Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[mikel_88]

Thought post got sent by a friend a link from one of the leeds fan youtube account saying he got told ruddoni from coventry was a done deal and close. Bit on harrison aswell could be bs but thought news anyways.

…I’d expect it’s cheaper keeping Keane for a season than acquiring a replacement, one less problem to worry about.

True, but it's the lazy option. We should be looking a developing players. Any young CB would look at Tarkowski's age and the fact we don't have an RB so O'Brien might be forced to play there as an opportunity to get Prem football. We need players with ambition not just someone who trains well is a good pro and won't rock the boat because he spends the season on the bench.

I just want to say that i am enjoying this summer and the fact the club is on the front foot doing business. Love that we seem to have our decision making straight now that there is no DOF or Moshiri to mess things up

I'm always quick enough to jump on those I perceive to be cryarsing about nothing happening when they don't know what's going on behind the scenes so I feel like I should also take issue with this, for the sake of balance.

We absolutely COULD be on the front foot in terms of having a list of players ready to pursue, and hammering the phone, email and fax behind the scenes but we'll only ever be judged on what the squad looks like when the dust settles.

Tabloid noise and the massive business that transfer nonsense has become defo blur things even more.

We've got a big (for us) money signing in an important position done, and some important contract extensions agreed, as well as Charly on a perm which I am generally pleased with. If we can get another couple of deals done, or all but done over the next week or so it'll feel pretty good. Anything less will start to feel concerning, because either we aren't on the front foot at all, or we are and it's not yielding results. Not sure which would be more upsetting!

We just need a wide forward, we've got N'Diaye who comes infield (lazy but similar to Pienaar shame our LB hates to overlap) so in my opinion we need a Mirallas style winger/wide forward on the left.

Doesn't have to get to be who loves getting to the by-line but he needs to be able to get in behind and ideally has a knack of scoring goals.

Bakayoko, Kubo someone like that.

You would then have someone totally different in McNeil and ideally these 3 would be supported by a loan signing late into the window.

I do believe Beto will score more goals if we improve our wingers and add a little bit more creativity in Midfield, he makes the right runs and from what I have seen from Barry he does to.

My favourite goal of last season apart from the N'Diaye one at Spurs was Beto's Leicester goal when Garner played him in. I can count on one hand the amount of through the lines passes that have led to an Everton goal.

• Osman vs Derby (Fernandes assist was a thing of beauty and I still think the best pass I have ever seen at Goodison)
• Beto's (as mentioned above)
• Lukaku at West Ham (Geri assist perfect)
• Mirallas at Newcastle (Baines assist)

Feel free to add wouldn't mind some nostalgia.

If we can add someone like Luiz who will play those type of balls early to the likes of Beto, Barry, N'Diaye and hopefully our well deserved new right winger we could be an awful team to play against next season.

We will almost certainly loan several players and those won't happen until after pre-season most likely.

2 Prem loans will definitely be used, probably one off Chelsea. Add in one or two from abroad and it eases the pressure on finding the right signings this summer.

I appreciate wanting to find optimism, but I'm not sure we're on the front foot. We needed players more than any other club in the league -
Only Crystal Palace, Fulham and Newcastle have signed less.

Moyes will have wanted a few more in by now.

Branthwaite renewal is great, but Alcaraz we had an option on and we've only signed one new player yesterday who there wasn't really any competition for. Let's not be too quick to dish out praise.

Well for one its a step up from previous years, and second i guess i am a bit of an optimist at heart, which i guess is more fun than holding our club to unreasonably lofty standards which many of us are prone to do.

Sure we are not done and there is a lot of work to do - and maybe i am also nostalgic for the days when Moyes in charge of transfers managed to pull off some spectacular business. I remember how much fun summertime in this forum used to be back then!

The whole package now though - doing business relatively early and recognizing what must be done to keep our squad competitive (and hopefully improving it), while working towards a new season at Bramley Moore, not hamstrung by bad finances - it just leaves me feeling better about the transfer season than i have been in quite a few years!

 

[ToffeeScot]

We need at least 4 more in by the end of this month. I'd hope it's around 6 but I'd be fine if 2 or 3 of them aren't over the line until early August as our first game is on the 18th.

Aye there are caveats for sure. And clearly we always have to factor in things not going our way. Like when we lost out on that guy that went to Spurs instead of us, or On Kyle Walker and that other guy who went to Spurs instead of us, or Riquelme or Vadis Odidja Ofoe or losing players for free like Barkley or much more relevant today, DCL leaving. Fingers crossed and chin up and lots of sunscreen and refreshing pages on this forum. I am just glad i can have some Everton-related summer fun for once

Everyone will have one from Chelsea.

To us said he got told was close to being a done deal, is meant to be good for leeds stuff so thought was worth posting could be rubbish.

 

[blue to the bone]

You assume no financial details IMO Bertie Mee was making him look good at Burnley - another scenario was Phillips making Beattie look good - when a CF - when for for £1 million down the road at Crewe - Dean Ashton who played against us in the CUP - I remember Ronnie Goodlass on RM stating we have to sign him .....
Beattie went a season scoring one pen ..... & fans moan about DCL - Beattie he cost us 6 million a big fee back then -

Every club signs bad players - I get that - but lately we have a common trend of loan players being duff.....plus a few signings that have been injured we have no luck ....

Bertie mee and Michael keen .
What a partnership for the ages .

I do wonder how much Ndiaye could improve if we upgrade on Myko next summer.

No, but your poster boy for this argument is, formerly of this parish, Sandro Ramirez.

The season before he signed for us, he scored an unusual number of absolute bangers - over-performing his xG significantly, He, basically, had the season of his life and everything he hit was going in.

Now, Everton being Everton, looked at that and thought "blimey, that lad can't half hit them. We could do with some of those blammos here, let's give him £120k per week". What the sensible thing to have done would have been to look at it and think "could he do that consistently?" because statistically speaking, unless he was on Messi's level, the likelihood of him doing that was incredibly low.

You don't ignore them, but you apply some logic that says it's not often that those sort of shots are going to go in.

Love it or hate it, data has changed the way people analyse football. You can absolutely overperform against the average (if you're an average player), but you'll never do it consistently and are just as likely to underperform against the average. Very few players consistently outperform their xG, virtually none ever consistently outperform their xA (because you rely on another player converting the chance you're creating for them, so even truly great players lose control of the outcome)

Or you could just watch him a few times and realise he's useless.
