Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[maccavennie]

I just want to stop giving out 100k p/w salaries like candy. Just SO many players nowhere near that level that we just gave out. DCL? You having a laugh? Doucoure??? Pickford is the only one anywhere near the level justified with that salary.

100% mate. Been saying it for years. If you sign players and are finishing 16th/17th every season, then the wages better bloody reflect that and they should be on 30-40k a week max.

If players want the big wages and we can't afford to pay it, then I'd happily wave them goodbye and wouldn't begrudge them going to get a big payday somewhere else.

We've got for too many players on contracts that get dished out to sides in the top 6-7 and challenging for Europe, not looking to avoid relegation.

He's also 30 years old and on the decline.

Let's stack a load of players on the downside in the team, worked wonders last time....

I literally said one player

Basic math im afraid.

You can sign 2 players 1st Jan, but if you wait, you can sign 4 players 31st Jan.

The game stay the game.

I included centre backs that Moyes signed at Everton showing the profile. Again this was a point on pace, not quality.

Senderos was a loan, Gardner was a loan, Ferrari was a loan (and played right back). He bought Yobo, Jags, Lescott and Distin. 4 of the fastest players Everton have had in the last 40 years. He also bought ball playing centre backs to play alongside them Kroldrup (who flopped but was a good player in Italy by all accounts) and Heitenga who was a big success. If Moyes signs centre backs lacking pace then every manager in the league does. I wouldn't even classify Heitenga as slow.

ffs

You gotta gas up your car and get the player in the trunk.

Dunno how low a level you're willing to go but the lad was close to 1 in 2 two seasons ago in Denmark.

That's a bit more promising tbf. I'd only seen the French league numbers which aren't great. £25m still feels high.

 

[blulouie]

According to wiki it was a 19m euro deal to Fulham. If that's true we shouldn't be paying higher than that

That's 16mil in £'s
Not a great deal nowadays.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Surely today's ruling means we can go out and spend?
Knowing moyes it'll be one, two at best before deadline day when we sign a 16 year old eastern European keeper and a few randoms

 

[ToffeeScot]

We should be all over KWP from Southampton. Can cover both LB and RB and is good going forward.

Yep thats correct. Being rapid is not a requirement of Moyes or all other managers for a CB it seems.
