 Welcome to Toffy TV, this is the breaking news reaction video that Everton have cleansed the signing of Brazilian midfield player Bernard on a free transfer, formally of Chateau Dynes, now two Brazilians in the Everton team, does it get any better? I am joined by Sarah Alton. Sarah, good signing, happy. Delighted mate, absolutely over the moon with this one. I think when you look at the other teams that were in for him as well, it says an awful lot about how well brands and silver are coming across to be able to get these players to decide that it's ever and they want to come to instead of, you know, maybe going to a side in the Champions League or what someone would class as one of the top six or whatever established. So I think it says a lot about how they're selling this project and, you know, the vision for Everton going forward to get them to agree to come to us. And yeah, like you said, on a free as well and he's, yeah, two Brazilians on the wings. It's happy days, isn't it? We're all starting to feel pretty good about this. Marco Silva coming in and, you know, the Brazilian toffees. It's nice. It's all good, isn't it? It's all good. I mean, obviously, let's have it right. We've given them a big wedge together. Oh, of course we have. But, you know, you've got to, I suppose you've got to, you know, free transfer. You can break it down however you want. He's a player who would have cost. I think Everton will link with him when Ronald Coomer first came and I think it was 40 million that he was quoted for him at that time or whatever. So, to obviously get him in on a free. It's fantastic regardless of, you know, how expensive weekly he is. Well, he's not going to be on 40 million, is he, in his wages ultimately? Well, who knows? You would like to know anyway. Who knows? If it's 200 grand a week, that's roughly what, 10 million a year, over four years, about 40 million. Oh, right then. So, see. That'll teach me, won't it? It will teach you. Do you, where do you see him playing? You see, I think I can see him playing where Guilffy Shigarton is playing at the moment. And seeing Guilffy drop back in alongside Ghana. That's how I think it may work out. And I think that would give us a bit more mobility in midfield. I think with Snydlan in there, it's too slow. And I think Ghana gets lost next to him. Whereas I think if Ghana's doing the defensive midfield role, Bernard can drop. Bernard, Bernard, Benny. Benny and Dean. He can obviously just play off the frontman, but he can also play wide. So, I mean, what do you think about that? I'm with you there, Baz. I think that would be the perfect scenario for us going forward. We spoke earlier in the week, didn't we, about Ghana and how good of a player he is. You know, especially that first half against Valencia, the ground he was covering. He was all over everything. He's fantastic, but it's having that person then to pass the ball on to. He was looking to get forward and make things happen. That creative flair. Snydlan just doesn't have that. He's far too hesitant. He's far too slow. So, if we could see Guilfee drop back into that kind of position, sit a bit deeper, and then give Bernard the, uh, Bernie the ability to go forward then and, you know, get Snydlan Sigarton to pass the ball on and stuff. I think that would be the ideal scenario, because I don't see how Ghana and Snydlan is going to be productive forever and going forward in that central midfield. So, hopefully we'll see Guilfee slide into that position and see Snydlan slide away. Slide into the DM. There you go. I mean, it will be interesting to see how they use, because it's obviously very attack on formation if you're playing with Sigarton and Bernard in midfield. Don't think, I think it'll probably be a couple of weeks before we see him given. He's not really, well he hasn't had the pre-season. So, I'm not sure, obviously, of his fitness levels at the minute, so we might have to wait to see him. But it's a positive sign. He's an exciting player and, you know, he's just looking at his goal record there. He got 16-19 in the Ukrainian league last season with three assists. He got three in eight Champions League games, two in the Europa League, one in the Ukrainian cup. So he knows where the net is as well. And I think that's important for us. We need a few more goals from the field, because basically no one scored last year apart from Rooney. That's the thing, and you've got to look at the likes of having Tosen there as well. If we've got these players that can provide him with the service and chip him with the goals as well, because we can't be relying solely on Tosen to bag the goals. But when you look now at that kind of front four that we're going to have, that we can shop and change with, there's bound to be goals coming in. I think the last couple of games of pre-season, the signs are there that we're looking more deadly going forward. But when it comes to the final finishing, that's where we've got to sharpen up. But yeah, he should be contributing with the goals as well. And it's a huge sign for us. You think this time a week ago we were all a bit deflated, maybe a bit frustrated with things. And the Bernard one coming in is so out of the blue as well. None of us knew anything about it, which I like as well by the way, because it just shows that there's all this kind of work going on in the scenes and we're getting restless and we're winging, then it's like bang, Bernard on a free, beating off all these other teams to come here instead. So I think, yeah, it's a really exciting one. I think fans are now going, okay, you've got to give brands and silver as well, our faith and confidence, because they've proved that they are getting these deals done and they are able to get these players to come in. But it's just now about sorting maybe a couple more. Don't be greedy. Now, I think the thing is, the thing that gives you the confidence is the likes of Marcel Brands and how these deals are coming about, rather than being played out in the media for so long, it seems to be kind of quite far down the line when some deals, obviously others, I won't mention his name, but that one's being played out for quite some time, which will hopefully come to its conclusion very soon. But that's the way it is and it's good that that kind of work is taking place behind the scenes on everton-like, you know, compared to what we've seen before. So, you know, like you say, for me, this is a really exciting sign and it's probably one of the most exciting ones we've had for a while in terms of quality. And I think because it's come out of nowhere as well, I think that makes it so much better. So let's get them in that blue shade as quickly as possible. There you go.
