Royal Blue: One that got away, memories of a Blues great, and the new kit deal

With the end of the final international break of the season here at long last, the Royal Blue podcast returns to look ahead to the Saturday tea-time clash with West Ham and much more else besides. Host Phil Kirkbride gets us under way by asking Dave Prentice, Adam Jones and Gav Buckland to pick the one Hammers player they would like to see in the Royal Blue shirt. Ronald Koeman was interested in signing Marko Arnautovic when he was Everton boss but walked away from a deal because of wages. Did the Blues miss a trick? A trip to West Ham, of course, means talking about the London Stadium, and the panel share their experiences of the Hammers' home ground and why they hope the Blues see the warning signs. Talk then turns to the new multi-year contract with kit supplier Umbro, shirt sales, global presence and comparing the deal with other clubs. Tim Cahill announced his retirement this week, and the lads pick their favourite moment from his Everton career, then name the one player out on loan who has to be brought back to the club in the summer, before rounding off another must-listen podcast by previewing the new documentary Two Tribes, which is aired after the West Ham match.
