Phil Kirkbride's Pre-Season Diary #7: Marco Silva's transfer message and Dominic Calvert-Lewin's No 9 aim

Welcome to the seventh entry into our Everton FC correspondent Phil Kirkbride's pre-season tour diary. Whereas our last podcast was positively upbeat after the club unveiled designs for their new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock, the back-to-back defeats to Sevilla and Mainz in the Opel Cup, combined with a lack of activity in the transfer market, means this, our latest offering on the Royal Blue podcast channel, is more downbeat. Not that you can read too much in pre-season, but as Phil makes clear, Blues boss Marco Silva believes there is a lot of work to be done and off the pitch before the season gets under way at Crystal Palace on August 10. But will there be enough time to do it? Phil discusses that, analyses Silva's honest and candid post-match interview, and reveals Dominic Calvert-Lewin's aim after returning to training.
