Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Zatara]

Yeah, based on the relevant numbers if the PSR changes go through 150m would be a minimum but like you I think 200-250 is possible, and obviously there may be sales to factor in too.

It sounds enormous compared to what we’ve been doing but even at the top end it’s not too dissimilar to recent spending by the likes of Forest and Brighton, it’s really just catching up.

Another thought around PSR: the talk was we had some headroom to spend this January so doing nothing but a loan that headroom should still be there. If so we’re in good position to aim for a good deal or two in June when other clubs with PSR issues need to sell. Probably get twice the bang for buck we’d have got last month, so maybe a factor in keeping our powder dry.

With that scope of spending with changes in PSR rules across multiple clubs, players prices and subsequently wages will inflate.

We need to be savvy.

Just to add about room to spend, with whichever regs it'll be huge, amortisation is at a very low figure, the loan payment bleeds have been pretty much stopped or greatly reduced to manageable levels, commercial deals will be on a level we haven't ever had here before - including a massive stadium naming rights one, but a lot if other ones also. On terms of wages to income, we will be almost at the level of 60k being the top current contract outside of maybe three outliers (JP, Gueye - if extended without a big reduction, and Tarks - wouldn't shock me to see a longer contract on reduced wages offered there too or even a same btw). We will also have close to zero dead weight remaining in the wage bill which is the single most efficient start point imaginable if the wage/revenue is brought in.

We've been up around 90-92% up until 2023 in this, which shows you how badly we were ran, now we should see an almost complete reset on player wages combined with a sharp spike in revenue.

It's as you described almost the perfect storm in terms of allowing us to spend.

If it was £150mil then i would hope a decent amount was used on signing future stars for the academy.

Today highlights two glaring weaknesses especially for me and no matter how many times people say we can get by maybe so but we have to progress. We need a right winger with pace and a upgrade at left back.

Just read in Paddy Boyland's earlier article that along with Rennes’ Adrien Truffert, Wesley Franca (Right Back) of Flamengo was also tracked

Wesley linked at the start and Truffert, the end of the window.

Both very attack minded players who would totally change the dynamic of the team.

New to Europe and now new to England. Good to have until end of the season to adapt

You must have missed the whole world outside this forum mate, as social media is full of blues crying.

Tell Moyes he is wrong then, and he failed you.

I’m happy we have not panicked and signed Danny Ings or a Rondon type.

This aged well. Keane up front!!

To be fair I’d rather Keane up front than panic signings Ings/Rondon

Of course you would
The point was, we needed someone in all window, an lb, a striker and a winger - was clear today that that is very much still the case and we have the last derby at goodison to come and out of the cup

Yeh and it’s clear still we couldn’t bring in any player Moyes deemed good enough. Otherwise he would have.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Yep.

Yeh and it’s clear still we couldn’t bring in any player Moyes deemed good enough. Otherwise he would have.

And it was clear that was going to cost us
Shame

Tarkowski has been a good signing but is clearly on the decline. I can see someone like Burnley or Sheffield United coming in for him in the summer if they get promoted. It might be a good time to sell him on.

Have you seen the state of our first team?!?

You’re not well .

Why has nobody ever mentioned this before...

Everyone saying we didn’t need any new signings in January - we got, Beto, lindyhop and myko….

Shambles

Out the cup and probs lose the last derby at goodison, yet some creatures were suggesting Moyes had made us world beaters

I dont know if buying a player or 2 would have changed the outcome, personally.

I mean today we had 8 or 9 players off it, so a signing or 2 wouldnt have helped and I really dont see the point in fuming about a game not even played against a team which we have a horrific record against.

Our goal this season was to stay up, we have the players to do that, IMO.

We knew for months that we needed a lb and a pacy forward and a striker … today we had young at lb, awful Jesper and Beto….

We lost that game today because we had no cover and probs same Wednesday

Shame
