Video summary

Everton concluded their preseason campaign with a 1-1 draw against Lille at Hill Dickinson Stadium, a result that many felt was unlucky given the Toffees' dominance for most of the match. The team displayed a youthful and energetic spirit, particularly in the midfield and attack, having taken an early lead through a penalty converted by Yerry Mina after Gini Wijnaldum fouled the Lille keeper. Despite numerous missed chances from players like Ellis Simms and Stanley Arum, who were denied by saves or poor decision-making, the visitors eventually equalized in stoppage time. The match also highlighted a new rule regarding goalkeeper possession, which saw Jordan Pickford penalized for holding the ball too long; while this early punishment was seen as a potential target for referees this season, it ultimately served as a decent finish to the pre-season friendly. Looking ahead to the upcoming campaign, there is significant optimism surrounding the emergence of young talents such as Tyler Dibling, Teddy George, Harrison Armstrong, Hayden Hackney, and Amadou Onana. However, the transfer window remains a complex puzzle for the club, with Everton currently linked to several high-profile moves that face logistical and financial hurdles. The most notable rumor involves former striker Richarlison returning to Goodison Park, though sources suggest his current club has rejected bids, leaving uncertainty over whether a deal can be struck before the deadline closes. Additionally, while there is interest in signing right-back Liam Delap from Chelsea, the asking price of 50 million pounds and Newcastle's involvement make an immediate transfer unlikely, suggesting any move might only happen closer to the window's expiration or via a loan arrangement. The squad's structure presents further challenges regarding winger positions, as the club currently has four wingers but is linked with additional targets like Abdoulaye Doucouré and Munir from Crystal Palace. Integrating another wide player would require either selling an existing winger or utilizing players like Munir in a wing-back role, adding another layer of negotiation to the transfer saga. Financial prudence also plays a major role, as the club operates within a strict budget and may prefer younger players on free transfers or cheaper deals over expensive 30-year-olds who would only be available for two or three years. Consequently, while there is plenty of speculation regarding potential signings like Jack Grealish and Munir, most experts believe significant movement will not occur until after the Bournemouth game, when the true market value and availability of players become clearer. Beyond transfer rumors, the video concludes with important updates on fixture changes for October and November, which have shifted several match dates and kick-off times. Everton's trip to Hull City has been rescheduled to take place on Sunday, October 11th at 2:00 p.m., while the home clash against Chelsea remains set for Saturday, October 17th but will now start at 12:30 p.m. Furthermore, the away game against Newcastle United has been moved to a Monday night fixture on November 2nd at 8:00 p.m., continuing the club's unfortunate trend of hosting midweek or evening games against the Magpies. Despite these scheduling adjustments and the ongoing transfer market uncertainty, fans are encouraged to maintain patience as the club navigates the final days of the window, aiming to secure necessary reinforcements without breaking the bank before the season officially begins.

Welcome to Toffee TV. It is the Everton news daily. Everton played their final preseason game on Saturday drawing 1-1 with Lille at Hill Dickinson Stadium. It was really unlucky to be honest because Everton deserved to win the game. Uh dominated for most of the game apart from sort of the end where lots of subs were made. Um Great to see a youthful energetic side in midfield and going forward. Uh and obviously Everton got the lead when they Everton won a penalty. Gini Wijnaldum won a penalty and Yerry Mina converted it. Uh but there's more so many more chances. Ellis Simms uh made the keeper make a fantastic save. Uh Stanley Arum So should have buried one in the second half one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Should have just stroked it home and decided to go for some weird curling effort that ended up in the South Stand. Um And Asmir put a fantastic ball across the box which was begging for someone to to tap in. Um And it wasn't until all those changes were made and and 90 2 minutes and plus 30 seconds that Lille got a goal. Um which really can't really understand why he played the extra time after already getting the 2 minutes cuz nothing had happened. But uh it was a good one out. It also saw one of the new rules um shown off as well with Jordan Pickford holding onto the ball for too long and it led to Lille winning a corner from that. Uh that's a new rule put in this year. It will be very interesting to see whether it'll be one of those August rules that uh you know that gets gets used heavily and then suddenly starts fading away. But it is one of those rules and of course Everton Everton first. Uh we saw the first. But you know what? Not the worst thing in the world for Jordan Pickford to be punished for that quite early on because I think he'll be a target this season for referees because there's been