Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Alcaraz dragged on and we paid the clause anyway. Barry is a rotation and Travers is a backup player.

We haven't signed a single player to strengthen the first 11.

I think that is very poor indeed.

Don't think we did pay the clause for Alcaraz. Saw an article posted on here Suggested it was under £10m total fee and I could have sworn it was around £12m to £15m quoted for the clause last season.

Not me mate I promise but on topic there’s a someone on Twitter / X who nicked my avatar off here. And I know it’s mine because I had to screen grab it off a video. Strange business, it’s not even that good!

Apologies...must have missed that.

Can you please reply with the link; that would be much appreciated.

Thank You.

…no The link tends to be in the few posts before the video.

I know he’s a figure of fun to some on here, but he rarely EVER names a player..

What does he mean ‘IF’ he was guessing.

What does he mean ‘IF’ he was guessing.

It means he is guessing because he knows less about the inner workings of Everton FC than a piece of ham

I can't believe what that Benj is after calling @Goat on X in response to his comments earlier. I didn't even know such insults existed!
My goodness .

Anyway, good afternoon gents/lasses and those who ain’t sure. Been a very busy 36 hours or so, could do with someone bringing me up to speed on what’s been happening. In the thread I mean, doesn’t have to be transfer related.
I did catch @chicoazul ‘s AI psychoanalysis of @Nymzee I’ll be surprised if this isn’t the key highlight

He means he knows as much as you and me

what are the inner workings of a piece of ham?

Tier 1 waiting on big Al if this comes off. He might even come back on here.

If he gets this one, he won't ever have to do one again

Him and Piennar were fantastic together on the left hand side as I remember, in fact it was quite possibly the strongest part of the Moyes team.

In most games absolutely, it could tear apart a bottom half team at home. There’s a reason we never won away at the top 4 sides though. We tried to out play them with players like Pienaar Osman Arteta Baines whilst those sides were much too physical and quick for us. Chelsea and Liverpool in particular just used to bully us. We need to be able to vary the way we play and if you only have small one paced playmakers in midfield you can only play one way. We need strength and mobility in midfield and pace in attack if we want to win away from home regularly in the PL. it’s not a surprise to me that Moyes’s away record last season was very good as we just played on the counter using Alcaraz and Beto and got some very good results doing that. Not every team needs to be walked through with beat interplay. I’m hoping that’s a sign of Moyes adapting a bit more this time round.

Barry didn’t leave CL football with Villarreal to sit on the bench.

We also didn’t part with 30 mill for a backup striker to Beto.

As soon as he’s acclimatised to the PL he’ll he starting in my opinion unless Beto is on such a goal scoring streak that he can’t be left out

Definitely a change in approach. I know we lost at the pit etc but in the other games that mattered we had a swagger at times that just wasn't there in previous seasons. Didn't always pay off in other games and we were not always easy on the eye but had a solid base to work from.
