 Welcome to ToffeeTV, the boys are back in training first of July and we've seen some of the players arrive at Finch Farm, USM Finch Farm, to start their testing. Let's see who's put on a little bit of weight over the, yeah, over the pre-season but over the off-season so to put it, exciting day, always exciting day even though nothing really happens apart from just seeing a few footballers wearing new training gear, we just get excited. Yeah, it feels like a long time since they played doesn't it and I think when you finish the season as well as we did, that excitement bubbles on for like the start of the new campaign you know what I mean, it feels a little bit different and obviously when you've got the main man, sweet now excited days to be back and everything else, it is, I mean the kit, the training gear is lovely, you have to say that, it's good, it's good, people are fuming that, the kit's not out and that's not been seen before but now you're right, I mean nothing really happens ahead of it but it does, you do always see that and doing them little things with the lane and all the testing and the measurements and you're like they're ready to deliver this season. I don't know if I've ever thought that on the first day of pre-season. No, I mean I'm trying to, I'm trying to make it more exciting than it is. I'm still just trying to get over Tom Davis' kicks. Oh they're amazed, he's doing that fully to troll people mate, fully waiting for all the trolls to slag him and all that, just thinking what can I wait, that A is going to get me hammered when I get in the dressing room and B is going to get me hammered on social media and he's come up with the pair, to be fair he's come up with the perfect pair of pants. He just laughs at it, why wouldn't he, doesn't care about anything as boss, absolutely boss. It's nice to see the likes of Mason Holgate back, done a little personal message about how he's ready to come and wait for pre-season, missed the place. Big chance for him this season with no John Joe Kenny around so he could be potentially that back up, right back, stroke back up, centre back, with obviously Jags going and there's no K too. He's got a chance in the early weeks of pre-season, I think that's a big thing for a lot of plays isn't it, is that in the early weeks when there's obviously the lack of the internationals about, you know we've seen Deans obviously still away, Michael Keane's still away, obviously he's still got the Charleston at the Copa America. Me and his participation ended at the weekend, Ghana obviously is still with the Afghan as well, so there's still players away, other players again, Dominic Carvalho and he's on holiday after the 121s, that'll open the door for the likes of Ellis Sims even though I don't like talking about him, but the likes of him in pre-season, early on in pre-season, certainly on, I mean they play Sunday so there is that opportunity for players who wouldn't normally probably get a chance to just give the manager something to think about, that's all isn't it really and that's sometimes all people need. That's all he can do isn't it, just get in his face, do the normal, do more press-ups when he's looking and run a bit faster and all that, you know that kind of thing, but it is a case of trying to, for the likes of Holgate, I mean he's in a better position than he was 12 months ago because Jacks were still there as well you know and Zuma, so when he went out on loan, he was number five, Church centre back wasn't he, now even if Zuma comes, now at the moment he's third Church, so if Zuma comes back then he'll be fourth Church, so to speak, or he'll be in a battle with the other three lads, but he can also go and put pressure on James Coleman, unless of course Evan will bring a break back in in the next month or so, but at this moment in time you write it up to him, he'll, he's going to play Sunday, some part in that game of course, whether it's a centre back or a right back, we don't know yet, but you know he's going to be playing in that game regardless, as other ones and you write, you know there's likes a Fraser Hornby who you know he's already played for Everton's first team in York, you know and now he had a bit of an injury last season and came back, so he's got an opportunity as well, he'll be other lads, there's likes a Joe Williams who'll be back from Bolton, you know Benny Benningamy, people like that, I imagine all these are going to be on the plane, Morgan Feeney, I think all these will play some part at the weekend, so it's a good opportunity for him to say to the manager you know where he is, let us have a look, you know and obviously Ellis Sims, I mean a pair of us have been at pains to say it's a bit early, but it's a chance for him to, if he is on that plane to go there, play his part and see where he is, you know and now it's not, they'll be much fitted and everything of course, but you know our ability on the ball should, should see us able to put in a decent performance and it'll be up to him to use that and other players to use that opportunity well. There's a few players we didn't see isn't there today, Bernard, Ulshana Bernard, maybe his flight was delayed, who knows, but the thing is the staggered aren't they, a lot of it's staggered, the likes of Kevin Morales, they'll be back tomorrow and so maybe Bernard will be back, you know tomorrow maybe I don't know, might have been given the next day or whatever, but there's a few players you haven't seen, but maybe they, I mean Martin have been out this day, I doubt it would have been a pity, so I think that probably is staggered, if it's all a test then the gym's not that big, you can't get through everybody, you've got to do it bit by bit. First sighting of Lusul, Lusul, I've watched videos and people calling Lusul, so, okay fair enough and I'll wait for the clarification, I'm just going with, I'm going from the Huddersfield video if someone said to him welcome and they said Lusul, so I'm going to stick with that for now, okay, if they have