Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Raino85]

….the Joe Royle era also saw Tommy Wright, John Hurst, Brian Labone, Derek Temple, Alan Whittle, Jimmy Husband, Colin Harvey et al come through the Academy. It was a time when players were told whether they were coming or going, much different to a Rooney or Anthony Gordon coming through. Osman and Hibbert might be the last of our one-club players.

These 2 a perfect example of being a 'young homegrown' player meaning relatively nothing in terms of someone wanting to stay at your club. Both refused to play, wanted out, made kissy faces to anyone they could.

Someone like Richarlison, born on the other side of the world, with no genuine reason to like us apart from we were paying him good money, literally put his body on the line for the club, could of messed up any potential move for him (could argue it has with the injuries he's suffered since)
