Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Rich1878]

When was the last time the club signed a player and it was just announced?

No leaks, no speculation, completely out of the blue.

I can't recall one.

Fellaini

Never thought I'd see you advocating for buying a Rangers player let alone scoffing at the price because you think he's worth much more.

You're really growing up Dave.

…he actually suggested Dessers

 

[Frosty1878]

I’d rather one player of real quality that can play across the front line (a Richarlison type), than 2 or 3 substandard bodies.

We really do need a player that can score goals though, desperately.

That’s all we get in bodies waste of time can’t wait for the window to shut and just have the weekends to be concerned about.

I've never been bothered about doing business with them until the Patterson rip off compounded the rip off over Michael Ball all those years ago.

If we're to get Igamane it has to be for about £5M top whack to represent a reasonable deal.

I see so many names bandied about in the Rumour and gossip columns I lose track. No signings as yet is it perhaps because we do not have the money ?

 

[Raino85]

I was agreeing with you mate

I know, I was adding to your agreement

 

[Exeter_Gently]

£25M....Lol.

25mil....worlds gone mad.

We need to dip into the market for lesser known players or players with expiring contracts. It is kind of a relief that no such rumours are doing the rounds.

 

[Raino85]

I give up . Let's see what happens, but I think you're going to very disappointed when we sign a striker by Monday evening

Gordon had to effectively be sold due to PSR/FFP.

Circa £45 million was a good deal for him at the time. He has improved but is he really worth £90 million!?

Since and including 2022/23:

McNeil
84 games
13 goals
12 assists

Gordon
86 games
21 goals (including 2 pens)
15 assists

Gordon has scored more goals in a much better team which creates a load more chances.

Not a huge gulf between the two in my view. Both hard working players with good delivery. Gordon has more pace with better pressing whilst McNeil has a better long range shot in my opinion.

Gordon is absolutely miles better than McNeil, and he allows Newcastle to press high and counter quickly. McNeil hits a decent corner and can strike a ball sweetly, but is a Championship player in most other regards.

(Albeit one that this team needs given the paucity of attacking ability)

Riquelme?

 

[NilSatisSte]

Think Ferguson is the best bet for me. This Rangers lad looks like he could be a right risky one. When was the last time a striker from Scotland made a proper lasting impact at a club south of the border?

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Time to give Sherif a run out from the bench. He’s the only other option behind Beto if we don’t sign anyone.

 

[Runub]

Based on that we shouldn't bother. Just put a strategically placed traffic cone in the penalty area and hope for the best

I don't trust Thelwell on his own, his record shows that he is unable to find gems in the market. The deals he has done seem to fit a hustler rather than a seasoned merchant. He needs some wins on his side. None of the players he has brought in have made Everton better or even appreciated. But I trust Moyes in conjunction with the current team.
