Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Completely agree, could be some really embarrassing scoreline against teams operating at a similar level to us. Bit disappointed that they’re going over with such a tiny squad tbh.

It’s not going to end well…. Feel
Sorry for any blues travelling. Don’t deserve this

Garnering interest would generally be a call to his agent saying ‘would he be interested?’. The manager meeting a player would usually be something you do to convince him you really want him and he should choose you over other clubs. Meeting a player we’re not bidding for does sound like a pretty odd move.

They may have been briefed on the conidiations of what City want to do a deal and met the lad to pitch the move- prob the most likely in truth or else we've tapped him up.

That's usually the way it goes these days. You dont see bidding wars anymore, when you think about it. There is an agreement across multiple clubs including the selling one.

He’s finished mate. Barely played the last season or two due to injuries, I think.

Yeah I thought that. Don't watch any football outside the prem. Genuine reason why he had his contract terminated. Gutted for him.

You'd feel for all the Japanese lids who've just bought brand new Sociedad Jerseys.

Bobble latest blog transfer has been sent to me …

Luiz on a loan to buy is of interest but no bids
Kubo we’re waiting for Sociedad to come back from Japan
McAtee - met Moyes earlier this week but no bid planned and no indication if he’s keen / sounds like he’s visiting a few clubs in PL & Germany.

and that’s it

All the credit for Kubo goes to Al, he dropped it yesterday out of no where.

Really sticking it to his critics, since he's gone rouge.

Thanks Al.

Do we have a telephone to call Sociedad?
I'm glad we're not rushing into anything. It.means that we are being very professional

We only communicate by carrier pigeon. Dunc would be proud!

Jealousy is an awful trait mate. You must be green with envy with how long you have posted a weird narrative. After all this time attacking me, just accept and come to terms I know what I’m talking about. Didn’t see one journo link Kubo with Everton until I named him of a player on interest. Enjoy the summer

A week ago.

People are saying Tom Fellows is not fast. That's no bad thing if your main asset is crossing the ball. It's very difficult to cross a ball with any accuracy if you're running with the ball at pace. Let's be honest, if pace was the primary attribute we required from a wide player then we would never have signed Trevor Steven or Kevin Sheedy - they were both slow, especially Sheedy. Watching the highlights of Fellows he doesn't seem that slow anyway. But the unbelievable number of assists show a consistent ability to work a bit of space and then deliver crosses to dangerous areas in the box. If there's one criminal failing of Everton in recent years (and today!) it has been the woeful delivery from wide positions into the box.

They’ll know to the penny what city want, they always do. The point was just that it would seem odd to set up a meeting with the manager if we don’t actually intend to buy him, which is how the original post was framed.

If youre picking a team and you have Illy on the left, would you pick McNeill or Fellows mate?

It’s that mcatee just having a few days away , like lunch dates here and in Europe.

No bid made or planned by Everton but the Manager of the club met up with a player ? I can’t understand what that’s all supposed to be about . “Alright James , up to much fancy a coffee ?”

If I was cynical I’d wonder if that gives somebody peddling rumour cover if the player signs or not , I mean it’s clear as day there . We’ve met him but don’t intend to bid , whatever happens fits doesn’t it ?

It’d be absolutely bizarre

 

[Bluewolf]

The lack of height outside CB and CF joins lack of pace and lack of creativity on my ‘must fix’ list for the powers that be.

Ive been saying for ages the top 3 stats every player we buy must have is being big, powerful and fast.

If they dont tick those boxes then move onto someone who does.

 

[Evo2901]

Sounds like we’re going all out for McAtee/Kubo doesn’t it. My one concern is us waiting around for an answer from them only to then be in a sticky situation if they don’t come to fruition.

You miss 100% of the shots you dont take.
