Joe, I'd like to start with Gilfee Sigitson. It was the longest running transfer saga of the summer, but we got there in the end. I think that it was always going to happen. As usual, two clubs arguing about the price. The player had made his feelings clear that he wanted to come. And yes, as you say, it was always going to happen. It's nice when it happens. Yes, he's a good player. He's going to give us quality from set place. Any free kicks outside from 18-yard box onwards, then I think that Leighton Banes likes to take him, Kevin Morales likes to take him, but Sigitson has got the quality to get on the ball and score goals. And he'll create things as well for the strikers. Will opposition managers be saying to their defenders, Joe, don't give free kicks away around the edge of the box, whatever you do? I would think that they say that anyway, Darren, but they will be aware that the fellow is pretty exceptional without a foot on free kicks. And also another thing he brings to the club, which we haven't mentioned, is size. I looked at it last week and I thought we looked a little bit small when you're playing the big sides, when you're going to play against West Brom and Stoke, sometimes the politics seem to be sort of get it down and headed. It seems, you know, we would be a little bit small, so I like the idea of sizing midfield. With him and Schneidel in there, we can win the ball as it comes on to us instead of chasing back all the time. We can't wait to see Guilfee Sigitson in the Royal Blue jersey. We caught up with our brand new signing, Aquedus and Parker, earlier this week and he confirmed that this is not the first time he's been on Everton's radar. It was a good day to be fair and all I remember about the game being a ballboy, I chocked the ball to Palladir Canya and that was something as a little kid you'll remember for the rest of your life. Someone would have told you then you'd, years later, become our record signing. It's been a long time and it's something you'd probably never dream of, but on that day you've got a little feeling of being on the pitch for a Premier League game, so it's definitely a dream country. What are your thoughts about Goodison Park? Really good. It's always a tough away ground to come to as an away player, so hopefully that will change now and be a good home ground for me as an Evertonian and hopefully this season this will be a tough ground for other teams to come to. What's the first day being like for you meeting your new teammates? It's been good. It's been hectic. Obviously I'd done the medical yesterday so it was a really long day, but they finally got done late yesterday afternoon, but the boys were really good and they were welcome to me really well. It's been nice, good couple of days. Obviously here just to well introduce yourself to the fans and I'll be looking forward to get going, putting your boots on and getting the real business started. Yeah, I can't wait. It's been a frustrating pre-season. A lot of training with no games, so I can't wait to get the first few sessions done and then hopefully get some game time in the upcoming games. So you said about Wayne Rooney, but for you it wants a blue or always a blue? Yeah, certainly. I was here almost 15 years ago, it's a long time, so I'm back in blue now, so I'm happy. Can't wait to see Guilfee Sigurdsson in a Royal Blue jersey. Let's have a quick word about the Premier League opener against Stoke City's nods. It was a win and a clean sheet. They're the positives aren't they? Very much so. You want to start off, especially at Goodison. You want a victory and we did. We got away with a 1-0 victory. I thought it was a little bit slow. Changed the system, three centre backs. Didn't think it quite worked. The manager didn't think it quite worked as well because we scored a goal in the 44th minute and usually if you go into that dressing room everybody will be upbeat and say let's keep it going, but he didn't. He changed the system, went in at halftime, he knew it wasn't really working even though we got the goal advantage and he changed it, went to a flat back four and I thought the second half we were far, far better. You loved winning every game as manager of Everton Football Club Joe, but a win on the first day is a little bit special isn't it? It is indeed and you mentioned the clean sheet. I won't say we've been unconvincing but we haven't been at our best pre-season without looking like we were going to concede goals which was a good part. It's great to win against Stoke who were awkward and traditionally a big side as you say. I'm told that Tom Davis, I wasn't at the game, I was elsewhere in the day, that Tom Davis came on and gave us a little bit of energy in the second half which was certainly brightened things up and it was great to see the younger kids getting a game. We'll know more about our ambitions next Monday night. Maester City away of course. Well it was a great start to the Premier League season, the clean sheet against Stoke City and we also started well in the Europa League against Hadjuk Split at Gwyrddon Park just last night, it was the best of the action. Corner Everton, keeper comes for this and gets a fist on it, picked up though by Baines. Baines can he cut it back? Yes he can and it's keen with his first goal for Everton to put them in front crucially in this first leg at Goodison created by one defender for another. Everton's number four, Michael Key. Baines looked up and picked him out. Here's Gensoglu, a class on doing well, pinching it from Gensoglu, Rooney. Oh it's a great ball from Rooney, Idris O'Connor gave it to Everton. They're tuning it up. Wonderful stuff from the Blues to win the ball back in the first instance. And so eventually guided into the path of Idris O'Connor gave by Wayne Rooney. Delighted first and foremost to get another clean sheet. That's what we aim for, especially in European games at home. It makes it a lot easier going to that place if they don't score here. Delighted with that but also it's nice getting a score sheet, something I've been working on in training the last few weeks and hopefully it'll be more to come. If you tune it up by half time, in my opinion we lost a big opportunity to score more goals in the second half and that was all about that we dropped the tempo and we gave them the belief to dominate the game by some few moments. Still we were dangerous but not like the first half and that was about us and I'm not happy about the second half. I feel like we've got better each game as well and we're getting used to playing with