 Welcome to Toffy TV, Everton have signed Amwar El-Ghazi on loan for the rest of the season from Aston Villa, bit of a strange one, bit of a left field this signing, what are your thoughts Bas? It's a strange one, it's a position on the pitch that we seem to be well stocked in, unless the man is just thinking he can use them in the number 10 role. I would say I'm glad it's a loan rather than a permanent deal, but it is a weird one, I can't sit in and say anything different and I won't sit in and say anything different. No, and ultimately that's why I suppose it is good, it's a loan, we don't have to try and pretend to be happy, because if we wouldn't be, I think if it was 15 million and a four year deal or something, we can sit here thinking well it's a loan, we can see what happens, it might help us, it might not help us. Your righties, he can play in different positions on the front line, left, right, central, I think the manager, I don't know if this is the manager signing, let's get that straight away, I don't know whether this is the manager signing, but you have to put that to one side, he's in the door now. I suppose the manager has been crying out for someone who can play in the number 10, he's persisted with this two midfield all season and he's wanted somebody, one of our players to be able to fill in that number 10 role and be that extra man in midfield. I need to be fairly, I think he's tonight's hands end, I think he's tonight's grey, obviously the charlotson is a bit more of a natural fit, but he's been in and out this season with injuries, so I think if you're looking from that point of view, it could be beneficial to have an extra player in there, I don't think, well I don't think I know I won't be isn't the answer to that position, so maybe, just maybe we can get benefit out of him that way. If it doesn't work, you can go back, if it does work, then you can still go back. It's not a case if it's a short term deal and we'll see what we get out of him, he's obviously a skillful player, but like a lot of skillful players, like the Maori grey, a lot of skillful players, he's not consistent or hasn't been consistent, whilst being in the Premier League and he's found it difficult to secure a place, I mean obviously when he was at Villalassie and he had some like greilish, he probably took up an area of the pitch that he would like to have played in. This season Villariff obviously got Catino in now, he had there one day before him, he's been injured a lot, so I mean it's a worry that this is a fella who couldn't really hold down a regular position in a team that last season finished below us, this season are in and around us, I know they've got big ambition and they've bought that way, but that's why it's a little bit strange but I suppose in football you're being positive, footballers do move round, some footballers shoot some clubs and don't fit others and I suppose this is a chance for him to play football, he ain't going to play a villa, it's an opportunity, at least I don't not think he's going to be a starter by any means and that's why again it's a little bit strange because I don't see him walking into our team, but what I would say is again with the injury record that we've had this year then yeah maybe it's not the worst thing in the world. Well we want a bigger squad, if you're trying to be positive about things and it's difficult, I accept the times, it's another option off the bench or it's another option in the squad, he can play different roles like you've said, he can go through the middle as a 10 or play off either flank, so the manager will use him as a mwyn I guess, it's up to him isn't it, get the opportunity to come in almost. Almost a fresh start if you like, you know work hard and see what's what, he's 27 in May so I don't see anything pursuing it after May, I think there'll be other options, younger options we'll be looking for probably better, but it's an opportunity for him to come in a place on 14 obviously there's a well cut, you know in Qatar he'll want to be involved for the Netherlands, he was in, the Netherlands provisionals squad for the Euros, so he's got it. He'll want to be involved in that kind of thing, play some footy, he may get himself a move in the summer somewhere else because he's been playing games, and you know Stephen Deyarad's gone on a filler and obviously doesn't share a role for him, made him available and that's all you can do isn't it, manager's move, we could have you know Rafa Benitez could be replaced by someone and they could come in and go you know someone who's been playing every week under Rafa Benitez doesn't play all of the sudden and that's what footy's like isn't it, it's not. I don't think the fans are going to be dancing in the streets with the sign but he's an extra body and you know we've got ten goals last season, I know we've got six penalties in there but he scored ten goals last season, he's got one goal this season so far. Well he scored a goal because he scored us in last season didn't he? He did off the winner yeah. So that was a very good goal so he's obviously got talent, as you said I'm not massively excited by it, I don't think it's particularly what we need as a city right now but when the window shuts I suppose we can have a bit more of a better outlook on it all to see who we got in and who we didn't get in. I don't know, I don't know what the gift is on the mouse at the end of the day, it's another body, I mean I'm still looking for more, I'm still looking for centre of the field or centre defender if possible. They are maybe more long term positions or they are more long term positions so we'll see what happens. Let's just have a little look at some of his numbers. So born in the Netherlands he's played 258 games, 55 goals, 35 assists and two caps for Holland. He's played for Leal, played for Ajax and obviously Aston Villa went there on loan initially and they made it a permanent move. He's played 116 times for Aston Villa, 25 goals, 16 assists, not terrible. And this season he's played nine times, started for one goal, one assist, no 0.9 shots per game ratio. So yeah, I mean as I said last season he got ten goals but six of them were penalties. I say he's got that general good ability that you see from that kind of player, it's about putting it all together, it's about finding that consistency, about playing games or football to be able to find that consistency. And I wonder whether that's maybe been his issue, is that if his general play is not, how well has his general play been that if he's not staying in the team to allow him to build that creativity, to allow him to get that consistency in his creativity. I suppose that must have been one of his big downfalls is that can he play games or football without doing anything major but being able to play the game. I think that's always an issue for players who play in that kind of position, how did he play genuinely without having a big moment or two in the game. So that'll be interesting to see whether he can, because if he's got other players who are ahead of him right now, which is the art of that as far as I'm concerned, then how does he attain opportunities into playing games or football? Training, do well in training, work hard, force your way in. Man, it might have an idea for it, but it might not. It might be a case, let's get this body in, let's work with him, see if he can get into short-term loan. Willer are apparently paying some of his wages as well. It's almost like a free shot isn't it, an extra player and it's up to him to contribute. If he can weigh in with a couple of goals and a couple of assists, then it might have been worth it. The one thing, people like a Wobie just doesn't score goals, simple as doesn't assist. Only lately we've seen Anthony Gordon start to put goals and assists into his game, so we need more of that. We've had injuries with the Charles and injuries with Don, they're still not fully fifth. Don's closer than British, obviously, but maybe he's just looking at it that way. Maybe he'll play ahead of Alan and the Corrie in that number 10 and drop in to a pocket and create space. We'll have to see how he goes, but he's come through the door. You get behind him now because you never play for the next four or five months and he knows he could have a good impact that gives us some impact. It feels very much like when Peter Beagle came alone from Bratford. Well, you say that. You say that. You could have a Jesse Lingard for a West Ham moment, you never know. You never ever know. You never know, you might just find a little bit of Terry Curran up to date Terry Curran. Isn't there Terry Curran here though? He hasn't, modern day Terry Curran. Modern day Terry Curran, I'd have it like that. Well, we'll leave it there. We just wish him good luck and hope that he can do the business forever. You know, could be the next Terry Curran, could be the next Josh King. We're waiting to see what happens. We can't predict the future and just give it... That plays before, haven't we? Philip Cendros. Oh, the classics. Now you just roll off the tongue. Eddie Bosner. Bramach, bramach. So for every Eddie Bosner, there was a bramach. Landon Donovan. Ibrahim Saib. That's what I'm saying. For every Landon Donovan there was an Ibrahim Saib. So you just never know? No, you never know. There you go. Let's know what you think in the comments, what you think about the silent. Is it positive or your negative about the silent? Does it not make sense? Are you scratching your head thinking what's going on? And where do you think we really do need to sign before the end of the month? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
