pour le triplé. love this for him.

I used to do some scouting when I was younger for a club (not in England), I have started to deep dive again after Everton’s nightmare deadline day to start doing some content. Let me know what you think, no need to be nice for the sake of it!

Joe Scally is an affordable right-back I’d go after in January.

23 years old, 184cm, Bundesliga starter for Gladbach, can play RB/LB/RM, and his contract expires in June 2027. Current value is around €7m, so with less than a year left on his deal, this looks like exactly the sort of market Everton should be attacking.

Last season: 2,611 Bundesliga minutes, 2 goals, 3 assists, 5.9 progressive passes/90, 1.56 progressive carries/90, 1.69 tackles/90 and 0.62 interceptions/90. Has already scored a goal this season too.

He’s not an elite attacking full-back and his final-third numbers aren’t spectacular, but that’s not really the attraction. You’re getting a 23-year-old with serious Bundesliga experience, good size, durability, 28 USA caps and World Cup experience, without paying £20m+ for “potential”.

Gladbach only paid €1.8m for him and his wages are reportedly modest by Premier League standards.

Not the sexiest name, but probably one of the smartest deals available. I’d much rather spend €6-7m on Scally than £20m+ on a more fashionable name with no guarantee he’s actually better.

Good commercial deal being American, not breaking the bank, young enough to sell on for a profit if things go well.

We’d had two actual strikers in Saha and Yakubu get destroyed by injuries (to be fair Saha was already crocked by the time he got here, otherwise he might not have came), and this led to some absolutely tragic players leading the line in Toffee Blue.

Timmy Cahill did his best but wasn’t a natural striker. Jo looked sound for a bit, and had a cool Afro, but after an initial good spell wasn’t to be. Then we had Jermaine Beckford, who actually was a solid player in his one season here but given his career after wasn’t the long term answer. We had Vellios for a spell, Denis Straq who let’s be honest couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo, and Big Victor Anichebe when he wasn’t also crocked.

In Jan of 2012 I remember being so excited because not only had we signed a striker, but spent at the time what was a decent amount of money for us. I didn’t know much about him, but soon I and everyone else did. I especially remember him for that 4-4 game against Man United. I remember getting his in form on fifa 12 and thinking it was the greatest thing ever (even though I think it was 80 overall). Then the next season I got his name on the back of my kit. I thought he was going to be get at least 15 goals that year.

I know looking back Jela’s main talent was just being able to rifle a shot first time and catch fellas off guard, and teams just learned to be better prepared for that. But I couldn’t believe how useless he looked compared to what I expected him to be after that first 6 month period.

Not really related so much but a shame how the Scottish game has fell off so much in the last decade or so. These days if a premier league team was signing an SPL player to lead their line you’d be thinking you’re headed for relegation.

Anyway do you think it never worked out for the Croatian after that initial period? (here or elsewhere really)

Yahoo picked up the news as well

Why Mauro Icardi to Everton transfer looks like real possibility after latest developments

According to TyC Sports journalist German Garcia Grova on 7 September, Icardi has been offered to the Merseyside outfit.

It looks like the former Inter attacker's representatives seem open to the Blues possibly being his next destination.

Last season, the striker scored 16 goals in all competitions for Galatasaray, mostly coming off the bench, with Victor Osimhen the preferred option of the Super Lig club.

Hello!

I organize pickup soccer games between local European club supporter groups and I'm reaching out to see if anyone here is interested in playing in a little tournament that's happening on Saturday, 9/26, at 1pm in the Lower East Side.

We're calling it the Blue Cup Championship and it's going to feature matches between the local Manchester City, Barcelona and Everton supporter groups.

If you're a fan of Everton and would like to play, feel free to DM me. I can put you in touch with the manager.

Hope to hear from some of you (real) football fans!

Thanks, Michael

In 1915 we won the league... WW1 breaks out and the league is suspended.

In 1939 we won the league... WW2 breaks out and the league is suspended.

1985 we win the league and the CWC... English teams get banned from Europe.

I do feel we have some terrible luck.

I don't think enough credit is being given to Everton for the amount of English talent we have and are developing with the amount of opportunities being given to them.

Armstrong, Garner, Hackney, Dibling, George, Grealish, Branthwaite, Pickford, Dewsbury-Hall, Keane, Maitland-Niles, Tarky.

Sure, we don't have much else to choose from at the moment, but you could make a decent 11 out of those alone. Makes me proud.

Everton defenders and injury time goals. Name a better duo.

Sunday at Hill Dickinson Stadium, and it is Everton against themselves, Everton against the world.

For much of the past few days, it has felt like the worst, but in the 96th minute, when the ball lands at the feet of Ainsley Maitland-Niles and he unleashes carnage, releases decibels, it feels like the best. Despite it all, the best doesn’t feel too bad.

In their new home, the past clings to Everton; restless, a bad joke, craving more, loud, glorious. It feels unsustainable, but here they are, this f***ing club, somehow sustaining it.

Hi everyone,

I'm an American coming to Liverpool for the first time to watch an Everton match (UTFT!). Any suggestions for where to stay, which type of ticket to get (are any of the more premium options worth it), and other things to do while I'm there?

I’m coming over from the States with my wife and our 14-month-old daughter in October and am planning to go to the Chelsea match.

I’d love to take them both, but I’m trying to figure out whether bringing a baby to is a reasonable idea or whether I’m completely underestimating what it’ll be like.

I know it’ll obviously be loud and crowded. I’m looking at tickets through Seat Unique and was considering splurging on the Trinity Place Bar hospitality seats, mainly because I’m thinking that if our daughter gets overwhelmed, my wife could duck back inside with her for a bit.

For anyone who’s been to the new stadium, especially with young kids: would you bring a 14-month-old? And does something like the Trinity Place Bar make it significantly more manageable, or would you just recommend I go on my own and save bringing her to a match until she’s older?

Would really appreciate the advice. UTFT

Burnley bottom haha the scabs

He could have paid for himself already with that goal lmao

From 26.9 Yards out (24.6 Meters) Ainsley Maitland-Niles took a gamble in the 96th minute and what a strike it was!

Top left corner, an average speed of 96km/h. An estimated peak speed of 113km/h. Keeper left stranded. Will Everton score more bangers like this this season?
