January Transfer Window 2026

[ToffeeTim]

Bobble said that it is Moyes pushing for reinforcements and the committee who are reticent. But, no doubt it is nuanced - Moyes will probably turn down a lot of options and the committee will probably be open to doing some business if it fits their plans.

But generally it is Moyes who is the one who is pushing supposedly.

Who is the transfer committee? And why do they not want to improve the team?

They're probably just reluctant to spend money on short term solutions when Moyes will be here for a year or so and they'll be the ones left holding the bag on crap player contracts in 4-5 years time

Over 8 billion people in the world, Everton can’t find anyone to play right back for them. Good times.

I mean, we have 4 guys.

I doubt at least 7.5 billion of those are any good.

When I bought my house, I made sure to tell the people who's house I was buying that I was really interested in buying the house and that I had loads of money available when negotiating the price.

This, public noises about transfers are all game-playing apart from tier-1 journalist scoops

Until the manager gets super impatient like Moyes did in the summer and says we're desperate in all the pressers haha

it’s frustrating that we have money to spend but aren’t spending it.

But I think Moyes is looking after PSR.

Yes it’d be nice to push for Europe. But realistically- before a ball was kicked this season, how many would have taken finishing 9th-14th but comfortably away from relegation. Next year would be the one to push for Europe for me.

We are charging high prices on ticket for matches...if fans are happy to pay top dollar prices for 9th-14th finish then Angus would have done his job fantastically well for TFG. Charge as much as we can, spend as little as possible...maximise revenue. For me this is simply not good enough. I want everton fighting at the top, not in the middle of the table.

Out of the 0.5 billion left, how many have “premier league experience”? It’s a tough window.

We've needed full backs for 5 years or more. I'm not sure how that would be a short term move.

Moyes was right to put pressure on because the recruitment team had no plan in place and allowed the club to go on a pre season tour with about 15 senior players

Seems to be our mentality with transfers is we have a target and it's them or nothing.

Funny really as we probably need 2 rbs.
