Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[ToffeeScot]

I thought we may do some transfer shenanigans with Roma and I have to say I hate it. The multiclub model is a stain on football but sadly needs must in a landscape dominated by it and other dodgy dealings.

Seen we are linked with Roma RB Zeki Celik. As part of the deal we will sign 21 year old Wesley Franca from Flamengo, then loan him to Roma so Celik can come here

Everton Consider Move for Roma Right-Back Zeki Celik

Everton are eyeing Roma right-back Zeki Celik as a summer target after Kenny Tete extended his stay at Fulham.

Merlin Rohl doing rounds again, although it comes from some dodgy sources.



Hope we’ll be back for him, as we were apparently interested in January. 6’2 CM with goals in him. Should be perfect for us.

Tall German midfielder. Has anyone likened him to Ballack yet?

I’d love to have a Ballack type in our midfield

No idea about the veracity of any of this, but the prospect of us buying a player and loaning them out to Roma seems reasonable enough to me from a PSR perspective - especially if there’s a loan fee to offset the portion of the transfer fee that would go on the books this year.

So because of this TFG are using Everton Football club to buy players for Roma?

Who knows. It just seems a weird deal to be done if true based on the rumours that have been posted. Like I’ve posted before it just seems daft that Romas manager has wanted him since he was at Atalanta and if the deal goes ahead like stated he would be happy turning him back over to us after a years loan?

There will be some financial angle to it mate.

But people see and read everything in 200+ characters and no one really knows the half of it.

PSR aside, if this has any truth to it, or if this trend becomes a reality, then what difference are these guys to Mosh?

We complained that Mosh interfered too much and now there are rumours that we’re having to take Roma off casts to make way for their shiny new long term prospect (that we’re also paying for).

I wonder if Celik was high on our list of targets?

Wesley is a very good player. So it’s good he’s linked with us. Can’t really see how this story could ever be true though. We are the iconic club in their ownership group now, not Roma. Any diddles would work the other way round.

Not we are not. We are equal. They have made that clear numerous times.

The arrogance to think we are more important than an iconic club in the Italian capital is laughable.

One day perhaps but we are far from that yet.

Interesting.

Most of the Everton rumours turn out to be a load of Ballacks.

Celik is pretty nondescript / average which sometimes has be to fair enough if you're on a budget and need 8-10 players. If you were looking for experience and adding squad options then he ticks those boxes. Not great, not bad.

…..pretty much describes that video montage.

I actually like the multi club model. In a world where Chelsea stock pile players and the league try to shaft us over PSR we have to find an edge. This is it.

Sure there will be a moment when we appear to benefit more than Roma. But in this instance it looks like they get the more promising player.

But look, the Turkish RB is decent and a different option to O-Brien, and miles better than Patterson and Coleman.

Weren't we supposedly in for him before when he played in France ?
