Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

Sky Sports Transfer Muppets have just stated that Broja is staying at Everton for the remainder of the season.

So it's buy or loan from abroad then...

On the subject of Sky Transfer Muppets why on earth are they doing the programme from Battersea Power Station with a live studio audience 🤷‍♂️

Hope it's true. We draw that one at Brighton if he isn't on the pitch and he's been involved in many other points winning action this season too.

He's about 100% more influential to us getting a decent result as DCL.

Keep Beto and get a playmaker in behind him. He's wasted coming back for the ball and chasing down channels. He needs to be on the edge of the box playing off the shoulder of the CBs.

Agreed I said this this morning also. Beto is a completely different type of striker to DCL so the system has to be tweaked. That means playing a midfielder behind him who can thread balls for him to run on to. That player is Harrison Armstrong. We need to get over the phobia of not “risking” youngsters. He’s the only midfielder we currently have who can play those type of through balls. Anyone who watches the U21’s have seen him do it regularly, and he showed it again against Peterborough in the cup. He has vision, and can play. Doucoure, can’t. Absolutely pointless pumping balls up either from deep, or wide areas for Beto because despite his size, that just isn’t his game. Has to be Beto up top, Nidiaye, Armstrong and Lindstrom behind him.

Beto is going, as he wants and as should be. He's rubbish! Alternatives needed.

We didn't pay any of his wages until he was fit to play apparently.

Thats what the Athletic reported.

Yep. That was the deal.

I imagine the countenance to that was Chelsea not taking him back in the window if we wanted to return him. Swings/roundabouts.

Leeds on the other hand won't want Harrison back as they don't want to have to pay his wages (about £1.5m or so for the remainder of term)
