Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

I mean, there’s clearly potential there, but he is far from top class currently, and already seems to have a few injury issues.

For the amount they would want, it’s a risk and with the limited money we have, can we afford to take that risk? Yes TFG have money, and we were ‘PSR compliant’ but we may have just scraped compliance for all we know.

I’d rather spend the money on him than say Broja but like I say, it’s a big risk for a lot of money and it’s putting all our eggs in the basket of an unproven 20 year old who has failed to oust a 34 year old Danny welbeck. Really, we need a starting senior striker and Ferguson would be the support for them. But again, money.

A fair opinion mate, and one I shared up until DCL got injured, I'm kinda at the point I want the club to show ambition and go for those players who could be something special - had enough years of watching us simply sign journeymen or faded once good players with zero ambition left for stupid sums.

I do think PSR had its legs cut from under it this season actually, clubs flagrantly circumnavigated it and the league showed it's powerless to stop what we're essentially on enters/DoFs at clubs making secret handshake deals to get around PSR, so us spending more than we can I think is very easily fixable before the June cut off date.
