Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[OneTrueLegend]

Can imagine Bellingham hanging tight to see if Sunderland go up, in which case the best thing for him would probably be to stay put. Best for him in the prem would probably be a stable mid table club who can bed him in and rotate him if necessary, a bit like what Palace did with Wharton. Fellows would be great and its in a position we need someone

Palace were linked with Jobe Bellingham yesterday for £20m, I would say he is certainly worth that in todays climate, if he is able to play in the Prem as well as he does in the Championship he will be a £40m or £60m player within a season. He is the type of player we should be in for, but I dont think we are organised enough

Jobe Bellingham eyed up by Premier League side in possible £20million transfer

Crystal Palace are showing renewed interest in Jobe Bellingham, talkSPORT understands. The Sunderland midfielder is a long-term target for Palace who have had him on their radar in previous transfe…

….i honestly think we buy players from YouTube clips after agents have been in touch.

I think in the past we have often signed players who has the same agent as our manager

I also live in Ipswich, my daughter is in their women's pathway. They have excellent owners, a competent CEO in Ashton and an up and coming manager in McKenna, who they fully believe in and support. They are clearly taking assessed risks. I am not an accountant and also don't understand how this impacts PSR, but the investment has been considerable (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/00315421/filing-history) an additional £75m pumped in during July last year on top of the £89m total from the previous two summers. They were well within the EFL FFP guidelines.

Perhaps they are cleverly structuring deals over a long period with player contract clauses that mitigate the financial risks associated with relegation, on wages etc...

Ultimately, it is what can be achieved if you are a well run club, with competent people and a plan.

Time will tell on this one. When arguably the richest club in the world (Newcastle) are having to sell their talented academy products to comply with PSR, then the current level of spending by a newly promoted club with little in the way of commercial revenue, simply has to be unsustainable no matter how well they’re run. Will be an interesting watch over the coming months and possibly seasons.

I can’t for the life of me understand these PSR rules no matter how much effort I make to research and understand them. I live in Ipswich, they just spent 124 million after just getting promoted, and I’m reading this morning that they’re attacking the market again this January making a 30 million bid for the striker Igor Jesus. This is a club who were in league 1 two seasons ago, have a capacity stadium under 30,000, and have little in the way of commercial revenue incoming. How on earth can they continue to spend this sort of money and comply with PSR? Fair play to their owners, they’re incredibly ambitious and have deep pockets and they’re going to be a problem if they manage to stay up this year. But we’re now hearing Leicester could be in trouble yet again with PSR, Newcastle can’t spend, we can’t spend, Forest like us were hit with points deductions. I’m baffled as to how Ipswich seemingly have a bottomless pit of cash with little revenue, and not a whisper of PSR!

Remember they started from an incredibly low bar. If they spent £124mil and the players are on 5 year deals thats £24.8mil a season on PSR.

They can reach £105mil i think over a 3year period in the negative which would be £74.4mil as things stand solely based on the £124mil you mentioned.

Lets not forget they will have increased revenue streams to be accounted for and TV money increases.

This often means promoted clubs are able to spend more than mid table sides.

No Eggs we buy players because of how cheap they are and how little up front we can pay that must be obvious. That has been happening for the last 2 years 4 transfer windows, or si ce Moshiri washed his hands of us. Also you might have heard we have had a few psr problems the last few years too and yes the signings could have been better.

Wasting your breath. Stephen Warnock has no concept of money.

A free signing is the same as a £40mil player.

A signing with £0 up front and the balance on the last year of their deal (O'Brien ?) from a potential owner...and a free loan from the same chap (Mangala) and a similar back-ender (Nuamah) all apparently are made by the DOF and count the same as Ndiaye for example.

Don’t be ridiculous. Your desperate attempts at smearing the current director of football is not only embarrassing, but also rather creepy. Your obsession with him is weird in the extreme.

Then what about Forest when they got promoted? Everyone went on about them signing all those players but they actually spent less than Ipswich have, and a big chunk was offset by the fee they received for Brennan Johnson! Ipswich never made a such sale. And yet they got deducted points and are said to again be close to a breach this time around as well. It’s definitely one to keep an eye on with Ipswich. Their commercial revenue is paltry compared to others that have breached or come close to breaching.

Thats the thing, Forest i think previously had a lot of loan players which is partly why they signed so many -- on sheer numbers alone the agent fees and wages must have been monumental..

There are all kinds of factors taken into account.

With Everton, funds for the stadium are not related to PSR/FFP. However the league have been trying to claim that any loans taken for the stadium build -- with interest from 3rd party's / owners should go onto PSR.

There appear to be different rules for different clubs. Chelsea sold a hotel to themselves.

Its just like the bent refs.

Us and Villa combining again to tackle FFP.

Should have just signed him in the summer instead of Harrison

Don't think we had a chance with Villa coming in for him

To who?

 

[ToffeeScot]

Makes sense. We need a RW regardless who the manager is and from what I have seen of Philogene is that he provides the same kind of trickiness and unpredictability that Ndiaye does.
