Everton Rumours

27 Nov 2025 08:48:41
If you were the Everton money men - would you be a little concerned that Dibbling, Rohl, Alcaraz, and Aznou have all had so little game time despite heavy outlays - added to Barry being such a disappoinment.

Appreciate Aznou one for the future but we really need a Lt back - we are not big enough to have one who is not good enough and one who’s not ready.

If Moyes asks for 60 million + for a striker in Jan - they could point at the close to 100million spent not being used.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think Moyes has much say in what is being paid for players Sobs, its the recruitment team who need to justify themselves mate..

27 Nov 2025 10:59:20
Not easy when you buy players then the manager doesn’t play them. Still recall people saying O’Brien can’t be good enough as the manager sees him every day.
And find it difficult to see how you can judge a player when you only give him half a game.


Players thrive on confidence and support from the manager, and at the moment a few of them appear to be on the wrong end of that.

27 Nov 2025 13:50:07
I get Aznou as he doesn't have much experience in senior level football. Add to that, physically, he is not where he needs to be.

Rohl, unfortunately is competing in positions where our starters are near enough nailed and he has had some niggling injuries. Alcaraz is very much the same. It is pointless shoe-horning in him off the wing as he is half the player there.

Barry has been disappointing up to the last two games and his competition doesn't offer much more. We have no other options in that position, so it is simply one or the other. Personally, it is good to see Barry's work ethic is improving but I think there were much better options out there to get us goals.

Dibling is the weird one. He has already shown that he is physically ready for the PL and put some very good defences to the sword last season. I get that he has our best player ahead of him if he is to play off the right flank but surely we could have got more game time out of him later on in games or when players have been unavailable e. g. Grealish loan/city, KDH yellow card ban etc.

{Ed025's Note - Dibling may get his chance when AFCON is on BN..

27 Nov 2025 14:04:39
So you want to change a winning team to keep the money men happy. I really do give up! Who are you suggesting we drop to give these players minutes? This page would be full of negative Moyes post if he changed a winning team and we lost.

27 Nov 2025 15:07:57
Who mentioned changing a winning team (though we have only won our last two) but anyway. Football is a squad game now not just about eleven players.
What I’m saying is Moyes knows he is going to lose certain players soon so it would make sense to give them a bit more game time.


Or we could just go with eleven and hope we don’t have any injuries🤷‍♂️.

27 Nov 2025 15:11:31
Don't need to change the team just need to give other players the opportunity to show what they can do. Five minutes at the end of a game won't do that.
Oh by the way, if you don't keep the money men happy then you won't be the manager for very long. Remember they pay your wages too.

27 Nov 2025 17:17:12
We will see what DM thinks of Dibling when Ndiaye goes to the Afcon. if he starts Mcneil then i think we know the answer. looking forward to see who he replaces idrissa with on sat. Will he start Tim? Or play Garner and KDH in midfield with Ndiaye or Mcneil as the number 10 i would play charly as number 10 myself.

27 Nov 2025 18:05:12
You play your way into the team in training and when you get on the pitch. If Dibling was tearing it up, he’d be in. Let’s hope he takes his chance in the next few months.

27 Nov 2025 18:09:49
Agree Ron but Moyes doesn’t seem that keen on Alcaraz, so can see Tim coming in for Gana.

{Ed025's Note - the thing is that Alcaraz can be a bit gung ho at times BMD and im not sure he could replicate the defensive qualities of Gana mate..

27 Nov 2025 19:09:19
Id love to see KDH played in place of a suspended Gana and play Alcaraz in the no10 position. I love his direct play of turning and driving towards the back 4. Plus he us quite good with his head even though he's small in stature. A bit Cahill esq.

27 Nov 2025 19:26:40
Comparing the levels of a PL football match and training is pointless. There are plenty of players who are completely different animals on the pitch when it matters.

Ndiaye is head and shoulders our best player, so I understand why Dibling isn't getting in ahead of him but there have been plenty of opportunities to give him some minutes and bed him in, whether that is on the right-flank or elsewhere. This is a much better option than just chucking him in out of the blue when Ndiaye goes off to AFCON and expecting him to hit the ground running without having had an opportunity to build up any rhythm or confidence, something which ALL attacking players thrive off.

