Totally agree. Absolutely bemused by these calls to get rid of Evans when he was our 3rd best cb this season. As a squad player who knows his role and won't cause a fuss, keeping him makes sense.

Even the initial reports said they were hoping for £80m max. They are under pressure to sell for PSL or they'll be hit with an initial 9-point deduction before the season starts, and Branthwaite is their only really viable option to make profit. They might want to sell Onana, but there doesn't...

We're getting linked with a worrying amount of English talent. I don't like this strategy at all.

Don't want Tosin or Chalobah. Don't think either are good enough. I'd much rather pay £50m for Branthwaite if these are the alternatives.

One of the highest rated talents in Brazil. Strange West Ham are being given a free run at him. Interesting to see if he'll be an immediate starter.

I'm pretty sure Ruud specifically praised Branthwaite's ability on the ball at PSV. I wouldn't read much into his progressive passing under Dyche. Dyche specifically instructs his defenders to avoid risk. If they were constantly making risky passes, they'd be getting an earful. Lenny Yoro's...

Everton are never getting £80m so they might as well accept their 9-point deduction now. No team is paying more than £60m and tbh I doubt any club will even go as high as that. We seem to be the club with the most interest. They only have a month to hold their bluff. If they refuse to go down to...

I'd only say Yoro and Scalvini are clearly better out of those. Silva and Branthwaite would be the next tier imo. I think you're underrating Branthwaite a lot tbh, as the bottom half of the list being starters for us certainly wouldn't make me feel very comfortable.

I just can't see it. Everything points to him wanting to join Madrid. If they can't get it done this season, I expect he would simply run down his contract and go there on a free next year. Good that we're interested in him, but I doubt it's realistic.

Amazing how failure is rewarded so frequently at the moment

This feels like a luxury signing for the most unluxurious of teams. We need cbs, fbs, mids and a striker far more urgently and we seem to be working on a very tight budget.

If he's actually available for £40m it's an absolute no brainer. However I suspect £50-55m is more likely the minimum Everton would sell for even with the threat of a 9 point deduction. I think he's great and being 2 footed would mean he could play on either the left or right depending on who's...

We have to get the managerial decision correct. We should be positioning ourselves to legitimately challenge in 2026

Interested to see how Napoli do under Conte

I liked what I saw of him in the Prem before they were relegated. Still only 20.
