Because he loves my play ratings so much that he's asked if he could come and do his play ratings for the season. So, let's get into it. Marco Silva, what are your thoughts on Marco Silva for the season? I've changed my mind over the season. I wasn't very impressed at the start. But as I've understood more of the challenges that he's faced and his need to actually assess what he has, I think he's settled on a very impressive core to the team. We seem to be defending much better than what we had done and he seems to have brought out the best in some of the people that we thought we'd maybe need to move out. So I'm not as generous as what you are. OK. I give him six and a half. Six and a half. Room for improvement? Oh yeah. And I think it's there. I think there will be improvement. I think when you invite me back next year, I think it will be a... Oh, hang on. We're coming to see you. Well, that's what you said before. And then you went and had the bloody heart attack and I'm not going to infringe on you. Oh, it'll be funny. You just said before, two days is the maximum. I'm not flying to the other side of America for two days. I'm going to say, we're going to Vegas. You can go and see Tommy Graveson and go and see Paul Rideout with the neighbours. Yeah, two days with my wife and myself. And that number plate. Fair play, fair play. So Jordan Pickford. Oh, if ever the lad needs maturing, you know. Do we used to have a goalkeeper called Albert Dunlop? He was a short fella about... That's not a good start. About 548 he was. Agile as anything. But he was like overly agile. He could make, like, you know, tiny shoelaces into some theatrical production. Pickford has a bit about that on me. I mean, it's a good goalkeeper. There's no doubts of it. But he doesn't have like to dive unnecessarily. And some of his judgement is flawed. And I think he needs to... I don't know what sports psychiatrists do, but we need to be working on him, both with his goalkeeping coach and also with himself. Because I know he's not playing in front of good defence for part of the season, but it's been maybe the reason for that good defence because you'd be frightened of having him behind you, some of the stuff that he pulls off. I don't think he's progressed in the last year. And I think that's very sad because I thought he would, by now, be the England number one undisputed number one goalkeeper. I think he's as bad as good as a keeper we're going to get. So I think we need to make the most of it. It's very harsh, that. I give him six and a half, yeah. I give him six and a half. OK. I agree with you with the maturity. I think he needs to mature. Yeah. I think... And I also... I do agree that he hasn't really improved this season. I think he's just stayed at the same level. And I think... I'm hoping for more next season, but... I don't know, he's been up and down this season. When he's been good, he's been very, very good. But then, you'll look at that. Well, no, it'll be interesting. Newcastle away. No, it'll be interesting when I get my... Someone who's been tallying up all mine and I'm going to get them next week and it'll be interesting to see what mine is like. Yeah, yeah. Erm, Leighton Paints? Well, we love him, don't we? Mm-hmm. I'm the guitar player in the full backs, you know. It just so happens to have been replaced by a good one. Yeah. A quality one. Someone even better. Younger. Younger. No, not better. I'd keep him on for a year. Yeah. And I'm... I'm... And I say that because I'm normally ruthless. Yeah. As you'll see. Mm-hmm. I keep him on for a year because I think the only one alternative besides buying a replacement, buying a backup, is that you'd have to bring young Connolly back or you'd have to slip John Joe over to, you know, as a, you know, a backup left-back and then adult him down to the wall. I mean, you've got... Leighton Paints. You've got Robinson, who's been at Wiggenburg. Yeah. He's probably not there to be either. Yeah. So, you know. But I'd keep Baines. I'd keep him for... You know, it depends on, you know, I mean, I don't know what the financial circumstances are. Well, I think he is going to sign another 12-month deal. Well, I think that would be ideal. I think it will be the juxtaposition. And I think maybe 12 months of time we may be in the same position. Again, they make, you know, I mean, it's a quality football. Yeah. And a great guy to have a round. Yeah. I mean, a great guy to have a round. You don't see him parking in handicapped spots. You don't? I don't know, Betty. You haven't been playing that sport. Jordan didn't. When did he do that? Fine. When I came in, the first thing I opened up the paper, and there he was. See, I don't read news papers. No, no, no. In his £170,000 as an artist. That's fair enough. I don't read news papers. So you've given Leighton Paints a six. A six, yeah. A six. Well, he didn't play the game. No, no. I mean, that's a good game. So, right. Michael Keane. Michael Keane? Well, he's improved. He played, hasn't he? I mean, I either shipped him out, not that long ago, but I think he's improved. I mean, I think he's suffered very well. He's good to the ball. We talked about Shane Duffy before. You know, you think about people who nearly make it. Shane Duffy was a good player, except he got that illness, if you remember. I mean, he managed to make a bit of Shane Duffy. You know, there's tougher, maybe a different taste of women than Shane Duffy. Go on, explain that. No, I'm not explaining it. I'm just leaving it there. I see Michael Keane, yeah. I think he's, if he carries on like he has done in the past few months, I think he's provided us with the solid defense. I don't know how many clean sheets we've had in the last