 Welcome to Toffy TV, Andy and myself continuing the positional series of videos looking at improvements who we can bring in to the squad who are the options in Andy's opinion. The players out there that some have gone under the radar some I've never heard of. Well in this video however none are really my opinion bar one. The reason we went, Alex Times we go out with certain players but it's just sort of to give creed and style like you know you look at building the profile which we'll show and what type of match players that profile so you know forward I don't think we've got too forwards we're good players we've got Moise Key I think you know I know you'd obviously like a bit more of an experienced option to teach those lads but I think the reason we're going to look at forwards here is in case we don't find that right winger that we were looking for and we decided to move a Charles Snout there because obviously the score goes no matter where he played so he's looking at the centre forward. Yeah it's a big year I think for Sydney for Moise Key, Sydney for Dominic Alvin as well. Repeat yeah. He's got to score double figures again he's got to get 14-15 this season he's got to show that it wasn't just a hot little streak of form that he went on he's got to show that he can do that so for both of those players you're right I would like a little bit of experience on the bench as a centre forward someone who can push them someone who can educate them but it's not how necessary a football works anymore so we'll we'll see but what I will say is overall we need more goals whether we get a right winger who can score goals or they have the centre forward and move a Charles Snout there Evan is a team to win more games need more goals you know he takes the pressure off you defend there's an obviously built this profile it's not the most in depth profile but obviously you know they need to be quick of course you know Charles and Dominic Alvin are doing quick so if you're moving to a Charles Snout why do you want to retain that pace? 1v1 ability with Charles Snout obviously going to attack on 1v1 this also ties into creating his own chances if you look at Dominic Alvin and he's much more of a pred to do relies on service into the box he's not going to be two men and score a goal that isn't really his game with Charles we've seen him do that a number of times so if you're going to move you know move one out you need that player who can do that and create you know create something out of a Maverick as they say in a way converts chances that was supposed to get a good rate sorry it's missing off there but it's fine it's going to be a chance that we you know need someone who's you know not propagating from the goal someone who converts chances at a good rate someone who doesn't know doesn't need five chances to score as the as the old adage goes you know someone who couldn't you know a bit cold blooded in front of the goal which is what we know what we do be wrong I think with Charles and Camby at times sometimes he isn't Dominic Alvin and lacks that little bit of composure to making what we would call top level strike currently we'll see how he gets on he needs to add little bits to his game but obviously the first one is one that's been linked with everything regularly which is Oddson Edward who obviously is obviously great in Scotland and also he plays really well in Europe when they when they play in Europe 25 goals and he's assist last season looks good on paper their goal conversion 19.47 it's like basically one in every five shots he scores goals is that good though I mean so the average in the Premier League is about 15 percent Dominic Alvin is about 15 and a half percent and above the Richardson 16 so yes however don't be wrong the Scottish League is a is easier so probably around this it would be you know in terms of chances you know he's much he's too good for the Scottish League i'm going to be honest he's a good player you know dribbles sexual dribbles for 93.3 now and that ties into that 1v1 ability that ability to create your own chance to be able to beat two men and score a goal you know watch watch a lot of Oddson Edward a lot of times you can do that score goals from free kicks score goals headers score any type of goal you want run the channels create the create for team-mates and progressive runs so that's basically when like everything I like to do is we like to obviously get Richardson and Dominic Alvin running the defenders in transition when we're out on the counterattack progressive runs is carrying that ball over a longer distance pushing the defenders back and causing problems for them so the numbers are good the last two are the numbers good yeah yes they're good that's what would be a comparison for the saver charlison so Richardson's about there's about two and a half I think for the successful drivers Dominic Alvin a little bit less I think the reason I focused on this type of striker rather than a number nine like Dominic Alvin is I think Dominic Alvin's going to stay in this place was Richardson could be moved out to the right and so we're looking for someone who can partner down so Oddson Edward could do but play with either really because he's got the physical frame he's six foot too strong could play with his back to goal can run the channels create chances he's an all-around good striker so I think he's someone that can bring in and I think he can plug in now whether he's going to convert the truth he couldn't score as many goals as he does in Scotland obviously that's a risk but I've watched him plenty of times against Goodyear teams in your course and them continuous problems I think he's above that level and we've seen Stuart Armstrong Virgil van Dijk of course or the players come down from Scotland in recent years and do really well and I think you know he could be the next one yeah it's always it's always an interest them on plays to come down from Scotland because like you've just mentioned there sometimes I think we we we prove this idea of them of players making an influence down here but I think what we've seen is the one where we've seen it in the Champions League a couple of nights ago as well the ones that that are real real standouts look like they can do the job yeah you you know it came through the PSG academy PSG is known for you know developing quality players and fortune letting them go far too quick but you know like to say Oddson Edward I you know if anyone asked me point blank who would strike would you want an event it