 Welcome to ToffeeTV, it is the Everton News daily from our new set. Recording this very late having been doing this on the set and it's boss. The big news today, not our set, is that Jordan Pickford has signed a new six year deal with Everton. He has signed a contract till 2024. A big fat bumper contract for England's number one goalkeeper. I think it's a really positive piece of news because obviously he had a great whale cup and there was all the nonsense stories about Chelsea wanting them and he might be looking to move on. It's just a load of rubbish. And this is again, further testament to hopefully the work that Marcel Brands far had. I'm tired, it's been a long day. And Marco Silva are trying to do what Everton, good news for Everton fans. That Pickford wants to stay and it's his opportunity to really settle down, play a lot of games for Everton, get better and better and hopefully help Everton improve, which is the thing we all want, isn't it? We want to be up there challenging and we want to be a club that players like Pickford know that they can stay and do well and achieve some of their aims. That's what we've got to be aiming for. I understand that the minute that's probably, we're a bit up and down, but that's what we've got to be looking for. We've got to be a club that's stable, a club that players feel what these are going to challenge for honours, they're going to challenge for the top four, for the champions league, they're going to challenge for cups, get into Europe regularly and that's what we have to aim for and I'm sure that is the aim and as long as players like Pickford continue to see their future at Everton, I think it's a really good thing, you know, and on top of the summer signings for Marco Silva, the future does look a lot brighter, certainly than it did six months ago. Another piece of news today, Nicola Vlasic, who is on loan at CSKA Moscow, his dad's been speaking out and has said that Marco Silva made a big mistake letting his son leave. He's also Vlasic's agent has done as well. He said that Silva apparently told Vlasic he was one of his best midfield players but he wanted them to go out and get games. Vlasic has gone and doing very well for himself. He scored a couple of goals and had a couple of assists in his open six matches playing in midfield. Vlasic's dad did say that he may stay beyond the season in Moscow but it depends on Everton, it depends on how well Nicola does this season and how, you know, what role Marcel Brands and Marco Silva see for his son at the end of the season. But it's good for the player because he's playing Champions League and playing at a decent level and hopefully he'll get a lot of games and develop and then, you know, maybe Marco Silva will have another look at him next summer and may be able to get him into a position in the team. Silva did say last week, of course, that we've got Guilfee Siginton and Cairn Dahl in that position at the minute where he thinks Nicola Vlasic could play so we'll have to see how he develops over the season and obviously the form of Siginton as well and whether Cairn Dahl makes that next step or not, does he still, is he still gonna get games? You know, he's been in a few squads but hasn't got on the pitch. He's only played against Rotherham, obviously we've got Southampton in the Carabao Cup next week so it'll be interesting to see whether Dahl is considered for that one as well, to wait and see on that. The under-21s were unlucky last night through 1-1 with Bradford in the check-trade-toe trophy, easy for you to say and it went out 6-5 on penalties. He did lead, Basisambu scored in the 78th minute but lost Anthony Evans to a red card on 85 before Bradford equalised in injury time and then went on to win on penalties so unlucky there for the under-21s but yeah, that's it.