six or so games. We had eight in the last 10. But that's pretty good, isn't it? He's played, we've had the majority when he's been in the team. Now, you're looking at me as if you're not quite convinced by these opinions of mine. No, I'm just listening. I think what you haven't really mentioned is how good Michael Keane is on the ball. Or he's passionately brilliant. I mean, I think that's something we've all noticed of late. His distribution is very, very good. It's just his liability, of course, if you come up against someone with pay and with trickery, they can turn him inside out. I mean, I think that's his problem. But I think that's worthy. You have to have. I defended him. I defended him last year. I think he's been, I think he's been better than Zuma himself. Well, I think it's been, it's been very good. And the thing that I would question about this is we need a leader, we need a captain. And he would be possibly a candidate for that if he progressed like he is doing. Or Zuma. No, not Keane. Well, Dave Watson said this last week. It could become a brand. The ball type of captain. Yeah. Dave Watson said this. That he was a leader, wasn't he? Dave Watson. Well, that's good to know. He took his time to study. That's good to know. Dave Watson said he's watched them this year. And he said he's incredible, you know, improvement. And he said, but he's got to, I suppose like what you just said, he's got to be confident enough to take that role and go, I'm going to start. I belong here. And you don't really get that way when you think you belong here. I don't know what, I don't know what it's like playing, you know, in front of people, amongst people who boo you, you know, or don't fully appreciate you. Yeah, yeah. But it must impact on your confidence. Yeah, yeah. Kurt Zuma. So he's got, Keane got seven. Oh, he got seven. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's a seven. Now, I'm not like you. I don't go seven, seven half. Oh, no, seven. I just give him a seven. You didn't even say seven though. I'm sorry. But that's yours. He's just saying it. Kurt Zuma. Kurt Zuma. Go on. Eight. You've given him. I gave him an eight. That's a generous eight. I think we like him because he's so big. Yeah. And he's a man mountain. And we think that's what you need. If it's surprisingly, if we don't sign him, which I have a feeling we won't sign him, I don't think we'll sign another man mountain to go with him. You know, I mean, we've had distance, I would consider to be a man mountain. This guy's a man mountain. And they certainly serve the purpose. But I think maybe we need to have somewhere a little bit more creativity about them in moving up this level. Yeah. I can't see him having a career with Chelsea at all. No, no. That's the annoying thing. I think you'll go back to Chelsea. And just hang around. And it'll be a cat. And we've spoken about this before. And it's where the crossover is. It's where we decide to move when we decide to move on. You know what I mean? And it could be a case that we have to move on. And then by the time the summer comes to an end, Chelsea are like, well, we don't actually really. We'll actually make that may happen by the end of the year in the six months time. It may be like Chelsea is saying he's not playing. The lads are unsettled. He may want to force a move. And by then, of course, we may, depending what we've come up with, the formula to replace him. So that's Zuma gets an eight. But there's a generous eight. Phil Jagealka. Well, a lovely guy. And I'll see you. Fantastic servant for the club. No sentimentality there. I think he got a good send-off. I think he has been a top class. I don't think he's been a top class captain, but he's been a top class pro. A great guy to have around the club. I think I'm very, very highly of him. It was only not that many years ago that I read how fast he was. He won the fastest lads in there. Won the fastest defenders in the league. Just a great defender. He never let you down. He threw himself in front of things. He always... Fantastic. But there's no room for that anymore. We've got lots of lads coming. I think we'd have a trophy if he hadn't got injured in 2009. Yeah. I think we would have. I think with that year, if we'd have had that set of the Q-Boom and Jagealka, we'd have beat Chelsea in the final. I think. I think 100%. But I just think we've seen him and... Lescott. Yeah. If they'd been a part of the show. They would. Excellent. So we got a six. He did get a six. Not only because he had a good game and then he didn't have a very good game. There was the second game, the follow-up game. He looked exposed. André Gomez. Yeah. These are not in a particular order, by the way. These are the order that comes to my head. Okay. This is fine. This is the guy who's had a stroke. This is fine. Can't argue. So Bear with me here. André Gomez. Seven. Seven. I think you've got to look at others. I would do. I'd look around and see what else there is before you made the decision. I mean everybody's saying about, you know, that everyone's looking at him, Arsenal's looking at him and whatever. I think we have a look around, see what there is before we start negotiation with him. Oh, this is a great footballer. He's a bit inconsistent. I think they've built a good blend between him, Sigerson, and Gay. They're pretty effective. He's not as influential as I'd hoped he would be. But that may be, you know, and I thought like I'm getting send enough was just a cheap fowl. Oh, it was a stupid thing to do. It's like going on holiday early, wasn't it? It was unnecessary. That is a good footballer, seven. It depends how much you're expected to pay for me. See, I think if the figures are close to