David Moyes spoke earnestly of his delight in returning to the Goodison Park helm, nearly 12 years after leaving to take the reins at Manchester United.
The 61-year-old had enjoyed an 11-year spell at Everton, reaching the Champions League qualifying rounds in 2005 and recording nine top-eight finishes in the Premier League.
David Moyes as Everton manager
Sean Dyche deserves credit for leading Everton through a tumultuous time, comfortably avoiding relegation last season despite the club being hit with an eight-point deduction for PSR breaches. But he took Everton as far as he could.
Moyes is back on a two-and-a-half-year deal and has been tasked with restoring integrity and focus, with dysfunction ruling supreme over the past however many interminable years.
It’s never quite been the same. For old – and, to be fair, new – time’s sake, let’s have a look a the lay of the land when he last led the Toffees out on the Premier League turf.
Moyes' best Everton XI from first spell
It’s been a long time since Moyes kept Everton solid and comparatively successful in the Premier League. Fans will be itching to see whether he can repeat the feat now that he has been anointed once more, but based on his previous squad-sculpting at the club, there’s just cause for optimism.
Moyes’ Best Everton XI (01 – 13)
GK – Tim Howard
RB – Tony Hibbert
CB – Phil Jagielka
CB – Joleon Lescott
LB – Leighton Baines
CM – Marouane Fellaini
CM – Thomas Gravesen
RM – Mikel Arteta
AM – Tim Cahill
LM – Steven Pienaar
CF – Wayne Rooney
Football FanCast’s opinion
There are some iconic names in there. Tim Howard is one of the best goalkeepers in Everton’s modern history, and Leighton Baines is probably their finest left-back ever. Tony Hibbert just pips Seamus Coleman at right-back, though the Irishman is unquestionably one of Everton’s shrewdest signings at just £60k.
How could we exclude Marouane Fellaini? Tomas Soucek was something of a retelling over in east London, and Moyes will be keen on landing a monstrous new midfielder now that he’s back on Merseyside.
Wayne Rooney only scored 17 goals across 77 appearances for the Scotland tactician, but it was indeed Moyes who birthed one of England’s greatest-ever players onto the professional scene.
Tim Cahill and Steven Pienaar and many, many more besides who failed to quite make the 11-man cut. There are so many fond memories with Moyes at the helm – and perhaps the best is yet to come.
However, there’s no hiding from the fact that Moyes has a gigantic task on his hands, and must strengthen with haste if he is to be successful in his endeavour.
Everton transfer news
You’d think that Everton will be focused on bolstering up top this winter, for Moyes is sure to recognise Everton’s deficiencies in the final third.
Ernest Nuamah could be the man for the job at right wing, a position of concern for the outfit. Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom have both fallen flat and with their loan moves up at the end of the season it’s unlikely their stay will be extended under Moyes’ wing.
Defensively, Goodison Park is solid. Moyes knows his stuff at the rearguard and should be able to maintain the defensive authority that has seen them concede just 25 goals in the Premier League this season – the fewest across any side outside the top seven.
Foot Africa have also confirmed since the new year that Everton are looking at signing Strasbourg’s Habib Diarra, with the progressive midfielder exactly what Moyes needs to charge his engine room.
Let’s piece this together and have a look-see at how the Toffees might line up under Moyes.
Everton's dream XI under Moyes
Jordan Pickford will keep his place between the sticks, hailed as he is as “monster” of a goalkeeper by content creator Josh Wright.
Jordan Pickford
The defence shouldn’t receive any work this winter, though Nathan Patterson could find himself going from strength to strength with Moyes in the dugout. As you were for Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski.
Transfer target Diarra’s progressiveness should see him make waves in midfield, perhaps even assuming the role that Declan Rice played under Moyes at West Ham.
Diarra has completed 87% of his passes in Ligue 1 this term while averaging 0.8 key passes and 3.7 successful duels per game, as per Sofascore. It’s also been recorded by FBref that the Senegal star ranks among the top 8% of midfielders across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for progressive carries per 90, certainly in the same vein as the box-crashing Rice, who ranks among the top 9% himself.
We’ve already had a look at Nuamah, whose pace and potency make him the perfect electric option to add some dynamism and fizz to an Everton attack crying out for inspiration in that regard.
Iliman Ndiaye will keep his place on the left flank, to be sure, while Dwight McNeil’s playmaking expertise will come in handy in the new system – Lucas Paqueta Regen, anyone?
