 Welcome to Toffy TV, now I haven't been linked heavily with Morgan Gibbs whiting the last few days so let's have a chat about him, let's see what he can bring to Everton because for a lot of people out there they might be too aware of what kind of play he is and what kind of experience he's had in the last few seasons so just generally ba is what kind of player is he? Rest of time for the start, the way that people hate isn't it? People like to have a player tied down to one position but I think the thing with him is that he can play in a couple of midfield positions and also wide right and Everton have only really got, I think we talked on another video Everton have only really got Andrews Tarns and he's naturally comfortable on the right hand side but obviously he's still only recuperating from a nailing him into injury and he's going to be out for some time doing his rehab at the moment so you're asking, in the current squad you're asking Anthony Gordon or Damari Greig to play out there, neither have done it with too much effect because they both prefer I think to play out there so I think Morgan Gibbs White can play over on that side, he's quite good carry in the ball and stuff but you can also play in centre positions as well off a 10 or maybe even an 8 in a midfield 3 busy in midfield so it's again the profile, young, he's 22 I think in January, he's being part of the England under 21 setup as well and a very very good long spell at Sheffield United and obviously worked with Kevin Falwell before that Wolves. Let's just have a look at his basic numbers, games played 38, goals 12 assists 9, big chances made 16 and his dribbles per game 1.3 and there obviously his numbers last season when he was at Sheffield United where he had the good long spell and if you were to base it, if you were to suppose if you were to base it on, if he was a Sheffield United player, I think that would be, I think if you were looking at those numbers and thinking yeah that's someone that should be looking for, that's the kind of player that everything should be going for, that's a player who is very much on the up and is ready to take that next step I suppose because he is a Wolves player, I think there's been this almost like this feeling that Wolves are prepared to discard them and we're getting somebody else's or something like a player that's not really wanted by Wolves but Wolves are trying to get him to sign a new contact, he's been reluctant so far Evan as you mentioned they want the player, Kevin fell well knows the player and Evan are trying to get this deal done and he mightn't be someone Wolves are ready to put into the first team right now but it certainly feels like that if Evan could get him he would be someone who would not go straight into the first team but obviously Evan would be looking for him to get in as quickly as possible Yeah I mean I think he probably will go straight into the first team to be honest with you but again depending on how they set up it's still playing guess and we were guesswork with Alfrank Llympard once a start I mean we're all debating whether on or it's going to be three at the back, it seems like it might be like that but who knows and that would mean that he would, it just depends if they're going to play like a three four three then he would probably play off the right hand side and then it'd be one of Anthony Gordon would probably be off the other side and then you'd have Dominic Carver living through the middle, that's just right now, we know Evan have got an interest in Armando Brosie who's at Chelsea, if that come off he's someone who can play through the middle or can play off the left hand side as well and then that again gives Evan options but also throws up different formations as well but he is someone who is like I said before he is versatile cos he can cover a few positions he's off that age like you said he was just Sheffield United player coming through, people of B I think more enthused very good season as we've already seen last season Feir oedd y tail yn mynd i gymryd, dda'n du gennym yn y ff frontie.

Morning gives a right does fit into that and don't forget also having worked in the under-21s being in the under-21s is also work with Lee Carsley, and Ashley Cole, who's part of that he's part of the ever coaching set up as well so he's work with him in the close quarters. Well he's played them basically every level for England in the 16s, under 17s, under 18s. 10 times for the under 19s, 10 times for the under-21s. ac mae'n rhaid i'ch gael gael, ac mae'n meddwl ar y gael.

