Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[mahermi1]

I did mate, I said its not great for a 38 game season, nor is it gonna be doing a dent to the better teams in the league, which is why we 1000% need more players.

My only point is that there are 5 weeks left to do that, not 3.

Lend me some of you're Valium Goat.

Lend me some of you're Valium Goat.

I just always expect the worst, whats the worst that can happen, well we dont buy players till late in the window and we lose every game we play for a month or 2.

So I expect that, if it doesnt happen im over the moon, if it happens, well, I told myself.

Everton add Dibling to list of targets​

Everton have added the Southampton teenager Tyler Dibling to their list of targets as they look to strengthen their options on the flanks (Paul Joyce writes).
The asking price for the 19-year-old could be a stumbling block with Everton’s summer budget needing to be spread accordingly to bring David Moyes’s squad up to strength.
A deal is not imminent
Recruiting in wide areas has been a priority for Moyes this summer, but there has been frustration in the market thus far, with the club losing out to Juventus for their first-choice option Francisco Conceição, 22, in a €30.4million deal (£26.5million) from FC Porto.
Johan Bakayoko, 22, opted to move to RB Leipzig from PSV Eindhoven with Jürgen Klopp, head of global soccer at the Red Bull group, speaking to the player during negotiations. His move cost a total of €22million.
Interest in Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo, 24, also hit the buffers due to the Liga side’s asking price.
The ages of Conceição and Bakayoko, together with their fees, offer an indication of the business Everton are trying to do this summer — recruiting players on an upward trajectory as opposed to spending £50million for example on a single talent.
Dibling scored four goals in 43 appearances for Southampton last season, but their manager, Will Still, is hoping he will remain at St Mary’s as he attempts to lead the club back to the top flight.
Everton have already brought in Charly Alcaraz from Flamengo after a successful loan move in the second half of last season, Thierno Barry from Villarreal and Mark Travers from Bournemouth for a combined outlay of about £45million.
However, given so many players were allowed to leave at the end of last season, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Abdoulaye Doucouré and Ashley Young, Moyes’s squad remains thin.
There is an expectation at the club that recruitment will run right to the very end of the transfer window, which closes on September 1, with Everton having arrived in the US for the Premier League Summer Series with a number of youngsters to make up the squad size.
They included Tyler Onyango, 22, who is set to join Stockport County on loan but was needed for the tournament, which begins with a game against Bournemouth on Saturday before matches versus West Ham United and Manchester United.
Jarrad Branthwaite, who signed a new contract this summer, is absent with a minor injury.



You can lock this now lads.

If that story is accurate then we are in big trouble

Saw a link of Christian Eriksen to Wrexham. Still has class and knows the PL.
Surely we can match wages if we are that short of a full squad.

why would they have to set up a company to buy us mate?

A holding company is often used in football club acquisitions to manage risk, protect assets, and potentially offer tax advantages. By structuring the ownership through a holding company, the financial and legal liabilities of the club can be isolated from other assets or businesses owned by the same individual or group.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Risk Management and Asset Protection:

• Limited Liability:
  A holding company acts as a separate legal entity, limiting the liability of its owners in case the football club faces financial difficulties or legal issues.
  
  
• Asset Shielding:
  Valuable assets of the club, such as the stadium, training facilities, or intellectual property, can be held by the holding company, protecting them from creditors or potential losses if the club itself encounters problems.
  
  
• Separation of Concerns:
  The holding company can manage the club's finances and investments, while the football club itself focuses on its core operations, like playing matches and managing the team.
  

2. Tax Advantages:

• Consolidation of Profits and Losses:
  Holding companies can consolidate profits and losses across multiple subsidiaries, potentially reducing overall taxable income.
  
  
• Tax Optimization:
  They can also take advantage of different tax rates in various jurisdictions, potentially leading to tax savings.
  
  
• Transfer of Assets:
  Holding companies can be structured to facilitate the transfer of assets (like real estate) between different entities, potentially optimizing tax implications.
  

3. Other Reasons:

• Fundraising and Investment:
  Holding companies can be used to raise capital for the club through various investment vehicles.
  
  
• Multi-Club Ownership:
  Holding companies can own shares in multiple football clubs, potentially creating synergies and strategic advantages.
  
  
• Complex Ownership Structures:
  Holding companies can be part of complex ownership structures, making it harder to trace the ultimate beneficial owners, which can be a concern for regulatory bodies.
  

In summary: While not always necessary, a holding company structure offers a range of potential benefits, particularly in terms of risk management, asset protection, and tax optimization, when acquiring a football club. However, it's crucial to understand that such structures can also be complex and require careful legal and financial planning.

And in my very humble opinion, we have a team more than good enough to beat Leeds.

We lost Doucs and added Barry.

We finished last season in fine form, sure the squad isnt good enough to challenge for 38 games, but its more than good enough to beat the teams we play in August, hence im baffled why everybody is losing their god damn heads.

The window closes on 1st September, that has and will remain the deadline.

We get one or two injuries before Leeds and we're in huge trouble.

When have we ever started a season with a fully fit squad

It's like in the Benitez season we kept being told we would be fine when we have a fully fit squad. I dont think it happened once.

 

[blulouie]

Apparently wants to joins us.

A simple Yes Mr Moyes would suffice .

 

[Delargeinho]

Kubo release clause is €60m - can imagine Sociedad playing hardball as they owe Real Madrid a bit chunk of sell on fee.

welcome back Jack Harrison

Jep, they are not easy to negotiate with. However, release clauses are always mandatory in any case. Asking price is around 30-35m. I know from local sources here in Basque that there are talks between Everton and Sociedad, but also other clubs being interested in Kubo, but I can't tell how far the process is.

Also, Moshiri or Kenwright’s holding company for Everton was True Blue Holdings.

We are Tim.

 

[DuncansPigeons]

It still staggers me to see people wanting us to lash money around indiscriminately. It’s as if the Moshiri years didn’t happen and we were boss after spunking money on Tosun, Bolasie, Ramirez, Gbamin etc

Unlike previous years, there’s money to spend, we have bought 3 players already for about £40 million and we will bring players in more players. If they take their time to get the best deals then so be it
