 Welcome to Toffy TV, I'm joined by Andy, because Everton have done it again. They've signed another player. This time it is 27-year-old Gibril Siddabi. Is that right? Siddabi, oh, ychydgrif Siddabi. I like that. From Monaco on a year's loam on a view to a permanent deal. Right back, Marco Silver said, all sum it that he wanted the right back. And obviously, I think John Joe Kenny gone to Shelch a very early on in the window suggested that Everton would be in the market. Mason Holgate obviously came back and a few people wondered whether he would be the natural back-up. But doesn't, well, it isn't like that, is it? Because obviously Siddabi's been, has come in so, tell us a little bit about him. French International played in the World Cup in the Wunit 2018. It can play left back or right back. He's a right back more predominantly. Quick, strong, tall, he's six foot, he'll add a physical presence to the team. Going forward he's a bit more dynamic than Coleman and said he's a bit of a better passer. Defensively, work to be done, I think Marco Silver will probably be a good coach for him in that sense. But he's a good player, it's an improvement. I think I spoke to people on Twitter a lot. I don't think Colgate is a predominantly right back. We needed someone to come and push Coleman or even, you know, play, you can share games, rotate it for certain games. Siddabi will have, you know, give us something different. For me, if he hadn't injured his knee in 2017-18 and he missed basically what he did is he put his operation back so we could go with the World Cup. He couldn't play him for a man United, he couldn't play him for the Champions, maybe not a man United, but the Champions hit him. He was that good at them two seasons, but last season he was a bit off the boil, but hopefully he returned from his knee injury. He took a season before he got back on the horse, so hopefully he'll be one of those. He can really push on and everything. I think to me it makes perfect sense for the player this age. Obviously we all wanted the model, 20-26, coming in and exciting. With all the exciting time, and you've also got to have some players who were established, and Seamus Coleman, we all love him. Fantastic Heaven Man being one of the Premier League's best right backs as far as I'm concerned, being absolutely brilliant. But he, like everybody else, needs to be under pressure for his placing. I don't think Seamus has been under much pressure in the last six, seven, eight years because... No, not really, because it's only if it was coming towards the end when Seamus took over, and we needed a change anyway, and then Seamus has been that good that we haven't needed to upgrade on him. You know, me and Pett talked about this last year with Baines and Luca Deane. Baines was amazing, but instead of getting someone who could push Baines and challenge him as he was getting that bit older, we didn't, we just flogged him. So, you know, it was too long, and I suppose this one, something like this, gives Michael Silver and Marcel Brandt a chance to look at this fella, a chance to have an eye on who might be the natural successor if it isn't him. And it also puts pressure on Seamus to perform at the top of his game because he's now got someone who could take it. It's not like an international player for France, you know, it's not like you signed a young player, you know, you're going to say that it's going to take a year, he's going to push Coleman. And because we've got that option to buy, supposedly, I'm not too sure what the message is, but it gives us a chance though, it's just given that year and if he does do well and we decide that he is going to be all right back for next couple of years because we're still looking for that long-term successor, I think it's the perfect short to medium table stock gap. It's a very good player, you know, we, as you say, it's, we could have got a young player, but I think Michael Silver probably wants someone who's established to push Coleman quite quickly. So someone who could push Coleman and someone who's got up a Coleman string because if you look at Coleman last year between what August and January it was, it missed defensively, not great. And then I think when the team picked up Coleman picked up as well, because I was all four-sign a brand new right back in February and then he had about five or six good games in the monsters, still got it in his locker, but he just needs someone else to push him. So I think that's a good enough sense that we've got now someone that we can rely on, we can play in any game, we can turn to the CDB, or even if the CDB starts you can turn to Coleman, it gives us options either way. Yeah, I think that for me is key for where the manager and Marcel Bland are trying to take us. It's all about raising the level of the squad. It's about getting competition everywhere. Again, you know, some people get carried away with the 11 players think, where's he going to play? Why are you getting him? Why are you getting him? You've got to have me and you were talking off camera before, it's about having 16 or 17 players that you look and go, any of them are a good team, any of them can play. You don't want to take the team where someone has five bad games, you've got no one to bring in, you know what I mean? If they have three bad games you should have someone to bring in, replace them, we can't rely on a couple of players. That's why I think maybe, and I'm not too sure what you're saying, that's why I've been hard, it's been probably getting too much out so we can push him as well. So I don't think we're going to go into the season, probably where we've got any positions, where there's guaranteed starters, I hope so anyway. Maybe only Pickford. Yeah, I suppose, but Lossal's a Premier League goalkeeper, I think it's a step up from Stechlenberg trying to push him, so that's a