Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

'Difficult market, tried to make things happen' been here before

I don't think that's what is happening, I'll could be proven wrong but I feel we are trying to be thorough with recruitment choices and try to negotiate affordable deals with an newly assembled enlistment team. It might not fit the timetable of certain supporters but I'm still optimistic. Would prefer more players at this point absolutely but I'm not dispirited yet. This isnt Moshiri or kenwright so I don't know why people keep expecting the same outcome?

And Garner at a pinch.

We need a left back more in my opinion mate.

It’s close.

I dunno what it is with that 'benj' I never listen to their podcast but he strikes me as massively self satisfied whopper, poncing around the directors box in his shiny suit.

Tbf I've just answered my own rhetorical question haven't I?

He and Bobble deffo have at least one contact at the club, which is where they get their tidbits from.

To be fair that's why it's not a piece of piss doing it, people expect you to provide them with news even when there isn't any, and somehow end up blaming you for telling them things they don't want to hear as if you reporting it is what made it happen.

It's a piece of piss rehashing known information. Maybe you'd struggle with that but most wouldn't.

It's an insult to people who pay for the Athletic sub.

Bit disappointing that not a single creditable report has dropped this week. I'm just hoping that the club are more advanced on players than anyone realises..

We’re all hoping this.

We are long overdue a bit of good news.

"Do they still need a new addition there?"

What a strange question to ask after stating that we have tried, and failed, to sign a new right back on two separate occasions.

That's like sending back shoes that don't fit and deciding that you'll just go round barefoot actually.

To be fair to the journalist, he has posed a question not an opinion .
It’s an invitation to debate not a conclusion.

Said it better than I could. Exactly. He’s asked a question not reported news, but a hysteria prone entitled fanbase jump on it (not you @Nymzee, well ok maybe).

A tough job these days of social media.

Bash out an article for us then lad.

'Hi Mate I need you to write 5000 words about Everton's transfer business over the past few days'
'Erm, there hasn't been any transfer business over the past few days'
'5000 words. Midday'

Piece of piss.

40K with a very generous Champions League qualification bonus.

The emperors guiding light through the grim darkness of the PL is all the bonus we need

Better to be honest and give and opinion then make stuff up just for clicks though isn't it.

I'd rather they just didn't release anything at all. Fluff piece for the sake of it.
