• rnI\'d just be giving game time to Aznou, Dibbling, Armstrong & George.rnThey could build a bit of confidence, connections with team mates, I know we could see them get minutes but get them in starting line up I\'d say. rnI\'d start Dibbling every preseason game and judge where his heads at. rnrn...

  Tom Bowers in “We will see what happens” — Maresca tight-lipped on 'good guy' Grealish’s City future
• If he leaves City he\'s only joining us, I don\'t see him going anywhere else even Villa.rnrnIf he comes back to Everton he\'s the absolute main man, the poster boy and I think Jack genuinely loves that role.rnrnWe missed him especially in that last 7 games of the season when out ball retention in attacking area\'s was abysmal and was paramount in my opinion to us seeping so many goals and blowing so many leads....
  Jim Bennings in “We will see what happens” — Maresca tight-lipped on 'good guy' Grealish’s City future
• Rob - sadly our resident financial guru (Paul the Esk) seems to have disappeared with the new ToffeeWeb but he does go through the finances of Europe here https://theesk.org/2026/05/18/everton-the-projected-financial-cost-of-missing-europe/#:~:text=Under%20a%20Europe%2Dbound%20trajectory,League%20boost%20layered%20onto%20stadium)rnrnWhat I have discovered is UEFA’s Squad Cost Ratio limits a club’s on-pitch spending to a maximum of 70% of its total revenue. All Premier League clubs in European competitions will still have to adhere to this limit, while clubs not competing in Europe will have a higher threshold of 85%.rnrnHis view is our revenue is ~£250m. If we had made Europe then we would have to have spent £35-40m less on the squad to comply with UEFA and that maybe meant not bringing in the players to be able to compete and also to ensure we did not get relegated. Look at United, Spurs, Forest, Palace and Newcastle over the last couple of seasons.rnrnSo was...
  Phil Roberts in European football for Everton was there for the taking
• I really don\'t want to join the pessimists, but we do need some class recruits or we could be battling relegation never mind top 8.rnThe squad as it stands now is below requirements for a mid-table finish, the owners are taking a huge risk if we don\'t get at least 3 new decent players from somewhere.rnrnIf we do get into difficulty that won\'t be just down to Moyes, any manager will struggle with our squad....
