 Welcome to Toffy TV, being asked to do this video by a few people, and given the Rafa Benita's era has now officially begun at Everton, we thought we'd do it, they all keep a cell all alone of Everton's current squad. Now, I think it's a good time to do before any new people have come in through the door. Hopefully it's not going to be too much longer before Everton starts adding to the squad. But we know that it needs four, five, six. I've seen people saying nine. I don't think we'll get nine, but certainly four or five a first team is needed in this summer. So we've got what we've got, so we're going to work our way through and just give our thoughts on this squad and who we think should stay and who we would let go out the door. Let's begin very easily with England's number one. The first goalkeeper to have five clean sheets at the start of a tournament since certainly the first English keeper. Easy one, isn't it? This might have been a different conversation pre-Christmas when even a little bit out of sorts, even just after Christmas I thought he was a little bit out of sorts, but he got an injury and spent a bit more time with the sports psychologist and come back. And really from the music side, Dabi, when he came back in, I think he's been fantastic and he's carried that form on for England as he's open pick for them. Yeah, yeah. I think everyone's seen that in the last few months, haven't they? Probably, yeah, February onwards. He's already mentioned how having a goalkeeper pushing him and coming into the side and having a couple of good performances. Obviously the Leeds game away for Robin Olson. He's probably just focused his mind on what he had to do, the idea that he could lose his position and maybe the England thing plays into that as well. He didn't want to lose his place and there's a lot of people saying that he should lose his place. So, you know, there was concerted effort by the media for most of the season, because of the van Dijk situation, but him to lose his place, like that was the punishment. And yeah, you know, I wasn't the biggest fan of him myself because of those mistakes, but certainly he's got his head sorted and he's played well. And, you know, we've seen that from the Euros, that he's certainly looked like he's a lot more focused, you know, and yeah. Why would we want to sell right now when, you know, I don't think we'd be capable of getting a better goalkeeper in? I think interesting saying like you weren't, you weren't, you know, a biggest fan, but I think it's not the actual goalkeeping ability, is it, that you're concerned about? Yeah, but I mean, goalkeeping ability or any kind of football ability comes from where you're mind is, you know, we've had a lot, not evidence such, but there's been a few footballers around the last few years that you, that you, I'll feel players, you certainly where you look at them and they obviously very talented player, but just can't quite get his head on it, either can't train properly or isn't focused. No, but there's been like other ones, you know, and what happens is they bounce from club to club, never quite find anywhere and then, lo and behold, you know, they get like 30 odd and then go, oh, I should have done this way. Pickford, yeah, being a goalkeeper, he's a good goalkeeper, it's clear that he's a good goalkeeper. I've got decisions on and off the pitch and he's starting to make those right decisions now by the looks of it, starting to realise that you've got to make good decisions on and off the pitch if you want, you've got to be a good professional and I think the penny's dropped. And also, the England goalkeeper, it's a critical, it's a position that's always achieved criticism for whoever it's been to, it's far back as I can remember England goalkeepers have been criticised, whether they've been good, bad, indifferent, it always comes with that extra pressure, doesn't it? Well, you can't force two in the team, can you? You can have other positions where you can sort of force a couple in or wherever or someone can come off the bench and that will nullify criticism or who wants what from the media, but the goalkeeper ones very, you know, I remember for years, David Seaman, people want to Chris Woods, so people want to Chris Woods when Peter Shilton was in or Shilton and Clements and going back years and years, you know, there was always this thing of like… Robinson, Joe Art, there was love for you. Yeah, you know, there was always this thing of like, people always, and it was like a concert, I think before this, for like Dean Anderson in and the kid from Bailey and they're not good enough. Whereas I think for Jordan Pickford, he's always had that. I think he's always known that if he was in good form or close to it, that he was always going to be number one because what he can do is, certainly with the ball at his feet, is they just can't do it. They just can't do it. And it starts things off as we've seen it before, doesn't it? Yeah, so Pickford, the deaf and the keep. I think one thing, and they will quite clearly need to address this summer, is the number two then. So we saw Robin Olson, who came in last season on loan, did well, I think, for Evan in the main. That's some really good game. You talked about the Leeds game before, which I think the highest point of his thing, he was brilliant. Lester away as well, I thought he was excellent. But he's gone back to Roma. Roma won a favour, I think, but there's reports, although Italian press, he can't really listen to much of them, but there's reports