One of my favorite quotes from football - they asked Gazza if Vinnie Jones said anything to him before the game. He said in the tunnel before the game Jones told him "It's just you and me fat boy. Just you and me."

all in jest my friend. we have no shot at CL. We have an outside shot at Europa. There's too much dead weight on this squad from the fat Sam and Silva days. We have about 7 or 8 guys who need to be shown the door. Good news is we have a DoF and manager who are top quality and will build the team up the right way. I won't get excited about anything, because recent history has not been kind to the boys in blue.


Classic. How did I not know about this?

Never say never buddy. You guys could provided the season is set I’ll cancelled. Who do you want Everton to get rid of?

Never say never buddy. You guys could provided the season is set I’ll cancelled. Who do you want Everton to get rid of?

Talent to build around: DCL, Richarlison, Holgate, Mina

Can get the job done: Iwobi, Bernard, Gomes, Pickford, Digne

Need time to prove themselves: Kean, Gbamin, Gordon

Have use but Don’t add anything special: Delph, Walcott, Sidibe (at RM), Baines, Coleman, Schneiderlin

Shouldn’t see the field: Davies, Sidibe (at RB), Gylfi, Keane



so that’s where I stand on most of the squad. Even there, there’s some ups who I waffle on. Siggurdson can look like the 45 million pounds we paid, and then be completely invisible the next. He never looks to be on the ball and lacks the pace to be good in the EPL. Sure his set pieces are master class, and his technical ability is very good. But he just doesn’t fit what Ancelotti wants to do and he isn’t good enough. Gomes is another guy who I waffle on. His smooth style of play masks the fact that he gives up possession easily and doesn’t help much defensively. I still need to see him in a good squad though. He has good things to offer if used correctly.

to answer your question though, here are the guys I want Everton to dump:

let Sidibe walk (we have a buyback), sell Sigurdsson, sell Pickford (if we can get the reported 40 million Chelsea threw out), sell Keane, sell Schneiderlin, sell Cenk Tosun.

I want Everton to find a RB on loan, GK if they sell Pickford, Right Winger with pace, Centreback, forward

in order I’d say Right Winger, Centreback, attacking mid, forward


I’d love Grealish. I love his attitude and confidence on the attack. However, 70 million is just too much and there’s other holes to fill. I like the Gabriel rumors and Soares has been a name often linked I like as well.

there’s just a lot of dead weight from Fat Sam and Silva that needs to be trimmed. FFP is going to make that difficult unless we can offload some of these guys though. Problem is guys like Schneiderlin and Walcott make too much a week for what they are actually worth. Hopefully Brands can make some things happen.

Richarlison seems like he's ready to go nuclear any minute. He's mental like that luis suarez dude.

If you can sell Pickford I would. Sigurdsson and Tosun are getting a bit older and get rid of them now and try and get something. Sidibe id hold onto.

I just don’t see Grealish going anywhere except United. Spares if you can get him cheap then heck yeah.

Gabriel if he does get signed by Everton will be for like 20 mill. That seems like a lot for an young unproven defender in the premier league.

The dude is good for about a goal a game and 15 minutes of pretending he’s injured. It’s irritating both ways.

lol he’s nothing like Suarez. I’m not sure how much you have seen him. He’s a great character and positive influence in the clubhouse. There’s nothing to suggest otherwise.

I love him but I hate this part of his game. It’s the modern game though. It’d be interesting to see who dives more: Richarlison or Mané? Lol

Richarlison is our best player by a mile though. Fun to watch.

Sidibé is a defensive liability. He tracks too far up the pitch and puts us in a bad shape defensively way too often. He’s looked better when he plays in front of Coleman, but he just lacks discipline. I don’t think he comes back. Jonjoe Kenny comes back from a good loan spell at Schalke. We could give him a look, or just find another Sidibé. He’s a dime a dozen.

I agree that Grealish is the type of player that United like to throw money at. I’d bet that’s where he goes. We just have too many holes to plug in other places to make a big splash like Grealish.

Gabriel is the type of player that Everton need to take chances on. We have plenty of money, but can’t afford to spend with the Big 6 for an extended period of time. We have spent to much money the last 5 or so and it is binding us now with FFP restrictions. Maybe they waive FFP with all this Covid nonsense, but i doubt it. He needs a good stepping stone to the EPL, and Everton can fit that bill. There has been a strong connection between Lille and Everton lately. I’d love that move because then Holgate could play more of the 6 and really strengthen our defence. We have struggled mightily without Gueye in that role. Gbamin was supposed to be the answer but his injury really killed us early on.

Tom Davies always looks your best midfielder whenever I see him play. My brother is an Everton fan and agrees with you more than me - says he only has one good game in five.

Richarlisson dives waaaaaay more then spends 15 minutes on the ground trying to sell it. I’m serious, it’s not close.

He hasn't gotten on the field consistently this season. He's loved because he's Scouse, but his form has not improved like it should. If it hadn't been for the plethora of injuries to the midfield this year, he wouldn't have near the number of appearances that he has. He loses the ball far too easily.

Aston Villa CEO is against starting the premier league at neutral sites because Villa won’t have any home games and that’s where they win or get a point on most of their schedule.

Aston Villa join opposition against finishing season at neutral grounds

He might have a great point if the alternative wasn’t they are going to get relegated if the season doesn’t continue. What a jackass.

I'm sure he wants it made null and void and to start over again next season. Norwich, United, City and Spurs are probably in the same boat while Liverpool, Leicester and Sheffield Utd are anxious for it to finish out.

Ohh no doubt, but I can’t imagine that’s a realistic possibility. The championship would probably be lobbing legal threats if the EFL ever considered that.

They have their price. I’m sure if it came down to that a monetary settlement would be reached.

I hope, but still I can’t understand a team like Aston Villa who is in the bottom 3 right now thinking no relegation is plausible.

This is a mess and going to be bad if 14 votes aren’t gotten for restart.
