Some of the stories from the start of this window are just mad and I don't think there's one I believe is true.

City are trying to offload a load of players and using the press to throw around clubs names to see if any bite. Stones, Greiish and Walker have all been.

Don’t want their old players. We need a model that can allow for value beyond their playing time with us. Sign at a time where if the player does well we make money or if not at least we can offload with age on their side to recoup at least some value. That won’t happen with Stones or Walker. Grealish is another matter. Can’t see him wanting to come to us though.


2.) 03 Jun 2025 14:25:56
Don’t want any oldies coming back just got rid of a few already, time for young recruits, in TFG We Trust.


3.) 03 Jun 2025 15:02:04
I would take Mcatee from them though.


4.) 03 Jun 2025 17:37:32
Yep he’s a good player RM mate.


 

 

31 Jan 2025 16:56:47
Carlos Alcaraz has supposedly signed for us. No idea who is. The name scares me a little but hey there you go!

BlueJohnUns

1.) 31 Jan 2025 17:10:01
His wiki page says he’s an Argentine midfielder who’s on loan at Everton from flamenco serie A, mangala must have gone back?! Wtf looking for further confirmation and then reels!


2.) 31 Jan 2025 17:14:27
Further to my previous it’s on ssn transfer live blog and Flamengo Brazil serie A agreed with possible option to buy. Was at Southampton last season apparently.


3.) 31 Jan 2025 17:26:25
Was he good at Southampton? as I don’t know this fella. But was at juventus as well apparently from the article I read €18 million is what flamengo payed for him.


4.) 31 Jan 2025 17:31:14
Spent second half of the season on loan at Juve which ain’t a bad thing not a bad age
Loan with obligation to buy if certain criteria are met from reports
I am sure I read that these “obligation to buy” were viewed differently in the ever changing loan world to straight loans and option to buy ones.


5.) 31 Jan 2025 17:47:25
I’m liking the way this has gone under the radar and not the three ring circus under Moshiri.


6.) 31 Jan 2025 18:11:39
Totally agree Big C
And the right profile of player for me

Reluctantly just spoke to a mate who unfortunately for him is a saints fan but then currently likes to remind me how we gave Russell Martin his only win ?

Anyway he said Alcaraz imposes well on the game, loves a tackle, like most Argentine midfielders
Likes to progress forward and good passer so that’s a Doucoure upgrade
Also good with a dead ball

Sounds a good acquisition.

Jack Harrison close according to Paul Joyce and Bobble.

BlueJohnUns

{Ed002's Note - For the LW collection.}


1.) 13 Aug 2023 12:15:21
We’d surely be bringing him in to play on the right. I don’t think we even have a right winger in the squad after Townsend left.


2.) 13 Aug 2023 12:45:47
Wiki have Jack Harrison as an Everton player someone’s quick sadly they write Everton F c obviously too quick to press the caps key!


3.) 13 Aug 2023 12:53:06
Maybe so Gibbo but his preferred/ best position is on the left, why can't we just sign an actual right winger?


4.) 13 Aug 2023 12:57:37
He is better than any LW we have anyway and comfortably, so I don't see too much of a problem.

{Ed002's Note - Danjuma has also been added and other parts of the squad need work.}


5.) 13 Aug 2023 13:03:06
We do love to collect our LW’s Ed.


6.) 13 Aug 2023 13:29:56
Harrison is better than Danjuma and I would rather blood in a permanent signing than a loan. Danjuma's favoured position is LW but he would provide better cover up front than Maupay would.


7.) 13 Aug 2023 14:37:28
He does also play right wing. It gives us options on both side of the pitch. Danjuma looks like he may be a decent CF. He made some intelligent runs yesterday.


8.) 13 Aug 2023 15:32:28
Harrison is on loan isn't he.


9.) 13 Aug 2023 15:37:01
Good teams have good players pushing the starters. Levels raise naturally. Who wouldn't rather have better attacking options than we did last year, even if some of them hinder others by playing in their favoured positions.

