    You won't find me disagreeing mate

    He can play as a 10, yep, but his best football has always been on the left

    Yep, but you don't pay the best part of £40m for Fofana and play him on the right when he's barely ever played there nor can Grealish really expect to be played anywhere other than the left, so yeah Ndiaye can probably play as the number 10 but we aren't spending loads of dough on both Fofana...

    He's talking about Grealish, which is still being mooted as his most likely destination on the City forums etc Doesn't tally with the Fofana interest though

    Quick? Alright, he'd probably beat McNeil in a race, but that doesn't make him quick.

    Don't agree with this at all tbh mate. Attacking player are more expensive and we've had no money for years along with being a pretty grim proposition for a player. Elanga, Gyokeres, etc - we've been trying to sign attacking players as much as any other area, but nobody would join us and even...

    There's a combination of that plus not wanting to overpay. Balancing act. We may not get him, but he's the sort of player who would make a big difference to our level

    Loan for Iroegbunam makes a lot of sense and having it teed up now also makes sense, but we'd have to sign a new centre mid before we could actually allow it to go though

    Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

    Yeah, I'd be really surprised at that. Moyes actually said "9 or 10" according to a couple of tweets I've seen, so I expect that has to be including the 3 we've already signed Right back, left back, 2 x centre mid, 2 x winger and then maybe another option at number 10 or back up striker

    New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

    Dave, I'm not entirely sure what you thought was going to happen here. We wanted the best deal we could get and as a result whoever is paying is going to want the most brand-recognition they can get for their money. And it's not like this is a new thing

    The lad from Boro would be an absolutely tremendous signing. I know signing players from the Championship is a bit underwhelming at times, but he's the best I've seen at that level since I saw Olise play for Reading.

    The lack of links is unsettling, I'll admit. I refuse to wet the bed as much as some, but I'll admit that I'd expected more by now.

    Yeah, that team they had was Champions League standard Di Maria, Saviola, Ramires, Pablo Aimar, David Luiz, Javi Garcia who ended up at City I think, Luisao who played 40 odd times for Brazil, Fabio Coentrao who went on to play for Real Madrid - weakest player in the team was probably the...

    We will have to agree to disagree here, because I think that's the blue-tinted glasses. Players want to play at the highest level possible (and be paid as much as they can). Forest are in Europe, we finished 13th. If you're a footballer, I would expect that European football trumps a new...

    Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

    A lot of the time that can't be helped. It's great to get deals over the line quickly, but ultimately the better deals get done late in the window when prices drop and other deals are done so the domino effect happens. Our problem, of course, is that we need more players than usual and that...

    Why? He might be our number one target, but take your blue-tinted glasses off and ask yourself why a player would currently fancy a move to Everton over Nottingham Forest?

    Yep, I've no issue with slowish playmaker types in wide areas. It's pretty much how he set us up last time he was here. The issue is that you've got to have full backs who can overlap and deliver the ball and we currently don't have them on either side. That being the case, it's probably almost...
