Michael Kenrick 2 Posted 15/06/2025 at 12:15:47 But Adama Bojangle — that would make everyone happy! Stu Darlington 3 Posted 15/06/2025 at 12:47:11 Just browsing through the above list of players on a lazy Sunday morning who are allegedly linked with Everton this week.At a glance it contains :8 strikers8 midfielders 3 players who can play fullback 1 winger2 centre backs and 1 goalkeeper I know a lot on this list are a result of lazy journalism and the club in the past has usually played its cards close to its chest but it does give cause for thought,because in my humble opinion our main needs this summer are for a whole new right side to the team.This would include:A right backPacy right wingerPossibly a creative right sided midfielder StrikerBack up centre back Back up goalkeeper So I’d say that we are looking at 6 or 7 signings at least across all positions.In this respect it is difficult to take the above list too seriously given how out of balance it appears.Although I am aware that some of the players listed generically as strikers or midfielders can play a number of roles, I can only hope that the breakdown of that list is not representative of the clubs priorities as a whole.Ah well,too much thinking for a Sunday so back to a beer and a snooze!! Bobby Mallon 4 Posted 15/06/2025 at 19:52:54 Gabs has signed a 2-year deal — done and dusted. Ed Prytherch 5 Posted 15/06/2025 at 21:21:32 Who is Gabs? Michael Kenrick 6 Posted 15/06/2025 at 22:07:55 I reckon it must be a typo for Gana, Ed.(b is next to n, and s is next to a on't keyboard)But I'm not seeing it anywhere. But I don't follow Twatter. Paul Kossoff 7 Posted 15/06/2025 at 23:49:58 Micheal 2. Adama Bojangle?It's Mr to you. 😁 Gerry Quinn 8 Posted 18/06/2025 at 06:15:33 Another "Rumour Mill"...According to an early fixture leak, Everton are reportedly set to open the 2025/26 campaign at home to Crystal Palace.The weekend of 8 November is set to host a landmark occasion, the first-ever Merseyside Derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The reverse fixture at Analfield is scheduled for the weekend of 21 February Can't beat speculation and guesswork https://princerupertstower.com/crystal-palace-problem-contains-potential-warnings-for-everton-too-01jxpw4hjjwh Matt Traynor 9 Posted 18/06/2025 at 06:51:53 Gerry, those leaked fixtures are fake. I didn't scan for detail when I saw them yesterday, but apparently the last day of the season has West Ham playing Leicester (who were relegated last season).Oh and one team has Forest at home twice! Danny O'Neill 10 Posted 18/06/2025 at 06:55:33 All will be revealed on the club website, BBC and Sky in just over 2 hours this morning. Gerry Quinn 11 Posted 18/06/2025 at 07:50:28 Thanks Matt, Gerry, as I said, "Can't beat speculation and guesswork"...media crapology is such a pain now... Pete Neilson 12 Posted 18/06/2025 at 08:21:19 Mystic Meg like prediction:First home game weekend of 23rd August against BrightonAway to Leeds first weekend - on Monday nightBut maybe my crystal ball is playing up. Ryan Holroyd 13 Posted 18/06/2025 at 08:39:53 Leeds away first game of the season. Palace the first home match Pete Neilson 14 Posted 19/06/2025 at 13:35:12 Sad news to read about Deulofeu‘s injury maybe making him retire at 31. He’s been injured now for over two years.Link Martin Berry 15 Posted 20/06/2025 at 14:52:31 I think TFG will surprise us all and sign on on that list ! Kevin Walsh 16 Posted 21/06/2025 at 14:44:38 I work on the river daily and one thing that I constantly notice when sailing past is that there are no Everton badges or insignia or logos on the stadium. To anyone not familiar with Liverpool, they would have no idea this is Everton's stadium… anybody else noticed this? Les Callan 17 Posted 21/06/2025 at 15:09:26 Several people have commented on this, Kevin. If you recall, when the plans were first issued, the name of the club was written in big blue letters on the seaside stand.But it seemed to disappear quite soon after. Maybe it was removed because of planning regs? Paul Kossoff 18 Posted 21/06/2025 at 19:19:24 If Gueye, Calvert-Lewin, Keane go, how many first team players do we have left. And I mean those who gave played in the first team, not gems in the under 20+ that are so well hidden no one knows where they are. Just how many signings do we need? Paul Kossoff 19 Posted 21/06/2025 at 19:25:45 Hope this is wrong. Everton's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock will not have the name "Everton" on it. Instead, it will be known as the Hill Dickinson Stadium.Apparently if the team are playing in Europe then the ground has to use the name of the club because of Uefa regulations. So I would presume that Everton will have to be displayed somewhere on the stadium. Brian Williams 20 Posted 21/06/2025 at 19:45:26 There are only four Premier League clubs who have their name on or incorporated into the name of the stadium.Let's