Let's kick it off with Joshua Zaxie, who has named that, has been bouncing around for the best part of three weeks now I think on and off, obviously it's got, it's kind of piqued the interest of Evertonians today because Paul Joyce, who a lot of people put a lot of faith in, has actually referenced it in an article he's done obviously for Britio Romano, another journalist that's been carrying the story for about 10 days now, but has come back with another update today, saying it's a straight fight between Everton and Parmer. Parmer are offering the player game time, Everton are offering a slightly different path for Zaxie, but Zaxie wants to join Everton over Parmer according to the journalists. Before we get into whether or not we think it'll happen or whatever, what is your initial feeling on Zaxie, what do you think of him as a player? So Zaxie, I think obviously Everton fans know him because he came on trial at a torn once a couple of years ago for us didn't he? He was a star when he was a fine old and then Bayern picked him up, obviously Everton tried as well, Bayern picked him up and he's been doing reasonably well for their new teams and for me, you know, watching him as a player, obviously since his name was dropped, watching a fair bit of him, he's got talent, I'll say he's got talent. I think Everton fans need to be careful with his expectation, I think there's certainly talent there, much like Moise Keane, there's a lot of rough edges that need to smooth them off and I think he's capable of scoring goals, he's got lovely technique, I think he can hold the play needs to improve, position needs to improve, tactical now, all the things the players learn as they develop really and I think that's the major issue with him but now he's got decent feet, 1v1 he can beat a player, he scores, he scores. He's got decent amount of goals for Bayern and obviously they create a lot of good shots, but now he's a nice player, I just think you've got to be careful with what the expectation is. Yeah I've watched a bit of him as well, I've done a little bit of research on him as well and he has got a good touch, you know, lovely little round of corner passes that he produces at times but you're right, his hold up play needs to be tighter but what I would say is physically, you know, 6 for 4 so you know he's got the physical attributes of it, he's not slow. You know, good turn of pace about him but yeah, you're right, there's obviously a lot of refining that would need to be done with him and he wouldn't be someone who would come in and the manager would have a flip of a coin, whether it's him or Dominic Alderley when it's not that kind of striker. It's maybe what Moise Keane should have been, but because of the money we paid for Moise Keane he was never viewed like that obviously he'd played a few games, well he'd done wealthy events, he's scored some goals and we paid a big fee 4 and 25 million whatever it was, 27 million. And that immediately creating expectation doesn't it, this is our main striker and so when he should have been given time to develop, you know, we wanted the same because of the outlay. Joshua Zakesy would be different to that because obviously the rumours of the transfer are alone with, I've seen two, one's alone and then review at the end of the season and the other one is alone with an obligation to buy. So it would give Everton, I guess, the opportunity to look at him, but without the pressure. Is that how you see it compared to the Moise, do you think it's the same kind of thing with Moise Keane but there'd be less kind of pressure on Zakesy? Yeah, I think from Everton's perspective I think we saw the Moise Keane transfer like that, I think Meena Rellwer obviously thought that Moise being a youth star at Juventus and obviously getting some good games at Juventus. I think he thought that he'd be coming in straight into the face here and obviously build himself up for his eventual move. It never happened that way, of course. I think Joshua Zakesy, as you say, is probably a six month trial to manage it, you know, to go fags, no wigs on the strikers, that's the eventual ones. You can all have a look at him and see if he's got some potential because if he has got the potential it's unbelievable to have, then 10 million would be a snip really, you know, in the long term. It creates an asset for Everton and he could potentially flip if he does well. As I say, it is more of a trial, you know, sort of thing. I think you'll probably make the bench, don't be wrong, because if you do get rid of a chin-touch or someone, then we'll need that extra striker on the bench, but as I say, it's not someone who's going to come in and impact games off the bench. It's a completely different type of deal and that type of deal it is, but yeah, I think in terms of Zakesy, I think it's a good opportunity for me to pick up a talented player at a lower price maybe. It just depends on how it works out. There's some basic information going to go up on the screen now about Zakesy. So there you go, he's 19 years of age, 6 for 4, like we've said, he's a forward and he's played 16 times and scored 4 goals for Bayern Munich in the first team and now obviously he's played in Bundesliga 2 and he's played in the U team, scored goals at that level as well. But like you said, he's a talented player, but you're right, he is more of someone who we would have to work on. I think obviously if he did come in and touch someone out, he would be the back-up striker, I guess, to Dominic Alvedlun, if that's how you want to look at it, and certainly his physicality would mean that the manager would probably have him on the bench, definitely, you know, and to bring him on in certain games or whatever. But it is one of those that I guess Everton should be picking up if