Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Kevsleftpeg]

None of this makes sense. Branthwaite has elite pace. Pickford is coached into having a much more defensive starting position and is a lot more offensive for the national team. Everton defending in a low block is a choice and no recruitment will change that.

Moyes tried and failed miserably when he tried to play modern football at West Ham. They spent a ton of money but had to reverse back to Moyes old style to avoid relegation. Their average possession numbers ended up being similar to Everton's this season.

I like Moyes and he has done well, but no one here can convince me that he his less of a dinosaur in 2025 than what Allardyce was in 2018.

You're literally insane.

On that alone we are in agreement.

He does score more for the national team it's true. Always running off the defender

Have you just compared Moyes to Allardyce

Seek help urgently.

Thank you compiling that for me mate genuinely appreciated it.

Still doesnt prove anything imo but thank you.

Not a problem.

Although it wasn't intended to prove anything. It was intended to move the discussion on from the "prove it/no you prove it" stalemate.

If you want proof you'd probably have to ask @The Bobble directly.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Are you a fan of Bobble?

Or are you Bobble?

I'm just a man. A man with the ability to use the search function.

This has got Guraissy, Boneface and Gykores written all over it. We were linked to all and they went elsewhere and preformed great. We'll end up with Callum Wilson or Mikal Antonio.

or both

 

[Macblue80]

Yes please.

As mentioned before I'm sure I read after the friendly against Motherwell the Staff where left impressed so likely to move to Rangers now

 

[kiss the crest]

These links with players Antonio etc needs to stop, the only thing that will make it stop if the Friedkins have an ounce of ambition and start making some statement signings, because as upto now we have tried to keep Doucoure young Coleman Keane and DCL, we have been linked to Coufal Antonio.

Come on Everton this is a reset so let's start acting like a club that wants to compete, the players above are simply not good enough

To be fair we've probably been linked with 100 times more players who haven't gone on to be great elsewhere, we just don't remember them as well.

 

[maccavennie]

here we go!

I'd take a punt on Antonio you know mate.

Edit - just remembered the year isn't 2015.

 

[Toffeepot]

I really hope we sort the RW position soon
Priority one for a few years now

 

[Timhowardsswearbox]

My dads a lifelong steelman, we’d get him for £4m

I’ve been banging that drum for about a year. The issue is he might look at how we’ve ‘developed’ Patterson and swerve.

I don't think signing your dad is the right move for us in this window.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Genuinely looks like we’ll need 10 players if both Keane and DCL leave as expected, and we loan out both Armstrong and Chermiti like they need to be. That’s not even including Tim who probably needs a loan too, but let’s say he’s currently third choice behind the Gana/Garner axis.

- Starting RB
- LB competition for Myko
- 4th choice CB
- CM, a starter next to Gana
- Starting RW
- Starting CF
- 3rd choice CF
- #10
- 2x backup keepers

Reckon that equates to about 4 loans, 2 frees, and 4 players we actually spend a bean on. Huge summer, yet will be surprised if we sign anyone until July.

I wonder which bang average 2025 premier league players we'll be linked with in 2035?
