1:43
for barcelona first of all and has it been
1:45
seen in spain
1:47
yeah absolutely it's cern
1:49
one of most headline grabbing deals
1:51
are the summer i'm it became quite
1:53
clear towards the end the season that love in dusky wanted
1:56
out barcelona have kissed him for
1:58
quite some time he's quite like the idea then
2:00
spends well i'm aren't
2:02
this aren't this taken a bit time just to get the know
2:04
the right offer into by in what they would accept
2:06
than and finally it's been done and
2:09
again it's just part of the summer the a transfer
2:12
some of that really feel boss have
2:14
been the absolute headline
2:16
the absolute centre of everything and
2:19
given their financial situation
2:21
so they finally got their man but the
2:23
name is not without its problems not without it's
2:25
controversy am ,
2:28
obviously her spin and several playoffs
2:30
right now to make sure that they can make the science
2:33
whether they can read them let down the line will be
2:35
another thing and this talk
2:37
is hop of never notice i don't think we'll ever had
2:39
the the word lever so much but
2:41
ah yeah yeah so their party or announced the
2:43
ad second lemme thursday or friday would
2:45
basically it's basically means it's a full agreement
2:48
with them six straight far as three
2:50
hundred thirty million euros am
2:52
it will take a lot of pressure
2:54
basically of their am
2:56
financials as even talk and the gun
2:58
activists that lever as well which see them
3:00
cel asked ninth or forty nine percent of
3:02
boss studios build you give them more
3:05
room to maneuver in terms of make and further
3:07
silenced and on a a
3:09
coon death and we've been a stigma live in the shore
3:11
is is one of those players they mentioned am
3:14
and it also allows them to read the players that they've
3:16
already signed like front coffee and
3:18
andreas christensen not in love and dusk himself
3:21
roughing up lives like that am so
3:23
yes it's not going down well
3:25
outside of aslan bosland phones very excited
3:27
they got some new players some very very
3:30
good new players as well but
3:32
you know people are open arms about how
3:34
they are allowed to do this as every other club
3:36
around other globe seems to globe struggling to
3:38
earth and he noted to get players in selfless
3:41
but basra i just carrying on am
3:43
like they've got an unlimited put money basically
3:46
and india's most served by munich
3:48
fans may be forgiven for asking
3:51
of , the plays his contracts with with
3:54
likely to end of work with ends next
3:56
season two why how ah
3:59
by unity being allowed to let go
4:02
there iconic striker is
4:04
an interesting description of him iconic
4:06
are don't think it's an unfair one
4:08
at all but the reaction in munich
4:11
the hose postscript
4:14
sent live in dusky departure is interesting
4:16
i think because we're
4:18
a bit of a a big push back mail
4:20
wise earlier in the summer
4:24
like going like going to probably towards
4:26
the end of last season where
4:29
i described live in dusky as
4:32
respected but not loved
4:34
by on
4:36
the the similar situation
4:38
at dortmund when
4:41
he was a he was on the way from from
4:43
there but i think we've seen
4:45
from the way that by and fans have reacted
4:48
from the way the media in munich
4:51
as reacted it
4:54
was always gonna be the easy sell to the
4:56
fans actually to to let live
4:58
in dusky go rather than let
5:01
the law or
5:03
neuer guy few you talking about a quarter
5:05
aren't you at as of of mana neuer
5:08
staunton the
5:11
eleven dusky and and cannot bring
5:13
your out of contract in in twenty twenty three
5:15
now i think that there's an overlap
5:18
between the kidnapper
5:20
extension the legend
5:22
of he departs is interesting because with to
5:24
talk about it before house the my
5:27
end up using especially with saudi
5:29
money coming in at my end
5:31
up using a kidnapper he as
5:33
a centre forward i could see
5:35
that happening in something that
5:38
i think novels man would be ah
5:41
why i'm interested in in in
5:43
doing it it doesn't feel like they're gonna
5:45
go out and buy mega striker the
5:47
like for like replacement for
5:50
sets eleven dusky and that there was a lot
5:52
of suing and froing with the can
5:54
every situation particularly
5:56
given the kinsey time i've received
5:58
a big new contract you're in a calendar
6:00
year which always meant i'm gonna have to
6:02
push about african athletes the
6:04
age wise felt like
6:07
the right thing to do now
6:09
he's playing for about twenty five percent less money
6:12
at barcelona that he was a
6:14
time but level dusky made it clear
6:16
that it was important to him in terms
6:18
of a lifestyle choice for his family
6:20
in terms of sport in challenge
6:22
for him the fact that is
6:25
getting less money is money is because
6:27
because he doesn't need the money say
6:29
to that he is swimming pool or whatever but
6:31
at this level money implement risks
6:33
as my it's importance of course
6:36
the fact that he would have been getting just an extra
6:38
year so two years
6:41
so this season coming and the season
6:43
after have been on the same
6:45
money that's really what
6:47
upsetting that upsetting that wasn't really
6:49
a huge recognition of of
6:51
of what he's done whereas basilan
6:54
are offering something you and fast and
6:56
they can a pain for years worth of money had
6:59
when you think of the tax breaks as well the
7:02
that's not something that was the it was pretty
7:04
good for him
7:05
so
7:06
that is the first time really the i saw
7:09
we're going to be pain and city so yeah he's
7:13
amazing now there's no doubt about
7:15
that but that's quite a long time
7:17
to project forward to someone who's
7:20
already in their mid thirties so i think
7:22
this is why
7:24
a lot retrospectively
7:27
it makes a lot of sense i think
7:29
yeah think if you look at it with love indoor ski as well
7:32
he's been trying to facilitate this move since what
7:34
was the twentieth aim if i had pennies a hobby
7:37
as being something that you been flirting
7:39
with a thing for quite some time i think said before
7:42
you moved by and from
7:44
dot many other he said he he nearly move real
7:46
madrid them but that transfer fell through
7:48
for every isn't the undergoing to
7:50
buy and put the has been a a continuous
7:52
flattish nothing can again a players in to
