Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Nymzee]

What are you on about? I just said Dibling wouldn’t cost us £50m up front either, if we’re working on the basis that we’ve only paid £1m for Travers (we haven’t, we’ve paid £4m)

We've paid £1m for Mark Travers and if you think that £1m for Mark Travers is what's stopping us signing Dibling then...

Well, I have no more words. This Summer has fully broken your brain.

We haven’t though, you can’t just make stuff up

Clearly you will just tell yourself whatever needs to be told to make the window look better so there’s no point in even continuing this.

....but he isn't using it as an excuse for poor performances, and nor should he be. Bit different from his demeanour at the beginning of pre season.

This isn't a difficult thing to pick up on, people?

I can only assume that you are some sort of shill or stooge for the new club executive. Moyes made mistakes last night and absolutely must accept a significant share of the blame for what went down but to have no full backs and no right sided midfielders in his squad absolutely is an excuse for the performance last night. The club has failed to build even a functional first team, let alone a squad, by the first game of the season That is a huge failure. They have two weeks to bring in a minimum of three players and ideally more like five. Does anyone have any faith that they will do that? Only you and @Noisy noise annoys , it seems.

Mate, no offence but this doesn't really make any sense

if we've changed every layer of the club hierarchy, where do you think the "inept culture" resides? Who exactly are you complaining about if it isn't the owner / manager / "personel at the top"? Maybe the issue is with the tea lady?

Or maybe it's harder than we think for a club that's been struggling with relegation for years and cycling through managers to sign players that are going to make a difference in moving them up the table?

Leadership and a change culture, yes circumstances haven't helped but the first way to change it is decisive leadership. Sadly it doesn't look like things are changing. Look at what happened at Newcastle(I know they had Saudi money) but they totally changed the culture and became decisive and changed the narrative. Everton hide, excuse , say it will do, make do, it comes from a Kenwright era of meekly accepting our place. When it won't that was horrific last night and the result of poor planning, poor recruitment a poor preseason. We will improve but to truly challenge we have to have decisive leadership that wants to push us on and think outside the box, for heavens sake Bournemouth, Brighton and Palace all are better at pushing on and progressing than us. With less resources or fans. The club just sits there and meekly accepts its place and hides from the fans because gambling actually puts their necks on the line. Again I am judging them now not in September, and now isn't good enough and I don't even mean we haven't signed amazing players I mean we don't even have a functional squad or a right back or a right winger.
The club needs to grow up and drive change and results if it wants to embrace the opportunity of a new stadium we are sadly flunking it currently. The culture of accepting mediocrity and failure and excusing ineptitude is carrying on so far.

It's £4m deal over 4 years.

£1m goes into this FY.

Surely you know how it works now after 2 points deductions.

But I agree, I will leave you to your tantrums.

Ideal world, the window would close before the season starts by the way.. but they literally tried that during the COVID season and it put the English clubs at a disadvantage compared to the rest of Europe and no one liked it. Was instantly reverted.

Will we likely always have this version of July/August Everton whilst things are as they are and that isn't even primarily down to having 'early' transfer business done or not anyway. We aren't the only club who start seasons 'slow' either way..

So Dibling is £50m over 5 years too then? So using the same maths then we’d be paying £10m for him this year? Thank you, you’ve convinced me that the £1m this year would’ve helped.

If we're £4m short on the Dibling deal and he signs a four year contract then his fee will also be spread over four years and therefore the £1m is what we'd be short this year. Surely you know how it works after 2 points deductions?

Honestly never thought the paint-huffing delusion would’ve spread to Nymz. Sad to see.

I mean it's talksport and a very easy rumour to make up.

But who is saying we haven't got £1m more in the pot for him is the initial point...

Making things up and then getting mad about them is the sign of being unwell.

We have 3 sell windows between now and next year including this one...so we have to gamble on a outlay of spending and be ready to sell.

They could land him and I would honestly struggle to be arsed, truth be told.
