This week, Everton are being linked with:

  • Jackson Tchatchoua, right-back at Hellas Verona
  • Milan van Ewijk, right-back at Coventry City
  • Valentin Castellanos, striker at Lazio
  • Sean Longstaff, midfielder at Newcastle Utd
  • Richarlison, striker at Tottenham Hotspur

Everton may or may not be negotiating new deals this week with: 

  • Calvert-Lewin, still exuding mixed messages… 
  • Idrissa Gana Gueye, expected to extend his stay
  • James Tarkowski, wants to secure a new deal
  • Jordan Pickford, wants to see out his career at Everton
  • Seamus Coleman, extended to stay… as coach?

And these Everton players may be moving elsewhere:

  • Abdoulaye Doucoure may have been waving goodbye on Sunday 

  •  
  •

I fancy Moyes will want to keep Calvert-Lewin- its a 50/50 decision for me.
Gana Gueye has earned a year or two.
Tarkowski likewise.
Pickford obviously.
Doucoure I will be sorry to see him go - I would give him 1 or 2 years if money could be agreed, but when he came off it did seem like he's not been given a contract.
Longstaff - is a no.
Richarlison - he's another 50/50 decision.
I don't know the other 2 that Michael has mentioned.

Do we take it that all those mentioned in the last two weeks but not this have now been discarded by the hacks paid to make this up?

Good question, Phil.

I have been adding them back in when I see them mentioned again, but this can be just a cross reference by said creative journo, referencing his own earlier creative work.

I like the thought that some sources are more reliable than others. The fact is that these are all (I think it's safe to say) from click-bait sites and few if any from what might pass in previous times as the highly respected and mainstream media (stop laughing at the back!) who once had sufficient integrity to avoid publishing such rubbish.

I know it's (almost all) rubbish because, as in previous seasons, many are linked, but few are chosen to actually join the club. I suspect it will be the same this year.

Clear the decks as much as we can – bring in some young hungry players from lower leagues or abroad (if they'll come), get them bedded in before the first match. We need players with resale value in the future, with no real U21s coming through.

Doucoure has stunk the place out for 90% of matches; yes, he's come up with league saving goals but we need more contributions for the money he wants over a whole season and he hasn't shown that at all. A box-to-box midfielder who's stuck in a box.

We need to keep Alcaraz; maybe him knowing he's wanted and first name on the teamsheet will spur him on.
Seamus would be a great ambassador for the club, like Tim Cahill.

Sorry but although Richarlison was a great buy and plays well and loves the club, he's far too injury-prone to sustain a decent run.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin needs to move on – he's a nice lad and has a passion but, like Richarlison, could be accompanying him in the treatment room. We've had enough of them over the years and it has held us back.

All that's happening now gives us fans hope we are moving onward and upward to a brighter future than the last 30+ years.

I think we'll see two new full-backs (left and right), a right-sided midfielder, an attacking midfielder (Alcaraz?) and probably a striker if Calvert-Lewin does move on.

2 Middlesbrough lads getting attention, both midfielders 22-24.

Hayden Hackney 9 goals in 86, central midfielder
Finn Azaz 16 goals in 65 games, attacking midfielder

Sorry about the double post. Was on the metro in Barcelona (yes, I was) and the signal was not good.

Sure the guy opposite was Messi and I showed him the videos from yesterday and he was quite interested.

Michael, I think it’s more the case of selling clubs and agents choosing to do business with Everton - rather than us choosing who we want of these targets.

Tchatchoua is of interest to lots of clubs across Europe and maybe beyond. Everton included.

So unless we’re prepared to go in big with fee and wages package Verona and the player will just wait it out. That’s why so much business is done right at the end of a window even though it doesn’t make sense from a footballling perspective