what's being reported. What do you think you'd pay for? Well, they're saying 17. They're paying more than 17 for him. But if everything could get him for, say, 25, he's only 25 years old. Yeah, he'd pay that far. So you'd pay that. I know what you're saying about alternative. If they were talking 40, they might be able to get one. I'd have a look around. But if it was 25, I think personally. Because he's already, don't forget, he's already bedded in. He knows the club. I wonder how much he likes it though. I know he's bedded in, but he's wonder how much he likes living here. He doesn't live in Liverpool. He lives all the way the edge way. All the edge way. But they do, don't they? A lot of Everton players live out there. Do you know there used to be a requirement that they had to live within a certain distance of the city centre? Witness, I think it was. Not that any of them lived in Whitman. No, but that was the bad thing. It was like a 12, 10 mile, 12 mile radius. Some have moved from back, quite a few have moved back. A couple of Everton players have moved back into the city. And now three Liverpool players have moved back. But a lot of Everton players have moved back. A lot of Liverpool players live in the city. A lot more than Everton. They tend to live around Walton and places like that which they're encouraged to have. And Liverpool probably have probably own properties and things like that. But I think Everton's players are encouraged. Because of where Finch Farmers located, they're basically told, well if you want to quiet life, go to Manchester or... Or to Wilder Hedge in Mounder. And there's also the opportunity of them moving to the city out of the United. And they don't move home. Well, in a way, it's the other way though as well because people like Morgan Sniadlin don't have to move to Cumberland. Well, well, yeah. So it's way the other way. So Gomez was a seven. Sigurdson, he gets a seven. I've grown to like him. I used to think he was very talented, great for his country, but not worth the money. But maybe nowadays, maybe it's just when you look at the market, I do like him. And then the last eight or so games, I've been watching him. I like to watch a certain player and see what he does. And I think he's a hard-working guy. I think he puts in his shift and makes himself available. I'm not saying he's worth 45 million, but I do think he's the person, one of the people you build this team around. I think for me, he's not in the game enough. But the caveat of that is 14 goals from Miffield and E. When we're on it, he's normally the key of the works. He is, but there's no way he should be allowed to take penalties. All three kicks. It's like having Lukaku take penalties. It's become a steady thing, hasn't it? Before this year, his record was probably impeccable. And then once he missed the one in the World Cup last year, he just seems to doubt himself every time he takes a penalty. Well, I doubt him. That's half the problem, isn't it? You've got to give it to Dean because he's inspected us so sweetly. No, I agree on that. So he gets a 7th. Phil woke up. I put this term here, dump. I can't think of any. This lad is out of love with football. I'm not saying he's another very nice man. I'm not saying that. But I think in his own mind, he's retired, and he's just not in the game. I thought he can't be enjoying football. Do you not think he just doesn't shoot away Michael Silver's team plays and therefore he's lost a bit of confidence? Oh, I think he's lost confidence. I'm just not sure what he's supposed to do because he never goes forward. He gets the ball, and the first thing he does is move it backwards. You never see this, unless the ball goes over the top of the defending. You don't see this blister in pace. So I don't know if he really has this blister in pace anymore. He's quickly or a week, against United, to love the 3-ball by Stig, but that's what he should be doing every game, shouldn't he? And you're right, he generally runs back the other way. We haven't got time for that. He's taking up space. He can apply his trade in the United States or somewhere else, a chime or something like that. Oh, it goes to Southampton. And you know, no doubt he'll... Do you know when we played against Burnley, did Lenin play? No, no. I was looking for... No, he didn't play into the thing. I don't think this guy is an improvement on Lenin. But that's actually a good comparison because he sort of is at the stage Lenin was at, where he might get the odd little cameo from, but when he actually plays games, he's not offering anything. I think for me, just the finding on World Cup, the problem you've got with Theo World Cup is the contract, isn't it? He's on too much money for a player who doesn't play. You know, and that... As I said, he's out of love with football. He knows things are not going well. He can... I'm not saying, as once again, I'm not saying he's not a good guy, not good with the fans or whatever. I'm not saying he's not playing. I'm just saying he's just not going far. He's just not going far. It's not happening, is it? No. Okay, Luka Deane... That's good, isn't it? Is that alright? You know straight away, don't you? No, you know. A lad who can take a throwing like that and give him an extra point for that is a cultured footballer. Pleasure with his head, though. I think one of the things that worries me about him is that somebody will come in for him. Somebody needs to left back, like Manchester United. I don't think somebody... I'm not saying they're going to turn his head, but they could turn an average of his head if they come in with silly money, you know. Possible, but I just don't think they would. What do we pay for? 18. They'll say they came in at 40, 45. I think you're looking at 80. 