The Royal Blue Podcast returns after a busy week for Everton in the transfer market.


On the same day that CSKA Moscow announced a £14m move for Nikola Vlasic, who spent last season on loan in Russia, Marcel Brands struck a £22m deal with Barcelona to sign Andre Gomes on a permanent deal.


With talks ongoing with the Portuguese international, guests Dave Prentice, Adam Jones and Gavin Buckland discuss his importance to Marco Silva's midfield as well as the savvy nature of Vlasic's sale.


Leighton Baines' new contract - confirmed on the same day as Vlasic and Gomes - is also discussed while attentions turn to Kurt Zouma and Chelsea's transfer ban.


ECHO Head of Sport Dave and Everton's official club statistician Gavin also provide a tantalising - and exciting - teaser on the proposed ground move to Bramley-Moore Dock.
