For a couple of hours on Saturday, Everton looked as though their pre-season had burst into life. Then they played against AFC Bournemouth.

The 3-0 loss to the Cherries was a blow, although ahead of the game the Blues saw developments on a couple of potential new transfers.

Adam Aznou is now poised to join from Bayern Munich. There is also an interest in Malick Fofana from Lyon.

Matt and Paddy look through those talking points and preview the week ahead in Chicago. Hopefully we will see as many of you as possible at AJ Hudson's ahead of the West Ham United game at Soldier Field!
