Being reported that Chelsea are offering gallagher and broja plus 25m for Gordon. don't know how much weight this has but if its true then that is the deal of a lifetime. Prob just bull@@t but it sounds nice ?.
1.) 28 Aug 2022 14:15:55
If only eh mate.
17 Aug 2022 20:31:21
Latest is broja prefers a move to us.
Any truth eds?
1.) 17 Aug 2022 21:51:34
Would seem to go against Chelsea’s current recruitment selling Broja to us.
They’re currently buying lots of young promising players so to sell one would seem contradictory- however if Broja is pushing for a move that would maybe make sense.
{Ed002's Note - He is in discussions over a new contract.}
2.) 17 Aug 2022 22:22:14
Thought Ed002 said no chance.
3.) 18 Aug 2022 02:01:09
Broja and Gilmour for AG. Hate to lose him but if he wants to go ok.
4.) 17 Aug 2022 20:58:59
Ed025 is silent on this one!
{Ed025's Note - silence is golden Mike..
5.) 18 Aug 2022 16:02:20
I've just red that Todd bohely is going to offer broja a seven year contract.
15 Aug 2022 19:44:56
Eds is it true we offered AG a new contract 3 weeks ago but his reps have made it clear he won't be signing it?
{Ed025's Note - I have heard nothing about that pauly mate..
1.) 16 Aug 2022 00:32:33
Without wanting to sound synical and past history, I would not be suprised if Everton leaked the story and then hit us with we tried to offer him a contract but he wanted to leave.
Sure I have heard that old chestnut, too many times to count.
14 Aug 2022 20:49:37
Weve just knocked back 40m for Gordon from chelsea.
1.) 14 Aug 2022 21:20:25
If true, means someone knows he can play.
27 Jul 2022 12:31:34
Ed02 is there real interest in terrier?
{Ed002's Note - Martin Terrier (LW/F) one of three attacking arrivals last summer and he has settled far better than Serhou Guirassy and Jeremy Doku. Has been watched by many including Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs. Spurs interest went with the arrival of Richarlison. West Ham interest may have gone after looking at many others. A potential Richarlison replacement for Everton. If Leeds lose out to Milan for De Ketelaere, they may look to him.}
1.) 27 Jul 2022 13:53:26
Hi Ed, so if Terrier is a genuine option for Everton as a Richarlison replacement, are the links to McNeil also true and why would we be after him also? Thanks.
2.) 28 Jul 2022 00:16:03
Martin terrier I think is a great option, having watched a lot of the French football.

Im seeing a lot of Frank got it wrong" posts.
Let me just remind you of a couple of facts. If Gray and Oonana had finished those clear cut chances we would've won and you would be saying "Frank got it right".
Look for the positives blues. Weve been so negative for so long. Look how close Frank is to getting it right. Weve lost games through individual mistakes. Weve not scored through the same. Keep the faith. We are getting this right. There's just bumps along the road. Have something we have forgotten over the years. Patience.
1.) 16 Oct 2022 21:47:07
Spot on. ?.
2.) 16 Oct 2022 23:52:36
Would of, could of, should of, does not win games. Actually scoring, wins games and cutting out mistakes goes some way to denying the opposition chances of scoring. That is fact.
3.) 17 Oct 2022 08:16:11
Well said Pauly it's almost like some of our fans can't wait to moan and all they do is concentrate on the negatives.
4.) 17 Oct 2022 09:16:35
Could of been so different had we not been so gung ho in choosing terrible managers over the moshi reign, could of not bought so many expensive flops, could of fired another manager again and replaced him with? Could have patience whilst although it's not quite there yet the players are not spectator's like the last couple of years where the ball passed them by into the net.
5.) 17 Oct 2022 11:26:41
Most shots are not scored though mate, not even with City or Liverpool. I don't think Frank got the balance right. I'm okay with setting up to be solid against those teams but we have to try and sting more when we go forward, take calculated risks. We played the ball around the back tk kill their lomentum but we killed our own attacking instant along with it. Frank hasn't set up great in the last two matches but I'm not really criticising as it will take time to get the right balance. Most of my past points about Frank, he corrected so I believe he will do the same.
