In today’s episode, Chris Beesley, Joe Thomas, and Gavin Buckland sit down to dissect a massive week of off-field strategy and transfer negotiations as the Blues reshape the squad for the upcoming campaign.
On the Agenda:
The Hayden Hackney Saga Dragging On ⏳ Everton are ready to up their bid closer to Middlesbrough's £20million+ valuation for the Championship Player of the Season. The lads break down the latest news on the 24-year-old midfielder, his desire to move to Merseyside, and how a late hijack attempt from Crystal Palace is forcing the club's hand.
Tim Iroegbunam’s Future in Doubt? 🔁 Tim Iroegbunam has been heavily linked with a move away from the club. With newly promoted Hull City reportedly willing to match Everton’s £20million asking price, the panel debates whether cashing in on the young midfielder makes sense.
Passing on Tyrique George’s £25m Clause ❌ Everton have officially decided not to activate the £25million permanent purchase option for Chelsea loanee Tyrique George. Why did David Moyes barely utilize the 20-year-old winger during his short loan spell, and what is the strategic thinking behind letting the clause expire? We discuss why the club hasn't entirely closed the door on George, and how they might try to negotiate a cheaper deal or a second loan structure.
💬 HAVE YOUR SAY: Should Everton pay the £20m+ fee to finally land Hayden Hackney? And would you sell Tim Iroegbunam to fund other incoming transfers? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!
