2:13

the other know about you but i can actually

2:15

see love indoor ski

2:17

a bosses red and blue stripes

2:20

it is that a my dreams

2:22

well as as a dream as being pushed

2:24

all over the place on it is

2:26

, being clear the to out of the three

2:29

parties are desperately wants

2:31

it but by

2:33

of not really had to have been down the

2:35

hatches as much as i lay my have done

2:37

and i said the stall out pretty early in the window

2:40

in and i said the

2:42

new date i was going to let him go without going to hold

2:44

into the last year of his contract as he mentioned before

2:47

on here really hurt as you still

2:49

like the word even though he's a cop

2:52

with not , much day to day involvement

2:54

with by and he said well we've seen

2:57

how level of he works he wanted to to

3:00

us a year it leaves fall

3:02

off a year before we are actually did he wanted

3:04

to leave dortmund a year before and dumps they

3:06

held into the last year of his contract and he had

3:08

a really productive season so we know is not going to dance

3:10

halls and the

3:13

biggest problem though has been

3:16

florida because we have

3:18

my progress will live in dusky as

3:21

got binds or point where they're happy

3:23

to name a price which they weren't even

3:25

at a month ago but , big

3:27

problems barcelona can't come anywhere near that

3:29

a despite the fact less moving very

3:32

financial chairs at the end of that

3:34

financial year year the at

3:37

of course i've got in a

3:39

bit more cash i'm from

3:41

partial side of the tv rights of cel ten

3:44

percent of the tv rights we found out on

3:46

thursday afternoon

3:48

the to an american hedge fund that means as a

3:50

fifteen percent of the tv rights that

3:52

they're am allowed to sell snuck

3:55

him permission bus representing

3:59

the voice of the other

3:59

you have to sell up to twenty five percent

4:02

of those tv rise and

4:05

i don't know about you david but a point where

4:07

they still com register christensen

4:10

to see a reason so he roberta you

4:12

that was already there player in every science

4:14

a new contract it

4:17

all seems incredibly short termist yeah

4:20

it is it's it's it's very i think is really

4:23

really blake and i think

4:25

what , it worse is he

4:28

north they are doing these are doing mean the plaza down

4:30

they said like the know the idea of this

4:32

cash injection basically is just

4:34

to make sure they and the financial yeah

4:36

process so that planned down that the fact

4:38

that the money's for a factual

4:40

signings but i mean we all know it is the

4:43

fact that they want to spend some of the money that they freed

4:45

up on a thirty three year

4:47

old striker who is

4:49

pretty much one it all

4:52

and you do have the one day know

4:54

how much longer has he still got how much is also

4:56

he still gotten the tongue and eleven dusky

4:59

it just yeah it's just know

5:01

the strange strange boss lawn decision

5:04

and look i know is one of the best strikers in the world of

5:06

costs book it is it's again

5:08

with all short termist third

5:10

the long term plan that from basa just

5:13

doesn't seem really to be there

5:15

and a it's the gravely concerned

5:17

and and he nor there in

5:19

for with muscovy on,

5:22

on new contract and an anal

5:24

and other young players of phoenix to

5:26

drop their demands and searching, it

5:29

really has and it's not

5:31

going to be a while before they actually sort

5:33

themselves out if, you know, i'm talking a

5:35

a long, before they actually there was well what

5:37

do what about the boss affirms that david

5:39

a bit memo speaks at least in

5:42

three different or excited about

5:44

the prospects of somebody like lemon

5:46

dogs geek a smear

5:48

notwithstanding coming for boss

5:50

and mls

5:52

yeah of course it's it's robert love not eating

5:54

one of the best strikers in the wealth or for the last couple

5:57

years of of course but

5:59

i think they but one fans are funny

6:01

bunch their ram then

6:03

they they care a lot you know there's someone

6:05

who are willing to do not

6:08

leave the star signings leave the big names

6:10

and names and on the basis

6:12

of bringing in young players be through the economy

6:14

all around europe they thought they'd

6:17

rather signing a thing as a bright young

6:19

player with her with a big big future you know

6:21

it's why there's so much you

6:24

know sadness over what's happening with linkages young

6:26

i think there was like a lot of feeling for

6:28

him and and while he could bring as well but i just hasn't

6:30

worked out and you know i think they'd

6:33

they'd rather see somebody like him succeed

6:35

or see a player from the economy succeed then

6:38

eleven does he come in but then there is that will there

6:41

part of the farm bill that does one signings

6:43

now on to compete now on

6:46

all fronts and i don't think even if

6:48

they get love industry that they're prepared to

6:50

to to do that are offering of your other fingers

6:52

the they make , of

6:54

or spend a lot of january

6:56

getting forward place i'm

6:59

a think if you're talking about on terms of what

7:01

they actually meet them on them pitch on the

7:03

a reliable centre

7:05

backs for for a start the midfield

7:08

typical sorted and i think the fact

7:10

that i've got a young midfield is going to be propelled

7:12

forward by a perjury a

7:15

gary nico the

7:18

of allows them to sell the illusion

7:21

of the fact that they're going forward with

7:23

, players whereas the rest

7:25

of the to me that if already brought in obama young

7:27

who's in a short time been very

7:29

successful nothing could continue to be

7:32

for for a while the problem

7:34

that you are laporta the president

7:36

has done is and we've seen

7:38

this with selling pot of the right swathe

7:41

getting a deal with spotify that's that's

7:44

a lot of barcelona observers believe

7:46

is below market value for the shirts

7:48

and for the the sponsorship of of

7:50

camp know is without

7:53

superstars you can't get the big sponsorship

7:55

deals and i think sometimes his

7:57

fans we always look at it you

8:00

know what is a player who's gonna

8:02

