Speaker 1: The welcome in. It's time for another morning espresso here
Speaker 1: on the SDH network. I'm Jason Longshore. All the soccer
Speaker 1: news you need to know. From Monday, February third, Atlanta United.
Speaker 1: Let's try to get caught up on everything since our
Speaker 1: last morning espresso. Miguel Almeron has been presented to the media.
Speaker 1: Our report from the press conference is up on the
Speaker 1: SDCH website, including some quotes from Chris Henderson and Garth
Speaker 1: Agerway that weren't part of the public portion of the
Speaker 1: press conference. The team went over to Birmingham beat Birmingham
Speaker 1: Legion two nil in a preseason match. You can listen
Speaker 1: to the full time report over at Odyssey or off
Speaker 1: the Woodwork. You can listen to our postgame show live
Speaker 1: from Monday Night Brewing with Tyler Pilgrim, sitting in with
Speaker 1: us with myself with Madison Cruise with John Nelson. Our
Speaker 1: thoughts on the game, our thoughts on what might be
Speaker 1: coming today. Maybe perhaps we'll talk about that here just
Speaker 1: a second. All that is available for you. It was
Speaker 1: a good win for Atlanta United. They'll be back in
Speaker 1: action on Wednesday, facing Orlando City from Bradenton, Florida at
Speaker 1: the IMG Academy. No plans for streaming on that one
Speaker 1: just yet, but stay tuned on plans for games from Bradenton.
Speaker 1: Hopefully things go well for that to happen. Let's get
Speaker 1: updated on Emmanuel lat day Laugh as of this morning.
Speaker 1: Scott Wilson at the Northern Echo in his kind of
Speaker 1: scene center for the transfer deadline day madness with Middlesbrough,
Speaker 1: he said that he's expecting that the Emmanuel lat day
Speaker 1: Laugh transfer to Atlanta gets confirmed today. Now I told
Speaker 1: you in full time report and in our postgame show
Speaker 1: from Saturday night that watch Middlesbrough and what they do,
Speaker 1: and that should be your tell on how this is going.
Speaker 1: They are looking to add Calecchi Ianaco from Sevilla on
Speaker 1: a season long loan. They have also added Samuel Illing
Speaker 1: Junior on loan from Aston More of a winger formerly
Speaker 1: of Juventus, but that's two editions on loan, so that
Speaker 1: maybe could go either way, but two additions in the
Speaker 1: attacking group. Middlesbrough are also linked along with Sunderland trying
Speaker 1: to get striker Adam Armstrong before the window shuts, but
Speaker 1: that one might be tough to pull off. The Telegraph
Speaker 1: reported that this morning so Middlesbrough's busy writers in Middlesbrough
Speaker 1: are expecting that this deal gets done. We haven't heard
Speaker 1: from any of our Italian friends who have been reporting
Speaker 1: different things about this deal. There's even some reports from
Speaker 1: over the weekend that Latte Lath is already in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I've not heard or seen that, but anything is possible
Speaker 1: at this point. I don't know. So with reports that
Speaker 1: it could get confirmed today, I would say turn your
Speaker 1: notifications on and I would also say keep an eye
Speaker 1: on Middlesbrough because they might announce that it's done before
Speaker 1: anybody else does. So just stay tuned in all of
Speaker 1: it other silly season stuff. I'm gonna run through this
Speaker 1: quickly because there's a lot of things and they could
Speaker 1: change even before this actually posts. It's that fluid moment.
Speaker 1: Most euro League windows close tonight local time. Sarah A, Portugal.
Speaker 1: They closed tomorrow night Turkey. A week later here we
Speaker 1: go Aston Villa. They have added Marcus Rashford on loan.
Speaker 1: They are close to adding Marco Asensio on loan from PSG.
Speaker 1: Manchester United. They got Patrick Dorgu Dunn from Leche. They
Speaker 1: are looking to get somebody else. It could be Mattistel
Speaker 1: from Bayern. It could be Christopher and Kunco from Chelsea.
Speaker 1: It could be Leon Bailey from aston Villa, with Bailey
Speaker 1: maybe the priority as the other two seem to have stalled.
