January Transfer Window 2026

What are people's thoughts on Callum Wilson, contract to the end of the season?

As always with New Everton, he'd likely be an uninspiring step up from the zombies who currently interchange along our front line.

It took years to offload the Moshiri-era players that were considered overpriced and overrated. We are in a new era now, free of points penalties and extremely strict transfer budgets.

So what did we go and do?

Bought a fresh crop of dross to yet again hold us back!

Dibling, Beto, Barry, the list goes on. When will we learn? We either have no pulling power, a poor transfer committee or both!

If current links are to be believed, then I see we are desperately hunting in the bargain CD/DVD basket at Woolworths again.

Pay more, see less

Dibling and Barry are MILES away from the dross that we got saddled with when Moshiri was signing players our old managers stomped their feet over, or whoever Joorabchian threw at him (Bolasie, Tosun, Schneiderlin, Walcott, Maupay, Klaasen etc. etc.)

The club have clearly changed tack and are bringing in young players with talent, potential and most importantly sell on value. What's happening however is we have a manager who is determined to destroy any element of confidence they may have, and a fan base who are demanding immediate returns from developmental players because we don't have a big enough squad to allow them time to settle in.

I'm seeing for the first time in years and years is a transfer strategy that is manager agnostic; and I'll all for this. It's a squad formed of Koeman and Allardyce and Benitez and Ancelotti players that have hamstrung Everton for a decade. We're out of that cycle and we should be glad of this.

Strange move for him, as I can`t really see him playing that much.

It stinks of "we tried"

Well, yeah, but I'm not sure it's anyone's fault that he fancies a top 4 club

Better than Barry and Beto. West Ham fans aren't happy he's been let go which is a good sign. I'd take him if club don't wanna buy another striker in Jan.

 

[HKContractDave]

Indeed we're always 'perusing'/mulling there's no way they would know!

Decent player, but he has an injury record on a par with DCL ( I know he`s fit now ).

It`d be a big gamble, as if he got injured again, we`d only have Barry as our fit striker, assuming Beto is off somewhere else.

Why? Malen is leaving and he gets lots of game time.

Do you think he`s going to play instead of Ollie Watkins ?

He`s been bought as a good solid back up ( imo )

Which striker did you think was realistically available in a Jan window , we missed out on?

Amazing league stats for the season.

Beto and barry 21 starts between them. 5 goals.
Wilson 8 starts 4 goals.

If he had regular starts still in him its clearly yes but more to the point it highlights the two we have need to be moved on. Barry is still early days compared to beto but i wouldnt personally be hanging around to see if he comes good for next season. Its just prolonging the obvious need to find better imo.

‘Option to buy’ on anybody is a good deal really. Try before you buy

If we had had one with Barry and Dibling we'd be a lot richer

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

And even on THAT deal a club desperately trying anything to avoid relegation are getting rid.

Not sure they're trying to get rid, more likely he's trying to get a new club as West Ham have bought 2 new strikers. Less chance of game time for him, so less pay.

Emery seems to rotate Watkins a fair bit. He's been at Villa before too remember so probs loves it. Cheeky title charge, in Europe, best manager in the league, attractive club these days.

 

[jazzy]

….actually be a boost if he can string 10 games together.

Never knew that was how you spelt miracle.
Every day's a school day and all that.
