Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[formerly manx toffee]

I hope there’s a plan for the summer !

 

[Doc Sick]

Not sure what people were expecting but the January transfer window has been a damp squib in general for years now.

 

[JLW]

It’s beyond a joke.

If this is what to expect under our new ownership going forward it’s not going to go well.

I genuinely think they want to throw this season in the bin ASAP.

This summer is going to be the biggest task in recent memory.

We will find out but at the moment I can’t say at all they have me excited.

 

[Harryflashman]

This is definitely not a criticism but I think this is so indicative of where we are and maybe part of the reason why we are . We’ve been so disappointed and let down for years we convince ourselves that we’re going to be let down again .

It’s why when teams score against us we’re convinced they’ll get another even if we’re still ahead and there are minutes left , it’s why we file out of the ground the minute we go behind and why we make arrangements to meet outside at away games if we go one or two down but not what’ll happen if we win .

It’s been a long time in the making and why I suppose I was a bit disappointed to get Moyes and not some exciting new name . Moyes has though exceeded expectations so far , so long may that continue . I just hope we can get someone else in as well as Alcatraz , win the next couple and start to shake this decades old monkey off our back .

Anyway welcome ings I suppose

I mean thinking about it and looking at all the available evidence maybe we are just destined for a lifelong cycle of disappointment

Is the reason they haven`t announced Alcaraz yet is so they can do the announcement about 9pm and go that is our business done, as if they`ve been trying to do somethin else.....

 

[CielosGrises]

Do you reckon Thelwell has thrown the towel in too ?

We say that every summer and we always fail.

They obviously need to give our fanbase some belief early on as this window has been nothing short of a disgrace.

If ndiaye gets injured, with mcneill out, not sure we'll win a game. If not reinforcements, I would play the u21 in the fa cup...

Our first 3 goals had nothing to do with Ndiaye vs Leicester. He is important for us and an excellent player but we can score goals he isn’t involved in and therefore win games.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Villa have signed Asensio... what a squad they have, we could only dream of having that many good players playing in the Champions League.... we won`t ever even get there.

 

[Ragnar]

Nobody wants that but we’ve known our issues since September it was clearly obvious.

We aren’t paid heavily to do this certain individuals are yet here we are finding excuses for them yet AGAIN.

It’s not excuses it’s a fact. We don’t really have funds, and we’re trying to find players that clubs will let leave in January for small fee’s or loans. You’re not going to get decent players under the circumstances.

Is the reason they haven`t announced Alcaraz yet is so they can do the announcement about 9pm and go that is our business done, as if they`ve been trying to do somethin else.....

That, and also they’ll say the club were too busy trying to get other deals over the line to prioritise his announcement.

Kev and the recruitment team are still looking at Willy Gnonto compilation vids while they’re having their tea. Time for pud puds and then back on the blower to Leeds

 

[mightymoyes]

Both played literally minutes per season in mickey mouse leagues before joining us...not quite players you'll expect to fight to get in the starting 11.

They aren't youngsters though, we have 1 promising youngster in our massive geriatric squad and we're shipping him out on loan.

This also signals to me thats Moyes being here in the summer is not guaranteed.
