Tyrique George set to join Everton on loan from Chelsea

Harry Wilson would have been a better option.

But if this deal happens,good luck to the lad

Wilson would be great but TG is a bit faster and might add some much needed speed.

We put in a bid for Harry Wilson,but Fulham knocked us back

 Posted

George actually is fast, not just rumoured to be, he is actually fast.

Chelsea fans seem gutted to see him getting moved on so that tells you he has something worth having?

I’d love Harry Wilson but we’ve probably left it too late in the day now, perhaps Moyes sees this as a better cheaper and marginally younger option this summer than Jack Grealish?

A good deal for a young fast winger, could we also bring in a right back, three years waiting now, and thankfully it looks like Harrison is staying.

I am trying to remember a player with genuine speed David signed for us in his first stint as our manager?

 Posted

Royston Drente John.

He was lightening fast getting to the ale house bar Paul 🙂

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
13:57:57

Kevin Miralles, Andy Johnson and Marcus Bent were all quick.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
14:25:32

I think the fastest player that David Moyes signed was Sylvain Distin. He had great recovery pace in his prime.

Ben Godfrey, signed under Ancelotti, I believe, was also pacy, but alas, a very limited footballer.

Tyrique George sounds exciting- when we see him on the last day of the season with Everton safe and 5 minutes to play! 😉

Very talented kid and probably more ready for a starting spot than Dibling.

More than a little surprised that Chelsea are happy to include a sell-on clause.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
14:54:17

Can he play right back?

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
15:31:11

Fast players signed by Moyes?

Johnson
Beckford
Bent
Mirallas
Drenthe
Distin
Baines
Pienaar
Jagielka
Yakubu

Cahill was no slouch, Arteta too.

Lescott was pacy by centre-back standards. Oviedo wasn’t slow.

Coleman?

Moyes didn’t sign pace? Bollocks. Did we consistently have pace throughout the team? That’s a different question…

Getting this lad in really puts the pressure on Dibling.

As mentioned, Mr George appears to be ready to go straight in if required. Hopefully this loan will give Dibling a good kick up the arse, which he definitely needs.

Crystal Palace are showing late interest in a move for Everton winger Dwight McNeil.

McNeil has found himself out of favour at Hill Dickinson Stadium and Palace are working on a deal to sign the attacker.

The 26-year-old has one assist in 14 Premier League appearances this season and Everton value him at about £20M.

A way out for both parties as McNeil’s race is run at Everton. Value, we should except round £10M to £12M. By by, Dwight, how you ended up at Goodison after a season with no goals, no assists and your team relegated is a true mystery.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
16:09:09

McNeil struggling this season and would probably benefit from a move away, but he made very valuable contributions to our survival before he was beset by personal problems.

If he does go to Palace, he would go with my very best wishes/

I’m sure I misspelt by by, is it bye bye? Oh well, who gives a fuck?

By bye, Dwite, by bye.😁

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
16:21:32

I’d have no hard feeling towards McNeil, why would we?

He arrived in 2022 and he was a decent player for where we were at back then and probably excelled as a Dyche player in 2023-24.

We’ve outgrown this type of player now and same for players like Vitaly Mykolenko, solid enough player during a dark spell for our club but we need to progress to the next level now.

 Posted

Agree Darren, 20.

TFG and their crack recruitment team with 155 minutes to go have again failed to address our glaring needs. Full backs and a striker. Another young winger. Great. It’s down the list and how many minutes will he get?

There seems to be more on outgoing than incoming, and that’s deeply worrying with a thin squad. 20 million for McNeil? Well, to cancel the money we might spend on George so that Saint Daniel the Absent will have spent fuck all on us. Unlike Roma, where he actually goes to matches.

No usual Deadline Day LF. Not that many posts really. Sympton and symbol of a grey day.

@Paul #23

He can play as a striker as well, though I think he will play left wing. Whilst his end product in regards to assists isn’t up to Grealish’s standards, he will run at players, and cause havoc in the area and his shot is probably a lot better that Jack’s.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
17:15:54

All good to hear Izzy, thanks, but 1. He hasn’t signed yet, and 2. If this goes through, as it seems it will, how many minutes will he get?

Your good news is welcome Izzy, but it doesn’t help with right-back and striker.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
17:28:29

Izzy – add to that – Barry is now going to get a lot more service at pace from the left and Branthwaite will have a willing runner to deliver defence/splitting thread passes to. If it goes to plan we could be looking at a proper counterattacking Everton. “If”.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
17:34:51

Good loan this, would have loved a RB though.

Is it too optimistic to think they have a quality target or targets that they just can’t get in January?