25 years of age. There you go. But I know what you're saying, but for me, Luka Deane, United on it. United on it. You've got the stadium to build. But then that's up to the... He's a top-class player. He's fantastic. I don't think any of the stadium money is coming from player sales. Not much, however. Not one penny of it. Genuinely. It's coming from Mr Rojmanov. I hope so. I know what you're saying. Don't get me wrong to that one. But the real sacrifices... In the future, that's... I was just about to say, maybe in the future, my cabers from buying players but I don't think we will sell players because I don't necessarily think it works like that. At this stage. I think in the past it would. But remember when you said about Liverpool, they build the players up, they get in with them, they sell them some more. Well, he's a candidate for that. Yeah, possibly. Anyway, I think he's a star. I think actually he'd make a good captain. An unusual one. But... By example. Because he does, doesn't he? He does, indeed. Fantastic portfolio. Yeah. So you've got a nine. Jerry Meena. Well, the only thing I've noticed about Jerry Meena is that he did his own lap of honour. He did. Yeah, he did. And I give him full credit for that with his kids and with their partner and kids. He did very good, yeah. I think that maybe is sole contribution as it's of a... He's got the gold. Yeah. He did. He did. And it's the kind of gold that you'd expect him to score. Yeah, of course. But he's... We can't... I just don't think we can judge him, can we? Because we just haven't seen. But... We've paid enough. Meena, the fact is he may be cropped. You know, that we may never get to see him. And I'm not sure that we can... I mean, there have been cases of Peter Ead as one, a player who recovered from significant injuries. Nicolian injuries, continuous injuries. And once he got playing again, he was rarely injured. This guy... I feel sorry for him. He's not had a chance. And he seems like a happy-go-lucky guy, doesn't he? A happy-go-lucky guy to have around the dressing room. But you can't rely on him playing. You couldn't say, well, he's going to replace... Zoom. Yeah, Zoom. You see, if he's one of the few, I think, that if he can stay fit, and don't forget he's had different injuries, the last one was Columbia injured and Evan told them not to play. But if he could stay fit, I actually think he's got the potential to be a leader, something we were talking about before. And he could be a great influence on Keen. You know, he's the kind of guy with the experience of Keen as well. I was just going to say, I think we'll know more about him once he's had a pre-season. Because he didn't have pre-season last year. Getting back from the World Cup injured with the broken foot. Never told anyone. When I got through the medical, I don't know, well, back home did the medical, didn't he? And then he's been playing catch-up all season. So get him fit. Get him a pre-season. Although we will play in the Copa America, which is, you'll probably play more games in the Copa America than he did for us. We'll know probably by November whether it's from a late bono. But so he gets a six. He does get a six. And that's because, you know, to be objective, we've not seen how he'd play. Senk. Senk Towsen. See ya. I honestly think this lad is one that braves players I've seen, because this lad plays in the rain. You know what that means. That's a chip. That's a chip. I can say it, can't I? I can say it, can't I? He's going to be hard to move out. And once again, it's not that the lad doesn't try hard. And if he'd scored the back heel, the other wing, that would have been lovely. He doesn't get much of a run-out, but you can see it's not quite to the level that we were. It wouldn't get in the teams above us. And that's what we must be looking at. That's your guide, your goal standard. Is he good enough for them? Well, no, that's not the case. Will he ever be good enough? No, he's not going to be. How are you going to move him on? I don't know, because he's got a significant contract and worries likely to go to, which I would imagine is back to his home country. They're not going to pay him money like we are paying him. So I think he's one of the problems that we have here is that I don't know how he woke up, tossing, I really don't know how you're going to shift him. That's where he's going to earn his money. Our director of football is going to make him money. So you've given him a six? I have given him a six. James McCarthy? I reluctantly sell him. And that depends very much on Garnagay. What's he looking around at? No, no. I just don't know why we like to just move. Like do some kind of presence? No, the little bar just comes up. Yeah, McCarthy, sadly, has been injured far too much. I don't think he's had much of a shake, a fair shake under the manager for some reason. I think there were opportunities where he could have played. It's trust though, isn't it? It's like, if you're, you know, you've ran companies, if you look at someone and go... Why won't you trust him? To do what you want him to do. He puts in a shift. No, but for quite clearly, the manager, and this is why we are where we are now, is because when they had that break, they had the 17-day break, he'd assist them who he could trust to play. And that's them 13 players who played these last 10 games. And they're the team. And they're the team. So the other, the other... So he's obviously made the decision that he doesn't... Well, off you go. I mean, you'll sell him, get a few bobs for him. Yeah. So he gets a six. Is this a Garnagay? Well, he's the star of the team. He's... I remember... He came