7:55
walk on the is mentioned that that by
7:58
and funds
7:59
that
7:59
the only they're going to be you know devastated over this
8:02
obviously you lose the amount of gold it's a bit it's a big
8:04
big loss but i think there are the by
8:06
and move and on i think they're they're moving on
8:08
to me that are the sons of they've made as well and
8:11
the perspective that they've got with them sign young players
8:13
exciting players that sit in on and they're
8:16
young coaches at mold and
8:18
style i think is really important will get
8:20
onto my is the leaked later on as well
8:23
and again at discourse sure that the direction
8:25
that by in that go on and on then botha
8:28
a gone in another one short
8:31
term by in a look and a bit more long time
8:34
syracuse are moving the across
8:36
europe m one strike of
8:38
the mental about for quite some time
8:40
and are you a big fan of is andy as
8:43
part of the bottom moving at
8:45
now to roma up
8:47
a sign of the time to record a
8:50
year think it is really don't because
8:53
the you looked at him at the the start of the summer
8:55
he think he's gonna have his his pictures of
8:57
of whereas us but the fact that
8:59
he starts with one
9:02
club expectation
9:03
the
9:04
juan wage expectations
9:07
and the two of those he gradually diminished thing
9:09
as quite interesting i think we've seen
9:11
this summer not just the bala
9:14
enter a policy he's still free
9:18
as as as as we record
9:20
they send as suspect a still will be
9:22
both on you listen to it and
9:24
pull papa didn't have didn't ton of office out
9:26
there either and as is
9:28
as had to take care of care small white
9:30
shot as well i he is really interesting
9:33
you looking at these players who
9:35
are superstars i know
9:37
people will wonder about the lottery but you
9:39
know yet a hundred million euro release clause
9:41
in his contract and you know that's the sort of money
9:43
that people were talking about him for long time consistent
9:46
goal scorer apart as italy or you're
9:48
twenty twenty etc etc i
9:52
think this feels like the first
9:54
big post pandemic
9:56
transfer window really we've got
9:58
free agents who be
10:00
snapped up in february
10:03
normally and here they are that
10:05
quickly unemployed if we like because their previous
10:08
contacts have run out on on june thirtieth
10:10
sense and they're still negotiating
10:12
something now eating ah don't think they're going to be polite
10:15
, we live in dusky struggling for bills in in
10:17
in the meantime naspers pretty clear clear
10:19
it is unprecedented in
10:21
consecutive of freebies transfer freebies
10:24
now i guess the thing that really change things for a
10:26
d bala who's always seem to stay in italy
10:29
is the runway the cocky deal because
10:32
once into got him back on board
10:35
they do think about combining
10:38
the three the bar last lazzaro
10:40
le carr cool but i
10:42
guess they wanted she died and
10:45
that they have to look at their wage bill the same
10:47
as everyone else in a sitting mean in
10:49
love italian clubs us are
10:51
making cars and really this
10:53
is given roma the opportunity to see
10:56
to think football wise he's wise the best fit
10:58
a rhyme us i think him and tammy abraham
11:01
would be a terrific frontier much better
11:03
than and abraham and
11:05
santiago with santiago cellular will stay
11:07
is stay is pretty good pre season and it seems
11:09
there's more will them we suspected to
11:12
extend on on both sides again
11:14
which is perhaps affected
11:16
by seems really
11:18
not wanting scarred for life for him wage
11:21
, and and free wise which is partly
11:23
stay with fitness even
11:25
more seventy dollar and partly
11:28
today waves after
11:30
he wipe my budget some i think we can see
11:32
why he's coming down i
11:36
think by default the
11:38
ball am i have ended up making the right choice
11:40
because for the was david other know that you
11:42
it feels like it fits to me
11:44
no i think so adding roma had
11:46
to glaring issues last
11:49
season i'm one of those was
11:51
i think i think double pivot in there holding
11:54
midfield am i thought they were
11:56
very slow very loose it cost them
11:58
quite a lot in games were again the the
12:00
bottom quick a teams and slavs
12:02
one problem they had another one and
12:05
the ball as should be the solution to this
12:07
am i thought there were reports korean from
12:09
open play as well outside of set pieces outside
12:12
the ball situations they are thought they were very limited
12:14
i think the odds a bit as innovation
12:17
a bit of ingenuity their i'm mean on
12:20
a might be a game is dragon now
12:22
now eighty ninety minutes
12:24
they need or injury time and he's a so
12:26
a person who can produce
12:28
a magic that the through ball the person
12:30
gets tammy abraham running on that gets
12:33
pellegrini hours on you know if he stares when
12:35
and on am and wins them again
12:37
something is really really good signs not point of view
12:39
the and yeah i do think it's a
12:42
bad sign and i'm then he
12:44
you know i think it's about move forward the ball or as
12:46
well then in would have been i mean the
12:48
thing did look quite nice on paper
12:50
it has to be said you know the idea of to bala
12:53
and la copy of a thorough altogether i mean
12:55
don't get me wrong that sounds really exciting but
12:57
look we we all know the financial conditions that every
13:00
club is in right now the marina
13:02
report send the ball was told by
13:04
in the just a weird a few more days the
13:06
only player wanna hang out they they hung about
13:08
they they want to know that were their futures going to be
13:10
they want upon for the next season he is
13:12
one way around fall into the
13:14
cells go unanswered pst he doesn't want
13:16
to wait around for the deal to go through for him
13:18
to to move so i get that and
13:21
and clean the ring you had a word as well and it's
13:23
scary really interesting see that's always interesting see how
13:25
marine your worked with the player who's extremely creative
13:28
and free spirited like the bottom
13:30
yeah speaking of that i was
13:32
very keen on the cover
13:34
to era minister and like
13:36
they do know how to do very good cover that
13:39
of course we had that picture of a marine
13:41
you're showing he's triple ,
13:43
trophies tattooed with his sleeves rolled up