plus. I think with Sadibi, he offers a certain different, Coleman's obviously very direct, he likes to push on to the bar line. This is like in Shechbachon, he can pass from both feet, he can go across from the ball, he can pass inside, for me he's a big key now. With teams playing so narrowly, he wants, he's sort of like Bay and Lee, he wants you to cross it, which is what Coleman has to do with us this lad. He can cut it, he can thread a pass through the line of defence which is what we need, so he offers a certain different, which is great really, because I think we've lacked that. Coins was really good at getting, you know, beating the man, his pace, pushing teams, but that little bit of like ingenuity is just to break a team down, Coleman doesn't really have that a lot at that time, so he'd be a good sign for that. We've had a couple of things down here, 18 caps of France, one goal, 112 games, he's played for Monaco and got four goals. 14 assists. 14 assists also. Right back to never, you're going to be prolific assists or goals or as are they, but you just need them to chip in. He's created 29 chances to open play last season, then Coleman was about 18, 19, so it's an improvement on that, it is the French League however, I understand that. But yeah, again, we need, I've been saying this for 18 months now, creativity is a big thing now. The more people who can thread a pass, the more people can set chances up, quality chances up, the better will be. So you don't have to rely on a signature in every game, you don't have to rely on better now, the creative responsibility is spread throughout the team. What I like about Sotheby is natural enthusiasm to want to get forward, he overlaps a lot, he gets it out of his feet, he's not looking to turn and play it back to the centre back, it's about getting forward. What he does is, you've just alluded to it there, is that he mixes things up, it might be a thread a through pass, it might be I'm going myself on my left foot or he'll hit the ball on, but he puts some great crosses in, but people have some of your data and stuff on why he's counting. Yeah, he's really good cross, he can mix it up, he can fizz the man, he can float the man, your left foot, right foot. So yeah, that makes it harder to fend because you don't know if he's going to check back on his left foot, you don't know if he's going to go past you. Also you can play your left back as well, I know we've got Bain still in the back up, but if Bain's can't fizz, then you've lost the option to play Sotheby if need be for a game or so. The best teller in the squad is good, I'd just like to pick up something you said there, he isn't afraid to go forward, I think it's the same with Kebaman really, he's a bit younger. There's a bit of a feel on the ball, it isn't that safety first aspect, sometimes you see Schneider, he sometimes just checks the ball back up, it's the same with Coleman, checks back. I think these players are more fearless than they are looking to exploit gaps in teams quickly, they make decisions quick, so I think that's a good one, he wants an aggressive team in the press and with the ball as well. And again, you mentioned it before when we started physicality again, another six footer, a bit of an athlete. Yeah, we struggled to set in games didn't we at times last season against like you taught them some new offers where they had a big midfield and big wingers and stuff like that. At times you're a bit small but I think this season you know Kebaman, Keynes, big lad as well, we've got a bit more heightened strength in the team so it's a good thing to see. I think if you look at Silver's other teams he's always had that physicality of our teams as well as obviously the pace and the directness as well. So I think we've got things to mix up now which I did say like you can't play one way, when we played at the end of last season was one way to do things. We need multiple ways to play and I think signs like him who's good on the ball can pass, he can play direct, he can play a bit more possession football. Gives us something different same with Kebaman, same with the players we signed. Even if you look at Keen and Dominic Harford-Lewan the different types of striker. So we've got physicality now. Yeah, definitely. And obviously Luca Deane's there, French-speaking style. Yeah, exactly. So it fits him with that and hopefully... And K2. Hopefully K2 and of course but yeah, so it's easier for me to see French-speaking lads. So it's a plus all round and I think having a well cut win it can't be bad for that win of mentality. One of the things with Monaco as well, one title with Monaco and France as well. So again we're having another winner, that win of mentality, consistency, a breed in the dressing room, that's what we need. On the French team as well, also with of course Luca Deane as well. He's been in squads together Morgan Snider and still is a French speaker. He has had a knee problem as I say, hopefully I think as I said about the zoom thing. He might have taken, he might have talked a season. Maybe this season you see him back on his best, which is a very good player. Overall listen, there'll be evident signings this summer. We'll have been more exciting than others but I think this is a clever signing by the club. And you know it's what we spoke about last week. We were talking about a right back maybe on loan or something. He was one of the better options. I had a playlist out on a specific day of like the potential options areas as well. Kenny Tete. And it's Sadib, because Sadib has been offered to a couple of clubs. Brighton were interested in him. And he turned Brighton down because he wanted a better club. And obviously he got one of me in there. It's all good, good lad. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. You're happy about Jibril Sadib joining Everton this season.
