Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Exeter_Gently]

Would literally be the last thing I would do mate. But we don't have many assets. Point was, if they club want to sell a player in the future to fund spending now, it has to be a player they can more or less guarantee there will be interest in.

He our one shining light.

Young Evertonians are short on heroes...he a hero.

He's goldust at the minute.

Doesn't sound like we'll have a lot of options this window due to clubs wanting big money upfront. There's even rumours that WBA would be looking for £10m upfront just to consider a deal for Fellows.

Could be a tough one . . .

Tbh I have abandoned hope of us signing anyone this window. All of the leaks coming out suggest the club are trying to soften us up to that idea.

We are going with what we’ve got lads. Let’s hope McNeil, Tim and Chermiti get back sharpish.

 

[Nymzee]

What they are im not sure.

Someone that scores goals and someone that makes goals.

Patience mate, Moyes is just deciding on what world class player he wants as his first signing back. It sets the standard.

It'll probably be the greatest player we've ever seen in the history of the game.

Hey lads it’s not all negative. At least we’ll have Broja back for the last 3 games.

*weeps silently in a corner*

But Brett Angell has retired?

Think of Brett Angell, x1000 and you get The Straq. Now, x10 ÷2 +1 and you get a Barlow. Now, square Barlow, -2 and then x50 = the greatest player we've ever seen about to sign for Everton hallelujah amen

If theres "zero depth" currently then typically you buy superior new starters so that the existing players would become squad players.

However, you can also bring in top young players to come in to the squad and push the current starters to perform better. This would be what we have seen whenever the top sides bring through/in a younger player.






We dont need "players for the now" or "players who can walk straight in".

Yes that would be great if we could sign a player that would come into the 11 and be a star instantly and for the next 5 years + sell for a monumental fee.

How likely is that currently?

So, what we could seek to do is increase the competition for places -- young hungry players that can push the starters all the way.

I dont want to throw out more names but...as I said Dibling comes into the squad competing at RW and Lindstrom knows he needs to deliver every week or the kid takes his spot.

Rigg comes in and old man Gana will know he cant let his level drop or the boy will retire him.

An 18/19 year old left back coming into training and playing 40 yard passes could make Mykolenko try to be more open and productive.

You dont always need immediate improvement from signings...you would be better off surely if the squad was improving from a new signing -- its well known that the better quality the new player is the whole squad gets a lift.

We wont sign a starter with the same quality as these kids.

Nobody is disagreeing, it's just not going to happen

Reminds me of Greg O'Keefe with his "Everton have decided to keep their powder dry until the summer, where they'll have a bigger warchest".....to then scramble round on the last day to get Straq and Drenthe

‘cut their cloth accordingly ‘ then the echo would try and make out like it was by choice and not cos we were skint, hated them days

 

[MisterJ]

If you had to pick only 1 position to strengthen would you go for?

Youth goalkeeper

Yeah that was another throw away piss take line they'd say.

Same as you, was absolutely sick of hearing it.

Pathetic really, finishing 5th and 6th and only once in a blue moon did he splurge decent money.

We were masters at PSR before it was even a thing.

That was because Kenwright was using any money we brought in to pay off his own debts that he’d taken on to purchase the club while disguising it as “other operating costs”

 

[Bally1989]

any chance?
