Henrique Carmo from Sao Paulo the latest to be linked.
Know nothing about the kid but had a little watch of him. He has brilliant feet and ball control. Perhaps most surprising, especially as he is a winger, is his intelligence to play the ball and find the right option rather than hold onto it.
Would much rather be linked to the likes of this lad and Minteh than some bang average wingers we have been in recent windows. This new approach certainly looks a lot better.

You mean like Harrison? Who Leeds think we’re going to give them 11m for.
2.) 27 Sep 2024 19:46:38
Zero chance of getting a work permit.
3.) 29 Sep 2024 16:18:02
We can only dream Harrison needs a work permit….
4.) 30 Sep 2024 13:09:12
Harrison as a squad player for 10M is a good deal. As our main RW and/ or for more money, no.
30 Aug 2024 08:35:47
Any truth in the Assignon rumours Eds?
I like this lad. Very physical and loves defending. Can only add to the solidity of last years backline. Good ball carrier as well.
{Ed002's Note - Lorenz Assignon (RB) Rejected the chance of a permanent move to Burnley. Marseille have had a number of discussions with Rennes. Galatasaray have a sustained interest but it will be the decision of the new Technical Director after adding Aurier in January. Fulham may offer an option, perhaps Everton.}
1.) 30 Aug 2024 09:47:33
Thanks Ed, appreciated.
29 Aug 2024 12:23:30
Romano saying that there is no buy option for Mangala.
Does that mean that we will have to turn Harrison or Lindstrom into a permanent before the window closes Eds?
{Ed002's Note - No.}
1.) 29 Aug 2024 15:17:58
I'll keep saying it chaps
4 loans are allowed
2 max domestically.
like i have been saying!
2.) 29 Aug 2024 15:44:32
So how do loans work again?
3.) 29 Aug 2024 15:45:24
There has been that many different takes on what it is, i have lost track of what is accurate wblue2 hahah, sorry mate.
I thought someone said it was 4 for the season but no more than 2 at the same time.
So if we get Mangala on loan, we still have space for another player on loan. That certainly helps us.
4.) 29 Aug 2024 17:34:16
Given the state of our finances and the dodgy dealings with 777, I doubt anyone at Everton understands loans.
5.) 30 Aug 2024 19:16:33
As wblue said, 2 at a time, 4 in a season is domestic only. FIFA/ uefa rule is currently down to 7 in and 7 out, and reducing to 6 in the next year or 2.
Forest had 5 loans with no obligations in matchday squad Vs us last season.
29 Aug 2024 12:08:13
Maupay to Lyon. Rumoured obligation to buy.
I am starting to like this John Textor more and more.
1.) 29 Aug 2024 12:38:07
He’s gone to Marseille mate.
2.) 29 Aug 2024 13:20:29
textor ain't that stupid, haha.
3.) 29 Aug 2024 14:04:14
You mean Kevin Thelwell.
4.) 29 Aug 2024 15:44:57
Either way, good riddance.
5.) 29 Aug 2024 15:46:50
Ahh sorry GB. I read an article that said Lyon. I did think it was strange as all the talk in recent weeks has been for Marseille.
Thought Textor was sorting us out haha.
24 Aug 2024 20:49:47
Not sure on whether it is true or not but it certainly looks to be the case.
Paddy Power have already paid out customers who have bet on us to get relegated.
I already detest these iniquitous scummy betting companies as it is and this should really p*** me off, yet it doesn't.
I can't even blame them.
What a portrayal of where this great club finds itself. A laughing stock amongst anyone outside of it.
1.) 24 Aug 2024 22:13:17
DM used to say playing the top 4 away was akin to turning up to a gunfight with a knife. We now mostly turn up armed with a Stephen Hawkins.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 22:22:04
Not sure why a company trying to make a profit would pay out on something that is not odds on and near a conclusion.

Bally spot on. Dyche needs to start speaking up more about these nonsensical decisions that go against us and have gone against us for years.
I have lost count how many "apologies" we have had in the aftermath of games. What good is an apology when it is potentially points lost.
How hard would it be for Dyche to collate all the instances of wrong decisions and simply bring awareness to the sheer amount that we have had wrongfully go against us.
No, it won't change the past but at least more eyes will be on it and they MAY think twice about being so brazen about cheating us if it is constantly a talking point in Dyche's pressers.