This stuff about him "not doing it in training" is baffling. Why is a professional footballer who's attitude has never been called into question previously in his short career, at club or international level, all of a sudden going to become a bad trainer with an attitude problem.

Who knows the real reason why he hasn't been getting minutes. It could simply be an age issue, as we know the manager prefers playing more experienced players. That being said, we spent 40m on him and if he isn't going to be in the managers plans, we at least need to give him minutes to, at the very minimum, retain his value and then we can mark it down as a hit and miss and move him on elsewhere. Clearly what is not the right thing to do, is to just not play him and what his value fall off a cliff.

{Ed001's Note - he has had past problems when at Chelsea as a youngster, which led to him returning to Southampton. It was reported as homesickness, but there were a few claims at the time that Chelsea just wanted him out due to a poor attitude.}

27 Nov 2025 19:35:31
I never mentioned changing a winning team Reg - I think it’s reasonable though to give players time on the pitch who have cost over 100 million - if they are not good enough - serious questions need to be asked as to why - especially Dibling who we went back for over and over in the summer.


He cost 35-40 million - Moyes stated “he is quiet and needs to improve training and also learn game better” - strange for someone not to be ready to cost so much and only on a 4 year contract.

27 Nov 2025 20:38:10
Brassington Blue you keep the money men happy by winning games and raising the profile of the club by climbing the table and competing in the cup competitions not by playing players the manager doesn't think are good enough at the moment. Simple really.

27 Nov 2025 22:01:55
I got a bit of heat suggesting we had over paid for these guys (not on here) . 25-45m for a player should be starting in a team at our level if we’re being honest. Hope they get a go and prove me wrong.

{Ed025's Note - no heat from me Bobby mate...i agree with you..

28 Nov 2025 08:23:52
Not doing so well in the cup comps eh Reg😂.

28 Nov 2025 21:53:14
I’m with you Bobby: I expected Dibling starting on the right each game and Ndiaye and Grealish to interchange left wing and the ten with KDH deeper with Gueye.

£45m for any player should be a starter.

22 Nov 2025 15:30:33
Linked with the Brazilian Leighton Baines - Caio Henrique.

24 Nov 2025 16:39:00
I like him but would depend on the cost. I’d love to have him as our starter and Aznou as his backup.

Send Mykolenko to Blyth Spartans, if they’d have him.

21 Nov 2025 17:17:19
Rohl out for a few weeks having had an operation on a hernia. hope he is back for when idrissa jets off to the Afcon cup.

21 Nov 2025 18:48:04
Only a couple weeks apparently.

21 Nov 2025 21:19:27
Be longer than 2 weeks looking at 5 to 6 weeks.

22 Nov 2025 00:10:25
Oh yes he is, oh no he isn’t.

22 Nov 2025 11:13:43
Hopefully we haven’t just bought another Bgamin.

22 Nov 2025 16:58:00
BDM, he’s only on loan isn’t he?

22 Nov 2025 17:12:29
He is but we have an obligation to buy him for around £22 million i think 🤔.

25 Nov 2025 12:50:17
Hernia is a few weeks if the Club said a couple of weeks, it wasn't a hernia.

26 Nov 2025 05:06:29
Had it done after the Fulham game and should be back around xmas i think .

20 Nov 2025 17:08:25
Hope what i just read about us being open to selling Garner for £20 million in January is Garbage and we offer him a decent contract extension. ward prowse to replace him in a loan to buy deal. 31 year old to replace a 24 year old sounds like us.

{Ed025's Note - its pathetic Ron, hopefully nonsense mate and if not the powers that be at the club need shooting with a ball of their own shoite..

20 Nov 2025 17:41:35
I can’t believe that RM he’s massive for us mate.

21 Nov 2025 07:00:51
Who is saying this? Young kids who call themselves journalists. I can't see us selling anyone this period, it's obvious what we need and we have to cover for two of our best players during the African tournament.

21 Nov 2025 12:14:34
Reading today that Davey is doing all he can to get Garner to sign a new contract.

21 Nov 2025 15:09:47
Spot on Mike. Half these so called "Journalists" have barely left university with their shiny new degrees. All bollocks mate.

21 Nov 2025 15:36:33
Reading he earns £30 grand a week he must of been pissed off the last 2 seasons knowing we was paying jack harrisons £90 grand a wk wages. we need to keep him so i hope we reach an agreement with him.

