*narrator* “Everton didn’t surprise them”

If it was based on views I would have packed in a few years ago. I was hitting 20k views during the infill stage, I’m lucky to get 2k now. Every man and his dog do them now. I do it because of my obsession with the new stadium.

We operate in a part of the market where we probably buy most players from clubs who accept their best players will leave. If they plan well and don’t have decimated squads, then when we rock up with a reasonable offer, it’s no surprise they are...

Excellent post. It’s easy to forget how close we were to 777 hands and the disaster that could have been. In reality we’ve just come off life support and are facing a year or two of rehab.

We all want the club to have signed more players. However the plus side to this is that we are in a better position having done what we have , rather than spending money rashly on the wrong players. I think that there is an element of over...

Lads Everton are absolutely tiny compared to the footballing institution you think they are in your heads. Three decades without a touch of a trophy, four years circling the drain at the bottom of the league, no European footie to offer. Most...

Despite the fact we know most transfer rumours are rubbish we still get sucked into narratives the assorted junk sites try to peddle. Luiz is a case in point. The only semi reliable comment in the last two weeks from people we know have club...

And that's very likely the reason we've had probably only 1 good start to a league season since that time. We haven't won an August league fixture since 2021. That shows our strategy to recruitment and pre season has been a huge failure and...

Would really like this to be our next signing. Upgrading our centre midfield is imperative to make a jump up the table. Luiz was a clear part of Villa’s upturn. Garner is our version of Longstaff and if we persist with him we won’t progress...

Hammond negotiates the deals once Moyes et al sign off on making an offer. Kinnear has final approval on the financials of a deal. Two of the new four don’t join until September so this window is a first step on the path to how they want things...

….especially with Branthwaite being so adapt at covering that channel behind the LB. Blend.

Pretty sure we signed maupay very late in the window so he’s probably not a great example to use. I think everyone acknowledges that it would be better to sign good players late than bad players early. This isn’t really cutting insight, despite...

Moyes will talk when it suits him. He’s not some fresh faced young hipster manager desperate to get his face known. If he has something to say, good or bad, he will say it when he judges it to be appropriate.

Don’t forget he was the guy who labelled us as the peoples club mate, can’t have it both ways

Id say if they get away with it they prob don't do media mate, my understanding is they are contracted to do media as part of their contracts with clubs pre and post games - its part of thr PL TV rights deal and a club responsibility. Then there...
