Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[RinkyDinker]

There's absolutely no chance of that. Moyes will do something with McNeil. One of our most talented players.

It’s mad to think back how good he was for us at left back, given he was was a natural centre half! absolutely rampaging down the left, still probably one of the biggest (pleasant) surprises in recent years, kind of superb signings that we used to deliver regularly, yet possibly still one of the last ones we did bring in at real value. Insane to think how someone unleashed Moshiri with funds, only after Moyes had gone. I’ve only just got out of rehab yesterday after we paid £28m for Bolasie

Id agree with all of that. id just say though, I think he may prefer Harrison to McNeil.

I think he will see Mcneil abit like Osman. A steady player who occasionally comes up with a bit of pure magic. I'll always remember Ozzie scoring that last minute screamer against Portsmouth. I think it may of been the season we qualified for the champions league

I just think Harrison is more Osman like.

What formation did he use at West ham?

David Moyes – West Ham United – Tactical Analysis (2021-22)

Within the last two years at the London Stadium, Moyes has overseen the rise and development of Declan Rice into one of the best midfielders on the planet; not to mention an excellent recruitment s…

Basically sit back, try to counter attack and rely on set pieces is the philosophy.

Not sure we could afford him and he's probably on big wages. And his injury record isn't that good in recent years.

I don't think his transfer fee will be high due to his injury record. Still puts in world class performances now and then.

His price was so low but even then 5m was a decent fee be sure he missed their entire season in the oven as he'd broke his leg

I just think Harrison is more Osman like.

And Lindstrom is more pienaar like

 

[knowing your history]

Just seen Rico Henry is playing again for Brentford this weekend after a long time out.

He should've made the England squad a few years back imo as was playing at the level Robinson has reached at Fulham but Sir Southgate was not interested.

If he can string games together then I think Brentford might be open to selling him as they've coped without him for last 18 months and very clever with how they sell and buy.

He's far better than Myko going forward obviously and can play in different formations. Also been playing in prem since 2021 so pretty experienced at this level now. I think he's the type who'd appeal to Moyes as a steady eddie type and then can also sign a younger LB to develop in the background.

 

[knowing your history]

Said the other day when he got linked he looked the type of player Palace have, likes a to take players on.

Eze surely won't be there next season, far too good to be playing bottom half at his age. Amusing they've signed someone with pretty much the same surname.

I can see us letting Stones leave in the summer, would you have him back?

sure send it over

Cracking idea to buy a guy whose been out of footy for a year and a half ....

Osman was like a Messi/Maradona combo compared to the Jack Harrison of 2022-2025. Maybe Moyes can get more out of him by the end of the season, but it'll have to be a drastic upgrade for the club to even consider bringing him back next season.

There's a lot of revisionism with Moyes but we were literally a Lukaku or other class attacker away from breaking the top 4 when they all used to monopolise the back end of the champions league. We did extremely well for a long time playing Cahill and Fellaini upfront. Apart from the top 4 we pretty much dominated every other team at Goodison for a long spell. Bottom half teams would come and struggle to put any phases of play together at all.

Osman played his entire career as a starter in a team finishing 5-8 in the premier league. He was a quality player. Nothing like Harrison.
