 Welcome to Toffy TV, this is the transfer show powered by Snickers Protein. We're helping to get fans excited about football during the transfer window. Is it started yet? We've got a couple of weeks to go to that transfer date. Normally that big exciting transfer deadline day we have in January, which maybe hasn't been exciting in the last few years. Are things starting to move? What's starting to happen? No-one's really going anywhere, are they? Really? None of the big clubs are doing anything. I mean it's supposed that the biggest thing going on at the moment is seems to be from Arsenal, coming onto Arsenal. They seem to be trying to move players out and get people off the wage bill. Obviously the biggest one of those is Mezzan Thaisle, who has gone to Fenerbahce in Turkey. But he's actually in isolation at the moment, he's got a quarantine rather at the moment. And he's been kind of hanging over, Arthetta. For the last few months because obviously Michael Arthetta didn't include him in the 25 man squad. And we know that or it's been reported he's on 350 grand a week at Arsenal or was and wasn't getting used so obviously every game that Arsenal was losing he was the player that fans were bringing out and pundits were saying they can't score goals, why haven't they got Arsenal, why haven't they used Arsenal. But he's gone off now too, he's left the club and gone off to Turkey. Which is a big thing I think because I think sometimes you have a player like him hanging around who fans and people at the club I guess who maybe might disagree with Arthetta's decision behind the scenes. But there's always someone you can look to and go well if you've had a hazel we've done this show, we've done that. He's an easy stick to beat you with so I think. From Arthetta and it's there and there isn't it, the football director there from their perspective to get him out the club I think will be seeing his good business for them and obviously to cut that from Arsenal's wage bill. Yeah, someone else has left as well haven't he? Rathas, Papa Stop of Thopoulos, he's had his contract cancelled or terminated by Arsenal as well. It's interesting isn't it because whether people like me, Arthetta or not he's trying to create his own team there, they've been playing with a lot of young players less emphasis on the more experienced players, Arthetta is trying to create something whether Arsenal fans or people on the outside think that's a good thing. For him, that's what being a manager is all about isn't it? It's laying down the law from the start and he seems to be doing that and obviously they've had a good run of form recently. So it's going to be interesting to see now that you've got that distraction out of the club as well because that's what Arsenal was wasn't it? It was a big distraction. He was someone when Arsenal were getting beat to hit Arthetta with and you've got a player there who's a quality player and players only get better when they're not playing as well. Without a shadow, without a sheet everywhere don't you? When they're not playing they become the player that you need and it doesn't always work like that. Socrates has said that I gave everything for Arsenal and Arsenal also gave me a lot. I wish you all the best health and success always that's what he's tweeted today as he's left the club. So another one he's come for him for us here at Dortmund as well. So they are trying to get the house in order. More players off the wage bill means the club's in better health. They are a club that got a loan of £150 million off the government a couple of weeks ago as well so obviously failing and we knew they were going to fail the pinch financially and this is a club that said you didn't have any money to spend in the summer and then did. You've got to try to balance the books that way and you're right, Arthetta is trying to put his own stamp on things at Arsenal and whether people agree with it or don't or like him or don't you've got to admire the fact that he's trying to and Edw is well at trying to take control of that. And they've just brought in a new director of football as well haven't he from the Premier League so they're obviously just trying to change the clubs of the way they want it to go so getting plays out the doors of big things. Trying to get the structure edw, he's the sporting director he's very old the director of football wherever you look at it and he brought someone else in to help with that as well so trying to get it the way they want it and then there's no excuses then is that for the manager to be getting what he's asked for and it doesn't work out at all on him and no one else can be blamed for that. The pressure is on Arthetta there's no question about it at Arsenal. They've been improved massively of late but they've had their own really favourable fixes and they've done well to win so if they continue to improve and they will be in the fight for the other league place because they've got Obama angle and you've got in you always give you the chance but if they weren't and they dropped away I think Michael Arthetta would be in real trouble so he knows he's got to get everything pointing in the right direction everyone pulling the same way and then the club can move forward but they're the ones who are openly active