 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. The takeover of Everton Football Club is back in the news day. When I say the takeover, a takeover is back in the news today. The Kaminsky family who were part of the consortium trying to take over the club in the summer are apparently back. It's been reported in the financial times today coming from New York that an offer is on the table of £400 million, not sure what that's in dollars at this present moment but apparently that is back and talks are ongoing. Bit closer to home though, the reports are that the offer actually never came off the table although the exclusivity period had run out. And really there's nothing really new about these talks, it's the same offer, nothing really has changed and nothing is really imminent on a takeover. Farad Meshiri came out around June and said that he wasn't selling the club, he was committed to building the stadium and everything was as it was at the football club. And since then we've seen obviously the squad get invested in, new people coming into the club in roles in the academy and along in the back room to supporting jobs. And so things have seemed to have picked up since the last talk of a takeover so there might be some big flashy headlines out there but it seems like nothing really has moved on from the summer so we're not really expecting anything to change in the time being. But you never know because of that fluctuating pound at the moment and the value dropping with the dollar, the club is going to become a better prospect of being sold to a doctor so we'll have to wait and see if anything does develop on that side of things. Also today obviously Frank Lampard held his press conference ahead of the game on Saturday against Southampton. In the injury news he did confirm Jordan Pickford is back and I would imagine he will star for this game so obviously he only missed the one game against Westam which he won so Jordan Pickford is back. He also spoke about Dominic Alvarlun and his injury situation and it's not clear whether it will be available for this game but let's hear from Frank Lampard on Dominic Alvarlun. Dominic Alvarlun any chance for him this weekend are we still looking at a bit more time? Yeah we're considering it I think Dominic we're working to make sure he comes back in the best fitness and strength for us so we'll see on that one. So there you go very diplomatic from Frank Lampard we'll have to wait and see whether he is available, Dominic Alvarlun is available on Saturday but I don't know just from the body language and just from the tone of his voice I would imagine he won't be available but we'll have to wait and see. Obviously Frank Lampard also spoke about Nathan Paterson's injury it's going to be out for four to five weeks they were expecting it to be longer they expected the injury to be worse he's been speaking about him and also Seamus Coleman and as he prepares to take over in the right back spot this is what Frank Lampard had to say. Now missing Nathan Paterson as well you've got some of the quality of Seamus Coleman to come in but I'd imagine given the way that Nathan has taken his chance this season it's a blow for you it's a blow for him most important. Yeah it's a blow for us all because he's been fantastic there's no doubt his level of performance has been great consistency drive bringing energy into the team and one thing I will say is that Seamus has been the biggest supporter of that he's such an amazing teammate in terms of advising Paterson. Paterson helping him and supporting him when he's been playing well so no worries about Seamus coming into the team I'm always hopeful that we get minutes out of Seamus because he has a big influence on the pitch. Not in this situation we want Paterson back as soon as possible I think the sort of four or five week estimate is probably a bit positive from what our first thoughts were so on that side of it let's hope we can get him back quickly. Now so there you go obviously Frank Lampard really disappointed to be without Nathan Paterson who's had a fantastic start of the season but obviously Seamus Coleman is a really good backup he was our first choice right back last season and as you can hear Frank Lampard there's every confidence that he can go on and depotise for Nathan Paterson in the next few weeks and it might not be the same you know the energy might not be the same but we've got a very experienced player there obviously our captain who can come in and do a job and that's the point in having a squad isn't it and obviously on the squad as well Frank Lampard was asked about Tom Davis at the core and James Garner being backups for the midfield and you had some really positive things to say certainly on Tom Davis but on James Garner we haven't seen much of him yet since him signing from Manchester United did play for England on 21 this week and had a good game but here's what Frank Lampard had to say on James Garner. And James Garner who we've not seen and ever to share but I've got a great review from Lee Carsley for the role that he played for England under 21s in midweek and how impressed have you been with him in training and how close has he to being involved? I'm really impressed and you're right about Tom Davis I think he was unfortunate and they're tough decisions and I spoke with Tom I'll get on really well with Tom and he was understanding of it you know he wants to play but he's my mind when I have six midfield players if it's for three positions I have to have those conversations and I have to have everyone ready to go at all times. So Tom was unfortunate, Dukes is now back fit and James when he came, James Garner when he came wasn't fit he declared that to me as in the process of leaving at Manchester United had left him training not at the level so West Army was kind of fit for it's great that he played a game and played so well for the 21s and now he's ready to go so he's impressed me in training very much as a lad and as a player that's what we brought in there is the real potential for the now and for the future. So obviously it's going to be really interesting to see when you know when we get to see James Garner obviously he's got quality set piece delivery so it's going to be interesting to see whether the manager starts trusting him to bring him on in games and using that squad that he's helped building the last six months or certainly since the summer so be interesting to see how much we see of James Garner. Another player who was involved in that England 21 game was Anthony Gordon who's had a few things to say in the last couple of days really good quotes about him being linked with Chelsea actually said that when he was asked about the links he said that no one was worth that kind of money and he was just trying to get his head down. He said he was going to try and try and break into that England squad for the World Cup but he knows it to do that he'd have to start scoring goals and obviously being a bit more of a influence on this Everton team so Frank Lampard was asked his opinion on Anthony Gordon breaking into the England team. Anthony Gordon he says I'm 100% focused on making the World Cup squad if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen it's out of my control but I'll definitely give it my best try I'll need to score a lot of goals in the next couple of games I'm ready for that challenge I'm hopeful again I suppose that's the attitude you want and how do you rate his chances moving forward. I can't talk for him you know and I know there's a lot of competition in that area of the pitch with England you watch and there's a lot of quality players in there and Anthony just has to keep working and working in all parts of his game not just the goals, goals are a huge part of it of course if you can get to that level because top wingers get big numbers and Anthony will want to do that but it's a lot for his game he's a developing player but it's good that he's in the conversation he just has to. Yeah so it's going to be an interest listen if Anthony Gordon gets anywhere near that England squad then he will have done really really well for us in the next few weeks so let's hope that happens his forms being a little bit in and out this season scored a couple of goals obviously but certainly the home games he hasn't looked good to be honest but the away games is where he's shining so hopefully we see more of that on Saturday. Ellis Sims obviously currently on loan at Sunlands had a few injury problems of late Tony Mowbrie was hoping to get him back for the games now after the international break but he has unfortunately sustained a ligament damage to his big toe which means he's being assessed by Everton he's come back to have that assessed so Tony Mowbrie was hoping to get him back on the side but it is a bit of a blow for him. It's a bit of a blow for the player obviously on loan started the season really really well but in the last few weeks has had this injury problem so it's up to Everton now to have a look at it and see what they want to do with him in the next few weeks and they'll probably treat them and then send them back to Sunlands so we'll have to wait and see how long that injury takes to heal so there you go plenty of stuff happening today. Yeah we'll have to wait and see if anything comes out of it but there you go make sure to give this video a like subscribe if you haven't already and if you want more videos exclusive daily live videos join us over on ToffeeTV Premiere the link is in the description and the QR code will be on the screen in a minute.