to my first book signing, a couple of years ago. I saw him come... I was at Finch Farm when he came. A little kind of guy with it. He had like six big blacked-out Mercedes Benz came with him. With his, you know, with his football. And I'm sure there was an ambulance behind him with his blood in. You know, it was like a presidential motorcade that came out of there. And he just, this little fella comes in and, you know, it's thin, skinny as it can be. Then we had him at the book signing. A lovely guy. Absolutely delightful, cheerful, you know, interested kind of guy. Engaging kind of guy. He just puts it all in there, doesn't he? And his attitude after being denied the move is... Yeah, I think that's impressed that people, doesn't it? I give him 50% more money just on keeping because that's the attitude you want. I think it's... And particularly now when he's been allowed to go forward a little bit, I've been quite impressed. Yeah, he is the pivot to the team, isn't he? He really is. It's all on him, really. You guys too young to see Alan Ball. Yeah. You sure? Yeah. But Ball was like that. Always there for the ball. I'm not saying different kind of football, but always there for the ball. But there's a lot of stuff that you don't really notice. Yeah. But it's like he's, you know... Always moving for the ball, bringing other people into the game. It's such an influence on the team the way we play, without him being there and breaking up so much of the opposition, playing and coming forward. But we wouldn't be the same team. I think that's been noticeable since the break is that he has played, apart from the full-on game, he's been an 8, 9 out of 10 every single game. Yeah. That's one of the reasons why the team's been doing so well. So he gets a 9.5. 9.5. He said he didn't... Off on a 0.5 shot before. No, it doesn't get 10, because he has these three names, you know? I mean, just decide on your name, you know? I thought you were going to say, because he couldn't shoot. Well, I said the other day on the echo, I said he reminds me of John Eddbull and the old term, the heads of the head. I thought you did it. Go on, move on. So next on the list, Morgan Snidlin. 6.5. Well, last few games he's played well, but that's, you know, a fluke or whatever. You know, he's looked impressive against Burnley. That's been impressive. In the last few games, he's looked very well, but maybe he's gone through something we don't know about. He's had a tough year. He lost his father, didn't he? And he's had a baby. So I think Marco Silva dealt with both things really well. And he's come back strong in that series. He has come back. If he continues as he is, I mean, there's no doubt you keep him. You know, if he's got his head together. I don't think he can, if we lose Garner, I don't think he can be, he's not like that. We all choose to say he can't play them together, but they're different, they are different players. And you can play them together now. But you can't now, because now Garner's a different... But you've also got two fellas either side, like Bernad or Macial. So I give him a six and a half and I keep him. Okay. Okay. Bernad. I love him. Yeah. I just love him. Yeah. I love everything about him. I love his attitude. I love the way he smiles. I love the fact that he's enjoying himself. Mm-hmm. I mean, when you last see an Everton player enjoy themselves, he just runs and graphs them, whatever, and he does the little tricks. I can't remember the one he did the other week who was against and he just... I was watching him on the telly and I didn't know where the ball had gone. You know, he's got that special, hasn't he? Yeah. In me, he used to call them like luxury players, but he graphs so much that there's not a luxury. Yeah. It's fair such. Incredible. His vision's incredible. And if he cannot goal, the biggest criticism you'd say is he should score more goals. Yeah. But again, like Peth said before, with regards to the likes of Jerry Mina, let's get him a pre-season and let's see what he's like next season. Yeah. But I... Well, I've seen... It's a football maestro. It's a football maestro and he's the kind of person that you would go... You know, if you went to the game and he wasn't playing, you'd be really disappointed. You'd be disappointed, yeah. Yes, he's that kind of player, the early years. Martin Stechenberg! Yeah, you know, thanks, but, you know, time to retire. I don't know if the other lad that we've got, I guess we'll get to that, if we've gotten him ready to go yet. Yeah. But, you know, we... See, I'd keep Stechenberg from the other year. He's in last year's contract, I think, next season. I thought it would expire this year. I think it's the end of the year. No, it's just 12 months ago. So I would just leave him. He's got 12 months. Oh, I'd leave him then. I'd just leave him and I might just... I might just... And what I'd do is start allowing such a gel-virgin... Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, I agree with you. I'm just going to be number two. I agree with you. I think... I think it's important to have three goalkeepers of different varying experiences. Well, I heard, well, was it Richard Ellison was saying that Stechenberg gives him all sorts of... And, you know, professional advice and, you know, his best friend there and, you know, tells him about what football is about because it's Richard Ellison. Only 21, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is the guy who's done it all. Who's done it. Yeah, yeah. So I do apologize. I was wrong there. I thought he... his time was up. So he's just got another 12 months off. He's had a good thing. He's got another 12 months. Well, he pushes the other lads back though. Sheamus... You've given us seven. This is an emotional one, isn't it? You know, I noticed down the games in Burnley that the lad can't cross the ball. Yeah. I love the money. That is true. Yeah. And that's not good, either. Final ball. But... Oh, it's hard to say... I suppose if he carries on as he is, I'd be looking to replace him whether he carries on as he is. You know, he's got that shirt. Yeah. But I have a great affinity for Hallgate. And not necessarily Hallgate to fall back, but I like the fact that Hallgate can play both ballback and center half. And I think we need to bring in that lad back and see how good he is. Yeah. And to put a challenge on Sheamus, I think Sheamus at the moment, I don't know if John Jones is good enough. I do like him. And I think he would make a cracking captain, John Jones, anyway, you know. But I don't know whether he's of the quality that... I look, if he used the criteria, would he get into the top six teams, John Jones? I would think no. And he asked me now, would Sheamus Coleman get into those teams now? I don't think that he would. So that's the... Yeah. But I'm emotionally attached to him because I think he's been such a great... He's been such a great player. He's been a great fan of ball. You're giving a seven. I gave him a seven. Okay. With Charleston. I gave him an eight. I think you think it may be another 12 months, but I think he'll be on his way within no time. I really do. Seven-hour plays. I do. Well, I think that he won't be there. They'll get the heads turned. Ever know the player? Oh, the player? Yeah. Yeah. You know the player? No. Because he just loves Mark of Silver. He absolutely loves him. Oh, well, that's... And that's a big thing. So, like his father, like a mentor. He loves... That's why he was prepared to walk out of Wofford. Oh, well, that says a lot, then. But I think you're right. I think if he has another season, then it might be. Yeah, I think he... But it depends on everything, though. But it depends what we do and how much money someone's talking about. Yeah. You know, if somebody comes in at 70 million, 75, 80 million, you know... Well, whatever. Yeah, yeah. You know, you start thinking about it. But I think that's where brands are looking, Google, you're offering me 95% of the time, so I can get him for 35, so I'll have the 60 million pound profit. But he's done really well. Oh, he has. Oh, he has. Oh, yeah, he has. And he's a worker. He is a worker. And he's, you know, he's a... Well, I mean, he's an entertainer of sorts, isn't he? Well, him and Bernard have created the balance, haven't they? Yeah. So it all seems to be working. Tom Davies. I like Tom. Give him a seven. Yeah, a game of ten. He needs to move it up a level, though. A notch. I like him, though. I don't think we've seen the better. Are you worried about lads like Tom Tom? If Tom's the best of what we're producing, and I'm saying, let's say that that's the case, if he's not going to make it, well, what's the point of all these lads coming along? Yeah. Because Tom Nam must have played 80 games, as he has experienced. He's, you know, as I say, I like him. He puts in... He's still on the arcade as well. Yeah, yeah. But, I mean, he just needs to move up a notch now. Yeah. Well, he's just starting the new concept, hasn't he? And he said that the club have got a long-time plan for him. So if you look from that point of view, that's positive. That's very positive. And maybe he'll mature where you actually build the team, build the team. I mean, a different kind of player than the other lads we've got in midfield. You know, he's a great player. Yeah, he's totally different player. Dominic. I gave Tom a seven. I gave Dominic a seven as well. He's good in the air, isn't he? He's just not always heading it in the place where you want him to go, isn't he? In the desired direction. You can't fault his effort, and you can't fault the fact he's come along so far. Oh, he's improved. And he obviously enjoys what he's doing. I think you've got this question, Matt, though, is he ever going to be good enough? You've got to wait and see. But he can't start the season as our principal striker. We've got to bring someone in experienced who can do that. I think that, you know, he just doesn't have that. You say he doesn't have it to his game. He doesn't have that finishing to his game. But I thought, for strikers, it was a part of their makeup. It's what you build the rest of the game around. The lethal. But he's a nice lad, isn't he? I'll give him a score soon for nice lads. I think his game's come on a hell of a lot. Oh, I do. All round, but I think you're right in saying that it's not even like he's got to score more goals. He's got to take more shots. He's got to hit the target more. He's got to make the keeper do more works. So as a fan, you start saying, oh, that was unlucky. He's getting closer. It's when people say, you know, the old adage of, well, at least they had the chance. Yeah, at least we're making chances. At least we're making chances. I think Don needs to get better at just being in the right place. But maybe that comes through. I mean, in the last six months, he's improved. Yeah, he has. Maybe, you know, a year from now. Hopefully so. Look, man. Yeah, get rid of him. Six and a half. Yeah. I'm on his way. There's something about the lad that's not there. You know, you know, you know, I don't see it. And maybe I realize this is the one where I may disagree with you. I just don't see it. I don't know if we think he's going to turn out to be a sterling or something like that. He isn't. You know, he's got good skills or whatever. But no, he's not. I don't see it. I know he's young. But personally, I may disagree with a lot of