each other. Obviously a lot of new faces so big game Monday and we'll recover now and make sure we prepare well. Two good goals, maybe a big chance for Wayne just before half time to score the third but we spoke in half time to play and to go for more goals and instead of that I think we dropped the tempo, we defend the result too much in my opinion. Picked up though by Baines, Baines can he cut it back, yes he can and it's keen. It's a good header and was a really great cross, clever cross from Leighton by the second post and he won that battle and he scored the first goal. I knew once he got down to the byline he'd probably be looking to stand up at the back post so just sort of shifted there and it's a great ball, well nothing less than you'd expect from him and once I was up there I wasn't going to miss. So Nodd, you and I did the commentary last night from the gantry there high up in the upper bullhounds, it's a dreadful journey to get there by the way but it was a great first half performance and we stressed all along it was so important to take something over there. Yeah it was I think the atmosphere inside Goodison Park before the game as well generated onto the pitch because you need that off the crowd in a European tie you know it's a big game and I thought the boys responded well from the first whistle to certainly end of 45 minutes because I thought Adamola Lutman on the right hand side gave us the width, the trickery, the energy, I thought the midfield two of Guy and Snidling was exceptional. So I thought in general I thought yesterday was our best performance for 45 minutes I thought everybody were at it and I thought hopefully that's the Everton that we're going to watch all season. Be lively over there Joe next week won't it? I think that's an understatement I remember going to Greece and finding that's a way atmosphere shall we say you know where the home crowd had to be caged in and you would have loved that third goal. I mean 2-0 is a great lead you know because we can defend as you just said the one thing that has been convincing in pre-season is our defending. We haven't looked slack for goals giving goals away and we'll need that and if we can get that early goal that third goal that would make it easy for us. But I'm sure that Ronald will have thought and said well if we got a 2-0 lead that's good you know just being an Evertonian I would have loved the third and a fourth. But if we get the first goal over there they've got to get four and I don't think they're going to do that. Well that's it for part one of this week's Everton show coming up after this short break we'll start to look ahead to the game against Manchester City on Monday night. We'll hear Ashley Williams take on that one and we'll show you what happened when Seamus Coleman came with me and Snods to the disability awards for Everton in the community just last week. Welcome back to part two I'm in the company of Ian Snowden and Joe Royal and we alluded to it before the break Joe about Monday night's game to Manchester City. It's tough a place as any to go in the Premier League. I thought that they looked very convincing against Brighton and I saw the game obviously on television and their work rate impressed me more than anything which is something I have no sense of. I haven't always associated with city sides. They've always had loads of talent. We know about Aguero de Brun. We know about Yahya Tory when he plays. But all over the pitch they were hunting the balls so much so that really it wasn't a matter of Brighton getting out of their own half. They couldn't get out of their own third, first third of the pitch you know when they were swarming all over them. Okay it's a promoted side and you take that into consideration as well. But this is a big test for us you know. We have ambitions. We've spent a lot of money this summer and we have ambitions for top six now. You know seventh they're just getting into that next is a big, big jump and I think we'll know a lot more about ourselves after Monday night as for our ambitions this season. Joe I know the transfer fees have gone crazy but to pay 100 million for two fullbacks man city can they justify that? Well I can't say the money doesn't matter snods because it does matter but in actual fact the prices are so daft. I mean you might say did we get a lot of money for Lukaku but you're right for fullbacks which you used to say generally we'll just convert a midfield player and he'll be okay there you know. Arguably two of the best fullbacks. Llywosfelda Carl Walker alongside her own Seamus went with the two best right backs in the country if not in Europe and certainly Mendy is the best left back in Europe. And it hasn't been a weakness with City. We've seen Sabah Yetha went very quickly. I thought he was a terrific player. One season was the best fullback, best right back around and then all of a sudden he sort of lost it a little bit you know so that had to be addressed. And left backs always been if you follow them for a number of years. So I think that they've bought well but as you say 100 million pounds for two fullbacks. My God. 100 million pounds for Tommy Wright and Sandy Brown. Let's hear from Ashley Williams ahead of Manchester City versus Everton on Monday night. You never know in the Premier League I think they've spent well and they already had a good team there with a good manager so you'd expect them to be at the top of the league. Some incredible attacking players that they've got. How much of a challenge is that going to be in is it one year relish? Yeah I think it's one you know as a defender you always look forward to playing against the best players and they have a lot of them. So it's going to be you know it'll be a busy night for sure but it's one that you know hopefully you can enjoy and you know try your best against some of the best in the world. It's the first of a really tough run of fixtures for your city Chelsea Spurs United. Quite a daunting run of fixtures but in a way is it good to get them all out of the way at once? Yeah it's just you can't do nothing about it so you know you just have to take it for what it is and they're all tough games you know against some of the top teams but you have to play them at some point so why not now? And we'll just you know stick to our game plan as always. Pep Guardiola's second season in charge at Manchester City Joe do you think that last season was maybe a little bit of a tastery, a little bit of a chance to find his feet and now he's ready to push on? I think you're right in finding his