21 Nov 2025 17:19:11
Everyone is jumping on this Garner story as though it's gospel truth when it's clearly a clickbait rumour started by a nobody, that has somehow snowballed into a continuous talking point.

Here's the situation:

Initial rumour - teams are lining up to sign Garner for a cheap fee in January and Everton will cash in so he doesn't walk away for free in the summer.

Accurate situation - Everton are not considering offers for Garner at all. Yes, technically his contract expires in the summer, but we also have the option to automatically extend his contract by a further 12 months. Therefore he quite simply won't be leaving on a free in June, and obviously means we are not scrambling to get any fee possible in January.

Contract negotiations will commence with Garner in due course. Whether he chooses to sign a new contract is anyone's guess, but this story doing the rounds at present is simply nonsense.

Btw, not been on for quite a while indeed so hope everyone is ok and living their best life! 🤘.

{Ed025's Note - nice to see you back Worcester, and good info mate..

21 Nov 2025 17:39:43
Good info mate.

21 Nov 2025 18:57:35
Each to their own Ed mate for some weird reason some don’t think so mate.

21 Nov 2025 19:30:53
Reckon if manu want garner then we want mainoo or it's no deal be a good swap manu are skint and in billions of debt and old Traffords falling down.

23 Nov 2025 11:23:02
We won’t be selling Garner. He plays in so many positions he’s a Moyes dream. He’ll be offered a good deal and I’d be surprised if he turns it down. The team is improving and quality is slowly being added. Branthwaite and Pickford have recently renewed and others will follow.

18 Nov 2025 08:39:31
Reading we are back looking at bringing in Scott McTomenay oops spelling, would be a good addition.

18 Nov 2025 13:06:55
Had an outstanding couple of seasons.

18 Nov 2025 13:49:17
Would cost a lot of money for a player who is doing great in Italy but wasn’t great in England.

We also have other positions we need to prioritise over another midfielder.

18 Nov 2025 14:37:12
He worn the league in Italy and was on the BalleOnDor list.
With Garner at RB and Guaye off to AFCON, we are light in midfield.
I don’t actually think this will happen, in fact I’d say it’s nonsense, but it would be a fantastic signing if it were true.

19 Nov 2025 00:28:06
Maybe someone at the club will remember that we need a centre-forward who can score goals and a right-back who can both defend and is capable of crossing the ball. Over here when we have a draft the discussion is whether it is better to take a player for a needed position or to take the best player available (one who might not fit a needed position) .

I don't care how good Scott McTomenay or anyone else is, if they can't play those two positions move on to someone who can.

19 Nov 2025 15:50:17
He’s in some great form and I wouldn’t turn that transfer down. But we must focus on goals. We need a striker and full back. All our energy should be trying to strengthen there.

19 Nov 2025 19:20:20
Cracking goal lastnight aswell.

20 Nov 2025 12:10:41
It sure was mate.

22 Nov 2025 12:27:45
Look the question is would he improvement on what we have. If the answer is yes then we should try to get him. If no then move on.

{Ed025's Note - for me BMD we have the likes of KDH and Jimmy who can do that job, we have other positions that need addressing imo mate..

17 Nov 2025 15:53:49
Reading we are looking to sell Tim in January, would go along with that not good enough unfortunately,

17 Nov 2025 18:38:34
Only if we get a replacement in. We have no one who can sit in front of the back four.

Weirdly enough he did that job well against Fulham and I’m not his biggest fan at all.

17 Nov 2025 19:46:44
Think it would be a mistake. Think he has all the technical qualities to be top quality, just needs a lot of development on the mental aspects, which he needs more top level game time for.

Also, how much will we even get for him? If it's not going to be a good profit, which i doubt it will be, what's the point? He's not on big wages and is valuable depth. Would be a bizarre decision if true.

17 Nov 2025 20:26:28
Bought him for £9 million I think from Villa.

{Ed025's Note - i thought it was a straight swap for Dobbin GB?..

17 Nov 2025 20:50:56
No I think we paid £10m for him and received £10m for Dobbin

As academy outgoings for both teams, it’s listed as pure profit while the outgoing fee’s are listed in installments.