a lot of a lot of stuff over the last few seasons about Jordan Pickford time wasting. Um he doesn't do it any more than any other goalkeeper, but once again, you know, he is picked out. So, it's not a bad thing that on the you know, the his first game of preseason and our last last game of preseason that it was picked up on. So, it's one that uh it's one that'll be very interesting this season. Although, the referee didn't really do a countdown or anything. He just blew the whistles and whistle and said he'd been time wasting. So, um they are supposed to do a countdown to let the goalkeepers know, but but he didn't do that. So, a decent draw to finish out the preseason. I think there's a lot of optimism going into the season now with a lot of those younger players. I think um the emergence of Tyler Dibling in the last couple of weeks looking like the player that we bought. Teddy George, Harrison Armstrong in there as well. Uh Hayden Hackney. Amadou Onana as well, even though he played at right back. I think there's there is a lot of optimism and if Everton can finish off the window um getting you know, a couple of deals over the line. Certainly, you know, the right back. We'll certainly a right back, not another right back. We're getting a right back would uh would would would really just help us out to be honest. And Everton have been linked today with a move for Richarlison the former Everton striker. This has come from a good space source um saying that they space have rejected the bid for him. Um I think it's no secret and I think even the Xavi alluded to this a couple of weeks about Richarlison knowing where he wants to go. And I think where he wants to go is Everton. Now, whether Everton have got any real serious interest in him, not sure. Maybe maybe this could be one that if it's a decent deal or a loan, we'll have to wait and see on that. Um It's a It's a It is a real difficult one cuz Everton have got four wingers. Everton Would Everton have to then sell a striker? Well, Everton again linked with Liam Delap again heavily as well. Um New Chelsea wants 50 million for the player. Newcastle also being linked to them. I just can't see how that's going to happen. Como have gone were in for the player. Um but it looks like it looks like they're going to get Moise Kean now off the Everton former Everton striker. So, he obviously wants to stay in the Premier League. David Moyes likes Liam Delap. But again, that might be something closer to the deadline again. Something that maybe if no one comes in for him, Chelsea will look to to get a a loan for him. And it does suggest that Everton won't won't go for any of these players till closer to the window closing. After we've played our first two games, and we sort of know where we are. Um I still think there's going to be there could be a a bit of movement. Um we'll have to wait and see. But Richarlison being linked and obviously we saw Jack Grealish yesterday as well playing for Manchester City uh the second half of the Community Shield. This is first game time since getting injured for Everton in December. Um But that's sort of another one where it's Man City apparently want to sell. Everton don't want to buy. And again, I think it'll come down to how close we get to that window and if anyone blinks first. I just can't see anyone coming in for Jack and he's not in the Premier League. And we'll see what happens, but I don't think that's going to happen within the next 10 days or so. I don't think anything's going to happen till after the Bournemouth game, and then it might suddenly start hotting up [snorts] again. But Everton But as Everton fans, we we all just want to bite back, don't we? Everton have been linked with Abdoulaye Doucouré, a winger as well, 20 20 year-old Senegalese winger today. But again, it's that question. Everton have got four wingers. How do we How do we fit another one in? How does that all play out? We'll have to We'll have to wait and see. One player that we have been linked with is Munir from Palace. Looked like he was saying his farewells after their friendly on Saturday. Now, he has been linked with a move to Spurs as well, and if it it seems that talk of him moving to Everton might might be cooled a little bit as Everton see him more as a wing-back. I think he's a fantastic player. But Everton are you know, working within a budget. He is 30. And it might be looked at that if Everton are going to go for someone of that age, they might be looking to bring someone in on a free or someone for half that amount as the player would probably only be around for two to three years, so maybe that one has come and gone now. There are fixture changes for October and November. Everton's trip to Hull City will now take place on Sunday, the 11th of October. That is a 2:00 p.m. kickoff. Everton's home game against Chelsea remains on Saturday, the 17th of October, but the kickoff is now 12:30 and Everton's trip to Newcastle on the 2nd of November is now a Monday night 8:00 p.m. game. We always seem to get Newcastle midweek or or or on an evening. Um I don't know what it is, but every year just seems to be to be the same. Um Although we did beat them last year on a Saturday. So, um there you go. Changes already. We thankfully have not got a Monday night game so far at Hill Dickinson and all our games so far are on a Saturday and a Sunday. Long may that continue.