Then, last but not least, there’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is out of contract at the end of the campaign. Will Everton target a striker this month? Who knows. The funding might not be there given that Nuamah is being pursued.
Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin
However, with Armando Broja and Beto endowed with more athleticism than the England international, who has gone 15 straight Premier League fixtures without a single goal contribution, Moyes might be tempted to show some ruthlessness and throw him in the bin.
Moyes’ dream Everton XI after January – GK – Pickford; RB – Patterson, CB – Tarkowski, CB – Branthwaite, LB – Mykolenko; CM – Diarra, CM – Garner; RM – Nuamah, CAM – McNeil, LM – Ndiaye; ST – Broja

Yorkshire recover from 11 for 3 before sealing convincing victory with ball
ECB Reporters Network24-Jun-2022
Harry Brook continued his fine season with 67 off 31•Getty Images
Harry Brook’s blistering knock of 67 from 31 balls dug Yorkshire Vikings out of trouble and propelled them into the Vitality Blast North Group qualification places at Northamptonshire Steelbacks’ expense.Brook’s effort, which included four fours and four sixes, underpinned his partnership of 90 from 46 with skipper David Willey as Vikings fought back after a dreadful start to post 190 for 7 at Wantage Road. Yorkshire allrounder Matthew Waite registered a T20 career-best with both bat and ball, following an unbeaten 35 from 20 with figures of 3 for 18 as the home side crumpled to 128 all out in 16.2 overs.It was a third straight defeat for Northamptonshire, who have now dropped out of the top four and face a struggle to make the quarter-finals.Josh Cobb’s decision to send Yorkshire in after winning the toss was swiftly justified as the Steelbacks skipper opened proceedings with two tight overs and the wicket of Finn Allen, caught off a leading edge at short cover.With Adam Lyth and Tom Kohler-Cadmore both holing out to Ben Sanderson, the visitors slumped to a perilous 11 for 3 in the fourth over before Willey and Brook hauled them back into the game. Willey, who rejoins Northamptonshire at the end of the season, was required to play little more than a supporting role while his partner tore into the bowling, lifting Sanderson, Tom Taylor and Jimmy Neesham for a series of majestic leg-side sixes.Aside from a powerful drive straight back at Sanderson, who could only parry the ball, Brook offered no chances as he raced to his half-century from 21 deliveries and looked odds-on to convert that into a ton. However, he became one of three victims in five balls for Graeme White – and the only controversial one of those dismissals, given out caught behind after swinging across at the left-arm spinner.Any prospect of a renewed Yorkshire collapse was averted by Jordan Thompson and Waite, who crashed Sanderson for three boundaries off the final over as the visitors finished with a flourish.Northamptonshire made just as subdued a start to their innings, with Ben Curran chopping on to Willey and Shadab Khan’s tidy legspin provoking Cobb into a wild heave that saw his bat fly towards square leg, while the ball sailed away into the hands of backward point.But it was Waite who collected the prize scalp with his third delivery as big-hitting opener Chris Lynn speared it straight to Willey at mid-on to leave the Steelbacks teetering at 22 for 3.Neesham briefly revived his side’s hopes by hammering 26 from 13 but, having dispatched Shadab over the midwicket fence twice in an over, he picked out the point fielder next ball – and the procession gathered pace. Dom Bess struck twice in as many deliveries and, despite a late flurry of boundaries by Nathan Buck, the outcome was never in doubt.
Injury concerns force the BCB to request the ACC for an extension to announce their Asia Cup contingent

Nurul Hasan is ruled out of this upcoming Asia Cup after he underwent surgery on his injured index finger in Singapore on Monday. Nurul suffered the blow during the second T20I against Zimbabwe on July 31 and was ruled out of the remainder of the Zimbabwe tour.Bangladesh are dealing with quite a few injury concerns, which has forced the BCB to request the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) for an extension to announce their T20I squad for the Asia Cup, beginning on August 27 in UAE. They are likely to announce the squad by Thursday.Related

The BCB’s chief sports physician Debashis Chowdhury, who has accompanied Nurul to Singapore, said that the Bangladesh T20I captain would need four weeks to recover from the surgery.”A closed reduction and pinning procedure was performed on [Nurul Hasan] Sohan’s left index finger by hand surgeon Anthony Foo at the Raffles Hospital this afternoon. Recovery is estimated at three to four weeks,” Chowdhury said. Nurul and Chowdhury will return to Dhaka on Tuesday.Nurul is the latest player to be ruled out of the Asia Cup, after Litton Das’ hamstring strain put him out of contention. Pacer Mustafizur Rahman missing Bangladesh’s second ODI against Zimbabwe on Sunday, due to soft tissue edema, is another cause for concern. Allrounder Mohammad Saifuddin is also yet to recover from a long-standing back problem.Shoriful Islam and Mushfiqur Rahim were also hit on their knee and thumb respectively, during the first ODI, although they continued to play in the series.

