Been calling for this lad for a long time now and finally just read the first article pertaining to interest.
Emanuel Emegha! GET IT DONE TFG!
1.) 17 Mar 2025 14:15:57
Nice to see him first in through the door mate.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 15:07:35
Absolutely GB! Would fill me with a lot of confidence for the rest of the window mate.
3.) 17 Mar 2025 16:07:06
Just the type of player we need, going to be a very good window this summer loads out and many in mate.
4.) 17 Mar 2025 21:30:56
We’re going to be linked with every man and his dog over the next 5 months aren’t we?
{Ed025's Note - absolutely JB..
5.) 17 Mar 2025 22:00:47
As long as they aren’t breaking the bank, are of good quality and improve the team, I’m all for them. They can even bring their dogs.
02 Feb 2025 17:24:31
Fulham interested in Harrison.
Interesting.
29 Jan 2025 22:37:27
Mykolenko has made 95 PL appearances for us, across 3/ 3.5 seasons. In that time he has averaged 28 passes per match. Has attempted an astounding 4 through balls. He has made a total of 0 assists.
Frightening.
1.) 29 Jan 2025 22:58:27
Definitely a position where we can improve moving forward. Must be getting some assists from our full backs. Would really like to see Leif Davis come in the summer.
2.) 29 Jan 2025 23:26:16
Better than one clean sheet in 4 when he plays - he is 7th best for clean sheets in league this season.
If he’s told to defend by Dyche a long with everyone else then I wouldn’t expect many assists.
I don’t think he’s a great player but any attacking play was beaten out of him by Dyche and his stats show his defending is reasonable.
3.) 29 Jan 2025 23:30:12
Absolutely JB. 0 since he has been with us is pathetic.
Not seen enough of him to comment mate but I believe he is quite the opposite to Myko.
4.) 30 Jan 2025 06:51:37
0 assists in 95 from left back is not acceptable. Regardless of tactics, his crossing is poor.
5.) 30 Jan 2025 08:21:12
Does an assist count as someone scoring on the end of it, could it be the strikers don't finish of his passes?
6.) 30 Jan 2025 08:25:32
Again, spot on JB. Dyche didn't beat any attacking play out of him as he never had any in the first place. Ashley Young has 3 assists this season alone and he isn't exactly attacking.
His defending isn't even that good. Whilst he may be reasonable in 1v1 situations, it is his consistent lack of positional awareness that is insufferable, getting caught out of position at the back post and losing track of his man.
His shocking is absolutely woeful. Most of the time he hits it past everybody and out for a corner or throw. The occasional time he doesn't do that, it never beats the 1st man.
Nothing against the lad as he seems to apply himself and care but as a footballer he is absolutely shocking.
7.) 30 Jan 2025 09:21:48
Think we have far more urgent priorities than left back.
8.) 30 Jan 2025 10:16:12
Depends how you look at it, one off the best defences for clean sheets in Europe, like some one said if you don't have a striker putting the ball in the net that won't help his assist, he's a defender not a winger that's for sure.
9.) 30 Jan 2025 10:51:30
I like his commitment, he works his socks off. Maybe some one to one time with Baines could help him improve that side of his game.
10.) 30 Jan 2025 11:07:09
Might not be our number one priority, but it's not far off for me.
11.) 30 Jan 2025 11:15:32
I haven't said that this needs addressing in this window and should be prioritised over other positions, I was merely pointing out what an abysmal record he has.
I don't agree pasty. There are many more players that come into the equation with regards to our defensive record, most notably Mr Pickford. However, recording assists. especially as a modern day fullback is essential. You are right, there is an element of having a decent finisher on the end of the ammunition but across 3 seasons to have not even recorded a single assist is shocking. Like I said, Young has the same strikers to aim for and he has managed 3 this season alone. It is inexcusable.
For some reference, Nathan Collins is a CB and he has 5 to his name. West Ham are hardly blessed with strikers and AWB has 2.
12.) 30 Jan 2025 13:45:01
JB having a blinder today.
I agree that it isn’t far off. It would be even higher if we had avoided recent injuries. Both of our defensive flanks need upgrading. This is now one of the most integral positions on the pitch in the modern game and ours are absolutely shocking.
