Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

I absolutely loathe that Dithering Dave crap.

Why can’t we ?

Erm, I accept that 98.7% of people on here know more about footy matters than I do, but I'd hazard a guess at the reasons why buying a top striker in January being highly unlikely might include:

* They'd rather sign for a top Club than a relegation-threatened one.
* If they're surplus at a top club, they won't want to take a step down in status or salary.
* Any club currently challenging for anything/struggling won't want to sell their top striker.
* Any top striker at a non-challenging club might attract the eye of top/rich ones.
* We haven't got a shi......er, barrow load of money to spend on a top guy.

There are probably more reasons that that, but I've had a couple of vodkas on an empty stomach, so my head isn't currently at peak efficiency.

I realise that there's always a chance of an unexpected bargain, or spotting a lower league gem that everyone else has missed, but I think they're fairly long odds. Fingers firmly crossed for us finding top quality, though.

Plenty of time.

A whole 8 days.

….had to laugh yesterday when Mike genuinely blamed Dyche for the DCL and Mangala injuries

I blamed him for our players being unfit, because I think they are unfit

After those 2 injuries yesterday maybe it’s a good thing we haven’t spaffed all our dough on full backs already. We will get players in but lots of teams need exactly what we need so we won’t be first choice and we need good players so others will be in for them. It was always going to be signings towards the end of the window, it also saves paying wages…

Joking aside there's some actual truth to that, the earlier we sign players the sooner their wages start ticking on the books, 4 signings at a total say of 250k pw between the lot over a month is 1.1m so 5.5m roughly off whatever we have to spend by doing it early. (The reported 40m room we have becomes 34.5m if we'd acted soon as the window opened)

Yes that's really how absurdly ridiculous PSR is ....

 

[Mr Happy]

Not sure about Bayern. But he did used to play for Barcelona. One poster in particular said he was Barcelona’s best player and up for the Ballon D’or so it’s quite clear that they got him confused with Raphinha.

The one I suggested is a free agent…

Think his brother played for RS. Good player, can't think of his name oft top of my head

i know all clubs have been scrambling for players

it's absolutely true though. Moyes is not a decisive manager.

Your opinions are a joke.

At least I’m not a sectarian danger.

 

[brian labone]

mate your are obsessed with this

Say what you like it was not me that gave him this title but it is true whether you like it or not.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Do one you absolute prick. I don't have a sectarian bone in my body. Seems any criticism of certain players generates that kind of attack from nonentities like yourself. Ive loved numerous ex Rangers players that have turned out for us.

 

[lieneverton]

Just hope yesterday's injuries mean TFG, if they were even remotely considering on waiting until the summer - and I hope they werent considering that - now fully know we need bare minimum a couple in, in the next week.

 

[Glasshalffull]

Well, I did say we could hope for a swoop for an hitherto undiscovered or suddenly surplus top class guy. No point in being delusionally optimistic, though. Maybe someone half way decent and someone to feed him passes/crosses is a better way forward, anyway. Glasshalffully regards.
