 Welcome to Toffy TV. There is a lot of talk at the moment of incoming, but the right back area is hoted up again, mainly from Marker, the Spanish news outlet. Now, whether or not you believe Marker or you don't, there's a lot of stories in the last day or so linking us again with Atletico, right back, Santiago, Arias. Arias. We were linked with him 12 months ago as well with him, and it looked like it may happen then, didn't happen, but linked with him again. AS as well, I think, it's another Spanish publication reporting the same thing as well now. So, obviously there's a massive amount of stuff on the PS feed, so obviously there's that link there, so it might just be lazy journalism, who knows. But he's obviously behind Cair and Trippie, he's near Atletico, and there's another man. So he's there to show. I guess he's available, international footballer. Good, good player. Yeah, yeah. I mean, what are you, what are you thought, just off the baff, first of all? You know, he's 28, I think. I'd be surprised if he was a parent there, you never know though. Obviously I haven't seen him working better financially. But I think, as a loan, it'd be a good sign, just for a year. I think we were this for right back, you know, we were always looking for a bridge loan in the sense that we're probably not going to spend money on a right back, there's some more significant money maybe. And then we'll look at it again next year when that becomes a more priority position, we're sent in the field and right wing much more priority positions this summer, maybe even back up left back in some people's minds. But now I think he'd be fine, like, you know, I've talked about Kenny Sesse, he's similar type, similar thing here, you know, experienced, solid. If you know, you're going to be playing, you know, maybe a person in front of him who's not great defensively, he's fine defensively, you know, show that athletes come and do it, they don't sign bad defenders. You know, been well coached by Diego Simeone. And he gets forward well as well, to create chances, go across to the ball. He's aggressive as well. Ffans are like that about him as well. Is there a concern for you that, again, it's another player who's over 27, it seems to be a little, if what's being reported is accurate, then seems to be a little bit of a change in the direction of what? Maybe, yeah, maybe they've looked at the culture, maybe they've looked at the maturity of the squad in the sense that they don't see people who, sometimes, you know, I don't believe that age relates to myself, but everyone sees things differently. Maybe, actually, he's looked at, I need a bit more experience. People in the trenches, he's confidence, doesn't drop out if they have a bad game. And obviously, people like Arias, he's played for athletics, he's come and driven Champions League games. You know, Hames Rodriguez, he's played at the top level. Alan, he's played for Napoli for years. And to Corey, obviously, he's been at Woff. But the three there, they've all played at the high level, they've all been consistent players in tough leagues and for good teams. So, yeah, I can understand the logic in it. Would I do that? No, but that doesn't matter. It's not my job. I understand, as I said, I've always talked about, you have to understand things rather than agree with them all the time. So, yeah, I think in terms of right back, it doesn't, if it's a loan, it doesn't really matter how old they are in the sense that I don't like to do loans without an option to buy. If he does well and you think the Coleman, it gives you options, you see, even if you have an option to buy, you don't have to take it up. It just gives us that option in the season. We'll pass a few of another season, maybe, and then we'll see where we go after that. You know, it gives you that length, that gives you that time, really, to look at the position. Because, you know, as someone who looks for players, the full-back position's quite shallow. You've got great players like Hickey and me, obviously, when it's into my line. Superb, but below that, and maybe in evidence price range, it's a bit more risky. So, I understand why you'd maybe go with a more, in theory, solid option in the areas. So, yeah, I think he's a better fit for everyone at the moment than Seamus Coleman. John Joe Kenny, you know, I've got me doubts about him at Premier League level in terms of his awareness of what's around him and his overall athleticism. So, yeah, the areas wouldn't be a bad sign at all. I mean, you've mentioned, you know, we'll look at the numbers for him yet. Oh, stats. It's some stats. Here we go. It's defensive jewels, 1%, it's 77%. Outrageously high, yeah. Again, we'll think about this, and we'll put some context on this place for athleticism in Madrid to play a lower block, good. However, you still need to know if he's positionally smart, be aware of, you know, COVID centre-backs when need be. So, yes, it does help playing for that team, but he has shown that he is a good defender. You're possession-adjusted in deception. So, that's still good, because obviously, athleticism in Madrid don't have a lot of the ball, but he's still on the sixth, which is where you want to be. He reads the game quite well as he is aggressive, so sometimes he can overrun things, but again, you take that, you're rough with the smooth. It's progressive passes, pay 90, 10.2. Yeah, that's what you want. So, you can push the ball through the lines, move the ball at the pitch. We're going to be a team that likes to transition fast because of the forwards, so that's good there. Excellent. It's progressive runs, pay 90, 0.93. Different type of... So, athleticism in Madrid aren't really, you know, the most attacking of the side, so that will affect his numbers. You know, you see Seamus Coleman's numbers in it, wherever, and 10s sometimes to face teams who sit deep. So, I wouldn't be too worried about that. It's near one, which isn't the issue. He's not a flyer, you know, he's not that type of... Trent Aaron and Alexander is pretty much the same as that table. Alexander-Arnold, I would say that, yeah. Chancers create a pay 90, just over 1.08. Great, yeah. You know, at the end of the day, if you're getting a right back, who creates 30, 40 chances a season from there, that's really good numbers for that position. You know, some wingers don't even manage that. So, yeah, you know that. He didn't play a lot of minutes last season, just over a thousand. Obviously, just kid and trippy has gone in there and done well. But even so, when he was called upon, he was good, yeah. What I've seen of him in bits and pieces from last season as well, he