So he's got experience under his belt for a player of his age, 22. And as I said, what he did for Sheffield United last season, if he was a Sheffield United player, I think people would be looking at him thinking that's one that we should be going for. He's the new Michael Trong. Possibly so, you know, it's hard to match the achievements of him. But I remember when, like, Madison, was that like knowledge in players? I'm not saying he's the same player, but that kind of thing of like, you know, they've done well in the championship and then they've taken the next step. And obviously at the time we never went for Madison, because obviously we had another number ten at the time. So, you know, that one bypassed us. And we've seen a couple bypassed us in the last few years. But obviously, you know, in Moses' time, we'd always be looking for the best players coming off the championship. And as I said, he is a Premier play. He's not a championship player, but obviously he's done very well. Let's have a little look at his next numbers. So you'll have to explain this one. Obviously people can see it on screen, but basically the league average is the blueish colour in the middle there. That is the league average, and Morgan Gibbs White is the colour outside of that. So shows that he performs off that graph better than other players. This is, of course, in the championship last season, and it's shown. The average age in the championship 24 is 22, obviously. But it's like, things like his XG put him on the 86 percentile, which means that, you know, 14 is in like the top 14 percent there. Shot 82 percentile, and things like XG assisted 96 percentile, the top 4 percent. Passes into the box 98 percentile, top 2 percent. Pressures, you know, possessing just the pressure, things like that. So he scores really, really highly. And another thing there, the pressures in the OED opponent's half, he's on the 98 percentile. Again, the top 2 percent for ball pressure, which, you know, you can see all the values on the right hand side, that people won't have a look at that. And whereas the championship average is like 76 percent, so he is above a lot of those numbers. When you look at those numbers, if you were just literally talking money ball kind of thing, those numbers would stand out here and go, this fella does what we need him to do. Now, there will always be the question, and rightly so, people will share if the championship was not the Premier League. So, I get that, absolutely. You've got to say that. There's no question about it. There's a difference in quality, but this is a young lad who seems to be furthering his football education each year and getting better, and well, you'd hope he was last season was his best season. And Everton will be looking. You'd like to think they've sat down and gone, well, how do we want to play? Frank Lampard's done an interview, it's actually quite good. And Everton TV over in America talking about a robust, fast, mobile Everton team. That's what he wants to create. Those kind of numbers fit into that. We've just lost someone who presses an opponent's half is really high in the Champions League. This kid is up there as well in the championship. No, he'd have to replicate that in the Premier League, but you've got to replace what you've lost almost, and I'm not saying he would ever replace the Champions League, but he would replace some of the work that Charleson did in the final third when the opponents have got the ball. So those numbers give you a real kind of thing of where his talent's at. We've got another graphic as well, which we'll put on as well, which, again, just really highlights what we're talking about there anyway. It's all shooting, attacking, playing. All the numbers stand and I'll build up creativity, things like that. And what comes out when you look at all the numbers, what comes out is that he's got the aerial tools, he's got the creating goalscoring opportunities, he scores goals, crosses passing into the penalty area, things like that. And style is he's busy in general build up. It takes a lot of shots, busy inside the box. It plays a number of forward passes, makes a lot of progressive runs. All the stuff that, excuse me, all the stuff that when you're looking for plays, you want to tick those boxes. Now, the caveat to all of that is he's not been doing that in the Premier League because he's not really being in Wolff's team and they do have other options which they've thought of being ahead of him. It might be a managerial thing where managers have different players. I don't know, I don't know a situation at Wolff's. Obviously they've had new knowledge. Well, of course they had a new manager last season who didn't have them. So, you know, you've had a manager there who's preferred obviously other people and who hasn't had to have them under his tutelage. So it is an interesting one from that point of view. He just might not be ready in terms because they do have good plays in their midfield, but for us it might be ready to go in. And as you said there, it is things like the pressures where we need to have a far more robust midfield where it's not all about being having those defensive plays. It's having plays in the midfield who go hunting for the ball, impacts, know how to press. And, you know, you look at a lot of talented football teams, the best ones. You look at the plays and they don't necessarily strike you as defensive kind of players. I mean, the best team in the country, Manchester City, the people like Benadog Silver and people like that. You don't have them down. You don't have them down as being like as doing the defensive work, but you do because of the pressures. I'm not saying this is anywhere near that. I'm just saying that's