Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Noisy noise annoys]

Not for me but if they subsidise a lot of the wages it might be worth a punt

Subsidise wages but 11 mil loan fee

Subsidise wages but 11 mil loan fee

Definitely no then as thats a crazy fee for a loan deal

How long some of you spend refreshing this thread, I'm starting to think we could be harness that time better for the site.

Someone write some click bait nonsense for the front page.

Want a "why Mcatee is a destiny fulfilled for Everton" article mate

A younger Phil Neville. Am I selling the idea of him being a good signing yet?

Good point(ing) .

What's the general consensus on Grealish then?

I was a no, but the longer this window drags on I'm warming to the idea of taking a gamble on loan.

Honestly right now it's a no, it'll simply gloss over not bringing in a permanent player with a one year band aid

Interesting whether it's an either or situation with McAtee I've not seen whether it's been reported that or it's completely independent

Ten times DaveK contradicted himself. You won't believe what's at number 7!

Apparently they're very good friends, I just see a deal for Grealish as being a minimum of around 11-12m total outlay for one season at the absolutely lowest I can imagine. Say 6-7 loan fee (low estimate) and a third of his wages (low estimate again) of 100k PW - so another 5m.

Mcatee even at 35 all in with bonuses represents value for money in comparison - btw I don't think Mcatee is worth that right now, but I do think he will far exceed that value in years to come. So if that's his price it's worth paying if other are

Grealish is best off the left though - decent as a 10, Mcatee best right now as a ten but think ultimately he may end up an 8 and with the right partner in mid may be his naturally best position.

Oh I'd deffo have McAtee over Grealish all day. If we can make the figures work though Grealish ain't a bad back up.