6.) 17 Oct 2022 11:29:55
What was well said about it? What is factual about would have, could have? Facts: We lost to a better Team. Hopefully we learn and move forward.
7.) 17 Oct 2022 12:44:33
You could of kept going in that post Wolf73 Lol.
8.) 17 Oct 2022 12:50:44
I would definitely consider myself in the top echelons in terms of positivity on here. But.
I couldn't belive some of the posts on here suggesting we were going to beat Utd and the Spuds before the games. Obviously you go out to win but I feel its a bit premature to expecting against those two. Next season probably not presently for me. Do people remember last season?
It's obvious Frank is building from the back. I'd expect over the next 2 transfer windows he will have his complete team. Until then it will be get the defense right and try our best everywhere else. Which I totally agree. I think him and Kevin, Dof are doing fantastic. It will take time. Unfortunately neither have a magic wand.
We will get there and we will get some great results this season yet also.
9.) 17 Oct 2022 14:14:24
It's not about goals scored/ chances missed. The criticism was Frank got his tactics wrong. He didn't. Poor finishing let him down. We go 1 up and then our game changes. We would've had them on the back foot and chasing the game. Oonana and gray missed good opportunities to give us that lead and change our game. So he didn't get the tactics wrong, he was just let down by poor finishing.
10.) 17 Oct 2022 16:52:02
Frank 100 % got it right! Our issue is that all our attacking players are just no where near good enough!
11.) 17 Oct 2022 17:53:08
Didn’t we go one up against Utd?
03 Oct 2022 07:59:45
So the press had Frank to go first this season and yet Scot Parker, Tommy Tuchel and now Bruno Lage have all gone and it's only October. In the meantime Frank has created a team that is rising up the table, unbeaten in 6 (robbed of 4 points by var) and on the same points as Lpool. don't you just love being the underdog? Haha.
1.) 03 Oct 2022 14:38:37
I can see Gerrard, Howe, Brenda and Eric ten weeks going before Frank does.
2.) 03 Oct 2022 16:34:02
Definitely can see Gerrard going, results falling away and playing some awful football.
Brenda - even though results terrible, something like £20m pay off if he’s sacked so can’t see them sacking him.
Ten Hag - think they’ll stick with him like we did with Frank as it’s a rebuild project and makes no sense to change manager again.
Howe - possibly as doing ok but not as amazing as they probably thought. Money probably not an issue but who would they bring in?
Cooper at Forest could go - however would be harsh as signed 20+ players and don’t imagine all his choice.
3.) 03 Oct 2022 17:15:27
As I'm a glass half full type of guy, as the reds results have not been up to par maybe Kliperty will be replaced by Gina G sorry Stevie G!
4.) 03 Oct 2022 17:17:40
Howe’s NUFC are above EFC and spent less money. Can’t really see the logic in saying his job is at risk and Franks isn’t.
I think they are both safe and both doing pretty good job
I think EFC will finish above NUFC this season but imagine in next few years we will see them be a top 4 club
I can’t see Howe being there for years and years but think he is safe this season
EFC now have decent squad now but more important we seem to be a team - very solid.
5.) 03 Oct 2022 18:43:55
Sorry Sobs but since Eddie Howe has been managing Newcastle they’ve spent more money than us.
This summer:
Isak £63m
Botman £33m
Targett £15m
Pope £10m
So £121m compared to our £70m on Onana, gueye, garner, maupay and McNeill
January we spent £33m on mykolenko and patterson and Newcastle spent £77m on Wood, Guimeras and Trippier.
So Newcastle have spent £198m since Eddie been there and we’ve spent £103m in same time frame. So they’ve spent considerably more than we have in that time.
Taken figures from transfermarkt.
6.) 03 Oct 2022 18:53:47
I am a realism type. The Squad Team have improved, defence in particular. Results are on a par with last season. The biggest pain for me is VAR, it just is not being used correctly. Clear and obvious!
7.) 03 Oct 2022 19:01:30
Absolutely unbeaten in 6 and any time we were beaten it was by one goal.
8.) 03 Oct 2022 19:52:52
Newcastles points haul only looks decent after being handed 3 points at the weekend. That result could have been a lot different.
