I can see Martinez leaving Villa in the summer for a Barca/Real profile. I can see Villa coming in for Pickford.
-
Branthwaite for his pure quality but special mention to Young for the foresight to bribe the VAR officials.
-
The cost of the purchase then knocking Goodison down and removing the ‘debris’ (seems disrespectful to our home), then the redevelopment cost… with property and land costs/value - basically, Moshiri/whoever are keeping Goodison as a community site as, really, that’s the only option - it’s not a sentimental gesture - it’s lack of value. In London, the land’s worth millions but not in our location unfortunately.
-
I feel a bit better after reading this…
-
I hate this thread!!! Kudus is SO good - to think we didn’t sign him as Man U pushed so hard for Antony for £100m, who turned out to be a massive flop who Man U would be better without… I know it was only an initial loan but it all has a very Everton ‘if only’ feeling about it!
-
Now vata be a good signing.
-
Yep - probably silly season but Fermin Lopez stands out here. I hadn’t heard of him until recently but he looks like he’s got a bit of Gary Speed/Tim Cahill about him - arrives late in the box. The exact kind of player we need in my opinion. If he’s not going to feature at Barca long term, he’ll be a name I’ll be looking out for.
-
Part of me is tempted by one of the Club Everton - whatever they’re calling the food/drink lounge/street food deals… if it’s £800 for just the seat - I often spend £50 by the time I’ve had food and a few beers - over the course of a season anything under £2k and it’d probably be worth it if enough food/drink are included. About £100 game sounds ridiculous when compared to what we’re used to paying but sadly it is what it is!
-
Garner had a horrible game but I think Dyche likes to keep him and McNeill on for their set-piece delivery. Bar the crosses/assist, McNeill was at least as bad as Garner too!
-
Tarkowski did well all game - Godfrey was okay - Onana and Harrison should have started and Pickford made a couple of decent saves but overall that was shocking - a change in their system and we had no ideas. Should have been 3 points but we lack any pace and craft whatsoever so end up just playing in front of teams and you’ll get punished more often than not. Only positive was… I didn’t go with it being a Monday night game!
-
Oops - rogue rather! Callum O’Hare impressing again for Coventry - free agent in the summer. I’d love him here. More of a 10 than a winger but a class playmaker at Championship level anyway.
-
I like him for what we are currently. We are desperate for a bit of pace and dynamism on the wings but that either comes at sky high cost or comes in the form of a ‘young rouge’ who’s likely to have as many off days as great days - players we’ve seen here like Geri, Gordon and Lookman. As above, Harrison, for anything up to £20m is a no-brainer for me as, like McNeil, he’s steady - both put in a shift and are a threat going forward. If we have McNeil and Harrison as a starting point, it makes it so much easier to give minutes to a ‘live wire’ winger who’s got a bit of magic but may not be as good putting the miles in in tougher battles.
-
Harsh - I’d point the finger at Gueye personally - didn’t get it out of his feet when there was space.
-
Idrissa put in a great shift today… thought Garner did well alongside him and think Harrison is our best option as 10 when Doucoure is out… and yes, I don’t mind Young on the right wing when Harrison’s 10 - all I care about is results this is our best bet (in my opinion) with what we’ve got.
-
We’ll get money for him this summer - for that reason alone, he’s been one of our better striker signings since Lukaku
-
Branch? Did he leaf us for Wolves?
-
Of course - he’s arguably our most important player. Bar Branthwaite and Onana - I don’t see many teams chasing our players and, if we need to sell, sadly, Doucoure for £Xm with his value probably peaking… I would - you wouldn’t but it won’t stop the powers that be if Doucoure shows any interest - which I don’t actually think he will.
-
Far too important to lose… BUT if it’s ridiculous money (with some available to reinvest), the club can’t turn it down. Unfortunately, that’s where we are - no player is untouchable.
-
You may as well get mentally prepared now for Coleman and Young as our right side… won’t always be pretty but will probably be effective - defensively more than offensively. It’ll be a case of bringing Dobbin or another on when the old legs have gone (probably 10minutes after it’s obvious!)
-
I don’t think he’ll be here beyond the window personally - I do think we’ll replace with someone who’s more natural on the right which will allow Harrison to play at 10. I don’t think Danjuma’s replacement will be a starter though as think Young will be Dyche’s first choice at right wing when fit (and Harrison playing 10).

Billy Ingham - made famous as the face of a Sky Sport ad campaign a few years ago. Lovely chap - used to drink in the Taxi Club pre-match. Our Bill, is Bill Pattie.
-
Echo all the sentiment above - Bill was and always will be a huge part of ToffeeTalk. I remember him as one of the mods when I first joined and had his own forum on standby whenever ToffeeTalk needed a few more pennies to keep the lights on - it was often ‘down’ and Bill’s forum filled the void. As above, I didn’t always share Bill’s views on Everton but he was clearly a huge Evertonian. Love to @patto and family Finally, @patto I think it’s kind of cool that you and @Bill never revealed your link.