be the silver bullet was a push my team over

8:04

the hump a lovely cause i think

8:06

look at it like that anymore how is this

8:08

player can assess how we gonna sell the sponsorships

8:11

how we gonna guess twitter

8:14

instagram facebook impressions

8:17

all of us all of that stuff

8:19

matters to advertisers matters mass to the

8:21

financial health financial club

8:23

i think might have loved to have yet to bosses well

8:25

if he looked aware that he's gone up psg he's

8:27

gone up months the he's so envious

8:29

of the superstars the are going to the premier

8:31

league the you know that that the have being

8:33

not that and bobby a stay at psg am

8:36

he's envious of this and he

8:38

tried accurate the league on a basis of the

8:40

enough pushing forward those sponsorship deals

8:42

that in that you mention his wealth and this is a big

8:45

big issue for him and every now and then a to spoil

8:47

all that and he is gravely gravely concerned

8:50

and he knows that you

8:52

can try and sell la liga on the

8:54

stance of eden or look at some of the the great

8:56

young players that than six like that

8:58

but they're us there is still not really

9:01

does he know those those big superstars

9:04

they just aren't there anymore they the still they

9:06

still in a depression still in a hangover

9:08

from the messy rinaldo yes the street

9:10

from column

9:12

the us spends his be

9:14

also question vespers everybody was you know

9:17

where do i see sig love indoor ski

9:19

who end up or no end up

9:22

this , if he doesn't

9:24

make it to busload of will really

9:26

be plainly just run that is contracts

9:29

to the toy way can go for free

9:32

i think she's either by and player and

9:34

twenty two twenty three odds

9:37

, just don't think barcelona has

9:39

the ability to make it happen i think bond

9:41

will hold him to his contract as we said

9:43

knowing that he will

9:45

continue be very productive for very

9:47

productive but think the idea that they'll

9:50

be less of a market

9:52

for eleven dusky next year

9:55

adi by that's all i mean he'll be thirty

9:57

four by then of course bus

10:00

image not just a player is maintaining his for me

10:02

supply that improving , phone going

10:04

into the surveys surveys

10:07

think he's got plenty of he is left i think a

10:09

very very attractive on

10:11

attractive free next summer maybe

10:14

barcelona with seems to be the only club he wants

10:17

as or at the front of a key then goodness

10:19

knows what financial position they'll be financial by

10:21

they'll end spur it i guess

10:23

the extra year gives chelsea

10:26

parasites you mouth others the

10:28

opportunity to make their representation

10:30

soon because their think the thing we've seen dot

10:33

and with this market the

10:35

summer this that there are not that lot

10:37

of hotline

10:39

i plus elite number nine out

10:41

there in the market and i think you look

10:44

at the way that's some of the biggest clubs

10:46

are looking at reinforcing their

10:49

squads i think the markets quite time in

10:51

that sense the or wonder

10:54

if i hadn't influence on say the

10:57

cocky moving to am at moving back

11:00

to incest and i think is certainly if

11:02

we go back yes had an influence

11:04

in chelsea resigning a plant

11:07

that was completely unsuitable for him

11:09

i wouldn't be surprised if we got to the under this window

11:12

chelsea of maybe a few

11:14

trial experience in terms of trying to get a striker

11:17

and and they might just pearl or cheeky last

11:19

minute i honestly last year of the window one

11:22

, little bit in for leavened dusky com

11:24

we get a man i wouldn't be surprised at all

11:26

if they if they tried something like that but

11:28

are completely agree with you with think i think

11:31

love and asked economist ever going to remain going to and

11:33

player and he said a word

11:35

when describing barcelona and laporta

11:37

illusion even of allusions

11:39

i think that's exactly what is they look they want to

11:41

give off the impression that they are competing

11:44

in the market they were even talking about

11:46

few months ago about holland they would never

11:48

anywhere near holland and me

11:50

you know and they but they were still talking about

11:52

him as a possibility under the players as well

11:55

you know wheaton the doing it with ruffin yeah now as

11:57

well it's given their fans hopes

12:00

selling allusions to them and ultimately

12:02

i think they're nowhere near the top end of the market

12:04

to compete

12:05

you still looking at it i'm out

12:08

still rather have barcelona

12:10

his problems as complex as they

12:12

are do you've outlined stabbed

12:14

very well i think outside rather

12:16

have their problems and have a problem

12:19

that atletico madrid of

12:21

go where they're losing their star

12:23

player he , and so agrees

12:25

my there's been something of a talisman

12:28

looks like he's going down and

12:30

fifty doesn't seem to be much they can do to keep

12:32

it for my wrong in this and and

12:36

, this is a couple

12:38

of a here firstly it

12:40

of the speculation around creates man who and

12:43

we just had a so the car and so president

12:45

said of the end of last season

12:47

is definitely steinem will be an athletic our planet

12:49

next season speculation has risen

12:51

butterfat season agreed a deal to

12:54

sign acts of itself midfielders

12:56

lepers you dortmund as a bit of

12:58

experienced holding as a

13:00

in midfield it

13:02

seems i can't get him on the might spill at the moment

13:05

a similar situation the

13:07

want to barcelona spain experiencing

13:09

because there is a salary cap

13:11

in la liga you can't spend more than seventy

13:14

percent of your in com

13:17

on on wages and

13:19

they're very very close to the top of

13:21

that been operating like this for a while atletico

13:24

and because barcelona situation

13:27

is , dire i think it's easy

13:29

to overlook what of financial

13:32

tight rope atletico atletico

13:35

because of their costs have spiralled

13:37

either that the that ten

13:39

years as they become more successful as well

13:42

and look at gears man and and

13:45

it was a good deal to get him back from barcelona