Harrison for me would be an upgrade on any player we currently have. He works his bollocks off up and down the wing and is well drilled, whilst offering greater attacking output than what we currently have in wide areas. McNeil isn't anywhere near the same player on the right side. So I wouldn't mind Harrison playing on the right over an Iwobi or a Garner. Both of those players should be competing with the others for spots in the middle of the park. With Garner he could even be played at RB for the season if this is Pattersons level.

Obligation to buy on Harrison would be a fantastic deal for us as I don't think it would take up a loan spot but could be wrong there.


10.) 13 Aug 2023 15:37:12
I read somewhere that Danjuma can play across the line.


11.) 13 Aug 2023 15:59:01
Jack Harrison might be left foot footed but he likes to play on the right hand side so he can cut in.


12.) 13 Aug 2023 16:07:23
Well I didn't see that coming!


13.) 13 Aug 2023 16:15:15
Definitely a massive upgrade to what we have, typical SD player.


14.) 13 Aug 2023 17:17:07
Danjuma right footed likes LW but comfortable across the line. Jack Harrison left footed LW but comfortable on the RW.


15.) 13 Aug 2023 17:28:35
Rumours he’s another Leeds player with a relegation release clause so maybe it’s a permanent deal
Good business either way.


16.) 13 Aug 2023 17:36:58
Never mind gone to Villa!


 

 

16 Jun 2021 20:44:08
Now coming out he hasn't been offered the job. my head hurts!

1.) 17 Jun 2021 11:51:23
You and me BJU, I'm sick of reading articles, that contrast the previous one I read. Seem to be going round and round in circles. Does anyone know what is actually going on?
I mean it looked nailed on we were getting Nuno, now it looks like we are getting Rafa, another article saying we are in talks with a return of Martinez, and another still linking us with potter. I think we have been linked with every manager in the history of the game.
Next one will be a return to the premier League for Alex Ferguson.
Glad we aren't just jumping into an appointment, but it sounds as though we don't know who we want.
At least there are managers interested!

COYB.


2.) 17 Jun 2021 17:35:29
The news outlets just keep stirring it all up and you have the News Now click bate website. I need to learn to just go on holiday and chillout for a bit whilst all this goes on and by the time I'm home it's all sorted.

Instead sat here clicking refresh 20 times a second on NN with an ever decreasing bottle of whisky!


 

 

05 Oct 2020 12:02:01
It's gone mental with reports Zaha is being negotiated.

Not sure how true this is and I don't think it's possible at all. Let's wait and see.

BlueJohnUns

1.) 05 Oct 2020 12:19:49
Palace have been mentioned as having interest in Walcott too. Our forward options would be exceptional if this were true - fear it may just be lazy journalism.

{Ed002's Note - Walcott is not going to CP.}


2.) 05 Oct 2020 12:34:40
Interesting you're not saying "Zaha is not going to Everton" Ed.


3.) 05 Oct 2020 13:01:52
I can take him or leave him. I'm more interested in a GK option than Zaha.

Apart from that Walcott looks like he may go, bolasie is the one being talked about going to CP and besic to rangers with Kean already gone.

That's some good business if it happens. Can't think of anything more we could have done.


4.) 05 Oct 2020 13:12:31
I really don't see Zaha link being true to not this late in the window!


5.) 05 Oct 2020 13:38:06
Zaha will be with Palace for the rest of his career now unless they get relegated.


6.) 05 Oct 2020 13:57:47
I can't either and not fussed about him at all. A few are reporting we are in for romero from untied now. I'd be very happy with that one though.

{Ed025's Note - he would be my choice john..


