Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Goat]

@davek especially you. This was your opinion on Romano yesterday



If you're going to agitate, you'd have been better off focusing on it being a plant to appease Everton fans when we keep him.

He 100% does want to leave tho.

Unless he's really stupid.

Let's not fall for the "at least we kept/didn't sell...." Line eh.

"at least we caught the mole"

The most ridiculous thing about this summer has been the right back position. They tried to sign Tete early on and thought they had the deal done. But then once the deal fell through, we haven't been linked with another player in that position since.

If we don't get the player we want it seems there are no alternatives. They don't have any strategy in place. Its been a complete mess and it's pretty clear that the current recruitment committee has failed and we need to change either the process or the personnel

Who the hell flies from Leeds?? Its only over the hill.

Someone that's over the hill

50m

Oof. It would take something massive like that for us to sell. But no-one paying close to that. Lovely strong dribbler, and can finish when he gets in front of goal. But last assist 28 April 2024. Internationals included. And whilst he has little quality around him in our squad, you can see why.

Well Sundays going to be fun if it all goes to crap with a bad loss at least we will see if the boos sound louder in the new ground been a right mess this especially over the past 2-3 weeks

In retrospect, once Tete decided to stay at Fulham, it wouldn't have been the worst idea to re-sign Young as cover for both full-backs again.

Another day gone and dave is still dithering while forest identify and sign, we are so far behind its shame, I feel for Grealish, this isn't what he was sold surely.

But we are in a lot of 'hunts' or 'races' for players... It's like bloody school sports day down at EFC.

I think young towards the very end of the season especially did really well for us.

At this point I’m starting to think we’re either going with what we’ve got, paying over the odds or getting players we don’t really want / aren’t good enough to move us forward in what this build should of been about.

Morning all.

Nothing new or interesting or reliable but here it is anyway. Have a good Friday.


Saints boss Will Still admitted that he is not sure what Tyler Dibling’s future holds amid links with Tottenham and Crystal Palace. He said: “I don’t. I have no idea. You’d have to ask Palace, Arsenal or Tottenham. “I read all this stuff at the same moment you guys do, and I saw Sky Sports News at eight o’clock this morning with breaking news.”

However, a domino effect could be paving the way for Dibling’s move to Merseyside. Southampton have been linked with a move for Middlesbrough’s Finn Azaz. Everton had been linked with a move for the 24-year-old earlier in the summer, but chose to explore other targets. According to The Northern Echo, the Saints have had an offer rejected, but continue to engage in talks.



Taking to social media, Fabrizio Romano claimed Everton have knocked back approaches from other Premier League sides for Iliman Ndiaye this summer. Earlier in the window, Romano suggested Ndiaye had interest from Inter Milan. Now, he has suggested other sides have shown an interest. ‘Everton have rejected all approaches for Iliman Ndiaye from Serie A and Premier League,’ he said. ‘Ndiaye, seen as crucial part of the project at the club.’



According to Graeme Bailey, Everton have attempted to address other things before making a move for Tom Fellows. Bailey said: “I don’t think that Everton’s pursuit of Tyler Dibling impacts the Tom Fellows situation, necessarily, but I do think that what has happened for Fellows is that there are so many other things that Everton need to do. I just think he’s being put a little bit on the back burner. “I still wouldn’t rule Fellows out of that Everton move, especially by the end of the window, but it’s a little bit less likely than it was previously.

“Just simply because they’re doing other things. I think this is a lot like the Hayden Hackney situation, where West Brom are fearful they’ll lose their man by the end of the window and are braced for that.”



According to L’Equipe, Arsenal have joined the race for Malick Fofana, with Everton also part of the run, with Lyon desperate to make a big sale to balance their finances. In recent days, Fofana has admitted he could leave Lyon before the deadline in just one week’s time. According to Le Progres, Bayern Munich will not be signing Fofana after their latest offer was very quickly rejected. It is claimed that Bayern have no intention of paying €40m for the winger this summer. So, they can be considered out of the race.



English Premier League Everton are planning to offer Getafe €30 million for Super Eagles midfielder Christantus Uche, Soccernet.ng reports. Uche has been attracting a lot of attention from many clubs across the top five European leagues. This comes after a string of impressive performances at Getafe. The 22-year-old midfielder joined the club from third-tier Ceuta last summer, and he quickly rose to become Getafe's best player, contributing four goals and six assists in 33 league games.



Everton will reportedly compete with Newcastle United and West Ham United to sign 30-year-old versatile Dutch defender Nathan Ake from Manchester City this summer. According to a report by TEAMtalk, Nathan Ake is the subject of interest from Everton. The Toffees are scouring the market for a centre-back this summer and have held exploratory talks to sign the versatile Manchester City defender. Meanwhile, Newcastle United and West Ham United are also keen on signing the Dutch centre-back in the summer transfer window.

Thanks for the update Bob

If Ashley Young was next on our list after Tete I would’ve been equally alarmed as having nobody on it.

Yeah, it's probably handing him too much credibility today to take him serious now on this Ndiaye claim.

But what Ild also say is that we have no idea how this new Everton team are working and it could easily be correct that the club might be getting the idea out there. I know that's having my cake and eating it, like...but it just underlines the level of confusion among fans that anything is possible at this stage given the lack of dynamism of the window.

 

[Charro]

I know we have been very poor but his body language has been well off recently. He doesn't seem the sort to kick up though tbh. He seemed very happy last season - when we were scoring.

Wants a new contract.

He’s on 50k a week and isn’t happy at seeing some of the wages being spent whilst he’s a low earner.

Agent has been offering him about.