try'n not to whinge over every little thing. Mike Hayes 21 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:03:47 Hear Chermiti going on loan to Stoke 🤷 Grant Rorrison 22 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:06:32 Paul 18. About 13. If you include Seamus Coleman and Chermiti. Andrew Ellams 23 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:07:19 Heard that too Mike Liam Mogan 24 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:11:35 Chermiti needs a loan imo. Needs games and some goals above academy level.Obviously need to make sure we get enough players in first. Paul Kossoff 25 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:14:21 Grant, ta. Moyes better get a move on then. Paul Kossoff 26 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:20:10 Brian 20. So you think wondering if we are actually going to have the club's name on a billion-pound stadium is whinging? Jeeees, and here is me going to query, if we can squirt our own (named) mayonnaise on the burgers. Brian Williams 27 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:27:03 As I pointed out, Paul, it's not a common occurrence in the Premier League so I don't see not having it emblazoned on the stadium as a negative.People on here do love a good whinge, some seem to actually look for reasons to do so. Jon Atkinson 28 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:31:08 Just back from Miami, took a baseball game in at “ Loan Depot Park “ You wouldn’t know who’s home it is, perhaps the Marlins just play there. Far to big a venue for them, gets full when a concert is on ! BMD needs EFC,s name and crests on it. Liam Mogan 29 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:38:08 It definitely needs crests and EFC branding. Paul Kossoff 30 Posted 21/06/2025 at 20:40:15 Jon, tell that to Brian, he says I'm a whinger for inquiring if my club is going to have my club's name on the stadium. After all, Everton do own it, so you would think they would. But I suppose we shouldn't whinge about it.Amazing the amount of Evertonians happy to call it the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Liam Mogan 31 Posted 21/06/2025 at 21:01:27 Think most grounds have their clubs crest and also name of the club on the outside of stadium?We did at GP. Man Utd do. City do. The RS do? None of their grounds have the club name in the title, but they all have specific branding. Brian Williams 32 Posted 21/06/2025 at 21:02:21 Paul. My comment wasn't aimed at you. I wasn't calling YOU a whinger. Paul Kossoff 33 Posted 21/06/2025 at 21:09:00 Brian, don't take any notice of me, anyone will tell you I am a habitual moaner, and will, at the drop of a naming rights to our stadium, moan and whinge till the cows come home. I've always wondered, shouldn't those Holstein-Friesians cows have the name tattooed on the side.😁 Alan J Thompson 34 Posted 22/06/2025 at 06:49:46 I was worried when it was mentioned that we were interested in a 35 year old full back but I notice that list includes a Benitez, a striker called Ferguson and haven't I heard the name Barry before but to top it off, does Dan Neil post on here? All click bait, the more things change or Mr K taking the proverbial, no, he wouldn't, would he, or is it all Oral Mangalled? Mick O'Malley 35 Posted 22/06/2025 at 08:25:15 It's called BMD as far as I'm concerned, that's where it is, I'm not calling it The Hill Dickinson Stadium Colin Glassar 36 Posted 22/06/2025 at 09:14:57 Same here, Mick. A bloody awful name for a stadium. Brian Williams 37 Posted 22/06/2025 at 10:23:36 And the latest gem is Mitrovic for £38.5m. Steve Brown 38 Posted 22/06/2025 at 10:29:40 Surely you mean £3.85 million Brian. Danny O'Neill 39 Posted 22/06/2025 at 11:23:21 Paul Kossoff. You a moaner? Never sir. Your posts make me laugh and smile, with your dry humour. And I mean that genuinely.On the stadium name, I'm not particularly fussed. Financially, it's one of the largest financial stadium rights deal in Europe. So if we have to have their name on the stadium, we are getting paid very well for it.I agree though, Everton should appear somewhere. Maybe replicate the crests on the Main Stand and Bullens Road at Goodison?For me, I refer to it as the Everton Stadium. That's what the club were doing pre-sponsorship and what was on the tickets for the event matches. Bobby Mallon 40 Posted 22/06/2025 at 11:38:52 Paul @30,If you look at the Everton Way, where all our beautiful names are set in stone, the name 'Everton' is spelt out perfectly. I agree, a huge sign with our club name should be put up facing the river so everyone knows who we are as they sail past. Brian Harrison 42 Posted 22/06/2025 at 11:50:36 I thought it was quite interesting that David Moyes was watching one of the Club World Cup games in the USA. Certainly there are some very talented South Americans and as their club sides are showing they are a match for the European sides.