people on this. I just... I think it's... I think you're right. I wouldn't argue. It's hard. I think with Lukman, it's hard, isn't it? Because you put someone like Tom Davis in the team or you put someone like Calvin Luna in the team. They can affect the game by doing a bit of hard running or closing down or done being good with his back to goal. Whereas for Ademola Lukman, the way he changes a game is through his skill, through his pace, through his running. And it's got to have an end product. And he doesn't seem to have an end product. And it's very difficult to be positive about him. I think though, you know, I think his... the level that he'll attain at this club will depend very much on the coaching he gets. You know, because if he gets the right coaching, they'll tell him not to overdo things, which is something that I find that he does. He vanishes up, he's in calls of tracks and dead ends or whatever. But no, I think there's better out there. I think it's time to move on. And maybe we should never have brought him back. But I haven't seen what we've seen. I think he probably wants to do half of Lukman because he's done well in Germany. I just think my issue with Lukman is I don't know where he plays. He doesn't do the work of Bernard, if you put him on the left. He doesn't do the work of Ritualus on the right. I think he's got lovely ability in terms of going past plays. He's got quick feet. But I just don't know where that fits in at the club. And I don't know whether he's got... I don't know whether he's got the attitude to roll his sleeves up on battle in the game, because you need that sometimes. Look at Bernard. He's probably eight stone wet through and he runs up and down. He doesn't stop. I think there may be just different kinds of personalities for that. Bernard doesn't mind getting kicked. He eats it. But look, when you kick him a couple of times, you don't see much more room after that. I think what we saw from Lukman was that he got himself to be the first sub, the first one going off the bench. And then that player. And then that started to change and machine slipped back down. He looked decent when he went central on Friday. Night for his little cameo, he ate the bar and he went by players. But even the one in the box, he should have scored. Well, let's wait for six months and see how it goes. I think that, I honestly believe... I wouldn't be good enough to admit it. I think he did so. John Joe, and I give him six and a half. John Joe, Kenny, who will give seven to. I think he's a solid lad. He's the lad that you should have around, whether it would be a first team regular at question. But I think he's a good lad. He's a good lad, yeah. Did you have it? I grabbed the rest of it. We're not doing them on this video. There's far too many. We'll do that. We'll cover that on another video. Do you want to just do yes or no? I'll just go down. You don't have to go into it. I'll just go down. I've come a long way to do this. I was going to do another video. Well, let me just... Alright, okay. Make some hole, guys. Ah, it's cracking, lad. I like him. So bring him back. Bring him back. Okay. Henry on your Curie. I really don't know much about him, but everyone raves about him. So bring him back. Which are 14 goals this season. Let's have a look. 15 goals. Callum Connolly. I like Callum Connolly. Okay. No, I like him. Yeah, okay. I like him. You know, I think he could be a surprise for us. Bring him back. Okay. Joe Williams. You're same again. Alright. Bring him back. Karen Dahl. Oh, this is a tough one, isn't it, Kieran? Okay, this is a tough one. I mean, you know, you want him to do... He's a Kevin Sheedy, the new Kevin Sheedy. He has a lovely way with him. I don't know if we're ready for him. We can bring him along. Maybe he's staying outlawed. I've put here bringing back, but he would be the last one that, you know, of those... I'd like to see him stay at Cheff United for another year, because they're in the Premier League now. Oh, well, that makes a big difference, doesn't it? So we would now, I think, be able to judge him a little bit better in 12 months. Anthony Robinson. I'd upgrade his loan, send him somewhere better than Wigan. Okay, fair enough. Anthony Evans. Same with him, better than Blackpool. Let's see how they go. Okay. I take him out and shoot him. He'd sell him. He'd sell him. He'd sell him. I'd sell him. I'd sell him. I like him, but it's not of the standard that we're now at. So sell him, yeah. Nicola Vlasic. Oh, you might upset some people with this one. Well, everyone says he's great and whatever, but he's made up his mind. He wants to stay there, I would think. I think you're going to have a very happy camp that you're bringing back. I think he could turn out to be a good European footballer. Yeah. But maybe not with us. Okay. So sell him. Yeah. Benny Benningamy. Well, he knows where Benny's gone. You know, he's been in New York. One game and I think he's been in New York. He was going to be our new... New Garner, yeah. He was going to be our new Garner game. Benny likes to tattle. He does. I'd, as it is now, I don't see his faith for him. Okay, fair enough. Matthew Pennington. I've never thought that much of him, but people rave about him. To me, he's like the old keen, you know, who's a bit uncomfortable, you know, turning and the likes. I think he did the... Everyone says he did such a great job at Ipswich for that. I would sell him. He's also the same age as Keen, so... Is he really? Well, it's time to move on. Yannick Balashie. Well, this is where we get this Glock 17 out. You've been in America far too long. Far too long. And we take out... Well, we sell him. We sell Yannick. Yeah, we sell him. Hold on. Keva