2020-01-27 18:21#265819 ScottT : The form since you joined the club has been formidable. It's an extremely encouraging sign as to what the future holds.

Most definitely. I'm really optimistic about our top 4 chances

24th May



Romano Schmid to join Galatasaray for 22.5m

25th May



Leandro Paredes to sign for Boca Juniors for a fee of 36m

27th May



Jordan Torunarigha to join Schalke for a fee of 30m



Jan Hurtado to join Basel for a fee of 14.25m

29th May



Left-back Kingsley Etim agrees to join from Tottenham for an initial 40m fee. This guy could honestly be our next Leighton Baines in my opinion once he improves his crossing.

1st June



Another potential star of the future, midfielder Harrison Boardley agrees to join us from Chelsea for an initial 30m fee



Krystian Bielik to join Basel for a fee of 13.5m

5th June



Midfielder Mathias Timmermans to join from Anderlecht for a fee of 20m

9th June



Striker Exequiel Avila joins from Boca Juniors for a fee of 6.75m. That'll be an absolute steal if he reaches his potential

10th June



Winger Ruben Abreu joins from Porto for an initial fee of 30m. I'm excited to see him and Isaac Pereira battle for a place in the first team

15th June



Defender Karl Collier joins from Southampton for 57m. Admittedly, Karl wasn't my first choice but I felt like we needed a bit of quality in defence so I splashed out a bit. I'm very happy with the way the squad is looking at the moment.

22nd June



Mircea Prescura joins Brentford for a fee of 300k

25th June



Harry Wilson joins Burnley for a fee of 20m

26th July

2nd August

Friendly - Everton 2-2 Monaco

7th August



Fraser Hornby joins Wolves for a fee of 26m



Winger Theo Lebrun joins from Nantes for 65m. The kid has a lot of potential, and better yet, is ready for first-team football.

The Squad

Here's what we've been able to build. I believe this is a squad who can carry us forward for many years to come.



Goalkeepers

Manuel Gasparini
Tomas

Defenders

Jean-Luc Vila
Pedro Scow
Kingsley Etim
Luke Shaw
Ben White
Karl Collier
Enrico Martelli
Nohan Kenneh

Midfielders

Isaac Pereira
Ruben Abreu
Theo Lebrun
Johnny Roche
Albert Sambi Lokonga
Mathias Timmermans
Patrick Crooks
Harrison Boardley

Attackers

Troy Parrott
Maxi Gomez
Ismael Cebolla
Exequiel Avila

Lebrun looks an absolute star. Iwobi at Real Madrid now though... Incredible stuff. Can't say he hasn't merited it given his performances last season.

A busy, busy summer with a lot of big transactions. Looks a solid squad that you've built.

2020-01-29 21:40#265993 Jack : A busy, busy summer with a lot of big transactions. Looks a solid squad that you've built.

I certainly think it's top 4 worthy at the very least!

We couldn't have asked for a better start to the season, winning by five goals to nil away at Huddersfield. Maxi Gomez was on fire, scoring four. The result was particularly pleasing because Huddersfield always seemed to thrash my team when I was Warrington manager. Revenge is sweet.

14th August

Everton to travel to Bradford in the Carabao Cup 2nd round

I must admit, I was nervous when we went a goal down but the lads responded brilliantly, especially Troy Parrott who put his former club to the sword, scoring twice.

We left it late but we eventually got the winning goals that our performance deserved. Throughout the game, we were the better team so it would have been a travesty had we not won it.

I made a lot of changes to the team for our Carabao Cup game at Bradford, giving some players a chance to shine. However, not many did and we were lucky to go through after going down to ten men.

28th August

Everton to host Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup 3rd round

A very disappointing result coupled with an equally disappointing performance. We never really turned up at Old Trafford and the home side eased to victory. We need a big response after the international break.

We were poor in the first half, but after a rollicking, the lads turned it on for the second half and eased to a 3-0 win over Aston Villa.

We weren't really at the races against Fulham but we managed to grind out a good 2-0 win. If you want to win anything in football then you need to win ugly when you're not playing well and that's what we did.

Safely into the next round with a dominant win over Bournemouth. I was tempted to play a changed side but I'm targeting the Carabao Cup as a competition we can win to end the trophy drought.

27th September

Left-back Kingsley Etim is ruled out for 3-4 weeks with a twisted ankle. That's both our left-backs out now!!

Troy Parrott is on fire! A hat-trick for him means he's got seven goals in September! He's looking like a bargain buy atm. His hat-trick helped us to an easy win against Brighton, though we did leave it late to take control of the game.

Disaster!! Luke Shaw is ruled out for 4-5 weeks with a calf strain

A very impressive start to the season, even with the loss against United. Troy Parrott is in absolutely terrific form!

You had an incredible adventure with Warrington. Now you're at the club you love, doing bits in your first full season. Good luck for the future with them.

Troy Parrot is a machine! It's definitely not the end of the Warrington adventure though, I'll be back

He's a monster! How was he only 30m? Troy Parrott scored another FOUR goals as we absolutely thrashed Stoke at Goodison Park. I almost felt sorry for them at the end.

We had to really work hard for this one. Southampton played very well and tested us throughout the game so I'm delighted that we were able to grind out the win.


Click here for Match Stats

An absolutely dominant performance by the lads! I think West Ham will be happy that they kept it down to just three in the end because it could have been double figures.

I was a little worried going into this game as going to Villa Park is never easy but the lads showed me that I shouldn't have been worried. We were fantastic and eased into the quarter-finals with a 3-0 win.

My first Merseyside derby as a manager was a pretty cagey affair. However, with 67 minutes gone who else but Troy 'The Goal Machine' Parrott popped up to score the winner to give us our first derby win for 15 years!

Mathias Timmermans out for 3-4 weeks with a calf strain

A fantastic win away at Man City. I didn't think we had a hope of winning but the lads proved me wrong, producing a sensational performance to win by two goals to one.


Click here for Match Stats

Unbelievable! We absolutely decimated Chelsea at Goodison Park and that was with Troy Parrott not finding the net for the first time since August. This time it was Maxi Gomez taking the plaudits after scoring a hat-trick.

We roared out the traps, taking a 2-0 lead inside ten minutes, however, after that, we seemed to switch off and Palace had the better of the majority of the game. Thankfully, we defended extremely well and managed to win by the two goals.

Absolutely incredible stuff. You're scoring goals for fun and maintaining an efficient and tough back-line to break down. You have all the ingredients needed for success, it seems!

We finally lose in the Premier League and it was the most undeserved loss in the history of undeserved losses. They scored with their first shot before being dominated for the 90 minutes, only getting chances when we piled men forward towards the end. The ball would just not go in the net for us!

Phew! We got out of jail there. We dominated the game but for a long time it didn't look like it was going to be our day. Thankfully, we were rescued by two of our substitutes and secured the win to send us through to the semi-finals.

Very much one way traffic this game. The lads played really well and never looked like they were in any danger of dropping points.

This result was never really in doubt, that is until Newcastle got a penalty with 16 minutes to go. Realistically we should have been out of sight by then but we missed some glorious chances. Thankfully for us, Newcastle missed the penalty and we got the 1-0 win.

Karma is a wonderful thing, especially in football. Ross Barkley, formerly of Everton, celebrated in front of the away fans when he equalised, only for us to go on and get a winner. Have a bit of that you gob*****
