Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

At least nobody’s overreacting.

There's no excuse for any more delays to recruitment. Back the manager and bring in players.

 

[BackRow PE6]

Moyes has been crystal clear on what the issues are. I’m glad we are targeting players who have better options than us. They won’t all work out, but the ones who do will improve us no end. Might be time to bring in the second choice RW and RB though, assuming they have them lined up

Not sure im being serious about what?

Moyes crap transfer record...for how long, a decade? Its crap.

Hammond is a failed Swindon keeper. What qualifies him as a super deal negotiator? Show me what huge deals he's put together.

I have put together bigger deals than him.

Whose signed off on £4mil for a backup keeper no one wanted?

You're preferred option is that we retained Thelwell who, using this logic, is a failed Congleton Town player.

Well that was awful ... again.
Moyes has spelt it out loud and clear that we are not an attractive proposition. So let's stop wasting time on Luiz, Grealish, Fofana, Kubo, McAtee - none of them are coming to this s**tshow.
18 days until Leeds and we need at least 5, but probably as many as 8 or 9 players. FFS!
It’s high time we changed tack and move for players for whom Everton would be a step up and who don’t have expectations of getting a move to a glamour club. Fellows, Hamer, Jason Knight, Maitland Niles, Vagiannidis (if still available), are all players we’ve been linked with. And available for fees under £15.0m apparently. Or they were a few weeks ago – the selling clubs have got us by the short and curlies at this late stage so they’ll squeeze us for more than we should be paying and every day we dither the prices will go up.
Out of contract players would move to us – definitely we should go for Eriksen, and possibly Brownhill, Coufal or Semedo.
And hopefully add a couple of up and coming young players from Eastern Europe, South America, Asia, Africa to give us some hope for the future.

He’s towards the end of his career. He’s got 2 years left on this contract. If the structure isn’t right (for him or otherwise) and he’s not happy with it then he’s got less to gamble career wise, being outspoken, thank he would have previously.
Kinnear didn’t choose him so no need for loyalty.
He’s not the first manager to call people out and won’t be the last. We need players in, end of. That’s not his job to get them in.

 

[Zatara]

He's doesn't...so much so he refused to celebrate a 94th winners against Forest.

Something I'll never let them forget as long as am on this forum.

As opposed to some celebrating and claiming Doucoure was one of our best players?

Nothing to do with the manager or Moyes, a dead rubber.

Do you celebrate wins in preseason too?

Its a risk whether we wait or roll the dice on players down the list.

Im at the point now where i wonder how long the list even is because there seems to be a lack of anything.

A bit different as Thelwell has a track record in management.

I dont know what Hammonds track record is. Dont think hes even an employee?

Seems to be an 'outsourced negotiator'

Bit of a movie title.

The manager seems to be overreacting too in this case.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Armstrong will still get game time. Have you noticed how poor our midfield options are?

Brownhill wouldn't be a massive upgrade. I'd rather be patient and see if we can get someone like Douglas Luiz over the line before panic signings

 

[T LEAFE]

We are missing Jack Harrison

 

[Moomin]

Lots of issues out there

'I was promised!' - Oliver Glasner fumes at Crystal Palace's transfer business as FA Cup winners fight to keep Arsenal target Eberechi Eze | Goal.com UK

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is furious with the club's transfer activity as speculation rumbles on about Eberechi Eze's future.

Makes everything so much better for us now.

Can you get a similar story up about Fulham so we can really feel how lucky we are as a team.

He would be a massive upgrade on Tim Iroegbunam. We need more than 1 central midfielder. We need a minimum of 2 and I actually would prefer 3 adding Brownhill on a free. Our best midfielder is 36 and his legs could go at any point in the season.

Moyes wouldn’t be talking about bringing in 7 / 8 / 9 if they didn’t have an idea what that looked liked - it’s not in his make up to bullshit. Loan signings I imagine are lined up already but won’t happen till the death. Second choices they will be confident with. If riding out a few more weeks to get our first choices in is needed then so be it

He’d better get a move on and bring some players in then

He sounds like he wants the recruitment team to do exactly that tbf.