17 Nov 2025 21:06:07
Deal benefitted both clubs for FFP, academy player income being pure profit.

18 Nov 2025 13:07:42
Perhaps it's because they are looking to bring in McTominay? Get him and their could be a reshuffle in midfield, leaving very little playing time if any for Tim.

17 Nov 2025 11:45:40
I see Troy Parrott now being linked with us this morning, think this signing would see our team ‘flying’ up the league table in no time 😉.

17 Nov 2025 12:12:15
As long as we sign Troy Parrott and not Troy Hawke, although would love to see him as an official greeter at Hill Dickinson.

17 Nov 2025 13:25:40
We'll end up signing John Parrott by an accident.

17 Nov 2025 13:44:34
I think if we sign him, we'll have 'flapped' it once again, and confirmed how caw-ful our striker recruitment team is.

I'm sure he's a decent player, but underwhelmed at every level he played at in England and is only thriving in a league Jozy Altidore and Vincent Janssen were prolific. I know there's exceptions to that rule, and too easy to just dismiss the Eredivisie outright, but if we're hoping to keep hold of our best players, whoever we get up top HAS to be proven quality.

17 Nov 2025 16:22:24
If we get him people will just say he's crap, he's crap' he's crap squawk!

18 Nov 2025 01:56:35
Plenty of other strikers I would rather go after but I think you have been quite harsh on Parrot there.

His spells in the lower English leagues, arguably some of the most physically challenging leagues in the world, were whilst he was a teenager. He wasn't fortunate to blessed with the physical attributes to cope in those leagues whilst he was earning his trade.

His first loan at Millwall he got very unlucky with 2 serious injuries and was recalled in the Jan before going on loan to Ipswich where he was behind our best strikers twin brother Will and Alan Judge.

The following season - 10 goals and 7 assists for MK Dons at 19 isn't too bad.

Fell off when stepping up to the Champ with Preston, only managing 3 for the season but Ched Evans was their starting striker and Parrot was fighting it out for minutes with Liam Delap who only got 1 that season and was one of the most sought after strikers in the league this summer before moving to Chelsea.

He then moved over to Holland and hasn't stopped scoring since. He scored 17 goals for a side that got relegated and then moved to AZ where he has a better record than 1 in 2 for them in the league and in Europe.

Not to mention his recent exploits for the Irish National Side, as recently as this week where he secured them qualification to the World Cup on his own, scoring a brace against Portugal and a hat-trick against Hungary.

The lad has good technique and his movement brilliant. I am sure that Seamus will have his share of input on the move and he doesn't strike me as the sort to keep quiet if he has any concerns that the lad wouldn't be able to hack it at PL level.

I would rather have him than Beto and Barry because he is a natural and instinctive goal scorer but I would want him battling it out with a striker that has been contributing to goals consistently in a better league like a Burkardt, Demirovic, Embolo or Castellanos,

18 Nov 2025 13:10:55
I was joking BN read it again. I have no idea if this lad would improve us or not. Seen many do well in the Championship only to disappear in the Prem. Maybe he would buck the trend, who knows.

18 Nov 2025 16:26:34
That reply was to the post above you Brass. I actually laughed at your joke last night before replying and couldn't understand who could give it a thumbs down tbh mate hahaha.

18 Nov 2025 17:14:22
Soz mate no worries.

20 Nov 2025 11:06:57
That's all very valid, tbf, BlueNose. I'm sure he is a decent player, and no doubt he would be an upgrade on B&B up top, but i still stand by the point that whoever we get Needs to be quality. We can't take another risk on someone who Might work out, but there is mixed evidence on whether they would - plus, he was very highly rated at Tottenham, but they still chose to let him go for pretty cheap. Obviously mistakes can be made, but I trust their judgement of strikers more than I trust our own scouts, and the story of a player who struggles in England, has success abroad, then struggles back in England again is a bit too familiar (Lookman, Sancho, Nelson etc. ) .

Either way, I wouldn't be disappointed if we got him (depending on price) , but i would be worried if he's the only striker we get, and if he got fewer than 10 goals between Jan and the end of the season, I think we might not be seeing Ndiaye or Grealish play for us next season, either.

16 Nov 2025 13:10:51
Vultures are circling for Jimmy Garner. I hope the powers that be have got things sorted.

{Ed025's Note - so do i WT, it will be hell of a blow if he departed mate..

