Join Ian Croll and Joe Thomas for Friday’s Royal Blue Podcast as they discuss the latest news coming out of Everton on Deadline Day as well as preview Saturday’s encounter with Bournemouth!  Everton are set to do business on the final day of the summer transfer window. A deal for Orel Mangala is set to be completed and would become the Blues’ seventh signing of the summer. Elsewhere, there is the potential for further intrigue. Dominic Calvert-Lewin could become one of the biggest stories of the day should a club test the water for the forward.  Out of contract next summer and yet to sign on fresh terms, a serious bid for the 27-year-old would force Everton to weigh up the value of an incoming fee against the risk of losing the club’s main forward.

Everton’s summer fitness drive has been punctured by injuries. The best performance of pre-season so far was built on the return of a number of key stars as the Blues achieved a comfortable victory over Preston North End. But it was also an afternoon marred by new fitness concerns. There were several absences as Sean Dyche acted with caution as he sought to protect his squad. With just under a fortnight to go until the start of the Premier League season, with Brighton & Hove Albion set for Goodison Park on August 17, here is an overview of the condition of the Everton squad. In Monday’s Royal Blue Show, Ian Croll, Joe Thomas and Gav Buckland discuss all of the above.  Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Today's Royal Blue Podcast features Joe Thomas, Chris Beesley & Gav Buckland. Everton have been charged with a further breach of spending regulations by the Premier League.The club was today formally notified of new allegations after a review of the accounts for the football financial year that ended last summer. Everton now have a fortnight to respond to the accusations, which are expected to end up before an independent commission that will aim to assess the case before the end of this season. The only thing that could impact that process would be if the club has significant success in its appeal against the 10 point deduction it has already received under the same regulations. The club's focus is on that appeal, believing its findings will directly impact the arguments at the centre of the new case. It is anticipated the appeal will be concluded before the new case is considered. If Everton are ultimately found to have breached profit and sustainability regulations again then the club could face a further points deduction this season, though other sanctions would also be available to the ruling panel.

Host Chris Beesley returns from Selhurst Park with Joe Thomas to discuss Everton's FA Cup third round controversy alongside regular guest Gavin Buckland. Everton have launched an appeal against the red card handed to Dominic Calvert-Lewin against Crystal Palace. The forward was sent off amid controversy in the FA Cup third round at Selhurst Park after referee Chris Kavanagh was ordered to review his challenge on Nathaniel Clyne. Kavanagh had seen no issue with the incident in real-time but, predictably, reversed his call once he was sent to the pitch side monitor. It was a contentious decision that has sparked outrage inside and outside the Everton camp. And while the Blues were still able to fight through the adversity and take the game to a replay it will have serious consequences for the club. Host Chris Beesley returns from Selhurst Park with Joe Thomas to discuss Everton's FA Cup third round controversy alongside regular guest Gavin Buckland.

Everton's run in the Carabao Cup ended in heartbreak after losing to a penalty shootout in the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Fulham. Penalty misses from Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gana Gueye saw the Cottagers prevail 7-6. Despite the cup exit, manager Sean Dyche hailed his team’s performance and refused to criticise Onana despite a tame effort. In the latest Royal Blue podcast Ian Croll & Connor O’Neill discuss yet another disappointing cup exit and that now infamous Onana penalty. Watch the Royal Blue podcast live on YouTube https://bit.ly/3aNfYav or Facebook https://bit.ly/3RooT9A.

Abdoulaye Doucoure has netted 15 times for Everton in his century of matches, giving him an overall strike rate of a goal every 6.67 games. However, 11 of those goals have come in the last 26 matches, to produce a goal every 2.36 matches, an incredible rate for a midfielder, especially when you consider that the Blues’ main striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 50 Premier League goals have been over 193 appearances, for a goal every 3.86 games. Other than being Everton’s “Johnny on the spot” as Dyche has called him – Doucoure was again in the right place at the right time to stick the ball in the net against the Londoners after Calvert-Lewin’s initial shot was saved – just how has his game actually altered since the change of management at Goodison Park? Ian Croll and Chris Beesley sit down for the third Royal Blue podcast of the week to discuss all things Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Mauricio Pochettino insisted Chelsea were the better side at Goodison Park despite losing 2-0 to Everton. Second half goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin gave Sean Dyche’s men a third successive win and if it wasn’t for the club’s 10-point deduction – the heaviest sporting penalty in the 135-year history of English top flight football – Everton would now be four points clear of the big-spending west London club in the Premier League table. However, their Argentinian head coach maintained his team were the superior outfit. In tonight's Royal Blue Podcast, Ian Croll and Matt Jones talk over Everton's second home win in as many games and discuss the Chelsea manager's comments.