Once Howe has his philosophy through of not defending I can see them struggling.
With a similar revenue to ours they can't go spending loads more without being up against p/ s.
29 Sep 2022 19:39:26
Glad the real footy is back this weekend. Yet again pointless international matches have wrecked a promising start for another everton player. I am really getting sick of this crap. World Cup in the winter and pointless friendlies wrecking seasons for young players. It's time we stood up to these crooks. It's all a money making scam that ends up hurting the clubs that pay these players wages. Makes me sick!
1.) 01 Oct 2022 11:20:34
Nothing will ever change though.
2.) 01 Oct 2022 11:39:44
Why should it, as a professional wouldn't you want to play against the best players. So in order to play at the world cup you have to prove you can play to your national team's methodology, hence meaningless friendlies. As we all know that the nature of the game means players get injured, unluckily our's has, I for one wouldn't want a player at Everton who didn't want to play at the highest level.
3.) 01 Oct 2022 21:58:59
I don’t care about the national team though, lots of fans don’t. They should have friendlies before the World Cup and euros, scrap the nations league, have those 2 tournaments and that’s it. International break 3-4 times a season for pointless matches.
The manager doesn’t pick players based on form anyway so what does it matter? . As for the none English players, it’s just a way for them to get injured and we as a club suffer for it.
19 Sep 2022 08:52:07
Looking at the comments from all of us I can see that we all feel differently about this new era. We've all given Frank the time he's needed. Since he took over he has had to climb through the wreckage of past managers mistakes and suffered the poor performances and terrible displays. He asked us for patience and for once we all gave him that. We stuck together through the hard times because we all felt this was different than the promises we've heard in the past. Now look at us. This is what patience and trust brings. I havnet seen the fanbase and the club united like this since I can't remember. This man gets us. He gets the club. He gets the fans and more importantly the players and the fans get him. What he has achieved in under a year is nothing short of amazing. I have to just take my hat off and say Frank, you're doing such a good job that I hope you get the just reward of bringing silverware to our club. I have every faith in him and his backroom staff and I fear no team. Another year and who knows what type of honours we will be competing for. All moving forward as one unit. I don't hear anything negative towards this man and that's something we haven't had in years. The improvement of so many players under him is phenomenal. The team make me proud. So excited for the future now and it's all thanks to Frank amd his staff.
Just had to say this. COYB.
1.) 19 Sep 2022 09:26:14
Brilliant Pauly although I disagree with one part where you say you don't hear anything negative about the man unfortunately that's not true for some reason the media where pushing the agenda he's a poor manager and the fans are turning against him I have no idea where they got that idea I can only assume it's because he's the Everton manager and as we know the media have a disliking of our club but he has United the fans the atmosphere is good at the game and let's start pushing in the right direction.
2.) 19 Sep 2022 09:30:11
I agree Pauly. I think not only does he get the club but us fans also get him. Results always dictate that though. However, as much as our fans do my head in sometimes with its negativity, they do tend to understand what we want on the pitch.
There's not a lot of clubs that have traits they want their team to have. Good football is the usual word but for us it's been with us for decades and is always the base we start from in the stands and is a collective of just a couple of things. Fight, commitment and spirit. If you show that on the pitch, these fans will back you all the way.
Denis Strac (not even going to attempt spelling) , oumar and others without real quality but on that pitch gave everything. We'll back them.
Well Frank is lacking some area of quality in managing due to being young in the job, but he is giving everything. No koeman or fat sam holidays when they take a job or mid way in a season. No derogatory knives at gun fights comment's about my club. Just passion and fight on the sidelines.
So yeah, right with you Pauly. Can't wait to stand next to this current bunch of blues on a match day again. Both on the pitch and in the stands.
COYB.
{Ed025's Note - great post John..
3.) 19 Sep 2022 10:03:50
Lamps I meant no negativity from the fans. Of course the media want him to fail. That seems to be a given when you put the blue of Everton on.
4.) 19 Sep 2022 10:16:14
Decent list Pauly, but don’t agree all fans have given him time as whilst Frank is doing a great job and the majority on here can see that.
