Everton rumours 2

11 Apr 2025 09:22:49
Maxime Estève (Burnley centre back)
David Hancko (Feyanoord Lt back / Centre back - 25 million)
Merlin Röhl (Freiburg) - instead of Alcarez

All bern linked this week.

12 Apr 2025 11:21:49
That Rohl looks a class act tbh Sobs. Would be a brilliant signing if we could land him.

I would like Frendrup for the dm. Tireless and ready to take over from Gana.

12 Apr 2025 12:12:36
Mentioned him earlier this week would be a real coup if we could get him mate.

12 Apr 2025 17:11:45
Surely we should be in for Alcaraz and Röhl. We need the upgrades on our midfield asap.

12 Apr 2025 18:39:32
Is Alcaraz all that?

12 Apr 2025 18:53:35
He’s better than Doucs, Harrison and Garner going forward Sobs. He has pace, can dribble and can pick a pass. We will need depth and he gives us more quality up front than half the attacking players. If they give Doucs a contract based on that goal and playing badly half the season then surely Alcaraz should be ahead of him after scoring at Palace and several assists.

12 Apr 2025 19:03:22
Just been reading Doucs now wants a new contract with us after his goal today.

12 Apr 2025 20:02:52
Not for me. Should be looking at younger players now.

{Ed025's Note - yeah BMD, one swallow does not a summer make..

12 Apr 2025 20:18:32
Nor me.

13 Apr 2025 10:08:41
Pleased that he got the winner in front of the away end. Still time foto move on for me.

15 Apr 2025 12:58:37
A new contract, on reduced term, may not be the player he was, but commited to the club, more than be said for others.

16 Apr 2025 16:37:10
He's committed to the club all the time they are paying him 120k a week. To old, to slow and can't pass a ball.

11 Apr 2025 08:03:06
Hey dmsblues your not grumpy your right about 1 win in 8 what I meant was the fact was we have more of an attacking threat than under SD not sitting back and trying to either defend a 1-0 lead or trying to keep the score down. We all realise it's going to take a few transfer windows to sort out but we definitely have the spine of a decent team. I was wondering if any of the Ed's have heard when the Man City case will be over I'm pretty sure that Guardiola said it would be over in march.

{Ed025's Note - they are drawing it out Andy and will do until they possibly can mate..

11 Apr 2025 16:14:23
My son told me yesterday that City verdict will now be in the summer. he's not in the know as far as I know but he seems as certain as a typical 14yr old.

09 Apr 2025 09:15:25
Echo saying us and Brighton are looking at Delap £40m bid apparently.

09 Apr 2025 09:37:02
Apparently City have a buy back option on him that I'd be surprised they don't use, to either use themselves or sell for a profit.

Love seeing us get the lad. ?.

09 Apr 2025 19:56:46
Alot of clubs will be interested when it's finally confirmed Ipswich have been relagted especially at that price. can he turn city down if they used the buyback clause.

09 Apr 2025 20:52:54
Not sure on that Ron mate, read they have first refusal at £40million. Lads going to be top drawer so may buy and loan out for season as doubt he will want play 2nd fiddle to Haaland, he has strong chance of being Kane's long term replacement he's that good.

09 Apr 2025 22:35:16
He’ll move, but not to us I’m afraid.

10 Apr 2025 10:04:19
Don't be afraid JB, be confident you just never know.

10 Apr 2025 11:30:54
How can you know that JB mate.

10 Apr 2025 12:35:06
It would be some coup tbf GB. a lot will be interested with better salary to offer and European football, depends what way the lad wants to go. I'd be surprised and very happy but not expecting.

10 Apr 2025 14:18:32
Ok, for the uber pedantic posters, there’s a very low chance that he’d sign for us over the many other Prem teams that would match/ better our offer. Good strikers are gold dust at the moment. Being positive does not change the facts of the matter.

10 Apr 2025 17:22:07
Wish we had a list of potential strikers incoming that is based on actual possibility.

I don’t think Delap will be on our list unless Rory is coming out of retirement….

10 Apr 2025 18:43:28
We’d be dangerous from throw ins BR.

10 Apr 2025 23:20:03
Can’t stand Delap, he is a sly twat just like James Beattie who I went to school with. Hated watching us play when Beattie was on the pitch and the same would be true if Delap were to sign for us. Would rather get behind nice guys like Beto, Ndiaye, and Alcaraz.

11 Apr 2025 07:37:07
Can't see city letting him join utd but who knows. and he will want to join a team playing European football no doubt.

11 Apr 2025 18:14:52
Too many nice guys won't get us anywhere mate.

13 Apr 2025 22:43:18
If he goes back to City then maybe a cheeky swap. Doucs for Haarland.

07 Apr 2025 12:15:02
I think doucs will be offered another year ?.

{Ed025's Note - i hope not Ant, nice guy who tries hard but if we are to progress we need better imo mate..