the kind of play you're looking for in terms of like you mentioned it with Richie Alice and someone who helps stop the opposition from playing from the front or in the midfield. So if that's what they're looking for and he fits in with what they're trying to do, then obviously that'll be the kind of play they want and what they're going after them by the looks of it. Yeah, definitely. You know, obviously knows Andy Gordon from the 21s as well, Andy Gordon. Very interesting image of him. Morgan Gibbs writes on his Instagram story and then quickly deleted it. They probably got told to take a damn for now, but you know, all of that obviously helps. Like you said, he's got the link with Ashley Cole because he's worked with him before. And some players are ready to go to other clubs and sometimes you look at it and go, oh well, I would have preferred this player. But we're still guessing like we said before. We don't know the pity. We can't see the pity. The roles we can do is go by what Frank Llanpath is saying. Look at what we've lost. Does it replace some of what we've lost? Well, if he's capable of getting 12 goals in the championships, so if you knock like we've done before, say you knocked a third of the goals off. Eight goals. If he could get eight goals from a wide area in six, five, six assists, then at least we're putting some goals into that area of the team where we've lost some. Yes, others have to score as well. But he's got a young age. We're all talking about young hungry footballers, aren't we? Well, this kid probably fits all of those, you know, the dark right area as well. So there will be others. Of course, there will be people who come back with names going, why aren't we going after him? Why aren't we going after Ishmael Sarr? I've offered why aren't we going after Moose of the Abbey at Leave of Cures and why aren't we going after? You know, and the list will be there because people will have names of players. But we aren't everything now. We're not the recruitment team. We're never looking at everything, and you'd like to think they are. And if they think what we can get him in, and we can do it this way, then that's how you build a team, and you build something at building. You know, Frank Llanbach will get him in. He could get Armando Brose, you know. And then maybe another midfielder in as well. Then people will start to look and go, actually, you know, we've got Nathan Patterson, who looks like he might get it. Well, he's got the opportunity. He's got James Coleman's in here at the moment. All of a sudden, your age has dropped right down to younger players still. And we're going, OK, we're trying to create a team that you want to try to keep together. You tag onto that like people like Ben Goffrey, who were already in the team. You know, Michel Enco, Swath 22, 23. So all of a sudden, they've got a youthful look to them. And that's what we need, don't we? We've been too slow in a mobile for years, and we need more. I don't know how good Gibbs White Salem will be, because players can develop and get better and better and better, but he had a really good season last season. He's something we haven't got. I think he can do better. And also, after coming off the back of a good season, he'll be ready to kick on. He doesn't want to spend this season, sitting on the bench at Wolves. He wants to kick on. He showed what he could do last season. And that might be a big factor in his decision of wanting to leave Wolves. He might see, you know, we've seen it with players. We've had their opportunities blocked. We've had players in the last few years where they just want to kick on, you know, and fans think they're good for some reason that it doesn't work with the manager at the time. You know, the club says they want to keep them, but in the end they get the way and they get a move. So it's going to be interesting in the next few days to see what happens, whether Everton can force this one through and get it over the line and become Everton's second signing of the summer. We'll have to wait and see. Well, if you look and you've got, you've onto the centre back and you've got Tarkov skiing, you know, we now need someone who can play a couple of positions, but right off the right-hand side, you can add goals. He might be the fella to do that. They're still after another striker. They're still after another midfielder. You know, they can get on with doing them and trying to get them over the line. The more you add in, I think it'll make people feel a lot better. There's wealth that you are fresh in the squad. People will have reservations, I understand that. I'm not sati to tell on you he's going to be. He's going to solve all our issues because he ain't. But what we're getting, if we get him, we will be getting a young fella with a lot of proof. He's just had a great season in the Champions League. He'll come and do it in the Premier League and he'll make that step up. He's playing for a man. You know, we've got a young manager and the crowd, they were fantastic at the end of the season and he will have seen the images and speaking to Anthony Gordon, that makes an impression on people. I'd love to play for that set of supporters. So hopefully we'll keep that going and I think the fans will because they were magnificent at the end of the season. If we all do that and create something, we can build something. These are the kind of sign. Quite a lot of supporters when you see comments and you speak to them and they're like, why aren't we going after players in a championship or whatever? He's at Wolves, but he's just had a really good season in the championship and albeit it might be a bit more money than what you'd want, but that's the way it is. That's where we are. There you go.