13:48

but , those massive wages the fact

13:50

is his confidence is drained

13:52

and in twenty twenty two is

13:55

, recent months he that poor for let's

13:58

go is look poor for france he's

14:00

not look like scoring and

14:03

, hasn't scored in in la liga from months

14:05

and months and months is on a really

14:07

bad dry spell with france as well stephen

14:09

didier deschamps who's a huge fan

14:12

be as man loyal loyalist asked

14:14

his questioned him a in him a months

14:16

and you know maybe one end up in the eleven when

14:18

it comes to the the world cup so

14:22

greer mounted a difficult spot he's thirty one

14:24

i don't think alexa will be able to

14:26

get out from under their obligation

14:29

of buying him personally especially when you look

14:31

at the wages david

14:33

yeah absolutely that the clause

14:35

that makes them the mix the deal

14:37

obligatory is easy to go out and sixty

14:39

percent of the games and yeah spliff forty five minutes

14:41

in them that's easy don't he's gonna play those

14:44

am forty million obligatory

14:46

at the end of the next season at

14:49

current season as we as we move into it on

14:52

yeah was yeah pool destruction deal destruction the part about

14:54

lady they didn't really look at the be picture

14:57

book i

14:59

think i'll let the situation has somewhat been

15:02

wonder read it and overlooked because

15:04

of just how much of a mess boss loner

15:06

of thing but outlet year in a serious

15:08

serious tradition he at where they

15:11

need they they did make forty million

15:14

this summer they need us that us that that they need

15:16

forty million in from sales they're going after

15:18

move somebody on it's in a lot

15:20

of talk of run unloading

15:22

though and he somebody i think they should

15:24

be moving on with a young

15:26

brazilian there with massive massive potential

15:30

be , should be built in the next call your

15:32

squad with for it looks like he's gonna go there

15:34

carrasco talk never ever goes where

15:37

your just always talk of him potentially go on as

15:39

well because he remains a saleable assets and

15:41

, gonna have to do this every single some because they're

15:43

costa just out of control

15:46

now they never really

15:48

seen to i think i think

15:50

they think they they make a step

15:52

forward with they always taken to balk every

15:54

single window ios think and you look

15:56

at this window ritual his

15:59

best years of com lately behind them and

16:01

mean or and the fact that i let us

16:03

make in him that no the cornerstone

16:06

scion is a is is is remarkable

16:08

and i think it really really emphasizes just how

16:10

but of a situation i'd let he aren't

16:14

there's , multitude of fox's are diego simeone

16:16

it is on a huge huge salary is lol

16:18

players on very very big salaries

16:20

as well i think money hasn't

16:22

been spent wisely am daves

16:25

not been smart and a market for quite

16:27

some time now i don't think got lady and

16:31

, they've got they've got big big problems and

16:33

it would be a bigger story if it weren't for just the

16:35

to offset receive ridiculous situation barcelona

16:38

he moved to a source elite

16:40

sense of forwards and

16:43

, you you touched aluko cases in

16:45

just examined his situation

16:47

a little bit more obviously sit up

16:50

into the workout room with chelsea he

16:52

wanted to go back back

16:55

it seems said these from that's controversial

16:58

as to social media and

17:01

mustache with a contribution to he

17:03

made last year some for the go

17:05

in missoula trouble for his back their

17:07

way belongs you could argue what

17:11

difference does it make and not just

17:13

to in serbia indeed smells

17:15

of transfer musical

17:17

chairs in syria what

17:20

will is interesting dot in because before

17:22

the law cocky deal with even a possibility

17:25

we were being so the

17:27

idea of paolo the ballot the

17:30

into now is why i think

17:32

has been really interesting about this window

17:35

is the prospective a

17:37

now completed signing resigning

17:40

of le carr case has not dampen the

17:42

to bother talk so we're looking

17:44

at this from three

17:46

of le coq who lazzaro

17:49

martinez who began to be hanging onto the

17:52

and palatable us now the

17:54

ball is a frequent injury issues

17:56

notwithstanding and you

17:58

know or other thing make him a very

18:00

very risky free and inverted commas

18:03

signing in indeed especially when you

18:05

look at his eyes in his last couple of

18:07

seasons what

18:09

are we talking about earlier about

18:12

teams are going

18:14

with what looks shiny on what looks

18:16

commercially attractive run them what they actually

18:18

need on the pitch i'm i'm in nikki

18:21

band any told us a ,

18:23

of months ago on on here the

18:25

us into needed to reduce

18:27

their wage bill by about fifteen percent

18:30

percent you know that they're going after

18:32

if every sound cocky which is not is

18:35

they're looking assigning to bolland have already

18:37

offered him a contract they've signed

18:40

henrik muchas aryan on a free on wages

18:42

at reimer weren't prepared to match and

18:45

how they could find the his finances

18:48

by selling milan skinny ass

18:50

arguably the best sense of act two see

18:53

it looks like ah many some extraordinary

18:56

decision really starting to other

18:58

there's no doubt from still a cocky perspective

19:01

how could this looks because

19:04

it you know he had become allies

19:07

, a millstone for for chelsea

19:10

chelsea basically donald them on eve

19:12

dot and social point where his value job

19:14

so job i mean that like

19:17

people saying this is just kicking the can

19:19

down the road as far as chelsea are concerned because

19:21

into can't afford to buy and permanently

19:24

well know that com and the moment i mean

19:26

who knows him i have different ownership by us on

19:28

this time next year or extra investors

19:30

by this time next yes but i

19:32

had to do something for the very least

19:34

i think is we inflates the car

19:37

keys value if he gets out there and

19:40

plays well but he's well given because

19:43

