Everton Rumours

29 Jun 2024 19:48:49
Newcastle accept bid from Brighton for Minteh for £33 mil . So unless he turns that down he won’t be coming to us.

29 Jun 2024 22:48:41
I’d rather have the lad from Hull, looks class.

29 Jun 2024 22:59:09
Seems overpriced to me. We should look elsewhere.

29 Jun 2024 23:01:31
Strange one that for Brighton. They seem to be moving away from their model of buying young unknown talented players and improving them to sell on. They bought Pedro from Watford last year for 30mill and now what looks like a fee that's a bit too high for Minteh despite his talent.

29 Jun 2024 13:56:49
Ed I'm seeing lots of other teams linked to minteh, have we completely walked away now? He seemed to favour a move to us but all links gone very quiet. I saw we were linked with the kid from hull, are we targeting two wingers in this window?

{Ed002's Note - Yankuba Minteh (RW) Left footed RW will perhaps get another loan at Feyenoord after a very good season. Arne Slot was impressed by him but following him to Liverpool, except as cover, would be a huge step up. Lyon had a ridiculous €40M offer accepted but the player is not interested. Everton, Marseille, Dortmund, Brighton and Roma offer options although Everton see the cost as far too high and are unwilling to get involved with a straight swap for Calvert-Lewin. Marseille would like to include Matteo Guendouzi in any deal.

Everton have an interest in two Hull youngsters.}

29 Jun 2024 15:19:27
Reading that DCL can’t agree terms with Newcastle at the mo, and he is also linked with West Ham and Brentford, Newcastle keen to do do a deal still got time.

29 Jun 2024 16:46:12
Which 2 Hull youngsters?

29 Jun 2024 17:08:59
Hopefully Greaves and Philogene Pighead 🤞🙏💙.

29 Jun 2024 17:21:57
Spot on mocker think its about time everton looked into the championship and league 1 i think if braithwaite does leave i would like see greaves from hull or ronnie edwards from Peterborough as his replacement in my opinion.

29 Jun 2024 18:27:38
Yep Andy I'd go along with that pal, the young lad at Peterborough Ronnie not seen enough of him to say could step straight up, but by all reports a solid performer and 1 for future with slow bed in.

Philogene saw a bit of him and Greaves watching Championship games, both are great players, Philogene oozes class. Definitely excited about the youth we are looking at, just get them over the line please, obvious to say mate but the Stadium is a huge selling point to any young player, imagine just starting out thinking that could be home ground for next decade. Definitely slot more upbeat Andy lad, just hope Sean gets the chance to prove what a good manager he really is.

29 Jun 2024 20:04:45
Kept saying we would find gems in-the lower leagues.

29 Jun 2024 22:31:03
No doubting or ever doubted they weren't GB, but at present we ain't got any of them in.

28 Jun 2024 21:47:44
I see young Roman Dixon has signed a 3 year deal quality right back and only 19 hope he has a good pre season and gets a chance 👍.

28 Jun 2024 21:32:19
Godfrey gone for 10 million. Not bad business.

{Ed025's Note - not bad at all Smit, things are starting to fall into place mate, i hear (courtesy of ED002) that the transfer of Ndiaye is done, it cant go through until monday though so as not to complicate problems, this is of course subject to the new owner providing the money for the loan i must stress..

29 Jun 2024 11:05:23
Wow. I thought Godfrey was a future captain after his first season. Don't know what happened to him but 3 yrs on the bench and ends up with champions league football? What a world we live in 😂.

{Ed025's Note - i think long covid had a lot to do with his demise Pauly, i wish the lad well though as he never let us down when called upon mate..

29 Jun 2024 18:09:37
That and a bad injury which is never easy to come back from.

29 Jun 2024 18:09:50
That and a bad injury which is never easy to come back from.

28 Jun 2024 10:35:13
Looks like the DCL move to Newcastle is back on with Minteh coming to us going to be an interesting couple of days.

28 Jun 2024 11:22:12
Mini transfer deadline day, GB, a reaction to this FFP business and will force rule changes moving forward you’d think.

28 Jun 2024 12:04:53
Yep reckon the same mate, hope we keep within FFP.

28 Jun 2024 13:02:59
If they want 40 million and we want 37 million.
I would take them up on it tbh.

One is injury prone and as we all know, the body only declines the older you get. The other is 19 and has attributes that we severely lack. He also seems hungry to prove himself in the league and favours a move to us which can only be a good thing.

Having Ndiaye and him in the front 4 would change the dynamics of this side dramatically.

Interesting times ahead if true GB.

28 Jun 2024 13:13:42
Really really chuffed with the transfers so far, hope this one can be done aswell, as much as i like DCL through no fault of his own he is too injury prone we simply cannot afford the same thing to happen this coming season, Sean must have a couple lined up so I leave it to him mate.

28 Jun 2024 16:16:27
I get that dcl was out for quite a while but I don't really want to jump on the injury prone wagon. I honestly believe he was mismanaged from the moment Carlos left until Dyche rocked up. Other managers staked their tenure on him and brought him back too early on several occasions because we didn't have any threat up front. It's not right but understandable considering how trigger happy our owner has been. Dyche didn't rush him after taking the hot seat and got nearly 40 games out of him last season. That, to me, doesn't suggest the lad is injury prone at all, it proves he can get on the pitch and close to full fitness for the majority of the season.
Scoring goals is another thing all together and he hasn't been doing that as much as we would like. Some of that is down to quality of delivery into the box, some of it down to tactical decisions. Dyche likes his cf to work the channels whereas CA made him stay in the box which, ultimately, seen him score more goals in a season than he had before. I wouldn't sell him yet, his work rate and hold up play is good and if we play to his strengths I think we can get a decent return out of him each season.