that he wants to keep them now at Roma. But we'll see what happens with him. But if it isn't him, Sergio Romero is the one who's a free transfer who has been linked heavily. Evan do need a goalkeeper that Jordan Pickford thinks he could take my place just to keep on going, and also to take him out the fire line. And actually don't. On occasions, to play. To play, yeah. Cos I think that's always been the thing. It's a bad having a number two that you really think can do the job. You know, you train with them every day. There must be that thing of like, but also there must be that thing as well where you look at them and go, you're never getting a game cos you're just not good enough. You probably want someone who's going to get a game. Now and again. And I know, you know, people go, they want to play every game and they're a goalkeeper, but I'm sure now and again, you know, it'd be nice for them to just not nice me this the long way. But just to drop out, whether it be like a league cup game or something and refocuss, and it keeps them on the toes from the manager's point of view. Surely having someone who is capable of that. Rather than just have someone who we've seen to have done for the last few years is just like a placeholder. And you do get that thing then and when you worry about that. But at this rate last season, Pickford actually did go out the team twice through injuries that kept them out for like three or four games. And although Robin Olson wasn't everyone's cup of tea and saying he's in as good as Jordan Pickford, at least he did come in and have genuinely decent performances. You know, the performance at Leeds was magnificent. You know, I give it 10 out of 10 on my player ratings. You know, I don't know, other ones were in great and you know, little mistakes here or there. The double save at Leeds. But the fact that we had someone, because it's always that thing of what if you get injured and it's like, oh, you know, and he did, he got injured a couple of times. So we had someone who'd come in and get them on his toes. So we definitely need a number two who's capable of pushing them. And the other thing is well, Rafa Benitez, has swapped goalies as well. Dwi'n brath caer i'r ragdalo up there and he actually did move them around at times. So it isn't a manateur who just goes, oh, this keep is playing every single game. Because I think that's what Carlo Antillotti did well last year with Pickford. Everton just finally on the goalies, Diolch yn gweinio, who came in and played a couple of games for us and didn't let anybody down. He didn't come on against Burnley, didn't he, when Pickford was injured, played against Manchester City in the FA Cup and did well. Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything about either goal that day. In fact, the first goal was a brilliant save because it didn't fall right for him. But me personally, I look at Java Jinger and think I'd like him to go and have a season at a club. This is the problem with goalkeepers. Someone like him, you want him to go and play for a club and play every game, the season. I think even at a league one level, but if he played like 30 odd games, just for the fans being back in the stadiums, just the hustle and bustle every week of the league, I think then we might be able to make a better decision. And now Everton will always have three keepers in the squad is what they do. But for him, he's 20 or 21 now, I think you need to get a run of games behind him. And I'm not convinced just being Everton's number two is the best thing for him. Personally, I'd like him to go and have a loan. What do you think? Yeah, I think as long as it's the right loan. I mean, obviously he went to Redd and two years ago and never quite worked out. Last season he stayed with the club and as you said he got some games, signed a new contract. So playing the sulphur game as well, didn't he? Yeah, yeah. So I think people think at the club, obviously I think he's going in the right direction, probably not ready quite yet. But from what I think he's kicking decent. He's agile and it's just about putting it all together. And as you said, that might take 38 games playing on its league one or championship. That might just take playing a lot of games and getting that together and having a few bumps. We talked about Pickford. Pickford played a lot of games before he got into Sunlands team. And before you know it, he's England, he's playing for England, he's playing for Everton. So maybe that's what it'll take. Yeah, I think so. So for the junior for me, I think a loan, I think, but benefits him definitely rather than just being. I'm going to add as the number three goalie I'm being in the Scots. Moving on to defenders, Seamus Coleman is a keep, isn't he? Yeah, yeah. 32, club captain, and I think Everton, it's well documented. Everton will look for another right back, hopefully. Someone like Denzel Dunfries, who's still, it's Bob and her hand coming, but Seamus Coleman is definitely a keep, but I think we do need a face. Yeah, he's a score player. Don't we? Llywyddyn is an easy keep as well, isn't he? Hopefully, his injury isn't too bad. And he's here joining in. He'll have a couple of weeks left now because of being with France, and then hopefully he's ready for pre-season, but he's an easy keep as well, isn't he, Llywyddyn? And then Nails yn Cwm Cwm is one, because seeing a couple of things, saying Everton wouldn't be against loan on a mount, which means we wouldn't have a back-up left back unless they had, unless Terry Small was the