16 Nov 2025 14:47:54
Do not want to lose him.

16 Nov 2025 17:55:32
Why anyone would want Ndiaye gone is beyond me Strewth.

16 Nov 2025 17:59:06
Don't worry, it's inevitable that other teams want our best players and the press make a field day of it. The only reason that we will sell is if it makes economic sense and it will not be in this January unless the offer is too good to turn down.

16 Nov 2025 18:19:40
And Garner excellent player Strewth.

18 Nov 2025 07:53:05
I read we have an option of another year on his co tract, so unless everton want to sell there's no worry.

15 Nov 2025 22:01:30
Reading that we had scouts in Dublin watching the ROI striker Parrott, Scored 2, 23 y/o previously at spurs no playing in Greece.

16 Nov 2025 01:11:15
He plays for Az Alkmaar Big C and has 6 in 7 for them this season.

Remember hearing about this lad under Mourinho, who actually gave him his debut at Spurs.

16 Nov 2025 18:55:58
Hope we don't get snookered.

16 Nov 2025 19:07:08
Cheers BN I knew it was a weird sounding team name with a Z involved so guessed at Greece 🤣🤣.

13 Nov 2025 11:46:12
Myles Lewis-Skelly from Arsenal getting linked again with us, Myko contract ending soon I believe, not seen MLS play is he any good.

13 Nov 2025 13:33:44
Very good player got a few Red cards last season playing LB as his natural position is midfield. Arsenal were short with LB's last season and he stepped in when asked. Are we after signing him or loaning him GB🤔🤔.

13 Nov 2025 14:32:41
I saw this yesterday GB but thought it was a pipe dream mate. The lad is top quality. His position from the youth is actually in midfield but Mikel used him at LB and sometimes RB last season.

Head and shoulders above Myko.

13 Nov 2025 17:04:26
I think it was to sign him mate.

13 Nov 2025 17:15:39
Really Can't see that being cheap but would definitely sign him if possible.

13 Nov 2025 17:23:20
It will be a loan if it happens.

13 Nov 2025 17:53:39
He will do, different class to Mykolenko.

14 Nov 2025 17:43:58
Definitely a quality player, but absolutely no chance we get him, and he wouldn't make sense in our team.

He's a CM playing left back, so he constantly looks to drift into the middle. We need a LB who can overlap and give Grealish another option when he holds the ball up, not another player moving into the middle and into the same space as KDH and Garner.

Don't get me wrong, he would be a huge quality improvement on Mykolenko, but we can't just buy players because they're good without thinking of how they fit in the system - that's how we ended up in the situation we were in under Koeman and beyond, and why United have been so bad for 10 years.

14 Nov 2025 23:43:42
What system?

We didn't end up in the situation by buying quality players that didn't work in a system that we never even had. We ended up in the situation by buying sh**e players that can't even get into their own sides, that became cast offs on over inflated wages and drained us dry whilst turning in lacklustre performances. Other than that we turned down multiple opportunities to buy quality players and instead took risks to appease friends of an owner that has zero clue about running a football club.

I would prefer us to come up with a system in the first place or buy quality players to help progress the team forward. We certainly shouldn't turn down a player based on the fact that he might not suit a player that may not even be here next season.

You are right though, zero chance we get him.

16 Nov 2025 19:00:36
Not sure what our plan is to be honest. We recruited Dibling, Aznou, Rohl who have hardly played, Alacaraz who has limited playing time and Barry who is evidently not ready. All this is long term recruitment I guess, presumably being pushed by the new club management/recruitment team and obviously not in Moyes short term plans.

You can then add Armstrong and maybe another to the long term list. Maybe we can now focus on the short term needs and we all know what positions need strengthening. Hopefully so do the recruitment team with Moyes in agreement so he will use them right away. Fed up with this "not ready" bull-sh*t.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Mike, concentrate on today because tomorrow may never come..

12 Nov 2025 13:31:58
Reading that Wolves want Dwight McNeil in January come and get him.

12 Nov 2025 17:40:42
Bye bye 👋.

13 Nov 2025 07:22:34
You say that but when illiman is away we I'll need him unless we by someone else.

13 Nov 2025 17:52:56
Or maybe play Dibling BP. Hopefully Moyes remembers we still have him.

14 Nov 2025 12:32:32
Sell him, replace him with someone better. Repeat for a few others.
