Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[blueblue]

That is because we are used to mediocrity under the previous ownership. Moyes talked about getting elite players,.and TFG also talked about ambition moving forward. Money is not an excuse anymore. If we are not able to convince those elite players to move to us, then for me its a sign, another one, that thelwell is out of his depth. It's time we show ambition for once in a long time.

Money is still very much an issue for us I think.
Then, do City want to sell and would Everton be attractive to the player?

 

[Neiler]

I am not certain that cashflow is no longer an issue or PSR a thing of the past unless it is planned to make some sales before June 30th.

There has been a huge amount of money pumped into the club in the last forthnight mate. Cashflow isnt an issue.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

And that's a problem...we are linked with players either that have past their best or young prospect that are completely unknown at this level. Thelwell list is indeed very small

Doesn't bother Brighton, they get them in, sell them on at a decent price and move up a level with their targets.

This is the sort of level of competence we need after this PSR hindered January window.

What you really mean is no wealthy club does it 's business on deadline day.

We had no choice but to let it go to the wire. An unfortunate indictment of where we are as a club.

 

[RufusCat]

Can we spend freely now the PSR thing has quietened down? If so we should go for both McAtee and Chukwuemeka

The simple answer is that TFG appear to have money available to spend, but can only do so if it keeps us within the PSR limits (over the financial year).

 

[NeilMorepies]

Get on some of these lads Moyes you fool



Surely their sponsors can come to some arrangement.

They need to pull off a smart alec Chelsea move and set up a Project Goodison company for the legacy project and sell Goodison to it

Other teams have shown creativity and imagination with psr, so I am sure we can do the same. The naming deal for the stadium will be huge. Additionally it is the work of the dof mainly to attract the top talent in the country. If he can't do it, then he should be replaced

Why let it go to the wire, if you have a target you can afford get them in early or go with U21'S rather than a six month Ginola, Gazza
at the journeyman end of their career.

Even with the PSR restrictions, some of the transfer / loan decision making has been woefully poor, e.g. Broja.

Cashflow and profitability are two different issues though.

We could be solid from a Cashflow pov but still fail a PSR test.

The owners pumping lots of money into the club will have no positive effect on PSR.

 

[CielosGrises]

We aren’t even linked to McAtee are we? All seems a bit moot.

Linked with West Ham.

 

[D410]

We NEED to be getting a move on.

Which is why i said earlier we have had two separate issues cashflow and PSR.

One of those is now resolved, particularly in regard to the structured deals point you raised. As i said cashflow is an enabler- it was that that scuppered the Gnonto deal in the summer not PSR.

As i also said about PSR in my second quote below........

Think we also need to be realistically ambitious though, up to the take over we had two problems PSR and cashflow. Now its only PSR. Cashflow is an enabler.

Being realistic sometimes means buying twice, Maupay, Beto, Harrison, Danjuma, Lindstrom etc.

What was the point really, we spent money for 0 impact and we still need players in those positions.

They were simply deals we could do.

I dont see why someone like McAtee isnt realistic if im honest.

We have PSR headroom, while we also have 6 weeks to create PSR headroom in the summer.

We can afford players in my opinion - not unltimately so. But i dont want us buying Jack Harrisons on four year deals.

Those days need to be over.

 

[Benno]

Is that you Dyche?

Wish it was Dougie - feet up and on gardening leave with a bag of our cash under me arm.

No....but we should be.

Instead of being linked to the likes of Chilwell that got us in this predicament in the first place.
