Just browsing through the above list of players on a lazy Sunday morning who are allegedly linked with Everton this week.
At a glance it contains :
8 strikers
8 midfielders
3 players who can play fullback
1 winger
2 centre backs and
1 goalkeeper
I know a lot on this list are a result of lazy journalism and the club in the past has usually played its cards close to its chest but it does give cause for thought,because in my humble opinion our main needs this summer are for a whole new right side to the team.
This would include:
A right back
Pacy right winger
Possibly a creative right sided midfielder
Striker
Back up centre back
Back up goalkeeper
So I’d say that we are looking at 6 or 7 signings at least across all positions.
In this respect it is difficult to take the above list too seriously given how out of balance it appears.
Although I am aware that some of the players listed generically as strikers or midfielders can play a number of roles, I can only hope that the breakdown of that list is not representative of the clubs priorities as a whole.
Ah well,too much thinking for a Sunday so back to a beer and a snooze!!

Another "Rumour Mill"...
According to an early fixture leak, Everton are reportedly set to open the 2025/26 campaign at home to Crystal Palace.
The weekend of 8 November is set to host a landmark occasion, the first-ever Merseyside Derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The reverse fixture at Analfield is scheduled for the weekend of 21 February
Can't beat speculation and guesswork

Gerry, those leaked fixtures are fake. I didn't scan for detail when I saw them yesterday, but apparently the last day of the season has West Ham playing Leicester (who were relegated last season).
Oh and one team has Forest at home twice!

Sad news to read about Deulofeu‘s injury maybe making him retire at 31. He’s been injured now for over two years.

I work on the river daily and one thing that I constantly notice when sailing past is that there are no Everton badges or insignia or logos on the stadium.
To anyone not familiar with Liverpool, they would have no idea this is Everton's stadium… anybody else noticed this?

Several people have commented on this, Kevin. If you recall, when the plans were first issued, the name of the club was written in big blue letters on the seaside stand.
But it seemed to disappear quite soon after. Maybe it was removed because of planning regs?

If Gueye, Calvert-Lewin, Keane go, how many first team players do we have left.
And I mean those who gave played in the first team, not gems in the under 20+ that are so well hidden no one knows where they are. Just how many signings do we need?

Hope this is wrong. Everton's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock will not have the name "Everton" on it. Instead, it will be known as the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Apparently if the team are playing in Europe then the ground has to use the name of the club because of Uefa regulations. So I would presume that Everton will have to be displayed somewhere on the stadium.

There are only four Premier League clubs who have their name on or incorporated into the name of the stadium.

Chermiti needs a loan imo. Needs games and some goals above academy level.
Obviously need to make sure we get enough players in first.

Brian 20.
So you think wondering if we are actually going to have the club's name on a billion-pound stadium is whinging?
Jeeees, and here is me going to query, if we can squirt our own (named) mayonnaise on the burgers.

As I pointed out, Paul, it's not a common occurrence in the Premier League so I don't see not having it emblazoned on the stadium as a negative.
People on here do love a good whinge, some seem to actually look for reasons to do so.

Just back from Miami, took a baseball game in at “ Loan Depot Park “
You wouldn’t know who’s home it is, perhaps the Marlins just play there.
Far to big a venue for them, gets full when a concert is on !
BMD needs EFC,s name and crests on it.

Jon, tell that to Brian, he says I'm a whinger for inquiring if my club is going to have my club's name on the stadium. After all, Everton do own it, so you would think they would. But I suppose we shouldn't whinge about it.
Amazing the amount of Evertonians happy to call it the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Think most grounds have their clubs crest and also name of the club on the outside of stadium?
We did at GP. Man Utd do. City do. The RS do? None of their grounds have the club name in the title, but they all have specific branding.

Brian, don't take any notice of me, anyone will tell you I am a habitual moaner, and will, at the drop of a naming rights to our stadium, moan and whinge till the cows come home. I've always wondered, shouldn't those Holstein-Friesians cows have the name tattooed on the side.😁

I was worried when it was mentioned that we were interested in a 35 year old full back but I notice that list includes a Benitez, a striker called Ferguson and haven't I heard the name Barry before but to top it off, does Dan Neil post on here?
All click bait, the more things change or Mr K taking the proverbial, no, he wouldn't, would he, or is it all Oral Mangalled?

Paul Kossoff. You a moaner? Never sir. Your posts make me laugh and smile, with your dry humour. And I mean that genuinely.
On the stadium name, I'm not particularly fussed. Financially, it's one of the largest financial stadium rights deal in Europe. So if we have to have their name on the stadium, we are getting paid very well for it.
I agree though, Everton should appear somewhere. Maybe replicate the crests on the Main Stand and Bullens Road at Goodison?
For me, I refer to it as the Everton Stadium. That's what the club were doing pre-sponsorship and what was on the tickets for the event matches.

Paul @30,
If you look at the Everton Way, where all our beautiful names are set in stone, the name 'Everton' is spelt out perfectly.
I agree, a huge sign with our club name should be put up facing the river so everyone knows who we are as they sail past.

I thought it was quite interesting that David Moyes was watching one of the Club World Cup games in the USA.
Certainly there are some very talented South Americans and as their club sides are showing they are a match for the European sides.
