£80k-a-wk ace could miss the derby, some Everton fans react: ‘We’re cursed’, ‘No words’
Everton midfielder Fabian Delph could miss next week’s Merseyside Derby. As per reports, the £80,000-a-week midfielder has picked up a muscle strain and he will return to training next week. It is likely that Delph will be lacking in match fitness even if he recovers in time for the game against Liverpool. It will be interesting to see how Carlo Ancelotti’s team copes in his absence. Everton will be hoping to delay Liverpool’s title party with a good result at home. The Reds need two more wins to clinch a long-awaited title. If City lose their next game, Liverpool might be able to clinch the title at Goodison Park and the Toffees will be desperate to avoid that situation. As for Delph, he has proven to be a good signing for Everton when he has been fit. He will be hoping to get over his in...

Report: Everton favourites to sign €25m-rated target, Toffees readying a bid for player

‘When they thrash us 6-0’, ‘Imagine’ – Some LFC & Everton fans react to 26y/o’s comments
Liverpool will resume Premier League action on June 21 with a trip to Goodison Park to face city rivals Everton, and a win could finally land them the title. Jurgen Klopp’s side are just six points away from being crowned champions having secured 27 wins out of the 29 games played thus far, but three points will be enough to mathematically make them champions-elect if Manchester City lose to Arsenal on June 17. Liverpool would definitely love to win the title at Goodison Park, but Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford believes the Toffees can stop them and hand them their second league loss of the campaign. “We want to win every game we play and any sort of derby match is massive for the fans and for players,” the England international told Sky Sports News. “We want to show how good we c...

I think he ticks all of those boxes. “They are yet to replace Idrissa Gueye but they do have Gomes coming back to full fitness from injury as well. “But there will not be a massive influx of new players coming into football clubs whenever this transfer window happ...

Report: Tottenham to engage in a bidding war to sign 135-cap Int’l Everton want
Tottenham are keen on signing the Inter Milan defender Diego Godin this summer. As per Calciomercato (via Express), the Londoners are willing to enter a bidding war for the experienced center-back. The report adds that Everton are looking to sign the 135-cap Uruguayan international as well. Despite his age, Godin is a quality defender who can improve Spurs a lot in the short term. He could partner Alderweireld for one season or play as a backup. His experience and quality could prove to be invaluable for Jose Mourinho’s side. With Jan Vertonghen expected to leave, Spurs need someone to fill that void. Godin is a top class defender and he would be the ideal alternative.