any commentator in for two years I'll call them there, okay, I'm going for the Huddersfield pronunciation to his face, JL I'll call him, they would have said to him how'd you pronounce it and he would have said Lusul, where the people keep calling Lusul, like Darren Griffiths says Deanie, even though Lusul literally said his name was Dean. Lusul, why would it be Lusul, it was Lossal at one stage, anyway him, Jonas, it was good to see him, as far as, and he'll play Sunday? He'll play Sunday, yeah, well I'm on Stechlenburg I'll play, probably half a game each, the stakes there doing his, seeing him doing his stuff, don't know, it's good for him and obviously day one, you know, coming in through a big club, it's been a Huddersfield and he's come here and it's a chance for him to get meet the lads and get involved, seeing him chatting in the gym with Bains and all that. He's got his new fresh trim, he has got his straight from Cuthrow Pete, he has, he's gone short, but listen, it's early days, I think the big thing though this pre-season, the difference from last pre-season will be for the manager, obviously power morty will be there as well, like we've seen him there last week, but the big thing will be our Marko Silver approach as this pre-season, I imagine it's much more planned, I mean the games themselves immediately are much better when you look at the opposition better than the playing, but in terms of last season if you think about it, he came in and it was, we've got to assess immediately to try and put plans over where this season the players know exactly what's expected of them, so I imagine it'll be a much higher quality pre-season I think for him. Did you expect more new players to be in by this point? I would have said hoped rather than expected, I think I've seen something before when we signed our first player last year, I think it was the Charleston, the 24th of July something last year and the main bulk of them came in in August with the manager saying he wanted, he would have liked most of them in by the time pre-season starts, you would have hoped, but we've got two in, I mean you know we've got, now I know what you're saying but I'm saying we've got obviously less lossal, loosal whatever you want to call them saying, obviously we've made Andre Gomez move permanent so that's a great move, you know we wanted that, ideally I still think there's another three or four to come. I think in terms of the pre-season really start and that'll start in Switzerland only, that's when the pre-season really gets started, that's when it starts, I mean that's why they take you know teams go away, to get stuck in, to get away from the normal surroundings and you know two sessions, three sessions a day really get stuck into it, control everything, control out, you know you don't come in and go home at one o'clock, you control everything for a week and really get stuck into them so I would have liked maybe, I don't know, I don't know, I mean it's not like, we're not sitting here saying but we've missed out on this player and missed out on that player, we haven't missed out on anyone, we're obviously trying to secure players but whether the plan is to get them in this early anyway, I don't know and the kinds of players we might be going after might be away anyway because they've played international football and things like that so it's difficult to say but the training camp starts next week, they go straight to Switzerland don't they, from Africa I think, the home, no I don't think so, I think they're in Africa for three days, the things three days, so the flyouts Saturday, play Sunday flyout, get home Monday and I think they're here for a couple of days then they fly off to Switzerland and then the camp starts, they play see on on the 14th isn't it, so the Sunday year a week Sunday and then the Monarch on the Friday so all the way, so I suppose theoretically they've got another eight or nine days maybe, I'm sure he'd like to add one or two by the time they go to Switzerland whether we do or not is a different thing, obviously players go and out is important, we've seen Blaster to go out, you know obviously Jack Yelkin and Williams have left, a lot of the young players, Jack Casey and Joe Hilton and people like that have secured moves elsewhere, so we've got people out the door, there'll be more, you know the negotiate a few exits of players as we speak, so we get a few more out the door then that'll free up but it could be like you say, you know the players still away at the minute and ever and you know as the tweet said the other week the only will announce stuff when it's done and I think Marcel Branders doing a great job of keeping everything close to his chest, trying to limit what gets out, but ideally when we go to Switzerland it'd be nice to have at least attacking areas aren't we, you know that's what we're looking at, I mean a winger, you know the old left footed right winger and a centre forward, if we could add those two and then zoom into this group then you start getting, you start looking and thinking we've got a good chance of being very strong this season because we were strong last season, you know and if we keep most of the team together, you know we're not going to see Britialis until although he's been played a month he's back with the Brazil squad, it's a carry on in that, they played again this week this semi, you wouldn't imagine you're going to see him til the end of July, Ghana, I think the final is like the end of July or something isn't it or, so you know you might not see Ghana til August so I know we had a couple of weeks off after the season and I had all of the I don't think it's, I don't know, I don't think, I don't worry about him to be honest, yeah, yeah, yeah I would worry about him for other things but, fitness wise you mean you're not concerned about, are you worried about the fact that Britialis isn't coming back late or not? No, I'd rather he had a rest, I'd rather he, I think he's the kind of player that I'd rather he had