back-up left back who plays for the 23s, but it's there. Yn Cwm Cwm did well in the Lee Cup games, played up at Newcastle, wasn't great, but then Everton weren't great that day, and he had strange, he had Andre Gomez in front of him on the left-hand side, it didn't quite work. Sure, I'm coming in, FA Cup game against Roderham, I think it was, and got on late on, and got on at Manchester City didn't he on the last day. What do you think with him? Do you think we should loan him, or do you think keeping him as part of the squad would be more beneficial for him? I've had one this, because obviously a new manager's going to come in and have a look at him, but I think he does need a loan. I think he needs to go and play some games somewhere, a championship maybe. I don't think he's primarily ready to go somewhere and become a first teamer, but I do think championship would, to start games. And then also find out whether he's a left back or whether he could play left midfield. Because I think we're really small there. If they think really small, he's good enough, or physically he's ready. We didn't really use him concrete that much last season, so by pushing really small up, we'd be really losing anything. You'd be giving really small that. Experience. And I'm not sitting here saying, we need to button him up, because there's been names that he wants to leave, or because he wants a pathway. But I think it might work for both of them. We're teeny small, still playing under 23 games, but he's included in the squad for the first team, and obviously the first team comes first. And then Uncuncu gets games of football. And we find out what he's all about. I'm sure they'll make that assessment in the coming weeks, whether they think he is good enough. But obviously last season there was a lot of, he came in, he really was supposed to be under 23, he's a player, he's retired. He got pushed up the pechynodre. Played well in those games, but when he came to playing in the Premiership, Carl and Charlie didn't think he was ready. So maybe you just need that loan. Yeah, so loan for Niels and Uncuncu. Michael Keane is a centre. Terri small we just mentioned, I think Terri small plays with the 23s, Terri wherever and every day, and hopefully if we get a couple of decent games in the Carabao Cup early on, if it goes the way it should, and introduce Terri small that way. But he is predominantly still an under 23 player. Michael Keane, obviously a lot of people, I'd say splits opinion. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. I don't know, I think he done, in the main he done well last season. Michael Keane I think overall, I thought he had a decent season. But I've seen a lot of people saying sell him. I think you can only sell him obviously if you get a bit for him. We've got him and we've got Yeri Mina. Michael Keane's got four years left, I think, on his deal. Yeri Mina's only got two. He's obviously away at the Copper America, at the moment doing very well for his team. And the each one, I mean, to start with Keane, what would you do with Michael Keane? Sell him. Would you sell Michael Keane? 100%. 28? 100% sell him. He's got four years left on a contract. He's 28. Yeah, he can be great sometimes. But then other times he can be absolutely terrible. And not look like he understands, defend him one tiny bit. And I think if you could get something for him and reinvest that money in like an absolute real, real top talented centre back who you're almost pinning the whole of you. No, because I think the problem is, right? And I'm including Mina in this, right? Now, Mina'd keep, but you'd have to give him a new contract. But you can't rely on Mina, right? Because of the injuries. And you can't rely on Keane because he's like a jack-o-lantern player because of his confidence. So, therefore, I want a centre back who I can pin on my hopes on and say he's our centre back who plays every single bit. Is that not Ben Godfrey? Maybe it is, but not at the moment. I think maybe Ben Godfrey will still have his ups and downs and will still be leaning. I want an experienced centre back but he's like 26 who you can rely on. It's simple as that. Haven't it been linked with Ben White who's obviously a lot younger than that? What do you think of Ben White? I think he's a good player. He only had one season in the Premier League. None loan at least, even four. See, we've just been talking there about actually Ben White being linked with a move to Man City. So, if someone like Le Port became available and I'm not saying he will be and I'm not saying he'll come to heaven but that's like the mould that I'd be looking for someone who you could go and I know people go well, we supposed to be buying plays on the up but to be fair, you know... They still own 24, isn't he? Le Port to me and I'm just saying that's the mould. Someone who's been there, don't he? And listen, I don't know. John Stones? He's got a year left on his contract and I'm not sure if he... I just want someone who you'd look at and just go he's sitting at a defence and can be the mainstay. Now, Michael Keane is a little bit like that but you know that he's only like... I don't know. One bad performance or one ball away from the confidence thing. When you go back to the Man City game what he did in that game he doesn't inspire me, he never has inspired me because I don't think... I don't think he's like a natural defender he's a stopper and I appreciate that but he doesn't read the game like I think a proper defender should. See, I think Jerry Meane is