Bobby, whilst I think there are some outliers in the history of the game, if you are 25 and a professional footballer, you don’t suddenly learn how to cross or attack. Just my opinion.
You are right on his attitude though which is why I can never call the lad out on a personal level but as a player, I think he is way short of what we need mate.
13.) 30 Jan 2025 14:03:21
Suprise surprise BN.
14.) 30 Jan 2025 15:16:39
I would never knock his attitude, but to improve, we need to look at where we're weakest first. If every player was fit and well, I'd say full backs is where we're weakest and have been for some time now.
Of course injuries play into this. I'm still feeling fairly positive that we'll sign players - no reason to assume otherwise.
15.) 30 Jan 2025 16:32:29
Ok but the reality is we need a striker. That has to be the priority right now. The rest can be sorted in the summer.
Saying that though if we got the Chelsea lad to replace Dacoure I would be very happy.
16.) 30 Jan 2025 21:58:39
BN - I’m not expecting him to turn into Maldini but he can still improve in some areas, 25 is still young.
28 Jan 2025 09:49:42
"Everton offered Besiktas winger Semih Kilicsoy"
I hope this fella replicates one of our winter window Turkey transfers more than the another.
R. I. P Super Kev!
27 Jan 2025 20:50:06
Ed's do you know if the Preciado talk is concrete. Have seen more and more articles about it. Would love to get this one over the line.
{Ed001's Note - I am sorry I don't know.}
1.) 28 Jan 2025 09:24:28
No problem, thank you regardless.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate, sorry I can't be more help.}
2.) 28 Jan 2025 12:30:38
Can't have you fingers in all the pies hey Ed. Cheers again mate.
{Ed001's Note - with me dad doing the cooking here today, there is probably a few of his fingers in the pie. He is so old and clumsy now. He went absolutely flying over the end of one of those travelator things yesterday because he was not looking.}

27 Apr 2025 11:47:59
Anyone still think Patto is good enough?
Never known a player get as much as a free pass, even after showing absolutely nothing in the years he has been here.
Terrible football player. Scottish league is very much his level.
1.) 27 Apr 2025 12:53:49
Not sure about the free pass as he's barely played but he hasn't impressed but he's also not had a run of games or stayed injury free when he's had a opportunity and when he does play he clearly has the best cross skill in the club but can't defend very well and isn't given much freedom to play on the front foot. A strange purchase considering his skills and Rafa bought him. Not a Rafa player at all. Wonder if he was yet again an FM player forced on the club? Guess his deal will run down and he'll stick around and barely make 30 appearances over his stint, go on a free to someone who plays wing backs and he'll do really well. I think dare I say it but I prefer Young at RB.
2.) 27 Apr 2025 13:47:43
Not the best BN, either him Keane or Young has a future at Everton.
3.) 27 Apr 2025 14:06:03
Think he’d be let go if a half decent offer came in. Haven’t seen any evidence that he’s the best crosser at the club, although it wouldn’t be a difficult achievement at the moment. Think it’s an area we’ll look to recruit in.
4.) 27 Apr 2025 14:15:53
Well he crossed 3 times against CFC and all balls whizzed through the pen spot as opposed to out for a throw in. Relative I guess.
5.) 27 Apr 2025 14:35:40
I would play Patterson on the wing before Harrison, as it’s been said he can at least cross a ball.
6.) 27 Apr 2025 17:26:26
As FBS indicates Patterson more a wing back and yes JBtoffee he is one of the best crossers of a ball.
7.) 27 Apr 2025 17:28:54
Strange that neither Moyes or Dyche thought that, I agree Woburnblue2.
8.) 27 Apr 2025 18:21:15
Shame he really gets himself into a position to prove it dms.
9.) 27 Apr 2025 21:47:20
Against Chelsea he was chasing shadows when winger got past him. Not quick enough on the turn and not quick enough to chase back. Does put a good cross in though.
10.) 28 Apr 2025 19:23:57
I always stick up for him but it is getting harder I definitely think there is a really good player in there somewhere but I'm leaning to what FBS is saying he will leave us join another club and look a different player and we will all say why didn't we give a chance.
