2025/26 Jack Grealish

[TheBigIguana]

Not quite the disaster it might have been with the AFCON lads back and Armstrong looking like a breakout talent. Moyes just needs to work out the best formation

Yes David Moyes who has played the same general formation for the better part of 25 years is going to figure out something new

 

[GoldenToffee]

Football farts in our general direction once again; hopefully it's a favourable prognosis.

Assuming he'll be back for the run in to help us win the 12th placed trophy.

 

[SingBlue]

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

He's been a breath of fresh air but we cant justify fees mentioned on a player this age and his injury record in the last 2 seasons.

Agree with you and others. He still likes his beer. When he sat out the City game he took the opportunity to pop over to Dubai for a bit of winter sun, and getting absolutely rat-arsed in an Irish pub. Nothing too scandalous, but the gossip pages were full of stories about him being nice to people, paying for lunches etc. And then promptly passing out on one of the benches until a local fixer came in and carried him back to his hotel. This is a bit of a regular pattern with him as well.

He's 30, and I don't see him playing at the top level for much longer. I felt much the same when Rooney returned. Players like Ronaldo who really look after themselves can continue longer - 40 in his case (okay he's a bit of an outlier). End of the day I don't think we can justify the transfer fee and hefty wages to make it a permanent move, especially not at the numbers being quoted.

Ndiaye, Dibling, Aznou, McNeil gives us 4 players for 2 positions.

I want to see some effort being made to develop Dibling & Aznou.

100%

Sadly, I foresee McNeil starting another 10+ games.

 

[duncs pigeon]

This 100%. I barely look at this site these days all because every thread is dominated by his utter nonsense.

World class right back (despite never playing professionally), political genius (despite voting for a homophobe) and now Premier League level physiotherapist/doctor (despite no qualifications). Utter joke of a poster, I don’t even think he supports Everton.

With you on this. He really has taken away the enjoyment of coming on here. Everyone has an opinion but his constant crap he spouts is a spoiler, typical of someone who doesnt have any football knowledge, and a kopite as well.

…..nice to see Zat back, takes him a few days to get over a Moyes win

Comes a point where Dibling has to grasp the position himself, not Moyes.

 

[Blueclouds]

This is terrible news. He a huge asset on the pitch. We are cursed

 

[Bally1989]

Have to replace him

 

[uglykidjoe1982]

Actually, this is an artists rendition of what Moyes did (albeit to the foot rather than the head)…

Thought that was Dyche and Patterson?

The facts he’s 30 doesn’t mean much for a player like Jack. He doesn’t rely on speed because he’s so intelligent with the ball, we could easy get another 4/5 years out him.

 

[PercyPlant]

Does anyone remember if we sent Mangala back? I can’t, I remember Chelsea refusing to let us send Broja back.

 

[PeterGet]

We might just get away this as Afcon has just finished. Although “lucky” and “Everton” are not usually used in the same sentence

 

[jackyboy]

It's a shame, think he's been pretty good all in all. Be interested to see if they decide to make a move for another wide option or not now.

 

[atrottel]

Well, maybe it's a chance to see what might be next season's pairing of Ndiaye back on the left and Dibling on the right.
