Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

No he didn't.

Yes he did.

Market difficult
'Hope' to get one or so in
PSR

...it was all there in that press conference.

This Window is so over for us.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Imagine being a player we're talking to about signing and watching this lol

I did think that was careless. “We aren’t in the market for any top players, so we’ve had to buy this bloke who ideally I wouldn’t want anywhere me or the club. He is worse than what he have, even the ones that can’t walk.”

Suspect offers have gone in, enquiries made, positive noises. Then clubs of mediocre standing have waltzed in, tripled our bid and offered to pay up front.

They all are Mike, they all are.

Newcastle have just had to sell Almiron to satisfy PSR. They've theoretically got an unlimited budget, but can't spend it.

It's ridiculous, but we're beholden to it at until it changes.

Leicester went in to court and laughed in their faces. Nobody is paying attention to the rules. Newcastle sold Almiron because he’s an absolute bum.

 

[blue to the bone]

A win tomorrow and rightly or wrongly I'd say we won't sign anyone.
Dcl not as bad as feared. Tim and garner available to cover mangala .
Prepare to be disappointed again folks

Oh boy that's quite possibly the most car crash press conference I've seen from an Everton manager...

H looked like a broken man.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

The Keane up top comment, are they taking the .....

PSR chat again....

The whole conference made me feel there is zero plan in place currently.

I mean they can’t control it if Giulia goes off on some mad tangent.

 

[ToffeeTim]

A very strange press conference

Doesn't sound like he is being backed by the new ownership, which is surprising to be honest.

Reading the last few pages must admit I am a little confused, numerous complaints about lack of action, by Thelwell in particular and the club generally, but the same Profit and Sustainability Rules that resulted in points deduction still apply. The new owners have made available funds but this can only be used if the balance sheet allows it. We are assured that after the current accounting period ends in June less restrictions on spending will result, but until then Thelwell has to be creative in the deals he negotiates, whether it is a player he has identified, or Moyes. The hope is that whoever we get, to fill the holes in the squad, is/are effective from day one.

100% correct.

That doesn't stop the pitchfork waving lynch mob who don't care about this from wanting the club to jeopardise their Premier League position by falling foul of PSR again.

 

[blueconverse]

Haven't spent properly for 3 years and PSR is still an issue. What on earth was Moshiri and Bill up to?

Simplistic way at looking at this we are the lowest net spenders in the Prem League over the last 5 years.

We have a revenue only beaten max by 10 clubs max.

We have shifted a lot of players on big contracts out of the club over the last 2/3 years such as Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes.

How is PSR so much of an issue for us compared to everyone else.....

We're Everton supporter mate, we are always prepared to be disappointed.

(sigh...)

 

[blue in oxford]

sounds difficult for Moyes in this window
but players looked happy in training and hopefully pull together to keep us up

 

[Joey66]

Not very hopeful as news reports are very pessimistic now today - before that we were in for loads of options to sign - then again remember Fellanis signing ...... happened after the closing date time as we put the papers in at the last minute - one can hope we can get 1 0r 2 players in ?

No that was Dyche..

We need cover for Beto though ? & a Doucs replacement .....