People can say it's bollocks and there is no vendetta but we all know if that was Michael Keane on Gordon in the opposite box, that bellend Pawson would have pointed straight to the spot, never mind consulting VAR.
1.) 08 Oct 2024 13:39:27
Kind of glad that he doesn't speak out in a way as I just can't stand the excuses he already uses, even more than I hate his voice!
2.) 08 Oct 2024 14:53:03
You make a fair point mate.
I found myself reading and just nodding my head like the churchill dog.
His voice and sarcastic tones makes me want to do a Vincent and slice my ears off.
3.) 08 Oct 2024 15:18:08
He also swipes snot from his nose straight onto his forehead with his palm.
4.) 08 Oct 2024 16:27:42
Hahaha tickled me that Reg.
5.) 08 Oct 2024 22:20:36
BN ?? reading what he has to say in interviews is the best option. Although it is still quite annoying that I read the words in his voice at times, can't escape it!
01 Oct 2024 00:35:41
Mangala v Palace
88% pass completion
100% successful dribbles
5 interceptions
4 tackles
9/ 13 total duels won
0 dribbled past
Not bad numbers from the lad for a Goodison debut.
1.) 01 Oct 2024 15:30:34
Good stats there mate.
2.) 02 Oct 2024 09:06:49
Stays mean nothing. You could make one pass in a game 100% pass completion. One dribble same. Fact is the lad had a good game and is an improvement on what we have.
Forget the stats and watch the game, get a much better idea of how a player is performing.
28 Sep 2024 22:28:49
Mangala impressed today. Looks after the ball very well. A player we have needed in central areas since Gaz Baz.
1.) 28 Sep 2024 23:29:43
Effective without being noticeable, exactly the sort of player you want in front of your back 4.
2.) 29 Sep 2024 09:45:58
Spot on JB. Shields the ball very well. Hard to get it off him.
3.) 29 Sep 2024 17:11:01
Also tried bringing the ball out of midfield instead of just passing it upfield and losing possession as we normally do. Plus I think Tim should play instead of Doucoure. More energy and better attacking promise.
4.) 29 Sep 2024 18:36:35
Thought the exact same when the team sheet came out Dentie.
5.) 29 Sep 2024 22:23:20
Dacoure is bloody awful. Tim been playing well so why the heck drop him. Maybe he’s too young for Sean.
6.) 30 Sep 2024 06:27:52
Or doesn’t have enough experience… it’s a joke really isn’t it? Doucs has long been past it. Did a job two seasons ago but has been wide of the mark for most of last season.
7.) 30 Sep 2024 09:56:37
That's the thing, BR he keeps playing players who are either out of form or are past their best. Dacoure now should be on the bench, in fact I will go further. For a player who is one of our top earners he is not value for money anymore. It is time to move him on.
8.) 30 Sep 2024 22:13:42
You’re right Brass. He should have gone last season for the cost of warming the bench. Had his day and it’s now time to play those in form.
28 Sep 2024 22:01:07
If McNeil wasn't twice the player as a no. 10 than he is out on the left, I would love to see Ndiaye in there. What an extremely good footballer he is. It isn't just his feet and close control that are high level, his awareness and vision to spot the pass are too.
Brilliant signing.
1.) 28 Sep 2024 23:55:32
Ndiaye is so chill. He gets the ball defensively and then just strolls out with it, no hoofing it, just calm. Yeah he’s a big plus attacking wise but I love the defensive side to him.
26 Sep 2024 23:21:47
"The better pressure is when you are at the top end".
This p**** speaks like he has achieved and won things in the game.
All he ever speaks about is the circumstances he has to work under. He never takes accountability for anything. Any bad run of form "the players have to change the story". Any good bit of form "We've been working with the players and making them aware its all about the hard yards".
He is insufferable. He is worse than Allardyce in terms of his arrogance.
1.) 27 Sep 2024 01:24:34
Loves his own voice. i can't stand listening to the bollox he comes out with. Dead man walking if you ask me I give him till the nxt international break.
2.) 27 Sep 2024 09:48:41
He sounded to me like a man who knows his days are numbered. He'll want to go out with us higher in the table though, so expecting a good performance tomorrow.
3.) 27 Sep 2024 12:41:01
The fact that he plays Keane without giving O'Brien a go irritates me enough. Think back to last season. Played Keane till he got injured then brought Branthwaite in. People laud him for keeping us up. I think he kept us up by pure luck.
