Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[jamieni]

Haven’t watched presser but sounds like maybe Moyes was sold a lie on what we could do in January. Dyche said similar when he joined. Think Carlo left because of that as well.

Do we blame a badly run club or our managers being too trusting?

The former seems much more like. Moyes himself said his appointment was a whirlwind so maybe he hadn’t even had time to discuss transfers before he signed.

You have to watch it mate, it's honestly the weirdest one I've seen .

Oh I shall be when I get home.

Not that I wish to rake this back over the coals, but I don't think we can be sure Utd's claims were all that different to our Covid costs, for example. It's all reported so badly.

Apart from the fact it was allowed for the year after, when nobody else had any claim... No games behind closed doors.. United somehow managed to lose 40 million due to covid, more than they lost during covid.

What's Joshua King up to?

On the bench for high flying Bournemouth,
expect him to rock up at Goodison in the F.A. Cup tie.

Oh we’re shockingly run but even I knew we’d be skint, why are managers joining us and thinking we can do stuff? It would be like the first question I’d ask in the interview

“Tell me straight, can we sign anyone or not”

The more I listen to DM, I get the impression he is not happy with the players being presented to him as possible transfer targets.

It's pretty ridiculous for a manager to be saying "we don't even want you" to prospective signings ye. Whether true or not

Instead of we absolutely want you, here's a shedload of wages but we know you are sub-standard?

He plays in France now

He plays in France now

Near enough.

They got 40 million allowance for 2022\23 nobody else claimed anything, they also got allowance for the cost 35 million of selling the club, standard business expenses which usually is taken on by the sellers. Yet we were told that we should have anticipated Russian wars.

We tried to claim 170 million in Covid losses that were accepted, and I believe we were given 82 million, far more than anyone else.

The PL is ridiculous with their punishments, but we shouldn't be crying about others getting special treatment.

 

[Nymzee]

If we lose tomorrow and don’t see any signings by the deadline the pitchforks will already be out for the new owners

Are you suggesting this is some sort of negotiation tactic?

 

[blulouie]

Unless Moyes has seen the list of who Thelwell is gonna bring in and has tried to torpedo any deals on it as he regards them as that bad.

Most definitely.
It's on Moyes this , in his 1st presser when asked about the Nuamah transfer hie answered " I don't know if it's done yet ".

The whole thing has changed and very quickly imo Moyes looking for players the not obtainable and rubbishing all the months & months work on deals Thelwell had ready to go.

Something has changed dramatically since he came in.

 

[blulouie]

Is it though?

Yes

Think it'll be Thelwell first mate
