Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Simon Buttle]

Need pace. Absolutely vital.

Not if you can't do anything with it, Nuamah is Harrison with pace. Also there is zero point in signing one player who is very fast and will outrun everyone else then have to stand there for 30 secs whilst the rest of his team mates catch up, we need 3/4 and we are not going to be doing that at the moment. I want goals and creativity/guile atm.

Given he's out for effectively the season and we will be paying anyway then just pay the fee and get it over with.

Anyway nice one Kev another screamer of a signing

 

[Harryflashman]

It was never going to be as straightforward as people were suggesting

Chelsea would be absolutely mad to just swallow the cost themselves , why would they what would be the benefit?

Agreed we’re paying regardless so may as well try and benefit from it .

That isn't really how having someone with pace works.

….Chris Wood does ok at Forest.

Yeah don’t see why we shouldn’t pay Chelsea the full loan fee - lad got injured playing for us.

As an aside in that article, Hunter says we already have our full allocation of 4 loans? That can’t be right?

It is with the likes of Nuamah pal because he doesn't know what he is doing half the time, he just runs out of pitch ala Traore much of the time. As I said in a previous post he has age on his side but I reckon he will need a lot of work imo, he isn't what many fans think he is.

So we’ve got 4 strikers
Broja - made of glass and going back to his parent club.
Beto - looks like going back to Italy
Chermiti - injured all season
DCL - doesn’t want to play for us and couldn’t finish his dinner.

Not exactly the fab 4 is it.

 

[toffeeblue9]

Surely to God we just pay to cut his loan short. He’s neither use nor ornament being here injured for the next 12 weeks.

That's all of his wages between now and the end of June

He stays up there around the box for the majority of the game and doesn't move, others come to him.

….we see why Sherif was on the bench last night, what a mess.

Nuamah is only 21 and has just over a year in a big league. He can be coached to improve. Harrison is 29 and useless. Pace can win games. The amount of space it can open up for teams is crazy. And we ain't going to be going out and buying a completely new forward line this January.

We’ll pay them either way so might as well just do it now and free up a loan spot

I've never seen him play so I'm not talking specifically about him, just about the idea that there's no use having pace because you'll just have to wait for everyone else to catch up. That's not how it works. As I said earlier, having genuine pace in the side can open the game up much more, force teams to sit deeper, and create more space for others on the pitch, so it can make a difference even if the player themselves isn't actually producing much. That's not to say we should sign Nuamah, I know nothing about him, just that I think the introduction of real pace to the side could make a significant difference to us.