a better defender. No, I think he does read the game. Because I think Meane does smell down and he gets his head on a lot of things and he gets blocks. But you're right. The thing with Jerry is he's never... you can't rely on him because he does pick up. I mean, I've always like said you know he's not injured even when you look at the games he isn't but last season he did pick up where he has a little spell doesn't he and if you're trying to build a solid you know, formation and be able to go like Ben Goffrey and Jerry Meane are there might you. It's come down to it with me as a keep one of those two and it's been that way for a while with me. It's like we keep one and the other one goes them because we do need another one coming in. So we're going to say sell Michael Keane. I'd sell him. And what about Jerry Meane are there? Keep him if you can get him to sign a new contract. I don't actually though I actually think there'll be more takers for Meane than Keane. I think Meane will be seen as a thing. So keep Meane and sell Keane okay. Mason Holgate is someone who I've seen a lot of a lot of Evertonians flip-flop over. I think the season before last he finished the season arguably as evidence best defender we spoke about him and a lot of people did have been a potential captain. And then last season he got the injury in pre-season then was out for three months and come back and he had some really good games and he had some games where he was all over the place. A lot of people didn't like the chewing of the gum. I hate that. You hate it yourself. And I don't know he just never really got into any kind of form. I still think there's a sense of me feel play it like a defensive me feel player in and rather than a sense of it. But what would you do? Because I've seen a lot of people say sell him. I think honestly I think if there's a player in there I think Benitez will get him out. Get it out of him. I think he will. Honestly and whatever you think of Rafa Benitez think what you like of him. I think if anyone could get it out of him if anyone can draw that player out or anyone can make an assessment on him I think it's Benitez. I really do. Well he doesn't. He doesn't suffer fools because of Benitez and he doesn't. But if he wants to make someone but if he wants to make someone a defend it if he sees the natural ability in there then because I think what he is is he's a rough diamond. He thinks he's a diamond. Yeah. Basically. He thinks he's the final product but he's not. He's nowhere near the final product but I don't think anyone so far or maybe it was just Carla Montalotti didn't have time. I don't think anyone... I don't think anyone thinks high enough of him to smooth the edges off. So he's not like a John Stones where it's like we can see what he's going to be. We just have to let it play out. I don't think anyone thinks he's going to be at that level so he's willing to take the time whereas I think Benitez will do that because if he sees that he can be the kind of play he needs and that might mean being in the centre of my field by the way. If he sees those extra bits in him he might go well this is what I'm going to give. And I think he'll make that assessment. I think someone needs to do it with Holgate because there's still talk of like he's 24 now so when there's still talk of it and you're a right back and you're a centre back and you're a centre of my field at 24 doesn't help you. I think someone needs to go you are this or you could be that. Ben Godfreyb is a centre of my field player and they've used him to go back and he's gone back to centre and I still think he's another one he could probably play in the field but he's someone who's been told that go back there and enjoy it and we know that Holgate thinks he's a centre back so maybe Rafa Benitez is the one to actually make the call on him because he's not a manager like you said before he's going to put his arm around you and tell you it's great when there isn't. So what do we do with him? Give him another season. Keep him. Yeah I'd probably give him another season. OK. OK. Do you have a branch mate? I suspect he's a key business. What do we do with him then? Does he become centre back number four in this or does he go out? For me it's one of those things where you wait for the last week of the window and then you see what you've got and then you make your decision then. I don't think I wouldn't have any problems with me like the fourth centre back but again it's you bring him in now and start looking to like working on him and trying that. He's had games at Blackbane, it was up and down which is fine. I have no problem with that because you're teaching someone how to adjust a football to being the highest level. He's had it up to then. He's had it pretty much everything that's going to arrive. So yeah, I'd probably wait for that last week but he might come in and he might go Jesus, this lad is a keeper and we don't need to bring someone in or whatever but yeah I'd wait for that last week and decide before you know. I mean he's definitely a keeper to the court. There's no question about it, it's just about that and then a fella who's come back he was in a little bit of limbo really which is Lewis Gibson who signed a new deal and there seemed to be a pathway for him going on loan to Fleetwood for that end of the season come back in the summer, we'll have a look at year and all that but within that time, having signed you had a branch break and because he was at the club he played Premier League games and did well so it