Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[micknick]

Forget all the players supposedly "linked," "tipped," and of which Everton are "aware." Let's take a moment to feel hopeful about this:

• Angus Kinnear, CEO
• Chris Howarth, head of strategy (The Friedkins also bought his data analytics company, Insight Sport.)
• Nick Hammond, trades and negotiations
• James Smith, director of scouting

Everything points to an ambitious team with a record of finding quality talent for real value, both as players for the club and as future sales. They were unlikely to make moves during the first short window, especially while still assembling the team that would make things happen, but this leadership team should inspire some confidence. I think the only position left is football operations.

I hoped Steve Walsh would find another Mahrez, Kante and Vardy in Italy that time.

It’s the hope that kills ya.

Then he just doesn’t have the talent. Either way it makes no sense for our squad.

doesnt have talent when he was banging in goals in the prem at 18?

 

[Curtis]

No. This boy is finished until he sorts out his personal life

Moyes is planning to take measures to show Ferguson that the hard partying lifestyle is destructive and foolish by having him hang out with Andy van der Meyde for an evening, by the time Ferguson has to do his 15th line of coke he'll be willing to give up the hedonistic life

 

[Bedfordblue]

Moyes is better than Dyche, not hard, but he is not a magician. We need better players.

You would think he was with some of the gushing over his recruitment last time.

People remember the Pienaar's, Arteta's and Yakubu's but forget about the Stracqualursi's, Drenthe's and Kroldrup's.

 

[BlueBarrow]

Moyes had a net spend of buttons. People should get off his back re recruitment. He did marvellously under serious financial constraints.

Feeguson played against Luxembourg the other night. Watched about 60 minutes of it until I could take no more . He was shocking as were the rest buf he has fallen back so far it's not even worth a gamble. He wouldn't end up starting 5 games on current form.

So a big upgrade on the Albanian sicknote?

No.

 

[Taifi gorm]

Scored a hatrick against Man Utd

What happened to him

Injury+de zerbi+ youth+ dash of hype= part time. Going on loan to London was just the worst idea.

 

[CielosGrises]

People remember the Pienaar's, Arteta's and Yakubu's but forget about the Stracqualursi's, Drenthe's and Kroldrup's.

Saw more from Strac and Drenthe than Broja and Dele !

One of the take homes for me from the Smith pending appointment mate, is Moyes is wielding a significant influence behind the scenes, he’s clearly a Moyes man.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Brighton sign 18 year old forward Kostoulas
(BBC football).

Probably replacement for João Pedro to Newcastle?

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Definitely had an alarming drop off. Just wonder about his fitness.
It's one where I'd trust Moyes's judgement.
Coleman will have a fair idea if there's a player still in there somewhere.

Where did all the “private life” comments originate around him? The manager questioned his mental and physical condition, but he also treated some other players oddly around the same time. Thought it was more that he played through injury, stopped scoring, made it worse, downtime, surgery, no run of games, huge hit to confidence, terrible loan choice etc etc etc. was like people could just accept they got carried away about him after bagging 3 goals.

Not that I think that we should go there at all. Any striker purchase is a gamble at our price range, let alone one with added questions and myths.

The lad Woltemade just scored Germany's opening U21 Euros goal against Slovenia. Wasn't convinced by his turn out for the big team last week but see how he goes here. We still amongst the rumours for him?

now this is finally in place we should stsrt making some moves

we are all desperate for the signings to be happen but it was unlikely we were gonna plunder 100m without a team recruited to make those decisions

hopefully the cowboy days of moshiri are behind us