07 Apr 2025 12:39:31
Hope we move him on.

07 Apr 2025 14:14:24
Don't think then.

07 Apr 2025 15:01:49
Your on the button FBS mate.

07 Apr 2025 18:30:55
Pass on that one. Too old, too slow, and too expensive.

07 Apr 2025 20:24:02
Move on but show appreciation for years of service including that goal. Not many have deserved a send off - he does!

07 Apr 2025 20:37:24
Very well paid for it as well mate.

07 Apr 2025 22:22:59
So we praise players for one goal now?

08 Apr 2025 10:25:17
I think it was what the goal meant to us all mate.

08 Apr 2025 14:22:07
Not for one goal, bmd, but he certainly deserves a bit of respect for his service and helping to keep us up in trying times. Age catches up to all of us in the end unfortunately and that's where he is right now. When his contract runs down it should be thanks and good luck.

08 Apr 2025 14:43:35
Wouldn't mind him being offered a deal if it's 20% of what he's on right now to be a sub.

08 Apr 2025 14:57:29
Why do we continue praising players when they have one good game? Oh it was his goal that kept us up. Really? Surely it was his form along with a good few others that put us in that situation in the first place?
This guy gets 100k a week, is playing in a key position on the pitch and has been bloody awful.
Will be glad to see the back of him.

08 Apr 2025 16:47:51
End of his contract, high wage, not good enough now time to get rid.

{Ed025's Note - i think "maybe time to move him on" would be a better phrase mate.. :)

08 Apr 2025 18:23:31
Angel Gomes on a free. Roughly same wages and he's not getting played at lille because he's looking to leave. I think next season we will have a very different squad. Hope they activate alcaraz transfer as he only going to get better. Also read today that we are going to activate Liam Delaps release clause. The lads a baller and again he will only get better. But I'm sure other teams will be in for him. Just hope we can convince him to join. Plus a smattering of championship players like Fellows, Rigg, O'Neil, the Watford player from Georgia too. The Burnley lad looks quality too, Esteve I think he's called.

08 Apr 2025 18:24:02
Ok Ed point taken mate no offence meant.

{Ed025's Note - none taken GB mate..

09 Apr 2025 00:16:39
BMD, as I said, time has caught up with him and yes, he needs to go at the end of his contract. That doesn't mean fans have to show him total disrespect, as you have in this thread, as he has done a job for us during his time here. Maybe not so much in the last season or two but he still deserves to be acknowledged for helping keep the dream of still being in the prem when we move to our new stadium. Each to their own mate but don't worry, I'm sure you will have a new target to slate come next season.

09 Apr 2025 09:18:44
I read that Doucs and DCL were both offered new deals but on less money Doucs was interested but DCL less so.

09 Apr 2025 12:53:45
Not on the strength of the last few games, wages spent better elsewhere.

09 Apr 2025 18:07:52
DefoJB.

09 Apr 2025 20:29:16
That’s fine BP. Players get praise from me when they earn it, to me he hasn’t. Clearly you don’t agree and that’s fine.

09 Apr 2025 21:32:33
Neither do I.

{Ed025's Note - in the end its not Doucs,s fault, blame the manager who picks him each week while having the likes of Alcaraz on the bench..

09 Apr 2025 23:47:59
All about opinions bmd mate, if we all thought the same then these pages would be a bit boring.

07 Apr 2025 09:50:18
Reports saying we have held talks with Merlin Rohl from Freiburg,

07 Apr 2025 11:19:19
‘The Wizard’. He’d have to be magic to get on the end of a Jack Harrison cross.

07 Apr 2025 18:31:45
He'd have to be sitting in the stands to get on a Harrison cross.

08 Apr 2025 14:44:36
Attacking mid who doesn't score and has been injured a bit. Seems like he's made for us.

08 Apr 2025 14:58:48
If he’s the Wizard then maybe he can make Harrison disappear.

08 Apr 2025 16:48:26
Hope he can mate would do us all a favour eh.

06 Apr 2025 09:40:59
Reading more rumours about Richy coming back as the marquee signing. don't get me wrong I'd have him back to pkay striker (and lw along with ndiaye) but expect that the marquee signing bit is paper talk. His injury record at the minute it really dodgy. Surely we can go for a better marquee signing than him.

06 Apr 2025 12:58:27
Assuming the deal works for all involved, I’d welcome him back.

07 Apr 2025 16:07:47
Would make little sense to bring him back.

He was great when with us but he’s a shadow of that player now.

Struggling with injuries, getting older and would be an expensive signing.

Would be a no from me - wish him well for the rest of his career but not back with us - we need to move away from sentimental signings and signing injury plagued players.