two weeks didn't he, he had a fortnight or two and a half weeks holiday and then went to Brazil, went to the camp then I suppose if he has another week or so after it, I mean is it, do you think it's imperative or do you think so much has changed now with how fit players are that the break almost in the summer? No I think they need a break, I think they need a break physically and mentally and we've seen that with Charleston played non-stop but then he played non-stop for like a year and it was playing all the time, where there's you know a break here and a break there I think that's enough two weeks here, two weeks there, they'll get enough, they'll get assessed enough to know when they don't have to train and when to give them a little break and all the rest of it so that's why I think what we have also don't forget this is going to be the first season we have the winter break so you can put, you can add that to it can't you, you can add we go into January we have a couple weeks break so so that's important for the players as well just to refresh themselves just to just to whatever go away for a week go away for a few days just and we've seen that last season actually I was bored and that was you know I know it was in force but we've seen how important that was players having a few weeks off I know that I know they had a few days off on any train when they came back mentally a different scene so that's important as well so it'll be interesting to see how much that fact is in but especially you know especially I mean there's a euros isn't at the end of the season obviously some players will get a break but but that I suppose the the advantage the upsides of them playing in these tournaments is the fitness isn't going to drop off is it so they can have a break no no that's what I'm saying about Garner that's why I'm saying about Garner is something like Garner I think is a Natalie Fippett player anyway and I can't imagine there'd be much of a drop off it would just be that fatigue element which might catch up during the season but I can't hear being a problem if he came back I think for some players though I mean I think we've seen this a little bit with Pickford last season it's not necessary it's it's just that idea of playing football and then going straight back into football and just not being able to switch off so that you're not so that when you play you're not always switched on fully does that make sense well I think that was evident at Wolves he'd only been back a week hadn't he he'd come back and I think we thought he was going to play against he wanted to play didn't he against Valencia was it was wasn't it's Valencia he wanted to play remember and he didn't play him because he wanted to get back in it but then at Wolves he'd only had four or five days training and he was wasn't quite on it was he whereas obviously this I think they're back next week I think after Africa so they like to key and pick they'll all be back for the Switzerland for the Switzerland multi-self that'll be the big thing that's that's long as they're there for that that'll be the main thing I mean do you think looking at the preseason this year and the way it's structured with the games and stuff and the fact that the manager's in place now and everything else you think that'll be it's almost an easier preseason for him to manage and be more focused on on what expected of the team on day one definitely I mean I think he there's a lot of players the lot of the players that we don't want are the same players we don't want from last season but it's last preseason so that's not going to be a challenge yes he's going to be working with the plays he wants to work with and any new players that come in and they know what he wants and the players who the players who are set to leave or the players who are set to leave they already know they'll have known they'll have been told to find new 12 months ago exactly they'll have been told to find new clubs don't things are going to be any any difference for any of them so I don't I think they'll be used some of them you know they're like some we'll see some of them in preseason just for the fact that you're going to have to numbers isn't it's players you know you haven't got you won't have um you haven't got a lot of plays to pick from come you know Sunday and they've got to be sharp they've got to get fit haven't they for moves if they're gonna get moves so the professional footballers we paid them yeah so so you know be honest be sharp and that's it sounds super but ever might if anyone any of these players they were there was potential to leave them leave the play the club might say to you any potential buyers but you'll have to just wait until next week we've got a game we need numbers and you can have them next week that it sounds super but ever they've got it I've got to have enough players for Sunday you know so who's this they can take a lot of the kids to suppose but I think everyone wants to get back in again I don't think I think anyone who's going to buy our players won't be the ones we want to get rid of straight away if you know what I mean they'll build into that they'll be players looking they like to change McCarthy who I expect they'll probably move will play on Sunday and things like that to get the football going and then once everyone's back now aren't the most clubs are back training today or tomorrow so and we're into July now so I think things will speed up in terms of play people want them players but you're right it'll probably be maybe next week Evan will try to to speed up the process but I think the players who were going will be ones that aren't involved maybe yeah there you go let us know let us know your thoughts in the comments I know Baz did a video on this to the day but are there any of those can any of those players stake a claim in the next week or two to just get and any of those young players can get into the head of the manager this week let us know let us know your thoughts on the training kit
