Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[blulouie]

Never heard of him but 20 years old with 6 goals and 4 assists so far this season in 21 league appearances (1500 mins) for Bologna is quite impressive at first glance.

Looks impressive.

Thats OK mate.
The bill is on its way.

I do wonder if Brighton having such a young manager affects his ability to deal with off field issues...

As someone said earlier I think same supposed issues were when De Zerbi was there aswel

West Ham have enquired about taking Ferguson on loan according to ssn . I think that's where he'll end up . I just hope we've got someone lined up because if it's panic signings on deadline day then we haven't changed despite a new ownership

Nothing to do with ownership right now, club isn’t making money, therefore we can’t spend above our means in line with PSR rules. If we wanna get a points deduction next year, then sound get TFG to splash the cash.

It’s only once they get their board together and start making better deals for sponsorship etc from next season and with the increased revenue from BMD, then we’ll have a bit more breathing space for transfers.

Jinks looking to bag 2 rumours on the spin and take his seat on the ITK GOT THRONE after years of toil.

I'm all in for ya mate, don't break my heart.

What was the first one?????

 

[Neiler]

Gnonto has been out on the Leeds first team of late.

Just think well the wage for chilwell wouod not shock me he sits out that deal aint getting close to that money again. With the mangala injury and well tslk before of wanting another mid. Could see a deal for chuk or kdh with us meeting in the middle for the money for a loan including ending broja loan

i understand that and unfortunately thsts how many footballers think, but hes still only 27 and has a chance of playing at a world cup, so surely you’d think he’d take a wage cut for the chance of playing at that

From Andy Naylor (BHA beat reporter) at The Athletic...

Brighton & Hove Albion are prepared to allow Evan Ferguson to depart permanently in the January transfer window.

The 20-year-old Republic of Ireland international has attracted widespread loan interest from Premier League rivals and top-flight clubs abroad, including Marseille.

But Brighton are also open to the possibility of selling Ferguson at the right price, if the circumstances suit both club and player.

Brighton sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, indicated a permanent bid for Ferguson has already been rejected.

We reported in November that Brighton were expected to make Ferguson available for loan during the winter transfer window, while today’s DealSheet cited interest from West Ham United, Everton and Bournemouth, alongside other Premier League clubs.

A move to West Ham would reunite Ferguson with Graham Potter, his first head coach at Brighton.

ALSO

Marseille are among the clubs interested in a loan move for Brighton & Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson.

Any move would see Ferguson — who has not played for Brighton since a draw at West Ham United on December 21 — leave the south coast club for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

Marseille are currently second in Ligue 1, 10 points behind league leaders Paris Saint-Germain and coached by Roberto De Zerbi, who spent 21 months as Brighton’s head coach prior to joining the French club last summer.

Of Ferguson’s 17 goals for Brighton, 15 of them came in 60 appearances under De Zerbi’s coaching.

Interesting what they're asking for and what they'd take

 

[Vaughan]

Chilwell even if he stays fit which he wouldn't us on 200k per week at Chelsea mate, no way we can afford his wages

agreed, but theres a world cup in a year and a half and he could be the starting LB if he’s fit and in form, surely, surely that’s more important to someone whos already made enough money for a hundred lifetimes

 

[Tipp blue]

Not much point in us making new signings then I suppose

On the bright side this clock can never make it to midnight...

 

[NeilMorepies]

Gnonto has been out on the Leeds first team of late.

Yes, Leeds have given up pretending he is good so that someone might take him off their hands.

 

[dixienormous]

Signing him could be revolutionary.

Heard he's a nonce. Likes to kiddie fidel....

 

[Fensta_EFC]

No news is good news unless it's Everton in the transfer windows. We won't sign anyone, it's how we roll.

I'm not saying we DON'T need signings, but if we aren't selling Beto and he is our backup striker, then we need to be using him.

We currently have 4 strikers on the books, unfortunately 3 of them are injured, but does are budget stretch to a 5th centre forward in our squad? Or do we just have to close our eyes and hope to get through with Beto, N'Diaye, and possibly Doucoure or Sheriff from the youth team.

The call in the summer will be for a centre forward in the summer with DCL & Broja not being here, do we want to jeopardize getting a top replacement in the summer, were the budget will be far greater, for a quick fix now?