as well as he talked about how he upset

19:45

chelsea fans with this is a salty

19:47

and eternally and media when he was trying when make

19:49

up with that that

19:52

rupture he had in his

19:54

relationship with the into fans because that

19:56

was obviously preying on his mind still love

19:58

into fans who i'm forgiven him on there are

20:00

people out there is a well when he when

20:02

he scores goals they'll

20:05

be fine they'll get over it some

20:08

into fans won't get over it nice and will ever

20:10

be the affection that was before when

20:12

given little cocky is a player who

20:15

needs a faction needs a fraction

20:18

of the fans he needed the faction of antonio conte

20:20

about to the very best out of him and korea

20:22

best performances out of him i

20:25

, think this being a success

20:27

is an absolute bank

20:31

monday did am the it you think

20:33

that our the main thing here is that our

20:35

le coq au is returning to daddy yeah

20:42

and just fit of people who don't get the

20:44

reference a there was a report this week

20:46

the a that , to go

20:49

and la kaku are watching a a

20:51

spurs game together together

20:53

to and turns to the kaku

20:55

and said to him as a joke apparently

20:58

oh there's your daddy in refer referenced

21:00

antonio conte and it's and

21:02

it's conte and remarkable really

21:04

the i'm you know that they stopped comment is

21:06

true

21:07

and look i do with offended by as well more

21:10

, think eight so if we don't assume

21:13

it's always about delivery buffets nothing nothing

21:16

a life a but

21:18

but it often cause injuries interesting when

21:21

you look at him going

21:23

back there are many those changes dot was asking

21:25

before the the

21:28

the the market out there for the

21:30

strikers in in in sorry i'm in utica

21:33

i'm jealous is com aca

21:35

who is making himself the to

21:38

the future number nine of these anything

21:40

current number nine of the italy saints swat

21:42

, a big the i don't think

21:45

on reasonable price on him as about forty five

21:47

million when you look at visibility

21:49

and how young he is important to turn into

21:52

i'm into were interested that doors

21:54

shots i don't see

21:56

where the event to say a

21:58

getting the the money from but

22:01

sixty one for pompa deal guess over

22:03

the line and

22:06

it's like made the maybe p

22:08

a c or the other as about here because

22:10

they've been very interested in him but

22:12

i think when we talking about the how

22:14

how short we are intend to strike is out

22:16

there what's interesting

22:18

is because santiago now we had this

22:21

three as firma j w

22:24

and football st nicholas any out i strongly

22:26

room it's be on monty by reimer despite his

22:28

obvious potential and standing by

22:31

him with see serious injuries

22:33

he did increase in both knees of course why

22:36

, been links events isn't spurs where

22:38

would he fit best best there another cop

22:41

that would seem better now of course we

22:43

wouldn't be talking about him as a striker it's

22:45

all david if we're going back to

22:47

pre those injuries to talk about on

22:49

here before about how his

22:51

body signs how is

22:54

not go that same burst of speed but

22:56

my god did he go to the gym while

22:58

the was injured and was looks like

23:01

his future space as his

23:03

centre forward as a striker because

23:06

he's working on holding the ball up now

23:09

and may be drifting off the shoulder of the defense

23:11

different roles firstly

23:14

other two questions for firstly

23:17

the thing

23:19

the you couldn't reach full

23:21

potential and to do

23:24

you think roma a right

23:26

to say is too much risk

23:28

to resign him on big wages less cash

23:31

in on him while he still got he is left on his contract

23:34

yeah the on see first question absolutely

23:36

i do still think he can reach his potential

23:38

i think we've seen on the years players

23:40

have perhaps not become the player that we thought

23:42

they would but they still xl

23:44

to saw absolutely and also

23:47

interestingly enough upping we're

23:49

that is she engine like you see those physical aspects

23:52

in what he the com i think

23:54

he quite good he quite seats you there

23:56

and in aware and and and their current

23:58

iraq i think their says them a law and you could

24:00

see him perhaps ah playing

24:03

office that love it you know

24:05

i think even lock dot their

24:08

strike or at the moment or the option i

24:10

think he could play with law which i think play

24:12

off love it is well enough

24:15

all be replacement if needs be so think that

24:17

option they're absolutely

24:20

am and secondly yeah i think rome is complete

24:22

justified i think who

24:24

you are in a precarious position financially

24:26

i think he after we're or lovely

24:29

everything and they're

24:31

just being sensible that is june two gilded

24:34

and that every club in every sport

24:36

no matter what it is have to do they have to look

24:39

at injury records they have to look at

24:41

the where the player is developing and

24:44

assessed for now yeah

24:46

if they get it war if they can get money and

24:48

potentially an option or

24:50

alone of a a you know a young player from

24:52

you view than then

24:54

i'd i'd i'd do that day of yeah yeah i'd be i'd

24:56

definitely be enjoy dot be sitting at the table listen

24:58

import that way

25:00

let's go back to choose

25:02

my daddy at the risk of upsetting

25:04

luca cure anybody else because he's

25:07

not the only person who's at returned

25:09

to the scene is an easy

25:13

, days or the subway was

25:15

weaned actually one windbag she

25:17

was he in sir alex just for the benefit

25:19

of for my metaphor alex

25:22

alex a wealthy that etti

25:25

saw the lack of set and currency to

25:27

lisa have returned silly on

25:29

these two players to play as

25:31

they are sold for combined

25:34

total of hundred

25:36

million euros hundred

25:39

million got them back for nothing

25:41

how do they do that she's

25:44

been an effort don't miss no doubt about that i

25:46

mean we are so we talked about on

25:48

the last prefer i see see of the season we

