 Welcome to Toffy TV. It's the Everton News Daily. Pre-season has begun at Finch Farm. The players are Bach, everyone, Bar, Guilffy Sigerson, Jordan Pickford and Garnagay. Everyone else is Bach, I think. Pretty sure that everyone else is Bach. Yeah, all the faces, all the old faces, the likes of Kevin Reillas, he's Bach. Besage, he's Bach. Sandro, he's Bach. Everyone's Bach. Davy Classan, he's Bach as well. So, yeah, pre-season has begun testing today. So you've seen videos of all the players doing star jumps and all stuff on equipment. You know, it's all testing for the next couple of days and then the players will start doing a little bit and then we'll go out to Austria for a camp, which is good. It's like the beginning of the season. It starts here. You can start getting excited. The World Cup has got just less than two weeks to go now on the knockout stages. So as that starts coming to an end, pre-season comes from the beginning. You know, it's only two weeks and a little bit before we play our first game as well. So we can all start to get excited. It's just over a month before the Premier League starts. Exciting times. But everything I've yet to sign, a player yet. Could that player be Keenan Taney from Celtic? We are being heavily linked with the player, but no move has been made for the player. Hopefully this week, Evan, will look to do something. Hopefully Billy's an excellent left back. We're putting a video out tonight. Make sure you catch that about the benefits going after Keenan Taney. So let's hope we go for him. A left back leaving Evan. Luke Garberty has gone to Oxford for a year on loan. He's gone today. It hasn't quite worked for Luke at Evan in the last couple of years. It was seen as Leighton Bain's potential replacement. Obviously he was given a five-year deal by Roberto Martinez and then sent out on loan to Fulham. And that was sort of like the beginning of the end, wasn't it? You know, we got a broken leg. It's never been the same player. Went to Wigan on loan. Questions about his attitude and stuff. Last season he wasn't registered for the first part of the season. When really he could have, you know, if he had been he would have got chances to play, but it just hasn't happened for Luke. He's gone out to Oxford for a year on loan and we wish him well. Hopefully he does well there and kick-start his career. We've been linked with the Croatian centre back v either obviously in the last few days. And now we're getting linked with, is it going to be a tussle between us and Liverpool for his for his signature? Obviously he's through to the quarterfinals of the World Cup after Croatia beat Denmark on penalty. So obviously if anything does happen, it's not going to happen till Croatia go out of the tournament, but we've been heavily linked with them. So we'll have to wait and see. He's been OK. I don't think he's been amazing, but maybe he takes that box of, you know, a dominant centre half. Someone they've been, you know, they've been looking for. Cos there aren't too many centre backs around. This is the problem. There's just not that many good ones about. So let's wait and see whether we do go for him. As I said, we won't know till Croatia go out of the tournament. I play that we've been linked with in the past. Ki Sung Young, who obviously took part in the tournament, he has gone to Newcastle from Swansea. We will link with him heavily. And the Newcastle Chronicle have said that they beat us and a few other clubs. I don't think you can beat someone if you're not actually in for them. But it looks good for Newcastle. They can say we beat this handful of Premier League teams and AC Milan and all the rest of it. But yeah, I don't think we were ever in for them. It was just we were just linked with them, but he's gone to Newcastle. They're happy with that. He's happy with that. We're not bothered that way. We're not that bothered. Another centre back that Evan have been linked with is Remy Menzebeni from Stalren. We've been linked with him today. Stuck out of also being linked to them. Listen, you know the deal. It's silly season. We're going to get linked with all kinds of players left, right and centre. It's just the way it is, isn't it? But hopefully Evan will make a sign in soon. Let's hope because you know what? We've only got about another five, six weeks to make a sign in. The window shuts before the season starts. Season starts what second week in August. So, but it's the first week in August. It's not that long actually. So hopefully Evan can get the ducks in a row, get the players out that they want to get out. A few conversations will be had this week at Finch Farm. Let those players know that the surplus of requirements and hopefully once we get them out the door or at the same time players can be brought in and we can start a fresh place coming quite early in the pre-season like last year. And we go from there. Let's hope so. Let's hope it gets done soon. Thanks for watching Toffy TV. This has been the Evan News Daily. If you haven't already, please subscribe.