23 Apr 2025 18:19:36
Fantasy-ish Football Summer 2025
Pickford
Wesley França (21 - rapid and attacking)
O'Brien
JB
KWP (Free)
Frendrup (Genoa skint)
Rigg (One of the brightest English talents)
Diarra (Specimen - can play many positions)
Cherki (Marquee - unlikely but achievable)
Emegha (Everton No 9)
Ndiaye.
02 Apr 2025 23:23:13
Not a post to dig Moyes out but that was trademark tenure 1.0.
As s*** as Liverpool were, you could "smell" that goal coming a mile off. Why does it take until 75 minutes and a goal to change the players.
That game was crying out for some fresh legs. Ndiaye shouldn't have come on. Clearly not ready. Keep garner on and play Tim no 10 or vice versa. Broja on the wing for Harrison and keep Beto on or swap him for Chermiti. Some baffling subs tonight indeed.
Both teams were sh**e tonight though. The only chance they had they scored and it was school boy defending. Even the finish was laughable straight down the pipe.
Beto unlucky with his offside and just as much when the post denied him.
Not too fussed as it is clear as day that reinforcements are needed. That front 4 is couldn't be less cohesive.
That's 2 games against the comfortable champions now where they didn't really have the answers against us and that is against our bog standard side. Looking forward to the summer when we can get some talent in to help the few decent players we already have.
1.) 03 Apr 2025 01:38:48
Yet again, not taking our chances killed us which leads to the inevitability that the opposition will score.
Maybe a draw would have been a fair result although any red would argue that there should have been a red card early doors.
As you say mate, we will be a different animal come next season with plenty of ins and outs to shape the squad. What I'm liking u derby DM is that we are now competitive. If SD was still in charge then it would have been backs to the wall, let's keep it below 3!
2.) 03 Apr 2025 12:46:52
Don’t like calling players out but Harrison was atrocious last night - didn’t seem to get anything right - amazed he lasted as long as he did.
{Ed025's Note - i would have took him off after 2 minutes myself Dan..
3.) 03 Apr 2025 13:05:44
I’d have taken him off after the warm up.
31 Mar 2025 18:01:43
With DCL going this summer and Beto still being far from the answer to our no9 woes, at least from a consistency perspective. There are plenty of promising strikers that we could realistically target to bring in.
Top 3 lads would be most welcome. The next tier would still improve us and give us more chance of bursting some onion bags.
Emanuel Emegha
Jonathan Burkardt
Lorenzo Lucca
***
Mohamed Amoura
Ange-Yoan Bonny
Hamza Igamane
Tim Kleindienst
Andrea Pinamonti
Hopefully we finally get a striker in that can fill the huge hole that has been left, ever since Rom left.
1.) 31 Mar 2025 18:22:41
Would really like two mate, like you we need to replace Beto.
2.) 31 Mar 2025 22:27:39
I think Beto will stay but won’t be first choice. DCL and Broja will go, so we will need to find a replacement, for sure. I don’t think Chermiti is ready to step up yet.
3.) 01 Apr 2025 03:52:24
I'd include Harrison Armstrong in our first team squad.
4.) 01 Apr 2025 10:14:43
I couldn’t agree more on this. We need a couple of strikers in.
It seems to be a nut that we have really struggled to crack since Rom went.
I see Moise Kean is doing well at Fiorentina. Another example of not buying the right type of player, or at the right time.
5.) 01 Apr 2025 20:30:00
There's a whole load of players who could possibly join us and improve the team. Just need to go all out and convince them. Rayan Cherki 18 mill, angel gomez free, tom Fellows, rangers striker, Watford Georgian attacking midfielder, esteve from Burnley to name a few.
6.) 01 Apr 2025 22:48:18
Beto could turn into the next Giroud. A 2nd choice striker who should move and be first choice for someone.
Lad has an unbelievable goals to minutes record but is no good for us because?
We are hoping Broja somehow has a better season than he ever has?
If Beto had been our no1 all season he would have scored more than Broja has ever scored.
Or are we hoping chermiti is the answer?
BETO would most likely get 12-15 a season. Who can we realistically afford to go and buy who is guaranteed that next season?