25:51

have this question about what signings

25:53

, you like see for the narrative and i says

25:56

lock is at until he sidebar for leon and

25:59

the

25:59

point i , that lack

26:02

is it was very possible are believed

26:04

to lease i was possible so because at that

26:06

point he was free to

26:08

was the ordeal when

26:11

leon inquired but and there was

26:13

very much a sense of i wanna go and play for champions

26:15

league club and that will fire my ambitions

26:18

to get into france is world cup

26:20

squad about , way

26:22

if if taught him and his impressive lack of that

26:24

as he said in his own presentation has been

26:26

a huge paws i said look i'm on the recruiting

26:29

same you know that that there's no doubt

26:31

the on i'm in his ear off

26:33

can and come back and when silly

26:35

so signed and was presented

26:37

to the that the media the said well yeah

26:40

like that played a a massive part

26:43

, it is huge for them particularly after

26:45

season in which which

26:47

missed out on year ab sink

26:50

kind of mutual need it in both

26:52

senses because i think

26:55

both luck as and silly so have shown

26:59

the improve their quality in their time

27:01

respected times are often and by and

27:04

but live know made a

27:06

completely convincing case live not be consistent

27:09

enough lucky that we form

27:12

and particular goal scored in his last season arsenal

27:15

until he so we've injuries and injuries

27:17

muscle injury to completely ruined his his his

27:19

last season that's a by and

27:22

the not convinced that i completely belong

27:25

at that currently elite

27:27

level so they need

27:29

to go back to position where they will

27:31

be senior players and run

27:33

a team tonight i will be the heads of

27:36

of our team and if i shine light to lisa

27:38

walcott pipes which but i still think we're a bit

27:40

of a long shots if he can

27:43

run things fruitiness

27:45

, the why doc in france and a big team is

27:47

awaiting the headlines then that's great

27:49

for him and with leon they

27:52

need to put up flags to say we're

27:54

ambitious you know there's just been taken

27:57

over and they've got to recognizable

27:59

dawn items in a french context

28:02

or to come back so yeah

28:04

i think is of of me to benefit

28:07

the my

28:08

in handy andy the big question

28:10

is

28:11

when

28:12

i'm pity get announced as well

28:15

when he when he gets a second ne

28:17

yeah

28:19

i i mean look or from a

28:22

a romance perspective

28:24

of our our [unk] personally love

28:26

mct that to got home as

28:28

well to join them is

28:31

, a wonderful player is huge

28:33

in france is funny eighteen world cup when when

28:36

find out their injuries in their injuries

28:38

in another thing that these been talking

28:40

some places that silly size a bit of a gamble

28:42

i think that saw that ,

28:45

gamble with mcc this unfortunately

28:48

no evidence to suggest he can do at the top

28:50

level anymore david and you think the first love

28:52

it came out for him was was your own

28:54

i ll it's lucky my end up at ren but

28:56

yeah so that the the to run a

28:58

came out for him i think shows you where

29:01

he is at the moment after any stein one

29:03

la liga game for barcelona fluffy

29:05

and then is is is really sad because while

29:07

player he was ah yeah i

29:09

was just thinking as his own city has but then

29:12

i think another as the unfairness sons

29:14

yourself will return to the i

29:18

, to an entire bonded together that

29:22

created the daddy yet to bring you back

29:24

to that

29:37

they've been a lot of for signings

29:40

instill a lot of questions about a

29:43

from europe is coming to the premier league as

29:45

, catch every

29:47

every single seat in the prem seems

29:49

to be looking to europe to sign

29:52

players coming from over there as

29:54

, plays have caught your eye at

29:56

the moment to take it when it's i'm

29:59

andy first

29:59

david's which plays the coming

30:02

over from the euro leagues are

30:04

caught your eye oh come to traveling

30:06

nothing assault one's gonna

30:09

be some bought man has net i

30:11

think is is great signing

30:13

for newcastle listeners wanted

30:15

him for very long time

30:18

that they had competition from milan

30:21

or think from our financial perspective

30:23

from why gather me land

30:25

would nowhere near the so say that newcastle

30:28

were willing to pay lil and

30:31

that just shows you really i mean we ninety chancellor

30:34

a well bags but you , they're

30:36

not spending at manchester city or chelsea

30:38

souls levels levels seen this before

30:40

like nick and for very long time you think of

30:43

all the way that i'm gonna can't i come into

30:45

leicester instead of marcell

30:48

or early on because is simply more simply

30:51

in in the in league but

30:53

you know he's a fiery that can build around

30:56

that i think when you look at say how

30:58

it very different position of course blue nike about

31:00

isis come over from legal

31:02

to the ground running really flourished

31:05

sink some signs when

31:08

it when it seem a building something newcastle

31:10

are building the

31:13

feeling of going from being

31:15

a good player in a good team and of

31:17

course i realize little had difficulties last

31:19

season but out though champions before that

31:21

and and a did brilliantly to to be

31:23

so with with thought man at a

31:25

centre back that

31:28

feeling of being one of the best players in the same

31:31

think it gives a little lift but you've seen

31:33

that in there in a confidence a blue ninety minutes

31:35

you know he's south ,

31:37

to his game that he couldn't even show in france

31:39

because he was was a posh water

31:42

carrier philly on surrounded by by

31:44

to apply as i'm on na

31:46

say a will be quite the quite the

31:49

for for for bought man

31:51

but thing is is a plan i

31:53

really needed they needed reinforcement needed they

31:56

i wonder if a c bigger clubs

31:58

will regret have in a

32:01

little guys who because the challenge for newcastle

32:03

is stop why

32:06

is common in and seen is seen it is a

32:08

stepping stone to to big a premier league

