Alan Myers answers your Everton transfer questions on TalkingPoints

Was it Brooke Norton-Cuffy’s decision to not join Everton?

“I’m told he decided to stay at Genoa.”

Everton held an interest in Brooke Norton-Cuffy, but the right-back ended up remaining at Genoa despite interest from across Europe.

If you are David Moyes, who would be your starting right-back for the remainder of the season? 🤔

It must also be mentioned that it is claimed Everton were not impressed with Norton-Cuffy when scouts travelled to Italy to watch him.

Could The Friedkin Group have brokered a deal to sign Evan Ferguson?

“I think that one has been visited a few times, I just think the player has other ideas.”

Do Everton need to move on from David Moyes?

“I think David Moyes is the right manager at the right time, there’s a lot of hard work to be done still, if you take his whole year since he returned there is a lot to be pleased about.”

What did David Moyes see in Tyrique George that he thinks will improve Everton?

David Moyes has surely got to throw George straight in from the start vs Fulham, hasn’t he!? 🤔

“Moyes likes pace, he likes talent and it appears George ticks both boxes.”

What does Tyrique George need to do to earn a permanent Everton move?

“It’s a difficult one, we don’t know for sure the financial details of the loan deal, but basically he needs to perform when selected and make the decision for the club.”

Reports in recent days have suggested that George is keen to earn himself a permanent move to Everton.

Did you ever come across a situation like Dwight McNeil’s on deadline day?

What are you now expecting from Dwight McNeil for the remainder of the season? 😫

“Many times, it’s always difficult in these situations, but these people are professionals and will get on with it, I’m sure it’s been a tough time for Dwight but I think if he plays the fans will back him.”

Was Tim Iroegbunam ever close to leaving Everton for Lazio?

“Not as far as I know, I think the manager likes Tim, I see him as an important member of the squad”
