Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Mr Happy]

Wait'll you see how Moyes destroys your hopes of a warchest this summer.

He's already strung everyone along in the January window.

The maestro will give a real masterclass this summer running the clock down and buying about 10 bob's worth of players.

You KNOW I'm right.

Strung?

But nobody drew up the lines of demarcation really except you, all anyone said is its clear that we need to invest in scoring more. All that's was pointed out is we defend well and score poorly.

Its a pretty remedial stuff you are pointing out mate "we attack and defend as a team" - "full backs attack" "wingers defend" "the game is about balance" - yeah we know - we still need to improve our goal scoring more then our defending recognising all the afore mentioned and without being absolute - i think every fan on here knows the burning need and priority of investment is in the more advanced areas and goal scoring.

Cheers for the remarkable insight a chara.

See links to Jarell Quansah for £30m today. No idea if hes any good but get the feeling £30m is a stretch, giving me Jordan I’ve to Bournemouth vibes.
Likewise a move for Leon Bailey, can’t see him doing enough defensively for a Moyes buy.

Loan for Bailey be good

I suppose, no matter what the strategy is, it depends more on convincing young players, who will get offers from much better teams than Everton, that we are the place to go. Good luck with that.

I think we can convince them alright, it's getting into an auction for them that's the issue.

I don't really believe that you can sign players that are "under the radar" these days anymore (not that you suggested it) as there are small armies worth of people at clubs monitoring players everywhere and at all ages, but you can back your judgement and those whose opinions you value and get in there with an offer before others.

That's what we have to do I think. We won't be signing risk-free, established players at the level we want. It will have to be calculated risks from The Championship and global leagues. We can top that up with loans if required for players of an older age profile that might "do a job" for a year and others that they are not quite convinced about to sign outright.

At least I hope that's how it will pan out.

Doucoure is the perfect case in point though mate.

He's one of those players that we could instantly upgrade on in many aspects if the club simply applies the correct level of due diligence. There are players out there who can do exactly the job he's doing now but are also better on the ball/provide more goal threat and wouldn't command his wages. It really isn't rocket science if you ask me...

I strongly agree with this. If we start next season with Doucoure still a major part of our midfield/attack, the summer will have been a failure.

Cant see bailey just the money in the deal plus injuries, did play with branthwaite in the england youth team not that i think links would be true. Is to much money for me on him 20 mill maybe as is room for him to improve. But has shown with obrien can get quality for less price outside of england

Bailey is an incredibly frustrating player so if we did get him then the fume will be off the charts on here!

Yep, he won’t be spunking money left right and centre on tat. If he performs to a similar level on signings as during his first stint we’ll be laughing.

Centre mid ?

Pacey though. On loan not really an issue. The fume couldn't be any worse than Harrison or Lindstrom.

Newcastle are 4th have lost 1 less game then us - the difference is wins and draws - theyve scored 62 goals, we have scored 34 and we have a better defensive record then them.

We may as well bring dyche back and buy 4 new doucoure’s. 30 clean sheets next season and 5 wins

True, Bailey is all left foot though so he'll be cutting inside every single time. We'd need a proper attacking right back to get the balance right

….i watched Quansah partner Branthwaite for England U21s at Goodison and they were imperious. The opposition might not have been the strongest but they’d have still been playing now and not scored. Stuck in my mind how good they were.

Ready for the for when Soucek and Coufal sign..........

Even though, they are both decent players and prob costy nothing!!!

I think Coufal is out of contract, but, I believe that they want £20 million for Soucek, at his age that doesn't make sense.
