Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[ZissouBlue]

Typically I’d be very against signing Brownhill because I feel like the focus needs to be on improving our starting eleven to actually improve, but the fact that he’s on a free makes me soften on that. And I’m a bit worried that Gana could pick up some injuries as he gets older, especially with AFCON. Our depth has been so embarrassing for several seasons now. If Brownhill on a free allows us to invest more in a holding midfielder on a perm, I’m for it.

What exactly do the chuckle brothers know exactly?

My god it’s painful listening to these have a conversation. Takes them about an hour to complete a sentence.

If Dyche had us a few points clearer than we were when they arrived Moyes would never have been back here at Everton and we'd now have TFG preferred manager in charge.

You have to assume that Moyes knows he's on borrowed time here unless he gets us top half.

If my auntie had a pair of balls, she’d be my uncle.

Dyche gave up and manufactured his own dismissal, so your opening sentence is completely irrelevant.

Ps - I do love the way you set completely different standards for different managers, dependant on whatever weird agenda you’re pursuing.

They love Alan Myers. They always sing his praises, so they will be taking his word as gospel, I'd imagine.

They love his willingness to communicate and want him in that sort of role for Everton again, but they don't take his opinion as gospel

By the end of this one.

possibly yeah.

Fofana would want to move on within 2 seasons.

If he plays boss and moves on for a big profit, that's fine with me

 

[ZissouBlue]

By the end of this one.

Yeah I’d guess he’d be here one season. Which if we make a profit would be fine, but the club and fans should be clear eyed about it. I’m guessing we’ve totally moved on from him, but it’d be exciting if not.

I think I lasted about a minute before switching it off.

He was on 45k/week in the Championship, and this is his last big contract. He won't be cheap, he won't be making squad player money.

I believe the recruitment team are eyeing up another keeper.

I think we have to accept that for the next 2 - 3 season we need to be selling on players for big profit to help close the gap on the Top 6.

Moyes himself wants us to get top half because he wants Everton to do well. He's not thinking about his job security at all
That's the difference between him and Dyche, and why Dyche didn't have those imaginary points you're imagining

 

[Igrok]

….have to say, I thought this lad was a hugely overestimated and couldn’t believe City bought him, never mind paying what they did for him.

He'd be our top score without a shadow of a doubt.

Of course, the clever people on here were laughing about shouts to bring him here 2 years ago. They know best I suppose...

Chris Da Wood would easily outscore all Everton strikers combined this year…

 

[bluestevon]

The answer for a club which had ambitions of really pushing upwards to who out of Fofana or Dibling is simple, you'd sign both.

Yeah at his age and the fact that’s he’s on a free you might be absolutely right. For what’s it’s worth I’d rather just give that spot to Armstrong, but I also won’t be complaining if it happens.
