Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

I dunno, there were reports in the media that at one point the contract offer had been withdrawn so maybe when he'd had his latest obligatory long spell on the sidelines the club reassessed and made him an offer on more realistic wages. I don't suppose we'll know unless DCL or someone from the club speaks about it.

Football players, never, ever, speak about money. Unless it's about buying their mum a house or similar. Boy scout stuff.

I reckon Moyes might fancy a punt on Lennon Miller from Motherwell.

I rate him. Could turn out to be a great player in midfield.

Copared to Queen Elizabeth....did she have fancy hair and giant calves?

You’d have to ask Lampard!

So, Doucoure and DCL have just been paid another 4 weeks salary by Everton for basically being unwanted? I can’t help but feel this might upset a few people.
In case anybody is wondering, that’s appx £1m. Probably why we are not getting players in early to save on the wages.

It’s how the new rules work, maybe doucoure has a contact with a new club he will sign in August the 1st for 80k a week, so why wouldn’t he wait till august so he picks up £120k from Everton for July

Benoit Assou-Ekotto "I don't understand why everybody lies. The president of my former club Lens, Gervais Martel, said I left because I got more money in England, that I didn't care about the shirt. I said: 'Is there one player in the world who signs for a club and says, Oh, I love your shirt?' Your shirt is red. I love it. He doesn't care. The first thing that you speak about is the money.

"Martel said I go to England for the money but why do players come to his club? Because they look nice? All people, everyone, when they go to a job, it's for the money. So I don't understand why, when I said I play for the money, people were shocked. Oh, he's a mercenary. Every player is like that."

A couple of pages up mate.

If he signs a contract for less then what Everton were paying him we would make up the shortfall @PeregrineT? So, he’s effectively losing nothing financially in signing for another club, it’s very possible he’s not got a deal lined up at all anymore, it’s probably just as possible he’s waiting until nearer the end of the window to choose his next club.

So in other words, Doucoure and DCL not being signed to collect additional wages is nonsense.

They arent signed because no one wants to pay what they want. Rule 19.2 clearly says that after their contract expires on July 1st, A. The club pays them one additional month of their normal wage. B. If they sign with anyone within that month, for LESS than the club is paying them, the club makes up the difference.

So whether they sign, or dont sign, they get paid the exact same money. They gain absolutely nothing by waiting a month to sign with a new club.

 

[Neiler]

The equivalent of a Kanchelskis type signing now would be virtually impossible for us. Lukaku joining us was probably the closest since and that was when we were European regulars. There’s just no universe now where one of the best wingers in the league with good goal and assist numbers playing for a CL team decides to come and join bottom half Everton in their prime.

Grealish, maybe……
