    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    I haven't seen one yet, so I might as well start one now. I think any budget we have will be dictated by player sales in particular the likely sale of Maupay and the possible sales of Branthwaite and/or Onana. Loan deals and free transfers likely. I am hoping that any money spent will be on...

    Season 2023/2024

    I think there will be enormous changes this summer , in terms of ownership and playing staff. Everything was on hold until the outcome of the games yesterday was decided but the changes can start in earnest now. In terms of playing staff I think we need to realise the manager decided how to get...

    Mentoring

    It looks like another manager leaves Everton , soon to be replaced by another willing victim. I think people underestimate how difficult a job it is to manage Everton. It is a big club with huge expectations , a club that has underperformed for over three decades and is getting steadily worse...

    Kyle John

    I haven't seen him mentioned in any other post today so far. I expect being on the bench today was a big boost for the lad and a sign that the management must think he has a role to play.

    Stanley Mills

    Seems now to be in that twilight Zone of being too good for under age football but not as yet able to force his way into the first team. We saw this with Anthony Gordon a couple of years ago as well. A young lad who seems to have made serious progress in the last twelve months.

    Transfer Rumour Ben Brereton Diaz

    I am posting this largely so that @Eggs can reply. But also it is one that could happen.

    The young guns.

    Can any of the young academy players make an impact on the first team this season? Dobbin Onyango Simms Warrington Whitaker Mills Welch Campbell I may be leaving someone out in that list.

    Net spend.

    During the window anytime there was mention of Everton the gross amount spent by the club on transfers was always mentioned and how that money was wasted. None of us could argue about that but there never seems to be a balanced discussion where it is also pointed out that we recouped about 280m...

    Transfer Rumour Sean Longstaff

    We might as well talk about him because I think he will be an Everton player before January 31st.

    For those broken hearted by this appointment and considering taning a break

    A question for the broken hearted/ Disappointed/feel cheated. For those of you cutting your ties with Everton football, are you also cutting your ties with GOT and other EVerton related forums staying on this forum keeps your link with Everton and I expect it will be difficult is results are...

    Moshiri... return on money invested.

    Moshiri has pumped a lot of money into the club and there is a presumption that most of this has now been lost. The Covid pandemic has changed football completely and certainly for the short to medium term. I just don't think football will be getting back to the way it was pre pandemic for a...

    Evolving squad.

    There is so much talk during transfer windows of players being bought and players being sold. We have now played four competitive games this season and I think the group of players that the manager wants to work with is beginning to become clearer now. There certainly are still a couple of...

    Lewis Gibson

    I haven't seen a thread about him already. I thought he was very good today and looks ready to fight for a place. I doubt he will be going out on loan.

    Blackpool v Everton, Sat 22nd Aug

    The start of a new era...kind of. New season, even though we haven't made any new signings yet. I wonder if we will see Gibson, John, Branthwaite, Simms and/or Nkonkou get a run. Kean will also be the main striker as Richarlison and DCL came back late to training.

    A blank sheet of paper.

    I wonder how many of the current squad the current manager would have bought if somehow he had been able to make those decisions in recent seasons.

    How many players will leave this window ?

    Besic ? Sandro ? Bolasie ? Niasse ? Pennington ? Garbutt ? Schneidelin ? Martina? Baningme ?

    How quickly things can change in football.

    CA is manager of Everton for 31 days now. We have moved from relegation contenders to top six contenders in that time. We would have a benefactor whose wealth extends to several billions although we are not sure of his exact relationship with the club just yet. Planning permission formally...

    A new Everton.

    If the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti goes ahead I think we are looking effectively at the birth of a new club.... wherever that will bring us. Ancelotti is not coming to Everton to turn us into a top six side, I would expect that a return much better than that will be the target when you...

    The power brokers.

    We are now in as big a mess as we have been for some time and I wonder who is seen to be responsible for getting us into this mess by the power brokers at Everton. Is it Moshiri,Brands, Kenwright or somebody else ? More importantly, I wonder who is going to be making the decisions over the next...

    Ambition.

    Several times in recent years I have had the feeling that we were beginning to show the ambition that was needed to get us challenging for a top six or even a top four position in the league. The arrival of Farhad Moshiri has undoubtedly taken us forward and the development of the new ground(...