7.) 05 Oct 2020 14:28:18
Think Bolasie and Besic would both look good in a Palace shirt ;0)


8.) 05 Oct 2020 14:32:23
I don't see how Saha gets in our starting eleven at the moment. He's a good player but I'd rather any money be spent on a quality GK to compete with JP and some loan CF to give DCL a rest every 5/ 6 games and come on as impact. On a similar note, any whispers on Carlo thoughts on Tosun as he's not had a sniff or mention but with MK going out on loan, maybe this will change? Don't think he's injured and he can certainly finish if supplied.


9.) 05 Oct 2020 14:45:40
Shows how far we’ve come if that’s true. Realistically, one of our front three will either have a knock or need resting most weeks - Zaha would get plenty of game time. Also, James R can play the no.10 with 2 holding midfielders so all 4 could play. He would strengthen the squad, no doubt there. If we can get rid of 4/ 5 squad players, it’s not impossible.


10.) 05 Oct 2020 14:56:21
I agree corner. Tosun is another one who may do a decent job now we have better cohesion up front. We need to give these players a chance with the added quality we've already added.


11.) 05 Oct 2020 15:16:55
Tosun got a bad injury last season while on loan at Palace. He’s still injured as far as I know.


12.) 05 Oct 2020 15:39:55
Tosun out until new year I think, torn ACL.

Welcome to Everton Kenny Tete!

He's a decent player although did have a bad injury. Although on a free transfer, I'll take that as it leaves more money for our main targets.

BlueJohnUns

1.) 22 Jun 2025 11:24:25
Seems like a sensible signing to me.


2.) 22 Jun 2025 11:37:48
Solid bit of business. Can defend and decent going forward too. Getting things moving.


3.) 22 Jun 2025 11:51:41
Check out his Wikipedia page ??.


4.) 22 Jun 2025 12:12:07
That will put pay to the Kyle Walker rumours.


5.) 22 Jun 2025 15:40:55
Not a mention of him prior to today. Just goes to show that Everton are doing business professionally and so called journalists know feck all.

If he signs then it is a decent bit of business.

UTFT NSNO IMWT.


6.) 22 Jun 2025 17:50:19
Seen an article that Tete is amongst the top 10% in Europe for defence and attacking capabilities. Fulham fans on twitter are gutted he's going. Could be a shrewd signing for us.


7.) 22 Jun 2025 21:44:50
If he can pass the medical yes.

{Ed025's Note - wow John, thats a lot of money for the man in the street mate, im having 2 goes on the lottery this week.. :)


1.) 20 Jun 2025 19:42:57
Pricing isn't great for the average man but there will be people who will pay these prices and, let's be honest, if we want to generate more money then this is what a new stadium brings. To be fair, the price of season tickets isn't too bad at all when you consider it's a brand new stadium.


2.) 20 Jun 2025 19:32:06
I just hope we sell out the stadium each game Ed. Nothing worse than a load of empty seats that could have been filled if the prices were reasonable.

{Ed025's Note - i think we will early doors BR, how the team perform will i imagine determine the size of crowd after that mate, lets hope we get off to a flyer..


3.) 20 Jun 2025 19:46:01
Yikes! I guess we have to pay for the stadium somehow but as you said ED, that is a lot of money for the average person.

I really hope we don't start hiking prices too much to pay for the stadium, aka what man utd seem to be doing and alienating fans.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think we will Jase because our fans wont stand for any nonsense like that mate, i think it will be alright on the night as they say and TFG will be the owners we have been waiting for..


4.) 20 Jun 2025 20:30:22
Think this is just Everton playing catch up with the rest of the league and particularly those clubs with facilities to do it.
Unfortunately, the working man is no longer the target audience for any football club despite what they say.
Progress comes at a cost.


5.) 21 Jun 2025 10:27:12
I am a little out of date having been retired for 20 years but my company had four expensive seats at Yankee Stadium. They were used by some of the executives in the company but mainly entertaining customers. The whole deal was a package that involved the ride to the stadium and a meal after the game. It's the American way.
Not sure it is a bad thing providing there is sufficient lower cost seating for the average supporter. It's a balancing act with a two tier system, you want to increase match day revenue by attracting corporate interest without alienation your loyal fan base. I wouldn't worry too much, the Americans are pretty good at this type of financial dealings, they have a lot of experience.
A lot of crap with other things but this is not one of them.


