With Phil Kirkbride, Adam Jones and Dave Prentice on holiday – not together, we think – there is a new-look line-up for our latest Royal Blue podcast, which is hosted by Sam Carroll and features Chris Beesley and Paul Wheelock.
The trio start by looking at Everton’s Premier League fixtures , which were released 24 hours earlier.
All three are confident the Blues can get off to a flying start – providing very recent history doesn’t repeat itself – and negotiate what looks a very tricky December.
The pre-season fixtures are also out – at last – but have Everton missed a trick by not going on a tour of America?
Chris reckons they have – and he’s also surprised a special Goodison Park match has not been announced yet.
Talk then turns to Andre Gomes’ proposed move to the Blues , and what the midfielder needs to do more of if he does indeed join the club on a permanent basis, and why, if that happens, it would be a signal of intent.
Also on the agenda are kits – namely where the new home one is and what age is too old to buy replica shirts – and the latest update on Bramley-Moore Dock .
And the podcast rounds off with a look at how the transfer window is covered by publications like the ECHO, and why many things have changed, some things have not. Enjoy.
