• With Tarkowski showing signs of slowing down, and Jarrad unlikely to start the season (again), if Stones were available on a free and reasonable wages (~ 100K/week), we should go for him. Having a 6-time PL winner on our books should rub off on the other players. Plus, we will need to sign at least 1 more CB. Max Kilman has lost his way at West Ham, and is out of favour there. While that is partly due to his pwn performances, under the right manager and a new environment, no reason he cannot go back to be the player that West Ham paid 40 million for. His market value today may be no more than 15-20 million. Stones, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Kilman, Tarkowski - is a decent centre-back group. ...

• I agree with John Collins at 78. Until then I would like to see Moyes give Dibling a run on the right and give Rohl, Armstrong, Iroegbunam and Alcaraz more time to show what they can bring to next seasons Everton. O'Brien and Keane in the middle for now - let Jimmy Garner baby-sit the right back position allowing one of the above to get some time in the team. Then all out in summer for a first choice right back and a striker to replace Barry. Maybe a right winger too if Dibling doesn't work out, but if he doesn't play how will we know? Goodbye to McNeil, Barry, Barry and Barry, Gana, Tarkowski and, takes a deep breath, Coleman, in the summer. My preference would be Iraola or Glasner to come in but if Moyes is to stay then instructions to give the youth some time in the team rather than just play for mid table money. Build a new team. and get rid of Barry....

• Watching a poor Chelsea, with Delap given another chance, he’s had a few, please give this guy a wide berth. He flatters to deceive, no better than what we’ve got, more effort than Barry yes but less presence than Beto. Please don’t waste £30m on him. ...

• Sadly Jarrads playing record since the start of the 2024/25 season, is pretty glum, around 40 appearances, some as a sub, until last weekend. I suppose if we had paid millions for him, it would not be a great return. Someone said, players did nt seem to get injured as much years ago, but the pace of the game, is a lot faster, that is the danger with hamstrings, but if players can hack todays game, they often can play well into their 30s still at the top level....