 

 

10 Jun 2025 12:19:14
I do hope you all get chance to hear DCL's youtube interview on High Performance. It may give us all a better perspective of who he is and the pressures of what he has gone through.

I know some will say about the money he gets and this and that but its very easy to forget they are human and have the same emotions as everyone else.

Some talk about players like they're just an object to abuse because they are frustrated or dismiss any part of them being human with an expectation that they should perform at a high level regardless of any personal circumstances like injuries, mental health or just personal pressure. However, I imagine there's plenty on here and the keyboard warriors on social media that would crumble with just a fraction of the expectation of 100's of thousands of people and pressure to deliver.

He wasn't woe me or feeling sorry for himself and if anything he came across with regrets with injuries and other social aspects and understood why people were frustrated with him.

I said this the other day on here about him but only watched the full story today. We really do need in society to have a better, more intelligent understanding of how we can affect, negatively other people, whether they are footballers or not and actually if we are more positive and less personal in our criticism, the impact can be much different.

Being critical of how someone plays, not contributing to the team or not scoring enough goals, DCL absolutely takes it on the chin and owns it. Taking aim with personal comments about him and his family is the real negative impact.

BlueJohnUns

1.) 10 Jun 2025 13:08:38
If he doesn't like it he can always get another job, he doesn't have to play football or does he like the money to much, like to see him come to work with me for a week or spend some time in the military.


2.) 10 Jun 2025 13:40:52
Empathetic as usual, skylark. Let's hope you never have to go through any kind of mental health issues!


3.) 10 Jun 2025 13:55:10
Hmm. Skylark I wonder how long you'd last if everyone around you screamed abuse at you while trying to do your job? And then after having that for an hour an half you take a look at your social media you having a load more abuse thrown at you?

How about after working all of your life from a young age, you and your family making sacrifices and getting your dream job, get told by someone who doesn't even know what you've had to go through to 'get another job'.

If you've achieved your dream, or put your life before others, then you'd understand that sacrifice is sacrifice and if you can't appreciate that and think you've got a right to abuse that person or have a lack of empathy, then I feel pity and sorry for you.

To be fair he hasn't given up like you may have done. Instead he's kept at it and tried to give his best. So fair play to him.

I hope you don't have to put anything up with that and wish you the best of health mate.


4.) 10 Jun 2025 14:23:55
Yes they are Human BJU but they put themselves out there in the publuc eye and extremely well paid. As for your what if it was you remark. Skylark probably was ???.


5.) 10 Jun 2025 14:30:18
You have no idea what I've been through and I can tell you it's a lot worse than what DCL and most on here have ever been through.


6.) 10 Jun 2025 14:33:28
I've not seen it yet, but as someone that has struggled a bit with mental health issues recently, I totally sympathise with him.

And as BJU says, it must be brutal the amount of abuse that some players receive! Yeah the money is great but I can promise you, when you're going through the struggle money really doesn't matter.


7.) 10 Jun 2025 14:50:15
Don’t parade round in a dress with a handbag if you don’t want abuse. Sorry. I didn’t give him any and not condoning it but any walk of life - especially footballers are going to get stick and I’m sure he must have know it.
He’s been garbage for us for one reason or another - wish him well but he is there to score goals and simply doesn’t score.


8.) 10 Jun 2025 14:56:44
I wouldn't put my personal life on social media blue John, it's personal, would you like me to explain to you how my wife was killed at the age of 28 and the mental health problems I went through? No I will keep it to myself, I'm sorry if I offend you by not feeling sorry for DCL but I just can't bring myself to feel sorry for him,


9.) 10 Jun 2025 15:04:23
Maybe not skylark but, if you've been through worse, why would you put someone down when they go public with their own problems? As i said, empathetic as ever!


