Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Tony’s Carp]

Good news is that’s not how it works mate.

With 10 mill you can sign two 25 mill players this window on five year deals!

We won’t like!

Technically we could spend 90m with 10m of headroom as only a half year goes on the books (as explained in the I article)- on a 4.5 year contract only 1/9th falls within this financial year.

But yeah, we won’t like!

It's ten million worth of PSR room which is nothing to with down payments mate whatsoever.

Whatever the final fee is divided over the contract length and then applied against that season's PSR.

So a 50m player signed on a five year deal would classify as 10m if signed during the summer.

If you signed the same lad in January for 50m then his value would be split among 4 1/2 years with the half season cost applying so 5.5m

Down payments have nothing to do with PSR?

 

[Bob Latchford]

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.

The game of football??

Down payments have nothing to do with PSR?

No

You put the full fee on your books day 1 regardless of the instalment plan

But it really helps cash flow to have low down payments

Nope, that’s cash flow mate. Payment structure, actual money changing hands is always cash flow mate.

 

[bluestevon]

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 . . .

Again, does t matter they can ask for it all up front it won't effect PSR whatsoever, if anything paying a huge proportion of the fee up front tends to give the buying club the advantage in overall fee negotiation so would in fact lower PSR slightly.

Twitter by the looks of it mate. His dad was easily one of the best players never to play in a World Cup, Liberia were dreadful. George was an absolute phenomenon.
Sign Timothy and get his dad in to moonlight as a striking coach now he’s not in office

ha ha doesn’t he play for america?

 

[matty1878]

Because he's got 6 months left on his contract and will want a hefty wage. Plus his profile isn't high enough to warrant a club paying a massive fee for him.

How much would you expect say Sheffield United to bid for Keane?

We sell him and lose any of our centre backs to injury before the end of the season and we're in massive trouble. Need at least four CBs in the squad.

more than 1-2 mill

 

[Jimishorts]

We will end up signing Timothy Weahs cousin

we should get Ward Prowse

Almiron for £10m on deadline day.

Make it happen Kev.

Yeah if TFG have sufficiently capitalised the business then down payments should go from a weakness to a strength- to a team like Lyon who are desperate for cash a big upfront payment could bring down the total, in turn reducing the PSR impact.

If nothing else hopefully no more having to pay Klarna tax.

Been saying 10m - ish for weeks.

It does mean we have a chance of signing players but it’s very tight. Ideally we need to see a sale (suspect Beto) to give us real breathing room and stop any fire sale in June.

I suspect we’ll be busy enough late in the window.

Why do you think that Matty?

Why would we need a fire sale in June if we’re able to spend up to £10m now?

 

[Nymzee]

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

*weeps silently in a corner*

There’s no way he doesn’t pull a hammy during his recovery having a massive tom tit

 

[devon_blue]

Hopefully he wins

Defo, just not thanks to him ideally. Reckon he’d be great for us