13:46
and died for a shot the tattoo of
13:48
deval the removed his goal celebration
13:50
on through his arm artsy love that was fantastic well
13:54
i don't know about each too bad thing
13:56
dot can see coming through here are the
13:58
surprise perhaps
13:59
is as much as you say
14:02
to pose pandemic transfer window
14:04
and the i wonder to what extent the
14:06
says something about the power of the premier
14:09
league and will come on to the premier league a
14:11
very shortly in this episode
14:13
of o t c but both
14:15
of these players am in terms of
14:18
the bala oh
14:20
the ebri that we mentioned earlier on
14:22
a you could argue eleven da skin or seem that
14:24
interested me from premier
14:26
league side can every i was
14:28
thinking of thinking particular and double
14:31
lab pads interests of national
14:33
you chelsea's you man united and
14:36
comes despite what you say about the
14:38
obama he
14:41
loves the premier league teams and
14:43
a you said he wants to stay in italy baby
14:45
was desperate for his own future
14:47
wanted to secure that one f didn't he take
14:49
one of the other office i
14:52
don't think the of is really whether i
14:54
think the taste is this
14:56
been keen , from the premier league
14:58
in in in the past and of course
15:01
he nearly ended up going to tottenham
15:04
is interested
15:06
interesting comanches united as
15:09
i think a big doubts about his his his
15:12
fitness and i think critically
15:14
about his durability in a premier
15:16
league contacts that's something that's
15:19
that's really affected the
15:21
market for him now of course
15:23
you can go out there and prove everyone wrong
15:25
left i think it's interesting reports
15:27
that and in
15:29
a roma contracts which
15:32
with various is
15:34
it is , started like a
15:36
super league contract the it sounds it's
15:38
very performance
15:41
related bonus heavy which
15:43
is is something that's a art a
15:45
device power as you get paper periods per
15:47
goal etc and if you on the
15:49
biggest plays in turkey see police other an end up
15:51
paying through the nice for you if if
15:54
you're injured the
15:56
other thing is interesting in the double
15:58
a contract has been reported is
16:00
a twenty million really close
16:02
by the back end of next season so
16:04
there's a get out if
16:07
romo don't qualify for the champions league
16:09
again which i think really really
16:11
matter same sex yeah this deal
16:14
like we say is is almost like
16:16
i'm it
16:19
is kind of like marriage of convenience really
16:22
if it feels as if they're the best
16:24
option out there for each other
16:26
for the moment and they're just going to see
16:29
how it goes what
16:31
about you go at u c k who
16:33
is going to psg on
16:36
loan from ream
16:38
ream understand why he took that but again
16:40
he had interest have from
16:42
premier league clubs he's ended up
16:44
at at psg they got
16:46
an option to buy him next season
16:49
but it does seem as if they're that
16:51
that this has been an arrangement of convenience
16:53
of the very least for both parties
16:57
yeah as a thing this is
16:59
the kill in a buffet recipe
17:02
isn't it because it's easy to forget that he
17:04
was lying to pst for year before
17:07
monique i bought him after appear cebu
17:09
about right off of of monaco i
17:13
think with the structure of the deal
17:16
is is quite important because i think we
17:18
can look at it and say ps you doing
17:20
things more sensibly that will pay what
17:22
he needed in between yeah rather than necessarily
17:24
and i great superstar and equity
17:27
case part of that as as as well
17:29
and but
17:32
i think is well it underlines
17:34
is or financial pressures that the there
17:36
and us and i got this loan over the
17:38
line by offering a a
17:40
bigger fi at the end of it if
17:43
they make it a , deal and
17:45
we do expect linzer to
17:47
make up make permanent deal ring
17:51
is easy to get when we say that psc of
17:53
have been pretty sensible this summer
17:55
still had to negotiate report or is an airplane
17:58
pay the buyout clause who routinely you're
18:00
like right after share next
18:03
year nice find we know they're not gonna go a business
18:05
or whatever but it is like
18:08
when they signed name or and about
18:10
pay and send some of the go to find some so far
18:12
as you balance since i've really got
18:14
to push about at keep him back in iraq
18:16
thing that keeps our what i'm spend much
18:18
as select hello kitty have resigned
18:22
the best striker in the world arguably the
18:24
best player in the world on mega
18:26
money south dakota be careful the
18:28
com go out there and god knows where is it
18:30
can see guys interesting cause of course you
18:32
can so what they first
18:35
started a lot of money and obe
18:37
it again in various stages
18:39
with bonuses and all the rest of it
18:41
now he never seen sold on it i
18:44
because i think he looked at it in january
18:46
and so well i'm
18:49
going to be playing for top flight team next season because
18:51
our in real trouble then be
18:53
, they sold it to him on
18:56
you can be the future so thinking how much
18:58
am i gonna play because i want to play
19:00
now because he's because player
19:02
who can
19:04
influence big games we've seen him score away
19:07
when is more say at lille goals
19:10
in big games is
19:13
that kind of player and
19:15
then i think the other part of it is once you get
19:18
to this summer once he knows this interest
19:20
and psg from buying
19:21
dortmund
19:23
then you can so millions start to mean
19:25
less because those a big names that
19:27
would fi the imagination of someone who's
19:29
ambitious and is just turned
19:32
, nine quite an atypical profile
19:34
of strachey look at the size of and i think he can get
19:36
better in the air is already decent
19:38
are holding the ball up and can run the channels as
19:40
well as quit he gets
19:42
himself into very central positions
19:45
to to score goals and
19:47
he will provide them with something a little
19:49
bit different he can see them him dovetailing
19:52
quite nicely with impact paper
19:55
i think the premier league would have
19:57
been an obvious spot for for him
19:59
afford [unk]
19:59
really
20:01
very very hard to to
20:03
say no to to to pst especially
20:05
when the vision for the how the going to play