10.) 10 Jun 2025 15:51:55
There is a quick and easy fix - do not go on social media.

The "pressure" comes with the territory. You are no9 for a PL football team and get paid handsomely to deal with the pressure.

Not for one minute condoning personal abuse but personally speaking, it wouldn't effect me what a stranger has to say about me, especially if it was words on a screen. His poor performances on the pitch have been an occurrence long before any of this abuse started, so it just sounds like an excuse to me.

Add the fact that he brought the pressure onto himself by proclaiming he was good enough to be no9 for England. He has held himself in high regard for a while and still does clearly, regarding his want to play in a CL team.

Everyone deals with pressure in life. A lot of us will be feeling the pressure to provide for our families and put food on the table, that is real pressure. This lad will never have to worry about money or security in his life. No sympathy from me.


11.) 10 Jun 2025 16:15:56
Footballers are like pop stars and movie stars now. They put themselves on all formats of social media, and seem quite happy to publicise themselves at every opportunity.
Does that raise envy in some supporters possibly. To watch someone who is paid huge amounts of money underperform just adds to that.
You don't have to be a rich footballer to suffer from depression. It affects all people in all walks of life, it's just some don't feel the need to advertise it on social media.
As for Skylark, well making assumptions on the lads personnel life is just doing what you are accusing supporters of doing to DCL. Perhaps you should apologize for that.


12.) 10 Jun 2025 17:31:08
Sorry no apologies from me the man is an idiot.


13.) 10 Jun 2025 18:22:45
I see it from both sides. But when our team is under performing and doing bad, it's the fans that suffer. We get depressed. We get down. I understand that it might affect certain players as well but I think it is the fans who feel it more. If a team is relegated, it's the fans that suffer. Players will be sold and go to different clubs, kiss their badge, and forget all about the previous bad times. Yet again, us fans have to suffer. So I find it hard to feel sorry for people getting paid ridiculous sums of money to do something we would all love to do. If I was rubbish at my job I'd be replaced with someone else, I wouldn't just get left sitting on a bench picking up the same wage. Most players don't give a toss about the fans anymore, should we give a toss about them?


14.) 10 Jun 2025 18:27:29
Not sure Brass meant you Skylark mate.


15.) 10 Jun 2025 18:36:41
Wowsers. Some people have the cognitive ability to consider others in an empathetic way and some others seem to think it's an opportunity to uninvited, measure their Johnson's. Disgusting as per usual.


16.) 10 Jun 2025 19:08:56
The whole issue surrounding mental health will never be overcome while there are people who equate wealth and a persons state of mind.

You can be rich and have problems with your mental health, likewise you can be poor and have problems with your mental health. Money and profession doesn't come into it, it can hit anyone at any time, wherever they are or whatever they do.

For those who just want to give the lad pelters, ask yourself one question before you have your pop at him. Would you verbally abuse or post horrible things on social media to someone who was not famous because you felt they weren't doing their job properly?


17.) 10 Jun 2025 19:42:21
DCL is a young lad who whilst being a talented enough footballer to make it in the PL is still a human. Someone’s partner, someone’s son etc. so putting it this way, how would you say it if he was stood next to you with his family present?

Let’s show some class people. They have feelings just like we do.


18.) 10 Jun 2025 19:53:02
Wow - that escalated quickly!

Each to their own.

DCL needed a carrot, not the stick in my opinion.


19.) 10 Jun 2025 20:53:27
I am betting some of the old gits on here and our area are veterans and so have certainly got the T shirt. Family at home worrying meant cracking up, mistakes wasb't an option. I care of course I care but am also a cynical git. Pressure go kick a tree or beat the crap out of a bag.


20.) 11 Jun 2025 17:57:41
I'm sorry to hear that Skylark and I won't comment on your experience, I understand that is personal to you.