Know their was an immediate need with grealish getting injured, but we’ve been in need of full backs for years, Rafa was the last manager that tried to solve it, buying Patterson & myko, no ones bothered since !

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
17:39:36

If McNeil goes to Crystal Palace, I bet that he scores a sickening last minute screamer against us end our European hopes.

 Posted

David W, hope you are stating fact and not inserting your tongue in Rafa’s Anal Cleavage ! 🙂

 Posted

David, we did table an offer for Tete last summer, and reportedly one for Emil Holm of Bologna last week, so there appears to be at least some kind of effort there on fullbacks.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
18:06:29

Well medical complete so one over the line bar the shouting. Been a quiet day all round really.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
18:10:20

Dear God are we still going on about Tete? ‘Reportedly’?. ‘Reportedly’ we offered some money and Patterson for Holm who ‘reportedly’ is on his way to Juventus. We really tried there if in fact we did. ‘Reportedly’ Juve have a €15 million buy option if there is any truth in this. Fact, we have not got a new right-back.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
18:23:30

If people mention things that “reportedly” happened in the past or are “reportedly” going to happen in the future become the target of wrath, perhaps a footy website not the place to be.

The whole modern game lives on gossip, rumour and hopes and fears and if we now face fact checkers, then the fun will just vanish..

Paul at 34. Remember, most of Everton’s recruitment staff think the deadline is still 11pm.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
18:53:16

The fun goes when you look at the position our team had got themselves into at the end of 2025, and you think to yourself that we could have had a real chance of punching above our weight, for the first time since Moyes, was last here, especially with players returning from either the AFCON or injury, until it became clear that the powers that be, just hadn’t had the same vision.

Mcneil gone hay lads, he’s one less we can moan about on a Saturday

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
19:16:32

Jim 22, How have we outgrown players like McNeil or mykolenko?

We can’t even attract prem ready fullbacks and have 2 strikers that no other prem team would entertain.

Tfg haven’t exactly splashed the cash.

So loans and out of contracts players are the new Everton.

Meanwhile Palace and Fulham outspend us.

Pretty underwhelming all round.

Tony 38.

If DM plays with a will to win, and injurys go are way, we can still kick on. The league is poor. I feel DM sends them out not to get beat. Leeds, Brighton for example.

 Posted

19:38:59

Rob, do you envy Palace spending £68m on Strand Larson and McNeil?

 Posted
02/02/2026 at

We can ‘kick on’ Les (41) but ‘DM sends them out not to get beat’?

Seamus getting fit will be like a new signing 😂

 Posted

In this season of consolidation (I know..I know), better no signing that cluttering up the roster with more Dibblings and Betos !

The summer window -with statutory scope to spend should be much more exciting. It better be !

What’s the secret regarding the price of the option to buy????

Must be well over the top?

Nothing at all on the club site about George. Mind you, there’s no teary farewell to McNeil either.

Les 41 + Paul 43

If DM plays to win our games in future. I think you will see an almighty shift from the fan base as Everyone will stand right behind him Even when he loses.

The ball is in his court

I hear Palace are trying to back out of the deal.

They thought they were buying Danny o’Neill.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at

And we’ve seen that happen in flashes this season Darren. I’m still having flashbacks about four centre-backs in defence mate.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
20:05:46

Mike G 30. Come on Mike the only full back we’ve signed since myko & Patterson is Ashley young ( not young) who was supposedly to cover, but ended up playing every game at 39.

I get we’ve probably tried to get a few and hast worked for whatever reason, but it should now be a priority to solve RB long term, and LB competition.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at

Darren 51

Total agree. That’s what I was trying to say. Kick on if he goes positive.

 Posted
02/02/2026 at
20:15:52

Paul 43

If DM goes more positive and stops being negative, why carnt they kick on. Win more.

Othe posts got the meaning. You ok.

Have we signed a fucking full back?

I thought it was a done deal, but apparently bbc saying palace taking him on loan.

With an obligation to buy Andy.

Does anyone know what the ‘ option to buy figure is on T G ‘ ? If a £22M deal was almost agreed with Fulham it can’t be that much difference surely !

Paul 58.

Correct. And I do hope they take it.

 Posted

Might be an issue if the obligation is based on appearances, minutes, and God forbid, performances.

He hasn’t gone yet.

Pleased we got George over the line as it will give us pace and so many more options being able to use either flank.

As for O’Neil, maybe despite the clerical error there is a verbal agreement to resurrect in the summer.

As for the ongoing saga at full back, I will be fascinated to see who eventually ends up playing left or right back ? and if the Managers says, this is the player we wanted but we had to wait. I hope its worth the wait ?