he can, because it does represent the opportunity, even if it is just literally to double your money on him in a year or whatever, you know, smooth down his edges and make money back on him. The flip side to that is if he does really well, you've got, like you said, you've got a bargain on your hands and the quoting, 10 million euros, which is about 8 million quid. So, you know, that would represent a decent bit of business, wouldn't it? Yeah, you don't have to talk about this before. You don't want to buy a special striker to be a back-up, because let's be honest, you never need to be careful on how to allocate the wages, because you want your best players in the best money rather than 100 grand sitting on the bench playing every five or six games, because Dominic Alvedlun is doing well. So having a back-up striker with a potential like Zagsy, you know, obviously we've got with Charleston, we've got a place centre forward, so there's not, you know, an immediate need for him to play if Dominic is going to get the wages from Charleston. You can play, and obviously the massinations, we move everyone round, maybe, you know, we will be, we've got options there anyway to play wide. So, yeah, it represents a good option. I think I've talked about this before, Marcell, but this is something that we should probably look to do more often. You know, there's so many, so many places in these, you know, what we call the elite teams, and good players slip through the cracks because they just can't get games and they want to move and it's up to evidence to find those and bring them to the club because we could be the ones that benefit from it. Really an eight million outlaying, you know, in the current market, at the end of it, more than really be a bad investment. I think we've seen before with Luchman and Vlastage who never waved out an evidence. They were easy to flip in the long run because they were younger, and they still had that potential tag on them. So, yeah, I think it's a win-win from that point. I just think the expectations of the fans need to be turned slightly. Definitely. I think we're all looking for that because we're where evidence are in the Premier League at the moment. We're all looking for that little bit of boost for the second half of the season. And there's not to say, this isn't to say that's it. He couldn't come in and maybe get four or five goals because he just might be that player in the right place at the right time that gets us an important goal. So, we're not saying he wouldn't produce it if he'd come in. I mean, what we're saying is it would be one where it's a little bit of a flip of a coin really as to whether he'll make the impact or he won't. But, you know, if everything were to trade out Moise Keane, you know, sell Moise Keane for a big amount of money, and we got to say, not to replace Moise Keane, but as an understudy striker, then that would be sensible because we'd still have a young, you know, physically ready centre forward who's learning his trade, you know, in the club. So Moise Keane, go on out. We'd still have that as a backup. But do you think just finally on this bit, then, do you think that if we did get to Xeon, it might be more of an idea for Everton or they may be thinking like this to get to concentrate then on a wide player as well? Because the Charleston can play through the middle, if they were to get to Xeon, say, then Everton's attention could really go to maybe another player who can play off the right or off the left. You know what I'm going to say, obviously Mr Bailey, who I'd love. But Raphael Lau, who's someone we rate me and you really, like you've done quite a bit on the channel over the last couple of years, he's one who's been touted the 26 million Milan, apparently ready to deal a 26 million, I don't know how accurate that is, but he's one who could play right away across the front three as well, isn't he? So a guess that would enable Everton to still have a Dominic Halvitt-Lewman type profile there in Zerchie, but able to have another attacker who can play and who's a bit more versatile, say? Yeah, I think that should be the plan. I think that Everton need that face-atility in the squad. We've talked over it before. I don't want to sign too many specials because when you have to look to the bench for options, there's only so many finite things you can do. With Leo, Leo can play centre forward, obviously left, right. You know, I've said before, I've raised him at the time. I thought he was more ready than Moschee was at the time. But at the thing with Leo, I think a left wing, it might be the order of the day. Obviously, a lot depends on Alex and what he does till the end of the season. Now, if he can maintain the level he showed recently, then he may be the backup to hammer centre in next season, which is good. And then you find someone who can play left while the Charleston plays centre, or if he can play righty in another formation. Then obviously, Everton in a much better position there, and then the manager then can have options to each different game, depending on the opponent, which is what you want to do really at the end of the day, isn't it? I think, finally, on Everton 4, we've just moved on to another couple of other transfers. Everton will be looking to off-load Bernard, whether it happens in the next five days or whether it's in the summer months. And they're going to have to replace that, aren't they? Because, you know, I don't think Anthony Gordon at this moment in time is ready to be back on a regular basis. So Everton would have to look for that anyway, and someone who can, like a law or a baili, who can play either side, that would then free up those, even with a woby, because ideally, we want a woby to continue to improve anyway. So ideally then, it takes