Omari Benjamin damages knee ligaments — 15 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 15 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Sporting CP tell Everton: Fotis Ioannidis is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Everton make their move for Ibrahim Mbaye

$10.8M on the table at Aston Villa. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

An offer of $6.1M for Jens Hjertø-Dahl

Everton have gone to Hull City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Everton bid $3.4M for Toby Collyer

The offer went to West Bromwich Albion this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Player ratings4 Jan 2027

A defender's goal wins it for Everton — 7.47

1 for Ainsley Maitland-Niles, marked 7.47, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad4 Jan 2027

The step up is real for Braiden Graham

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Jarrad Branthwaite raises the bar for Everton

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Everton heard it as anything else.

Jake O'Brien has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Everton can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Aston Villa bid $29.4M for Thierno Barry

The offer went to Everton this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

A move Diego Costa would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Diego Costa is living that version at Aston Villa, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market3 Aug 2026

Boubacar Kamara raises the bar for Aston Villa

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Aston Villa heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Leon Goretzka stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Leon Goretzka and Aston Villa agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Aston Villa

Boubacar Kamara was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Aston Villa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leon Goretzka is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market3 Aug 2026

Preußen Münster watching Ibrahim Mbaye

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Aston Villa have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Zépiqueno Redmond knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Zépiqueno Redmond trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Experience through the door at Aston Villa

Radamel Falcao arrives at 40 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
