Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[JobForTheMoyes]

Despite this pathetic 3300 pages( including myself there), the fanbase is the only positive thing about Everton at the moment. The new owners are invisible. They may turn out to be good businessmen but they do zero to show us they actually "care" about the entity that is Everton and the fanbase. If they think a shiny stadium is going to keep everyone happy they have completely misread the room. Moyes has aged since the end of last season. Something is not right between him and ownership and possibly some of the players. If he really doesnt fancy Barry, why is he the only forward we bought all summer after publically calling out Beto? As bad as we were last night, it was a lot of the same team that scored goals last season and looked like they enjoyed playing. The preseason was an unmitigated disaster...headi ng off to the US to showcase Everton completely backfired...played awful and the manager whinged the whole time. I dont even have the energy to debate who we should sign...noone with other EPL options would think this is a place to be right now, hope that can change. It will only change when we look better on the field, are not set up with right footed left backs and midfielders who cant pass and a sulking center forward. For me, time for Moyse to show hes a good manager and get what he has playing better, as he did last season. Ti.e for the owners to demand better from all involved and show they give AF.

I doubt Barry is an issue. The issue is the lack of signings to give the squad some level of depth. The good thing is the problems at the moment have made it plain to see rather than occurring before the window is closed.

Branthwaite getting injured could be a blessing in disguise as it will inject some urgency. Leeds were able to change the game after running their players into the ground by making so many subs.

So, to save me reading the last 35 pages, I take it there's no links and nothing is happening

Correct.

Some pathetic stuff in here and the TFG thread today. Last night was really poor but to be calling for the head of the manager and owner/board...

People had naive, unrealistic ideas about this summer and how it was going to go. The ineptitude of the previous regime left us in a position of needing to sign 10 players in one window. 100% we could have filled out the squad with mediocre players by now and had a full squad available for the opening game of the season. All that would be doing though would be restarting the previous cycle.

The hold up is coming down to us having a standard of player we want to bring in, and sticking to that. It's frustrating, we look woefully underprepared for the season which has now already begun. But get real, we are not an easy sell atm and despite what some people seemingly think we are defo still limited by PSR in what we are able to spend. What we've been told is that we are taking the necessary time to land the targets we actually want, that are actually good enough to improve us. If we manage that, even if we have a poor start to the season, in the end looking at the bigger picture it will be worth it.

Moyes bottled it last night, but he has credit in the bank. TFG and the recruitment team - it's their first window, they have very openly asked to be judged on deadline day. Personally I'm not happy about it, but given that's what they have said that's what I'm going to do. If you're crying and throwing your toy's out the pram after the first game of the season I'm sorry to say that you're being an idiot. If deadline day comes and we still don't have the players in then by all means throw a tantrum then. Until then though could people just relax with the doom-mongering. We're 1 game into the season and its already exhausting to read this forum.

Its all very well that we have standards for the players we supposedly want but why on earth would they want to be coming to Everton right now? It is still part of our delusions of grandeur...

During last night’s match found myself thinking “Sure could use Ashley Young right now…”

That’s how messed up the RB situation is.

 

[Miked1e]

So we have 8 working days left of the transfer window... clearly our recruitment doesn't bother outside of this.

Realistically how many are people expecting in?

We need minimum 3 and more like 5 with 3 of these being players going straight into the 1st team!

My expectations are we will get 1 done next week (whatever this is).... and 2-3 most likely on loan on transfer deadline day! Scrambling around as usual!

People are naive and unrealistic? We are a Premier League club that went into their first game with apparently no fit players for THREE positions!
30% of the outfield positions we just decided nah don’t need them. We’re always safe so who needs the first 3 or 6 or 9 points? Not us.

 

[preposterousvelios]

“Relax, everything will be fine, there’s still 2 weeks of the window left” is more exhausting to read than anything else to be honest with you.

They’ve asked to be judged at the end of the window and they sure as hell will be. To which we’ll be met with a response of “the market is just too difficult for little old us ” and the ostrich’s will go on to lap that up as well like they do with every other party line that they get fed from the bluffers in charge.

It’s embarrassing to see what has become of this fanbase. Absolutely no standards or accountability whatsoever. Stuck in a crap malaise where everything is alright and ticking along nicely as long as we don’t get relegated.

Yeah it is embarrassing what's happened to this fanbase. We've had a period of horrible management running the club into the ground, and it's turned us into a bunch of panic-stricken, cry-arsing babies.

You might think that anyone who disagrees with you is happy 'as long as we don't get relegated', but you would be wrong. Its not a binary where everything is either perfect or terrible. I'm not happy with the current squad, but i still have hope that we address it before the end of the window.

Internet is just a miserable place these days tbh. Everyone thinks they know everything. This forum and another non football related forum that I use feel like they're rapidly turning into twitter/reddit where it's just the loudest people with the most extreme opinions dominating conversation in every thread and boring everyone to death.

I genuinely think Jack Harrison will become a serious option at the start of next week.

 

[brittcop1]

He's been fired. He's gotten a team relegated. He's not above being fired for cause.

The squad is not that bad and won't be by the end of the window. It's still a bit thin. The frustrating thing for me is that he doesn't think RB is a priority, which I'm not sure I could disagree with any more than I do. Certainly with the way he wants to play, a 6'6" CB is not suited to RB.

Relax, that is why we gave Seamus a new contract..Hes a right back Just give him a few more weeks to finish stretching and he will be back in training in no time

 

[Ring master]

Seems that the leaks have been plugged.

Nothing from bobble, not even team leaks.

He has well been cut off.

Everything suposedly staying behind his paywall, with nothing said on twitter. But dont worry if something happens, his mate will post it to show Bobble was right etc, despite saying nothing will be said Someone as a few days ago can easily just say on here what he said there

 

[brittcop1]

You bring up some valid points, there is way too much speculation when it comes to transfers, we honestly dont know he gets offered what etc. What we DO know is what we watched in the first half last night with our own eyes...the performance, team selection and lack of cohesiveness cant be blamed on keyboard warriors.

Screw it. I’m about as desperate as a fat chick at last call. Bring him in.

I quite like lots of meat on the bone, more cushion for the pushin'

I doubt Barry is an issue. The issue is the lack of signings to give the squad some level of depth. The good thing is the problems at the moment have made it plain to see rather than occurring before the window is closed.

Branthwaite getting injured could be a blessing in disguise as it will inject some urgency. Leeds were able to change the game after running their players into the ground by making so many subs.

But we had depth yesterday...McNeil for Garner, Barry for Beto...Grealish on the bench until 70th minute...Keane was not the problem. JOB is not a natural CB just because he looks like he should be.
