Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread


In fairness mate, I'd be delighted to add 2 x Kudos's or Gakpos

If you look back at the prices I wrote down then based on the £60mil figure we couldnt afford that :(

I'd much rather we went younger and gave opportunities to the best we could find.

Dibling actually would improve us imo

For sure & Rigg I suspect would push other players to deliver.

As with Wharton, the time to go for these types is in Jan.
 
Lookman to me always looked like he had the quality but was never given the minutes. Remember having a conversation at the time with my brother that he would end up a top player but not for Everton.

Would be lying if I claimed to have predicted that Robinson would develop how he has, but doesn't make it any less frustrating watching myko every week knowing we let him go for peanuts.

The point I was making is more that if we are going to sign young players this summer (which we should) we need to learn from those mistakes and have solid plans on how we manage the development of our young players. When you look at players like those previously mentioned, Patterson, Vlasic, Kean, Nkounkou, Onana, even O'Brien this season - it's clear our strategy behind the scenes has been all over the place. A few of those players are now turning out to actually be decent footballers at other clubs. All they did at everton was stagnate and depreciate in value.
Depreciate? We made money on most of those mentioned. But I agree that our strategy is a mess.

Yeah on the one hand I'd love us to go for Rigg but realistically we're a team fighting relegation and IMO can't really be looking at players like that. He'd come at a fairly high price and would need some bedding in time. He's more a transfer for a stable mid-table club IMO. Dibling is a bit different IMO in that I think he'd get straight into our team on the right wing. Not that we can afford Dibling anyway like, I'm more just speaking theoretically.
