Everton’s threadbare squad set for pre-season amid need for additions

Join Ian Croll, Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas for the Monday edition of the Royal Blue podcast as they look ahead to the start of Everton's pre-season campaign this week. The Blues are set to kick off pre-season with an away trip to League Two side Accrington Stanley.  With limited options currently at his disposal, David Moyes will need to blend youth and experience in his first pre-season encounter back at the club.  With a number of senior players involved in International action over the summer and not yet back in the fold, this presents a chance for a number of  academy players to make their mark.  Just how will Everton line up? And is there any cause for concern, given how threadbare the squad is with so much work in the transfer mark still to be done?  Watch or listen to the latest Royal Blue podcast with all that and more.  Chris Beesley's Book: Spirit of the Blues: https://tinyurl.com/35yrkvdb *Emotional farewell to Goodison Park | 16-page Everton souvenir picture special:*  https://shop.regionalnewspapers.co.uk/liverpool-echo-monday-19th-may-2025-4583-p.asp *Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:*  https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir *Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here:* https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.
