Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Neiler]

Frustrating to see us struggling to compete with Forest like. They have literally had one good season in the last 30 years.

They will go back in for him to mate, they just dropped about 35-40 mill on a winger no one heard off.

Time to get busy Everton.

Little progress other than the young left back.

How long until we approach Leeds for Jack Harrison?

Good post

This is why we’re not getting any of the following players as things stand:

Dougie Luiz - on big wages - Juventus won’t accept dry loan / so mandatory fee is €38m after 12mths

Malick Fofana - Lyon wants €40m+ but it’s not the fee it’s his agents Roc Nation wanting him to join a bigger club and the hard place we’re not in Europe let along UCL.

Takefusa Kubo - Sociedad don’t want to sell and but if they did would want close to his €60m release clause as Real Madrid get 50% sell on of any profit.

Shortly after Jack Grealishoff.

Yeah not for me this one, don't think he is worth anywhere even close to the figures being quoted.

I think you have to invest in the player they could be also though, Pickford probably wasn’t worth the guts of 30 mill when we signed him, 8 years on - that’s a snip - wonderful service and no one even thinks of the fee.

There are long term and short term signings, you go big in investment or you go short - this strikes me as the former.

Your 'sauces' said yesterday that there was no plans to talk to Sociedad?

I think Luiz will go to Forest. McAtee to us.

Really?

I think we’ll get both of em

 

[bluestevon]

Simply put Mcatee is an absolutely perfect player for Moyes and the system Moyes wants to play, he's a great transitional player, brilliant technically and hard working.

Sorry but I just don't rate him, he either comes in and plays on the RW (he isn't good enough and he is too slow to play there) or he will take the Alcaraz position and tbh I think Charley will be a better player long term.

For the above reason .. we ain’t paying €55-60m for him - so discussions ain’t happening

Completely disagree mate, I like Alcarez but Mcatee is a very special player just needing to be the focal point of a side

 

[Richard Alex]

Approx £30m gets McAtee - he would be keen to join us according to reports but it’s whether we stump up the cash to get him.

Forest being in Europe might be a bigger draw ..

Don’t care if Forest in Europe or not, Everton will always be a bigger draw. If a player chooses Forest over us well it’s more fool them!!

There is nothing I have seen about him or looking at any of his numbers that suggest a 'special player' quite the opposite in fact. Do you think if he was it would be us, Forest and West Ham in for him?

Yet absolutely nobody was in for Alcarez whatsoever - so he must t be very good by that logic?

We signed Lukaku and nobody else was interested mate, same when we brought in Arteta and others.

This logic is a bit warped. Do you not rate Gibbs-White either? Because it was only us and Forest in for him at the time. What about Eze, it was only Palace and West Ham in for him at the time I think?
