Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

There's obviously something not going right with him at the moment with Ferguson, potential and ability are one thing.

Professionalism and attitude complete the package.

There's a reason he cant get into West Ham's team despite his old manager throwing him a lifeline.

We are past trying to recuperate players

Could that reason be Bowen and Kudus? Who would both start for the majority of teams in the premier league?

I think we'd need to be wary re Ferguson, he really has gone off the boil, but he's still jsut 20 years old. Frightening o think what he was doing a couple of years ago has as a teenager.

If it's £40 mil they're after, we could even go say £25mil guaranteed, but a big chunk of cash if he hits a certain amount of appearances/goals

I would probably go for delap first but going to face big competition for him.

If Ferguson came good for us £40mil could be a steal. If he's on song he has everything.

West Ham are in a bit of state at the minute anyway. If he came here, got an arm round him from Seamus, %0,000 evertonians singing Evan, Evan ferguson when he gets his first goal in front of the South Stand, it coudl all come together

Well, my point was simple. This;



... You then waded in, claiming 80% of his transfers at West Ham improve us, and acting as though we've been operating in a similar capacity the past 5 years on expenditure. I disagree, significantly, with both of your points.

To conclude my point then - I don't think David Moyes bought well with £500m worth of expenditure at West Ham;

View attachment 303946

From the top 20, at those fees - I'd take Bowen, and Kudus. I can see why Thelwell really wanted Kudus, but we couldn't get him on loan because Man Utd signed Antony. If we had been able to spend, he'd be here now. As would Minteh, and plenty of others who are much better than that list at West Ham.

So no,, I wouldn't want our next 5 years to replicate West Ham's last 5. Absolutely not.

We shouldn't be benchmarking Everton on the last 5 years of Everton, either.

Some stinkers in that pile. I don't remember West Ham making any big sales beyond Rice a few years ago, so surely they are skating close to PSR with that outlay. You'd imagine it would be a quiet summer for them. Not in great form either going into next season...

Overall I would say that isn’t true. There were a lot of very successful players in there and the duds were not overly expensive at all. Granted there were one or two that stood out like Beattie, but to say his first stint with us wasn’t successful in terms of transfers based on money spent is a little crazy.

Those I listed were all expensive for us at the time. Out of his ten most expensive signings that list included 6. The other were Fellaini, Yakubu (two most expensive ones), Mirallas and Baines. Jelavic was #11 as well.

Moyes had a couple of really good transfer windows and couple that were poor. You think of the good players he signed but remember he was at the club for 11 years and signed a total of 83 players (including loan players and players signed multiple times). Baines, Arteta, Jagielka, Howard, Pienaar, Cahill, Coleman, Martyn were fantastic signings and there was a number of good signings but plenty of players like McFadden, Straqualursi, Drenthe, Senderos, Jo, Jacobsen, Said, Vellios, Silva, M Gueye, Gosling, Baardsen, Valente, and the ones mentioned above.

would be mental if we signed:

Fellows
Delap
Rigg
McAtee
Dibling
Jobe Bellingham
Egan-Riley

Everytime I see Dibling I read Dibbley.

Alex Ferguson signed a load of crap players. Pep has signed some very mediocre players. Nobody is going to get 100% success rate.

Especially with the budget of Moyes. Are you seriously complaining about loan players that padded out the squad like Senderos, Jo, Drenthe (emergency loans like Baardsen) and cheap punts like Gueye, Gosling and Velios? Don’t be ridiculous.

It's now mid-April. He was injured until February. So where does that four months come from? You yourself can see there have been 8 matches since. And there have been plenty of examples of players struggling when they miss the whole pre-season. We have seen it with some of our own players.

Huerzeler seems impressed with his attitude: https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/24521709.brightons-evan-ferguson-gets-high-praise-fabian-huerzeler/.

August 2024, new manager who is baasically a supply teacher trying to get something out of a clearly talented individual who is struggling to actually get himself fit/in form/motivate himself

8 months have passed since and he's binned him off to West Ham in favor for Danny Welbeck

I get it. A player absolutely never can lose confidence, especially if he has been injured for a long time. Must be just because he's s**e.
