Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Clicked Evertons squad on my fotmob app. Genuinely scary looking at the numbers. 2 forwards listed. Just for comparison every other club had between 6 and 10. And they had listed in our midfield doucoure still. And patterson.
We need 5 players. Minimum.
 

You have to hand it to manbun Jack. He's a trailblazer and has now coined a new football phrase. When agents are negotiating a deal for a client and they are looking for 100k a week they now refer to it as a "Harrison".

Apparently Ascenscio's agent is touting his man around the boardrooms of Europe only asking for one and half Harrisons. Sounds cheap to me on that basis.

I don't know. He's got three years left on his current deal, which pays £90k per week. He'd have to agree to personal terms with Everton, and I can't imagine anyone being happy to match or exceed those terms, or Jack agreeing to less. On top of that, he's still on the books at Leeds for another £2.75 million in amortization, so that's the bare minimum they would take to avoid a loss for PSR, and they'll want more to record a profit.

If it were to happen the best case scenario would be something like this:

1. Agree to personal terms at a much lower wage (cut by at least half) but with individual performance incentives, e.g., goal involvements.
2. Pay Leeds around £5 million, so they can record a profit and cut their losses.

Would he agree to that? He would probably need 3 years and a signing bonus to get it over the line, but he doesn't deserve it. But let's assume the best case scenario, and it's a transfer fee of £5 million and a wage of £45k a week. If he's just as crap as he's been, then he's costing us about £12 million in fees and wages for being crap. £12 million to make him our headache instead of Leeds'. If he exceeds expectations and meets performance goals, he costs us up to £19 million or more, but does anyone think that's realistic?

I just don't see it. There are better ways to spend £19 million.
