Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

Hes got a goal involvement per minute comparable to beto!

Ferguson involvement every 160 minutes

Beto involvement every 168 minutes

Not really seeing the proof of this potential tbh

Sometimes stats are deceptive , ferguson from the eye test is a solid player when fit , also can play more of a target man role unlike beto

I'd not class him as injury prone, one bad ankle injury and a minor one.

Bit like calling Barkley it at 20 cos he'd broken a leg and missed a year, majority of players his age are still in the academy and you'd not even have noticed hed had it by the time he broke through.

Be way more worried if it was hammy or thigh etc

Its a recurring ankle ligament injury that is still unresolved and was originally mistreated. That to me would be a massive red flag. Its a call I would not trust our medical team specifically on with 40 million on the line and our last big swing at a striker for potentially years.

Anyone heard of Bologna's Santiago Castro?

Mate thinks we are looking into him

The raw potential is there. Surprised if Bologna open to selling at this point. Sounds like they would want a nice profit on him if so.

Wouldn't be against but doesn't seem to fit Moyes' criteria for this window.
