Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Excitement, joy, tepid optimism, ambivalence, acceptance, annoyance, despair, anger, bargaining, begrudging acceptance, more anger, despondence.

In that order.

The Twelve Stages of GriEFC.

It's called the Kubo-Ross (Barkley) model.

Yeah I should’ve specified the 2014 version of Di Maria.

It's very important to speak clearly and specifically when putting one's knob on the line. I've learned that the hard way.

Now let’s go and sign rodrygo and Isak

Seeing is believing Dave. I've seen what they have done at their other team in a far less commercially viable league. There is zero reason to believe we are second fiddle to them.

Seeing what they did at Roma is no guideline to how they'll approach this club.

There's usually one principal club in multi-club ownership.

Until such time as we see TFG investing in our team the way they have at Roma the smart money is on viewing Everton as a subsidiary they can exploit.

Anyone who trusts this lot with zero evidence to bring to the table that they'll push us forward rather than keep us upright and used for Roma needs to have a word with themselves.

Can you explain "used for Roma" please.

In what context would Everton benefit Roma.

Where do you get your tinfoil from Dave? Must be cheap the rate you go through it.

One of the first things they've done is tie down our biggest asset for the next few years rather than cash in for a quick profit.

You'll see. It's early days.

You should for now just focus on how TFG "benefit" Everton...

Handing another contract to a player like that is to get a bigger fee when he is sold...which wont be that long.

I have my suspicions about him staying behind from the trip to the US.

Dont think trust is the right word is more that as a fanbase all of us cautious because what has happend here. But at the same time got to have hope becuase if you dont what is the point.

You're actually suggesting that he is being sold weeks after signing a new contract. You really are terrible at this trolling thing. Away you go for at least 6months. You used to be much better at this.

Yeah, I thought you might say that.

So basically their behaviour is completely indistinguishable from someone with the best interests of the club at heart. You’re an absolute loon.

All they'll ensure is that we dont fall through the trapdoor. I think most people feel that way too and accept it as the best we can do these days.

We've fallen to that level as a fanbase.