20:08
him and a sporting director what de facto
20:10
sporting director in lose campus
20:12
he's got a great reputation for
20:14
developing
20:42
what is the sound of another on

21:36
of features, you're welcome just
21:39
remembers when you hit the big time
21:48
it's
21:49
not just strikers are on the move across
21:51
it erupts now david said
21:53
the centre backs as well
21:56
i think the whole movement
21:58
of centre backs in between the governor
22:00
across your group has been predicated
22:03
by one centre back antonio
22:05
bru to get leaving at
22:07
chelsea to go to spain and then
22:09
intriguing have lots of others along
22:12
the way i am but medusa over
22:14
that theory
22:16
yeah that's an interesting one certainly and you
22:18
know just look how much money that it's gonna
22:20
cost chelsea to essentially replace him i'm
22:23
ah you know i think andreas christensen with somebody
22:25
who is always on the fringes there but ruediger was very
22:27
much you know that one of the beaten
22:29
path that scene but you know you know the smaller the
22:31
already got coulibaly and they're probably
22:33
gonna spend green fifty
22:36
sixty million on another defend
22:38
their either keep them there are
22:40
coon there and saw that will
22:42
be interesting to see how chelsea react
22:44
to that will in terms of i
22:46
think my is the left and and by and
22:48
i think you know again we touched on it earlier and
22:51
just about how them which you know how much they are
22:53
looking a few to know they
22:56
want a good young call in not
22:58
team they ,
23:01
the lakes as that eventually that long term
23:03
success afford them an alibi who hasn't
23:05
been replaced the know i
23:08
think properly am i think
23:10
they want and of intellect in or when he
23:12
is confident when his own his game very
23:14
vocal as game leader and
23:17
and i think it's somebody the by and want
23:19
to really really helped lead the team create
23:21
lead new spring i think
23:24
am so image has been somebody who
23:26
the know you've been interested in him for
23:28
for quite some time it's interesting i
23:30
read this week that and have been in contact since my train
23:32
nineteen so he's been constantly keeping tabs
23:35
on him and and and again it just falls of
23:37
this new by in philosophy and that the moves
23:39
that they're making between sally midgets and and ali
23:41
khan amp so yeah i'm or think
23:43
it's a really good again at ces into the great fear
23:45
things and adelson seth style of play
23:48
there is is interesting isn't it argued just
23:50
at the back end of last season novels
23:53
man was quite clear that he wanted to spend
23:56
on the defense the that's where we really
23:58
wanted to reinforce the the into
24:00
the actually hill here is no doubt that
24:02
it now i think
24:05
was interesting to me is when
24:07
you get these little the
24:09
show wheels on social media when a player
24:11
sides got all that scientists player
24:13
it's this is the sort of defensive chops they
24:15
could be get and all the highlights of to list of
24:18
been from iraq which i find really
24:20
really interesting now obviously even
24:22
as we try to play hardball and make
24:25
by go up to the claws
24:27
and of object twenty million euros i got and
24:29
for third lessen the and which i think is is
24:32
is quite significant inclined dixie with
24:34
the market were in nevertheless fine have
24:36
spent over
24:38
forty million euros for the second
24:41
time ever the two
24:43
players that spent well twice
24:45
the amount on lucan and as a
24:47
now matters to list so still
24:49
looking to reinforce that defense that not scrimping
24:52
on that at all but the list
24:55
does come with a big price tag why
24:57
do you think it didn't really
25:00
throw really click for him at
25:02
events is because everyone
25:05
saw it be the perfect finishing school
25:07
next to the new t next
25:09
of cel amy china
25:12
for in between oh susana son is grace
25:14
what do you think
25:16
laughing at exactly where it is often stayed
25:18
within the shell i don't i felt
25:20
the was probably is almost a bit intimidated about
25:22
how things work with work there
25:24
the hierarchy does such an old school
25:27
in or partnerships lot history that
25:29
event this very traditional i think in law there
25:31
with i , it was the
25:33
wrong move for him or think you know it
25:35
probably look like all husband the eventual successor
25:38
can learn alongside them for a think
25:40
somebody like the licked his
25:42
character his persona character his field probably needs
25:45
to go into a team straight aware
25:48
who laid them at fully not he was linked
25:50
with barcelona very heavily he even
25:52
and bought him on frankie were both linked in in
25:54
august lot of talk about double move the
25:57
almost feel that he could have gone there and actually
25:59
saw the the alongside
26:01
pj
26:03
that's what debate that would have been a better learning
26:05
curve actually plan actually been
26:07
a key part of the defense straight away west you the
26:09
i don't think he really has nothing that hit impossible
26:11
death and they're of the ego thing and
26:14
it's certainly impact of his confidence his own
26:16
belief own belief he's a think
26:18
clearly by in a role now the welcome
26:20
won fame that pay and this money for him i think
26:22
mean or like said sally midgets has been in contact with of
26:24
her number of years so he'll probably feel
26:27
wanted it'll feel loved and things will go in there
26:29
and i'll be honest i have some mere
26:31
demanded doubts about what mcconnell i
26:34
don't think is is tom is some people say
26:36
there he is when this
26:38
this new group of friends
26:41
send a boxer common through i
26:43
always really hard coon there and
26:45
silly that am that both of mcconnell
26:48
and if i'm honest with you with always thought they had
26:50
they had more about them and bit
26:52
smoother bit more versatility about their game
26:55
i'm on yeah
26:57
yeah it's it's a think deluxe gonna work
26:59
out well a it by a know i am
27:01
and and become the leader that defense
27:04
and and it eventually think of the t
27:06
who is fascinating when one of these deals
27:09
stalls and and that seems to be
27:11
the case with with d live million
27:14
skinny again from into to psg
27:16
elise fierce to aren't willing to me