Speaker 1: West Ham have added Evan Ferguson from Brighton on loan
Speaker 1: until the end of the season. Chelsea could go back
Speaker 1: to Manchester United for Alejandro Garnatcho. Fifty million pounds is
Speaker 1: what's being talked about there. Joe Felix should be leaving Chelsea.
Speaker 1: Milan may be the most likely because, according to La
Speaker 1: Gazetto Dello Sport, Jorge Mendez will meet with Chelsea directors
Speaker 1: pushing for the move. They want to transfer not alone.
Speaker 1: Milan doesn't want to pay a salary and pay him
Speaker 1: loan fee. They wanted a full transfer here, but for
Speaker 1: a low transfer fee. Arsenal they could go back to
Speaker 1: aston Villa for Ali Watkins. They want a striker. First
Speaker 1: offer was declined Tottenham. They're still trying to get Mark
Speaker 1: Gahey from Crystal Palace. Another offer has been rejected there.
Speaker 1: Tottenham and Manchester United could be battling it out to
Speaker 1: get Liam de Lapp from Ipswich. Manchester City they're trying
Speaker 1: to get deals over the line for Nico Gonzalez midfielder
Speaker 1: from Porto and Douglas Luiz from Juventus. Neither one has
Speaker 1: done yet. Lloyd Kelly he's passed his medical at Juventus.
Speaker 1: He should be headed to Juventus from Newcastle. That could
Speaker 1: be announced at any time. Santiago Jimenez, the Mexican international striker.
Speaker 1: Multiple reports in Italy say he's going to wear the
Speaker 1: number seven at Milan. He's coming from Fianord It should
Speaker 1: be announced today. He was at the San Siro to
Speaker 1: watch the match with Enter yesterday. Alvarro Morata has left
Speaker 1: Milan on loan to Galatasarai. I mean Rollheiser. He's at Benfica.
Speaker 1: He hasn't played a lot lately. Decent addition for Benfic.
Speaker 1: About nine million euro is what was reported when he
Speaker 1: was added, but he's not playing. They're interested in selling.
Speaker 1: Nobody's come with the right amount of money to sell yet.
Speaker 1: Neymar he made his big return to Santos yesterday, presented
Speaker 1: to the club's fans. That's gonna be a fun one
Speaker 1: to watch. Some MLS updates on transfer day in Europe. Remember,
Speaker 1: MLS clubs can still add players after today. They don't.
Speaker 1: Don't get hung up on the You always have to
Speaker 1: remember the window talks about incoming for that country, not outgoing.
Speaker 1: Orlando is trying to add Marco Pasilich from h and
Speaker 1: k Rieka, the Croatian winger. It's not done yet. It
Speaker 1: was gonna happen then, it wasn't gonna happen. Now it
Speaker 1: might be back on. This one was gonna happen. Now
Speaker 1: it might not happen. Edward Atwista from Palmyras to Orlando,
Speaker 1: according to Globo in Brazil, Palmyras not happy with the terms.
Speaker 1: They have reportedly halted the negotiations. Tom Bo says it
Speaker 1: could get close to getting done here. We'll see where
Speaker 1: that one falls. Houston Dynamo hasn't been announced yet, but
Speaker 1: they've reportedly acquired Jack McGlenn in a cash move for
Speaker 1: two million dollars from Philadelphia. There's also some confusing elements
Speaker 1: with the Red Bulls and NYC holding percentages on Jack
Speaker 1: McGlenn and I don't know how that continues on, And
Speaker 1: I don't know how Philadelphia was allowed to sign him
Speaker 1: as a homegrown. With that being said, I guess it
Speaker 1: was all negotiated out. I don't know. The homegrown thing
Speaker 1: is getting more and more confusing with people's windows and
Speaker 1: areas and radiuses and all. It's just theyve got to
Speaker 1: clean that up. It's getting too confusing. Red Bulls are
Speaker 1: reportedly close to signing Tim Parker as a free agent,
Speaker 1: as well Houston Dash of the NWSL. They've transferred Tarcian,
Speaker 1: their twenty one year old Brazilian defender, to leone seven
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety eight thousand dollars, the third highest transfer
Speaker 1: in the history of the women's game. Some quick updates
Speaker 1: on the results from all over the world. Real Madrid
Speaker 1: they lost to Espanol at Letti one so Madrid's lead
Speaker 1: over at Letti is one point and they're going to
Speaker 1: play each other on Saturday. Barcelona four points back. They
Speaker 1: beat Alavese Harry Kane, first player in Bundesliga history to
Speaker 1: score fifty five goals in his first fifty games. Byron
Speaker 1: won four to three over Holston Keel. Pep Guardiola, very
Speaker 1: upset with his club, called them fragile for surrendering in
Speaker 1: the closing stages. They lost five to one to Arsenal.
