Tarks is CB3. I suspect Myko will be CB4 (though I still would like more cover).
We need a starting RB, and somebody who can depth cover both RB and LB (I guess that's likely Coufal).
Swans would be a good Chermiti loan, assuming we sign someone to job share with Beto.

Re: The Rebuild
Still think we will largely make use of the loan market again, at least this summer.

Re: The Rebuild
Needs to get games in his legs. Would prefer him to be at one of the higher placed teams but if it’s a starter for one or bench depth for another he has to go be a starter.
Re: The Rebuild
Very happy to see Dom and Keane out the door.
Don’t think either of them had anything to offer us anymore.
Was mad how people tried to justify giving Keane a new contract.
He’s a very good footballer but such a bad defender.
Doesn’t react to anything, slow on the turn, always on the wrong side, not aggressive, his game is filled with errors. Just a really poor defender who isn’t even worth a 4th choice spot.
Dom is finished. It was going round when he first got injured that it was going to kill his career and it’s looking like that was right.
He knows it which is why he’s trying to get a big payday but I don’t think that’s coming for him.
If he doesn’t lower his demands I think he’ll struggle to find a club this window.
See yer fellas. Glad you’re not our problem anymore.

Re: The Rebuild
Should never have offered Coleman a playing contract but pleased they've not offered anyone else bar Gueye another one. They're all part of an era of Everton that needs to be forgotten about.

Re: The Rebuild
We are incredibly short of numbers and people are cheering losing squad players who'd have been on relatively small contracts
I think we'd have been in a better position had Keane and young stayed. Young had a very decent season and I honestly think Keane will go to probably 1 of the 3 promoted teams and be very popular there
It's not let we've got a great youth system to fall back on to fill our bench. All it means is we'll just have to sign some different older players who no one likes to replace them

Keane is very up and down but yo suggest he's nothing to offer and a really poor defender is ridiculous. He played 2 of our last 3 games and was very good. He's not worth the contract he's on but he's more than capable of playing for 1 of the 1st sides in this league and we aren't going to get someone better as 4th choice
Re: The Rebuild
The reason they're leaving is because the obviously didn't want to be here on relatively small contracts.
Re: The Rebuild
You suggesting he was worth keeping because he played well in two games is equally as ridiculous.777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Sat Jun 14, 2025 10:07 am Keane is very up and down but yo suggest he's nothing to offer and a really poor defender is ridiculous.

He wasn’t worth keeping because the wages he’d be earning wouldn’t be worth what he produced on the pitch.
He didn’t have anything to offer anymore. We don’t need a 4th choice centre half

Re: The Rebuild
There will be no point during next season where anyone says “I wish we didn’t let go of Michael Keane”, or “We could do with having Jack Harrison right now”
Let these players go. They offered next to nothing on good money.

Re: The Rebuild
I think Ram summed it up well by saying Michael Keane is a very good footballer, but a very bad centre back. He has a lot of talent on the ball, can head and finish really well. But his positioning, awareness, speed and temperament when defending leaves a lot to be desired at the top level.
Actually comes across well during interviews and has conducted his time at the club impeccably. It can't be easy being the third/fourth choice CB. He will find a good club for him and will do absolutely fine, but the PL is a step too far for him.
DCL has just been unfortunate with injuries, and it wouldn't be exaggerating to say that it has almost ruined his career. It drained all his confidence away from a mental perspective. Once that confidence in a top level striker goes, it is hard to bring it back.

Oh, I've just seen the source... from memory Wayne Veysey is a click bait crank

Exclusive: Jack Grealish opens up to friends over Everton transfer

Jack Grealish favours a move to Everton over Newcastle United and the foreign clubs chasing him, sources have told Football Insider.
The 29-year-old accepts he will have to join a new club next season to secure his place in England’s World Cup squad in the summer of 2026.
Everton and Newcastle have joined Napoli and Saudi clubs in registering an interest in the attacking midfielder.
Sources say Grealish has let it be known to friends that he is “open” to a move to another Premier League club, and is “excited” by Everton’s interest.
The glamour of the club’s new stadium and the possibility of a regular starting role is attractive to the former Aston Villa star, who does not just want to be a squad player at a Champions League club.
Everton would not be able to afford the wages of Grealish, earning £350,000-a-week at City, who would need to part-fund what would need to be a loan deal.
