Lots of reports today stating we are looking at Ederson again from Atalanta. Would love this to be true.
Ederson, Hato, Kerkez, Cunha would be a great summer for me with a Nunez replacement too.
04 Apr 2025 17:28:58
wouldn't Cunha be a Nunez replacement?
04 Apr 2025 18:00:23
Wouldn't he be a jota replacement?
04 Apr 2025 18:57:17
Bang on Magico much more a Jota replacement by some margin too. We need a different type to replace Nunez.
04 Apr 2025 19:01:06
Good player why would we wait a year to sign a midfielder when the one we waited for we could have just gotten last year.
04 Apr 2025 19:08:16
I think we can replace Nunez and Jota with one incoming. I'm hoping Danns is able to step up. Eds or anyone know how he's doing on loan?
04 Apr 2025 19:08:16
Wishful thinking you forget who owns the club .
04 Apr 2025 19:29:04
€60-65m great deal in my mind. The owners will spend if they need to, I don’t get the negativity, they have made the club profitable and won’t allow us to take on unnecessary or additional debt, that’s a good thing, no?
04 Apr 2025 20:34:49
Behave Shug, they don’t spend when they need to. Which is why they’ve won one title in their 15 years. A bit of extra quality during the Klopp tenure could have inched us over. Additionally, supplementing a winning team should be factored in to the thinking.
04 Apr 2025 20:43:42
Couldn't agree more shughes.
04 Apr 2025 21:46:24
If the owners had access to seemingly unlimited state funded sponsorships the club would certainly have won more cups, titles and fans appreciation.
Assuming we win the league in the next few weeks, which we will, another way of looking at it is we have won :
2 PLs, 1 CL,1 World Club Championship, 1 European Super Cup, 1 FA Cup and 2 League Cups in the past 6 years., which is a total of 8 trophies
In the same period
Arsenal have won 1 FA Cup,
Chelsea have won 1 Europa League, 1 Euro Super Cup and 1 WCC
Manchester United won 1 FA Cup and 1 League Cup
Newcastle have won 1 League Cup
Which collectively is a total of 7 trophies.
if a sovereign state wasn’t fielding a footy team we would have won a fair few more trophies in the last six years and as for the rest listed, if ever you wanted proof that spending hundreds of millions isn’t (unlike when we play computer games) necessarily the solution that you might think it is.
Ed025 - I’m doing a search for Everton’s latest trophy win, mate. The last message I got from the search engine was ‘hang on this might take a bit of time’.
{Ed025's Note - we have been in a bit of a slump lately WDW but now that slump is over mate, we are on the way up and your lot will be one of the casualties, mark my words..
04 Apr 2025 22:17:14
Casualties is definitely the correct word ed25!
{Ed025's Note - half of your team need to take up chess Digger, and they would still be rolling around mate.. :)
04 Apr 2025 23:00:10
I’m going to tell my dad on you 25 ?.
{Ed025's Note - snitch.. :)
04 Apr 2025 23:55:42
Didn't Everton win a draw against us at Goodison not too long ago?
{Ed025's Note - that just shows how poor the standard is this season Hanif, there is not much between our teams mate which tells us that you are going to win the weakest league ever..
05 Apr 2025 07:20:28
U did leave bit of opening there in fairness ed25!
{Ed025's Note - i did mate...im losing my touch.. :)
05 Apr 2025 08:13:15
Maybe you're right 25 mate, but I'll personally be surprised if Everton aren't in another relegation scrap next season.
{Ed025's Note - i cant see that happening Bmena, next season will be about steady progress and consolidation mate and we will finish top half, the season after we will be coming for you...you have been warned.. :)
05 Apr 2025 09:48:06
Nah, I think eVARton will do just fine next season. Just have the likes of Barrott and Tierney man the officiating for 10-15 games and it will be smooth sailing for Moyes. ???.
{Ed025's Note - we dont need any help ArAy, we are on the way up mate and with new owners and the best ground in the country there will be nothing stopping us from progressing, Moyes will do fine for the initial transition and will be replaced in a year or two when top 6 will be the aim..
05 Apr 2025 09:56:52
You won’t be coming after us with Moyes Ed mate.
