Join Ian Croll, Chris Beesley, and Gavin Buckland as they unpack a busy agenda surrounding Everton Football Club. The summer break is officially over, and the hard work begins today as senior players return to Finch Farm for their initial pre-season testing and assessments.

The guys also dive into the transfer mill to dissect the reports linking 20-year-old winger Tyler Dibling with a move to German side RB Leipzig—less than a year after his high-profile £35 million move from Southampton. Plus, there is a bizarre update on Goodison Park's upcoming schedule, as the historic stadium prepares to host a Carabao Cup tie between Preston North End and Huddersfield Town.

Toffee Thursday - Worse Than the Azteca: Making Everton Horrible Again

The Blue Room — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 09:00:00 GMT

England's players compared the hostility outside their Mexico City hotel to a night at Everton — and we're taking that as a compliment.

Les and Dave dig into how we actually build that reputation on purpose: the new walk-up, the pre-match playlist, the players who can set a tone early instead of killing it stone dead.

Then it's onto the new home kit — Stake shuffled to the sleeve, CMC Markets now front and centre in a deal worth £25–30m a year. Is it just gambling in a slightly nicer suit, or a genuinely different beast? Two cheeks of the same arse, or a real step forward for the club?

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Join Ian Croll and Connor O’Neill as they break down a massive week of transfer business at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Everton securing two major young talents on permanent deals.

📋 On The Agenda:

Tyrique George is a Blue! The dynamic 20-year-old winger officially completes a permanent move from Chelsea on a four-year deal following his loan spell. The lads dive into the hefty reported fee—is it a coup for one of England's brightest prospects, or a risk given his limited minutes last term?

Merlin Röhl Formally Activated: The German midfielder's permanent switch from Bundesliga side SC Freiburg is officially processed. After making 17 appearances on loan last season, what does the future hold for the 24-year-old in a competitive engine room?

The Big Selection Dilemma: Where do both players actually fit into the starting lineup under David Moyes? Given their limited game time last season, are these price tags a major gamble, and what are the realistic expectations for them this year?

Who is Next? With early business ticking along nicely, the attention turns to the next priority. The lads discuss who they want to see come through the doors next—with the right-back position sitting right at the very top of the summer wishlist.

💬 Have your say in the comments below Are George and Röhl gambles, or smart business for the future? Who should be Everton's number one target at right-back?

Good Times - Number 40 (1996/97)

The Blue Room — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 23:00:00 GMT

This is 40, and it's not long into this landmark episode before Everton's dubious title credentials are all dead.
Joe Royle always enjoyed a Derby win as manager, but the Barmby-inspired smash and grab at the Baseball Ground will be the Toffees' last away league win for over a year, and Royle's final one as gaffer.
Come March, Joe, or "Moosehead" as he's been affectionately named by a couple of Kev's rogue uncles, is on the march and Peter Johnson faces a Sophie's choice of giving the caretaker role to prankster Dave Watson or the potty mouthed Neville Southall.
They said no to Flo so Joe chose to go.
Not many wins in Part 2 then (not for Everton anyway) but still plenty of excitement - a player/manager in charge, a fight in the Goodison derby, a star player who may or may not be in debt to the Russian mafia. Let the Good Times roll.

Following Steve Clarke's departure after Scotland’s exit from the World Cup, the bookies have officially installed Everton manager David Moyes as one of the clear frontrunners to take over the Scotland National Team job.

Host Ian Croll is joined by Paul Wheelock and Connor O’Neill to break down what this means for the Toffees.

The lads discuss:

The Bookies' Odds: Is there real substance to the Scotland links, or is this just standard speculation?

Hayden Hackney Hold Up? The £25m Tyrique George Decision! Iroegbunam’s Future in Doubt?

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!

Good Times - Number 39: 1996/97 (Part 1)

The Blue Room — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:44:00 GMT

We've had enough of the Good Times bobble hat telling us what to talk about. The Wembley derby will have to wait.
In the summer of 1996, Everton may not have been Cup holders anymore (the loveables having let the city down and sent the trophy back to Manchester), but were now being touted as outsiders for an even bigger pot - their first league title in 9 (NINE) years.
Gary Speed looked like just the missing piece of Joe Royle's jigsaw, a marauding all-round midfielder (which was the style at the time), and a lifelong Evertonian to boot. Someone that would undoubtedly spend his many remaining years at the club he loved.
After a dream first day of the season, August optimism gives way for a bumpy autumn then, naturally. But at least we don't go out of the League Cup to York.
