 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Lucadine has said that he is, he and the Everton players are working really hard to capture their early season form. Again, the Blues have slumped ever since that Derby defeat really back at the start of December. Just three wins in 12 games for Everton and the French left back has said that he and his teammates are working really hard to try to rediscover the form. He said it's important that we stay together with the fans and turn it round. We have the quality in the squad to do better and we have two huge games coming up against Cardiff City and then obviously the Merseyside Derby. Lucadine has been probably our player of the season so far, he's been absolutely fantastic. He's up there, he's got better stats than any left back in the Premier League and one of the best left backs in Europe stats wise for what he's done this season. I suppose what this break has done will have given the players almost an opportunity to just forget about the games and start concentrating on cutting out the silly errors. Hopefully, I think they added a few days off to recharge the batteries but we've got to come back strong against Cardiff City on Tuesday night, a big, big game and we need the three points. The victory day will then settle nicely for what will be a very tough Merseyside Derby, go to some of the following Sunday. Let's hope Lucadine's right and the players are working hard and can go out and rediscover the form because September to November we play some really good stuff and look at the real threat. We have to get that back into our game and start winning some games as well. New today that Everton have been named as the favourite to sign Salomon Rondon from West Brom and Jalbion. The Venezuelan striker is on loan at Newcastle this season. He scored six goals, not a prolific goal scorer but a good target man. It'll be interesting to see whether there's anything in this. Is he the type of striker you want Everton to sign? I think probably not in terms of prolificness in front of goal but he is a good target man and he's very, very difficult to get the ball off when it's knocked into me. For me he'd be a good backup striker I would say but the quality we should be after should be a lot higher I would say personally than Rondon. In interest I wonder Everton are actually the favourites ahead of Newcastle. They've got the player at the minute to sign them so I have to see what happens there. For my Everton midfielder John Collins has said that Andre Gomez is benefiting from the thoughtful coach Marco Silver. He said that Gomez is very much a modern-day midfielder and he likes watching Everton when Gomez is on the pitch, he likes the way he gets on the ball. Doesn't tackle a lot but that's what modern-day midfield players are all about now. It's getting on the ball and trying to dictate and he feels as though Andre Gomez does that for Marco Silver's side and said that obviously having the coach, the confidence of the coach is helping Gomez to turn in some good performances. Gomez starting to pick up a little bit of late after having started off fantastically well, had a little bit of a dip but his performances have later been getting a bit better. I just think maybe we just need to get the make-up of that midfield right to compliment what Andre Gomez is and I think if we could sign him permanently obviously the room is the other day that Marcel Brands is flying out of Barcelona or his plans to fly out of Barcelona and sort out the deal. Get a good pre-season under Andre Gomez and set him up for next season. I think this year the benefit of playing in the Premier League will do him good going forward but again we'll have to wait and see whether Everton do make it permanently but all the noises coming out of Everton and certainly coming from sources in Spain are that Everton want to sign a player and the player wants a sign for Everton so again I watch this space I suppose. Finally Anders Lindpar has revealed that he was a boy of blue, something that we knew but maybe not everybody knew. He actually said when he signed for Arsenal, when he come over from Sweden at one of the journalists said that you must be delighted he was a boy of Arsenal fan and he said no, I'm an Evertonian but I'm obviously signing for Arsenal and he also said that he should never have left Everton and he said when he left he wasn't playing as much as he should have done or he felt he should have been. In 1997 Everton offered him a new three-year contract and because he wasn't in the team and he was a little bit homesick he wanted to go back to Sweden he turned down the contract and he said but he was the biggest regret he said of his career that he didn't sign another contract for Everton and play for another couple of seasons. He was a fantastic footballer and Anders Lindpar, obviously part of our 1995 FA Cup winning side. He was just brilliant, him on one side, Cintelsius on the other side was absolutely fantastic and I loved watching him. Obviously one of the biggest games he played in for us was that Wimbledon game, he gave a penalty away and then he won us a penalty to cancel it out but yeah, what a fantastic player and he definitely left Everton too soon. He said he went alone to Birmingham and he didn't know why he did that but that was the end of him in England but yeah, who knows if he'd stayed for another couple of years, who knows what would have happened but what can you do, that's all gone. That's it, it's a slow news week really as we build up to Card of City next week.
