Summer Transfer Window 2026

[Free Agent]

While we’re arguing whether we should learn from Brighton or Brentford, Brighton have just signed another player


I don’t know if he’s any good like but he cant be any worse than some of the ones we (re-)signed so far

Whatever happened to the days when other club chairmen would think “what would Everton do?”

Lol, one of the funniest things he ever said

That typified him, I think in his head he believed it.

It was probably number 1 on the Kenwright list of 'things that never happened'.

Yes sadly, but they both know/ knew what they were doing, and why.

Saying, saying... not doing.

Against us? Even the corner flags looked good against us that game.

No, just in general.

From Football Insider: Everton are "exploring" the possibility of signing Juventus striker Lois Openda on a loan-to-buy deal, sources have told Football Insider.
The Italian giants are desperate to offload the Belgian, and it is understood that the Toffees have the money to make a deal happen this summer. Juventus were forced into signing Openda for £40million as part of their agreement with RB Leipzig, but they are expecting to have to take a loss on him now.

Only played 24 times for Juve last season. 1 goal 0 assists. Had much better numbers while at Leipzig.

Another sub 6 foot striker linked (along with Taty)... Just don't see how someone of that height works in a Moyes system tbh.

Maybe the fact we wouldn't have to pay for him is appealing, but I would worry about watching him try out jump massive CBs as the ball is endlessly pumped at his head.

Sounds perfect:

Loïs Openda is an explosive, transition-focused striker, but his effectiveness relies heavily on open spaces. His primary weaknesses include a lack of aerial dominance, inconsistent passing in tight spaces, and occasional offside awareness issues when playing against deep defensive blocks.

A breakdown of his tactical and technical weaknesses reveals the following:
1. Physical and Aerial Limitations
Aerial Duels: At roughly 1.75m (5'9"), Openda is not a traditional target man. He struggles physically against tall, imposing center-backs in set-piece situations and long-ball distributions.
Back-to-Goal Play: He is less effective when asked to hold up the ball with his back to the goal under heavy pressure.

2. Playmaking and Technical Profile
Passing Accuracy: His passing stats and link-up play are often rated as weak. He can be prone to turnovers when attempting intricate combinations in congested areas.
Tight Spaces: Openda thrives when he can face forward and run into open channels. In matches where opponents sit deep in a "low block" and deny him space behind the backline, his overall influence on the game often drops significantly.

3. Tactical and Positional Awareness
Offside Awareness: Because he relies so heavily on his blistering pace and playing on the shoulder of the last defender, he can occasionally get caught offside.
Defensive Contribution & System Fit: He is known for a good work rate, but adapting to highly structured or methodical tactical systems—such as those often favored in Serie A—has proven challenging, as his profile is heavily geared toward counter-attacking.

Was the next big thing.

Buy the dip imo. Bit like cunha a few years ago.

I agree with the sentiment. But we're probably the worst club going in terms of patience so it would be a terrible idea.
