Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Aries]

24th. Thursday.

It’s Friday. They play Yokohama on Friday 25th and that game ends their Japan tour.

The #Everton, apart from clubs in #LaLiga, is interested in Adam #Aznou.
The #Bayern full-back's contract ends in 2027.
His release price is set at €7M.
An open matter, with the #Toffees strongly entering the race.
#Maroc #BayernMünchen

Seems to be a 7m Euros release clause. Buttons basically.

I’d like to think that isn’t a particularly complex deal to do if true, in fact I’d think it so uncomplicated that I’d wonder why it’s nearly August and we haven’t done it.

No brainer at that price. That's £6m.

Guys don't pin your hopes on Kubo rocking up.

I thought the Kubo rumour has already been binned?

I think we might ‘show an interest’ in Fellows at WBA.

Good to see we've arrived at the "exciting, young, unknown quantity who gets everybody's hopes up but ultimately doesn't sign" part of the window.


Don't do it to yourself, fellas.

Cheap back up left back with loads of potential shows we are thinking ahead if true like

I will be really sad when Myko gets pushed to the bench. It will mean we have improved the starting lineup, but he is good, if not excellent at what he does. He has consistently made some the leagues best wingers look frustrated (Salah, Saka, Kulesevski etc). He boots Saka early every time he plays him, it worked against England and he did it every time after. Caught a few times being weak at the back post undoubtedly.

He’s made innumerable certain goal saving blocks or clearances when Pickford beaten. Played games in injured and needing an op because we had no cover. Played on til half time when very very injured so as not to disrupt things until the break.

He has spoken about how he can’t sleep at all when we are in bother. Could argue that’s hardly an elite
mindset, but it at least shows how much responsibility he takes.

His crosses, when he has space sometimes have a really good pacey, head-height trajectory. He can do it.

His mindset is one of being terrified of doing something bad, rather than desire to do something good. It’s very effective defensively but restricting creatively. It’s also an exhausting and stress-inducing mindset.

I think he’s brilliant. Exactly what we needed in some recent situations. If he is replaced, then c’est la vie; it means he hasn’t been able to adapt his game and mindset and we have a more modern player. Earned every single penny we’ve paid him.

Especially when you factor in what has been happening in his homeland. Probably still got loved ones there.

We brought Bernard, Gomes and Mina in on one deadline day.

Bernard costs virtually nothing and Gomes was a loan. Mina was actually a decent signing but never fit.

Decent this. For that price, fingers crossed we can actually do this one. Incredibly low risk for potentially high reward. Exactly what our transfer strategy should be in the main.

How dare you suggest that this deal is "uncomplicated".

A £6mil fee which could have been triggered on July 1st doesnt sound uncomplicated to me.

Moyes first needs to wait until August so posters can say...

...thats why we waited.

That sounds uncomplicated.

We brought Bernard, Gomes and Mina in on one deadline day.

A halcyon day full of excitement and optimism.

 

[Llyrap]

He fits the profile of a backup LB hopefully this has legs.

Full backs with fully functioning legs would be a refreshing approach.

 

[mahermi1]

Bernard costs virtually nothing and Gomes was a loan. Mina was actually a decent signing but never fit.

Gomes, Bernard first seasons were excellent in my view enjoyed watching both, Mina always seemed to be injured very good centre half when fit, but a tad one paced.

Then consider a bid?

To be fair there isn’t much else to pin your hopes onto currently, unless you want get moist with Moist over the vague possibility of Soucek ( which also probably isn’t happening either)