the pressure off hammers as well, wouldn't it? Because he wouldn't have to necessarily play every game, and you'd be able to fresh in that front three up quite regularly. And that's what the teams who get into the Champions League and do well, or Europa League, and go deep in the Cups, that's what they do well, don't they? They've got that fluidity in the front positions to be able to mix it up? Exactly, you've got the space, you've got Bail, Beguine, Mora, they've got different players in the government, you've got Man United, Swabrail, Kevani, Rashford, Marshall, Greenwood. So we need those sort of options, and obviously all them can play across the front as well. So yeah, it's really imperative that Everton get a fluid squad where they can move things about rather than signers, a backup striker like Fernando Llorenti, whilst it's hot and we've played every thousandth game forward and it was taking a big wage. Everton needs to be smart, we just need to be a smart club and I think that's the best way to go. Definitely. A couple of transfers just generally bouncing around, obviously I think we've been talking off camera before, it's very quiet isn't it, there's not much sloshing around in terms of money. In January it's tended over the last few years anyway and the spendings got less. I know Bruno Fernandez went for 70 million and I know Virgil van Dijk a couple of years ago went for the same, but in general the spendings January has come down a lot. But particularly what we're in the middle of now with obviously with Covid and everything, it was always going to be a quiet month anyway, clubs posting big losses all over the gaff. But a couple of things that are hanging around are obviously Martin Aldegard, he was a player who was linked with Everton the other day as a potential loan destination on Leicester City, he's joined Arsenal. Good player, good attacking player, I guess the only thing for him is can he cope with the physicality of the Premier League in a short period of time. The talks that Rayon had did one and back in the summer he's not, there's no plans to let him go and it's literally just to give him some game time and experience. So he's a nice player isn't he Aldegard? Yeah it really creates a footballer vision passing, obviously creates a great space for himself in chipping the goals, I think Arsenal really needed that sort of player. I think it's done me wrong, I love Emile Smith, I think he's a fantastic young player. I suppose it just adds to their options now, particularly fan of Arsenal. The last one was alright, it's the fella in charge but yeah, go on. But for them they were going to buy one in the summer anyway so to bridge that gap between the summer without having to rely on a 20-year-old, it's smart business really. Aldegard's probably going to have to have a look in the summer because they've signed a lot of young players that just don't seem to break through, obviously Yovic has come back to Eintracht Frankfurt. Zeddan seems reluctant to blood these young players a lot so I think you may see players leaving much in the summer and reportedly they might need to sell a couple so Aldegard might be available in the summer for some so it's a good audition for him in the Premier League. Definitely, unless Zeddan leaves in the summer which may happen as well. Another one, Jesse Lingard, a lot of Evertonians just coward them when I said that. Looks as though Westam are very interested in him, seems like a Westam signing to me but Westam are interested in West Brommer trying to get him as well on loan. A good loan signing for those two clubs he's to eat. Look like he was going to be decent for United without being amazing but over the last 12 months he's just disappeared into nothing hasn't he? The issue with Jesse Lingard is his social media presence, a lot of people think that's all he cares about in his fashion line and I think maybe he lost sight of it, I'm not going to make assumptions about the player. I know that Sheffield United have also thought about bringing him in to sort of boost their confidence before they go down and get a couple of results so they don't go down on the back of loads of losses. Moises took those players on before on Tether and Pinar, had tough times in the previous clubs and re-energised them. I think Lingard knows the Premier League, I think the summer before the World Cups, the season before sorry, 17-18 had a pretty good season for Man United. I think if he can get back to those levels then he'd be interested in Montfamoy's. It's a risk though as I say, I suppose he has a reputation for being unserious in the dressing room. If Moises thinks he can handle it, I think then they'll take it on. It's a risky one but it might work out if he gets back to that level. Definitely, Deli Alley looks like he's staying at Spare's. Marino said he doesn't expect him to go, which doesn't really surprise. Now he's linked to that but he's only really going to be PSG, wasn't it, pot of tea. You know whether he'd take his chance but it looks like he's not going anyway. So everything else is really quite quiet. Wolves are still waiting for William Hosey's work permit. I think he'd be a good sign and for them they haven't got a target man. I know it's hit and miss whether or not he'll settle in the Premier League but they're lacking on the upfront because they've obviously ralled him and this is injury. So it's going to be interesting for you to see whether anything actually happens. Now on this show we've been asking you to get in touch with us using the hashtag fanline as part of the Snickers Protein sponsorship. We've been asking you to get in touch with your comments over the old using the hashtag fanline and a few of you have so it's over to Ned. We've had a tweet from at dunk39. He says, Given