2025/26 James Garner

[Swartzy]

That just carries on to the next game, unless there's an amnesty round the corner.

I'd rather he was here to play against Forest or Burnley than Arsenal where we'll be less likely to get points.

It made no sense to sub him today if we are trying to get back into that match.

Speak well, when in this thread mate. or I will be hunting you down..

Genuinlery wouldn’t be surprised if Tuchel calls him up in the very near future - he’s been that good.

Doubtful he makes the World Cup squad but maybe beyond that he’ll get a call up

He was there today and yet again Garner put in a top class performance.

Especially with Gana next to him, you'd hope that having KDH and above level players takes his game up a notch with England.

Ideal player for Tuchel to call up.

He's bang average. A lot of our fans can't see the wood for the trees anymore rating players like this, Barry, Mykolenko et al

I take it you're on a wind up.

I'll assume you rate him highly if you think I'm on a wind up. Good for you.

 

[Zatara]

Tuchel will have been impressed.

 

[Swartzy]

Hopefully his Contract talks, saying he hasn't really thought about it and is just touching base at the moment,
Mean it's in his agents hands.

Hopefully a new year signature will be another statement of the club.
( possibly a way to distract a lack of jan signings )

Better not have left it to late.

I tend to agree. However, he has shown signs of development, so he's one of the last ones I'd be targeting right now for the door. Mykolenko and Barry are massive liabilities. The absence of full backs is murdering us, too.

Player of the season so far = Bang average.

What do you rate the rest of squad than.

Not great, to be honest. My player of the year is KDH. He's been a difference maker. Garner is improving, playing well - but he's hardly outstanding. Pickford is top class. Ndiaye has fizzed along with invention. Grealish in and out, but capable of magic. The rest? Meh.

Take KDH out of the no8 role, has he performed the level of Garner wk on wk..

KDH is a cracking player, and even better when playing next to Garner, good players make other players better.

Difference in opinion though.

"Look, I wouldn't be letting [Garner] go and I think the Club will do everything they can to make sure that he stays," added Moyes. "It's probably a bit of a difference and shows signs [of progression] because I'm not sure many clubs have been after many Everton players in the past but now they're maybe starting to take a bit of interest, which is a good sign.

"Hopefully he signs a new contract when the time comes but at the end of the season he's got an option [of an extra year extension] as well so, obviously, we'll be on that, if we need to be."

First time confirming the Club option officially?