ERROS E GOLS…
Apesar de muitos erros de passes no início da partida, o CRB conseguiu se encontrar e pressionou bastante o Sampaio Corrêa. Os visitantes até chegaram a assustar com Ygor Catatau. No entanto, depois de uma boa chegada de Richard, os mandantes abriram o placar com Anselmo Ramon. Aos 17, Yago mandou para o atacante, de fora da área, pegar de primeira e marcar, de placa.
Nos minutos seguintes o jogo ficou mais equilibrado e com poucas chances criadas pelas equipes, porém o CRB ampliou pouco tempo depois. Aos 30, Richard cruzou rasteiro para Fabinho, que, livre, finalizou para o fundo das redes.
PRESSÃO!
A partida voltou do intervalo mais movimentada, principalmente com o Sampaio Corrêa. Diferente da primeira etapa e sem grande poder ofensivo, o CRB se fechou defensivamente e não deixou com que os visitantes criassem. Porém, o time assustou os donos da casa com jogadas de Lucas Araújo e Ygor Catatau.
O Sampaio Corrêa seguiu buscando mudar o marcador do Rei Pelé. Apesar das investidas, a equipe parava no goleiro Diogo Silva. Dessa maneira, aos 38, a arbitragem pegou pênalti após Pimentinha ser derrubado na área. Na cobrança, Gabriel Poveda deslocou o goleiro e marcou.

كشف هشام يكن لاعب الزمالك السابق، عن مشكلة يعاني منها الفريق بشأن اختيار اللاعبين الجدد، كما أوضح أنه توجد أشخاص داخل الإدارة تبعده عن مساندة النادي.
وخسر فريق نادي الزمالك أمام بيراميدز، بهدف دون رد، في المباراة التي أقيمت بينهما مساء أمس الثلاثاء، ضمن مواجهات الجولة السادسة للمرحلة النهائية من بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز.
وقال يكن خلال تصريحات عبر قناة “الحدث اليوم” لبرنامج “كلام في الكورة”: “نريد أن نقف بجانب نادينا، لكن لا أحد يستدعينا، الكثير من مشجعي الزمالك يقولون أين أبناء النادي، لكن لا أحد يستدعينا، إذا كنا لا نستطيع دخول استاد القاهرة عن طريق الدعوة! فكيف سندخل النادي، هل نتخانق على باب النادي؟”.
وأضاف: “نحن موجودين ونريد أن نخدم نادي الزمالك، لكن توجد أشخاص تهاجمني وتقول إنني لا أحب النادي، أنا تربيت في النادي ووالدي كان لاعبًا في الزمالك، مين يشك في زملكاويتنا، المشكلة أنه توجد أشخاص دخلت في الإدارة أبعدتنا عن المشهد”.

وأكمل: “الزمالك يمتلك لاعبين جيدين في قطاع الناشئين، لكن لا بد أن يتدربوا بشكل صحيح، يحتاجون التوجيه السليم، فلابد أن يتولى تدريبهم لاعبين دوليين كبار”.
وواصل: “أيضًا عندما يتم اختيار صفقات جديدة، لا بد أن يتم عمل لهم غسيل مخ، لأن اللاعب الذي يأتي لم يكن لاعبًا يعتاد على البطولة، فلا بد أن تعمل معه حتي يكون لديه حمية وغيرة على البطولة”.
وأردف: “الزمالك يعاني من مشكلة في اختيار اللاعبين، واللاعبون أنفسهم ليس عندهم الحمية، في لاعبين لم يكن أحد يعرفهم قبل أن يلعبوا للزمالك، والجمهور جعلهم نجوما، لكنهم لم يطوروا من أنفسهم، لا بد أن يشعر اللاعبون أنهم أصبحوا زملكاوية، ليس أن يأتي ليلعبوا سنتين ويذهبوا لمكان آخر”.
