Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


I think 'Europe' is just a lazy way of saying Champions League and, to a lesser extent, Europa. I think there's some merit to the argument that if two clubs on a similar level are after the same player then 'European' football may give one of them the edge, even if only because it could put them in a bigger shop-window for the future.
That's what i'm saying really. There's nothing new or strange about us not being able to attract players who are also wanted by the very biggest clubs, that's just the way it works and isn't an excuse for not bringing players in - the same thing has always applied and applies to every other club in the world. Nobody expects the recruitment team to convince players they'd be better off coming here than going to PSG, but if they can't convince them they'd be better off coming here than Forest for example then that's a failing on their part, as is failing to understand our place in the market and plan accordingly.
 
I think Barry and Aznou need until Dec because thats when games come thick and fast. You'd expect to see 'something' from the foreign players by then, even if they dont adapt fully for a season.

But what you've read smells of someones tongue being inside David Moyes.

He cant do any wrong apparently...despite throwing our first game of the season and wasting a lot of money this window.

It also smells of someone who was in awe of Doucoure.

Weird theres been no incomings this week.

A huge gamble.
We definitely need some players who can make an impact now, particularly on our right side. Whilst I feel sorry for Moyes to some degree, the transfer committee idea is clearly a bad one, he hasn't helped himself, however, with some of his public comments. His comments today, for example, that we've moved on to players who "can do a job for us" after we've failed to attract our primary targets sends a dreadful message to prospective signings and their agents. The whole thing is a mess and nobody is coming out of it with any distinction, in my opinion.
 


Moyes playbook. Lower expectations.

We'll be inconsistent until December, players will bed. Go on a run from Jan. Finish 8th.
If that happens there not one true Everton fan who wouldn’t be happy.

What position would be acceptable to anyone who wouldn’t be happy with 8th.

We’ve been diabolical on a backwards trajectory since he left and now all of a sudden this squad is too good for 8th?
 
Proper sick of moyes cryarsing now.

If your targets aren’t interested or want Europe then move on to another target, you surely should have a shortlist/longlist of suitable players per positions ffs, or have we got zero idea of what the feck we are doing…..
Yeah, it's fine if its in house but telling the world and more importantly our fans that we're not very special and nobody any good wants to play for our team in a season of our 'new era' is just so miserable.
