UTFT!! Rohl has looked good at RB. He can do a job there.

I always wonder what goes through Nathan Patterson head during all this. He has had start over him:

37yo Seamus Coleman
39yo Ashley Young
Jake OBrien
Jimmy Garner
Ben Godfrey

Who am I missing? Also- the freaking Prime Minister literally asked the club to sort out a new RB.

Pretty good 1H - gave up way too many good looks on goal. But super dangerous in the attacking 3rd.

Nice three points.

Barry with a nice hat trick + assist today. I'll take it.

Keep seeing a lot of noise that Ndiaye is looking to exit before the window closes.. that would suck

I would hate to lose Ndiaye but if we really got 80 mil for him and spun it into an RB upgrade and another year of Grealish I might be ok with it.

I'm nervous about putting eggs in the Grealish basket. I'd rather keep Ndiaye. I am truly excited about our current basket of wingers.

Plus, Grealish staying away would be better for my marriage. My wife seems to like him being on Everton a little to much! Hehe

Same on liking the current stable for the next 3-5 years if we could hold onto Ndiaye... I think Grealish is a short term/expensive bandaid were we to lose Ndiaye. Need a RB for sure.

Also, keep hearing noise on O'Brien exiting... I cannot understand that. He and Branthwaite seem like the perfect duo for the next 4+ years.

she likes effeminate men with man buns?

Idk man I think it's the calves

Well…a point away is a point away. Even though we looked pretty derpy for most of the match.

Nice to pull it back in stoppage though.

What was the Bournemouth defender doing on that corner? Whatever. I'll take it.

And it looks like spurs are the new Everton.

Ndiaye to spurs and Richy coming home?

That's what it's starting to look like

Hate losing Ndiaye but man could we use a striker that can score.

The Athletic reporting it's agreed to in principle (guest link):
Tottenham reach agreement to sign Iliman Ndiaye, sell Richarlison back to Everton

Thanks for that. Nervous we actually only sold him for 60mm like what's being reported, although Richarlison was reported at 35mm and it looks like it's actually only 25mm plus add ons.

Things are moving quick, here's what I think I know:

- Ndiaye to spurs for hopefully well north of 60mm
- Richarlison back home to Everton for 25mm plus add ons
- Tete to us for around 9mm
- Grealish loan in the works, I think I saw we'd cover 90% of wages
- Apparently we just put in an 18mm offer for Balogun and have already agreed to terms with him

Most of this is probably still speculation but seems to be the current rumor mill. Am I missing any?

That is what I have seen as well.. which I think is good for us overall. I thought grealish and Dewsbury hall had good chemistry. Getting a true RB will be good. Richy will probably play winger - I'm guessing? Balogun will probably be a winger/striker.. gives us good depth.

Yeah good forward depth. Haven't had that in years.

I expect Ndiaye and Tim Irogbunam to go before window closes.

Add Beto to that. Going back to Italy and traveling for his medical tomorrow. Legendary goals in the derby. Ran through a couple walls to prove himself. God speed, Beto

Looks like Ndiaye and Balogun deals are close. Grealish may be as well. Richy maybe not? Need to get Tete over the line as well.

Grealish appears to be a done deal per the rumor mill.

Are you also seeing Tim and Beto out? I thought I read done deal but wasn't sure..

A Balogun//Grealish/George/Dewsbury-Hall attack could start to be a genuinely entertaining weekly watch.

Yes I've seen both those are done.

Tim 15mm with 12mm in add ons

Assuming we pull in Tete - I think we undoubtedly got stronger

Looks like Tete may not happen but we're in on Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lyon (formerly of Arsenal).

And the most entertaining way to follow of all this:

The Brits certainly have a hard on for hyphenated last names.

Looks like the Toffees are about to be inundated with new American supporters. I have to hand it to Dan Friedkin and his people. Bringing in a current, hot American name will boost the cub stateside.

Now Everton just needs to set up a warehouse for kits and merchandise stateside. When you go to buy on the Everton website, it tacks on customs duty before you check out and the hit is not insignificant.

Everton on course to sign Balogun, Maitland-Niles and Grealish

Quote:

Everton's medical department has its hands full as the deadline approaches. Folarin Balogun and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are currently having medicals at the club before their proposed moves from Monaco and Lyon respectively. Jack Grealish completed his medical earlier today. The three arrivals - a 40m deal for Balogun, a 4m transfer for Maitland-Niles and another season-long loan for Grealish - remain on track.

Flo failing his physical on deadline day is so Everton

my guess is that it's a play to drive the sale process down. Who knows.