وأتم: “العقود ارتفعت على الفاضي، لو لاعب يطلب 80 مليون جنيه، قل لي ماذا فعلت لتحصل على هذا المبلغ وكم بطولة حصلت عليها وكم مباراة دولية لعبتها؟”.
With Omar Marmoush set to arrive, Manchester City have now reportedly moved into pole position to sign a second Bundesliga talent in what could yet be a bargain deal.
Man City transfer news
Following a disastrous first-half to the campaign, Manchester City were always likely to act in the January transfer window. And act, they have, welcoming Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov and edging closer and closer to deals for both Juma Bah and Marmoush. The latter is undoubtedly the most impressive of the lot and should go a long way towards easing the goalscoring responsibility on Erling Haaland.
Welcoming both Khusanov and Reis, Pep Guardiola told reporters: “Welcome to the City family. Really pleased. They’re young players so they come for many years. Different types.
“Khusanov played here in France. [He has] Extraordinary physicality and hopefully he can learn English as soon as possible. Reis is a young Brazilian, very excited.”
Rodri's perfect partner: Man City intend to sign "world-class" £100m star
Manchester City are seeking to sign one of the Premier League’s best midfielders, believing this “world class’ star would be the perfect Rodri partner
ByBen Gray Jan 22, 2025
Now, following such a busy January, those at The Etihad could turn their attention towards the summer transfer window. According to TeamTalk, Manchester City have now moved into pole position to sign Joshua Kimmich when his current Bayern Munich deal expires at the end of the season.
A player who came through at Bayern under Guardiola, Kimmich could reunite with the Spaniard in the summer and solve both his right-back and midfield problem at a bargain price.
Now 29 years old, the German is no longer the rising star that Guardiola helped at Bayern. Nowadays, Kimmich is an established, elite and experienced player who could solve City’s problems.
Man City should seal Guardiola and Kimmich reunion
Two of Manchester City’s biggest problems this season have been their lack of depth in defensive midfield to step in for the injured Rodri and their lack of depth at right-back to end Kyle Walker’s disastrous run of form. Kimmich would instantly solve both of those issues, with his versatility and technical ability ready-made for Guardiola’s City side just as it was for his Bayern side many moons ago.
Germany's JoshuaKimmich, Antonio Rudiger, Nico Schlotterbeck and Waldemar Anton celebrate
Full of praise for a young Kimmich almost 10 years ago, the Spaniard’s prediction about a bright future for the German has since come true in abundance. He told reporters as relayed by beIN Sports in 2016: “I love this kid. He has absolutely everything and can achieve whatever he wants. He wants to learn and has passion.
“When I speak about Joshua Kimmich, I only say good things. I have a message for journalists: Don’t say that he can’t play in defence.”
Of course, many years later it is clear that the Bayern star can play in defence and complete quite the job too. When the summer arrives and his contract expires, a reunion with Guardiola would make perfect sense for all parties.
We’re only in January, and Tottenham Hotspur’s season already depends on the cup competitions.
Ange Postecoglou’s side has been absolutely devastated by injuries this year, and while the Australian can certainly end the campaign with a trophy, that feels very unlikely indeed.
However, while there has not been much for Spurs fans to cheer about, one undeniable positive has been the development of Dejan Kulusevski.
The former Juventus ace has always been an important player for the North Londoners, but he has come on leaps and bounds this year, and based on recent reports, the club are looking to bring in an England international who could help him get even better.
Tottenham target England ace
According to a recent report from journalist Graeme Bailey, Tottenham have ‘ramped up their own bid’ to sign LOSC Lille star Angel Gomes.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
The report has revealed that the North Londoners have entered the race to sign the England international and could now beat fellow Premier League side West Ham United to the midfielder’s signature.
The good news is that the Lilywhites should be able to sign the former Manchester United prospect for free due to his £11k-per-week contract expiring in the summer, but the bad news is that he won’t be able to officially join until then either.
It could still be a complicated transfer to get over the line if the Irons step up their pursuit of other teams entering the fray, but given Gomes’ ability, Spurs should be doing all they can to secure this deal as soon as possible, especially as he’d be an ideal teammate for Kulusevski.
