1:36

in the possibility of him game to barcelona

1:38

the deal is finally

1:41

done what does it mean

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

20:44

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
