Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

We were promised signingS

More than one. So no we weren’t.

I mean we were promised absolutely nothing to be fair.

I have no faith in this recruitment team. They do not have a clue what they are doing.

Wish you’d have spoken up before now mate

Classic Everton stunt to deceive fans that there's a glut of players coming in to get on top of criticism: throwing in fantasy bids in for players we have no real expectation of buying / getting on loan.

Why did people expect better?

That is 150% not what happened is it, you silly goose?

The RS want £20m according to TheAthletic

Pay it - he’s young, a full international & he’s an actual right sided midfielder/winger.

We have 7 days to get one in, if a RM/RW is missing by game 1 it’s a huge fail IMO

This summer is giving me a similar stink of when we panic bid 28mil on Alex Iwobi, not a nice whiff. Secure a winger ASAP Everton before we get screwed over.

Buy plenty of overpriced beverages tomorrow and a new bid goes in for Dibling .. but seriously £7.05 for San Miggy

The release clause was at first £40 million, we bid £35 million. Soton said no.

The release then went to £45 million, we bid £35 million plus £8 million add ons. Soton said no.

The release then went to £50 million plus 25% of any profit on a future sale.

Everton didnt increase their bid.

Pretty sure a release clause is something agreed on with all parties - players, agents and club - so don’t think that can be changed without consent. More likely there isn’t a clause involved, just the selling clubs hope/expectation changing

We wasn't no.

Mr Moyes did say though "elite players for an elite stadium".

As it stands we officially move to our new stadium and how many new elite players do we have?

(I count we have 3 prior to the summer and still have 3 now).

Do we go all out for Doak now, abandoning the Dibling deal?

Or do we hold out for Dibling, and miss out on Doak... or potentially both?

Never knew you felt this way? , until now you've seemed very content with the recruitment process

But your whole argument is about how Liverpool have done that with Isak meaning Newcastle may accept a lower price.

Firstly, very similar has happened in the Dibling situation. But there’s no way of knowing prior to that situation playing out whether saints would accept lower or not.

And for all intents and purposes, there is nothing to suggest Newcastle will accept less than their valuation as no deal has been done for Isak and they remain clear they don’t want to sell and would only sell for £150m.

We literally tried what you said we should be doing, even though your example of another team doing it hasn’t even worked at this point.

Well let’s look at what’s happened so far.

We make our first bid of whatever it was £25m when at the time Southampton were suggesting £40m would do it and we have creeped up ever since. This is a trend in the wrong direction.

Liverpool have signed the striker Newcastle wanted in Ekitike and then manipulated it so Newcastle have gone from saying Isak isn’t for sale to £150m. This is a trend in the right direction…

I have some sympathy with Moyes and the recruitment team trying to bring in a high value RW - it isn't easy as Newcastle are repeatedly finding out.

However the inability to bring in either a PL standard RB is nothing short of disgraceful.

The buy back deal LFC are putting in is ridiculous that's what made us withdraw in the first place if you read the rumours if he shines for us we only make 10 million profit something as stupid as that .... it sounds cheap but if he stars for us they get him back for peanuts .....

£4mil for a keeper no one else including his own club wanted

£9mil buyout clause for a 3rd choice LB that the manager didnt seem thrilled about.

£12mil option on a deal done by the previous DOF

£27.5mil++ which will end up being the release clause of a 2nd choice CF.

£25-30mil for a midfielder his club wanted to sell.


The Everton masterclass.
