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. 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.
