Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[micknick]

I would be mortified if we did, but with Moyes supposedly being a big fan of DCL, it wouldn’t surprise me, as we are likely to be priced out of most striker deals this summer with every major club needing one. Plus, Moyes is, and always has been, absolutely terrible at signing strikers.

Just have to hope DCL turns down his deal.

Andy Johnson, Yakubu, Saha were decent and Beckford played his part.

Isn't Mbappe's mum his agent?

Think he'd want big wages, Jonathan David would be great for us but apparently he's the same.

It's actually Moussa Sissoko now, even worse!

Does feel like an easy link that and longstaff

Longstaff was from Dyche and still it goes on.

In 90s ever summer we were signing Dean Holdsworth/Trevor Sinclair…

Linked since the other kopite pig was in charge because of his time at the barcodes. File under tenuous drivel.

If we cannot identify a 4th choice CB to replace Keane, we might as well pack it all in.

If we cant find a better CB than Keane available, then the whole scouting department might as well be dismantled.

As does Angel Gomes.

All of the better free agents are after a big wage at a European side. Whether they get that we'll wait and see.

Gomes and David would be real statement signings. We can but hope.

 

[milks]

Both would be terrible

Would take Sean Longstaff any day of the week. Immediately becomes our best central midfielder by a distance.

Ben Mee will be 36 at the start of next season, he's started 2 PL games in the last 18 months, and the first website I looked at suggests he earns £55k a week. This type of thing is very much the same thing as the 'it's a disgrace that we don't play Lewis Dobbin and Ellis Simms every week lad' shouts that come up, only for the players to go elsewhere and prove conclusively that they very much can be any worse what we're watching.

I haven’t checked his injury record, but I’d imagine the reason he’s played so few games is because he’s a 4th/5th choice centre back and Brentford being a suitably well run club don’t find themselves needing to call on him as often as we do with our old boys. He’s there to be a model pro and come in when needed.

Aside from ignoring that my preference was to sign a younger developmental player, advocating for someone like Mee or Boly to get 5-10 appearances across all comps, if that, is in no way equitable to demanding that ‘Simms or Dobbin play every week lad’ because one argument advocates for players actually playing and one advocates for players hardly ever playing…

As for Keane, our team falls to pieces whenever he gets on the pitch, apart from being useless himself he unsettles everyone else around him so any notion of retaining him is just deliberately contrarian nonsense.

And 55k is near enough half compared to what Keane is on so I’ve got no idea why that’s relevant.

Gana is another level, mad shout that is

 

[The Bobble]

No I didn't? From what I read it said you're wrong on this one? Not having a go, Im pointing out what he said in response to Young, Keane, DCL being offered a new contract

Understand your view mate and take, but unfortunately no agreement was reached because of wages as stated elsewhere now too.

 

[Hellerad]

Andy Johnson, Yakubu, Saha were decent and Beckford played his part.

And proven strikers are expensive. Moyes made good gambles with limited budgets at Everton. He also didn’t mind giving chances to out-of-favor strikers when others thought their best was behind them.

Mate never mind Young and Doucoure...give us some real juice.

Gomes? What's happening

 

[Hellerad]

I think the Longstaff rumours stick around because it fits the Everton narrative from recent years. Player nearing the end of a contract and his club has better options.

I think he’d be a good option if priced low, but I also think he’s a local who will sign an extension for them.

 

[buskwhi2]

We need to move away from McNeil. If Moyes could convert him to a left back or maybe a deep lying inside midfielder then maybe but as a winger he’s just far too slow.

He’s good at what we bought him for, a solid player who will work defensively and deliver enough good set pieces to keep a team up.

He’s not good enough to spearhead a team’s attack that wants European football.

He’d be ok as one of the 3 midfielders in a 4-3-3. I really do dislike how we set up

 

[mikel_88]

What do you think the chances be for keeping the other players at the club keane dcl gana i kno things can change fast
