Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Goat]

Yeah. As bleak as it sounds, I'm sure we'll have money to spend. But, I was not expecting the financial picture to still be so bleak tbh.

Will still be a tight one this summer. For example, I've got a horrible feeling we might consider it cheaper to try again to keep some out of contract players we really should be moving on, rather than buying new players. People like DCL.

I suspect we'll have to consider a sale. Although, on the plus side, Bobble did say that all the media stories about Branthwaite pushing for a move for the sake of his England career are nonesense.

But Branners is our only real saleable asset.

We should keep people like DCL and Gana, nobody else tho, but I suspect we might keep a few more.

The accounts need to be made public in a few days, so the picture might become clearer then, the issue is, we wont really know what is and isnt Stadium related.

Personally I can still see us spending a vast sum this window, simply cos we need to.

We have some savvy businessmen involved in the club who are no doubt exploring every loophole they can to give us a good Summer, thats based on nothing but my own thoughts and time will judge that comment.

Because he’s not good enough, if West Ham don’t want him, how are we supposed to kick on past them, playing one of their has/never beens

They bought Wan Bissaka, who has been there best player this season, a clear upgrade.

36 games last season under Moyes
30 games the previous year
28 the year before that

Clearly rated by Moyes and clearly a Premier League standard player

So when in January it said we were fine regrading PSR, what period was that covering because that’s confusing. I presume we must have been in profit for 20/21??? Also aren’t the accounts due soon, which would be 23/24 and going off them figures, we could be 25mil in profit and still be over. Then you have this year 24/25 ending on June 30th, so from July 1st which will be 25/26. The two years you’ve posted will come off???

So with all the new financial improvements, stadium, debt reduction, reduced interest payments, better sponsorship deals, naming rights deal. I’d expect us to spend some money this summer. As these recent accounts are 2 yrs behind and while there’s hearsay, nobody actually knows the true figures. And from July 1st we have till June 30th the following year to balance that accounting year. Add into the fact PSR is going and getting replaced, it all adds up to I haven’t a clue.

I’m just hopeful that are new team in charge of the club have some brains, unlike the last bunch and can come up with some clever accounting, to help us kick on. Or maybe just sell goodison to the ladies team

Honestly mate, I don't understand it all. Just repeating what was said.

They were basically saying that we are almost out of it all, but this summer will still have some complications.

It's what I'm hoping for mate.

I was shocked that it's still so bad tbh. Probably explains why TFG were so keen to keep Dyche until the end of the season, despite all the mounting evidence that they shouldn’t. Really didn't want any more PSR negatives.

we will just have to be very savvy with our purchases in the summer

utilise our loans properly and bring in some players out of contract like alexander-arnold, van dijk and salah

They were talking about it on A View From The Bullens a few times over the last few weeks.

They were saying that it looks like another year of losses for the club this financial year. With PSR staying on that would mean all 3 years covered will be losses for the club.

- £44.7m lost in 21/22
- £89m lost in 22/23
+ another expected loss this year.

There will be some written off as permissable, I'd imagine, and we should have increased revenue from the ground move, which should give some flexibility for spending. But it sounds like a complete rebuild will have to be predicted on low down-payments again, or maybe a player sale.

We don't even know the accounts for 23/24 yet, let alone the numbers for 24/25, let alone the projections with all the extra income for 25/26, so anyone trying to project what the summer budget is will be is doing a lot of guessing.

They weren’t PSR losses, they hadn’t factored in all the allowable deductions. We’ll be fine, we aren’t going to breach and we will spend money this summer.

This is pretty much a non-issue now as the low down-payments were due to a lack of cash flow which is now resolved. For PSR purposes, which is our only real limiting factor, down-payments are irrelevant.

I wouldnt want Van Dijk or Salah on a free mate, they are both over 30.

To be honest I'd question Alexander Arnold too, based on he's approaching he's in his mid 20's

Its a shaem we missed out on Archie Gray, but Kobbie Mainoo might become available

i feel like we should have took a punt on mbappe when he became available on a free

missed opportunity that

 

[mccole]

I wonder if we take a gamble on Johan Bakayoko from PSV? Undoubtedly talented still despite being dropped for Perisic of late. We've been linked in the past and I think we could negotiate a cheaper fee this summer.

Great player but very hit and miss

 

[Blue peter]

Never played a game for the club mate.

Call me a romanticist but I like my Everton players, to play for Everton.

I’d like some of the Everton players to play for other clubs to be honest

Good point mate. Was trying to read between the lines. My bad.

Will still have to be tighter with fees and wages for amortisation purposes.

Are we really the sort of club that can afford players who aren't hit and miss, though? I mean, look at Doku at City. The absolute epitome of hit and miss and he's at City.

Yeah absolutely, the point remains true that we need to be very shrewd and sensible with what we have, and as we've learned from the Moshiri era that needs to be the case no matter how much or how little the budget is.