27:19
any source who for levels
27:21
of financial compensation that
27:23
sir into ah ask
27:26
him for a but there it there will
27:28
be a knock on effect as well wear their id
27:30
if if skinnier goes
27:32
it appears g then
27:35
he replace him friends have for example
27:37
and also a m where
27:40
does p as geez i do deolis
27:42
gove then arguably is pop
27:44
disagree the ever
27:46
thought that's right the
27:48
allies an interesting one because
27:51
he's been sir alex ferguson
27:53
style anointed for the succession
27:55
anointed resign success anointed by to the valley napoli
27:59
or what the actually ends up there in the end
28:03
the way that napoli run this transfer
28:05
windows been absolutely chaotic i'm in
28:08
we , at the weekend
28:10
or their training camp luciano spalletti
28:12
getting up to give the fans
28:15
are fans little bit of chat and thanks for coming
28:17
and ending up getting heckled it was heckled it like when
28:19
kevin keegan was on the steps
28:21
of st james's park after they sold and he called
28:24
over that is this ,
28:26
rear guard action some moms heckling spalletti
28:28
the actually told him to shut up it was
28:30
amazing but at the thing
28:33
was the spalletti was out there guides
28:35
law obviously we've lost
28:39
in some important characters they some us
28:41
ospina coulibaly mertens
28:44
other fans are mertens crack on what we're crack on what
28:46
and he's not resigning name because oppressed it
28:48
hasn't said this so far
28:50
so of thing is really
28:52
affects the hundreds
28:55
of of incoming players and ah
28:57
i think especially when a player leaving
29:00
peer see this the financial aspect as well
29:03
the really need to be paid to leave in ah there's no
29:05
doubt about that because you on wages that you not
29:07
gonna get anywhere else going
29:09
back to into it's
29:11
interesting because i was using dot and
29:13
everyone's it a chain really are that's
29:15
why we see one domino go
29:18
and and then as a load full of
29:21
it felt like into i had
29:23
excellent backup in
29:25
that out be signing where a man who was
29:27
one of the best defenders if not the best central
29:29
defender in sorry i lost his name is brilliant
29:32
resilience the prom
29:35
that's arena the
29:37
problem is they feel they can only go
29:39
to certain level juventus
29:41
can now outbid them because they've got the dullest
29:44
money so maybe they get in
29:46
there so really is going to come down to
29:48
the play else to say witch
29:50
project do i the leaving
29:52
the mice i think
29:54
anyone really blame him while tough means fans
29:57
will be safer go into events
29:59
as for more money they talk about the
30:01
transfers now ved will
30:04
perhaps affect the premier league the
30:06
transfers from europe am
30:09
and tabs from the premier li to europe as
30:11
well so you already mentioned earlier on david
30:13
about personal kim pamby
30:17
gates at chelsea is
30:19
what the rumors as suggesting sam
30:21
on twitter at once you know whether you
30:23
can confirm that or not
30:26
yeah you definitely wanna think and off me
30:29
, chelsea deathly thing and of him and it's either going
30:31
to be emma kills coup there who's just been
30:33
discussions before before with
30:35
coon their this very much a long time
30:37
vested interest am and him that
30:39
had bids rejected before am
30:42
dead ownership situation
30:44
the chelsea changed law things i think i think you
30:46
next matter this move to hop
30:48
and of a long long before now he's thinking
30:50
why mosque let's have a right now i'm the
30:53
dollar bin saud foi thought you would been a chelsea player
30:56
am i think especially once it became clear that
30:58
to to go was going and chelsea
31:00
of kind of being a bit slow for that reason cause the
31:02
ownership change and also
31:05
the unwillingness to hit them release clause it's
31:07
of the you want severe have been hoping
31:09
to get a bidding war going because they knew they
31:11
boss longer interested the new that with the teams will
31:13
gonna kinda the
31:16
at the moment barcelona san the coon there wait
31:19
for us and until we get that money through
31:21
and we'll we'll quincy
31:24
as the chelsea's got to be wary of that as well that
31:26
that is no the boss loner gonna be around
31:28
about and it would mean that it
31:31
is not or britain self very far right now from
31:33
city of us lorna i'm so as
31:35
can be an interest want to see anything he are other he's an
31:37
outstanding defender are really easy of thing
31:39
is far superior prisoner can bend as well
31:42
yeah i'd agree with that the
31:45
i would also question before we go
31:47
that in day david
31:50
why psg want to sell campaign
31:53
i mean i know he's had
31:56
his moments is not been relentlessly
31:59
consistent i think is is is
32:01
is fair to say the on his on
32:03
his dying i think he's is is great
32:05
i also think is so much value
32:07
them as the
32:10
ideological hate him
32:12
if if you think of the fact that they're trying to build
32:15
this new
32:18
how peruvian play focus
32:20
products behind them back pay
32:23
the try to convince young players
32:25
that you can come through the academy a
32:28
come to los and succeed
32:31
and i think it to me optically feels
32:33
like a bad moment to sell tempeh by for that
32:35
reason because he's one of those were
32:38
parisian players whose common
32:41
and succeeded for club
32:43
the when stuff and competes
32:45
that champions league level every single year
32:48
and for them to squeeze
32:50
him out the a good optically
32:53
the sergio ramos i think that
32:55
looks horrible or i think is a really
32:58
really terrible learn especially
33:00
when you had a star the summer xabi
33:03
simmons thinks we're actually
33:06
i could have signed for you to a carcass fps
33:08
the again or could have resigned and then got
33:10
loads psv but you know i'll just go straight psv
33:13
because i really need to
33:15
involve all of that when you go and what me shoot
33:18
a who are the midfield player who
33:20
putting i want to give chance to sue the end of last
33:22
season that but coggins owns a so
33:24
he was he was unable to do that and the in india
33:26
and same , as
33:29
i think of gunplay such as a celtic who
33:31
may be a gun sight the the shorter
33:33
route because there are comply
33:35
and in flight my reputation all these young