However, for the wider context, I was not offended and merely trying to emphasise the point of understanding someone else's point of view, circumstances and where criticism is perfectly fine abuse isn't.

I hope that people watch what he had to say because they may also go through the same things. If he's an idiot for saying what he did, the things he went through and how he coped and got through it then I hope there's more idiots out there that do the same thing and tell their story.

Seriously I do wish you the best of health. there's no animosity on my part.


 

 

03 Jun 2025 13:33:41
My fat fingers!

As I started below. City are trying to get rid of players and our name seems to one of the first to be linked with them but there isn’t a chance (I hope) of getting any of them. Stone, Grealish and Walker are being heavily linked with us, but I wouldn’t touch any of these with a barge pole. Expensive wages and way too old to try and build a new exciting team.

Mitrovic! Again he’s 30 years old and on an absolute mega contract. So, I doubt very much this is one we are looking at. The same as with Ricky although only 28. He’s not going to get any better and has loads of injuries plus is on much bigger wages than when he was first with us.

Doak looked decent in the Championship but for £30m you would want to see real premier league experience. He’s quickish, low centre of gravity and a few tricks but he’s also had a couple of injuries and a quad injury, which I think he’s had, tend to come back. However, he’s young.

For me this summer we should be looking at players like the Doak’s. There’s plenty of experience in the squad, and we have one of the oldest. PSG have just shown what you can do by getting young hungry players (I’m not suggesting for us, that we are on the same level) . These young players have sell-on value whereas the older players will be on big contracts and offer nothing in the future in terms of value.

While we have this money it needs to be invested wisely and with an eye on development with the player and value, so we never end up with a summer like this again.

This number of players going this summer is a complete disaster made by incompetent people at the club. Players on contracts way above their value and therefore unable to sell and a lack of foresight in youth and player development.

100% though Moyes will sell Branthwaite this window and get a decent amount in. He is happy to sell our best payers to get money to reinvest in the squad. Anyone thinking he doesn’t only have to look to when he was last with us. We just need to get used to it which I am.

I’m hopeful though with Moyes he’ll have his ideas and plans on transfers, but I don’t expect more than 4 or 5 players this window with may be a couple of loans. It will be a gradual thing over the next 3 to build us back up again and then hopefully it’s about making each window improving on the quality of players.

BlueJohnUns

1.) 03 Jun 2025 16:40:32
We are in a totally different place from the first time Moyes was with us. We now don't need to sell players to generate income. Under our new owners we are a completely different animal, and this lot will want to see progression quickly or Moyes will be gone.


2.) 03 Jun 2025 18:21:25
Yep and finally we can at last get rid of our poor average oldie players and recruit new decent players, TFG are the New Everton.

100% is a very bold claim mate. I don't see him going anywhere this season but, unless we improve our own standing, he will be off for European football some time in the future.


4.) 03 Jun 2025 19:01:18
We need to be realistic, we will need to sell players to generate money every team does even those at the top and if we get a decent amount for Jarred, I trust Moyes to invest it wisely if it's needed to replace an awful lot of players leaving this summer.

Moyes has no loyalties when it comes to players and will sell any player he thinks will give him more money in the pot and will have players on his 4 step whiteboard of players to replace those leaving. He's very good at playing the hard done by manager to hike up the price.

We just have to not think we're bigger than what we are right now and accept it.


5.) 03 Jun 2025 19:27:47
He might want to sell him, but he’s not the owner. They will make the final decision on if he goes or stays.


6.) 03 Jun 2025 20:55:30
Branthwaite will only be allowed to leave if he requests it. If he stays then he will succeed Tarks/ Seamus as our captain.

It is nice to see us linked with players that none of us want simply because it means financial pressures are off our backs.

Can't wait to see who we sign and the move to BMD will give us a feel of being a modern club with top 5 ambitions.

UTFT NSNO IMWT.

