"Just giving them what they want" is very Moshiri-esque. I hope we've moved on from that model.

A digital drug dealer? Truly awful comment. To also suggest I have someone on emotional strings is also horribly wrong and unwarranted. I am like any other Everton fan first and foremost and do not deserve to be labelled crap like this. Did...

100% everyone wants a striker. Always. They are the highest value players and biggest game changes by far. Their value can sky rocket on the back of a purple patch. It's why beating Moyes with the can't sign strikers stick is crazy. He bought...

Does the quality matter if there is no substance in the links? The Friedkins seem to operate with less chatter, Alacarez was completely unexpected to the fanbase and media. I wouldn't stress about the links currently as they are being circulated...

It's just realism. I'd love him to disappear and us go and sign someone great to replace him but the reality is that we would be very likely to just sign someone who is at best as good as he is and so be absolutely no better off. There's an...

Said it in the Summer thread but as a 4th choice it's fine. Not many of us like him but we can't fix all our problems in one window and unless Branthwaite leaves, CB is one of the positions where we don't need to prioritise until next summer.

We have just bought Carlos Alcaraz so Wimbledon is a realistic add on

why not like a Moyes signing? cos he's not 6ft? tbf, a right winger was the missing piece of the jigsaw around 2007-2010, apart from Donovan on loan

"We didn't offer him a new contract" It was only the BBC and every other national media outlet running the news. It's not like it was just The Bobble, it's widely accepted as a fact. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/czrr4dgyl7do...

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's aerial prowess is one of those deceptive statistics, like our defenders leading the league in various categories simply because we've played with so little possession and they've had to perform more measurable defensive...

Building a more successful future with this guy as the main number 9 is a complete contradiction in itself. If we are going to keep him as a squad player to bring on now and again and then bring in a proper consistent goal scorer then fair enough...

He has been, he's trying to get out but he keeps missing the open door.

Athletic are reporting the purchase option runs until the end of May. We've just missed the automatic obligation that set in after 9(?) games. So technically no-one else can do anything until that expires and it leaves us free to tie up a deal.

Happy birthday hippo blue

A very happy birthday to you, enjoy your day! 🍾 🎂