33:38
players that comes through the system side
33:40
side know what are i don't see myself that
33:43
how does that change you need i saw
33:45
them stuff to make that happen as almost
33:48
feel that they're in this position
33:50
way they are caught between two ideologies
33:53
of whether the goal that prison route or whether to go
33:55
or the when now group swimming you look an
33:57
exchange of player say they saw contender
33:59
they would probably bring screw nine more
34:02
than you know much you were an
34:04
experienced player and somebody
34:06
they seal them been on a again who
34:09
might not have those flaws
34:11
those areas that the can cost them in in
34:13
particular begins but
34:15
, they'll go on sign a young player like equity
34:17
their what we've just been discussed in as well so it's an interesting
34:19
one that their their part
34:22
one where they pot another and enough think
34:24
until they get that completely clear they
34:26
won't have that success what they
34:28
really really want in the champions league and to
34:30
be it's it's the number one remit clean before
34:32
for lose compass
34:34
i realize not from
34:37
healy technical standpoint you
34:39
could say the base is
34:41
is not don't listen
34:44
central defender i agree with that quality
34:48
the is good enough ninety
34:51
percent of the fps she's games and
34:53
to have him there is someone
34:55
who tells you you can keep com three
34:58
you can make it not really what
35:00
i do think he'd be pretty good for for chelsea
35:02
is what although his you sang david the
35:05
thing about sunday is you do have
35:07
that adaptability
35:09
but as as far as were severe the
35:12
will i get rusty allows a block that's
35:14
how supine in the ass for them really isn't
35:16
that that they need to get this guy
35:19
salt because otherwise that com
35:21
sign any one because us that been heavily
35:23
with a scouting for example
35:25
yet another domino am i mean they sold
35:27
diego carlos very early on the aston villa
35:30
that that they'll came out of nowhere think villa was a
35:32
big surprise for lot of people they replaced
35:34
him with my how are you know well from fun about
35:36
his wealth so they got one day alone gonna have
35:38
to either in or is he they got yes
35:40
galatasaray sorry am and they be know
35:42
they got him for ten million which is which is quite a decent
35:44
price in on that
35:47
would include typical for the a deal i thought
35:49
but yet again site which on what these dominoes
35:51
in these chains they need to near the go to activate
35:53
the rest of their summer i'm
35:56
a and again to feel that it's that big deal with
35:58
should happen as happen long time ago
35:59
included feel these prose been there all mode
36:02
of steady welcome and a year and a half maybe
36:04
and we still played very very well of course nice
36:07
been very professional about everything of course
36:10
i , he'll do really really well
36:12
chelsea if he does com which meant no coughing it looks
36:14
like especially if possible
36:16
don't get back and with
36:18
yeah it does feel as if you're in a
36:20
chain when you're trying to buy a house and
36:22
in as somebody souls of insane
36:25
he did you start their to somebody move
36:27
i'm not i'm not accusing in
36:29
barcelona v the sticking point
36:32
at his , the advocated
36:34
well as indicated
36:37
there are many say is as barcelona
36:39
dead they doing a lot the movement now and i wonder
36:42
which plays again after let go
36:44
to make ends meet memphis depuy
36:47
for example if there is very
36:49
serve you know people will
36:51
know him from his his spell at
36:53
man united but there's a suggestion
36:56
david that he might even be returning to the
36:58
premier league
37:00
there's talk of it's nothing this talk of a
37:02
number of players in own potentially believe
37:04
in barcelona memphis is one of them both
37:07
look members
37:09
isn't gonna go anywhere until it is it the
37:12
or that the line is unless it's a significant club
37:14
the comes in for him adorno who dot significant
37:16
club would be in the premier league or any
37:18
when you have quite frankly and also
37:21
apparently , he is playing for nino
37:23
from memphis to the around as well he nor am
37:25
i don't think he really put a foot wrong
37:27
at barcelona he wasn't incredible he
37:30
wasn't terrible he was just swam between
37:32
think he was not an effect purpose
37:34
where they they were last season and properties
37:36
where they are right now as well so i'll
37:38
be really i'll be am if
37:41
he last i think it's can be on his deputy going
37:43
to be on with his i think her to leave first
37:45
am on city linguists iraqi
37:47
plague mine broth with and
37:49
they were all i'm emitted from the usa a squad
37:51
and that the u s it to a squatter bosland up
37:54
so yeah i think your stay
37:56
i think that's the thing though i'd
37:59
do logically the army's
38:01
got a very clear idea of ways months today
38:04
but is also a little bit like i
38:06
remember when my kids were younger and
38:09
he eats are you got too many toys you need
38:11
to clear some out maybe some
38:13
other people would benefit from these toys more
38:15
than you you don't play without any more
38:17
like i've no doubt i don't need all of a studied
38:20
all of a not using a lot
38:22
i get that my mom it i
38:25
get that my missus is about must make collection now
38:27
i said and successor yeah my
38:32
, is about the number of motorcycles
38:34
i have a need all the visual
38:38
acuity my woes of
38:43
whatever cristiano ronaldo whatever bit
38:45
seats with a lot of conversation
38:47
around him whether manchester
38:49
united of security for another season
38:51
whether they want him for another season and
38:54
way could possibly go sit
38:56
could he adds up back in spain for
38:58
example of what
39:00
see no bookie tennis
39:03
yeah it's it's been pushed you know i think keen
39:05
on the is christiana was people
39:07
mendez said pushing his name around
39:09
different been on been clubs and year right now
39:11
sells you want by munich or another both
39:14
said no for various reasons and
39:17
now it seems to have fallen upon the dorm
39:19
lady and be unlikely place about
39:21
lady considering all the history
39:23
the cristiano has that led enormous think
39:26
there's lots of mobile that i think
