 Welcome to Toffy TV. We're nearly there. We're nearly there. Nearly there. Wherever that is, we're nearly there. Abdalaid D'Corey. Fi has been agreed. Man is on Maisie side. On an unnamed hotel. I don't think it's in a hotel at the moment. Not as we record. Probably got all kinds of little things on his chest and that. So it looks like around 20 million. Rising to 25 million. If it goes well. If it goes well. You just want all these to rise, don't you? Wherever we sign, just rise, no matter what. So yeah, could be the... could be another big one for Everton. Yeah, definitely. That's the first story for two years, really, isn't it? I mean, Marko Silver, the first season, we got him. Everton inquired about him, but it was still very, very raw at that time. Very unfriendly between Everton and Wafford at that time. So there was really no chance of us getting him that summer. But last summer Everton had two goals, didn't he? And I think a deal could have been done last summer, but Wafford wanted... I think Everton offered 37, 38 million. And Wafford were looking for 45. It just wasn't going to happen. And also, the timescale of the second bid. I think the second bid was like three days before a window. It wouldn't have given them any time. So it didn't happen then either. And then it went quiet, didn't it, obviously? You know, but it's reignited. Do you think that, you know, there's a lot of talk about, obviously, massive brands and what he does and how managers maybe, you know, sometimes get what they want? But do you think that this shows that? Last season, Silver obviously probably wanted him now in the player. So massive brands does a little bit of digging into the player, finds out about him and then it's like, well, actually, this will leave this further on the list because I've had a little luck because the other manager told me to have a little luck. And now with the new manager, the perimeters are still very much in keeping with the player and therefore we will go for him because, obviously, that's something that's an easy link to Wafford player, ex-Wafford manager. You know, you can put it all together, but now, obviously, with Anciolotti, it's slightly different. But that's what it feels like to me anyway. I think, obviously, I haven't had that interest. It's an easiest sell to myself brands. I think it wouldn't surprise me if this has come from Duncan Ferguson and Carlo Anciolotti as well, this type of player, because the first thing, and I think that case, then, when you then take that to Marcel Brand as well, it's an easier sell, isn't it? It's for him to then go, well, actually, we have tried to get this player for the last couple of seasons. Anciolotti, we've said that before, a month into his reign, spoke about needing energy and physicality in the midfield. This is a player who, when we've come up against them, Wafford has been very, very difficult to play against. He's just saying to you before we started the video, the last three seasons, he's got seven goals from a field five, I think he's got 17 in 129 games from Wafford, from a centre midfield. Everton don't have anybody in that midfield who scores goals. This is a centre midfield player that does get goals. I think it will have helped with the fact that Everton will have done some work with him to try and get him in. But he does fit into what the manager wants as well, and obviously... That's the thing, isn't it? It's positive that the manager has been very proactive. You know, as we sit here now, literally as we sit here now, we're awaiting the announcement of a couple of assignments. The fact that they're all stacking up in one go a week before the season starts in a very short window, I think that's testament to what the manager wants and what Marcel Brands is trying to do and what the club is trying to get the manager as well. And really, if these are the three that were top of the list for midfield, we know we have the Gabriel situation, and the Huyberg situation. But if these were the three, and who's to say that Huyberg... I don't know, it might have been Huyberg instead of the core. I don't know. But that's not a bad start. It's not a bad... You've appointed a manager, you've brought him in, you said money wouldn't be an issue. Things have changed and it's very, very difficult. Things are changing all the time. Literally reading as we speak now that the Chinese TV broadcast is pulling the money out of the Premier League and that's £700 million out the window. Five to 700 million, whichever, whatever you read. For the Premier League. The sands are shifting all the time at the moment. It's a very unstable time. For evidence to go out and just get the deal. And get the deals that are... Like you've mentioned before, you look at this deal and you look at where it was talked about last summer. You looked where it was talked about two, three weeks ago. £35 million. I've managed to bring that down. It's fine with Alan. Things like that, the deals that have come down. I think they're all working together. I think Carlo, I think obviously the board, you know, with Sherry, with Kenny, with Brands or whatever. You've all worked together to get these three in. As far as we're away, no-one's been sold. We couldn't do any deals before people were sold and there'd be loans and evidence said we thought they'd do it just go and spend the money. Now, can we get it in on the back end? But I think where we are with Decora is a Premier League proven player. He's been here for four seasons. Like you said, to go goals. We know he can get around a pitch. He's always a handful to play against. He's exactly what I'm needing. The biggest thing that I've sucked from all of this is with Anciolotti so far is that they've addressed what we've seen as fans. And that isn't always the