There are still several posters on here who have been moaning most of the season about him and the team, they’ll go quiet for a bit now we’ve had a win but unfortunately they’ll be back with their nonsense soon enough.
5.) 19 Sep 2022 11:16:04
Great Post BlueJonhsUn. Absolutely spot on. Gingerdan, my comments about being concerned about the formation were reasonable and I actually think proven true. I posted about his tactical naivity which he displayed at times. I also commented on how I think he is the right manager for us, how I think he will adapt, that he will abandon the terrible formation, How amazing his man management is. I have commented how I think k he gets us and we get him, that I think we will grow together and that he has got things to learn but will learn them. How he has brought back the fight, the spirit. Don't get hung up on specific points or posts Gingerdan mate. And just because you don't agree with certain things doesn't make it nonsense. Plus we have been like a person who have had bad partner after bad partner and we assume the next person is going to do the same as the rest; hurt us and leave us haha.
6.) 19 Sep 2022 11:49:25
Blue-tit my comment was not aimed at you.
You make valid points and if not happy suggest alternatives.
Everyone entitled to their own opinions and that’s what’s great about the site.
Unfortunately there are some on here that just moan and moan and give no valid reasons or sensible alternative suggestions.
These are the posters I was referring to and I’m sure most can think of atleast one on here.
7.) 19 Sep 2022 13:18:51
Some great posts here agree with all hopefully this upwards trend continues, the players are working hard and look like there enjoying it along with us fans.
The players appreciating the fans at the end will only strengthen the already strong bonds between us.
Also mylenko top guy gave his top to the shivering kid was a nice touch.
8.) 19 Sep 2022 13:49:07
A lot of good posts, I have been watching Everton since my father took me to my first game at the age of six, seventy-six years ago. I have seen good managers, bad managers, good players, bad players, good teams and bad teams. What is the most important difference between the good and the bad is team work. From the owner (s) , management, recruiting, scouting, coaching, the manager and his team, the academy, the squad and the individual players.
What I see beginning to develop is good management especially in recruiting, in Kevin Thelwell we at last seem to have someone who knows what is needed to strengthen the squad. We have a manager who has bought into the culture of the club and knows how to get the best our of players, we have brought in players who are not over-the-hill and have already shown a passion for the club and we at last have a squad who are beginning to play like a team rather than a bunch of individuals.
We have some way to go but the beginning is very positive. We will have ups and downs but we, the supporters, have to be patient. Give Frank, Kevin and a few more transfer windows and we will see major improvements. Also keep the owner out of the equation, he needs to learn to delegate.
9.) 19 Sep 2022 15:44:55
All really great posts and nice to see. We have improved so much over the summer. Frank had a pre season and him and KT identified key areas and personalities and got them in. 2 cbs tough and not scared if a fight. Cm is hugely proved including the revelation who is iwobi.
Up front and wide we could improve but maupay runs all day and glad he got a goal. End product needs to be the training for the wide players. Find a teammate, cross the ball and chip in with few goals.
The great thing to see, as has been mentioned is the ages of the new players. Mainly under 25, apart from defensively coady, tarks amd gueye touching 30 or just over, gives great experience to the young ones around them. Patterson, mickey, onana all early 20s.
We are going to lose games, it's obvious but if we fight for 90+ minutes every week then fans will allow that.
Frank and Kevin given another 2 or 3 windows will have the team of their own players and we will be pushing up the table I think.
10.) 19 Sep 2022 16:39:51
Although I’m in agreement with what has been said about the direction of the club on the whole, let’s not forget we are 13th with one win and four draws (some we could really have done with winning) . We only won 1-0 against West Ham and it could easily have ended in a draw. It is still early days and a win against Southampton away then some points from Utd at home, Newcastle away or Spurs away and I’ll start to feel more confident.
Just remember: only 35 more points needed….
18 Sep 2022 16:18:41
I can't remember the last time I saw an Everton team look so good. I take it back about maupay. His work rate is unreal and what a goal. There were so many motm performances but he was mine.
{Ed025's Note - lots of good performances pauly. It was Alex for me though mate..