39:29
hypothetically speaking secrecy on a worse
39:31
on front lady i think they
39:33
would be serious serious fun protests
39:36
they beat this already be of
39:38
discontent balloon to the sas that lady anywhere
39:41
am against their own as the my mind it's been
39:43
invested in the squad i think if they were
39:45
to get cristiano and i'd say
39:47
probably that number one enemy for for quite some
39:49
time while he was in span i'd
39:51
say use a bigger enemy the white
39:53
lady then he wants to barcelona when using
39:55
span and are just think this one would go down
39:58
terribly am i there's
40:00
a bit a that , trying
40:02
to convince him your nagging on say look he's
40:04
a winner he's a guy wants to went all costs
40:06
of apostasy just like you so think
40:08
the trying to sell him or not but honest honest
40:11
one's a bit too farfetched may have to a can't see it
40:13
happening and also outlet you again would
40:15
have to sell plays as well and i
40:17
don't think that's gonna happen as well it would probably mean moving
40:19
on the be career and cognac corral school
40:22
in or a it's yeah it's it's walk
40:24
on see happen that's too wild may i think
40:27
producer of andy
40:30
harry kane going
40:32
to buy munich and
40:34
you see that
40:36
not this summer but why things
40:38
are interesting is or the
40:41
com and we've always gotta take i
40:43
think the residents
40:46
and sporting directors and sea ice public
40:48
statements with cancer cell is always
40:51
important the that's because
40:54
that's really important be seem to be doing
40:56
something and i think
40:58
especially given the departure
41:00
of lemon dusky which you
41:03
know it doesn't have the emotional connection
41:05
of as we were saying the
41:07
moolah if he were to have left or
41:09
going backwards even try and snyder when
41:11
i knew he was less physically done
41:15
it , hurts to let
41:17
go because he felt like our a
41:19
bad guys iced at there's not there's
41:21
same emotional connection eleven
41:23
dot keeper as he was saying earlier gotten
41:25
a lot gulf is a lot goal city so it
41:28
does feel as if you know they
41:30
need to be elise
41:32
medium term looking about what the
41:34
they can do about that now
41:38
the fact that they've briefed
41:41
the and oliver town is that publicly acknowledge
41:44
the harry kane is a player of interest
41:46
to them i think he is interesting
41:48
i do wonder if is mutually
41:51
suitable for kane
41:54
for his potential market for
41:56
potential contract extension whispers because
41:59
of course now he finally got to the
42:01
point where it's got two years left in that that
42:03
that they've got a that gonna do something the
42:06
way am i don't think by
42:08
realistically think i can that
42:11
in the summer but
42:13
they'll be interested be interested going forward
42:16
whether that interest would be reciprocated
42:18
i think he's a a different question but
42:21
if you're taking the
42:23
of looking at it
42:25
in
42:27
the most know tottenham
42:30
premier league kind of way
42:33
does fit the profile of what bought by
42:35
would do because a and
42:37
especially the by the going you get the saudi money
42:40
signings as as as well the
42:42
site that you look
42:44
at someone who's reaching
42:46
the under their twenties when early thirties
42:49
contracts run it out
42:51
proven
42:53
massive wages would swing the deal and
42:55
that's where pine have gone before which we talked
42:57
about the list and i'm lucas
43:00
it and as being outliers really in terms
43:02
of their faith by have always
43:04
gone about it in a big wages the only
43:06
way we are you think live in dusky side
43:08
for free sorry oh man i didn't sign
43:11
for for for for that much
43:14
how much
43:16
tottenham well in for the
43:19
even even if it got to appoint say i
43:21
get so bored with is one year left on his contract
43:25
i wouldn't get away with selling him for a
43:27
saudi oh man i priced as what you're saying so
43:30
much of the markets is
43:32
is optics and of course they
43:35
think the question of would would can be
43:37
interested which is something we don't have an
43:39
answer t yeah like , said nothing
43:41
a summer if he's not side again next
43:44
summer i'm really interested see what hap
43:49
as always we welcome all your
43:52
mail online
43:54
or otherwise a you can get out
43:56
of us at football ramble
43:58
at dotson at bio at
44:01
andy brasil and at david
44:03
jacket on social media this
44:06
from ah alex
44:08
is for you and day it'll be interesting
44:11
to hear your take on forest as
44:13
in nottingham forest going heavy owner
44:15
bundesliga talents was certain
44:17
he talks a tie were winnie
44:19
own the riches and are possibly esteve
44:22
ranks largely due to
44:24
x stuttgart analysts do
44:26
and seriousness how do you think they're
44:28
lead up to the premier league oh
44:30
well i think most recent on here
44:32
before think i would ease great pick
44:35
up a player who
44:37
i think was probably good enough for the premier league in
44:39
the first place that can get can work permit when
44:41
permit when at liverpool say got popped in
44:44
in germany last couple of seasons for in
44:46
the on he's been brilliant and he he
44:48
flourished in the second half
44:50
of last season school girls economy you i play
44:52
despite leaves him as
44:55
for anyone's during strike partner in
44:57
a max cruz if is he such could provide us
45:00
and i would he continued score after that
45:02
such a thing i showed the and
45:04
he could flourish in a number situations
45:06
and ah think is is a witty
45:08
smart player on lt greats need
45:11
cafe is not
45:13
one of the celebrated friend
45:15
said a backs that and david was talking
45:17
about that is incredibly consistent and
45:20
very solid i think you look elsewhere
45:22
especially with i'm richards
45:25
look at of course it on nicole williams on the on
45:27
side they needed to fill the gap
45:29
said that last of oh wingback
45:31
of course wingback jets fan speeds in on etc
45:33
etc so if feels like
45:36
we've got planned it feels like they're
45:39
all players who should adapt pretty
45:41
quickly given the is
45:43
individual strength or adding forest of going about
45:46
this window pretty well and
45:48
as i seem to got decent value for their money
45:50
shocking
45:53
and embarrassing birthing on have to accept
