Royal Blue: Bramley-Moore key change, the future of Onyekuru and Gueye, and reminiscing about Tommy
Is confidence rising that Everton will deliver on a new stadium after a series of failed moves? And are the club softening their understandably cautious wording over Bramley-Moore?
They are the questions that kick-off the latest Royal Blue podcast, hosted as ever by our Everton FC correspondent Phil Kirkbride, and featuring head of sport Dave Prentice as well as Chris Beesley and Paul Wheelock.
Talk then turns to forgotten Blues forward Henry Onyekuru. There is hope the club will finally be granted a work permit for the Nigerian forward but the question is... is he needed? And how serious can you take his exploits in Turkey and Belgium?
The panel then discuss another Everton player who has slipped completely out of the picture, Luke Garbutt, who has this week been told to change position. Just why hasn't the left-back's career progressed as everyone thought?
Garbutt's future looks away from Goodison Park and judging by an interview he has given in France, so too could Idrissa Gueye. What will Marco Silva make of the midfielder's words?
If Gueye does go, he may not be as fondly remembered as Thomas Gravesen, who is the subject of a new book.
The panel share their favourite stories and memories about the Dane before Prenno tells a story about Gravesen's one-time midfield partner Alex Nyarko that beggars belief.
