    Spot on Eggs, You really can't leave Bally out of any team of former Everton greats, I know it's difficult for the younger blues to understand, but, he was just so much better than his contemporaries. The best Everton player I've seen in my 60 plus years watching the Blues.

    New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

    So well over double what was spent by Roma. You know what Dave, I'm glad you were never a ship mate of mine, you have so many negative vibes on any given subject it becomes hard work.

    New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

    I'm not sure about your maths here Dave. Alcaraz £12 mill, Dibling £35 mill, Dewsbury Hall £28 mill, Barry £27.5 mill, Aznou £8 mill, back up keeper £4 mill. So, even if you don't count the £21 mill obligation for Rohl or the £12 mill loan fee for Grealish,which they have had to finance that is...

    New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

    Nobody mentioned net spend though Dave did they? You've had a mare on this window, I've never known anybody enjoy so much having something to whinge about in my life. It's an utter nonsense to try to say that they have not invested heavily in all aspects of the club since taking over. I'm not...

    New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

    But, I seem to remember you telling us that they would spend big on Roma, their 'main team' and we would have much less backing. If you count the obligation to buy fee, they've spent the best part of £150 million and that's without the £12 million for the Grealish loan fee. Quite a significant...

    Disappointed not to get a right back in, once again, but, I've gone with an 8. I think we are much stronger than we were at the end of last season and we have added some real quality.

    Youre quite correct mate, I do feel differently.

    2025/26 Michael Keane

    In an ideal world Branthwaite and O'Brien should be our starting pair, Tarkowski is good with a partner who is quick, Branthwaite or O'Brien. Keane is ok with a quick partner as well. The time has come now for us to get a proper right back in and make O'Brien and Branthwaite our first choice pair.

    2025/26 Jack Grealish

    He terrifies defences and draws two players to mark him constantly, the problem for our opponents is that this creates space for Ndiaye. The football going forwards is very nice to watch at the moment. Defensively we need to add pace, as without Branthwaite we lack pace in defence. Bring in a...

    Good footballer, it's lovely to have some players who don't treat the ball like an unexploded bomb.

    Match Thread Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-3 Everton 15:00 Aug 30

    We look brilliant going forward, lovely to watch, but, we are being caught out for pace at the back far too often. I'd have to say though, what an entertaining team to watch going forward. What a difference Grealish makes, he creates so much space for his colleagues and has the ability to...

    Transfer Rumour Tomas Soucek

    I really hope we don't sign Soucek, I don't rate him at all, however Moyes does, and in all fairness, he's probably a better judge than I am. The sobering thought however, at the figures for fee and wages being bandied about, Soucek on a 2 year contract would cost us 3 million more than...

    Did what we needed to. Armstrong MOTM for me, Alcaraz and Grealish were very good as well.

    Confirmed Signing Tyler Dibling

    From the little I've seen of him he looks to have great potential. I don't think we will start to see the best of him until next season. Obviously he's going to get lots of playing time, but, I don't think Moyes will use him to very week. I think for quite a few games Dewsbury Hall or Alcaraz...

    Ideally I'd like to see a big snidey, mobile hard case come in for centre midfield and a competent quick right back. Get those and it's been a good window.