28 Jun 2024 16:57:37
Bluenose, I got pissed off at your comment about "the body declines the older you get", and then I just got back from 18 holes of golf and I'm knackered. But I am 84! You are right we need some younger, faster and hungry players, we have enough Young types.

29 Jun 2024 08:41:46
BM fair play to you mate at 84 playing 18 I'm 51 and need a new spine after just 9.

29 Jun 2024 10:29:55
Keep DCL if he signs a contract as the players we are looking to bring in fit with his play.
Stick him in the box, feed him and he’ll score goals.

Stop using him as a lone striker to hold up the ball, it doesn’t work.

27 Jun 2024 17:59:13
We’ve accepted a bid from Atalanta for Ben Godfrey, in excess of £10m.

27 Jun 2024 19:28:50
Think it’s a bit less than that mate. Which is not great given more than one club was after him.

27 Jun 2024 19:35:57
Yeah read that mate think they said £12.7 million, good deal for us I reckon.

27 Jun 2024 19:41:19
£8m was inquiry for Holgate too, Sky Sports.

27 Jun 2024 21:56:54
Not seen anything about a Holgate bid anywhere. Let’s hope we can find a home for him.

29 Jun 2024 08:43:37
I really liked Godfrey when he signed, I think covid really knocked him for 6 good luck to the lad onwards and upwards UTFT.

27 Jun 2024 11:15:02
Looks like the Ndiaye deal has fallen through.

27 Jun 2024 11:23:13
Ndidi that should say.

27 Jun 2024 11:23:47
Think a few seem to be falling foul of the name Ndidi and Ndiaye and confusing themselves over 2 separate stories. It's definitely amused me this morning (slow work day I admit)

27 Jun 2024 11:32:10
Would prefer Ndidi over Ndiaye personally.

{Ed002's Note - Why not sell Onana and have both. Stanger thins have happened.}

27 Jun 2024 11:40:01
True Ed002, but personally I'm not convinced that Ndiaye will be much of an improvement, especially for the feeling quoted in the media.
With regards to Onana, I think selling him makes sense for the club.

{Ed002's Note - It was a disaster for both Marseille and Ndiaye as the goals dried up completely. He wanted the move but others didn't, so everyone hopes it works out.}

27 Jun 2024 12:33:27
Think that's the intention with getting Ndidi in early and if we can with Onana still at Euro's.

Expect Onana to go once Euros finish and Ndidi is a more than adequate replacement on a free is a no brainer, which may free up some extra funds to address forward line.

In terms of Ndiaye I am very happy for us to sign, has a touch of class, didn't see enough of him in France but played out of position, his stats could been better but fact played 33 games suggest his actually performances weren't too shabby, he was definitely 1 of the stand out players in championship and think he can quite easily step up for us, remember he ain't a out and out striker and will be ideal as a Attacking midfielder working off DCL. Well that's my opinion and hope anyway chaps.

27 Jun 2024 19:30:46
He may be on a free but could well demand a high wage, something we are trying to move away from surely.

27 Jun 2024 19:42:38
He can demand what he wants Harlex, doesn't mean we after succumb to it does it.

Hopefully they will have a budget in place and cut our cloth accordingly, if the figures work then go for it.

Be very surprised if we actually got him and looking increasingly likely we won't tbf.

28 Jun 2024 09:29:24
Then we more than likely won’t get him.

27 Jun 2024 10:43:16
Looks like we we be getting around a £15 million deal for Godfrey with Atlanta and most likely Lyon getting him.

26 Jun 2024 21:14:24
Georges Mikautadze would he get work permit in England looks really good player.

{Ed025's Note - no mate, hes tiling a bathroom in Tbilisi when he gets home.. :)

26 Jun 2024 21:34:52
🤣🤣top reply 👏.

26 Jun 2024 21:39:34
Brilliant Ed absolutely top drawer mate. Made me chuckle 🤣👍.

26 Jun 2024 21:48:58
Looks good player like won't be at metz past summer i reckon.

26 Jun 2024 22:18:14
Does look a decent player yes mate👍. Soz Ed did make me chuckle with his reply 😀.

27 Jun 2024 20:34:06
Me too to prefer who doesn't love bit quick wit.

26 Jun 2024 19:42:21
£8.5. Million bid from Villa for Ben Godfrey wouldhave thought he was worth twice that.

26 Jun 2024 20:09:01
Twice that! Sorry GB are you having a laugh?

He’s last year of contract with us and has not played many games for us.

Think he could be a decent player but we can’t afford to let him go on a free next year so I’d be more than happy with £8.5m for him than losing him for nothing next year if we’re not extending his contract.

26 Jun 2024 20:33:25
Think I read Everton value him at £15 million.

26 Jun 2024 20:41:00
Any amount over £8million for a lad on his last year that can’t get in our first team is a good deal.

26 Jun 2024 21:31:31
Looks like a few in for him so might just push price up a bit.

26 Jun 2024 21:56:05
- 26
- Fast defender
- Play multiple positions
- 100 + PL apps
- England International

Not that much of a laugh.

26 Jun 2024 23:30:30
Last year of his contract and has expressed he wants to leave so 8-12 is realistic.

27 Jun 2024 08:24:34
is that much of a laugh because he's a defender who can't defend, whether that be at RB, LB or CB

lucky he's quick.

28 Jun 2024 08:44:13
8million is a great price for the Club, also a 100k lees, every week too pay out for his wages.

26 Jun 2024 19:26:52
Atalanta bid 15 million for godfrey.

27 Jun 2024 07:32:10
8.5 million, Lyon 10 million if you believe the ick bait.
