Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Tony’s Carp]

I can see City in the market for a CB in the summer and they don't dilly dally like the other Manc clowns.

There's always a price of course but it won't necessarily be out of PSR considerations if we do sell, which in turn will help out negotiating position.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

The way City broke all the PSR rules and were so arrogant about it, they shouldn’t be allowed any new transfers for a long time.

Agree, we should have plenty of scope to spend.

That would be the case if they didnt pay off the league (probably)
For all the charges bet they dont even get a points deduction

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Sadly you’re right. We scraped by and stayed up. They should be in League 2.

we need to see action immediately this summer.

We can’t, and we won’t. We don’t release the PSR shackles until the new financial year on July 1st. We’ll no doubt be working on deals before that, probably even now, but you won’t see any signing made until after July 1st.

My own personal opinion is that we should have done more last month to help with the huge amount of work we will need in the summer.

Again, we couldn’t. Well we could, but that would have meant a sale of an important player prior to the end of June for PSR purposes. Had we not have won those three games on the spin and given us a comfortable cushion, I think you’d have seen us gamble more and deal with the unwanted sale at a later date before the June 31st cut off. Those wins have clearly seen us take the decision to not gamble on short term signings that probably wouldn’t have been of the quality wanted/needed, at the expense of having to lose someone we don’t particularly want to before July 1st. We’re still very close to a breach by all accounts and we have to understand that.

Just have to be patient a little while longer, from July it’s a completely different kettle of fish and we’ll have far more freedom to spend. For the first summer in years, it’s going to be an exciting summer watching the links which always helps get through the summer months without the footie. We normally window shop and watch with envy whilst the mighty Bournemouth and Brighton spend decent money but this year we can actually join in!

If Alcaraz turns out to be the player he looks to be and we stay up while not overspending on duds in January, I’ll call it a successful window.

Yeah don't think many realise that btw so expect a lot of moaning come June.

Only way around it buying before but the contracts run from July, but nobody will do that due to risk of an injury in the intervening period and you'd be contracted to still buy.

And if he doesn’t?

I thought one of the arguments for not doing any January deals was that we could use that budget in June and get more value. Especially if other clubs were up against PSR.

Was mentioned by Paddy Boyland in a Blue Room podcast last week.

Then it probably suggests we should have rolled the dice on some chances available during the window. I’m confident we’ll stay up and being shrewd in this window with spending was the right course of action.

I genuinely think 2 of Ipswich, Leicester and Wolves will go down.. I think Wolves will.stay up.

If it pans that way I will be glad we didn't waste money. Yes it's a gamble. But a 9 point gap says its one worth taking....