of trying to do something whether they bring anyone in is a different thing Arsenal fans still talking about maybe another midfielder coming in but you know they brought Thomas Party in for a lot of money in the summer transfer window and he's been struggling with injury so they need to get the injured players back as well. So that's there the club trying to do the most things obviously a lot of buzz around spares because Gareth Bale has been attracting a lot of attention people saying he's not done what they thought he'd do and there's also now rumours of Christian Ericsson going back there on Loneby I don't see that happening I don't particularly think that he's a marino marino he's a type player he's seen in the documentary Marino Adam and he wasn't playing all the time and he was very vocal at wanting to go out of the club wasn't he so that's a link that's been thrown around today so yeah Yeah that one's going to be very interesting especially the Ericsson situation and obviously they made a lot of noise about Bale coming back and you know we'll see what effect he has in the second half of the season and whether they do go back for Ericsson but I think that's I don't think Marino's going to he's been bairnt enough by that but yesterday we told you about the Snickers protein fanline which is here to give you guys a chance that I'll have some steam and we have this tweeting from Gareth Hughes take it away Ned Well Gareth Hughes has asked do you feel this will be the quietest deadline in years due to the Covid situation Certainly a factor is well of course it's a big factor clubs have got less money I also think something you just said there about Ericsson needing two weeks in isolation while he's moved I think that could be that the general you know I listen players and obviously stuck in the same rules we are they can move around little general things do you players want to move from one country to another get the kids in school or not in school get in those routines you know family moving around you're coming into contact with more people you know all those little things is that going to stop people from getting around and going to mean that it might be a quieter transfer window than what we've had in the past I don't know is the answer to that I know that obviously it's a factor we've seen it at the moment with John Philippe Mateta that Crystal Palace I'm trying to bring him we'll talk about him a little bit in a minute but I think it'll make deals a bit more difficult to do of course it will and there might be some trust having to be placed when clubs do medicals for their players when you're trying to get someone in you can't see a player for a week say you're trying to sign a player from Germany on deadline day for arguing and saying you know I don't know whether the quarantine rules will say that that player then has to isolate for a week or whatever before you can have a look on him so have just that way with medicals and stuff you know things like that so it may make it more complicated I'm sure it'll give people of football clubs the football people some extra headaches that they might not have normally but we need to know that there is corridors in place for elite sports so they probably can get access to COVID tests and things like that and a negative test I guess bring it in and be able to get you to the club earlier than how it has been so we'll have to wait and see but I think just in response to Garrett's question I think it probably will be the quietest one because I think first and foremost we've seen a reduction in deals in January haven't we and it always comes from the top clubs now starting to say things like it's not a great window to do deals and we'd rather get our deals done in the summer and things like that and therefore once that message comes from the teams that are at the very top I think a lot of other teams kind of start settling down and going yeah well we'll do that if they're doing it we'll do it no remain and I think what you find is it's teams who have struggling like relegating them maybe think can we get this player in or can we get this player in that might help us keep us in the league but I think we're seeing less and less spectacular transfers in January haven't we because I know there's going to be less money around but you just think certainly for the Premier League people might make that gamble because because of everything that's going on because there's an opportunity all over the league for someone to do that but big thanks to Gats for sending any question you can get your questions in on the hashtag fanline it is the Snickers protein fanline but hashtag fanline on our Twitter at toffeeTVESC you can get them in you can send videos in or comments anything about Everton transfers or just general transfers or the transfer market as a whole you can get them in Ned have we got another one? We've had another tweet from Matthew Barry using the hashtag fanline Matthew Barry asked which Premier League club and the most money this transfer window Has anyone spent anything? Robert Snodgrass went to which has caused a bit of a stake to West Brom from West Ham which caused a stake The Premier League are investigating it they didn't play in the game but I think that was feeling un-disclosed I