Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[CairnsToffee]

Makes absolutely no sense for Palace to do that.... Mitchell already there, wages nuts, always injured.

It’s a squad game? Back up really, plus they are probably only paying a small proportion of his wages

I’ve gone from being adamant we needed three signings the other day to actually being pretty happy with Alcaraz as our only incoming. Moyes has basically said we can’t sign the players he wants right now so no point splashing out on crap he doesn’t want I suppose.

He didn’t say that, he said we are not shopping where he would like at the moment, but we are very short now so need squad reinforcements

This is my thinking too. I’d rather we spent better than panic buy because of injuries. I know the squad is thin and we do need reinforcements, but we’ve bought in so many stop gaps over the years, and look where it got us. It’s risky as we hope to get players back from injury for the run-in, but the last 3 results have given us that wiggle room, so the risk is not as acute.

3 Wins but we definitely need at least one more besides Alvarez. Hoping for 2 more tbh

Delap would be the type of striker Moyes would absolutely love.

Hold off on bringing in a other CF, we aren't in the running for Ferguson due to funds by the looks of it so no point spending 10-15m on just a body to bring in, even a very mediocre strikers gonna set you bs k that much on January.

Beto looks very durable, Chermiti bs k in three weeks and DCL 3 weeks after they by reports.

Be tempted still to try terminate Brojas loan as he's broken - use the spot to either try for Ferguson or Mcatee (preferred) on a last minute loan deal and get options on whichever one.

A late loan offer on Diarra from Strasbourg wouldn't be the first option either.

Saw us linked with Ebimbe as well although he apparently failed a medical on a move to France so not sure if that's just bs (sounds it)

Tall Paul starting to cook for Southampton. Get him in Kevin

 

[bluestevon]

He'll be in massive demand come the summer though.

Could argue every team besides City, Villa and the rs would be very interested in getting him.

I'd say we definitely need an attacker regardless. We've no depth at all in any attacking positions

I'd try for a winger who could add goals.
The next centre forward we sign should be our main man for 3/4 seasons.
Not a stop gap.

Yeah agree the young Argentinian lad provides a bit of cover as he has played all over midfield looking at his history.

Would love us to do a Fellaini last minute signing though of a youngish highly touted lad

 

[Tel001]

Never heard of this lad but, on the basis of him being called Merlin, I think we should go all out to secure his services. Is there a Lancelot out there somewhere?

Need some magic in the middle of the park…

Concerned he may have a spell on the sidelines though

Main concern is any setback to Chermiti plus a Beto injury (say he gets knocked out again or something) would be a problem but if we continue to play the ball on the floor and make chances like today N'diaye could probably do it for a game or two if needed

 

[Bluewolf]

we don’t need a striker ffs

We 100% do!

Im made up with how beto played today but we wont be playing Leicester every week.

Also DCL wont be back till end of march april time, broja end of april and chemitti? Who knows hes been injured all season we dont know when hes back.

Thats best case scenario btw. Not taking into account any relapses any of them have and the fact broja is made out of cracked glass.

Also two of those strikers will be leaving in the summer. So why not get a striker in now if a target is available?

Only thing is if Ndiaye had to fill in up front we lose his influence on the wing and progressing play up the pitch ending up having to play Harrison there if McNeil isn't back
