Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


Let’s sign Adama Traore then, if all you need is pace. No end product needed, even if McNeil is one of the few who doesn’t crap himself when he has to make the right pass or shoot.

Right pass??? He makes 1.1 key passes a game. He created 12 big chances last season and guess where most of them came from. Lindstrom created 6 big chances and wasn't on set pieces, played less minutes and was played out of position.

Take McNeil of set pieces and hes got nothing.

Is this were some of our fans are as a club now? Making out like dross like McNeil is good... madness!
 
People remember the Pienaar's, Arteta's and Yakubu's but forget about the Stracqualursi's, Drenthe's and Kroldrup's.

first 3 were players he bought when given actual money.

Two out of the three later players were desperation loans because bill had given him no money for two years and was slowly selling the squad he created out from under him.

Kroldrup was a bad one through remember thinking he was going to be boss. But moyes got rid pretty quick and we got most of our money back on him. So wasn't a complete disaster.

Must be missing something with Evan Ferguson
I don’t see it at all
The forum keeps going in circles. People thinking he is going to be the next big thing and it getting pointed out how barring a handful of games he has played he really isn’t very good.

Would be a waste of a domestic loan and a waste of money. Massively over hyped and overrated because he got a hatrick once.

McNeil without set pieces got 4 goals and 4 assists last season.

Which would still have him as our highest assister in the league last season.

He played a grand total of 130 mins more than lindstrom (actually 4 appearances less) and got 4 goals and 7 assists more than him.

Whats more important, creating some more big chances or actually getting outcomes from them? As clearly, mcneil chances are better chances.

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.
Definitely has a more professional feel about it and James Smith is a massive coup for Everton, I think that will turn heads within football, but unfortunately he wont be involved in this transfer window as he will have a period of leave from City, rumoured to be 3 months which will put us in mid September.
