 Welcome to Toffy TV, this is the Everton News Day. It is believed Everton have bid in the region of £14 million for Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hoiberg. Lot of talk about this last night that started with a £25 million bid, then it came down to an £18 million bid and it was then revealed by Paul Joyce, who is normally very good on these things that the bid was in the region of £14 million. Southampton obviously looking to do business for the players in his last year of his contract. Possibly looking to bring players in on in a swap deal, there's been various young players mentioned with this deal, likes of John Joe Kenny possibly. Also Spares looking at the player as well and obviously they've got a Spares player on loan at the moment. Could that come into the reckoning for the player? Well after waiting to see, he's a talented midfielder in the style that we don't have at the moment. Someone who's a bit of everything, obviously started with buying Munich. Never actually played under Carlo Ancelotti, but he actually left as some of the Carlo Ancelotti came into buying Munich. Someone who's done very well, someone who was the captain of Southampton. That's been taken off him now because of the situation with his contract. We'll have to wait and see. He's obviously someone Carlo Ancelotti wants to see him as a good fit, at a good price. I do think he's the kind of player that we just don't have at the club. We have a lot of very similar players in midfield, so we're going to have to wait and see. As I mentioned, they've looked at him. He's someone that they would like to bring in their midfield. It's not going to be easy to get him. He will leave Southampton, but obviously we'll have to wait and see. If Spares can offer him European football, he's a very ambitious player. He said he wants to win the Premier League and he wants to win the Champions League. He's got high ambitions and we'll have to wait and see whether we can convince him. That'll be the first part, if we can get him in a room and convince him to sign forever. That'll be the first thing. We'll have to wait and see. The government have said today that fans could be back in stadiums by October if everything keeps going the way it's going. I don't know exactly what they mean by that because we've still got some cities in lockdown and the potential of a second wave. They're saying all things as they are could see fans back. We don't know what that means in terms of how many fans back. Would it be full stadiums? Would the way fans be allowed in? Would it be a small number of fans? How would that work? Would it just be seasoned ticker holders? Would there be a lottery system? Would Goddison Park even be considered to reopen with the facilities it has? Obviously it's a very old stadium. We'll have to wait and see but a lot of football fans will be quite happy with that. Probably thinking that it would be maybe closer to the end of the year or maybe possibly 2021. We'll have to wait and see this and it's a government making promise. It means absolutely nothing. We'll have to wait and see if it actually happens. It will give fans hope for the new season, which isn't that far away, let's be honest. Once we get done with this one it will only be five, six weeks before we start the new one. So we'll have to wait and see. Obviously after last night's 1-1 draw, Carl Angelotti's come out and showered praise on Jared Blanthwaite. Obviously he came in after about 15 minutes of the game when Mason Holgate went off. He said he's got a great future and he can be a fantastic player. And with Holgate probably out now for the last two games. Yet he means a big doubt as well. Why not put him in for the last two games of the season and let's see what else he can do. I thought he was fantastic last night under pressure. I thought he was good on the ball, he defended well. Yes of course he made mistakes, certainly giving away cheap free kicks for holding shirts and things like that. But he's a young lad and he's getting his first taste of Premier League football. This is a lad who came from Carlisle after only playing a handful of games for them. Praise indeed from Angelotti. He's already showed it, hasn't he Gordon? He'll put players in if he thinks you're good enough, he'll give you a chance. Big opportunity for the end of the season now for Jared Blanthwaite to ease himself into Premier League football. To start a game away from home and then start a game with Gouldersen. Yes there's no fans but that could be something that helps them as we move into next season. It could save Evan a lot of money. He's obviously left side as well which is a big bonus for us as well. And we've been obviously linked with Gabrielle who's a left footed centre back. This could save Evan a lot of money. And we could possibly put that money into areas where we really need it, like centre midfield. Seeing it with FFP problems and there is talk out there that Evan needs to get rid of a couple of players just to sort the wages out before they bring players in. But if we're not having to bring some players in because we've got the players like Blanthwaite then that's a massive bonus. So we'll see what happens on Monday when we play Sheffield United, whether he gets the start. I don't think there's any point in rushing players back now. There's nothing to play for but pride. I don't think we can go into the top half. I think the objectives now is not to lose 11th place as sad as that is. But that's it isn't it. So I'd certainly just give them a couple of starts if other players are injured. So we'll see what happens anyway. That's up to Carlo Antolotti. There you go. This has been the Everton News Daily.
