Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[GoldenToffee]

So what are your hobbies?: oh you know speculating about Everton transfer news that hasn't occurred and envisioning calamitous hyperbolic scenarios that make me livid enough to denounce the club, despite their fictional nature, then I post my thoughts online.

This is a forum Sir.

I don't think we need to retain both Coleman and Young.

I get the approach of ensuring some continuity as a sort of risk mitigation ahead what should be an unprecedented few months, but that doesn't extend to keeping both of them.

Both men seem to be motivational figures, and great with the other players but really they're paid to be footballers.

Young is quite remarkable for his age and just seems to have the physical resilience that unfortunately Seamus does not. As much as I respect Seamus who has been such a towering figure I would not be offering him an extension. It's no longer merited for purely football reasons. Let him captain the side on Sunday. We need to rid the club of any semblance of sentimentalism.

I would give a year to Young but just on the basis that the priorities elsewhere are addressed.

“Let him captain the side on Sunday. We need to rid the club of any semblance of sentimentalism.”

A win leading to a 13th placed finish could mean an extra £5-6m (around what our new naming stadium rights agreement could be).
You can’t say to remove any semblance of sentimentalism and then say to play him as captain in what is a pretty important game for the club financially

Yes indeed. You're right.

 

[Mr Happy]

It’s May, ffs

He's just pissy cos we're not signing loads of youngsters that are probably actually regens on his football sim.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Moyes said something like "top players for a top stadium".

Now look at him.

Over The Hill Dickinson Stadium.

 

[Delargeinho]

We’re going to lose a lot of experience and leadership aren’t we, can’t just buy exciting kids. People play too much footy manager on here at times.

Yeah we do, but it looks like we keep Young and Coleman, which I can understand in terms of leaderships, but not for sportive reasons on the pitch. RB is something we need to change for a while. Yet both are cheaper together than DCL, Doucoure and Keane as single player and don't offer less tbh.

Tammy Abraham?

 

[buskwhi2]

Tammy Abraham?

I thought AC Milan were due to sign him but apparently not. West Ham seem as favourites but he is a Roma player

I’m not particularly fussed on him personally

 

[Goat]

Tammy Abraham?

9 goals total, in his last 3 seasons, in Serie A, nar, your ok thanks spud.

He's had few injuries to be fair. Better loan option than Broja has been and Friedkin could help the budget for the window by letting Roma pay his wages.

 

[blueblue]

It’s really not unprecedented either. Palace were in the same position the other year with loads of contracts expiring. Forest have turned over two new squads in two years! We signed how many new players last summer? Bollocks is it unprecedented!

Unprecedented for Everton is what was probably meant.

Nicola Zalewski 23 year old Polish international RB at Inter on loan from Roma. Surely a loan to us would make sense for Friedkin

Inter are signing him

‘Nick the Pole’? I’m in, just so i can get sentimental about his uncle Bob!
