Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Doesn't seem that slow from what I've seen, good movement and technique. Think he'd be a good signing

Well beggars can't be choosers. Looks very tidy, not doubting that. Just lacks really explosive pace which we've been crying out for.

seen some links for Keane to go to Leicester on a free. Given Leicester's PSR stuff, I dont know how they would be able to afford his wages, possibly with some big earners like Vardy going? It is rumoured Conner Coady is wanted at Rangers so that may free up space for Keane

It’s a nap that if we signed Fellows he’ll be garbage, but if someone else takes a punt on him he’ll be ace.

Yeah, because the Universe is so arsed about Everton that it goes out of its way to change reality just to impede them.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

This is why if you sign a 6’5” striker who scores nearly all his goals with his head, you sign Tom Fellows.

"THERE IT IS!!!"
As the great Roy Walker would say, "It's good, but it's not right"

That's not how it works, if someone else signed him he'd be garbage except for 2 games a year when he'd become a mix of Ronaldo, Messi, Pele and Maradona.

How often have you heard that (this player) hasn't scored in x amount of games only to score against us.

Yeah we definitely do, we need two wide players coming in so hopefully we'll see some pace added to the team

I'm all for adding pace, but we cant go full Adama Traore. We do need someone good on the ball in wide positions. Fellows does seem to lack some pace but he can put a decent ball in the box. We could do worse anyhow.

It’s amazing how once a player has hit a certain salary level, they are incapable of ever accepting less, regardless of form and fitness.

Sancho wanted by Napoli and Juventus for some reason, but his £250k a week wage demands expected to be an issue!!!! Michael Keane had a substantially better season than Sancho. A good number of relegated players did too.

It must be down to the Universe having it in for Everton Football Club, mate.

Personally, I don't think that the Universe is all that arsed about Everton. But I do believe that beliefs and attitudes, both conscious and unconscious, especially at a collective level, can influence reality. So I'm kind of against believing that the Universe has a vendetta against Everton, because if you believe it for long enough, it ends up becoming true!

So I'm someone that thinks we need to STOP acting like the Universe has put a hex on us, especially when the vast majority of the football league think we are extremely lucky/jammy.

Such negative and depressive magical thinking is actually maladaptive in the extreme. It doesn't help us, it hinders us.

Dyche heavily linked too the job there so it makes sense tbh.

There's definitely a hex on us, we couldn't even fall out with a landlord and move grounds without it creating satins spawn.

Ben, it might be an age thing,and I was lucky enough to do Wembley,Bayern and see the wins in the 80’s,but I genuinely don’t want to be anything like them.
If honest I find the RS totally soulless. They are the media darlings, saw some fawning nonsense on the BBC sport website yesterday about the breaking up of the greatest full back pairing ever or some such. Didn’t bother reading it. But TAA always got shown up when picked for England, certainly never picked over Walker at right back.
I do think we need to be careful what we wish for. Mate of mine, old school Man City, with all his memories of play off finals, and way days in lower leagues,completely stopped watching them 3 seasons into the Arab takeover. Just became not for him and why he loved his club/ game.
We have been through some very tough, scary and almost criminally negligent times recently ,but a big part of this club, most clubs, is the community. The match going or watching experience.
Football has changed and will continue to change. Yes let’s hope for a few Wembley days out and a pot or 2, but also let’s hope we stay Everton.
If you know,you know as they say.
Pity the RS. Don’t envy them as they really don’t have what we have got. And let us keep, protect and cherish it.

Yeah well said. They are still the only team that seem to have coverage of you’ll never walk alone. Everyone else it just goes straight from commentary to kick off. It’s so bias it’s untrue.

Is it one of those hexes that led to us being one of the most successful clubs in England throughout the 20th Century? Is it one of those hexes that has seen us avoid relegation when every other club would have likely gone down under such circumstances?

I do get where you are coming from. I just don't think it's healthy, even when it's said in jest. It's become a complex ffs.
