 Welcome to Toffy TV It's ridiculously hot So, if I hear one person complaining in the comments that we're wearing shorts I do not care I don't care anyway, but I don't care It is so hot It's roasting hot Do you know what else is hot enough? The transfer market It's not, I'm only kidding Two weeks ago till the transfer market window shut For us in the Premier League, certainly How are you feeling about it? I'm a little bit I'm alright, but I'm a bit I want something to happen I think another sign and it's really help A centre for what preferably would really help It's difficult isn't it, because Not much is happening anyway But you can't, you don't worry about anyone else You're looking at your own squad and obviously seeing Looking going out the door and going and following You're looking at what way you're going to bring in I think it's natural to start feeling a little bit like Only two weeks left will we do it We signed our first player last season At this point we signed with Charlotton I think we had a weak extra though didn't we In terms of To the close of the window So No, no, we didn't You sure? The season kicked off, it was the 9th of August last year So that makes it even more I'm a little bit I'm sitting here, I'm not like nervous Because I'm trying not to be like that But I am sitting here thinking Are we still After the players that we'd identified Apparently in April and March They said Delph was one they'd identified They already had a goal mess They wanted to do My dad doesn't look like it's happening But are they still after those other players Because you would have thought that Would be I suppose that's the difference in the wording Identified No Got down the road and negotiating Identified So It's touching go Cos I personally feel like the squad is weaker Because we haven't got to do with it Cos of the Ghana situation Cos of Luchman Go Mets we had last season I think you'll improve this season I think Delph will be a good signing But they're not players to get you excited And they're not necessarily players to win your games of football We need We need something in there We need I'm not saying a wow signing But we do need someone who improves us And so far There's plenty of names getting thrown around But I suppose it's worse because We do do our business so secretly now That You get all these names thrown at you but You don't know where we are And you know It's alright for us the city and go I'll just chill out but we don't know We don't know what's going to happen in the next two weeks I'm ashamed I'm at me Cos you do get nervous I mean you look and go You know if we don't replace Ghana Is Delph enough In there Potentially cos you can do things Ghana can't do Ghana can do things he doesn't Get nicked a ball as much as Ghana does But then again he might be a bit more Progressive You could potentially argue that Ghana is a hell of a player though We need a centre back You know we're two down From last season Jack just gone obviously You met looks like it's not happening So we've lost out there We've got Jerry Meenett Who I actually think will be a good player forever But you know he's got to stay fit Obviously Michael Keynes there and Mason's back Up top We've looked very thin In the three games we've played Two games we've played really so far Because we haven't had Dom And we haven't had Richard Ellison But we still need another one anyway with them And we've changed Changed and then Luchman's gone So we need a winger And now we want a left foot of the winger I would say if he got If he got A winger, a striker and a centre back Then I would be happy I still want Ghana replaced I still want a replacement for Ghana And then obviously We'd talk about a right back But that's five players I suppose the way to look at it is simply We've got aspirations of breaking into that Top six And it doesn't feel like it's a million miles away But if we don't improve the squad If we don't make it stronger The whole thing's stronger Then it's pointless Ghana's a fantastic player Who will take a lot to replace Cos he's the pivot of the team He springs the team forward When he nicks the ball He allows us to Catch teams as they're attacking us To counterattack them He's so important And it can't just be this Where we've lost them Zoomer allowed I'm not saying Zoomer was amazing all season But he wasn't because he wasn't Toward the end when Evan Gels was fit into place He was the player who Who Is that player who has got that little bit extra pace To get across, Keane's the player who goes for the ball He's the player who goes across And deals with the pace threat These things can't just be ignored He has to be dealt with These plays have to be replaced With good quality And that's the problem Is that we're looking to replace players Without improving the squad But playing devil's advocate Or playing Everton's side of it So last summer You made very good sign As I would say They all improved the squad on the side And it was done It was now They started with Charles and came in We ended up getting four in the last week Dale now Of what's needed When you look at what's gone out so far I would argue Obviously Zoomer Is a massive miss Because we had them Gane will be a massive miss But they will try to replace Zoomer I think they'll try and replace Gane That's what all the noises are But we do have Delph who can do that role I'm not saying it's like for like He's gonna be the same, I'm just saying But quite clearly there's a massive hole Where Zoomer isn't there We got to the end of the season The manager through Various Media sources said he wanted The striker and the left foot of my winger So and we know that There's been too many links for We know that they're looking at those kind of players So I've met it inside They'll be like they could sit there and be going Well we've got deals The wheels are in motion for these deals They haven't happened as quick as we want but they're there I suppose the worry is They're not gonna leave it are they I suppose the worry is is that There is only two weeks left And this is a lot could have been going on for the last few weeks To the point where we're coming to the end of And getting Well that's what happens with deals isn't it This is a fan the way you think about it Is if it doesn't get done then it's on the season And the next minute fans are going into the season with that A little bit of happiness And worried about You know what the season holds Because Because we are because Well you want to kick on don't you We finished the season so strongly We were the third best team over the last 10 games in the league We finished it very strongly We had some really positive results And you finish on that high Let these players in and let's kick on From this point we all want to feel like we've kicked on And I think we've got three players in You know this is like again just to rate To rate your point this time last year With Charles and the first