came to last summer and a branch break was ahead of Gibson and Gibson then was supposed to be reading good season playing championship football and we'll be able to make an assessment and as it happened injuries and change of a manager and loss of a little bit of a flunk didn't play anywhere near the games and he's back at Everton now with a year left this summer I've seen Ipswich won him I think Frannie Jeffers is at David Paul Cook now, they won him I think I'd be inclined to sell him because I just think I think out of two I think Blanc plays yeah it's sad the way it goes isn't it it's sad that for him it could have been so much different if Fleetwood had got promoted and he'd stayed with them but it wasn't meant to be went to Reading and played a little bit not much never went the way it should have gone and I think the club might just cut the losses now we'll give him a new contact but I think he'd be looking to get out when the stars is coming up definitely Blach pulled it all over him and the other thing is the other thing is don't loan a player to Reading I think the model is done never buy a player from Arsenal and never lend anyone to Reading seems to be the way it is into midfield, Andre Gomes sell if someone wants to buy definitely sell he had his hair cut which is a good start make him a little bit quicker undoubtedly he's very talented footballer in there he saw that in his loan season he's not I know we had a terrible injury last season he just my issue with Andre Gomes is not one or the other when he plays midfield he's not doing what he did for Valencia which is breaking into the box with the ball and he's not good enough defensively at the moments for us at 28 when he said at 28 you'd expect him to be there just looking to think you know he's trying to move him on he's trying to move him on Alan I thought coming last season on the whole he was very good I had some games where he looked a little bit offered other games with those he was excellent in obviously the injury took three months of his season or certainly ten weeks of his season away and we just couldn't get him in the corner back in the side together till the very end when neither of them looked fully fit at the end but for me I would keep him because I think 100% he's a tone-setter and I think Benitez might actually get more not more out of him because I think he loved playing for Calamante but I think the way the structure that Rafa Benitez tends to have in a team might actually benefit Alan a bit more yeah and a pre-season under his belt as well would really be beneficial to him so 100% there yeah Fabian Delf he's seen him come back looking dead happy didn't he he didn't look that happy to be walking with he's got a year left obviously on his everton congel just less than a year now on his everton deal I imagine that the football club will let him go with anyone shows any kind of interest he's hardy kicked the ball for us really since he came he's been here two seasons it seems to go really wrong for him at Amfield in the FA Cup after that he had a spat with the fans and everything and since then we've not seen much of him have we and I think I think for everyone Mike Pastner reading of it for everyone it's better if he goes yeah it doesn't it doesn't strike me as the most committed ever time in the world or ever in the world sorry so no I'd be happy to let him go you know okay Abdelai Decore I think done well when he come in a pre-season a pre-season under his belt get him fit and hopefully he has a long good season I think he can do really well for us Tom Davies is someone again with a lot of people still up and down on despite them playing well over under game forever I think he's an important squad player Tom Davies I'm not saying that he's a fair team starter and all that to him to develop into that but for me he's a definite keeper though yeah that question he's a player don't forget in the winter months you know he was very much the heart of the team you know whether people like that or not he sat in front of the back home when he was used in the right way he was effective he was just the give and go lad and the water carry whatever and he just stood in front and it was only when Antielotti started moving him again he like left him out when he shouldn't have done near the end that we lost it and it's easy to do that it's easy to leave Tom Davies out but when he was sitting in front of that back home that was his position he was great and it was when Alan came back and he was like the manager was unsure what to do and he was like he put Alan in there and he moved him to the side but actually Tom's better in that position move Alan to do that job because I've said loads of times Tom will always give you an option to pass the ball he makes good angles he's never square on get it and give it and then that's it, you've played through the lines then and it's not it's not going to you're not reinventing the wheel he just does a simple job he's just a simple professional who dresses like a pirate this is what it is it's not to do with who he is and his scout on his outlander it's the simple fact this is that he's a good squad player and he come in and give 100% and he will move on I just don't think this is the time because I just think we've got other players and we've named two already sent from the fielders who would want to move on so he wouldn't be one John Philippe Goebbamon got a beer cube this is the season this is the year of the JP this is the year it's the third summer and it's the first time third