What were Everton fans chanting about Harrison Armstrong at Bournemouth?
Everton fans do not want Armstrong to leave, even if it would represent pure profit for the Toffees on the books.
At the Vitality Stadium, the travelling support created a new chant to let the Friedkin Group know their stance after David Ornstein's report.
Liverpool Echo reporter Joe Thomas took to X on Saturday to share the chants.
His post read: “Don’t sell Armstrong, Harrison Armstrong, I just don’t think you understand...
“If you sell Armstrong, Harrison Armstrong, you’re gonna have a riot on your hands.”
That is a strong warning to the ownership and the recruitment team, that they should not sell the academy graduate.
Why have Everton fans reacted so furiously?
Armstrong represents everything that supporters want to see in the squad right now
He has come through the system at Finch Farm and has not looked out of place when handed a chance in the Premier League.
The fans want to see more players from the academy given their opportunities by Moyes, rather than the club selling them on for profit.
The L3 outfit are not in the same deep water that they once were when it comes to the squad cost rules that define business in the top-flight at the moment.
If he is sold, supporters will be furious, as their chants made apparent against the Cherries.
They could chose to hit the Friedkins where it hurts, in their pocket, and protest by not attending matches, so the ownership need to make sure that he is not sold.
It could be a rocky few days, with the transfer deadline coming up in the next few days.
