Any truth in the Jamaica call up whispers? Actually think it would be great for him. You'd imagine it would present an opportunity for a leadership role of sorts.

I may have misunderstood, but aren't the Usmanov sanctions the reason we have no money? Moshiri was always just a front, with Usmanov bankrolling the club through shady USM sponsorships and under the table deals with Moshiri's own businesses. Moshiri's net worth at the time of purchase was...

Think Tom knows his days are numbered. Cried off under the guise of a knee injury and flew to Morocco instead of staying on the Australian Tour. Wouldn't be surprised if he was told Price will get minutes over him, thought "no thanks" and booked a holiday. Based on who Lampard has signed...

Needs Championship footy so he's raring to go when we slap number 9 on his back for opening day, away to Luton. Like a new signing.

Genuinely feel for the guy and wish that The People's Club could drag him out of this rut he's in. Clearly has an ongoing identity crisis, triggered by the name change and subsequent media outlets seeking his birth parents opinions and the cash grab associated with it. It won't matter what...

Fetching 60m for Gordon and Richarlison in the same window was not on my bingo card. A combination of the English Youngster tax, and negotiations with cashed-up American Cowboys compared to seasoned British Businessmen there for all to see. I understand we had an agreement with Richarlison...

Directly involved in the goal, but otherwise underwhelming performance knowing that he has it in his locker to whip it in dangerously and work the GK from distance. The game was crying out of someone in blue to grab it by the scruff of the neck, but one miskicked shot and he let his head drop.

New season, new personnel, same story. Rafael's decision to bin off Dan Donachie looking like a personality clash rather than actually finding the source of the problem. Once a player gets one injury, they seem to pick up another almost immediately upon their return. Is the rehab too focused...

There's a good snippet from Ben Foster's podcast when Pepe Mel joined WBA and wanted to play out from the back, and the players eventually sat him down and said "look we can't play this way we just aren't good enough, sorry". I wonder if any senior leaders in the Everton dressing room have the...

Problem we have is all our deals hinge upon a £0 upfront fee in 2022/23 financial period due to our FFP issues, with the deals back-ended / larger amounts towards the end of the payment structure. Unless you're a European powerhouse with cash on hand (or Barcelona just cooking the books), teams...

I wish we had the foresight to purchase amazing set piece takers from obscure nations in the last few years, so we aren't screwed now. Places like Colombia and Iceland perhaps.

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

That's pretty damning from a refereeing perspective. The real headline is statistically we are playing cleaner football and copping more yellows. Also factoring in that they are handing out yellow cards when are a fouled too, attributing half of the leagues yellows for diving to Everton...

You must be new here.

The moment Richarlison was withdrawn, it was obvious Carlo had given up and was handing squad players game time to prove themselves. Shame they all pooped the bed and ran away from the ball/responsibility.