manager and it's the first time in pre-season it's the training day one the good thing is this is where this is really important when they come back from pre-season they do all the testing obviously and then they start off and they all start at effectively the same level and then they build up slowly their fitness now the players might be fit to themselves but it's all conducted in a way that you're only putting in the same amount so when the actions you do things they'll say just do it off or just do it at this speed because obviously the way they look at it is if they ask them to do something that's when you start getting those muscle injuries and I think that will help them because I think one of I'm not a cancerist I'm a sport scientist but I think maybe one of the issues was it was certainly the last time he got injured was he came back and he played and then he's training and everyone else is like top of the level and you're in training and you're trying to find that and maybe that's when he's done his injury and I know some have fell on top of him but it's all about building up to being at a certain level and I think maybe at that stage he's trying to impress as well but this has happened three times the first injury was just kicking the ball but what's that maybe because you're fatigued they just come back from the African Nations you add that pre-season and you're fatigued and you're doing things at the level other people are doing things it might be as simple as just kicking a football but if you're trying to get up to that level and you're not at that level these are highly tuned athletes and we know it can only take in our eyes something very small to make them injured but that's because we're talking and then the second injuries again doing something basic which everyone else is doing and it's that temptation everyone's been there you've had a little knock and you want to get back in and you can't always do that and I think that's what's good about coming back pre-season first day just build that up slowly you can keep an eye on them but no one else will be up here so that'll be good and I think if we can hopefully please God I think I still feel like he could be a big player forever and if he could stay fit because I don't know exactly what we need but he's got a stay fit Gilfee Sigardson I'm sure him coming back to chat with the manager a lot of people didn't like it but he's obviously being subject of some speculation over the last 10 days of it a move to Saudi Arabia they're very interested in him I don't know whether he's very interested or not maybe he's not I mean what would you do with him he's got a year left I would be tempted to sell him if Everton got enough of a forum because it's getting some money back on him I won't be pulling me air out of his stays because I think as a squad player I think he's a decent squad player he's decent from Shep well from Cornish let's not pretend he's a free kick specialist but from Shep plays he's not bad but I do feel like we need to move on Everton at a team I think in need of power and pace mobility all the things Gilfee hasn't got the technically he's a good footballer if you're unsure of and I think there might be an account on Twitter that'll tell you keep it up to date with him what would you do with him the difficult isn't it because of all the talk of Hamas Rodríguez and what his future is I think if we could get 10 million forum if there was options ready to come in then yeah definitely Salom definitely it depends whether there is an offer there rarely and if there isn't then it wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't but you're right if we need power and pace but also we need to we need to genuinely be able to bring players in as well it's great sitting here going we'll get rid of him and him and him and be able to bring players in who are at the level so if there was a good offer for him and obviously we hadn't sold to the players then yeah I'd sell him but again no if we didn't sell him being in his last year I wouldn't be like tearing out my ears I'd just be like fine I'm sure he'll go next season probably I might do Talon o'n Yango obviously got injured in the FAU Cup did me for ever in a man's city night at the end he'd spent most of the season training him at the first team and no Carlo Anciolotti rated him highly the coach and staff do looks like he's got the physicality he'll sure make his first team debut against Sheffield Wednesday in the FAU Cup with Terry Schmull I don't know clearly I think he would have played the last couple of games this year if he wouldn't have got the injury cos there was an opportunity to live in the centre of the park to keep him again for this season or is this one of those have a look at January first part of the season with the first team I don't think he's going to be back till the window shots cos that was a nasty injury there it wasn't a cut injury so I don't think he's going to be back so I don't think we can get with him anyway so it might be one of them it might be January see what his stock is in the first team in the squad and he might decide for the back half for the season I just can't imagine he's going to be back cos he's done the injury in April and it was a nasty injury and I think for him maybe if I try the wrong angle it might actually be better for him to stay in the first part of the year because obviously he's got a new manager he doesn't know and then build that relationship up with that squad, with those staff so the manager gets a look