Why Gomes would be a dream teammate for Kulusevski
Okay, so if Kulusevski’s long-term role at Spurs is going to be that of one of the more attacking midfielders in the team, then there are a couple of reasons why Gomes would be an excellent teammate for him.
The first is that, as the Englishman is adept at playing in central and attacking midfield himself, he’ll be the player who can adjust his starting role to platform and allow the Swede to further hone his skills in that more offensive role in the middle of the park.
Moreover, due to his ability to play deeper, the “top quality” talent, as dubbed by former Spurs keeper Paul Robinson, is no stranger to defensive duties, as shown by the fact FBref places him in the top 5% of attacking midfielders and wingers for shots blocked in Europe’s top five leagues, the Champions League and Europa League per 90.

However, he’s not just there to do the mopping up.
He is more than capable of dictating play, firing off dangerous passes and taking on opponents, as shown by FBref placing him in the top 1% for pass completion and successful take-on percentage, the top 3% for carries, the top4% for passes into the final third, the top 6% for progressive passes, switches and more, all per 90.
Not only do these statistics suggest that the Edmonton-born star would be able to play intricate passes into Kulusevski when he’s in dangerous positions, but it would also make him a player that opposing defenders would have to mark more proactively, thus naturally opening up more space for his future teammates.
Finally, the 24-year-old has already shown that he has a tough mentality, as he made the bold decision to leave Old Trafford in 2020 and back himself to earn a move from Portugal to a top-five league and now potentially back to the Premier League, all while breaking into the England setup, which is just the sort of player who’d improve the dressing room at Spurs.
Ultimately, signing Gomes this year feels like a total no-brainer for Tottenham, as his skill set and ability would undoubtedly improve the entire team, let alone Kulusevski.

Os gols do Peixe foram anotados por Marcos Leonardo, Madson e Rodrigo Fernández, todos no segundo tempo. Vitória com cara de goleada que poderia ter sido até maior pela postura da equipe da partida, que dominou o jogo do primeiro ao último minuto, mostrando sua força em casa e confirmando o bom momento do time na temporada.
O JOGO
Precisando do resultado e jogando em casa, o Santos começou o duelo pressionando o Coritiba. A equipe do Peixe quase não deixou o time paranaense com a bola nos primeiros 10 minutos, rodeando a área do adversário, mas sem conseguir concluir ao gol. O primeiro lance de perigo só foi ocorrer aos 12 minutos, quando após cobrança de escanteio, Velázquez subiu sozinho mas cabeceou para fora.
E assim foi praticamente todo o ritmo do primeiro tempo, com o Peixe mordendo, marcando alto, e chegando principalmente na bola parada. Em uma falta da intermediária, desta vez foi Baptistão quem subiu sozinho, na marca do pênalti, mas o atacante também errou a mira de cabeça.
O Santos até conseguiu balançar a rede na primeira etapa, mas o gol de Marcos Leonardo, após bola triangulação do ataque pela direita, foi anulado pelo fato do atacante estar impedido. O Coritiba só foi assustar nos minutos finais, em uma boa jogada pela esquerda que terminou com a cabeçada errada de Matheus Alexandre.
Veio o segundo tempo e o jogou seguiu na mesma sintonia, com o Peixe atacando e pressionando principalmente com a bola parada. Só que desta vez a história final foi diferente, com gol. Logo aos 2 minutos, Jhojan Julio bateu falta da intermediária, a zaga do Coritiba afastou mal e Velázquez acertou um chutaço da entrada da área. Muralha espalmou a bola e Marcos Leonardo, com o gol aberto, só completou para as redes. Peixe 1 a 0.
E o gol deu ânimo ao Santos, que seguiu pressionando e não demorou para marcar o segundo e o terceiro. Aos 15, Zanocelo arrancou lá de trás e deu grande enfiada para Lucas Pires, que invadiu a área e levantou na cabeça de Madson, que fuzilou de cabeça Muralha. Dois minutos depois, Léo Baptistão tocou para Rodrigo Fernández, que da entrada da área soltou uma bomba de esquerda e marcou o terceiro gol do Peixe no duelo.
Gols que não fizeram o Peixe recuar. A equipe seguiu pressionando o Coxa até o final e mais gols só não saíram devido boas intervenções do goleiro Muralha.
Com o resultado de 3 a 0, o Peixe conquistou a classificação para as oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil.