32:10

clubs again there

32:14

them the think of it we we

32:16

briefly touched the number of thing the car

32:19

camera aston villa is such

32:21

a smart with the brilliant brilliant they are

32:24

let he thought they had him in the bog but

32:27

apparently meet him with

32:29

gerrard swear so

32:31

just goes to show the power that gerrard got from

32:33

his planned as am that he can swing

32:35

in daylight thought so yeah think he's been

32:37

on he's he's versatile send a buck

32:40

defensive made is needed is well i'm

32:42

still young i think is already shown

32:46

he normally the of these potential how

32:48

reliable can be with myself so i

32:50

really really like that want a villa yet

32:53

, i'm really really impressed with

32:55

up and i think

32:57

if think was there throw a curveball

33:00

in i think you know brightens

33:02

recruitment has been really intelligent for

33:04

the past few years i think they've got a fantastic

33:06

manager and bought a i think

33:08

they they've the you know for them to get play like hulu

33:10

nc so who's been sure so impressive

33:13

in paraguay looks really interesting teenager

33:16

and he finished the season that with eleven and fourteen

33:18

before leaving a very just

33:20

robin player

33:22

good driven skills a billie

33:24

to finish as well you play anywhere across the front

33:26

line he's we're really interesting one to watch in

33:28

terms of how they develop in whether they send him on law

33:30

and somewhere but when they use straight with

33:32

me interesting to see how he goes so i

33:34

felt like a hot to get our mention as well because

33:37

this are smart business being done am about

33:39

the premier league by some of these teams here

33:41

it wouldn't have a schedule knowledge shows

33:43

your interests that sense matches

33:46

united are looking more more like

33:48

a dutch see nowadays because of

33:50

very to node oh trixie

33:52

draco the dutch flick is available are

33:55

headed straight for old trafford at

33:57

would you may kids this guy this got their from

33:59

find it in order to wrote

34:01

malaysia

34:03

yeah melissa yeah it's the mean ah

34:05

it's not quite dumbo it is it's one of those with

34:07

like like frankie the young this looks like

34:09

it's an inevitable and you know

34:11

as mining i can announce those are the same

34:14

time and parties as has just com

34:16

things that their fanbase for fanbase for little bit in

34:18

after such a hard time but yeah

34:20

melissa in on the hope is the

34:22

can be there next patrice evra me

34:24

can be there next to or tenacious player

34:27

from less box left wing box

34:29

extremely quick i'm very

34:31

very good one v one situations defensively

34:34

are i think he's got a lot of defensive argument

34:36

think he's already shown that he nor his position

34:38

sense is good and he's a strong

34:41

in a tackle very hungry player

34:43

and there's some

34:45

where to do i think on his and product

34:48

you , on the we're the removes into attack

34:50

i think that work to do their boots you are

34:52

buying potential here and the hope

34:54

is somebody like ten house who already knows

34:56

him him in or really

34:58

or that that he can

35:01

really ship and am and better

35:03

than previous monday night minds of done with

35:05

it with young talent so that's going to be really interesting

35:08

one to interesting c n

35:10

n do you have told you before about

35:12

what try word means in the europa

35:14

means of nigeria a

35:17

you know remember reply work

35:20

if somebody school try works very twin

35:22

to try word means to him and

35:24

try was the first sweden to come

35:26

back to german to the heavyweights try

35:29

one of our would be is

35:31

there going to not them for his ex

35:33

livable yeah that's

35:35

right i'm couldn't get a work permit

35:38

for liverpool size i learned about a couple

35:40

of times and then

35:43

then any on berlin and it was beautiful

35:45

but he ended up going there permanently really

35:49

really good for them and he

35:52

was that top score last season's good twenty

35:55

goals last season ended up being their top

35:57

score of all time in the supply of course of

35:59

any been some for fit for three

36:01

seasons and he's

36:03

lasco proved

36:05

, be quite a parting gift because it made sure they

36:07

qualify for the right the league next

36:09

season haven't been in the conference league league

36:12

season i think the

36:14

couple things that really impressive about him

36:18

easy strength and power is obviously something

36:20

that will make people look at him and

36:22

think i'm , suitable

36:24

for the premier league biasing as

36:26

as much more to him and i use a super

36:29

intelligent and is a great

36:31

finisher he doesn't just have to wait

36:33

for a chance he can he can make his own

36:36

own eases as eases and

36:38

i think if you look at the point midway

36:41

through last season when max

36:44

cruiser his strike partner went back to

36:46

falls back and he was quite open that

36:48

he went back to the money and which is fine

36:50

which is but cruises

36:54

have a really irreplaceable player

36:56

especially for really my only on is

36:59

a closer a really creative

37:01

so a striker you can see

37:03

can pass and i wondered how

37:05

it affects our any form when

37:07

cruiser when they ,

37:10

really brilliantly brilliantly to the why

37:12

on his shoulders and they got

37:14

to the europa league and ashley sabrina

37:16

the champions league they want that far off in in

37:18

in the end a she's part of

37:20

it was part of to him so i

37:22

think the he can succeed

37:25

in school goals in a

37:27

team that doesn't create bucket loads of chances

37:29

makes him not just a good

37:32

player but very valuable for

37:34

forest and what they're trying to do in reestablishing

37:36

themselves in themselves premier league what about this defensive

37:39

midfielder clues going to fulham

37:41

joe alley near am lucky

37:43

soon as behind what

37:46

we talked about of money before and

37:48

them out while back premier

37:50

league clubs are you , this guy

37:52

should be put to start in midfield

37:54

as side defensive midfielder don't