at him and goes and then maybe moves on and he is I think this is going to be pretty straightforward but not a year to go nice little football but for me he needs to I don't think he's physically got enough for the Premier League Alex Orwobi I don't think he's got enough in any point I don't think he's got the facilities for it the only way I see Alex Orwobi being useful is if the manager plays the 4-3-1 that he's used at times and plays Orwobi almost in the number 10 role central if Sigurdson goes the hammers went then obviously he didn't go then you'd have to figure out a role for him but after right I honestly don't think Peddy can play well for us he's not quicky he hasn't got any dynamism whatever he needs he doesn't score goals he doesn't score goals I think the most he ever got in the season for Arsenal was six he was once I think everything else was two he got one last year he doesn't score enough goals for us and therefore we need players in wide areas to get your goals unless he plays in that number 10 then for me it would be his cell the difficult thing with Alex Orwobi is he's still only 24 but who's going to come and pay £20 million for him if he had a decent season and other teams are looking to go and actually yet we can use him it's way to get Well maybe Patrick Vieira Arsenal might like him and Palace might need him and we might end up with a half so I think it will be for him as well I just think I don't see Hames Rodriguez back a pre-season training much of the surprise of a few people but he's an evident player and now there's been rumours but there's been rumours about us getting all sorts of players as well so Hames Rodriguez back I personally want to keep him I want to keep him for this season because I think a fella that got half a dozen goals created another nine we haven't got that player and I just feel like his ability especially if Evan put a little bit of patience to this team changes the way we are I know people's reservations and we'll go the only place 20 out games people have talked themselves into that people have talked themselves into selling them because of what happened at the end of the season and everything and not being there and the missing games people have talked themselves into that this is a guy you've just said it you've just mentioned like a wobbion you've just mentioned other players you haven't got goals we haven't got goals in this team we've got a couple of players obviously Domin Carmelon who didn't score enough and then you start catching around but he generally has got goals and assists and pre-assists and all the rest of it if you take that out of the team you've got an issue you've got to find that and then find it everywhere else we have to find it everywhere else in the first week so I think people have talked themselves into that do I think he'll stay I don't think he will, I imagine I think if Evan would have got any sense it won't be till after they've been to America and I'm sure they're actually probably contacted to take him to America knowing how these things work and then maybe a deal's done but I'd prefer to keep him I want to see the fella I want to watch him in real life and Evan goes and he's like this is boss, I want to stay gave him some connection with the club we just get to see him we just get to see him play football this is a fella, no Evertonian in a seat has managed to watch him and it's annoying and it would just be totally Evan if we never got to see him because he's a class player so if you ask me now, no I want to keep him Anthony Gordon went off on loan to Preston started really well and then fell out of it and didn't really get a go to us the end and with Alex Neil still not questioning his ability questioning decision making which is a young player it's what happens and I've seen people say put him back in the squad now and Evan was one of our wingers I personally would like him to go on loan again I think a year at another take everyone else now a season at a club I think trying to get games and working hard I think will benefit him because I don't see how I just don't see how he gets in Evan's team at the moment physically he needs to go up a level because not only did he look weak in games but he suffers from injuries and that's what happened to him at Preston he got injuries and he went out the side and never got back in the side so you have to be resilient especially when you're playing the championship you're going to get knocked on out you've got to play I've seen the thing the other day saying football has been injured and stuff it was to do with strapping players up and someone said I would love to be able to get through a season without having to take a pair of sheets of them because that's the goal of their career because they're always injured they're always in pain that's what you that's not right but that's what sportsmen have to do sportsmen have to just go show to you last week the pictures of fellas from the Tour de France if they just decided that can't do it today lads then your tour's over and I'm not saying you don't feel great you've just got to be able to get out there and get the straps on and get out there you only get that from playing every week because you get the desire to play every week but I think your body's got to be at a certain level for that but you've got to get to a certain physical level haven't you you look a dom now when I know he was a scrawny little kid till he was like 19, 20 so he's got to get that like a layer of muscle on him so that he won't withstand