Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Exeter_Gently]

Couple of iffy outlets saying we're in for Tom Watson at Sunderland.

Never heard of him...any good?

That will have dropped significantly with Duran’s sale even with the addition of half a season of £350k per week for Rashford and their other recruits. They also sold Philogene for £20m so that’s £90m on the revenue line for this FY plus any other outgoing business they may have done or may do e.g. Watkins

Philogene
Carlos
Buendia
Duran

Over £100m of outgoings this window; all from players outside their starting XI, excellent business on Monchi's part.

I doubt they'll be covering Rashford's full salary this season and they then have 6 months to negotiate a new deal if they decide to sign him in the summer.

 

[RinkyDinker]

Surely United are eating most of Rashford’s wages still

Villa are minted. Isn’t their owner the richest man in Egypt

No, that’s Sheikh n Vac

 

[CielosGrises]

I don't think we're in the market for a LB till the summer, as Young can provide cover. The absolute priority is to bring in a striker, as if Beto gets injured now we're screwed.

Suppose if we got a winger instead, NDiaye could cover until the other 3 recover.

Listening to Moyes not sure if it was yesterday he said he wants players where we are going to competing at the top end of the league.

Maybe he thinks Ferguson isnt that and we can get better in the summer.

Moyes is certainly making all the right 'noises' since he came in.

I heard that. Kinda thought though that it's telling everyone we're minted again come summer.

They did sell Diaby for a decent fee in the summer as well so are probably in a good place PSR wise. They’ll be demolishing their wage structure to get Rashford in though, could well be worth it if Emery gets him playing again though.

Was he ever a player worth commanding those kind of wages?
Not for me anyway.

He's good but those wages seem crazy.

ACM: Alcaraz / Armstrong
CM: Gana / Iroegnunam
CM: Garner / ???

Thats where the Chris Rigg shouts should be deafening.

I'd hope Armstrong gets a season long loan next season mate - he needs the minutes he won't get here and to play mens football.

Ferguson to West Ham looks nearly done now

Awful by West ham that actually, desks reportedly a straight up loan with zero purchase option

Knowing us we’ll probably get Tom Watson instead hahaha.

Seen the details mate, West Ham losing with no option

Basically if he does great no chance West Ham can sign him, they've basically given Brighton a chance to drive his price up in the summer

Gone quiet though on this front

 

[dutchblue54]

good hope we dont go for him
think hes been way over rated

I rather have another recognized striker for Moyes to have available for the next 1 - 1,5 month than looking at Keane, Harrison and an 18 year old untried Dutchman as his options from the bench

So deadline is midnight tomorrow?

Haven’t the premier league now put PSR to one side to be replaced by a wages ratio target of 70% max for all clubs to meet. Clubs will need to be better commercially and our new stadium along with so many high earners off the wage bill at seasons end, will be a major shot in the arm to have the upper hand on some clubs. Outstanding recruitment has kept the likes of Brighton & Bournemouth in the higher echelons, but their small stadiums, with limited commercial incomes, outside of transfer sales, leaves them at much greater risk than us short & longer term. New stadium will be game chnaging for us, however, we will only reap the benefits of this, if we marry this up with better player recruitment, to enable us to generate funds from player sales in the future, rather than days of throwing money at old rope, who leave on a free. Lessons will have been learned, we will be a proper professional outfit, with proper people on the board running a tight ship etc. Get through till May, and potential is vast.

And who has the best Commercial deals, hmmm let me think, another masterstroke from Mr Corruption himself little Dickie Masters. I just wish the other 14 clubs would show some gumption, I really do.