cases I'm managing. The managers will see things differently than fans, of course they will. But me, just on a pace, on a level, I've sat here for months now going, we need to centre in the field plays, we need to centre in the field plays. And they've gone on and addressed it. You know, want to get some money, like Decora. I get them. The deal was agreed yesterday. Travelled up to Maisie Shard last night. Stayed over, he's having medical today. You know, it's moved very quickly. Like you said, things are shifting all the time. So it's really good to get these things. That's clearly the genre of the bit, isn't it? I mean, it's a massive opportunity. A few other clubs are after them wolves and I'll follow them and try to look for them. But he obviously wants to weigh again the pull of the manager. Hopefully a little bit of pull of the club though as well. You know, because you talk about those clubs today and you're like, OK. Monachaw, they're not a big club. I don't care what anyone says. They're getting the Champions League now and again, but they're not a big club. It's a lovely place to live. Tax haven and all that. But following the wolves, I'm sorry. Wolves have had a couple of great seasons but they're not evident. And you get the chance to play for a really big club. That's trying to go places. I know we say that probably every summer when we sign players, but we are trying to go players. Do you think just before, I mean, do you like him as a player? You asked me a couple of weeks ago, I wanted out of all these and I said him because the simple fact is he's proven Premier League talent and that's exactly what we need now. Because you've got, you've got, you know, Alan coming in and he might take time to bed in. You've got Gabbaman, who is obviously injured and we don't want to put any pressure on him and he could be a really good asset. He could end up being a centre-back for all we know because of the flexibility of the player. But I get the feeling that Calhons likes what he sees from Gabbaman. But you bring a player like this in, I think straight away he's a player who goes in on day one and he'll do a job and he understands he's gone, he's gone from one Premier League club but he's gone down with Wafford, but it's not to be on all end of going down. We've seen very recently a player win the league and the Champions League went down, you know what I mean. So no one can say anything on that front. But I think for me he goes in and does a job and that allows, I think other players then, I think Hans Ray Gomez can go up a level by playing next to a player like that. They've got to for a start. But I think by having a player with the characteristics that he does as a player, I think that takes the pressure off some of the other players. I think you're right. I mean obviously anyone who watches this knows I've banged on about Sangari for well over a year but if we would have got, I still think we should have banged on by the way, 8 million quid. But I think if we'd have got Sangari and Alan and they were going to try and be our midfield parent, there's a few question marks just because neither of them are playing the Premier League and you're having to bet in this fella is a case. I think the more we get of people who you can go off the worry about you coming in, you're going to do your job and then you're integrate with players you are because we're going to obviously have Mr Rodriguez and Alan, I've got to get up to the speed of how quick the Premier League is and everything. Having someone who's as big and influential as him who knows the Premier League already, it's nothing new too. You've just got to go in and perform. It takes the pressure off everybody and like you say, if we can, what he gives you is flexibility to play three in the field and then have Gomez in there and then that takes the weight off Gomez then maybe Gomez can get back to what we know and say Gomez can do well but like I've just said, if he doesn't. The other thing as well, one more thing to say is I know Dilffy Sigarton is a device of vigor and a lot of people will be happy to see him leave the club but the thing about it is with other people who can get around the pitch as well if he doesn't go anywhere, Sigarton it almost means you could get maybe a little bit of a tune out of him occasionally as well so I think he's someone I think who improves. You understand the position as well? Yeah. Well he's played in the 4-4-2 at Waffodora 4-3-3 so. I think that's a big thing as well, understanding that role as well so. There you go hopefully next 24 hours which is said quite a lot. It'll get over the line and it'll be done. Well I think to be honest I think what we're in is the club of hope when he may play some part on Saturday against Preston so I mean I know it's not like the Premier League you've got to be signed by a certain time but Everton will be open, that is medical sand and he can do a bit of training so on and I've always been training with Waffod so it'd be nice to see him in an Everton's sheet at the weekend wouldn't it so fingers crossed that'll happen. That'll be it, there you go so we're hopefully we'll get three announcements in the next 24-48 hours before that final pre-season game on Saturday at home to Preston where you can watch it obviously via Everton's stream on the website so it'd be lovely if we could have those three plays involved so there you go let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one are you excited, excited to buy the three sand and let us know, give this video a like subscribe if you haven't already and if you want to join us on Patreon we'll be having a chat about this later on Patreon on our live show with the viewers if you want to do that the link is in the description as well for that see you later