it and I don't know whether he's quite there yet but if he's not getting him on loan somewhere like Blackpool might be the perfect place for him they've gone up to the championship full of players he'll know the manager will certainly know him so maybe that will be the right place I don't know but I don't think he's quite ready yet and again I think this is what happened last year expectations get too high good player coming through blah blah blah and then when he doesn't do it people have a go at him and it's like don't do that don't put your expectations so high and then you won't be disappointed let him come through at the right time definitely loan for Anthony Gordon on to the forwards he's going on loan to the Olympics he is on loan to Brazil every game he just loves it's not a different player but it almost feels like he's a different player because you're watching him and he does don't get me wrong, the pride he has playing for Brazil is unreal don't get me wrong he does I don't think we see it as much when he plays for Evan because he does run his heart out for Evan and I'll tell you what I've noticed when he plays for Brazil when he goes down a lot but when you always want to play and he's always getting kicked gets kicked everywhere and same in the Premier League but there is something about him playing for Brazil he loves it so he's staying on he's a definitely a keeper anyway isn't he because we can't afford again it's the same thing we can't afford the goals to go out and even though last season he didn't have his best season I still think he'll be better this time now and B I don't see anyone who's going to pay what Evan won for 5 million I don't see anyone who's away currently with England in the last four of the Euros a lot of speculation about him over the last three or four days Chelsea are buying him, United are buying him Spares are buying him which is hilarious he's again he's one that you wouldn't even consider 21 goals goals again why would you even think about that like last season without him nothing, so he's a definitely a keeper the only way you would sell him as if an offer coming and you thought well like we can go and get this player this player but we'd have to be guaranteed goals but for me he's a definitely a keeper Moise Key who Evan allowed him to go on loan last year much of people's annoyance and to be honest how it played out we could have done with him I think at times last season but he went on loan did quite well for PSG it was a very rich club and seemed to have no problem paying money big money for other players but so far only one on loan apparently I've seen people say but fine loan them with the guarantee of the 40 million next summer Evan need the money now yeah just sell them or you keep them sell them or use them so I mean what would you do would you sell them because it helps fund everything else that Evan want to do but if you can't sell them do not loan them do not loan them because you know we could do with what he's got give him a few more opportunities Tarleton's away to begin the season so Keane could be in there but do not loan them because it's just dead it's just dead money really is dead money if everything were purely flush in terms of FFP and the rules and we could just go and buy whatever then yeah you'd go loan them and then the guarantee next summer the clause and you sell them for full we've got that money coming in it's not an issue it ain't like that at the minute we need every penny we can get because of FFP so you'd absolutely right it sell them now or if not he just stays and he becomes part of the squad and he might turn into something we need another one obviously just had a really good end to the season but Blackpool got 10 goals for them from Christmas well T'i angyl, leit'i angyl er i osny sadly for him was injured for the final but blackpool won and got up I'm not sure whether he's ready for the Premier League so the sensible thing for him would be to give him back to Blackpool would you have to give him a new contract? I think Evan should give him a new contract he's got a year left so he's got to get a new deal give him a two year deal give him back to Blackpool let him have a year in a championship and I tell you what if he does well in that then you can make a decision but I don't think you can make a decision on them this summer because if they put them for sale they'll just go to Blackpool anyway so you might as well stick them on loan give them a contract stick them on loan to Blackpool and then next summer make a decision I mean I might keep him for a bit and play him in a couple of different names and just shape and then obviously Nathan Brod because he's sad a new deal but I think for him because I don't shame getting any game time for Evan and I really don't but a championship loan everyone can go to Blackpool because you've got to be half a dozen of the ones you've gone out to do but yeah Nathan Brod I'll get him to a championship club and let's see what he can do and if he does well for them excellent then you can make a decision whether he's given an opportunity or you get some money for him because for the lad 23 nearly 24 he needs his career up in London doesn't he rather than knocking around in a 23 there you go let us know what you think of the players we've discussed or just give us a quick who would you sell and we'll assume a need your loan let us know in the comments section subscribe if you haven't and if you want more videos daily live videos to join us over on Patreon see you later
