Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[BlueBarrow]

I don't take it seriously mate. It's just relentless moaning, most of which is about stuff which is made up. Having to plough through loads of negativity is frustrating. Also it will take a few windows to sort this team out. This one has been disappointing so far, hopefully it will be better by the end. But the continual meltdown and repetitive comments are unnecessary in my worthless opinion.

Agree entirely with you mate.
So many made up stories , that people are hysterically over reacting to.
There's enough conspiracy theories going on in here to compete with a joint Reform UK / MAGA conference , lol.

Twitter link to Karl Etta Eyong, 21 year old Cameroon striker

Everton have contacted Villarreal over Karl Etta Eyong. The player wants to stay at Villarreal but if he is told that he won't play he wouldn't be opposed to moving to the Premier League

We want another striker, because we feel Barry is still too young/raw to make an impact, so we turn our sights to a player who is a year younger than him.

Sounds plausible. Think this one will happen!

There was loads of posters on here saying the stadium would attract a higher standard of player, it was weird.

It certainly will be a help but it won't bring players in on it's own.
I think signing Grealish will help as well, we will just have to wait another week to see what happens.

That press conference should be taken with a massive pinch of salt.

What we know is that Fellaini and many others before him have been signed for big money on transfer deadline day.

If Moyes says there is money, and at the moment a Dibling deal alone takes us to not far off £140mil down and over £150mil with add ons.

Lets say theres £200mil to spend.

We tell:
Southampton £45mil Dibling
Lyon £35mil Fofana

+ we discuss with the agents and come to terms.

+ we do this for e.g 4 wingers + 4 Right backs, + 4 DMs.

The offers just sit there worst case until TDD.

Would Fofana sit on his €30k a week or elect to Join Everton for £75k a week in the knowledge that in 12months time he may be at another club after showcasing his talent?

Would Southampton risk a major injury to Dibling or sell him at a bit less than wanted?

Its a gamble but worst case we should be able to sing big players on TDD.





Agreed. It will be the John McGinns of the world who are highly experienced and who Moyes thinks can get the club 7th or 8th this season.

Then next season he'll expect another huge amount to buy more experienced players.

At this point he'll say "i expect a new 5 year deal as ive got us to 7th/8th 2 years running".

If they let him go he'll have left us with a few diamonds but mostly a squad of ageing players with no resale.

Then people will say "oh they should never have gotten rid of Moyes".



Would you prefer to spend lets say £80mil on Jarrod Bowen. Knowing he'll probably net 15 goals and a lot of assists.

Or the money on Dibling & Fofana?

Because we need to build an asset base. We literally cant afford to be aiming for the short term, we have enough players not at top 7 quality or ageing.

There has to be an influx of youth that in 2-3 seasons are seen as top players.

Bowen...all day long...but no chance he'll come here, but no way TFG would spend that much on one player.

From the same team as Barry came from too..

 

[PhilRegan]

Smells like harrison on loan last hour

 

[Dutch Toffee]

From the same team as Barry came from too..

And he didn't want to come either they said

 

[MrGrumpy]

Spaghetti.

Him and Mr tickle share it

 

[Ian]

And he didn't want to come either they said

But he'd consider it if he couldn't get a game there. Bite their hands off - sounds too good to be true.

 

[PhilRegan]

Would anyone really be surprised and " shocked " if harrison came in . I certainly wouldn't

 

[MACCA75]

Don’t worry lads, the later we leave it, the more likely the top targets become available. Lads.. ?

 

[MikeH72]

Bell Philogene again lads.

I agree it has to be a mixture of players for the future and team ready players but we can't exclusively go down the youth route, our squad is desperate for first team players. I certainly wouldn't spend big money on older players as we've just about got ourselves out of the hole we dug for ourselves doing that last time around. Some N'Diaye style signings would be very welcome. My biggest fear is that we buy players and Moyes won't play them. It seems to me that we might be in that position with Barry and Aznou and, despite what others say about Moyes, it appears to me hat he doesn't trust young players OR players who have played in other leagues, which doesn't leave us a lot of latitude. I'm not optimistic he'll play Dibbling that often if we sign him, for that exact reason.

I just don't think it will. I think we, the fans, care about the stadium so much more than anyone else and it is clouding people's judgement about how it is seen externally.

 

[chippy1722]

But we may have recieved an offer for Beto and Moyes might want to accept it, but needs a player in before we let Beto go.

Moyes has not seemed too impressed with Beto.

You really think another team or that stupid.
