Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Love it when we get real insight, from those that have seen such players in the flesh. The time to get him was when Derby had a car boot sale under Rooney and they lost their best players at a pittance. Huge leap from championship to prem for a lot of players, so your feedback gives me visions of Flynn Downes (moyes last £15m midfield gamble from the championship!)

Yeah think it would be a step too far for him, he’s a decent championship footballer and that’s it really.
I posted a few days ago when he was mentioned, he’s played a huge amount of games for his age, and is club captain. Great engine on the guy and is rarely injured… if ever.
I like Knight, but I would want much better in Everton’s midfield.

There are always exceptions to the rule but I'm very wary of players who have played that much at a lower level without anybody ever taking the plunge on them - particularly when they have actually moved clubs in that time without stepping up.

Or, we base it on the previous:

We have a history of making awful footballing and transfer decisions.

Moyes has a history of making bad signings post us and paying big fees for very average footballers.

That is not a combination to inspire faith and also gives you a fair indication of the MO of both.

My only hope is that TFG stand up to Moyes and invest in a lot of young international talent and sanction very few big money functional PL player type signings for them.

Mate I appreciate what you're saying but to suggest us signing Soucek and keeping Doucoure as one of the biggest mistakes the club has ever made is outrageous.

I get you're concerns but at this moment in time it's just rumour and even if it came to fruition it wouldn't be half as bad as people are making out.

For what it's worth I don't think Moyes will have it all his own way but he'll certainly want to shape the team in his own image.

Traditionally the Everton way too? Of course 'good football' is subjective and there will be differing views on how exactly the team should play, but I think it's fair to assume that having players with good technical attributes all over the pitch will be pretty much universally accepted as being a good thing.

Am genuinely only interested in winning football.

Not interested in it being easy on the eye.

He is 5 years younger, than our current best midfielder.

He is a good footballer that is more than just a long ball merchant, he is all action all round midfielder that this is a 10-15 goal contribution player most seasons.

3 year deal on around te Doucs money is standard for a good prem player.

I want us ot sign good youngsters too....but the reality is we need good experience players that can perform from day 1.

Would love Rigg too btw, and Sam Field.

These along with a soucek would be perfect blend.

Yeah not saying he's a bad player. Just don't want us to be spending ridiculous money on him