does support the attack really well. He makes some really good runs, decent balls into the box as well. It's the way it is for him, yeah. And energy as well, energy and work life. I think you look at Coleman now. I think Coleman will play certain games where we are asking for someone to tuck in as that third centre back when we're in possession. But he can't do it, we're going for it. We'll see his numbers and terms of when he actually gets to the final third of the greatest. And that's really where we need the extra benefit. I thought, obviously, that he did bring that. Unfortunately, his sense of lapses and his positioning left a lot to be desired in the front. Let's have a look at Sheamus then, you just spoke about him there. So these are Sheamus' numbers from last season. Defensive duels won 64%. That's good for the Premier League, yeah. Right way about where you want it to be. Possession is just again similar to Adidas, that's fine. Progressive pass is less. Sheamus is not the best pass of the ball, we all know that. Progressive runs 1.81, always been a strength of his. Run on straight lines, still good. Still pushes the pace, obviously brings it up the pitch. So that's not a problem. It's then when you get to this. Chance of creators. No.21. No.21. I think it was six all of last season. We need more than that. And he gets in some really great positions. We can still get, you know, not every game, but you can still get, you know, penetrate the area with his dribble and get inside that he can't find the man. Can't get across, can't beat the first man. And that's why Sheamus Coleman is on the decline. You know, some players don't decline to leave it on he is now, but he just can't do it when he's in the box anymore. He was never one of the best creators in the Premier League, but he could always cause problems for teams and score a couple of goals a season. He's not that type of player anymore. So we need someone who can add the bits that he has and I think that is a big start to that, yeah. I think what I've noticed with Coleman, particularly this season, oh sorry, last season, was that he did get better defensively, I think, in the past he's really... We've kind of said things like he's not the greatest defender, he offers a lot going the other way. Now I think he's realised that he's got a bit older, which is what a lot of players do. He's tailored again, and he's become a better defender, and you're right, we're losing no point to one from a position where one of the area of his game, he was really strong, was creating opportunities. On the whole, really, as a team, he needs to create more. I've always said full back, you know, he's sent him a field, wingers, they all need to create more. You know, obviously he'll look at things, creates a lot, but apart from them, but Charleston's done a lot better last season, apart from them, to really need other positions, left wing, Alex Orwell, Anthony Gordon, whoever the new right winger may be, maybe in the same Colombian, maybe match it with his international team mate. Whoever it may be, you need to chip in with more creativity, because you've got two lads up front who can put the ball in the back of the net, you've given the chances, and you looked at them, they didn't overperform massively in terms of the XG, which means that they basically took the chances that he did the right... Yes, exactly, and really we need to create more chances for them. If it was Arias coming in, would he be more comfortable in a 4-3-3? Well, not more comfortable, but would he be as equally comfortable in a 4-3-3? You can be comfortable in both. He plays 4-4-2 for... That's good for us. There's that system match that you want when you profile on players, and then when you play for PSV, they play 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, so I think he is a flexible player in that sense. Playing under Simeoni will certainly help him in terms of transition to an evidence side. We're not going to be as defensive, but there are games where Michelotti will ask them to sit a little bit deeper against teams. Catherine, I'm not sure if you will, and play that way so that he can play either way, which is good for us, the flexibility that we've left in certain positions. Shall we be a viable option for you? I think he was a viable option last year. I would have preferred to Sidiabi of Amonist last year, but I wouldn't like to see him sign another player on a three-year contract, because I don't want four or five players over a certain age, because it makes the squad harder to turn over, especially under FFP. If there was no FFP, bombs away, don't you like? But it's not. They're the restrictions that we have. So it wouldn't be a bad option. It would be an upgrade on Coleman for a year at least. Maybe two, if we did any more business. But yeah, that wouldn't be a bad deal at all. I think the thing is, well, just before we finish, with the turn over of plays, and I know a lot of people are being highlighted, rather us do a proper video on all of that. We'll do a proper video on all of that. But just the strapline from it is that we've got to be able to become self-sufficient. We can't keep going to the wealth, to the sherry as well. No, you can't. And now, listen, it's great and all that. It's a great sound place, but we surely want to get to a position where we can self-sustain through players. Even when we stem money under the sherry, we've always sold players. John Stones, Romain Lucachio, Ross Barwick, Anna Gaye last year. We've sold players throughout, and it does make it easier under those rules to spend money and continue to do so. Not by having players to sell makes it more difficult. And I know people are saying we need equality and experience. Yes, we definitely need equality 100%. And yes, you need a smarter experience. Fabian Delf probably hasn't worked out, but at the end of the day, you don't want to spend too much money on older players because it does leave you with the inflexibility. However, one or two, I suppose, I can understand Carlo's logic from it. I say, I wouldn't do it, but that's not my job. I think I understand from his position that he needs to have people he can rely on to set standards and people who've played at a higher level, which is totally understandable from his point of view. There you go. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. Is Arius a viable option for you or would you like to see everything go for a younger fullback? Or are you and Evertonian, I think John Joe Kenny, should be given the opportunity this season after his successful loan at Schelker? Let us know in the comments section below.
