 Welcome to Toffy TV. Before we begin this video, I was sponsored by one football. He had to keep you up to date with the latest transfer rumours like Nick will have lost his leaving everything. All the scores, stats from things like the whale cutting the cobra America. It's all free. Dan will be a click the link. Pedd is back. Coffee was a bit cold. I didn't make you feel about half an hour ago. Practically a frappuccino. Well there you go. There's no froth in the trot. You have that? Or is it just the cold? The frappuccino is cold. I don't have any of this kind of coffee. If we have a coffee, it's just a coffee. I like what I like. If I want coffee, I'm having coffee. Granules. Listen, you're back with the fresh trim after your break. It's all good. Nicola Blassage once again. It seems we've done a few with Easter about this season. Going to do something lads. No, no, but keep the sponsors happy. Because it's been going on. The story's been ongoing from about January, hasn't it? Do you think you might want to leave? I think possibly there's an option that he wants to go. I think we thought he was going to go and then I think Paul's just done something a while ago saying that they're actually considering keeping him in the squadwit on your curi. But now it looks like both of them are getting bombed out. First and foremost, are you bothered if last hit goes? I think that's the first question. No, because I think I haven't watched them the season before last. I know he did play out of position. I think that's been a major problem is that when he did play he was always played wide and I don't think he's got the pace to play wide in the way. He could definitely play as an inverted sort of winger, because if you've got the full backs to go past them. But the way we play, I don't think he can play that system. He could definitely play where Sigurdson plays. I do believe that's his position. So would that be sad? Well in a way it would be sad because he's definitely got talent and he's definitely the future for somebody. Now I think if we were possibly Chelsea or a Man City we could look at it and do something creative with the transfer. Maybe we're not in the position to do that. We've seen Man City go back and look like they're going to buy a player that they sold last summer because they put a buyback clause in them. Now I'd like to see something similar with Wassage, but at the moment I wouldn't be too unhappy if he wanted to leave because I don't think he's happy. Yeah I mean he played 12 games for us in the Premier League and obviously the big thing for him was he bought them after the Europa League games and then the manager he bought them was sacked then two months later and you know we resolved it though. He's done better in Europe. He's played 25 games in the league for Moscow and scored five goals which isn't bad for a man of field player. He's got three and six in Europe for them. He had two and six in Europe for Everton so that little slightly slower type of football seems to suit him. I agree with you when he played wide for us. I think it was only one one game he started and that was a Huddersfield and he played wide right but at the time when he played because he played off the left a few times he had like Cucamarty in the behind him and things and he wasn't one to go bombing on was he let's be honest. So I think his best position is centrally but you know Marko Silver had a look at him last summer and then put him out on loan. He was one of the four that was told to train away from the team for whatever reason. And he's gone to Moscow and he seems to have done alright. He got in the Russian team of the year as well. I think he was joint highest rated player in the team as well. He was actually alongside Manny Fernandez in the team. I don't know whether that tells you about the league because he was a player we should have bought ten years ago. I think for us I think he's one of these players that you want a quick resolution. You don't want to be messing about with his future. I think he's been very vocal about it. Well through his agents has been very vocal. Do you know what? I've got no problem with the kid. He wants to play football. He doesn't want to sit on the bench somewhere. He wants to play football. Obviously he doesn't see a career path at Evan. He sees it somewhere else. If he's playing for CSK in Moscow and he's an integral part of their team and that helps him get him to move. We've heard rumors or suggestions of teams like Inter Milan. They've got a big Croatian group there. They've had changes in managers so those links might have disappeared. But I'm sure there will be teams in Europe because you just mentioned it before. His style seems to suit more of a continental type of football. It is a little bit slower. It's a little bit more thought out. He probably has a lot more time on the board than he does in the Premier League. I think that was his big problem. If you look at someone like him and someone like Klassen you can almost put them in a pair. They're the kind of player that almost need a second to compose themselves or to find a feat in the Premier League. Because they're not, they weren't physically, have that physical stature or didn't want that physical stature. We've had players at Evan that liked to pina, that liked to make art at it, that came into Evan and Evan looked. A few people looked at them and thought these aren't going to last. And then they laid the Premier League. Take the first knock and once you've took the first knock then you get your time. These are the kind of players who wanted that first touch. Fy na, that's an example of that. Isn't he has the season went on? Definitely, definitely. They're the example. He and like to Klassen, they failed I think at Evan because when that first touch came in, they first hit sorry, they weren't prepared for it. They didn't know how to protect the ball. And the thing in Europe, he doesn't have to worry about that. You can get to the ball, you get to that as a free pick and then start looking about. But the problem is, the higher you go up, the higher you want to go from football, that is going to come into it. If you want to play Champions League football regularly, a good team. Or like that hitting might come, but you know someone is closing you