player through the door We've already gone on to go home As you've got Jonas Lacell whether you think he's It's a decent set and we've got Fabian Belf So we've got three players in We mustn't ignore that But it's at the top end of the pitch where I think People look and go If Moise Keane But ultimately that happened Or if K2 might happen I think everyone would be like yeah We're ready now but at this moment You can understand where people's nerves are Or people are getting a bit worried But we know that these deals Have been going on for months and months Before they come to fruition So I'm hoping The roots are coming The sprinkles are coming through Ultimately it's a spine though isn't it Sensor back, centre midfield Forward And that's so important to get those three positions With only a couple of weeks left It's hard to be really exciting A couple of weeks where a lot of things Drop into place But then on the flip side Of that Managers tend to want their players in early In pre-season He spoke about that though He said that ideally He wouldn't like the miniature but we know We have to go up to the window I'm waiting on clubs doing things And I think that's right I think everything I know how you do it But I think if you go through it A manager to get you in a dress Or Marcel Brands just say look This is where we're up to You don't have to because it's up to them But I just think it helps But I think what I'm trying to do And it does make you feel a little bit unsettled Because you see other clubs get players But I always go back The thing he said last year Which was a rather wait a day later for the right player And buy the wrong one a day earlier And I used last summer as the barometer for them And that he got those players in He got some excellent players in Right up until deadline K2 was literally A minute or so Getting them registered That's where my confidence is with it Is it frustrating? I'd like to have had it Even if we just had a centre forward in now And we knew that we were going to get another couple And I'd be calmer And I'd like to have seen them in these games You're looking at these friendlies And you're going can't take anything from it Really other than fitness Because we haven't got anyone new We were trying to bed them But in the top end of the pitch We still had to do them on the ass As much effort as you might put in I don't think he's going to be part Of our squad this season So Nathan Broder has been a nice Live wire player to watch But I still don't think he's going to be Getting in R11 is he really And he struggled to get in the 18 So that's a frustrating thing Because not having obviously Dom And not having a charles as well We'll have to see but hopefully Like you say it'll be I mean how are you feeling before we finish What are you feeling? Are you nervous? I'm not nervous because I'm trying not To be nervous anymore I'm trying to let it play out Yeah because I'm trying to let it play out But what will be will be But what I will say is If that's the case then you've got to be realist About it and say and honestly say Right if we don't get players in Then we're not going to be Challenging for the top six And in fact we're going to We could finish anywhere between 7th and 11th And the simple facts are The reason why Is not that we're not A better team than anyone else The simple fact is we won't have a squad We won't have a squad to dig in Like we did dig in last season We won't have that and ultimately That will take a cost Of course it will You can't get away from that And you've got to hold your hands up and say You can fight as hard as you want And be as good as you are on your day But fatigue and suspensions And Players out of form Will over 38 games And cup games will always catch up Would you? Always And then you're having to And then when you come into the league cup You haven't got you won a juggle But you haven't got the quality to put them in the team So then you miss out on the cups as well So you've got to be realistic And say it will cost us But then the problem with that is Then come all the conspiracy theories With that which makes life even more unbearable Where it's like You've got no money And all the money's getting taken up by the stadium Or blah blah blah blah So you can't Everything then becomes about Just being everyone's just Misal about it instead of just saying And then suddenly everyone's a fraud And you know what I mean It takes away from the fact that you can't just go Just emotions It is and of course that's football And everyone's got the right to those emotions It just makes life a little bit Hard out Where there's three signings Like you've just said in the next two weeks Like it did last season Where we go to last season That was the same, you go Matt this is fair season Going into that and everyone's like And then suddenly you get McCarthy And you get Barry and everyone's like I remember that night An hour before the window shot And everyone's like And then get those And everyone's on the high And that can be the difference between Those emotions can be the difference Going to the game as well Going the games thing and we've got a chance In this game because we've got a good side It makes a difference for the crowd as well You go into games and you look at it and go We didn't get so and so and we didn't get a replacement It can put it down on the whole thing And I just want to go into the season Looking at our side Looking at our squad going We've got a decent chance of having to go But I can't honestly sit here saying that at the moment I'm just being a realist In two weeks time Who knows who knows We might have bought two or three and then everyone's going Well actually we do look alright And we can kick on We'll wait and see They'll know, they'll know They'll have all their plans And the manager seems quite calm about it So you've got to just back it It's never going to happen quick enough for us as fans Ideally they've all been Invited you either first Or you've got to put your feet up Although some people still have wanted us to do something on their blind day Because you get caught up with everything else But fingers crossed Let us know your thoughts anyway On the transfer situation You're getting worried Or you're quite calm by it You think the people in charge are going to get these deals done Or are the deals out of our hands Are we trying to bring targets in And we're not offering enough Or the players have got completely ridiculous valuations Like we've seen with some players already You know if everyone want to bring three in You're talking 100 million barn there Say to me For three players So I don't know Let us know your thoughts in the comments anyway on this one If you haven't already subscribed please do Click the bell for a later so you know When the videos come out And if you want more great shows Lots and lots of live shows Join us over on page And the link is in the description Thank you
