Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


Happy to be proven wrong but I would be amazed if fair market value for Goodison is anywhere near £50m. Hemmed in by loads of residential property with very little opportunity to develop around it. Then you factor in the cost of demolishing it and then redeveloping. It’s not that close to the centre of town and transport links are poor.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s worth £10m or less. Obviously we can be creative with the accounting but not sure we can make up that difference.

£65m might be a sensible number for the women’s team and Goodison but £50m of that is not coming from Goodison alone.
If we sold Goodison to the women's team it's an opportunity cost issue. Even if the land is worth little, they would have to build a new stadium. It would be easier and cheaper to pay an inflated cost for Goodison.
 

Quite clear that Seamus was kept on to help bed in the many new players that will be arriving this summer. Good move imo and positive to hear that lots of players expected!

Seamus Coleman: “It’s well known we will have a lot of new faces in this summer and I hope I can help them settle in as quickly as possible”.

David Moyes: “This could be a period of real change at the Club and I want somebody who can help deliver the messages of what it means to be an Everton footballer”.

“many new players that will be arriving this summer”

We live in hope.
 

Sounds like a CBBC comedy duo.

Thanks to it continuing as a working stadium, It’s no longer just the land value that’s important if we were looking to sell Goodison.

We’re all too well aware that it’s not state of the art - but it was a top flight stadium in the biggest league in the world, holding 40,000 fans only last season.

It now has a new tenant in a growing league.

Goodison has value. Not in the billion dollar range like BMD, but not just the value of its land, either.
