Royal Blue: Everton's PSG stance, Gueye's focus, and wanting Europa League football or not
The dust has settled on transfer deadline day and with our Everton FC correspondent Phil Kirkbride on a well-deserved day off, and our head of sport Dave Prentice also recharging the batteries, Paul Wheelock is your stand-in host for the latest Royal Blue podcast, and he is joined by Adam Jones, our Everton FC reporter, and Ian Croll, or View from the Gwladys Street podcast host.
Adam is fresh back from Marco Silva's pre-Wolves press conference and he gives us all the major talking points discussed by the Blues boss, which are then expanded upon by the panel.
Idrissa Gueye's will remain at Everton until the summer at least after the club stood firm in the face of two bids for the midfielder from European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain.
Adam and Ian are delighted by the way the Blues refused to be pressured into selling Gueye, who is a fitness doubt for Saturday's visit of Wolves to Goodison Park.
But Paul wonders whether the Senegal international's focus is right, given his well-documented desire to join PSG, and anyway, does Tom Davies deserve to lose his place given the way he played against Huddersfield on Tuesday night?
Everton lost two left-backs at the John Smith's Stadium and it means that Jonjoe Kenny is set to play out of position there on Saturday.
Victory over Wolves would, in all likelihood, move the Blues up to seventh. But does the club want Europa League football?
Adam and Ian have their say before all three give their predictions for the clash with the men from Molineux.