don't think there's been anything there's been nothing that has really been out at the moment Danny Drinkwater has gone out to take Danny Drinkwater has gone out to take he obviously has been away and I think a lot of clubs are just trying to get people out the door Kids going out on loan we've seen editing today with Ella Sims moving to Blackpool on loan stuff like that so it has generally tended to be loan so I don't think there's been too much money splashed around but obviously there was a lot of talk about slams it's never just gently closed or left open it's got a closed book you can't even open because any play can you just don't you have that situation where you'd close it but in the last bit of it it closes itself like a soft shutter you have the cars now with the boots and you press the button it goes down very slowly on its own 2021 surely slamming is the thing of the past but there was talk that Jayden's Ranch would have been back on the table in the January but that didn't happen anywhere we've even said to ourselves things have got to settle down so I don't know who would spend money I mean traditionally in the past it's being clubs like Chelsea or maybe Manchester City have brought someone in you know Everton themselves have done stuff Liverpool I'm going to say West Brom I think they're going to go out and get a couple more players in the next couple of weeks because I think if you bring someone like Alan Dyson I think he'll want a couple of players he's already got snug grass there's been rumours about a striker I think he'll sniff that they can stay up and I think he'll say to that board go and get me a couple of players we're not magnificent players and players that if they went down would help them get back up so I think they'll spend the most money they're the ones at the moment you look at what it means listen if you sack your manager you're saying straight away we want to stay in this division so I think you've got to go and get a couple of players I think some have actually insist on it and I think they're the ones who'll spend the most money it might be the most sexist thing in the world they might be the best players in the world but I think that's what will happen he'll see an opportunity to grab a couple of players that like snug grass snug grass is a decent primary player and he'll see an opportunity for someone or a couple of people to come in maybe a centre back maybe a striker who'll just give them that little bit that can get them to let's say 20 points cos I think that might keep you up this yeah it's a maths he has got it he has gone from there he's got a nice dead ball he's very dangerous so he's a good sign for all of this but you're right maybe it will be them I don't know whether Fulham have got loads to spend but they're another one that could if you're looking and going my way we're riding the mixie with a few points off maybe a club like Burnley you know when things aren't trying to track it well Burnley with the money coming through from the new owners you never know there's certainly a John Joe Kenny shape hole in there I feel and I felt that for a while they feel very interested in spending that £7 million to bring him in but you might be West Brom because you could see them grabbing a couple of £10 million players say that he thinks they'll help them stay up and that might be the thing that ends with them spending the most money on this one of the other clubs, one of the bigger clubs goes and just sees one player right at the end that they want to grab but it's hard to say at the moment because it is very very quiet and it's been a quiet window in general the January one for the last few years I think Liverpool buying Van Dijk was the biggest one for the last few years man United support Flanders a year ago what am I on about for £70 million didn't he wasn't quite Van Dijk money but he was a big one who made an impact but I just don't know whether there's any of them with Covid and everything I've done Ned have you got another one there another comment for us? Yeah we've had a tweeting from our friend Steve Kelly using the hashtag fan line he said which clubs do you think really need to strengthen this window and do you think clubs will be able to take risks due to Covid? That's a bit of amalgamation Okay the second part of the question is I think clubs will be less will be less open to taking risks due to the Covid situation obviously fans still buying back in stadiums we know clubs have lost a lot of money due to not having the fans in you know match day income has gone hasn't it? So clubs who may have had a little bit of money swashing around and thought we can grab someone in this window that'll just give us that boost maybe they'll stay away from it and go with what they've got maybe our club will do that rather than try to grab something a lot of supporters and we all want it we all want that player that'll make a big difference Leon Bailey keep banging on about and have them for months it'll be someone who will make a big difference everything but everything Marcel Brands everybody else might think no we'll hang on that won't please a lot of fans but maybe Everton will do that maybe there's a few clubs like that in terms of who needs the player the most was that the first part