I'm being realistic, JB is going nowhere this window unless it's a ridiculous offer. 100m+ but that's not going to happen.

Just seems like a rant about Moyes there mate in all honesty, all you're offering is your own opinion rather than any facts! The Moyes we had back in the day isn't the same as the one in charge now.


8.) 03 Jun 2025 22:13:33
Genuinely not a rant about Moyes. He'd be clever to sell him and get the money in. If we weren't losing so many players then I'd say keep him, absolutely. But he's not daft, he knows we're not going to have 100m+ to spend in this window so will need to generate money to fund players.

Unfortunately, and again not trying to put a damper on things, we need a lot of players and getting 70/ 80m for one player will help us in the market. Sometimes you need to make a sacrifice and Moyes has been around long enough and is wise enough to know that. And he's ruthless enough to make that call.


9.) 03 Jun 2025 22:56:33
No worries, BJU. I see your logic mate but I just don't see us selling him this summer. I think we will have a decent amount to strengthen our very thin squad with no need to sell right away. That's not to say that we won't cash him in after another season or two, money talks after all. I actually think the lad is happy to have a season on the docks mate, he's certainly making the right noises about staying.


10.) 04 Jun 2025 11:26:37
Am I the only one that has heard bad things about TFG? I’m pretty sure it was Ed002 that told us to be careful for what we wish for regards to them. I guess only time will tell but I know the Roma fans are not happy with them despite them winning a cup. They feel that TFG know nothing about football.
I’m not trying to be all doom and gloom but I wouldn’t putting my whole faith in them just yet.


11.) 04 Jun 2025 13:43:43
They have stabilised Roma and put them on a better footing but they, and they've already told us this, want their teams to be self sustaining. That means the budget we'll get will not be extravagant.

Some think they're going to spend 100, 200m but that is not likely.

I think next year is probably going to be better and on the years to come with big developments in and around the stadium to increase revenue.

Like Roma fans though, we are already setting ourselves unrealistic expectations.


12.) 04 Jun 2025 21:03:52
They might not know football, but they are employing people who do. And ultimately they will make the decisions.


13.) 05 Jun 2025 01:29:57
So, know one over 28, unless their on a free, and please, it really is time for DCL to move on, likewise Keane.
Yes they may produce elsewhere, but it's time for us to move on.


14.) 05 Jun 2025 09:12:05
Why would we want to sign a player who has been plagued by injuries over the last few years? Doesn’t matter how much experience he has, if he’s not on the pitch then what use is he?

Okay. So this is a bit of a tough write.

I thought after 24 hours it'd be easier to sit down and put this into words but I'll be honest the tears still start flowing.

Yesterday was one of the most incredible days I've ever had as a blue. As an Evertonian.

It wasn't because we won a trophy or a derby win. It wasn't because of the friends or people you see and sing with at the game every other week. Nothing to do with memories of players or historical matches. And definitely nothing to do with the sausage rolls or pies!

It was the noise. The roar. The Cheers. The joyous cries from 40 thousand people almost standing on top of you. It was so unique to Goodison and when the final whistle blew, it was that noise that made me realise I was never, ever going to hear again.

The Dixie Stadium is going to be unbelievable for us and the sound will scare the s*** out of us never mind the opposition but it won't be the noise of Goodison. It'll be unique and something we'll all get use to and if we're winning we'll get used to it a bit quicker but yesterday it was the one thing we won't get to hear again.

I proper love this club with ever single fibre in me, just like all of you. We might not see eye to eye but the one constant is that we only want what's best for this club and as much as my heart has been broken yesterday, it knows the new stadium has to happen.

Sorry for being a soppy old git and I'm off to dry my ears for the 50th time but for the final word:

Goodison has always been and the absolute symbol of NSNO, now for our new era, our new stadium only deserves from us NSNO!

COYB NSNO.

It was very special mate, us blues are very unique.

