Everton fans will want to forget about their inconsistent 2015-16 campaign. Roberto Martinez was a nice guy but he simply couldn’t cut it at the top level and was rightfully sacked towards the end of the season. Despite his reasonable win percentage, the former Wigan Athletic boss’ downfall was his insistence on prioritising performance over
So, Koeman has made the move to become the new Everton manager. The news has seemingly been received positively by the Toffees faithful after a somewhat nightmarish 2015/16 season with Martinez at the helm. With a compensation packet of roughly the £3.5 million mark, along with the compensation fees to be agreed for the backroom
One key position that Manchester United need to reinforce ahead of the 2016/17 season is a centre-back. Chris Smalling established himself as first-choice for both club and country after a stellar season, but questions still remain over the identity of his partner. Daley Blind filled the gap and played well under van Gaal, but he
The Roberto Martinez era at Everton was one that promised so much with a talented squad and some of English football’s brightest young talents enjoying a fine first season under the likeable Spaniard. However ultimately it was a reign that regressed with every passing year and delivered precious little so it was no surprise when
What do Harry Kane and Riyad Mahrez have in common? And how about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo? Well all of them are seasoned goal scorers, although two are human while the other two are extra-terrestrial. The point is everyone loves a player who can score goals. That is why we watch the game; that
It was perhaps unfortunate in the end. Unfortunate that Romelu Lukaku presented David De Gea with the simple task of saving his penalty, or that Tom Cleverley wasted his glorious chance by blazing over, or that Anthony Martial gleefully dashed through to score in the 93rd minute. Everton’s loss to Manchester United in Saturday’s FA
New Everton signing Oumar Niasse, who arrived from Lokomotiv Moscow in a £13.5 million deal in the winter transfer window, will be looking to make an impact at Goodison Park for the remainder of the season. Niasse has yet to make a start for the Toffees, coming off the bench against Aston Villa and West
Ramiro Funes Mori signed for Everton in a fee in the region of £9.5 million from River Plate in September. The Argentina international has slotted into the Toffees’ back-four with real aplomb, and is starting to enjoy his life in Merseyside. In truth, despite earning five caps for the Argentine national side, Funes Mori was

Throughout the transfer window, Saido Berahino and John Stones were heavily sought-after by Tottenham and Chelsea respectively. This huge in their services propelled both players to reportedly hand in transfer requests that were rejected by their clubs. As you may have anticipated, because of the interest in their services from major European sides, huge price-tags
Everton put in their most complete away performance under Roberto Martinez to return from a potentially troublesome trip to Southampton with three points and a quite surreal level of optimism given early season grumblings. The 3-0 win came courtesy of a Romelu Lukaku first-half, counter-attacking brace, before Ross Barkley capped an excellent display with a
Roberto Martinez’s troubled second year at Everton bore the Toffees’ worst league campaign for 11 years and poorest domestic cup showing ever. An 11th-place finish and two immediate exits dauntingly undermined an impressive debut season. The drastic response that might reasonably be expected hasn’t happened. Much the opposite in fact. Everton have lost a few
If you are a dedicated follower of the Premier League, you will have seen that the last few days the news has been dominated with Chelsea’s interest for John Stones leading to a war of words between managers Roberto Martinez and Jose Mourinho. Would it work for Chelsea, though? Should Everton let him go for
It has happened. The long awaited return of Gerard Deulofeu was announced hours ago by all parties involved. And I can tell you, Everton fans could not be happier. The rumours have been going on longer than neutral fans would think, every transfer window the same story. The same sources claiming that Everton’s adopted son
Perhaps it shouldn’t have been a surprise that Aaron Lennon appeared glum as he posed for photographs with the Everton shirt he will be wearing for the rest of the season after his deadline day loan move. Everton sit twelfth in the table as they meander through a troubled campaign, boasting just 2 wins from
Formation: 4-3-1-2 GK: Petr Čech He may no longer be the Chelsea’s first choice, but let’s face it, there aren’t many teams in the world whose starting XI wouldn’t include Čech if they had the choice. With his height and agility, Čech has made hardly any mistakes whatsoever in his ten years in the
Romelu Lukaku’s departure from Chelsea leaves this fan with mixed feelings. It seems like more than 3 and a half years ago that most of us including me first heard about Romelu Lukaku, an exciting young talent at Anderlecht. He was scoring for fun, and his age brought him somewhere near the level of excitement
It was almost a mini English raid on Spartak Moscow this winter. But while Kim Kallstrom’s switch to Arsenal has been laughed at rather than praised, the move of Irish winger Aiden McGeady to Everton is something which has only been welcomed. For a number of years McGeady has been fancied to be snapped up