Need to try and sign the next “Richarlison”.

07 Apr 2025 18:32:45
Delap would be a better option if we could get him.

08 Apr 2025 11:14:21
Delap would be a cracking signing, however unfortunately he’ll have far better offers coming his way than us.

Be interesting to see where he ends up, hopefully he goes to a team for footballing reasons rather than financial ones. If that’s then the case we may have a squeak.

08 Apr 2025 18:25:23
Sounds abit like same scenario we had with Pienaar. Went downhill at spurs, then got his mojo back when he came back to us. Maybe Richy could be the same.

09 Apr 2025 21:36:00
And look who you are dealing with to get Richarlison, gets water out of a stone. Plus injury table reserved.

05 Apr 2025 11:38:41
Here go again two players c/ not play.

04 Apr 2025 21:23:23
The League will probably dock Everton 30 points for Tark’s tackle before they announce any deductions for Man City.

04 Apr 2025 22:17:49
And 10 more for pointing out that their goal shouldn’t have been allowed.

02 Apr 2025 16:31:57
Does anyone know if we will have any surprise starter's tonight or not. i will take a draw now.

{Ed025's Note - they are saying jack Harrison could start Ron, now that would be a surprise mate...hes awful..

02 Apr 2025 17:13:52
????.

03 Apr 2025 08:32:21
To make things even worse, he now has a top knot!

03 Apr 2025 09:26:57
Well he proved you right Ed?.

{Ed025's Note - he was terrible BMD, i just dont know what Moyes sees in him?, it really does beggar belief mate..

27 Mar 2025 20:04:22
Josh brownhill on a free from Burnley has been linked yet again. experienced average player for the squad. hope it's just paper talk to be honest.

27 Mar 2025 21:02:59
Hopefully papertalk ron mate but seen a few rumours online that we are interested in chris rigg and also dan neil from Sunderland but seen good few players make step up from championship ie jarrod bowen so there is definitely talent down the lower leagues just got to look more often.

27 Mar 2025 21:57:29
Possibly an old Dyche link to Burnley and lazy journalism.

28 Mar 2025 07:09:14
I'd take Brownhill for squad depth he on free so saves us some money to buy better players.

28 Mar 2025 07:24:45
Hopefully BR and have seen and heard a few ex players in the last couple of weeks saying Rigg is definitely a talent. i just thought that's added £20 million to wotever value he was.

28 Mar 2025 08:21:18
You do realise that when we sign these players as squad players we still have to pay them. We should be looking for players who are going to challenge the current crop, not players who are happy to sit on the bench.

28 Mar 2025 09:44:25
Hopefully the Brownhill rumours are just old stories getting dragged up again as whilst we’re going to be short on numbers in the closed season would hope there were better options available from the under 21s team to step up.

Do like the links to the 2 Sunderland players as both look decent and look like they could step up to the pre use league - only issue would be other teams would also be interested in them and may turn into a bidding war so to speak.

28 Mar 2025 14:50:24
I can't say I want the lad but we need a lot of new players this summer and getting some in on a free will work.

No Mangala or Dourcoure. Idrissa a year older. Garner not the most robust. Neither is Tim and he is still a young lad. Whilst Brownhill may not be a starter if everyone is fit, what do we do when we are short in the middle. The season is long and there are many games to play. Prem experience, works hard and would not look out of place. Getting him on a free wouldn't be a bad signing.

28 Mar 2025 16:41:24
Just reading he is 29 played 34 games this season scored 13 and assisted 4 and scored 7 times last season in a team that got relegated. i thought he was older than that.

29 Mar 2025 00:59:08
Ye we need squad depth he solid prem level player.

29 Mar 2025 11:05:25
I think we could do a lot worse personally.

29 Mar 2025 12:33:16
Who is he similar too or would he add something different. Game changer or a steady Eddie.

29 Mar 2025 18:23:30
We need depth on the wings and full backs. Doesn’t he cover CM where we have Gueye, Tim and Garner?

29 Mar 2025 22:11:47
Hope this isn’t true, we need a better level of player if we are to progress. He’s already 29 .

26 Mar 2025 14:35:08
Reports saying Qatar Airways will get the naming rights for BMD, £150 million being quoted, serious money that is wow.

26 Mar 2025 18:04:34
Knowing our luck, we’ll get Ryanair or Squeezey Jet for £40 GB…

Did they say how long the naming rights would last?

26 Mar 2025 18:16:52
No mate just some in the know journalists, hmmmmmmm.

27 Mar 2025 00:47:18
Ten years is the rumour.

27 Mar 2025 08:59:38
Might I read but nothing is definite, 10/ 15 million per year over 10 years would be very nice, but it's not a concrete lead that's what I've just read.
