Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

I really don't get the McNeil isn't a Moyes type player.

For me he is a player i think Moyes will be looking forward to getting back in the team. Works hard defensively, keeps the ball, creates chances and scores goals.

He isn't however a no10.
Agreed I think he very much is a Moyes type player.

He is a slightly superior bily let's be real
 
Its a limited market though mate.

I dont really want players unless they are seen as key players for the next 2-5 years.

Prefer to go with what we have, if we cant do that.

Thing is mate, I don't buy the limited market thing as much as it's made out, I think it's more like clubs are on much tighter budgets during the January window.

Fir example there's loads at Chelsea right now who are available who now want to move for more game time, same at City and likely around a lot if the top clubs with huge squads, throw in the guys who've got six months left so clubs are looking to try to recoup anything, those on 18 months that clubs don't want entering the last year with the big value depreciation and chance they'll leave on frees.

On top players which have fallen out of favour at clubs, and players at any club who financially just can't turn down solid offers for players.

Yeah some players simply won't be available due to a club needing them in a race for Europe or relegation fight etc, but there's also a whole host of players in the above category or who are at this teams who aren't really fighting for anything even at this stage.

Just look at our own squad, would we turn down any decent offer for say Doucoure, DCL, Patterson, Beto, Keane? Yeah a few of those are junk but DCL, Patterson and Beto definitely have value for some teams.
If we were say at comfortably mid table I'd suggest a lot more we'd listen to offers for etc.

You don't see anywhere near the signings for a good few reasons more than simply availability. A good majority of teams have spent up in the summer and have nothing really left - with PSR especially, some have managers on the edge so aren't throwing good money after bad, for the bigger teams in Europe a lot of their targets will be cup tied so the value they bring to the team is massively reduced, some teams are sat mid table and not in any danger but not gonna be able to push on to Europe so it's a case of why really bother spending in that situation, and all that adds up to less transfers meaning less money going into the market setting off chain reaction purchases.

But if you want to add players and quality ones too then the options are clearly there it's just you need to choose the ones you can get.

For example any club with the finances and pull who really really wanted to add KWP, Mcatee this January likely could get them, same for a lot of other players in the league, it's arguably the best time to buy from south America right now rather than mid season for them.