1.) 18 Sep 2022 16:29:38
The most pleasing thing a lit today was the calmness and assurance about the performance. Coady and Tarks are rocks at the back and Patterson and Mykolenko are going to be brilliant signings for the club. The bench too, wow, how much better does that look and with a few more players close to fitness the depth in squad looks great.
2.) 18 Sep 2022 16:43:40
Tarkowski for me. Didn't see him put a foot wrong, took no chances and was very strong n solid. Fantastic all round. Unbeaten in 5 now hahaha!
3.) 18 Sep 2022 16:53:02
Ed025 he's like a man possessed under Frank. I thought he played out of his skin. If he would've scored he'd have got my motm. Myky, Patterson, gana, gray, both CBs, oonana, it was the goal rhat clinched it for me but any one of 10 could've been motm. What a difference Frank has made eh?
{Ed025's Note - he really has pauly. All the lads and the back room staff deserve credit mate..
04 Oct 2022 22:47:11
Isn't he a free agent in the summer?
26 Aug 2022 18:11:37
Well put dfs.
26 Aug 2022 12:37:29
Ed25 I am an evertonian mate and despite my rant I understand the current situation but the money that has spent already could've gone towards a better standard of goalscorer first and then look for creativity. My concern is this club continues to overlook the main issues and collects players who have no end product because there is no target to aim for. We have lacked goals since lukaku. That is just way too long for me. They know the problem, we know the problem but to say we have been financially restricted but then spend 50 odd million on 2 midfielders before we even look at the goal scoring problem just wreaks of the mistakes we have been making for the last 5/ 6 seasons.
{Ed025's Note - it’s not easy to attract players in our current situation pauly. Especially the top talent mate..
26 Aug 2022 13:13:01
Sorry GB but we've been going with the flow since Moshiri joined and we very nearly ended up relegated. If I sound like I'm moaning then it is just because I am sick of seeing my club struggling through poor recruitment decisions. How many managers and their backroom staff have we had plus all the money and they've all failed to bring in a goalscorer? 500m pounds later and we still haven't replaced lukaku! That is my concern. You can't tell me we haven't been able to identify and pay for a world class striker over the last 5/ 6 years. We could have 4/ 5 times over and yet here we are AGAIN struggling for goals going into another season .
26 Aug 2022 12:06:23
Well I'm not overly excited by maupay but I am willing to give him time but this fella has to hit the ground running or I fear for him.
What on earth is this club doing taking these risks? He is NOT a prolific goal scorer. Neither was richy. We sell richy and get a fella with a similar goal record? WE NEED A GOALSCORER! WHAT ON EARTH IS UP WITH THIS CLUB? WE NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHERE THE GOAL IS EVERY GAME NOT EVERY 5/ 6 GAMES. So frustrating watching us replace like for like when the problem was and still is WE HAVENT GOT A GOAL SCORER. FOOTBALL IS SIMPLE. IF YOU WANT TO WIN GAMES YOU NEED A PLAYER ON THE PITCH WHO KNOWS WHERE THE GOAL IS.
{Ed025's Note - rich was sold to prevent us being a victim of FFP pauly. Which would have seen us incur a points deduction. We are financially vulnerable at the moment mate due to previous mistakes. It is what it is I’m afraid and the club is doing it’s best with the resources it has available Left give them a chance hey mate..
20 Oct 2022 05:22:29
I said maupay was rubbish and he is.
17 Oct 2022 14:14:24
It's not about goals scored/ chances missed. The criticism was Frank got his tactics wrong. He didn't. Poor finishing let him down. We go 1 up and then our game changes. We would've had them on the back foot and chasing the game. Oonana and gray missed good opportunities to give us that lead and change our game. So he didn't get the tactics wrong, he was just let down by poor finishing.
16 Oct 2022 21:05:12
Ed014 he took over Chelsea during a transfer embargo and he brought the youth through. Then when he dipped into the transfer market he made a squad that, eventually won the champions league.
{Ed014's Note - to be fair they were given the Champions League but Peps stupidity in playing a formation they’d never played before.
Had he played as the normally did the would have wiped the floor with them as they did in the league not long before the final.
19 Sep 2022 10:03:50
