Yeah, this is frustrating.
We should have told his agent we were looking to move on and that he wouldn’t be getting minutes in preseason so it would be in his best interests to find a new club asap.
We’re not ruthless enough as a club.
Need a buyer for him, and Palace with a new manager aren't any longer interested. Maybe someone last minute, likes of Lampard at Coventry will offer him a chance, but sadly I think he'll end up staying here.

Concerning that he's not in the squad, equally so with Hackney. What the fuck's going in there?
Everton do things in mysterious ways. Which is why we are a strange club.
We'll get told Dibling has a minor injury or something similar.
Hackney probably being 'integrated' or isn't premier league ready as yet. It's the usual shit that comes out of the club.

There’s a difference between waiting for a buyer and having a player’s agent proactively shopping them around.

Maybe his agent is happy for him to stay at Everton, cos he certainly isn't getting a better deal elsewhere than here.

On the pre-match programme they're suggesting it might be three at the back with Röhl and Aznou as wing-backs.

They've just said Dibling will feature on Tuesday.

Shame no Hackney.
Like to see Branthwaite back and Aznou given another run out.

Annoyingly this has commentary now and is out of sync. Edit: Fixed with refresh. Unfortunately still Everton on the screen.

Hackney is recovering from an injury picked up at the end of last season.

Still? I thought as he got a run out late in the playoff final he was close to being fit?
