Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

We have always been hard to please. Maybe rightfully so but sometimes we are wrong.

I remember seeing us lose 2-0 at the old Filbert Street in autumn 1983 age 17 taking a break from A-level preparation. Our less than massive away following in a pathetic 10k or so crowd gave dogs abuse to a team including Southall Bailey Ratcliffe Sheedy Steven Heath Sharp and Harper, Richardson, King and Higgins.

Walking out of the ground the talk was of firing the manager, relegation and selling the young players who were “nowhere near good enough” as my cousin loudly told everyone. It wasn’t outrageous because we were truly awful that day. We were still tripe about three months later when Kevin Brock hit that perfect pass. Just over half a year after that Leicester debacle we saw them lift the FA Cup.

I always keep all of this in mind when I see fans on here writing off transfer targets and saying we should sell current ones. We love our club and to varying degrees we understand the game but none of us know as much as Moyes and his staff or the other recruitment and analytics professionals. A little humility goes a long way. A little patience goes even further. It is way too early to panic about our squad.

Disagree with you mate, If that was the case the former chairman would not have been a custodian for as long as he was and average players would not be hyped up to be more than what they are time and time again.

We currently have a manager put on a pedestal by many who delivered no silverware and European exits by anyone remotely decent in his previous time here.

I tweet an awful lot when I could just deactivate. The podcast is an Everton Channel that covers a wide range of stuff including my bits. That’s all. What’s the issue? It’s no different to any other football content.

I come on here to defend myself from the same 6/7 people who think it’s ok to throw abuse or spin narratives for no apparent reason. I’ve read so many lies on here that it’s an absolute disgrace at times.

Regarding why I don’t reply a lot is because I have a family, a job, a 6 month old baby and time is important. I read an awful lot and choose to sometimes pipe up when things are becoming out of order. I don’t see any other journalist (who all sit behind paywalls) or ITK getting the abuse or same questions labelled at them as I do and I still tweet an awful lot of information on Twitter when I could just not bother.

Anyway, got nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything is my motto and on that note I hang my hat up on this forum and won’t be coming on again. I have always tried to be civil on here and polite but won’t be wasting my time any further.

Forums are just like any other social media such as twitter aka X. There will always be negative comments. In one ear and out the other. You only have to look at the link stickied at the top of this thread to see what the majority of members have voted. You are classed as Tier 1. There is no higher Tier so you don't need to defend yourself and definitely don't need to leave because of it. I would have left years ago if i took every negative comment to heart. Thanks for everything that you do. ;)

Tier 1: Most Reliable
As close as it gets to receiving the news from an official source. These journalists are known for consistently accurate and well-sourced information.