would be Oddson Edward he'd be my choice day one and now we've got Josh King of course so the reason we put Josh King is that I think it's the option of having someone like you to have a bit more experience you can also play on both wings which obviously Evan you don't need an option for that so whatever utility player now I don't really want to I'm not really into sand squad players because we need first team players but this is someone who scored 16 goals a couple of years ago in the Premier League scored 12 goals in the Premier League he would add something that we probably would you know maybe another theory of walk-off type we can play different positions but also add a goal threat he could also play a frontward dom he could play a frontward charst he could play on the right he could play on the left it just give us some options now I'm not the biggest Josh King fan he's a good player he is nearly 20 29 in January you can believe that you know but for the low fee so we can hit the ground run in the Premier League might not be a bad option I'm not saying I agree with it I don't understand what you're talking about yeah I mean listen his numbers aren't in terms of goals going on brilliant it's convenient and a high rate but the bomb has not done creating enough chances and what it did notice you know it's not on there in terms of creating chances is Callum Wilson misses a lot of good chances that he's created for every season he should have had more so much money more assistance he should have so he's suddenly getting the right areas which we don't often say about our wing unfortunately yeah I think something you said there then I think if you've got ready made players you can go into the squad or certainly into the team and you know what you're going to get at them yeah I look at too many of our players um and you don't know what you're going to get from the week to week out you know the likes of Bernard the likes of a wobi and you know listen he could just be exactly the same because his level is playing for Bournemouth might be below what we need and of course with the price it would all come down to the price as well I think the room of price is about 12 million which is not that much I guess it comes down to whether Everton think that they need to sort of get up towards those european spots quicker you'd sign players like him we've been linked with Decorae we've been linked with others of that that type I'm not one for that but I understand it from a club perspective that european money would obviously then be able to compete for better players in transfer markets and also give us more money in the bank so I don't like that idea though because I think that Ronald Cooman tried to do that lazily yeah which didn't work out for us however I've got to say that Josh King almost joined Manchester United in January he was the first choice over to Galo he couldn't quite do the deal with Bournemouth so he went and got a Galo so it's a player that people like he is a good player and I think in a better team he would do more but I think sometimes you have to buy a player with the understanding of what you're going to use them for and then then it's not every signing is not a um a big shiny mega signing unfortunately the way football's gone it's only at Everton it's gone it's the price normally looks like it's a big you know big shiny because of our past you look like you look at someone like a Wobie we've got a Wobie and for maybe closer to 15 16 million pound I don't think he'd have half the pressure on Theo Wolcott if we could have somehow got him for closer to 12 30 million pound I don't think again I don't think people shingtox and if we've got shingtox on for 12 to 15 no people wouldn't have this big issue I think you're right there because in the past you never didn't have money those fees were astronomical I think now everyone pays 20 million pound for players unfortunately whether you know average or above average or everybody obviously paid 20 25 million for Lucas Lucas Dean look how crazy he's been but I just say is that balance there that we you know you need and then of course Oliver Watkins Ollie Watkins yeah great young young play well he's not young anymore he's 24 signing from X today was really good at X to play in sort of as a hybrid false 9 10 and now he's moved his main strike of a Brentford obviously everyone knows Brentford money ball analytics and you know he scored 26 goals in the championship season seeing Neil Moore pay Ollie McBairn your last season move up Ollie McBairn he didn't do as well Moore pay got 10 goals I like Ollie I like Ollie Watkins and say in the past he's shown he can create his own chances this season not so much relied on a lot of saves crosses balls into the box so maybe with with Dominic Harvert-Lewin that's probably not the best fit for me but don't be wrong I think he's a really good strike I just question how many goals will he score a Premier League level again you know good goal conversion is he not going to buy a clause for around 12 million 15 million yeah and I've just seen there that looking to sign Ivan Tony he'll probably be a replacement for him in terms of you know bringing a striker in so I think they're ready to me he's ready to move on he's probably ready for a Premier League you know move would it be for Evan I'm not too sure whether he's the right level he could be you need sometimes they come in the ground I'll tell you what he reminds me of I think he reminds me of like a Jermaine pennant it not a Jermaine pennant at Beckford a Beckford okay he reminds me of a Beckford whereas you know you know you're sort of know how many goals you're going to get from him the difference of of course he was a free transfer yeah and we got we got a good good deal there but he does remind me of that kind of play he'll come in and if you if you don't overestimate again the expectations for him if you if you just temper them and say this is a player that could come off the bench could do well in saying games allow players to have a rest and then push him to do to do more see I I think it's always tempting to bring a player like this and you would imagine something like Villa to be looking like yeah I think yeah chef United as well and we had we had the we've had other players that've come in from lower league and sometimes they take a while they're left in the team you don't score goals but the expectation at the club is lower I think if you could get them for like 12 million quid or you know 12 to 15 I think it is I