of the question who needs it? I think Everton need it the most after the team of a station I think Everton could do with an extra attacker I think Leicester could do with the centre another centre forward to back up Jamie Vardy and when you're looking further down Liverpool could do with a centre back as well before we move further down Liverpool could definitely do with a centre back because they're having to play midfielder centre back at the minute and moving further down the table someone like Wolves have got no goals in them but it's what Wolves feel that they can achieve if Wolves look and go well the chances are we're probably not going to get in your mouth they're not in any danger to getting relegated we can wait till the summer and plan properly for him and hasn't seen where he's up to but they could certainly do with a striker Wolves definitely but it's a difficult one to see because I think Everton could probably do with something couldn't he? There's definitely opportunities in the Premier League whether it be Champions League, the Premier League itself and certainly that relegation that's why I think West Brom will make a couple of moves what team that I've made a move today Crystal Palace bringing in a young striker? Jean-Philippe Mateta, for a mind 6 or 4 23 years of age obviously started in France good goal scorer on record and then moved to play in Lyon's B team had about 1-5 or something for them or 1-3 for them and then I've only played a couple of times for Lyon before mind struck on to Germany and he's ended up with I think it's something like 20 odd goals in 60 60 a pair so like 1-3 a bit little bit better than 1-3 about 23 years of age quite quick 6 or 4 like you said so I think he could be a really good sign for Crystal Palace you think of their strikers they've got IU who doesn't get a lot of goals Ben Teche who is getting older and not scoring anywhere near as much so quite often a lot of the goal-baiting falls upon Wilf Sahar who doesn't score a lot of goals himself anyway or that happened to the Lyon Sheppley's you know corners and stuff so if they could get Matete in there he could get on a good little run he could be a really stiff sign he took me to bat your eye from Chelsea on loan it's not worked this time he had a very successful spell there last time it really hasn't worked for them this time so Matete I think they've got him on a loan with a view to a permanent deal I think it is he could be a really smart sign for them because if he settles into the Premier League with his physique you know he could be one that they add a flip for a lot more money or he does very very well for them and that's the way forward maybe isn't it to bring these loans in with an option to buy it takes the pressure off the club the club we bring on the main obviously there will be a fee involved in that as well Evan had been linked with obviously ZXI by and Munich in the same kind of way maybe a small fee to get them in on loan for a view to a loan takes the pressure off and the club we were letting them go were getting something back and even if he came in and did well he was like he's in the shot window for maybe someone else in Palestine couldn't get the deal over the line he's got one in roughly one in two in his career stat but you see in the Premier League a lot of games are one by one golf so if you've got that difference see he's one I mean I spoke to Andy about him for Evan in the summer cos he's one I thought we could have got and on a deal like this it's a no brainer really 644 as well can't play the loan on strikeer you're getting them on loan with a chance to look at them it's one I'm surprised Evan really interested in to be honest but I know we've got Dominic Calvert-Lewin and whether he probably said to him you're going to be our main striker but I think that could be a good sign for them one transfer that I've gone through today Morgan Phoenix signed for Carlisle you might have took good luck to Morgan you had a short-term deal with Sunderland and now he's gone to Carlisle to continuous football education in his chair so to him to hopefully get himself a bigger deal he went to Sunderland and played the first couple of games and played in the Carabaugh Cup or something come back and obviously they're in finance then so hopefully good luck to Morgan hopefully get another deal out of it does well don't forget get your questions in using the hashtag fanline the Snickers protein fanline is here for you to get your videos and your comments in so use that hashtag we're going to be here for the next couple of weeks every day talking about event transfers general transfers and then we are going to be appearing on the Deadline Day show on Borsi which is going to be powered by Snickers protein it'll be live on Monday the 1st of February on the Ball Street YouTube channel you'll see us over there they'll be doing four hours of live Deadline Day people like Robbie will be on it won't they Robbie from Arsenal fan TV all the big hitters that you used to on Borsi so make sure you don't miss that but we'll be here every day doing a show one form or another evident or normal so make sure you stick around for those shows thanks for watching give this video a like, subscribe if you haven't already and we'll catch you later
