Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Somerset Blue]

I heard from a Millwall fan that we are after Romain Esse. I said that I thought he was off to Palace, but he seemed to think we had upped our interest.

I just think Harrison is more Osman like.

Osman was several thousand times more technically proficient than Harrison imo. McNeil is a better comparator, technically gifted, zero pace.

Cracking idea to buy a guy who’s been out of footy for a year and a half ....

Just seen Rico Henry is playing again for Brentford this weekend after a long time out.

He should've made the England squad a few years back imo as was playing at the level Robinson has reached at Fulham but Sir Southgate was not interested.

If he can string games together then I think Brentford might be open to selling him as they've coped without him for last 18 months and very clever with how they sell and buy.

He's far better than Myko going forward obviously and can play in different formations. Also been playing in prem since 2021 so pretty experienced at this level now. I think he's the type who'd appeal to Moyes as a steady eddie type and then can also sign a younger LB to develop in the background.

Just what we need….have you not seen what has happened with Broja. To much of a risk for me

Mcneil can only dream of being half the pundit osman is though so swings and roundabouts

I think Moyes will play 3 at the back and the advantage of having Branthwaite and O'Brien in that unit is that they have pace and we can play a much higher line

 

[catcherintherye]

Osman played his entire career as a starter in a team finishing 5-8 in the premier league. He was a quality player. Nothing like Harrison.

I'm talking more stylistically, not ability wise.

What the hell tier of ITKnowery do we file that under?

The Zatometer may become a staple of the forum for the footballing connoisseurs.

Seems likeliest of the links so far. Textor needs cash and we know Thelwell has a track record of going back to old targets.

Only thing I could see being an issue is Textor refusing to deal with TFG out of spite. Seems enough of an idiot to do something like that.

Fwiw thought he looked an exciting player when we were linked in summer and he's actually a true left footed right winger with considerable pace (!!!)

Hes only started 9 games this season.

Just out of pure interest, are there many Milwall fans in darkest Somerset ? I'm imagining a sect of stone island clad morris dancers.

….Aaron Cresswell aged 35 on a short-term deal. Local lad, wife is also local and just had a mansion built in these parts.

Bit like you eh eggsy?

Ex Red poop and all...

Red though isn't he. As if that matters to money grabbing primadonnas.

Not sure on this level of @chicoazul tomfoolery of posting with a former red?

Hurtful...but harmful?

I love it.

…he’s RS but a good pro, it wouldn’t really matter.

Just like you in 2023 and before...could hope for a 2025 rebrand?

Or is it too much to ask?

I'd prefer a sneaky bid for Ben Chilwell. Much maligned but he's so much better than Myko. In the Baines mold. Moyes would appreciate that.

Despite my hatred for your posts...

...i wonder why you would want a permanently injured player to sign for Everton?

Are you a left back angling for a move or an agent using the forum to ilfiltrate the need for one of your players to sign?

Are you...KIA JOORABCHIAN ????

We sacrificed many of them in the purge of 98, however a few have recently travelled here, not realising their fate.

Tierney would be superb as a wing back in a Moyes team .

Sadly he's hardly ever fit , probably won't come here and question if we can afford him

I heard from a Millwall fan that we are after Romain Esse. I said that I thought he was off to Palace, but he seemed to think we had upped our interest.

I'm sure I read that he'd already signed for Palace

 

[Nymzee]

Going no where!! Locked in my basement until 11pm February 3rd

Filthy sod

Not done yet, I thought similarly. Probably will go to Palace, but he seemed to think we were trying.

He is in a downward spiral since the summer. I feel sorry for the lad, he seems a very nice fellow, but his limited 'footballing IQ' doesn't match the requirements of the current manager in which positional awareness is key.

This said, he has undeniable qualities: rather pacey (but not supersonic at all), strong as a bull in the shoulder to shoulder duels, never giving up, never hiding. But I do think the Prem is a step far too high, though he would probably be more useful in a Moyes' system, more direct an less fluid.
