Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

I'm not suggesting we should, just what I think will happen.

But, he's played 104 PL games across the last 4 seasons and your argument works both ways didn't it. Just because he's turning 40 doesn't mean he will suddenly stop being able to play football.

If you look around the league, players are effectively able to play longer now and it's not unheard of that outfield players play until they're 40. Don't forget, Moyes had a 40 year old Giggs playing at Utd.

Personally mate I think it does mean that. We saw it with Distin, players at that age can suddenly overnight just lose their legs entirely. Personally I think this has already happened with Young, which is why he hasn’t been instructed to do anything other than stand in a position and kick the ball away when it comes near him for the last year. It would be ridiculous to give a 40 year old a new contract in my opinion and I don’t think Moyes will entertain it.

I think we all know we won`t be spending huge amounts in the summer, I`m sure those saying save the money fully expect the club to spunk £100m or more but that simply is not going to happen.... we all know it, plus players signed permanently now will have been here next season reducing the task in the summer.

And bedded in.

The whole situation still feels like short termism is in charge.

There doesn't feel like any permanent roots are being planted either on the ownership or management side of the club.
