As Everton have seen a few departures this summer as a number of their key players’ contract situations are in the balance ahead of the new season, what can fans expect from their business for the remainder of the window, and which positions on the pitch, could they improve on?

00:00On Everton, in terms of their situation, transfers, we've obviously discussed it's been quite
00:08an issue for them throughout the summer. They started with a few good deals and then it
00:12sort of petered out. They got a lot of that business done early on in the window. In terms
00:17of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, a player whose peak for Everton is fantastic for them, the fans
00:23love him. What's the sort of situation on his future and just generic transfers in general?
00:29Uncertain. I think Dominic Calvert-Lewin, until last year, his deal's on the table,
00:38still hasn't been signed. Will he be here before the transfer window closes? Look, Sean
00:46Ditey's been asked about him a couple of times now, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and let's just
00:51say he hasn't been on a charm offensive to keep him. He hasn't been saying the deal's
00:56there, we'd love to keep Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He's almost said if an offer comes in, every
01:02player has to price and Everton are in a situation now to turn down money. Look, from an FFP
01:09perspective, they would be making a lot of profit on Dominic Calvert-Lewin because he
01:14was brought in for, what, around £1m from Sheffield United. And if Everton lost him,
01:20I'm afraid he wouldn't be losing anything, really, on him. More than that, the money's
01:25worth, but this would be a really good financial deal for Everton. And if he stays the way
01:34he is, is he going to have his mind on his future? We know about his injury problems
01:41in the past couple of years. He's not going to want to go into a summer where he's free
01:46agent but he's injured because teams might not take the risk or he might not get the
01:51deal he wants. So, does he play within himself if he is to stay? On the other hand, what
02:02are his options? West Ham have signed a striker, Tottenham have signed a striker. Would he
02:09go to Arsenal where he would be a back-up? Man United have been mooted. Would he be playing
02:18there regularly? You've got Hoylands and they've signed Xherxey and Tony maybe they might come
02:23in for. It's an interesting one. With Calvert-Lewin, it really is. I don't think you could say
02:31if he'll stay or he'll go. In terms of other transfer options, I just said that he thinks
02:35it's unlikely they'll do any more business. I almost think he's just setting expectations
02:42of forever fans to prepare for the worst because we know they've grown five in so far but they
02:49still short in midfield. It might be busier and Sean Dyche is letting on to me towards
02:57the end of the winter.
