Summer transfer window

[wilks_bfc]

Not reliable, but have a look through all of the teams

https://www.spotrac.com/epl/everton-fc/cap/_/year/2025

I know he’s been out injured but I doubt that Beyer is only on £3k a week

[warksclaret]

I wonder how much playing each week matters to Josh. It may be a challenge at Everton

Why?

Because it "appeared" it was basically all wrapped up days ago, including the medical and we were supposedly well down the road with Broja before we started sniffing round Les. Obviously I could be wrong and tbh I hope I am because he could potentially be a brilliant signing, but things don't tend to be "imminent" in the transfer business for 4 or 5 days.

How do you know we didnt have a good sniff of big Les before then nipping out for a cheeky sniff around the back to check on Broja

[Juan Tanamera]

Anyone planning a late evening vigil?

[Elizabeth]

The Broja deal has got to be a dead duck after all this time. If it isn't and he's actually announced as joining I'll be pretty surprised.

A striker may or may not be the difference between staying up and helping our finances or going down and going through the whole uncertainty once again. It doesn't have to be Broja, who has question marks already over his injury record, but who a lot of fans are willing to take a risk on. Fair enough.

If the club are being messed around by this agency ( reps) I trust the club to do the right thing and take up other options that are still out there.

[Woodleyclaret]

Salech for Cardiff looks a class above. He will go on to gave a great career and he would imo be worth signing to develop

Looks a similar type of player to Broja, you never know.

[exilecanada]

Whichever way it’s spun though, a player of Josh Brownhill’s level; mediocre by Premier League standards (not intended to be a criticism) should never be able to command wages of £100k per week. The £85k per week that we reputedly offered was bonkers enough.

Last season Brownhill scored 18 goals playing a position, a more advanced role, than he’s never been required to previously play. Possibly Everton or other PL teams sniffing around him have recognized he could be an asset for a PL club playing that role and are willing the shell out the big bucks?

[BurnleyFC]

Fair play to Josh if he can earn that amount of money at Everton.

I still wish he’d stayed with us and it isn’t sour grapes but I can’t see him being a regular stater for Everton.

He’d have been better joining Toronto, earning some big bucks and playing week in, week out if that was ever an option for him.

[billyhamilton82]

Not sure why we haven’t been linked with Mads Hermansen from Leicester

Signed for West Ham for 19m Euros

[CrosspoolClarets]

Good luck to Josh if he signs for Everton but it has to be a downgrade for them from Doucoure. Josh as we know bags plenty in the EFL but in the PL even attacking midfielders of the quality of Maddison, Eriksen or Ward Prowse struggle to score at will and Josh is way short of those guys. If they play him as a 6 or an 8 he struggles even more.

[billyhamilton82]

Broja's agent is FA Sport.

Looks like Broja along with Levi Colwill are their biggest clients by some distance, I hope they know what they are doing for the sake of the player.

Thought he was a handful when we played against Cardiff and he took his goal well. Surprised he hasn't been linked anyone.

[Tricky Trevor]

Re:Salech.
Watched him tonight in third tier and he never troubled Debrah. Saw him have some decent games last season but he's not PL ready and that’s what we need.

[claretlegend]

Does anyone have any information on what sort of game time Broja, Ugochukwu and Dubravka have had this pre-season?

Great question

Is that you Scott?

[Kevwando]

Dubravka has played 45 mins.
Chelsea haven't played any pre season games yet. Not sure if they have featured in any behind closed door games.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Respected BBC journo (yes they do exist) Kinsella reckons Broja has now given green light for the move. I take that to mean the agent holding out for something has now ended.

[Robbie_painter]

Surely winning the club World Cup counts as pre season?

I wouldn’t class a Club World Cup competition as a pre season. Anyway, they didn’t feature!

They won it

It was classed in the football world as an end of season tournament.

Not a preseason. Although I get the blurrification.

[ollieclarets8]

Do the clubs post Reveals over the weekend?

Was the Ericsson link genuine, or just Twitter nonsense?

Sony a matter of time until he's announced.

No need for the sarcasm.
I think he's still quite mobile, but will he get a good reception at the Turf?

[ollieclarets8]

Whatsapp, I was only kidding.

We need to move fast else he might be Huawei to Sunderland

[Firthy]

Can't make my mind up if that's the best or worst pun I've heard but it did make me laugh

[RogerBest]

Apparently we have offered him a castle with a moat or a Rolls Royce as a signing on bonus.

He has to choose Moat or Roller

[scouseclaret]

Was the Ericsson link genuine, or just Twitter nonsense?

Daily Mail nonsense I think

[burnley007]

He has to go somewhere. We shall see

[DingleDangle]

Probably rubbish as it's very sketchy, but this has cropped up on the TransferFeed app in the last couple of hours. Seems to suggest some kind of exchange deal involving Broja, unless I'm reading it wrong? :-


However, yesterday Fabrizio Romano stated that Chelsea weren't looking to replace Colwill, as they have Hato to cover LCB:- https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1953568986727071801

It’s speculative nonsense to fill space.

[Woodleyclaret]

Steve has a value of £50m

Update on Broja. Hopefully everything agreed and signing within 24 hours:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/ar ... wyd4xwqelo

Yeah was thinking that just by the way it was badly worded, but thought I'd share it anyway.

Chelsea are still waiting for the 2024/25 season to end.

Managed to spell his name correctly twice out of five goes;

They also have a comedy value for him. You might get his signed shirt for that price!

[Claretfanatic1982]

Some fall out I think since the 2 separated there's been nothing but complimentary words. Some might suggest the fall out was fantasy.

Exactly, there was no public fall out at all.

Bellamy even said in an interview that Kompany was the first person he spoke to when offered the Wales job.

You don't do that with someone who you have fallen out with.

An extremely strange falling out do that's all I can say. At the time with kompany overseeing the relegation & subsequently leaving I think some people wanted to paint kompany as an argumentative control freak & the falling out story served that cause.

[Claretfanatic1982]

We just need to make sure they don't get the OPPOrtunity to make this happen.

[Tinribs]

Broja to be announced tommorow before Lazio game and paraded on the Turf

[Jakubclaret]

We just need to make sure they don't get the OPPOrtunity to make this happen.

The OnePlus point I can think of is it would be an honor if he arrived however unlikely.
