 Welcome to Sofie TV. Everton have brought Andre Gomez into the club from Barcelona. Oh look at the hair, Baz. He's got a hair. A fine set of hair. It's immaculate. It's not quite Stechlenberg level, but it's good. Well, as long as it's... You might be better than Goll. Andre Gomez, what do we know about Andre Gomez? He was part of the Portugal 2016 European Championship. 25-year-old Sentiment Fielder played 29 times for Portugal. Sentiment Fielder, 6-for-2. So I suppose he fits that kind of profile. He's played for Ben Fica, played 17 times, got eight goals. Played for Valencia, played 66 times on loan and permanent. Scored seven goals and played for Barcelona over two years. 46 times, scoring three goals, which isn't actually a bad sort of... 46 got games, I suppose, over two seasons when you're not one of the household names. Isn't bad. I think he's a decent player. I don't think he had a great time at Barça, hence why they're allowing him to go out. He was good at Valencia, a good player, decent on the ball. Not sure speed wise, but he's got to be quick in the morgue and surely. But again, it's strength in that central area of my field, isn't it? You know, when you look and you think, you know, snarling for me just isn't mobile enough. Simply, it's as simple as that. Tom Davis isn't ready yet. You know, I think we all can see that. And you know, if we're going to let Bezit go up the door, then we needed someone else in there. I think Marco Silva wanted someone in there. He wanted that strength in that, again, that pack of four, almost in the team. But he wanted someone to be able to use the ball better. I mean, we were at the Valencia game at the weekend and the difference in the two midfields in terms of being able to use the ball and keep the ball was glaring, particularly the snarling, Kandog we're also. He's someone who can come in and do that and it gives you options, doesn't it? That's what you can ask for, isn't it? We did a video earlier on this week on the squad. And I suppose these are the kind of players that are going to make the squad a little bit stronger, that gap between experience and younger players. For me, it needed filling out. Listen. No one knows what this kid can come in and do, but no one knew what was going to happen when Al Teteke and Pina come in. You take a chance on these players, you take a bit of a gamble. Someone at Barcelona has seen something in them to bring them in to be part of their squad. 35 million for them with 20 million add-ons. You don't pay 55 million, let's say 35 million for some of them at all. A couple of years ago with Barcelona, they were obviously preparing for the, you know, the era without, obviously Javi had gone and now in the estates. They were preparing for that. They were looking at the midfield and thinking, well, who can replace them? And you know, they've got people like Buschgut in there as well. They've got top players, they're looking for that next sort of one on the conveyor belt. They don't always work with Barcelona, but that's what top clubs do. You know, they'll bring players and see if they stick or they don't move them on. They know they'll get the money for them because they've got the Barcelona tax on or whatever, but they must have been a good player in the first place. A good player in the first place to have been spotted and to have, for someone to have thought that they were good enough to go into the Barcelona team. Definitely, you know, you don't get that move unless you are a quality player or they think you can do a job for them. Do you know what I mean? You're at a good age, isn't it? 25 now. So again, we don't know coming from La Liga to the Premier League. We don't know. It's a slower league, obviously, over there. You look at Sandro, you've come in from La Liga to Dunwell and it just wasn't, you know, it hasn't worked out for them. But this fella's physically bigger, you know, six foot two. So you'd hope that the physicality side of it, he'd be able to cope with his neat tidy on the ball. But again, you know, you have to look and say, with a player like this, is he better than what we've got? Got my hammer bezage, it's been eight, four years. You know, you've had a club four years and you're still not a regular. It's fine if you've had a club that's winning stuff. Champions League and, you know, you're battling to get in and out of it. But everything hasn't been great over the four year period. Now injuries have curtailed that. Of course, they had the bad cruciate injury. It was out for a while, though. You'd have to say that this fella's probably a step up on him. And that's all you can do. Upgrade your squad. You know, sometimes if you look at it, it'll be three or four. It's hard to belasi. You know, belasi to banard would be a big upgrade. Whereas this fella might be one step up from what we've got, or maybe two, we don't know. But technically, and certainly when you look at him, it's an attractive proposition if he can get his fitness up and everything else. It's a decent move. No, again, I'm excited. It's come out of the blue again. And it's another body in there. Listen, I'm not going overboard about it because it's another player in there. You know, I think we've been... We've needed more bodies in there. I think we've desperately shot in there. Creativity-wise and getting us up the pitch. But also, just sitting in front of that back four and someone who knows the pressing style as well, but being a Barcelona, you'll know all about the pressing style and know what that tells. So I think that's the thing. If you buy from a club like Barcelona, you instantly get people who already know that 4-3-3 style of playing as well, which also fits into what Michael Silver wants as well. So I think that's really important as well. So, you know, they might be the... Listen, we're not going to be getting the absolute top-end players at the moment, but if you bring them players, you know, who have been at good clubs, know the system, know what it takes, or hungry, want to sort of get themselves back on that level playing week in, week out, then, you know, you might as well be buying them off Barcelona, don't you? Well, of course, it's again, it's just about improvements. If you keep improving, if you get your squad better and you buy players that actually fit the style you want to play and the shape you want to play, the chances are you're going to improve and that's all we can do. You know, we've seen, last summer, we just bought anyone, scattered on approach almost. These are good players, but not necessarily for what we wanted to do. And it seems just how Michael Silver, well, he does know exactly what he wants to do and he's trying to buy the players that'll fit into exactly what he wants to do. And that's fine by me. Yeah, fine by me as well. Yeah, really important point there about buying players that fit into a style system. Anything.
