Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[DualityNSNO]

Not just that for me cm aswell dont think anyone has really really taken advantage this pre season in the US.

Yeah, I said it yesterday too (so about 700 pages back) - we need at the very least a RB, RW and a CM.

Armstrong's had a good showing, but Tim has been quite poor imho.

I haven't seen the need to panic or wet the bed ......until now.

No one can deny that this has been a terrible transfer window so far bearing in mind the number of players that we needed to give the manager a competitive squad.

The only conclusion that I can draw is that we have been unrealistic in our expectations of who we thought we could bring in and / or how much that type of player would cost in terms of fee and wages.

We appear to be left with no alternative but to immediately pivot and go after players who we know will want to play for Everton.

Time is running out and at a minimum we need a RB , RW, CM ( perhaps x 2 ) plus back up defender and striker.

Time to earn your salaries recruitment team

We've already signed 4 players though and it's only July

We all know he is called dithering Dave.

I certainly think he has a part to play in our disastrous summer transfer window.

It’s the same everywhere he goes.

Very grateful for Moyes saving us last season but I cannot disagree with any of your statement

We've four in before the turn of July, we're down the road it seems on a few with the likes of Fofana, McAtee and Grealsih live.

Next deadline to work toward is the start of the PL.

We'll be grand.

If we signed prime Messi some on here would still find fault with him.

PL stats are poor, no goals, no assists.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Few more months, maybe we can convince Leeds to part with Harrison for £25m in January.

Why do you persist with the Harrison posts?

Probably can't even do it on a cold rainy night at Stoke.

Hand on heart I would be staggered if we brought in any of Grealish, McAtee, Fofana or Luiz.

Why do you persist with the Harrison posts?

Because it's dead funny due to Everton persisting to be crap, and absolutely nobody would be surprised if it actually happened.

 

[chippy1722]

So is it now hitting home that we have no right winger or right back at the very least, or do we need a few more games so it's more obvious?

To be fair, we do have a right back he’s just covering CB at the moment. I’d be happy to replace 8 of our first 11. Only Ndiaye, Branthwaite and Pickford Id be sad to see go.

I suppose question is, would it be worth it with all this time wasted if we get ONE of Fofana, McAtee, Luiz or Grealish and then sign five average players to make up the numbers?

 

[milks]

I think we are either not matching valuations or giving the players the weekly wage they want

I think Everton are not the most attractive proposition for many of these players and they are quite rightly considering all options before committing their future. I don't think wages or fees are the issue here. We're not going to be low balling clubs or agents.

Luiz, Fofana - both want to play in European competitions and will probably hold out in the hope that the opportunity presents.
McAtee - if we are interested, he will want to ensure that he has considered all options before choosing his next club

 

[ToffeeTim]

Why are people so sure things are going well and on track, when our own manager clearly thinks the opposite ?

 

[Neiler]

Hand on heart I would be staggered if we brought in any of Grealish, McAtee, Fofana or Luiz.

If there wasn't a chance mate, we'd have moved on and we would have seen different links.

All four of them id say are waiting.

Do we blink and move down the list or stay in the race..........thats holding the tension and thats what we have a management team for to make those decsions.

Doucoure must be having a little smile to himself now.
