Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread


Given we've got so much to do during the summer in terms of players in, 19.5m on a lad who is clearly adjusting now to the league, looking like he suits Moyes and the system/team and is still young enough to improve as a player is a no brainer decision to activate the option.

The above is based on his current level of performance btw, if he improves then it becomes an even easier choice.

The thing for me, is you probably have to pay something similar for the lad from West Brom. Who looks very decent and may have a higher ceiling but is a risk.

If he can maintain his level, I think a deal at what 22m Euros is sensible.
 

Oh on Lindstrom, and the comments about his finishing, I'll throw the vid up of him at Frankfurt, players who can't finish don't score those sorts of goals regularly. That's why 20m is a bargain because as his confidence keeps growing that's what we'll get. The one thing Moyes is very good at is getting lads confidence built up.



The video shows he is actually quite a calm finisher, but probably just needs a goal. You'd go as far as to say his finishing was his strength with the dinks.

On evidence of what I have seen in the flesh, he strikes a ball very well. He has a strong shot, and is also good with his left foot. There's nothing like fundamentally problematic as to why he can't score goals.

He probably just needs to get more shot off in a game.
 
I don't believe there is.
Everton offered the former England international a new deal towards the end of last season and have since maintained their interest in re-signing him on fresh terms, but he has left his future unresolved.

Calvert-Lewin’s gamble — and a fair one, admittedly, in the circumstances — was that there would be a deeper pool of clubs interested in signing him when his Everton contract expired. Even then, he had the insurance policy of a potential new deal on Merseyside to fall back on.

Yeah but I remember how patient people were with Gordon's finishing, CBA trawling back but a fair few were adamant he was useless in front of goal, despite people who'd followed his progress through the ranks insisting he was a very good finisher.

I mean it doesn't outline terms or whatever does it.

I actually think Lindstrom is very similar to Gordon. Maybe not quite as fast, but very similar. And like Gordon you can see it just clicked and suddenly goals came.

Like Gordon he's also got a good leap on him too.

Unlucky Dom I don't think that list of clubs you thought would be lining up for you is gonna materialize.

I hope the club has the sense not to throw money at a player who doesn't want to be here and who isn't worth what he's currently earning.

We have had a lucky escape and should count our blessings we didn't sign him for another five turgid years of 6 goal returns.

That’s the sensible view, and any player with half a brain would do exactly the same.

I think theres the potential of a bit more magic dust from Lindstrøms boots than Gordons, but fairly certain Gordon outruns him no problem.

If we’ve not pulled that deal and offered him a new one on £50k a week (at most, if at all) then we’re effing mugs.

No one is going to risk a bumper contract for the permacrock
