Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[hallamblue]

….its not ‘massaging stats’ to get on the end of crosses from the other flank, its desire, technique and hard work. Lampard made a career of it from central areas, I love seeing wide players with that commitment. Sterling was fantastic at doing it.

From watching Gordon in his Academy days he scored plenty from 20 yards, I used to refer to them as ‘curly wurly’s’ because he’d come in from the left flank and curl them into the top corner. Some of his finishing at Newcastle has been very decent, scored a fine goal with his left foot across the keeper in the past few games.

Speed is clearly an attribute, dodgy hamstring might ultimately impact him but there’s more there than you credit him for. In terms of market value, I expect his market value is at a different level to McNeil.

Gordon is not, and will never be,in the same league as Lampard. His finishing is nowhere near as good. He's fast and he scores tap ins mostly, but there's a reason why he'd rather dive than try and score. He does occasionally miss the crowd with his shots from distance and the net gets in the way, but it's infrequent.

Jack Harrison could make shock return to Leeds United before January deadline as Everton decision awaits

Would you have him back?

I take what I said back. Please god if you exist please make this happen

That longstaff deal is defo a goer.

It seems to be gathering a bit more pace over the last hour or so, Thelwell clearly after the player for a while and I can see Moyes liking a hard working player like that also.

Sky Transfer Show do a feature where they go around all PL clubs giving the days transfer news for each. Everton’s news was Broja staying

Broja this season is as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking competition. Come on Kev pull you're finger out.

Whoever is behind the analytics side of things at Leeds needs firing

I do think sometimes we hold Thelwell to a higher standard than most. No team gets their recruitment right all the time and given that he has had to use the bargain bin and ensure that we have at least enough bodies for a thin squad he does deserve some slack. TFG have to decide whether he is capable of fashioning a squad next season without one hand being tied behind his back.

shaping up to be another standard Thelwell transfer window...

I have heard that news would break of a signing today but so far nothing.

Thanks...

….ha, ha, Groundhog Day for previous windows when you try and guess incomings. Throw enough darts and one day you might hit the bullseye

No. He needs a bonus!

That there be a deal done today. I reckon he is onto his mate right about now

Everton are very interested in Hamza Igamane and want him before the window closes.

As previously reported it will take a huge fee to land the Moroccan striker. #EFC #RFC @TEAMtalk

Huge fee means over 15m in Scotland

Longstaff is a decent player, not quick but hard working, good passing range and a decent shot on him. Would work well with Gana.

But it’s forward players we really should be prioritising.