15 Mar 2025 18:50:01
Thought today was poor but fair play for the goal to all 3 involved.
Alacaraz's pick out for Gana, Gana's ball was top quality and well done to the Big Fella for poaching.
We have a very important summer ahead in terms of recruitment if we want to get back to the top half of the table. So many average players.
1.) 15 Mar 2025 20:12:17
Agree BlueNose looking forward to the window to bin a good few of these mate.
2.) 15 Mar 2025 23:35:40
Thought it was decent personally, plenty to build on with an average squad.
3.) 16 Mar 2025 00:28:53
Well done Jake O'Brien, he was ignored by SD and yet under Moyes has played well in a right-back spot which was not his normal position and has added two very valuable goals.
4.) 16 Mar 2025 04:46:54
Thought we were okay and deserved the draw. Safe easily now and needed to be, 9 games left to beat 40 points.
5.) 16 Mar 2025 09:56:40
I thought West Ham looked the better team, with Bowen showing us what we are missing in a winger. Lucky to get the draw as second half we offered very little. Lost count at the amount of times Harrison kicked it straight at there player.
{Ed025's Note - not a great performance Brass but in the last 7 games job done i would say, quite a few need to go im afraid mate and the summer should be very interesting i would think..
26 Apr 2025 13:22:03
Not the wide man I would like us to go after tbh. End product is poor and inconsistent. Good physical attributes but nothing great from a technical perspective.
17 Apr 2025 13:32:08
Have a go? Can you not read plain English. Not once but twice did I say it wasn't personal. You do realise that you can pass an opinion on a player without "having a go" don't you?
Bit of a strange thing to compare the two of them but hey, you did, so may as well break it down.
O'Brien has played 12 games, Myko over 100. One is playing in his actual position and one is being asked to fill in as a makeshift RB. One has scored 0 goals and 0 has scored 2. One is in his first season after being practically abused by the previous manager and one is in his 4th.
16 Apr 2025 17:50:45
Do you reckon so Brass.
I think he is dreadful going forward. No ability on the ball to beat a man or deliver it. 1 assist per season on average in roughly 3 seasons is so poor in todays game.
One of the easiest positions for us to improve this summer. It would have been the same on the other flank had Moyes not played a masterstroke in playing Big Jake there.
Again, nothing personal against Myko as he tries within his limits but his limits are very apparent.
16 Apr 2025 14:10:50
I think he is reaping the rewards of the other 4 in that defence tbh TL.
I will never knock Myko as he tries his hardest but there is just no escaping how limited he is for me. Totally agree Ron, the amount of chances/ goals conceded as a result is concerning.
I think it is very achievable to get somebody in who is as solid defensively but offers more on the ball and going forward. As I say, there are comfortably 10 better than him in this league, let alone further afield.
16 Apr 2025 00:13:13
I would understand if he picked Chelsea over us Ron. London, more recent success, higher wages. We have improved under Davey but our squad is still poor.
If Spurs want to take Myko, I would be all for it. Average fullback that needs replacing if we want to kick on next year and challenge for top half/ Europe. There are 10 left backs better than him, which by that logic, means we need an upgrade.
27 Mar 2025 17:45:41
Over 30 is not old anymore, especially someone like him. He is fit as a butchers dog. Knows Moyes well.
Personally I would rather target other players but if he comes I wouldn’t be upset by it.
25 Mar 2025 16:43:40
He does look good mate but would rather Chris Rigg myself mate.
24 Mar 2025 12:20:04
Someone has been playing too much football manager.
Mbuemo for 50m! Wow!
Prime age at 25. PL experience. The lad is smoking everyone in the Liverpool side for numbers, bar Salah. Option to extend his contract by another year.
The arrogance on some people stinks!
Bet Harvey Elliot is worth 40m as well is he haha! Brilliant.
21 Mar 2025 11:55:36
Jarrad Branthwaite is the most two-footed CB in the Premier League this season
63% of his passes, crosses, shots, and clearances are with his left foot, and 37% with his right foot.
If this is what Vauxhall Viva's play like, I will take a whole fleet.
21 Mar 2025 11:41:24
Sounds silly to say it GB but I don't think he would want to go there tbh.