4.) 27 Sep 2024 14:58:09
I think the fans kept us up BB. Best 12th man we had.
5.) 27 Sep 2024 17:37:20
Top end? Bell end more like.
11 Oct 2024 16:14:16
1 season out of 8 does not warrant getting paid over 100k a week for me mate. His record proves to me that he will miss more than he scores. No doubt he is great in the air but we don't provide him decent crosses to attack and also the game has quickly moved further away from that type of gameplan now.
Absolutely we can do worse than Dom but we can also do a lot better imo. It is always a gamble getting a striker in, after all it is the hardest thing to do in the game.
Beto has been handled poorly and now may be damaged goods forever. He was a quality forward for Udinese. The worst thing that could have happened to him is Dom finding his fitness for the first time in a long time. His bit-part spells and last 5 minutes of games decimated his confidence and he doesn't seem to have that capability to rediscover it. Just one of those ones that hasn't worked out.
Broja, I shouldn't really judge as he hasn't but on a blue shirt yet but from what I have seen, I was never chomping at the bit to get him in whenever we were linked.
Youssoufa Moukoko
Guirassy
Dia
Balogun
Orban
Moffi
All been available in recent enough windows and make much more sense to go after.
11 Oct 2024 00:18:18
Why does having the opinion that he is overrated and not a very good striker labelled as hate?
We do have a lot worse players you are right but they need to go as well. I guess the difference is, is that they aren't given excuse after excuse and cleared of any accountability of failing to deliver.
How you have just described Broja sounds identical to DCL after his Carlo season.
10 Oct 2024 17:01:24
Agree GB.
People can choose to keep making excuses for the lad e. g. not the right manager, style of play etc. The truth is that we should not be recruiting a manager or adopting a style of play to suit one player and as I say, a very limited player at that.
He has had 2 good seasons where he made double figures. The other 6 seasons he has got nowhere near, with his highest attempt being 7 goals - but I guess that is the managers faults hey.
The most overrated Everton player I have ever seen.
10 Oct 2024 08:27:37
I don't think that is something he will go for BR as then he will miss out on money. I also think that by the time summer comes around, less and less will be in for him as he will continue to show that he is a very limited player. A one-trick pony some might say and not a very useful trick in the modern game.
Get him gone. He hasn't shown any commitment to us, especially after we have continued to back him during his barren spells.
Get somebody new in for me. Send him to Sheffield Utd. That is about his level.
27 Sep 2024 08:27:23
We spent about 45m and made about 80m. Onana was on about 120k a week in wages.
We will have flexibility to spend in January, especially with us moving into the new stadium next season which will increase turnover. Hopefully Dom's wages will be gone and we get rid of Keane and Doucoure's too
If Friedkin is in by Jan, then we will spend. He did the same at Roma and they were in a pickle financially too. He is not going to do anything to jeopardise us as he seems an astute businessman.
We are the lowest spenders in the league for the last 5 seasons. I think Big Al even said we will spend in January and I trust what he posts tbf. He is usually spot on and doesn't butter the fans up with what they want to hear.
Onwards an upwards Swinners. Up the Ev!

30 Sep 2024 17:10:08
Its the wins that turned to draws or draws that turned to losses that stick in my memory Ed.
Bolton, Villa, Leicester at Goodison. Games under control and playing well. On comes an old an aging Davey Weir and the game gets turned on it's head.
{Ed025's Note - yeah BN, im not saying it was all bad under him mate but it was so negative most of the time, we never even competed against the bigger teams and played for a draw it seemed to me..
30 Sep 2024 12:38:11
Whilst I agree that Moyes would not be the right appointment today as the game has moved on, it is unequivocally incorrect to say that the league was weak back then.
This was a league that had the strongest Arsenal side ever. Man Utd under Fergie, riddled with top class players. Chelsea backed by Abramovich and Mourinho. Newcastle when they were actually decent and beating teams like Juventus and Inter in the San Siro - a team with top players like Given, Solano, Speed, Shearer and Bellamy. Liverpool who were winning trophies consistently, albeit not the PL.
Even below them 5, you still had the likes of Blackburn, Bolton and ourselves as the equivalents of todays Villa's, Spurs, Leicester's, Brighton's West Ham's finishing in the 6th-8th positions.
The only thing that has really changed is that City have come into the mix and Utd have fallen off a cliff.