37:56

all the way forward and he should

37:59

have been at the that darby euros it would

38:01

given them a best start to the arise last

38:04

, i think think

38:07

a champion we sporting you've come

38:09

on so much in the past two to three to

38:12

really well bell both are you for

38:14

judicious on the ball as well

38:17

doesn't have to dive into tackles because he always

38:19

gets himself in a in in the right spot

38:21

even i can handle himself physically for

38:24

me artistry himself physically so is remarkable

38:26

that a card like like full

38:28

of a team like for them to get him but

38:31

size the financial powers the premier league

38:33

and think if you're looking for

38:36

protect the defense if you looking to have

38:38

a solid spine

38:40

he's absolutely ideal for them guys

38:42

, had an amazing response

38:45

on social media add to our

38:49

offered to to mention

38:51

any football is of interest

38:53

being transferred over summiteer

38:56

it it his absi amazing response amazon

38:58

and to say you can get out of us anytime

39:01

soon cause for the week out trouble ramble

39:03

at doesn't that a buyer at any

39:05

brasil and at day be jacket the

39:09

street is from brine oh

39:11

says and this is by the way about

39:14

players playing euro land a

39:16

lot coming to the uk but nevertheless am

39:19

past sebastian allah mid

39:22

west ham fans remember him very well of course

39:24

he went on and to her but now

39:26

gone to derby going to dortmund as kind

39:29

of a replacement is he for for

39:31

horn and he's going to man city

39:33

yeah i think the thing with follow

39:35

his he is extremely extremely different

39:38

arms censor at an island

39:40

am both i think what

39:43

are admire most about

39:45

what allah has done he could have really

39:48

really gone own death after that period

39:50

at west ham the and

39:52

in or really really been weird

39:54

down by that the see earlier of thought

39:56

you know the new want to use the word fairly they're both snowden

39:59

that essentially was that saw for him

40:01

to read and enough to rejuvenate self it

40:03

i x yet another

40:05

big move am i think

40:08

is really really impressive goes to show

40:10

his car days mentality and and

40:12

you know your what he's kept block in

40:15

terms of on the field i think you

40:17

know he's shown his energy

40:19

in the penalty area and

40:22

this aggression basically when

40:24

a call when it comes to attack in the ball in the penalty area

40:26

the way he takes a positions in their the way he's movements

40:29

am is as well i think that's really

40:32

impressive and i think you know dot me to switch

40:34

and i think we can see big switching in

40:36

dortmund style and and and and how they

40:38

play and which we looked at go

40:40

at a yeah me and as well who's also been odd

40:42

another dimension to the are taught as

40:44

can be interesting to see how everybody fits

40:46

in there , not

40:48

an overall from a dot and point

40:51

of view while without without think that

40:53

don't probably some of the smartest business in

40:55

business this summer so far they've

40:58

got their signings in early they haven't

41:00

been involved really in any you know

41:02

total any back and forth a new holland

41:04

was going he's gone early and

41:06

they been able to plan accordingly

41:09

and accordingly think they look and really think they chef

41:13

i would agree with that and i think

41:17

if , about the the the good bits

41:19

of business have done i think one that's kind of got

41:21

onto the radar that was going to be really important for

41:23

them he talked about accelerates lp

41:25

and white policies back earlier david

41:28

which are i would agree with i think

41:30

they've got sally as jan and from

41:32

a com it's going to protect their

41:34

defense then you defensive course because

41:36

that brought in a zula and

41:38

shot back and you

41:41

can have the best friend is in the world if you haven't got decent

41:43

defensive midfield it hold it down in front of them

41:45

with he says structure in front of them then

41:47

they just can be open especially with the possession

41:50

based my the that that dortmund place

41:52

i think janice

41:56

is going to be one the best place of business

41:58

costs what six million

42:00

euros which is is great pick

42:02

up a think he's proved himself it really

42:04

good premium really good bundesliga player

42:08

but got game by briefly tyler

42:11

think where you could be i

42:14

don't know more valuable than whole and is the

42:16

is is the right word because the

42:19

whole and is is it was obviously fantastic

42:21

for them and the numbers grace

42:23

think what it is without a even accept

42:26

is not just about the goals cause

42:28

his goalscoring for i actions goalscoring that

42:30

the champions league was exemplary last season

42:33

that to have a sense

42:35

, always always other

42:37

players in supply like

42:39

he did with the sense tradition

42:42

others or something are super important

42:45

and i think or yeah amy will benefit

42:47

from that maka royce will

42:49

benefit from that issue from a cocoa

42:52

would benefit from from that's

42:54

so i think is what he adds who team

42:56

besides goals that makes him superimposed

42:58

see if i try a balance the

43:00

aussies equality college friends

43:03

outside your reluctance to describe

43:05

his time the west ham is a faded

43:07

david kids are sick sex

43:10

superbly didn't work out from the west and birch

43:12

a strike of the can play with

43:15

his back to go him the penalty area

43:17

bay and whole people asks

43:19

classy be mad since know suggested

43:22

this is a quality quality signing

43:24

from them stay with me for another tweet

43:26

from caused him breaks a

43:29

says at this is a great question actually

43:31

school is talk about swap deals

43:33

year so much about it when

43:35

it comes to transfer windows

43:38

swap deals an awesome

43:40

he says is chrissy this year but do they

43:43

ever actually at

43:45

the was cigarette

43:47

yeah think

43:51

a lot more swap deals happen

43:53

then irrationally described

43:55

as is swap deals are things

