January Transfer Window 2026

[Curtis]

I doubt they'll spend.

Moyes had the run of transfers in the summer and it's been a disaster. There will, no doubt, be tension behind the scenes that €95m worth of acquisitions are either on the bench, in the under-21s, or missing sitters. They might prefer to save themselves the grief and reboot.

I don't think our most recent summer was that disastrous, and I don't think it's being perceived as such, if we had won yesterday we would of been in the top 8 so this season, although frustrating hasnt been the debacle people make it out to be. Regarding recruitment we have two players that were purchased with the notion as being long term investments such as Aznou and Dibling , I don't think Moyes planned to regularly play a 19 year old despite the experience until he's had time to bed in, so I think you'll see him featured more soon. Grealish and KDH have been effective, although Rohle has been hindered by injuries, Moyes is very keen on him.

Moyes has constantly stated that he never intended to rectify all the squad deficiencies in one window. I think if Moyes pushes for signings we'll get them but who knows how Moyes will proceed as he can very particular about what players he wants

I must say, as much as I'd love to see a new RB and CF in, I wouldn't hand more cash to Moyes.

It WAS a disaster simply because we needed a team on the pitch for the present and we spent €95m - that we sit on the bench or that misses sitters - on the future.

Unsustainable - as we are likely to see over the coming month.

 

[Neiler]

Was looking at Lewis Hall yesterday absolute class, him and Livramento change a team of no hopers to winning games.

We need to stop trying to be clever with signings, if you want to change the dynamic of this team go out and spend £30 mill on a couple of full backs and in other key areas like central midfield. If you want a forward who will score goals, pay the fee.

You can then mess around with projects loke Aznous.

4 weeks ago with Hall and Livramento out i think the result would be different, you get watch you pay for.

If you talk about an ‘unprecedented in the Premier league’ rebuild, and then don’t sign a particularly extraordinary amount of players, then it already looks an underwhelming window.

Add in the fact we’ve left ourselves with the weakest full back and striker options in the Prem, and one of the only 2 (thus far) successful signings we made is only on loan, and it doesn’t look a great window at all.

Not even mentioning we’ve had Michael Keane start for us every week - I mean, imagine telling people in May that would be happening!!

 

[WA Toffee]

For me the priority positions last summer were RB , CF and RW.
We haven't adequately filled any of those positions.
We didn't need a LW ( good as Grealish is ) , N'dayie was fine there.

Ndayie is a great left mid, but who would be cam and rm? Mcneill and who?

I don't disagree with your point on RB though, we did, and still do, need a top one

Pickford
O'Brien
Tarkowski
Branthwaite
Mykolenko
Gana
Garner
Grealish
KDH
Ndiaye
Barry

If you look at that as being Moyes' likely favoured eleven, theres 3 new signings who have gone straight in.

I'm not sure Rohl, Travers, King, Alcaraz are particularly 'players for the future'.

Two players 'for the future' were signed in Aznou & Dibling.

 

[kimonthemac_efc]

Troy Parrott is one I have been crying out for ages, before those two international games.

Spurs let him go despite a half decent record at the academies. He has got a great eye for a goal and that is all we need now. Word has it he is a Evertonian aswell.

 

[hallamblue]

Massively so, yes.

Angus Kinnear himself said it in the ToffeeTV interview. You speak to a 21 year old from around Europe what do they know about us besides relegation battles? This is a straight quote from him btw.

Newcastle have just won a cup and Villa were in the Champions League, and both have European football to offer.

He also said it's highly unlikely we look to do anything in January so make of that what you will.

I make of that we've wasted our transfer budget, again!

 

[kimonthemac_efc]

We should be buying Michael Noonan from Ireland U17s. Will be a top player

agreed

To claify, Hall (£28mil + £7mil add ons) and Livramento (£32mil + £8mil add ons)

All in, £75mil on two 19 year olds.

They went out and looked at the very best young English players money could buy and paid top rates for them. They also brought through Lewis Miley (and Elliot Anderson) with the strategy to have a young English core.

This is what we have done with Tyler Dibling and what we have with Harrison Armstrong.

If you then look at the England u21s and England u19s;

Dibling is in the u21s & Armstrong is in the u19s.

The approach I'd be following would be to look in those squads and see who else we could add to our 2 young English players.

CM: Josh King (Fulham)
LW: Jeremy Monga (Leicester)
CM: Chris Rigg (Sunderland)
LB: Harry Amass (Man Utd)

There are four players that stand out as being possibly attainable with high potential, there would be other posters who see more players there.

If you want to have young English players who can become top class like the trajectories Hall and Livramento are on...you need to spend the money.

We've done similar (at a low fee) with Adam Aznou, a full Moroccan international and should be doing the same across the pitch.

2 seasons of signing 2 top young players a year and we have 4 top young players + Dibling & Armstrong (and any others we develop).

There are then 6+ top young players in the squad.

This is the approach we should be following.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The lack of pace in the team is baffling. Even when we have money we sign slow pedestrian players. I want a new recruitment team in place for the summer

What has Dibling done to suggest he is the top young English player at his position

I'm not even sure he has created a chance since he came to Everton.

 

[matty1878]

And by spending 100s of millions of pounds too like

again all this gets bypassed and it’s just coz it’s moyes and he’s a dinosaur etc etc

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

So forwards, full backs, CMs/CDMs, and a sprinkling of pace needed.

This should be good. Three new no 10s with 27 pace on FIFA incoming.
