Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[hetion]

Don't blame the kid for not wanting to suddenly move countries at about 20 mins notice. Wouldn't mind going back in for him at a later date though.

Been driving all day. Anything going on?

The usual. People moaning about players they hadn't heard of this morning, some good Merlin puns and Matty did a haiku.

Remove the failure to sign a new right back and I am relatively pleased with the window.

When you consider the failure to sign a RB, you have to view the entire transfer window as a failure.

The points we will drop by not having a first team quality RB in the squad between now and January is genuinely the difference between us challenging for European qualification, and finishing the season 10-12th.

With a cm i am happy with the window. A defender that could cover right or left would have been ideal, but best wait for the best player possible

I agree with your point on not purchasing a defender for the sake of it and waiting for the right player to become available. My view throughout this window is that any right-back signing would have to be a better player than Nathan Patterson, otherwise there would not really be any reason to sign them besides for squad depth.

This window has been a failure.

Don't be daft

Who listens to the radio for Everton transfer news?!?

You want to live in a house with no fitted windows!!!

What if it's a really nice house that's a bargain due to lack of windows???????

You made a comparison to women politely turning you down and then having sex with someone else like they owe you their bodies but are too greedy to submit to someone unless they drive the right kind of car. Come to terms with your misogyny, overcome it, and become a better person.

Wow. That was unexpected.

Is he Gordon Ramsey???

Can't be the swear filter is quite strict on here.

Just waiting on the Rohl announcement

Outgoings are Chermiti to Rangers permanently and Onyango to Stockport on loan

So any right back then

A reminder, folks - a CM was more of a priority today than a RB, as much as you try and convince yourselves otherwise..

All in all, a very good window, IMO. Much stronger squad now than we had for the end of last season.

Having another RB would have been great but I suspect our failure to shift Patto is the reason we haven’t gotten one. The fact is, we have 4 players in the squad who can play RB. 2 of them struggle with fitness granted and none would be considered as dynamic necessarily, but we do have cover at that position. No point bringing in a 5th unless they would be a guaranteed starter and wasting wages, not to mention loan fees, on a benchwarmer if you ask me.