{Ed025's Note - we are Skylark and i would just like to thank John for that really wonderful emotive post he sent there..

Had my hanky out at that (told SWMBO, it was my hay fever) .


3.) 20 May 2025 11:40:45
Great post, Blue John. The match itself was almost redundant, I lapped up the chat and the laughter around me. One chap sang every player song from the last 20 years. It was the trumpet playing ZCars that got me.


4.) 20 May 2025 14:24:26
What a post BJU!

As I read it the words in my head started sounding like Richard Burton. That was poetry mate, I’m not kidding.

For every supporter/ lover/ fan of this club and the life it gives us, heads up people, Goodison has curtsied towards BMD and sent us on our way with feelings of pride and memories of Kings.

Personally think Carrick is a very good manager but I want Everton to be looking at experienced quality managers who have a history of winning.

For now though Moyes needs to stay to get us further up the league and build the club back up. Then hopefully we need to thinking like the big club we are.

He's had to deal with a rather poor legacy of players on excessive wages. The only way to get rid of them was to let the contracts run down because they were average players on really high wages.

He brought players in on lower wages and has made big money some and sold good player due to PSR for good money as well.

Add to it the absent owner, change in managers and a stadium taking funds away from the kitty, he's done a remarkable job.

However, I do think planning and preparation for the January windows have been poor and again the right side never really being tackled and upgraded.

The other thing that none of us will really know is how good is his contacts book is. If the ambition is there to start looking at players of a higher calibre, is he able to do these deals. This will have a big impact on whether they choose us or even sepak to us.

I do like the fella though and his dad's a blue. We'll see what happens in the summer.

One final thing though, this guy doesn't deserve any hate whatsoever. He, like a lot of people at the club have tried to keep us going in such horrendous circumstances. let's give the guy a break.

My wife is a Liverpool fan but I get my own back as she has to live with a miserable bitter blue and my lads are as miserable and bitter as me.

I almost don't want us to ever win!

Ed02, you may know this. If we have a preferred bidder but he wants to allow someone else to join the bid would the exclusivity agreement have end to allow the new party to join the bid and look over the goods?

{Ed002's Note - No. That would be welcome to the seller.}

I'm sorry to hear that Skylark and I won't comment on your experience, I understand that is personal to you.

However, for the wider context, I was not offended and merely trying to emphasise the point of understanding someone else's point of view, circumstances and where criticism is perfectly fine abuse isn't.

I hope that people watch what he had to say because they may also go through the same things. If he's an idiot for saying what he did, the things he went through and how he coped and got through it then I hope there's more idiots out there that do the same thing and tell their story.

Seriously I do wish you the best of health. there's no animosity on my part.

Hmm. Skylark I wonder how long you'd last if everyone around you screamed abuse at you while trying to do your job? And then after having that for an hour an half you take a look at your social media you having a load more abuse thrown at you?

How about after working all of your life from a young age, you and your family making sacrifices and getting your dream job, get told by someone who doesn't even know what you've had to go through to 'get another job'.

If you've achieved your dream, or put your life before others, then you'd understand that sacrifice is sacrifice and if you can't appreciate that and think you've got a right to abuse that person or have a lack of empathy, then I feel pity and sorry for you.

To be fair he hasn't given up like you may have done. Instead he's kept at it and tried to give his best. So fair play to him.

I hope you don't have to put anything up with that and wish you the best of health mate.

Not sure anyone read his recent interview. It made me sit up and realise how much his injuries affected him mentally. He's given everything he can on the pitch for us and tried his best.

Any player saying they sat on the floor crying because he couldn't be on the pitch to help the team deserves respect.

I for one think he's only ever handled himself in the right way and if he does go I wish him the very best of luck.

I agree about getting Gana signed up. Should have been done long ago but as for signings, I don't think we'll do much early business. Maybe a couple early on but most in August I think. We need a lot of players so we'll need to hang on a bit to hopefully see the prices go down a bit.
