Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Yorkshire Post reckons both clubs would have to agree to terminate the loan.

There is another way we could go about it, we could sign Harrison now. Not ideal butt it would free up the loan space.

Good point Leeds aren’t the best team to do business even if it was prudent. My thoughts is Harrison is not the same as last season. Doubtful if we take him on again.

Sign gnonto and let them have Harrison back as cover.

That’s one of the craziest ideas I’ve ever heard, sign him now to free up a loan and keep him here even longer, are you part of previous recruitment? Go on tell me you gave Holgate 70k pw

They don't want Harrison back

They don't want Harrison back

And rightly so. Leeds and Chelsea have every right to play hardball with him and Broja. More terrible recruitment.

It's not ideal but it would give us space to get a forward on loan.

The alternative may be Doucourre up front in a Feillaini 2008 tribute

 

[Tipp blue]

No. That sort of attitude is dangerous. We have a paper thin squad and a tricky April to come. Might not take much for things to turn.

EDIT: it’s about how potential signings see us, not how we see ourselves.

We'll be well out of this mess come April, 33 points could well be enough this year the bottom 4 are utter garbage.

Some good players in that list, the top ones won`t be achievable but there are some that could be interesting and some we`ve been linked with previously.

Jonathon David - 25 - Lille
Tyrick Mitchell - 25 - Crystal Palace
Kyle Walker-Peters - 27 - Southampton
Ola Aina - 28 - Notts Forest
Tariq Lamptey - 24 - Brighton
Mario Pasalic - 29 - Atalanta
Sergio Reguilon - 28 - Spurs
Nicola Zalewski - 23 - Roma
Krepin Diatta - 25 - Monaco
Frank Anguissa - 29 - Napoli
Angel Gomes - 24 - Lille
Alex Meret - 27 - Napoli
Josh Dasilva - 26 - Brentford
Roony Bardghji - 19 - FC Copenhagen

Others on the list.... the 3 Kopites exempt.

Alphonso Davies 24
Josh Kimmich 29
Leroy Sane 29
Kevin De Bruyne 33
Jonathan Tah 28
Lionel Messi 37
Ferland Meny 29
Thomas Partey 31
Christian Norgaard 30
Neymar 32
Marco Veratti 32
Christiano Ronaldo 39
Callum Wilson 32
Nelson Semedo 31
Adama Traore 29
Victyor Lindelof 30
Jorginho 33
Koke 33
Ilkay Gundogan 34
Mario Lemina 31
Fabian Schar 33

I'd take a punt on these Messi and Ronaldo characters. Might offer something.. Imagine those two walking out into BMD first game next season. Right fun until we are trying to justify spending 4 million a week on salaries of 2 players to a commission.

Annoys me the injuries. I know every clubs gets them but the regularity by which we get long week injuries is ridiculous. It had got better last season but seems to have reemerged again. Quite simply we’ve barely seen any of Chermiti, Broja, Garner, Iroegbunam all season and it looks as though we’ll now not see Calvert Lewin Mangala McNeil for a long period. This to go with Branthwaite and Patterson missing the first month of the season.

Most teams tend to have one long term absentees and then a couple who are in or out for a few weeks with minor niggles. We always seem to have three or four long term write offs and then another three or four out for a few months at any given point.

This is what happens when you are crap at signing players, We signed a man on loan who was already Injured and nowhere near returning.

Why all of a sudden is it so hard to terminate loans ?

…not sure it’s ’all of a sudden’, I imagine it’s contractually bound unless both teams agree to terminate. Probably easier to include a return option for the parent club.

A man with a AWFUL injury record and then act shocker when he gets injured again…who knew!!!

 

[billyblue80]

If we're going to carry on playing with three at the back, do we need one right now?

Yes you need options in a squad to change it

 

[billyblue80]

Same. I know it's all good in hindsight but to loan a player who wasn't to be back till into October that no one else was taking on seems daft considering we could have loaned him this month or looked at other options

What baffles me is why there was no break clause, for a player that injury prone?

 

[Eggs]

They don't want Harrison back

…and hopefully we don’t want Gnonto.

 

[Eggs]

…..best forgetting about the domestic loan situation unless our situation changes.

It’s permanent deals.
