Seeing as you mention it, I'm already right.

2023: i wrote that i'd sign KDH to add midfield balance, playing him alongside Garner.

He's been signed, he'll play next to Garner, two years after I suggested it.

Am I happy about it or pushing out that a player i identified as being a good partner for Garner had been signed? No.

Could that be because In 2023 Everton were fighting relegation and 2025/26 were meant to be aiming far higher?

Will I choose to celebrate goals? No, thats a natural reaction.

Do you celebrate goals in meaningless games? How do you celebrate them?

Do you run around cheering, go outside, rip your shirt off shouting, "DOUCOURE" then straight off like Forrest Gump to do some beak on the way to get legless in town...because Doucoure scored an utterly meaningless goal after being crap all season?

Is that what you do lad? Top bloo you.

Unless you do choose to celebrate goals. You know, like @Eggs does as he reads about them on here calling other posters "REDS" while reminiscing about playing for Liverpool and being neighbours with Harrison Armstrong.

He then seems to battle with himself and searches his soul about whether he should be cheering and toasting an Everton goal with a "sip of rum" and whether to do so or not while gazing at his (supposed) former clubs shirt mounted above his mantlepiece.

Should I do that? Is that what top bloos do? Talk about Liverpool and think about cheering a goal?

Have another 468 Top fan Evertonian points.




I don't "really need to" do anything.



Or it could be that I was sleeping at 2am+

I think its 226am in the UK now, if you don't reply in 5mins I'll assume you're watching re-runs of all the preseason games and celebrating every pass and touch.

It must be nice to choose if you celebrate or not, good luck to you and @Eggs

We didnt loan Aznou because he was signed as a 'promising' player (maybe not Moyes opinion) with a release clause and wanted by his parent club.

Fair point about Chelsea and UEFA -- I wasnt aware of that. But that sounds like a Chelsea problem and not an Everton problem.

Surely if this is the case we should be lowballing (see 1st Dibling offer) or spending a higher amount on a superior Chelsea player?



I dont believe there was interest from other teams at this price. Or at least, it would surprise me.



Lets see who the loan signings are.

I take your point on Travers "not breaking the bank", however im choosing to nitpick based on an overall poor structure and poor strategy.

In isolation its also a poor deal.


£4mil may appear to be a "nothing fee" however even Bobble said the Dibling deal was £3.5mil apart the other day.

In isolation i dont think its a good deal for a player Bournemouth didnt want.

Chelsea havent "taken a bath" theyve even covered the players amortized value and sold for the same with upside on clauses. Based on his book value, they will turn a profit.



Im so confused :)

How many points is @Eggs currently on?

@Exeter_Gently has 1916 just from this post. I’m interested in the leaderboard. I accept I’ll be well down though as I sit silently through last minute goals. I only cheer consolation goals.

I doubt the 3.5m is what’s crashed this deal. Pretty sure it’s the 25% sell on clause that’s made us think f*** that.