down to stop you finding that pass. Maybe you just need a couple of years more development. Like you said, we bought them quite fresh when we had a decent game. It was brilliant against these other decent games against this. I'd like to see Evan start thinking differently. I'd like to see him look in and say, well you know what, the likes of him, the likes of Ykuroo. They can have a couple of years away and then we look at it and go, do we want to buy them back? Get first refusal, get a buy back clause in there. Would you consider just loaning them again for another 12 months and looking to develop them somewhere? Cos I think if he goes, I've seen one of the things that they have, he goes to CSKA in Moscow, the fees, like around, well reported around 12 million quid and it's like 21 and we bought them for 10 and you know that other clubs would sell them for 20. What if we sold them for 12, right, to them and we got a buy back for 12? Then at least, right, if he was good, right, if he was a good player, if he'd done well, we could get them back and sell them. That's what Barcelona done with De La Feu. It's what, I mean I've seen some really interesting ones this week. See, Jochevic who's gone to Real Madrid. His transfer was incredible. The way they'd done it. I've seen a couple of others this week. The kid who scored for Colombia, he did something similar. He went to China and then he went to Valencia. He had them on loan and then the minute he was in Valencia up to Real, one of them, and the minute someone got an interest, they got them in cheap and then sold them on for more expensive to Mexico. So there's a lot of clever ways to do these. I think that would be a good way to look at it and say, well you know what, 12 million quid, okay, we get first refusal, but if we don't want them, then we'll put a 25% sell-on fee, whatever, just be clever about it. If you're going to let players go, we've got potential, just be clever. That's all I want everything to do and I think we're starting to think like that. I think that's the way city, the way Chelsea certainly look at things when people leave Liverpool. There's always this inflated tax on those players. So we've got to start thinking a little bit differently and if you are going to let players like this go, make sure it's worth our while in the long term whether it be financially or we get a chance to get the player back. He's a player who's got loads of talent, obviously. I think he's probably, when you look at him, he needs a position. I don't know whether himself, he'd want to come back and sit on our bench. Because to take cigars and out, you'd have to replace him with someone who's ready to do that job because of the goals, cigars and scores. He's proved in that position, centrally, that he can do okay, doesn't well against Real Madrid, but yeah, maybe it is the case you're looking and thinking, well, all right, if we're not going to loan him again to someone in Europe. If everything don't feel like in 12 months time they're going to use them, then you may as well sell them, but you're right for some kind of loan. What you've got to laugh though is, and I don't think the kids probably have felt like this, is you've got to have a clear path for it. John Joe Kenny's gone to Chelsea. No-one's saying, oh well that's done in all this. They're thinking, Evan has probably said to the lad, I want you to shelter, I want you to play all season in a different league in front of big crowds and get some real development and come back the year after and start challenging Seamus Coleman. It's whether Evan said that to him when he left the club or whether they just went, we don't need you and we want you to come find your own club. It's what he was told and I think that will have gone a long way. He has been messed about. He's had us for a year and he played under three different managers. It's difficult for a young lad who just wants to play football. Whatever happens, I want Evan to just be a little bit clever about how they go forward with this. Newcastle have been linked with them as well. No-one's saying, I mean loan him to Newcastle. No-one's even loan him to Newcastle. If you were going to keep him, if you wanted to keep him, you could loan him to Newcastle to see how he developed in the Premier League. But if you're going to sell him abroad, you've been linked with some Italian clubs as well, so we'll see. If Moscow think they've got an opportunity, his agent said there's no deal being done but they're in talks with Evan and Moscow. It'll be a shame on one hand because he's quite clearly got a lot of talent in 21. You're thinking, we're trying to build a young team, aren't we? But I suppose if the manager and Marcel Brands don't think he's going to be able to play in their style, then there's no point keeping players around when you can get money and get them off the way. He's built up beef for his own development as a footballer. What's the point in stockpile and the way Chelsea do? You're right. Let's see if we can do some smarter deals with these players and go either a sell-on or a buy-back close. If you have that buy-back close, all it does is it guarantees you, doesn't it? It gives you that safety net to go on. He's actually really good. We've got face-refusal on him. Let's bring him back. We'll have to see, but it looks like things are stepping up. I think things will step up now as we move towards the end of due and contracts. Of course. People want to know where they're going to be coming back to pre-season. Can I just say one thing? Can I just apologise for not being Andy? Can I just apologise for not knowing everything? I'm sorry. You don't need to. You know about this player. I just feel bad. I just feel like I'm a little bit redundant. It's all part of the mix. Everything's part of the mix. I apologise. Part of the mix. That's what it's about. No, we'll have to wait and see. Let us know what you think in the comments section below about Nicola Blassage. Would you keep him or are you happy for him to move on? Do you agree with Perth? Would you like to see a buy-back clause or a sell-on? The sell-on should be in any way to be honest given how old he is, but would you like a buy-back clause in there as well? Let us know in the comments section below. Thanks for watching. See you later.
