Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

Broja really was an awful loan. Thelwell gets credit for his persistent interest and eventual purchase of Ndaiye, but his hyperfocus on players has hurt us overall I think. He had a hard on for Broja since Richarlison left, he was never the answer. Nowhere near aggressive enough and an abysmal injury record. Gnonto is another example that didn’t happen but clearly we put way too much time into. The fact that we used one of our most valuable loan slots on a guy who wasn’t even fit for the first 3/4 months of the season is a joke. I doubt Chelsea let us cancel the loan- we will absolutely be paying for it (in more ways than one)

FWIW Moyes had a similar Obsession with Broja and tried to sign him a number of times for West Ham.

It wouldnt surprise me one bit if we were back at the negotiating table for him this summer
