Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

RS have a net expenditure of 353m. Surely that must mean that the Coutinho money has just about been used up.

Ahh you are forgetting the interest they had earned on it!!!

Give me the ITK TITLE now

I don’t think Wesley would get a work permit for the UK, but he would get one for Italy. If he goes to Italy for a season, he will have a better chance of getting a uk work permit next season.

We have seen before that we get linked with players when they are valued around £25m to £30m, we don’t sign them and they do a year at a top level club and are the valued at £55m to £60m. I think this is an investment long term.

That’s far too sensible, and doesn’t allow for fume!

Longstaff no thanks. The Danish CM is the obvious choice.

“Has been discussed”… more likely the players agents are offering this lot about.

Hey there Everton, what about my agent Sean Longstaff?
*phone hangs up at Finch farm.

Danish player from Serie A, you say?

That worked out great last season...

I presume you've seen a lot of Genoa to say he's the obvious choice?

Why wouldn’t he get a work permit? He’s a full Brazilian international.

@BlueStevie35 what’s your issue?

How would you have any issue with that statement.

If we aren’t their top priority this isn’t going to work.

It’s nonsensical bedwetting let’s be honest here, they aren’t prioritising either club over the other ffs

He has only played 2 games for Brazil, he’s still young and we are awful at getting work permits

 

[Kantareller]

Will we still be linked to Longstaff even when he's retired?

I like your thinking there

He'd deffo get a fast-tracked one if it was for one of the Sky teams.

100% its a ridiculous system, which is no doubt set up to help the so called “big teams”. Nothing has changed since that panorama documentary over 20 years ago showed Man Utd paying massive fees to agents and fixers to get work permits.

I have no idea. Just think Longstaff is crap and he is a sub at Newcastle. Ndidi rejected us before and is almost 29 and has regressed.

Alcaraz got one for Southampton ok without a single cap.

The article is enough to give anyone a heart attack! Everton buy him then loan him to Roma?!

a loan fee could offset most of the PSR/Amortisation hit, maybe its a case of they want the asset on Evertons books for future use/sale. Interesting to see how this plays out.

Newcastle have a fantastic midfield though, so being sub is no stick to beat him with, lad is a decent (not great but solid) player.