feet you know in our country anyway let's say in our Premier League because they started off like a house on fire and then all of a sudden reality hit them with a big bang and other clubs worked out a little bit about what they were doing and playing this strange new system with full backs in midfield and so forth and it got a bit rocky for a while for them not that they were ever in any danger but they finished quite strong. I think he knows now and as I mentioned looking at them working impressing at Brighton the way they did I think they now realise what's required in this league and they certainly don't like talent you know whether they play one up front be it a guero or two up front with hey Seuss and you look to their bench on Saturday. They are equipped and probably quite rightly at the moment the book is favourites to win the league. Joe do you think it helps Man City being in the Etihad stadium? I used to love playing at Main Road you managed there, you played there, it was a terrific atmosphere to play footballing. Do you think that stadium is helping Man City a little bit? I think it's something that we're going to have to address as well Snods when we move I mean no one loves this old burpit more than me even though I can't get my knees behind the seats at times but quite honestly it had to happen and I know Manchester City fans I still speak to still say the same thing oh we miss the Keppax you know we love Main Road and it did have that old-fashioned feeling about it but I think they've adjusted to it I don't think they lose many games. No the equality side and as you said they bought defensively but attacking wise wow they've got some terrific players. They have and the thought of Aguero there were rumours in the summer that Aguero might be moving on I thought my word you know please get him out of the way but now you're right they're attacking I love De Bruyne what an attacking midfield player he is. As you said they now have two full backs that will be doing 100 yards shuttles up and down the side of the pitch as well. They've got company they've got Mangala back you know company looks fitish again at one state he must have been the best centre half around until they start getting all of his injuries so all the way through they're both creative and practical for the job what's need. They're going to be up there there's no doubt about it and keep saying it I know I'm looking forward to Monday so much because I think that the test and how we handle Manchester City on their own pitch will be a big point for us. It's a game that we're all looking forward to and let me tell you an event that we always look forward to every year it's the Everton in the community disability football awards. They were stated the other Gladstone on Stanley Park earlier this week I was there so was Ian Snowden so was Graeme Stewart and Seamus Coleman it was once again a terrific night. Tonight we're here to celebrate the achievements of the nine teams that represent Everton's disability programmes recognising and rewarding the certain players for their achievements during the season. It's obviously the disability awards tonight and I've been a part of the disability team for a while I've been popping down the different things throughout the years and it was something I got asked to do and I was delighted to come down and hand out a few awards and it'll be great to see a few of the faces that I'm sure that I've met already so I'm looking forward to tonight. Night to all the different disability teams and all that Seamus was here to give the awards out so that was nice for me and all that so I'm going to have a tone and it's probably proud. Obviously Everton in the community is a massive deal that everyone knows about and it's getting bigger and bigger every year and it's starting to get more praise I think every year as well but to be an ambassador for the disability side of it is great for me and I'm just proud that I can come down here and be a part of it. And some people are happy to see me down here which makes it even better. We love that event Snods don't we? It's absolutely fantastic to see them kids coming up for the medals, coming up for the trophies, little gus every year blowing kisses to all the audience, the parents, it's just fantastic and Seamus Coleman came Joe and I tell you what, what an absolute diamond of a lad he is. I think Seamus enjoys it more than the kids, I really do. Do you know something Snods, he epitomises what this club is about more than any other player that I can remember in our history because he's so community minded, a bit like Nae Smith before him, he's in touch with the fans, he knows he could sit amongst the fans and watch a game and he really is a terrific kid. I saw him make his debut whilst working for television many years ago as Evans left back and if you'd have told me then after that game I think we got our bottom smack sum of about five goals in Portugal and he was playing left back and if you'd have told me the status, not just of the player but the man that we were going to see going on from there, I'd have been astounded but he is, he's all of that and he's a credit to us. The community side here is acknowledged as the best and the biggest and that's not just passing our own back and Lady Deode, Denise Barrett Baxendale and Henry Mooney, people like that, we've just come through a crowd and now Henry downstairs with community people who have problems with people, they're lonely and he's doing a great job and Seamus is so much a part of that. Can I just give you a special mention to Pat Vanden, I was well on that situation because me playing with Pat you didn't think for the community but I tell you what he is now one of the best lads, he loves his job, he goes with Henry all the time and I tell you what I love seeing Pat. Have you had him speak by the way? No. Oh, is he good? It's his education, he's terrific, he's shy to start with but when he warms up he's so funny. It's great to have him back at the club. He's got some story to tell Pat as he's lived some life but he's down there as you say mingling with all these people within the community and he's got a big smile on his face. He's happy and he's with a lovely lady, they're very happy together and it's great to see him but there's so many ex-evils back at the place. You know, you walk in Francis Jeffers, John Ebrill, Dave Unsworth, obviously myself and then fillads, you didn't quite make it taty and all the way through Jevo, Jevons is there, all the way through Ose's back so no, it's a community thing.
