Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Charles Hawtrey]

Yeh he was good, and that's what I questioned in my post, where's the drive if you're okay being #2 here?

Pickford leaving?

 

[Nymzee]

Is strange maybe the money has convinced him was he first choice at boro last season. Is one of the strangest positions in football because the age can go on for and also how hard it is to get in. Same as pope at newcastle if they bring in trafford could get in alot of teams but seems happy to be a number 2 now

Yeh it's a position you can't really win at. Ideally you have a top quality #1, an experienced #2 who is okay not playing often, and someone else loan farmed out to one day become #1

Wouldn't shock me if he retired here tbh.

Is the young gk city was meant to be looking at who hopefully if keep developing could be a long term option. In gk pickford still young at 31 still has plenty of time. Not saying i kno much about this lad travers but has atleast got experience at the top level. I just want to get it boxed off so we can move on to positions we really need rm ect

Yeh, he's out with them pre-season, but he's 17, so he is years and years and years away.

Yeah oh 100% agree and what you have said about pickford is settled with his family ect and could be here still for a very long time. Is why i think could be an option to replace pickford because of how long i think he has here. Gives us time to work give him experience train with first team ect

Racking my tiny brain for a player with those initials

I’d only take notice of those sorts of cryptic posts if it was coming from @Tofeenut

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

I’d imagine Pickford will retire at Sunderland. Bring it full circle.

 

[FTY]

Shows how much Boyland knows if that's true then.

Can't 'kin believe that the most reliable Everton journalist knows more than Easter Road over here

Pickford leaving?

LP= Leaving Pickford

A complete non starter IMO. Bobbles mate saying wages were an issue so we’ve lost out to Besiktas for Walker Peters and that the strategy here is now different. If we wouldn’t pay the wages for walker Peters then we certainly wouldn’t for Luiz! That’s why I’m expecting younger players in that haven’t already got the big reputations.

I wouldn't say that.

Looks to me like we just arent going to dish out stupid contracts to squad players which us exactly what KWP would of been.

If we believe that a player is going to be a top player in the first team they'll get paid as such.

See branthwaites new deal.

got them feels Kubo is incoming coupled with the fact of the signings of Momiki & Hayashi for the women’s team, could be a big marketing opportunity to crack Japan, just makes sense.

Liverpool being Liverpool they refused to honour the clause and sold him for £35m more to Barca the year after.

But with suarez it was a weird clause in his contract that he thought it was a release fee but was actually a acknowledgment clause.

All Liverpool legally had to do was inform the player they'd bid over the set amount and consider the bid. Which they did.

Thats why Suarez sacked his agent at the time.

Stupid thing is if arsenal would of bid £45m they'd of sold suarez. Just the cheek of the bid ment they were never going to sell.

King Kenny did Suarez up like a kipper!

“So I’ll get a transfer when I like boss?”

“Mibbes aye, mibbes naw.”

“I couldn’t understand what you said, but mucho gracias!”

i watched a highlights vid and now i want him, would be so nice to have him and ndiaye on the attack, we'd be really exciting
