Everton fans are all saying the same thing about Ademola Lookman after what the former Toffees winger did last night. The Toffees signed the winger as a teenager from Charlton Athletic, in a hugely risky £11m move. However, at the time when the club were spending freely under Farhad Moshiri’s leadership, this was but a drop in the ocean. Especially given the talent he supposedly boasted, which failed to come to fruition under the fractured and ever-changing leadership at Goodison Park. Eventually moving to RB Leipzig, before returning to England briefly on loan with Leicester City and Fulham, ...

Everton’s Player of the Season awards have severely regressed in recent years, with the club seemingly petrified to celebrate the mediocrity they have put out over the last few seasons. Relegation battles have fast become the norm on Merseyside, and as such there have seldom been many standout players anyway. A lack of form, confidence and quality has all combined to see them finish 16th and 17th respectively, with only Sean Dyche’s unwavering leadership enough to finally alter that for the better this campaign. However, despite a much-improved year, in which they would have finished an admira...

Everton owe a great debt of gratitude to a number of key figures, who despite immeasurably hardships have stuck with the club through the toughest of times. Whether it be outstanding players or the management team, to take on a challenge as big as this, and remain unfazed, is a testament not only to their quality, but also to their character. This season saw them ease to safety by a whopping 14 points, which would have been 22 had the Premier League not suddenly started enforcing PSR with random severity. The hope is that they can continue to replicate that for a few years, or at least until t...

Everton remain poised to endure a trying upcoming few months, but that will not stop the management team from trying to refresh the squad. After all, despite what was ultimately a very positive campaign, Sean Dyche will not want his team to stand still. Especially given at times relegation still remained a very real threat, even if they did avoid it by a whopping 14 points, or 22 if you remove the Premier League’s deduction. They deserve remarkable credit for showing such spirit, but by adding another layer of quality, the Toffees could actually be a real dark horse for success next campaign. ...

Everton will have to move mountains to gather what little funds they can this summer in order to spend. And whilst Kevin Thelwell might have suggested that major sales will be needed, he will be quietly hoping that he can instead shift a bit of the deadwood and retain the core of this squad which has achieved remarkable things this campaign. It seems like a dream just to be able to keep ahold of these prized assets, which marks a sad indictment of their failures. However, that’s not to suggest that there are no expendable and sellable players from whom the club could profit. Neal Maupay failed...

The term ‘legend’ is openly thrown around with remarkable ease nowadays, but few at Everton have ever deserved it more than the late great Howard Kendall. Having spent three stints with the Toffees, his first the far more successful, he led this club to true greatness and the pinnacle of European football. This culminated in their 1984-85 campaign, where they were just one win in the FA Cup final away from completing the first treble in English football history. He is a legend in every sense of the word, having featured heavily for Everton as a player and returning later as a manager. This was...

Everton have made some high-profile transfer errors over the years, but under Kevin Thelwell, they have become far rarer. After all, he is not quite blessed with the same never-ending riches as those who came before him, instead being forced to clean up their financial mess. But that’s not to suggest that his tenure has been completely flawless thus far, with one or two disappointments slipping through the net. Adam Lallana did not like seeing Neal Maupay leaveSpeaking to Brighton and Hove Albion’s official YouTube channel, the former Liverpool midfielder opened up on everything from his futur...

Everton’s summer is unlikely to be a particularly pleasant one, but there will remain some shreds of positivity for fans to hold on to. After all, Kevin Thelwell has at least earned some degree of respect for his work in negotiating great prices for their outbound assets, and also paying as little as possible upfront for those they have brought in. So, if they are to sell this transfer window, there is faith that the replacement acquired will do the job well. However, Jarrad Branthwaite’s potential exit would be tough to take, given just how important the youngster has become of late, even rec...

Everton already seem to be compiling a list of summer transfer targets, despite their well-documented financial limitations. Kevin Thelwell has been forced to admit that their dire position makes them susceptible to bids from rivals, however that will not stop him from wading into the market and seeking to come out with a bargain or two. And, having already worked well last summer to welcome some shrewd signings with delayed permanent fees, as well as loan deals too, his methods are clear. So, it will be interesting to see how the Toffees tackle the task of tempting Florentino Luis from Benfic...

Everton actually enjoyed quite a comfortable end to the season, despite threatening to become embroiled in a relegation scrap on a few occasions. However, that sudden drop in the Premier League table was seldom born from their own poor form, despite enduring their worst-ever winless run mid-season, but instead from the two separate points deductions which tossed them back down into the mire. When others might have wilted, Sean Dyche instead managed to provoke a reaction from his squad, and a whole host of heroes stood up. Some introduced themselves to Goodison Park for the first time, but othe...
