Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Librarian]

Dibling.. if he’s been granted permission to speak to us as per the Bobble, I don’t see how a fee is not agreed? Waste of everyone’s time in that scenario. It’s surely done.

Dewsbury-Hall, not his biggest fan. Saw him for Chelsea last year and he looked poor, but maybe needed some game rhythm that he wasn’t getting there?
Will take Alcaraz spot imo but offer more in defence. Could also play on the right side if needed, not ideal but better than current options.

Just haggling over the structure and timing of the deal now you have to think

From luiz+Kubo to dewsbury+dibling for roughly the same amount of money. Christ.

This is the problem. High calibre players gone for much cheaper prices. Unfortunately, the recruitment team cannot convince to come.

 

[Daytripper]

This new recruitment team, are they doing a better job than Thelwell?

I mean if the fees are correct for these players then surely Thelwell could have done exactly the same deal as these new guys, so in my opinion what was the point in changing him.

It was Thelwell who got us Ndiaye

Has the entire recruitment team from last year left then? I was under the impression it was a handful of senior positions changed and nothing else.

Prentice is still there on the comms side of things as well.

Bidding for a player we want = panic bidding

We didn’t want him enough to bid at the beginning of July though did we

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

We need to preserve our cash and increase the add-ons as this is a risky purchase. Also that keeps the cash for other signings.

After the US flop Moyes must realise our only goal threat, besides the big lads at the back coming up for corners , is N'Diaye. Beto and Barry will bag a few for certain but N'Diaye is the only one that scares the opposition.

Everton for you.

 

[milks]

Yup. We can only afford one in particular £40m must be the majority of the remaining budget.

Not the case if we're negotiating currently for two players at approx. £70m combined value.

Exactly. Clueless.

 

[DaChunk]

Hearing we might be moving onto our next target Gnonto

 

[wainy]

Exactly. Clueless.

Think we expected one of Kubo or Fofana. This kid must be the last name on the fabled list.

£80m gets it done

 

[toffee66]

Yup. We can only afford one in particular £40m must be the majority of the remaining budget.

When the window shuts I suspect Everton will have spent £150m +/- 10% and added £40/45m to our amortisation in doing so. The fact that if it plays out like that it will be mainly spent on potential and mid-level PL veterans is sobering.

 

[hktoffee]

Soton want £40m up front right, according to some media reports.

If the other costs £30m then that’s about it. £120m gone.

 

[Neiler]

It’s going to be a fun week!

 

[Nymzee]

Unless something mad happends like we move into a new stadium that generates aload of new income and get better sponsorship revenue

Yeh that really isn't enough and also isn't immediate.
