Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[blue to the bone]

Haha. Hear me out though. Our biggest threat is from set pieces right? We struggle to score any other way. Why not get a player that can get a decent ball in the box especially with McNeil's injury record. I don't think it's a bad shout short term.

It's a bad shout for 2 reasons.
1 . We have no loan spots left
2. He's on loan at Forest and can't play for 3 teams in the one season.

Did it? Why did we lose £120m over that financial year then

Just because we were financially inept on some transfers doesn’t mean all transfers didn’t work on our favour. As I say, he brought in more money than we spent on him. That is a positive.

Overspending on other transfers, Covid and having to strike off Siggy were major factors

I do still think there is value in the free agent market given our limitations.

Looking at it, Brandon Williams is still without a club but I seem to remember he had some legal issues so not sure if that is part of it.

In addition, Hector Villalba is a right winger who’s on a free after finishing the MLS season. His pure numbers of goals and assists are pretty good and while I haven’t watched much MLS, I do seem to remember him as decent and a powerful finish on him too

Do you have these figures to hand?

Bobbles mate with this. Probably nothing in it .

‘No links or anything’

Yup, the wage bill went up, but we also got money in for him which covered it. (Not just transfer out either)

Do you not know how accounts work? Money in Vs Money out?

Any PL club would have us over a barrel for any of their players on the fee because they all know how little we create and score.

For that reason, I think we are better looking elsewhere in the market where clubs need cash or to try and buy someone young like Ernie and hope to add that final product to his current attributes (pace and ability to beat a man).

The second one is more risky obviously and you could try for years to add the final ball without success and end up with an Adama Traore type player who never quite got the last bit he needed

Can you provide to me the figures that he brought into the club financially, as you seem very confident about them?

Yeremay Hernandez has a release clause if £17M at Deportivo.
Chelsea want him but want him in the cheap to rot in their bloated squad (or farm out on loan for cash)

He is a top player, and chelsea wants him now because there could be more clubs for him in the summer. Additionally, if he gets promoted with his club, unlikely at this stage but not impossible, his release clause will go up to 30 millions euros. Very raw still, has improved on his physicality but still not great tracking back which its a problem in the pl. He is on his way to become a top top player. I hope he stays where he is as deportivo is a team I support and hope that they get promoted.

No, because I’m not wasting my time to prove the obvious to some idiot on the Internet that seems to struggle with basic maths.

You waste your time trying to prove your jarg take if you are that concerned about it.

It will be all there in the accounts.

 

[Raino85]

So that one wage has suddenly become the PSR issue? Gotcha

James Rodriguez's output that season was far more superior to

Fabian Delph (100k a week?)
Josh King (60k a week?)
J P Gbamin (70k a week?)
Theo Walcott (100k a week?)
Cenk Tosun (80k a week)

Thats before i even factor in the players that did play that season but didnt contribute as much

I don't want to speak for Mikey, but I suspect he point is a little broader.

That signing guys, on huge ages in their late 20s, specifically at the whim of a manager who are quite injury prone has not proven massively effective.

The fact that we had virtually no continuity manager to manager exacerbates this.

Ok. Only one of us here has provided anything concrete outside of “but I liked him ”. It’s all there in the accounts, you can read them for yourself if you ever feel so inclined my good old friend @Death. Enjoy your Sunday.

I hope we rock up with his release clause now, get a good productive couple of seasons out of him, then get a huge payday out of him when he leaves to a big European side.

He won’t get a game a Chelsea, he’ll be no up being sent out on a couple of loans before they get rid of him for a profit. Why would anyone go to Chelsea.

I’d agree, normally, if his output was crap, but it wasn’t.