And he will be there next year undoubtedly for ye with how well it’s gone last few months. That will ware off though and you’ll be back in the dog fight ;)
{Ed025's Note - i think thats more in hope than expectation on your part Joe, in our 2 encounters this season there was not much between the teams which just shows how poor the league has been this season, we are on the up and with a few good signings will be a lot stronger whereas you will be losing players and will be in transition i expect, it bodes well for an interesting season on Merseyside mate and you will definitely be a shift in the balance of power...you have been warned.. :)
05 Apr 2025 10:51:22
Liverpool were drawn into a dogfight with the ball in the air for much of the game at goodison, ed, slot will have learned from that and surely won't allow it to happen again. As for the game a few days ago, Everton did absolutely nothing whatsoever in the second half once Slot made adjustments at half time. This is his first year in the league and his first time coaching the Merseyside derby and he still got 4 points despite our team playing relatively poorly in both games (should have got 6 if not for dodgy refereeing and a tarkowski wonder goal that 9 times out of 10 would have flown wide), surely that isn't solid proof that the gap between our teams is as small as you think.
{Ed025's Note - 2 goals against 3 tells me different PB, and we were the better side at Goodison mate...well in my opinion..
05 Apr 2025 10:55:35
You should tell your dad WDW.
Maybe he can recall last time Everton were great :-)
(Sorry for the cheapshot)
05 Apr 2025 11:13:07
I look forward to it Ed mate.
Dare I say I have a soft spot for the Blues!
I think with 4 or 5 really good signings. Everton could push for European places.
But not with moyes.
Interesting with the new stadium and all the money where ye can go!
{Ed025's Note - we should do ok i think Joe but you can never tell, i have seen quite a few false dawns in my time mate..
05 Apr 2025 11:47:15
Delusional Ed025 I’m afraid.
{Ed025's Note - we all are when it comes to our own teams Tom, but i have warned you mate so you cant say you were not warned.. :)
05 Apr 2025 11:59:25
Sure you were the better side ed, but that's exactly my point, even when moyes' game plan worked and slot was outmanoeuvred as a rookie in the Merseyside derby you still couldn't win and had to rely on a wondergoal from a clear foul at the death to dig you out and get a point, at anfield you didn't have a single shot on goal and then did nothing when slot worked out how to shut you out in the second half. I don't know why you would assume that slot would get worse as he grows into the league rather than better, is what I'm saying.
Getting 4 points from the Merseyside derby as a rookie manager in the league and your team playing below average for about half of the two games is an achievement and not a demerit on slot's resume as far as I'm concerned.
{Ed025's Note - the thing is PB Slot inherited a very strong team mate, if you lose a couple and replace the ones you need to its a bit of a rebuild, so then we will really see how good spam head really is .. :)
05 Apr 2025 12:20:10
It's a strong team but one that has very very clear shortcomings, shortcomings that Moyes didn't manage to fully exploit, nor did he even show a whole lot of appetite to exploit, as seen in the second half at anfield.
When we played at goodison it was near the end of a very punishing run and players were tired, the last thing Liverpool needed was a game where we needed to win 50-50s everywhere on the pitch, but we still were one second away from winning.
You can look at things from another perspective, if we can keep Virgil and ideally Mo we can address the weaknesses in the team that have been exposed this year, and a strong team becomes even stronger, I have every confidence that will be the case. Without Trent I think we lose a lot, but the focal point for progressing the ball will shift somewhere else in our team, that's all.
It's rather fanciful thinking that Everton will invest well given that they have pretty much been the worst in the premier league at doing so besides united the last few years, but maybe you can unearth another n'diaye type signing. Still, you're probably going to lose branthwaite and who knows, maybe somebody is going to buy garner and then you're in trouble.
05 Apr 2025 14:26:07
Ed025, every time I see Harrison play I always ask myself "what is that man doing on a football pitch? ". On the pages of GQ or Men's Vogue I would understand. ??.
{Ed025's Note - I’m with you on that ArAy. He is pathetic mate..
05 Apr 2025 14:57:38
Lot's of reports? I do not see ONE? Is Ederson going to come to LFC and split minutes with Berch? I think that ship is sailed. I would be looking at Endo type/ level squad replacement if he leaves for cover.
06 Apr 2025 19:05:58
I think you are going to have to rebait that hook edd025. The bites out of the first one have cleaned it to the barb. ? ?.
{Ed025's Note - im not a WUM Mbwell just a football fan with opinions mate, you may not agree with all i say and thats fine...but i will opine anyway..
