Are things finally starting to look up for Everton? They have their second win of pre-season and two players look to be on their way in.
Christian Norgaard and Alistair Johnston both offer relief in areas of the squad which require a lot of love. But are they anything other than stop-gap solutions?
We also talk Jack Grealish’s situation, pre-season press trips and Merlin Rohl making a case to start the season in the XI.
