Wednesday’s Toffee Bites: What will it take to sign Gomes permanently?

Your daily dose of Everton news and rumors

It was a hectic day of Everton-related news yesterday, so we’ve grouped most of it here for you - all Everton at Liverpool related stories can be found here, and the Everton vs Newcastle stories are all here.

Andre Gomes has been excellent since getting into the starting lineup, and it appears he and the Blues are in agreement about making his deal permanent. [RBM]

Marco Silva has made some key changes to the pre-game rituals, most importantly he has the squad staying together at a hotel for the night before, even for home games, and his reasoning is sound. [Echo]

Bernard, like the rest of the squad, was really disappointed with how the derby ended, but says the players are focused on moving on. [EFC]

Sounds like Merseyside will have to prepare for an ‘Impvasion’ in the first week of January when they host Lincoln City in the Fa Cup Third Round. [Lincolnshire Live]

Jose Mourinho is in the hot seat, and whenever that happens he invariably goes on an unhinged rant, this time it was aimed at Everton. [RBM]

In this week’s episode of ‘Backstage Blues’ the cameras followed the players into the away side’s dressing room for the Merseyside Derby.
