 Welcome to Toffy TV, here is the Everton News Daily. Raphael Benitez is still the favourite for the Everton job today. There hasn't really been any update today with regards to that he is still the bookie's favourite. I've 4-6, a lot of stuff going on, a lot of Evertonians very, very unhappy with that. I don't really know what Everton expected if they expected people to welcome him with open arms. But a lot of people on social media especially have made their feelings known about the possible appointment of Raphael Benitez as Everton manager. Even taking into account and discarding the stuff, the comments he made about Everton when he was Liverpool manager, for me the concern is more the way he plays and the fact that a number of clubs he's fell out with certain people or he's tried to turn a fan against owners and stuff like that, which is more of a concern to me. And also he's not really been at the top level for the last few years as well, so that is a concern. But apparently you're reading a lot of the media reports that Farad Mashiiri is interested in bringing him in. A new name did emerge today, who supposedly is in the rumour, which is Lucien Favre, who is the former Brosiad Dortmund manager. He did well at Nice and Brosiamans in Gladbach as well, finished runners-up twice with Brosiad Dortmund. He would be one to be interested in bringing him in, but again he's another shortane and said he's 63 years of age, so not here for the long term, but Favre is a good manager and would be obviously less divisive than what Raphael Benitez would be at Everton. He is talking to Crystal Palace as well and a couple of reports saying a couple of clubs are interested in him in the Premier League. Tottenham er in talks with Giannaro Cattuso now after Paolo Fonseca, that fell through with them, so you wouldn't expect them to be in for Favre, which kind of indicates maybe that it's Everton, but we don't know. Paolo Fonseca is another one now that has come back in to the conversation this afternoon because that move to Tottenham has fallen through, but a couple of the reports saying it fell through because of tax. You get a tax dispensation in Italy that he wouldn't get in England, so again then you start thinking is it just down to money. At the moment it still looks like Raphael Benitez is the favourite. Nuno Espirito Santo still in the running as well if you believe some other people show it. It doesn't look like the clearest path to appointing a manager, but we'll have to wait and see and obviously we'll have stuff on toffee TV if anything changes. According to Portuguese news outlet A Bola Everton are very close to agreeing a deal with Sport and there's been for 22-year-old Miffio player Mateus Nunes. They've gone big today A Bola saying the deal is in place 18 million euros plus 2 million add-ons if he makes x amount of appearances and stuff. Marcel Brand has been following him for a while. Box to box Miffio, they like to carry the ball. Looks, the kind of signing you would expect Marcel Brand to have and try to bring in at Everton. If A Bola are right with this one then Everton could have themselves a good midfielder for next season. According to Colombian journalist Javier Hernandez, James Rodriguez would be allowed to leave Everton for free this summer if Real Madrid wanted to take him back. Saying there's a clause in Hamers' contract that allows him and agreement allows him to return to the Bernabout should Carlo Antialotti want him. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know whether people would be disappointed with that or wouldn't be bothered. Who knows, this has been not being confirmed anyway. This is just the story doing the rounds today. Hamers had 14 goals involved in last season for Everton, 6 goals and 8 assists. He never played, hasn't played a single game in front of the crowd. The appearance is the four games that are crowding, he wasn't involved in any of them. It would almost be like a mad Netflix programme if he got off that he played for Everton and none of us seen him, he just witnessed it on TV. I'll have to wait and see where that one is concerned.
