    Financial Fair Play investigation

    A Premier League statement confirmed that Everton had been charged under Rule W.82.1, the same rule that Manchester City is alleged to have breached. “In accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1, the Premier League confirms that it has today referred an alleged breach of the League’s...

    Harry Tyrer

    If he's good enough to be given a 3 and a half year contract, then he's good enough to be given his own thread

    Next 6 PL games

    Southampton, Burnley and Palace at home. West Brom, Chelsea and Brighton away. A real opportunity to get some momentum going and put ourselves right in the mix for a CL place, if we can start playing some football for a change against these lower ranked teams.

    Best player since the restart

    Much of it hasn't been pretty to watch - but our defence has done a good job for us, Richarlison's got a couple of great goals, and the emergence of Gordon and Branthwaite has been a massive bonus. So who do you think has had the biggest impact over our last 8 games (or 9 if you'd rather wait...

    transfer prices

    It seems like every time that we're linked with a player, or buy a player, everyone's obsessed with how much he's going to cost us. It's all a bit strange. The only discussion that matters is where the signing will fit into the team, what strengths and weaknesses will he bring, will he improve...

    How many of the current team will still be getting picked in 12 months time ?

    Allardyce has brought stability to the team selections - for now. But we're a long way away from where we were hoping to be earlier this year. How radical a shake-up is still needed, and what should we expect to happen ? Current ages are in brackets. JORDAN PICKFORD (23) Surely a nailed on...

    Your advice to the next manager of Everton

    Alright folks, this is your opportunity. Let's assume, for argument's sake, that David Unsworth and the next manager of Everton have nothing better to do than to read every comment in this thread. What would your message to them be ? What should be their priorities ? What are the main problems...

    Joshua Zirkzee

    "The 16-year-old forward had received offers to join the Arsenal and Manchester United youth systems, but chose to make the move to Everton instead." That's what we like to hear...

    What's your minimum expectation for the January window ?

    So for me : two players in key positions good enough to walk into our first team and make an immediate difference. I think we should definitely be aiming for more than two players, but I'm trying to be realistic given the realities of the January window, the fact there's not likely to be that...

    Boycott Bournemouth game

    The Board can't fail to be aware of fans feelings right now. They may well also know a bit more than we do about the views of some of the players about the situation at Goodison. I would hope and expect for some sort of statement from the club in the next 7 days, particularly if - as now seems...

    your favourite Lukaku goal ?

    OK, it will be hard for him to top the Chelsea goal, unless he bags the winner in a cup final, but which of his other 60 goals for the club leave you salivating whether you think of them ? Just to get you started, here's one of his many goals against the Hammers - and this is from our last...

    Using the squad

    The last couple of games have seen Stones, Baines and Deulofeu shut out. Is this a sign of a change in thinking from a manager who up to now has been stubbornly loyal to certain players ? Or just responses to specific circumstances ? The level of competition for places is tremendous. At...

    Selling our best players

    Every summer it's the same story. There's an endless stream of media articles saying that some of Everton's biggest stars are being chased by big money clubs. Sometimes it comes to nothing, sometimes we have to let a player go. Everton are not a selling club in any sense of the word -...

    Who could replace Martinez ?

    I know many of us are still clinging to the hope that Martinez can turn things around, I've not given up hope yet myself. but if as seems increasingly likely, Martinez will have to go, who do we think should / will replace him ?

    Who should be our lead striker next season ?

    Now that we've had our first look at Kone, time this had its own thread. I assume that it's between Jelavic, Anichebe and Kone, but have added the other options for completeness. If by any wild chance we go and buy another multi-million pound striker by August 31st then someone had better do a...

    Tyias Browning

    Just played 45 minutes against Vienna - seen plenty of the ball - what do people reckon ? According to the OS, he's just turned 19, and his contact ends June 2013 ! http://www.evertonfc.com/player-profile/tyias-browning

    Where we threw it away

    Against the 5 teams currently above us, we're on 3 wins, 4 draws, and 2 defeats. Not bad at all with just Chelsea to come. Against the current bottom 7, we're on 6 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats with just the Sunderland game to come. And that my friends is why we're outside the top 4.

    Stats for 2012

    Yesterday's result means that Chelsea catch us in 3rd place in points gained over the calendar year : 1 Man United 93 2 Man City 86 3 Chelsea, Everton 68 5 Arsenal 67 6 Spurs 66 7 West Brom 58 8 Newcastle, Swansea 55 10 Fulham 53 Proof surely that we're good enough and consistent enough to...

    Do we bottle the big games ?

    Twelve months ago we were bemoaning the fact that after knocking Chelsea out of the cup we'd gone and lost to Reading. What did people say then ? "That's the Everton way" - implying that it's the easier games that are the problem for us, not the bigger games. Look, it's the nature of a cup...

    Should Moyes go ?

    It's March 14 2012. The day's papers have been full of eulogies for Moyes's ten years at Everton. You bump into a grim faced Moyes in a pub and get him talking. He tells you that he's not in the job for the money, he's always believed that he can take Everton forward and win trophies, but that...
