Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[DuncansPigeons]

They are a Premier League club
They are a London club
He is probably happy living there.
They improved his wages and made it clear they wanted him .
He respects his manager .
We made an offer , he preferred to stay .
That’s all there was to it , hardly a pitchfork and torches moment for us .

This.

I think it shows how low our stock has fallen if I’m totally honest.

London will beat Liverpool in most cases to be honest .( as a place to live )
But then Liverpool is better than anywhere else in the UK ( in my opinion).
It is what it is

It’s true, the perception of the club looks worse when tete who’s not even an above average player stays at a club with a cottage.

Dress it up how you like, it’s poor.

Didn’t even think about it like that Christ what a red flag that is

Sir - I’m hearing unconfirmed reports of a 2nd Dibling bid hitting Southampton’s inbox ..

I`ve said previously that the team performance is what Moyes will be judged on, will the recruitment team get him the sack this season?

If he’s sacked I doubt he will be down to him.

My take…..

We have targets, we have money…. Unfortunately we are not an exciting prospect for players as we currently can’t offer European competition. A few of our targets will understandably wait as long as they can before committing to a club so they can evaluate all of their options. That’s what I would do anyway.

I personally don't see whats the fuss. I look at the league and although we may be on the low end, aren't that far off in completed signings to our counterparts. The extensions and Charly option weren't a given, we re-signed the most important.

But beyond that its the profile of who we have signed and who we have been chasing that makes me more than willing to wait out. For the first time in like 10 years we are circling the right profile in deals. Prospects from across the continent with a growth plate, with good pedigree at fair price points. And the veterans rumored (or that we re-signed) logical in regards to transfer fees. Simply put the club may not be getting deals as quickly across the line but they are demonstrating competency, aspiration and good scouting in who they are showing interest in.

I for one remember the doubts in so many completed deals in previous windows. A signing isn't innately a good thing, a good one is. Of course it would be nice if more players could have had preseason reps, of course it would be great if players innately wanted to be Evertonians but thats just not that realistic to the variables at play.

The club, by all leaks are chasing really smart deals. That makes a lot of them possibly unlikely. But in no way should that approach change even if the seasons about to start.

One?? Whoopee

It’s grim.

About to get even grimmer when we lose another pre season friendly tonight.

He wouldn’t have to live in Liverpool though would he. In fact do any footballers live in Liverpool? The north west is a big place with loads of nice areas and if he really really wants to go to Madame Tussaud’s then it’s only 2 hours on the train to London. He’s stayed at Fulham because he doesn’t see us as a step up. That should be an an eye opener and a wake up call to everyone. Fulham.

That ship sailed years ago. Over 30 years since a trophy. Our stock is very low.

 

[Bally1989]

What leeway am I giving? You can’t blame people who haven’t even started at the club!! You also judge a window when it closes. Grow up, calm down, and actually try and think like an adult.

Judge what team we start the season with giving 3 points in August is worth as much as 3 points in October.

Fulham have gone even longer without a trophy.

I’m a little bit worried because after their failed MGW bid, lots of spurs fans started saying they want ndiaye

Now it looks like son is leaving and Maddison suffered a serious injury today

Really hope spurs don’t try and unsettle Ndiaye and come in with a bid for him

Yeah they haven’t even been remotely linked with him.

 

[Bally1989]

Even though half the recruitment team isn’t in role yet?? Jesus wept

Well whose fault is that?
