00:00Well, on to Everton and in terms of their summer window.

00:06Now, we've mentioned it's going to be, you know, a lot of change,

00:09a lot of decisions to be made from Moyes and his team as to who stays.

00:13You know, so many players on the edge of their contracts expiring as well.

00:18How do they sort of navigate?

00:19You know, we mentioned the priorities of keeping that core group to try and make a big push

00:24because, you know, at the end of the day, they've been really struggling down the bottom

00:28with the Premier League for too long now for Everton standards.

00:31And Moyes has come in and, you know, he signed the contract

00:34and he's made sure it's a good length contract as well to really push Everton forward.

00:38You know, the new stadium, so much is changing at the club.

00:41They don't want to be settling for less this season, you know, next season.

00:45They want to really make a, you know, a strong push.

00:47And the summer is so important for them.

00:50Yeah, it's going to be, we've discussed a few times,

00:53it's going to be an interesting summer.

00:55It's going to be interesting in terms of what funds are going to be available.

00:59Now, we know that Everton have complied with PSR for the latest accounts.

01:05So they don't have to worry about that.

01:07But they still have to be careful.

01:08They can't go out and obviously spend money like they have done in the past.

01:13So David Moyes is going to have to try and prioritise.

01:17He's going to maybe have to come to a couple of compromises as well

01:20when it comes to his recruitment, as we say, Eleven.

01:22I think it's 13, very hard.

01:24Now it's a contract now.

01:27The current squad, 12 or 13.

01:30But regardless, it's a lot of players, isn't it?

01:33And you're going to have to try and keep some of those.

01:38You're going to have to, without a doubt, try and keep some of those.

01:41Do you try and tie down just a gallon of gay?

01:44I think everyone would say yes, you have to,

01:46because he's been so important.

01:47And Abdullahi Dekore, I know some supporters would like Everton to move on,

01:52but he is part of a core group.

01:55And you've got to have a squad and you've got to have players that you can rely on.

01:59And that's something that every Everton manager seems to do.

02:05Jack Harrison has had a disappointing season, one goal, no assists.

02:13But he is Premier League proven.

02:16Can David Boyd get more out of him than Sean Dykes did?

02:20Because there is a player there from what he did at Leeds.

02:23And he's had a couple of good games in Nottingham Forest and Man City.

02:28So there's decisions to make.

02:31And as you say, it's a balancing act.

02:33If you get rid of these players, who else can you bring in?

02:36Who else can you bring in for the money and the wages?

02:39Because if you got rid of, say, an Abdullahi Dekore,

02:42could you get two players in who are on his current wages?

02:45Or do you try and offer him a longer-term deal for more security?

02:49But it might not be as much as Lucas or Fim financially.

02:55And you can go and stretch your budget a little bit more.

02:58So there's all these different things for David Moyes and his recruitment staff to consider.
