Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[MACCA75]

Going to be challenging for the new regime to deliver better quality young players than Thelwell at the same price points.

£12mil for Alcaraz could be the best bit of business we do this summer.

His club were hawking him around. Let’s not pretend Thelwell was flying out to Brazil to watch him.

Based on age and what we’ve seen from him this far, i wouldnt complain if we paid twice that. 12m is a steal and, had i not been an Everton supporter for a long time, i would be shook we havent signed him already.

Cant wait to see him sign for Spurs or Fulham in the summer

Who signed him? Thelwell.

Thanks Kev

Who signed him? Thelwell.

Thanks Kev

Thelwell was still the director of football at that point, but it seems pretty clear that Moyes was the one making the transfer decisions in January (recall that it was Moyes who killed the Nuamah transfer after Thelwell had him all but signed). It was also widely reported that Charly's people approached Everton, not the other way around. I'm a fan of Kev, but he gets no credit for Charly.

When we signed him out the blue, I googled him.

Found an article on here from Oct 23;

Report: Everton wanted to sign midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, he has now been called up to Argentina squad

As per reports in The Athletic, Everton were interested in securing the signature of Alcaraz, but were unable to match Southamptons fee.

Thelwell wanted to sign Alcaraz before Southampton got him. As per, we couldn't afford him.

Hope we get the players in nice and early. Will cry when I see DCL leading the line first game.

No known for his decisiveness is our manager

Would the Kopite Creswell be the worst signing on a free. I’d rather we lump our money into a RB than a LB

Not very forward looking. Isn't he about 33?

Edit: Just asked Wiki - 35. Swerve.

Yes...terrible signing.

Presumably the price keeps going up every time he scores - & that price will be too high.

Moyes has been quoted in Jan saying he didnt want the signing(s) and wanted better players.

Thelwell got Alcaraz, he was a long term target of his.

If you think Alcaraz's agent only approached Everton then that's very naive buddy.

Its all thanks to Kev.