Morales. And the same. Put him in the same place. Sandro Ramirez. I don't know what to say about this guy. The drain that he has caused on us is just unbelievable, and I don't see an end to it. You just have to, like, have to negotiate a deal where he walks away. Maybe you do that with Morales and with Balashie. Yeah. So I don't think that you... You have to pay someone to take them. I don't think so. I don't think you should. And I think you should be prepared to do that. But the thing is, and I've put this here, you need to keep them away from the club. The club's moved on from there. I used to like Kevin. I mean, I thought, you know, Kevin in the right frame of mind, I thought was a good... I never thought Balashie was up too much for Kevin and Balashie. I really like the Ramirez lad. I've just put what I've seen. I just don't see it. No. OK. Cucamartina. Well, he did his job, but, you know... He's gone. He's gone. Shani Tarasai. He's still on our books. Yes. I don't even know when his contract's up. Is it this summer? I don't know. Or is it another year? I'm surprised. If we'd had the Dixies this year, they would have announced it. He's renewed his contract. I don't know for another five years. Nice one, Bill. Absolutely brilliant. He's gone. Absolutely. He's gone. Luke Garbert. I can't believe it. Can you that Luke still around? 25-year-old Luke Garbert. 25-year-old. I'd just move him on. Being an Everton for eight years. Well, nine years. And then you've got to promote youngsters. Javaging, yeah. I would promote him to the bench. You know, you've got Stecklinburg, but it's time to be moving that way. Morgan Feeney. Well, I hear Ray reviews about Feeney. So you've got to get him involved. I'd put him alone. I'd put him out on the line. I think, you know what? I just think physically, I don't think he's prepared for the Premier League yet. He's not... He's not... He's not physical. He's not built anything for the Premier League yet. So I think that I'd look to put him on loan. Yeah, yeah. Okay. What have we got? Hewlett. I mean, he's just the third keeper, isn't he? Well, I thought... Yeah, so he'll go for it. He'll go for it. Dennis Ednairen. Well, I hear good things about him. So in the other 23s... Yeah, he's not a centre midfielder, though. Not having a centre midfielder. He's more like a centre forward. Picks the ball up and just wants to run with it. We'll have the goals. Josh Bowler. Yeah, keep him just for another year. See how he progresses on the 23s. Okay. Louis Gibson. I'd send him on loan. He's one for the future. He'll rave things about him. Yeah. Maybe the Dave Watson of the future or so. We know. But he's only 19 or so, isn't he? Yeah, 18, 19, yeah. Anthony Gordon. He sounds like a good man. So I put him on loan to give him a bit of an experience. Okay. And then Charles Lee. Oh, they've all led to contracts are up. I'm afraid of the contractor. The only one he'll stay, I think, out of all of them is Basha Shambu, who looks like the given. I thought that he was gonna go. Well, he was. He wasn't. He hasn't got a contact yet, and he will go unless they give him another one. And Galloway, of course, maybe he can get a few bucks for Galloway, but I don't know. And I don't know much about the Sims lad in the under 18s. I don't know whether he's a big lad amongst, you know, school boys. That's what it looks like. But I don't know. It looks like that, but I don't know. I think it's a difficult one with him because... So this is what we need? Yeah, go on. Yeah, go on. You could question, like, do we need a right back? It's not high priority, I don't think. I personally, if West Brom were to come up, I'd leave Hallgate at West Brom. Would you? Same as a baseball. No, no, no, on loan. On loan. Because I'd like to see him play for a year at right back in the Premier League. All right. So I don't know if we buy another right back. That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Well, the other thing, the only backup that you've got is John Joe. I would like Hallgate to come into the squad because he can play both players. It depends on, I don't know, other things, whether he keeps Zuma, and then you're going to have to move him all around and then he gets fit. Of course. Back-up keeper, like you mentioned, that was wrong about Stepplenburg, so... Virginia. But be phasing Virginia in. Well, he's played under 23's football for two years, won the league of Arsenal and won the league of Everton, so... And I imagine he'd probably come to Everton with his assurances that he would become the number two, but then you just wonder about it. Is he too young or... But if you've got Stepplenburg as the number three, then I suppose you're up. My god, the rest was 18. Silver Spokerbam near the dyke and said... He's great. I'd say what he is called that. Great with his feet. Is he? Great with his feet. So, that's what the look of that. That's what he is, he is. Let's go with midfield. Well, it depends on what happens to Gomez and what happens to Guy. We need two strikers. Yeah. I agree. And all my other ones here are... If we lose people, then, you know, if we lost the Zoomer and if we lost Richard Carlson and the likes. And then come back to the idea of the captain. We need the leader. We need the leaders throughout the club. This video has been about three hours long, but who cares? Because how often do we get Dr. Francis in the studio? Big thanks to him. Big thanks to you for watching. And if you want more, check out all... How many books? 17. 17 Everton books. Go and find them. They're all on Amazon and other places. Go on a small shop. People do that anymore? Don't know. Go on a small shop. Buy his book. Thanks for watching. We'll see you later.