think if you use them the right way I think you'd have a good sign yeah I think I'm doing wrong he's a he's a good player I suppose this is and maybe do you know this is me thinking too short here which is often I don't do or maybe you know I'm thinking too far ahead of myself and I should think short here in this case is Ollie Watkins a Champions League player I don't think so I haven't a Champions League club in the next year or so probably not so in the next two years with Ollie Watkins presents a good sign probably retainers value go up probably if you use them right and car on shot he develops them so you did the scope there for him and you know I know there's others out there who like him a lot more than I think he's a good goal scorer it's left right foot's good header you know eight goals and should ever not be should ever not be looking at more signs like that when there's an opportunity to bring someone in on a decent feet where if you if you for 24 say he's 24 by the time he gets to 26 you could probably easily get get your money money back or money double your money or money one and a half or whatever do you know what I mean I think I think what I don't know this is my balance of squad I think we have gone away from sound championship players which we did so well on the David Moyes and I think I think there's a there's a reason seems like I haven't should do that I think it bounces the squad because then you could have those players who maybe don't work his ar but they've got a bit of you know that bit of magic in the feet but you need those players and they've come to the championship you know the expectation of arch after where to run the yards that you need to run and I think we've lost a bit of that grit that we used to have I think we need that back and maybe signing championship players or British players as it is maybe can help get us back there but for the fee it's a way to gamble because you know 12 to 15 mil whatever it is isn't a lot of money for a goal scone strike I think it's bright and paid 20 million for more pay last season so I think I think that's the problem with us isn't it we we sometimes define ourselves as one thing and we're just simply not that thing we're not there yet and it's see I what I quite quite interested about him is I could imagine a top team signing him as a project and then he could come in league cup champions league with the champions league team or Europa league or the flip side is you get a villa and they make him the number one striker because of the amount of goals he scored in the championship and it's because we're some because we're very much in the middle it's like well what where does he fit in we can't give him enough games but at the same time he's not going to be asked that number nine so this is and I have this bias as well and I think clubs have it as well you know obviously we're hood clubs but I think there's it like for me self as a scout sometimes there can be you know an unconscious bias of championship players bottom off players because they come off from the championship not all of them are there obviously there's some players who come up play at the very you know play at the top you know the top end of the league it's just that risk that you're taking I think I think he's probably maybe less of a risk of the price than Edward and Edward I think is a much higher like Albu play I've seen him do it in Europe however you never know how strikers are going to come out from Scotland and now it's going to work out for him he's probably going to be 25 to 30 million this lad is going to be nearly half the price maybe so yeah you've got a bit of a weight up like that sometimes you don't do that though I'd like to think that if we took more risks like that though we wouldn't be in the position we were in in terms of far finances I do agree because I think we took we were too safe especially on the cumin like gilvie sick why would you need you know it's gilvie sick it's in davie class and it's like okay davie class and you're never awake they probably wouldn't have let's be honest but you never see him get the chance he's basically rich 25 million off almost off the bat because we signed gilvie sick 45 when we were bidding against ourselves was gilvie sick some really going to take us into a champions league I said at the time no when he hasn't so we have limited ourselves in a way by not taking risks by basically players level we know and it's like josh king you know his level but maybe if you went with an ollie walkins who's probably you'd say 12 million 15 minutes on the price to josh king maybe it would help your medium to long team better whereas maybe in the short team you know he comes off the bench as you say but medium long team he starts these are things you've got to weigh up I do think we need to be less risk of face at times but I don't think the fans have got the patience for them yeah we've painted ourselves very much into a corner actually so yeah and it's going to be very difficult to get out of it we haven't got many options and it's great to amongst all these players even for 12 15 million quid but the simple fact is we aren't going to take the risk because we can't take the risk anymore and the the irony is if maybe if we had took the risk in the first place we wouldn't be in this situation no we could have built over a couple of years and look where we would have been now but we tried to rush it you know it's one of those things but the only way I see a sign of forward anyways if we move a charlson's on the right which is an option I know people don't like the idea but guess goes from the right whatever's best for the team not for just one player yeah it gets goals from any way and it also this season you know I think you know moist this is going to be a massive season for me this is this is the season really this is he's had his first season and you know he's come back he got the goal last game of the season he's got to be hungry he's got to be he's probably got to be a little bit more selfish this season yeah in in terms of like you know knocking on the door to the manager and saying you know this is a one opportunities if the other players aren't doing or whatever so we'll wait we'll wait and see what happens we'll wait and see what happens let us know your thoughts any me on any dissenter forwards not cheer or mow play before anyone starts stay as you are on any dissenter forwards we spoke about or any dissenter forwards we haven't spoke about give us your thoughts on anyone