43:58

especially price pandemics to the

44:00

having to be more creative of course

44:03

what do something that is a part in this area

44:05

transfer landscape for for donkeys

44:08

is passing we saw we've

44:10

the spice , of the

44:12

by celebrate is what deals that wasn't swap

44:15

deal would have been mirror lamps

44:17

and it's far too between barcelona

44:19

in events is is everyone

44:21

in the world knows that that is essentially swap

44:24

deal but is sold

44:26

as who independent transfers

44:28

why well the say for example

44:31

you've got two players

44:34

who you think are of equal value say

44:36

we got see players and kobe and

44:38

club a h have a player is worth

44:40

fifty million now when

44:43

you it's a sign

44:45

a player fifty million you couldn't

44:47

a more time the cost

44:49

of the transfer fee either the lengthy contracts i

44:51

signed for fifty million and it

44:54

, down on the accounts if he's got a five year contract

44:56

is ten million a year year you sell

44:59

apply for fifty for that

45:01

all goes on this goes

45:03

slight so he comes off

45:05

as a a big as and especially

45:07

when so many clubs would be

45:09

talking about the financial gymnastics

45:12

the barcelona and atletico

45:15

up a grappling with at

45:17

the moment if he starts with

45:19

at swap deal as two separate transfers

45:21

is why better for your accounts

45:23

very rigid agree that yeah

45:25

one hundred percent look it's is

45:28

, the name in the game now it's it's it's a business

45:30

thing and me know it's it's almost

45:32

not release the enough ever month on

45:34

the pitch stylistic point of view it is a

45:36

a business deal but this is where things

45:39

are now i'm clubs or think

45:41

have been run so pooley a

45:43

league clubs

45:44

they have to do transfers like this they

45:46

shouldn't have to buy it and put they do under

45:48

yes the name of the game okay

45:51

one would treat some jack i'm

45:53

kind of up answered this him

45:56

so many different ways both

45:58

of you but nevertheless is done

45:59

the best feel overly

46:02

some the carrot

46:04

i will we talked about midfielders

46:06

before the way and as sally as janna think

46:08

is is is out there for dortmund

46:11

or , want to point out was just go

46:13

either line in the last i also also

46:16

with senior sir it's a parasite

46:18

mom from porter now

46:21

i guess it will be people out there basically will

46:23

signs scratching their heads think

46:25

it hang on we could aside this guy permanently

46:28

for half the price is go back to poor

46:30

side a good season side a

46:32

it's time for p a c well sometimes

46:35

it's just not the right time he doesn't happen or

46:37

maybe that could have given the senior more of a child's

46:39

i certainly think as the case

46:42

the i think she's really

46:44

important for what pst a trying to do and

46:46

what they try to do is make more

46:49

, signings rather than superstar signings

46:52

signings did have a very good season that poor

46:54

sods why so important about

46:56

him is he

46:58

someone who uses the ball very

47:00

well he can make the team tic the

47:03

problem life hard for number of years is

47:06

a makeover as he is unlike any other

47:08

midfielder in the world is also

47:10

walking booking you can't keep himself

47:13

and , they need

47:15

someone to play with him

47:17

slash play for him as if needed

47:19

ah for ah long time

47:21

i think i've seen him but senior the player who can

47:23

do that am and for me it's

47:26

a favor of mine he has been for quite some time

47:29

a mock rocket hadn't

47:31

to leads from by munich han

47:33

million euros am

47:36

i think this law had a bad

47:39

, one of it when he the espanol

47:41

void left by a music music

47:43

were talking about player who is i

47:45

think on the verge of saddam thing you can be a

47:47

key part of the spin team the next

47:49

grids being team com i think

47:52

he probably could have commanded it

47:54

and move to a lot of clubs but you end

47:56

up going to buy and and he just happened to arrive

47:58

at by an and the time when they

48:00

were going through a lot of changes and

48:02

things weren't really settled and i think it really

48:05

really hinder them and i think he

48:07

was also impacted by the style of football

48:09

that was that was going to be played on

48:12

that as well and for whatever reason

48:14

you know for the those reasons involved

48:17

it didn't work out now he

48:19

get the chance i think the com the lead the

48:22

start and midfield next column phillips's off

48:24

the manchester city the for

48:26

a fraction of the money they're going to get the call them phillips

48:28

the get a player who can do exactly what phillips those

48:30

but also i think you can provide a little bit more as

48:33

well he can join

48:35

the it hockey completed the a boxer boxer he

48:37

caught if he wants to am is

48:39

passing ranch excellent vision

48:41

is a game really impressive to

48:44

he can stick can for n soy knee noise

48:46

the not scared of tackling of tackling which you'll have to

48:48

do plenty of and that leads team am

48:51

and i think he's a really really just

48:53

really really impressive player he's lovey to watch

48:55

i think the leads funds will you know that and

48:57

they going to be saw the phillips's gone by think they've got a player

48:59

and roka who's very excited and

49:03

well he does business has been really impressive

49:05

so far you know i think

49:07

the garrison and christian finance and rock

49:09

at all to fifty million i think

49:11

it is good business and that's

49:13

essentially gonna be the philips money the

49:15

gonna sell or affinion and from

49:17

the names that they've been linked with so far i'm

49:20

very confident that dog and somebody

49:22

me in or a equally as impressive and

49:24

athena the been linked with got poor a

49:27

really small hypes really exciting peles

49:29

charles capella as well and know the one

49:31

who's really interesting so interesting

49:34

can be interesting to see what leads do with their with their opinion

49:36

when next because i like what they do with the calvin

49:38

from someone

49:39
