Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

What if the strategy is delusional?

To early to tell right now, this is the first opportunity for them to build something. If the strategy is delusional then it will fail. But that can only be judged in time.

Anything positive about Everton= Lie
Anything negative about Everton = True

It's nuts
They are only happy when they are sad

They are Fofana played and scored yesterday

Yup, I was mainly talking about clubs who WANT (or have) to sell a player.

Forfana wants to move, doesn’t want to come to Everton, but has no other offers so will have to stay if there are no other bids, therefore he trains/plays.

Looks like Lyon is using us to get better teams involved and get a bidding war for Fofafa.

Hmm, it sounds like his agent is trying to wish a CL club offer into existence. But if what they’re hearing is “yeah we like your guy but aren’t ready / don’t have space etc” then you could say “club x are interested” but it could also be just a polite no.

Maybe for once it’s not actually us being naive.

Players need to integrate with team mates, learn the tactics, formations etc. To need as many players as we do and be so close to the start of the season is not good enough.
Clearly we need to make our transfer kitty work and get the best quality of player we can, but, a team like ours really needs to be identifying the players that the top teams haven't discovered yet.
Either we get 4 loans and spend budget on 2 quality players. Or drop the expectations, and buy about 4 lesser known players (like Fellows) and get a couple of loans in.

Weather it’s good enough or not is irrelevant, the situation is what it is. I would much rather we wait for the right players than buy players that don’t progress us.

on one hand we all complain that this club never moves forward and then when there is a change in the way we do things we complain about that to.

We don’t know if this strategy is going to pay off, but why not give it a chance to find out.

This is the start of a long road of change it has to start here! I would rather strive for greatness than continue to circle the drain! Strategy requires long term thinking not short term knee jerk panicking!

Wouldn’t amaze me if we see a compromise signing this week, waiting for the right players is admirable but we do have games coming up.

Can see a Brownhill coming in. Even (won’t be popular) a return for the Duke!

Thierno Barry turned down the Champions League to come here.

If you aren't in, you cant win.

This is the way.

Interesting if we enter a second bid, that alone tells you if the players interest is there or not. If we walk away now after one opening offer then yeah he's said not interested

I don't fathom the new narrative that Moyes is flustered and frustrated with the recruitment, the previous day he seemed pretty confident so in the span of one day he's panicked? He knew his squad numbers was lacking before yesterday. Also the whole Moyes is being let down by the recruitment team notion doesn't make sense as going by history and recent comments he seems to be heavily engaged in the process himself.

Tbh mate I reckon the change in attitude might be because that defeat was a lot more than he expected, and embarrassed him. At the end of the day it falls on him as the manager, so perhaps that's why he was a bit quicker to blame his resources. Saying that, he has a point!

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Kinnear in his interview still sounded pretty confident that we'd have a good window. Time will certainly tell..

 

[Simon Buttle]

With MGW now staying at Forest i wonder what that means for the McAtee situation?

wtf

 

[MACCA75]

wtf

Was a bit of bait that one.

Brownhill wouldn’t be the end of the world right now mind.

Off to Spurs..?

By the way no Journalist or Itk is responsible for us not buying players or completing deals
That's on our recruitment.
Most are directing their anger towards people printing stories and links. They aint the issue.