the fact that Cardi is back and Pochettino was notorious for high expectations regarding dedication and discipline, has Keane reached his peak value for a sale? If he falls out of the picture and his value plummets, do we keep him as a backup? I mean that's a very interesting one isn't it? We've spoke, me and Pead have certainly spoke about the Moise Keane situation and trying to sell him at the height of his powers. Pochettino's in there and the Cardi's back. Moise Keane hasn't had as many minutes the last couple of games. But unless PSG put the silver briefcase on the table with the money in it, there's not really much we can do at the moment is there? No, we can't. I spoke about this from Moise Keane. There's not really much we can do in terms of value. There's not a lot of team suspending in this window, so we can do this for real. If you have a type of powers, I'm going to spend 35, 40 million, whatever that is at one forum in this window. It all depends on Moise Keane. I think he'll have suitors in the summer when he's shown that he's at a certain level. So it's just up to everyone to find the right deal and suitors. I doubt he stays during this week because he's up on the main sale of the last summer. We probably need one or two players out just to start bringing players in. Yeah, definitely. I think we all want them to have a really good second half of the season. So that we get a couple of others, you've got someone else interested and then look for what deal we can get the best. Because I don't think he'll want to come back to Everton without being guaranteed to play games. And I don't think Everton will want to guarantee him that thing because obviously we've got them. So it's going to be interesting. Yeah, Ned, next. Attoffi underscore D says, is there a player 30 plus in the Premier League that won't mind bench warming, but be good enough quality to squad rotate when needed with DCL till the end of the season? Andy. You think about it if it's for a load. I can only really think I like Joshua King and they wouldn't loan him to us because his contract's up in the summer. And he wants big money. I can't really think of anyone in the Premier League who's sat on someone's bench not playing, can you? Who would help us? I also, you don't want to make a sign for the sake of the sign. I know people are at the end of the territory in Towsonbuff in the days. He's an international, he's experienced, he's scored a couple of goals in this league. He's not the worst option, there's much worse options around. And he's got the assets we've got to pay for him in any way. So, yeah, I wouldn't just go out and get a player for the sake of it. That would be my place anyway. I can't see any anyway. That would really make that much of a difference to, like you say, a better than Towson, I guess, at the moment. Probably is in Wales football, but it's whether Evan would want to make that decision right now. I've seen people call him for Ed and Jaco, but I don't have the big money and all. Go on, Ned. At Satoshi Corners says, if Towson and Kenny are sold in this window, should we put that money towards a move for Danny Ings in the summit? He's stolen a contract there. Andy, go on. Okay, people are usually feel about things and they're prepared to be going to cry on and say this. I think Danny Ings is a great player. I just think for Evan, and how much Danny Ings wants in the lengthy contract he wants, but his injury is just going to get a massive risk. It'll be wrong in the short term, it could wake up. Is he going to play every game for Evan? Maybe, I don't know. I think he suits the system. I think he'd be quite foolish to be passing the whole system. I think he's going to make his name. He's been getting chances there. I wouldn't go for Danny Ings. You know what people would do because he's got a proven goal scorer on their couple. Then he's worried me badly. Yeah, it's 28. He's had two really bad injuries. He's obviously a good player. There's no question about it and also the net is, but Evan would have to play 4-4-2 with him because you wouldn't choose Danny Ings over Dominic. Well, I wouldn't choose Danny Ings over Dominic all the living to lead the line for Evan. You know, as a one, definitely no. If Evan played 4-4-2 and you had Richard Charles in one side and you got someone else on the other who was equally hardworking, maybe, but I think I want one that can go right away across the front line. Because obviously that's Evan at the strongest playing that way, it seems. No, he's a good player, there's no question about it. Certainly, if we manage to sell toxin on Bernard and put that money towards summer planning really, isn't it? That seems the most sensible thing now, doesn't it? Because we've seen what the manager's done with this team, Andy, with 3 or 4 new signings. You think imagine 3 or 4 new ones again this summer who it is players or certainly players who are better than what we've got. It means that next season could be exciting as well, couldn't that Evan could be pushing for those top places again next season? Yeah, you're getting 4 or 5 players in the summer. I'm on a stronger squad there with multiple options in case of injury. So, yeah, I think that would be much, you know, you're getting this situation now where you can be much more consistent and you're not, you know, living in Zion by who's injured and who's not injured and I think that's where it needs to be. And I think that's the plan. I think this season's made the Europa League next season and has pushed on for the Champions League and four good signs will do that for you. I think it's got big thanks to Andy for joining me today. Don't forget to check out the Snickers Pro team deadline day on Ball Street on their YouTube channel. Four hours of live action there.
