π¨ Everton's Transfer Gamble Backfiring: Grealish Return, Ndiaye Exit Looming?
4 August 2026, 15:03
π THE FULL PICTURE:
Everton's recruitment model is still a work in progress, and that's putting it nicely. Under Moshiri, eight players signed for at least Β£20M walked away for free. Now the Friedkin Group's youth-heavy summer haul hasn't clicked. Tyler Dibling cost Β£35M but started just six matches. Aznou can't sniff the Premier League. Striker Barry wins aerial duels but can't finish. Meanwhile, Grealish is set to re-sign on loan at Β£200K a week while healing a stress fracture, and Ndiaye's linked to Saudi Arabia. Osman, who Moyes debuted in 2003, wants Grealish back but only at the right price, and he'd hate to lose Ndiaye unless reinvestment makes sense.
π MY TAKE:
This is wild, dude. Everton's trying to build a smart model but keeps falling into the same trap, overpaying for shiny names and waiting forever on youth. Grealish at 200K a week? That's a rental with a big bill. And losing Ndiaye would sting, but if the price lets them buy two or three solid pieces, maybe that's the harsh reality. Moyes has work to do, that's for sure. Let's go, Toffees, figure it out.
