Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Clarky cat]

There has been suggestions that he had been on Thelwells radar previously.

Yes, while at Southampton or before if I remember, but not a single link to him signing or Everton “mulling/exploring/interested/contacting/approaching” in January until his parent club broke the story.
Hacks + greedy agents eyeing up a bigger percentage = clickbait.

I’ll poke my eyes out if I have to see Soucek do that spinning celebration in an Everton shirt.

I could get used to any Everton player doing that 10 to 15 times a season.

The Helicopter

And quite right too.

If I helicoptered my way down the Bakery aisle in The Asda I’d be banned for life, and end up on a register.

 

[Pabbers]

Just me that thinks Soucek would be a belter signing ?

Perfect for Moyes, very good prem player, and we need central options.

Just as long as the fee is no huge.

I think what we have here is an information vacuum which is being filled by people's fears and concerns.

It quite natural and understandable after the dress we've put up over the years, but I like to think that things have now changed for the better. The Friedkins told us the kind of team they wanted when they took over, why would that suddenly change.

I get the angst, but let's just see what happens

And not the cash register

My main beef with signing soucek and keeping doucoure is you know the football is going to be terrible to watch, even if it makes sense from a points perspective

The fee and wages are the issue for me.

There's a stylistic issue there too but the financials are more important (for me personally)

You are of course 100% right but on the other hand, welcome to the transfer thread - now panic!

Why should that be an issue ??
He is in his prime and would be our best midfielder.

He would replace Doucs wage, and improve us.


stylistic issue = ??? He is THE perfect David Moyes player, in every single way. He fits us perfectly.

Wont be both, no chance.

I find it odd how people really take offence to transfers rumours.

Nah. Fuming at imaginary dreadful transfers is much more entertaining.

Don't think we will keep Dukes or DCL could live with Soucek as long as it's more than £10m . But we have to keep Alcaraz. Would bin the rest of the loans and players out of contract apart from Idrisa.

I don’t see a world where West Ham sell us their top goalscoring midfielder who plays every week for less than £25 million tbh.
