads do not want the Club to make a major error in recruiting our next manager like the knee jerk appointment of Martinez may I suggest we become slightly chilled the kind of chill that only comes with patience.

BCT

Firstly let me tell you I was vehemently against the 'RM' appointment as Ed025 will testify!

Secondly speaking for myself my input on here and elsewhere won't speed up matters in the 'new manager appointment decision' not one jot mate! nor should it btw .

Agree0 Disagree0

20 May 2016 16:58:52
Come on BCT it's just a bit of fun and excitement. I'm quite happy to wait but as long as nobody's trying to dampen my enthusiasm in the interim. To be fair Mrs ace is loving my new found excitement since you know who was sacked. So I'd best keep it up for her sakes.

According to the express on-line, Manchester United are reportedly interested in Funis Mori. His agent has been quoted as saying Lazio are also interested but his value is £23m. Here's a snippet of his interview,
"Lazio are a great club, but Everton do not want to sell and the value is more than [£23m], " Followed by
"But football is strange, anything can happen, he is the best left-handed centre-back in the world at the moment. "
The report contradicts itself later on when it states we are willing to listen to offers in the region of 11.5m!
Not sure why his agent seems to think being left handed is a necessity, maybe he has really neat handwriting!

I like Mori but the best left CB in the world ha ha, come on Agent there is bigging them up then there is just a ridiculous statement which makes the agent look daft as a brush.

Sick of agents coming out and saying that their player is the best player in europe/ premier league etc. Fair enough if Funes goes, he had a fairly good season, helped us out big time whilst Jags was injured, and hopefully we'll recuperate the money we spent. But seriously Lukaku's dad and agent bigging him up to be the best striker in Europe and all this, i appreciate they're trying to big them up for their own benefit (bit of commission) but they just seem ridiculous. Agents really are what is wrong with the game.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 May 2016 11:34:01
they can all frig off if they don't wanna play for the best team in the world - Only one way once u leave everton (rooney aside) haha. let's get a new manager first before we talk about ins and outs, no one is leaving or coming in till this happens fact.

Spot on Dazza, why get involved with player trading at a stage when our squad it a draw to any prospective candidate for the managers role.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 May 2016 16:44:50
If agents want to bigger there players and give higher values aslong as they ask for a transfer and give up loyalty bonuses then let them gain us more cash.25 million for mori would be well worth a sale.

People keep talking of knee jerk reactions to the appointment of Martinez and now hus replacement. I'd be amazed if Kenwright knew nothing about Moyes being tapped up from at least the Christmas before he left, hence running his contract down. I'd also be amazed if Martinez's replacement wasn't being shortlisted at least a month ago if not 2. And suddenly De Boer resigns!

De Boer has done a great job developing youth, just look at the 3 Tottenham now have. Clubs also looking at Ajax players now including defender and forward. We would have the money to buy influential players and a mix of developing the great youth we have been crying out to see play. Plus if he managed to bring his backroom staff. even better!

JM would not develop youth in fact he would ruin what we have, Koeman would be gone in 2 years to Arsenal or Barcelona.

"best left-handed Center back"

I never knew center backs played with their hands.

Jason1878: quite a few CBs use their hands - left and right - but the refs and linesmen just won't award the penalty kicks they should ;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

That's what made me laugh jason1878, I know agents talk up their players but his statement is a bit strange!