45:55
the he pronounce our knee directly
45:58
where's my the size version
46:00
of our need a
46:03
, and i'm embarrassed to the
46:05
are so i was the nigerian in this equation
46:08
the clearly you off anyway at
46:10
com looking forward to get my are vintage
46:12
nigeria chef for christmas a side
46:15
effect get kids to the back
46:17
of the queue and talking about nigeria nameless
46:20
i could lay lay i know got that
46:22
right could lay as certain
46:24
treated us crush him few david
46:26
given how much the barcelona discourse
46:28
has overshadowed other la liga
46:30
business what has been
46:33
your favorite non top
46:35
three chances so far
46:37
in the league and which have league and doing
46:40
spend to do business
46:42
yeah i'm moto
46:44
three deals i'd probably say luis
46:47
, the real betis betis
46:49
seven million pounds presenting the talk
46:52
adults very exciting live wire
46:54
should really odd something to that
46:56
a thing and already exciting best teams
46:58
in a little bit different in our within the com
47:01
as lean on the serene of can
47:03
alison and sec a i'd something now
47:05
as now as just really
47:07
really spicy sign that think these one or get
47:09
people on their feet of bet is of well mohammad
47:13
ali tool to real sociedad it
47:15
million french teenager live
47:17
in english background live with him again
47:20
just look fantastic since imagine on
47:22
the fantastic in the on the think
47:24
he's one that's really
47:27
interesting and on
47:30
a we're not saw pick two young players abu
47:32
ahmed ago a friend and old vet now and
47:35
thirty four year old so the luis
47:37
morales to very all free transfer
47:40
and might be say for but you can still do
47:42
it el comandante he's been fantastic
47:44
the posse as relevant as just keep
47:46
in their heads above water in that division provide
47:49
in the spectacular every now and then justice and
47:51
incredible professional nothing
47:53
can be really well for the reality seems like a real
47:55
afternoon like am retired player
47:58
you got really excited their id com calm
48:00
down at all mohammed ali show
48:03
also me i can't do any better
48:05
than that his ,
48:07
who is good good question
48:09
for you both as and this is for me
48:12
for that notwithstanding
48:14
move what david she said they about la liga
48:17
not withstanding when you close
48:19
your eyes over chances
48:21
across europe that would be talked about tonight
48:25
who is doing the best
48:27
in this transfer window which team and
48:30
he first was often important
48:32
to know is transfers
48:36
are not always the eye catching months
48:39
so i think well which i'm pretty
48:41
good business i think you
48:43
look at it it is expensive
48:45
but to i'm any as good as any
48:48
change a future really for the next three
48:50
to five years you
48:52
know if says the table for
48:54
the succession of that fantastic midfield three
48:57
and built
48:59
on the the energy the realm of your child in a that
49:02
that the backend of lawsuits the turnpike businesses
49:04
well him into in some of the contracts
49:06
of episode realize that city with chronology
49:09
rather than just planning is is as well
49:11
but losing the
49:14
wages of of a balinese go is
49:16
important if i managed to get rid of supply
49:19
or send money on a d as
49:21
far as i think that's that's pretty
49:23
good too elsewhere
49:27
that was
49:29
i'm good i'm keeping an eye on of is is is what must
49:31
say date because obviously the had
49:33
the shock of some pally going on
49:36
and now eagle tito's come in
49:38
and got rid of his assistant mara
49:41
cabernets you got married cabernets a after
49:43
week because his original choice
49:46
big big cat full size of whole for switzerland
49:49
you know that you need that kind of decisiveness in
49:51
transfer market an insight into businesses well
49:53
looks , and jonathan class dot
49:56
dot dot the right wing back from
49:59
at last which are as think is good for them
50:01
to good for he's world cup hoped also
50:03
getting them loose far as not that one from
50:06
granada as well he's just a a
50:09
fool would past which are as and given
50:11
the way that they wanna play is
50:13
is is pretty good say so even
50:16
though most ip gently
50:18
rags for the their
50:21
business as a look started actually got
50:23
a plan of of what they're going to do now and
50:25
always had faces that would be the the
50:27
case because neither
50:29
president pablo longoria the
50:32
great background is a sporting director in
50:34
spain of course before we ended up doing that
50:36
job messiah than game promoter to
50:39
to to president so i think
50:41
they're a little bit more on a level than level
50:44
than of people expected of him a couple weeks ago
50:46
the always makes me laugh about longer is actually
50:49
one is present in science and he just always
50:51
reminds me in a kid will be playing football man j
50:53
stocks you just look so us i know of a joy when
50:55
i got a sign and sas it's quite
50:57
incredible sunsets
50:59
, yeah i'm okay eddie's probably
51:02
quite obvious ones but i just really really like
51:04
the business that both dortmund on by
51:06
and done a thing that really sets of their
51:09
their in this new era next year not
51:11
nor highlands knowledge and dusky am
51:13
i think it makes it really exciting about
51:15
how they will develop how they will unfold
51:18
will think am unfold i of new players
51:20
between them so i really really like the business
51:22
day both on a can't fault any that i
51:24
really will com
51:25
am but if i was to look elsewhere
51:28
maybe not so obvious i think
51:30
lead to dinner really really good job i'm
51:32
with the players they have signed and also
51:34
the ones that they are target and
51:36
and that they have been linked with as well some very interesting
51:39
work think gone on they've they brought in a lot of money
51:41
with this sale of to very key players
51:43
and com phillips aren't am or
51:45
senior book i'd be very excited
51:47
for who they brought in and who they potentially app
51:50
will bring him
51:51
while we're on dortmund we should probably
51:53
say i'm all the best to one of those new
51:55
signings sebastian allah is
51:57
have been diagnosed with testicular
52:00
asylum or better him and we had him
52:02
back fighting fit sooner rather lighter hear
52:04