Speaker 1: City's hopes of being in the title race has been
Speaker 1: long gone, and there was a lot of talk about
Speaker 1: Arsenal players really giving erling Holland the business verbally, well
Speaker 1: erling Holland had some things to say after the last
Speaker 1: time that city beat Arsenal. So if you talk, you're
Speaker 1: going to get things through thrown back in your face.
Speaker 1: And don't complain about that. Don't complain about it. Nobody
Speaker 1: else should complain about it. If you want to talk,
Speaker 1: that's cool. Receipts get kept and they're going to get
Speaker 1: thrown back at you, and that's just the price of
Speaker 1: talking sometimes. Celtic Callum McGregor. He made his five hundredth
Speaker 1: appearance for the club. They're ten points clear at the
Speaker 1: top of the table. They won three to one over
Speaker 1: Motherwell i Aks for twelve points clear at the top
Speaker 1: of the table. They won the Classicer in the Netherlands
Speaker 1: over Fianord Kenneth Taylor with the winner in the ninety
Speaker 1: fourth minute. Let's go down to Argentina Independente. They're the
Speaker 1: only club to have won all three of their first
Speaker 1: games in the Opertura. They beat him Nacia two nil.
Speaker 1: They go to river Plate next. Kayler Navas he had
Speaker 1: a clean sheet in his debut in Argentina, helping NILS
Speaker 1: Old Boys beat Aldo Sivi one nil at the Estadio
Speaker 1: Marcelo Bielsa. Flamingo they won the super Copa do Brasil.
Speaker 1: On Sunday they beat both the Fogo three one pitch
Speaker 1: looked like a giant slipping slide. Women's game Barcelona, they
Speaker 1: lost to Levante. Forty six games unbeaten before this for Barcelona,
Speaker 1: that streak's done. First loss at home in over eighty
Speaker 1: games going back to February twenty nineteen. Chelsea's women they
Speaker 1: go ten points clear at the top of the Women's
Speaker 1: Super League one nil win over Aston Villa. News from
Speaker 1: MLS the La Galaxy first cash trade deal is now done.
Speaker 1: They get four million dollars for Dan Joviolch Sporting Kansas
Speaker 1: City cuts the check. He scored the game winning goal
Speaker 1: in MLS Cup this year, but he was under a
Speaker 1: U twenty two initiative slot. He's in the last year
Speaker 1: of that contract. The Galaxy weren't going to be able
Speaker 1: to sign him to a new designated player contract. They
Speaker 1: get something out of him and Sporting Kansas City gets
Speaker 1: a number nine that they've been chasing since they signed
Speaker 1: Alan Pulito and injuries really limited what we could see
Speaker 1: from that. This will be a fascinating one Sunday afternoon,
Speaker 1: kind of a fascinating game as well. Miami on their
Speaker 1: tour of the Americas, they played a preseason friendly in
Speaker 1: Panama against Sporting San Miguelito. Miami won three to won
Speaker 1: their first preseason win of the year. Benjamin Kremashi and
Speaker 1: Todayo Ashende and Fafa Pico with the goals. Messi played
Speaker 1: seventy six minutes. He was removed after a weird sequence.
Speaker 1: I'mar Kundomi. Defender for Sporting San Migaalito found him twice
Speaker 1: in a minute. The first one was horrendous sliding challenge
Speaker 1: from behind an awful tackle, could have been a red straightaway.
Speaker 1: The second one was just dumb and Messi seemed to
Speaker 1: be getting into angry Messi phase during all of this, So, oh,
Speaker 1: this is what happens sometimes when you're touring the world
Speaker 1: and playing teams and people trying to make a name
Speaker 1: for themselves by kicking the goat. Miami's got to be
Speaker 1: careful with that. Also, you saw the Messi's bodyguard actually
Speaker 1: got juked. This time. Somebody put the stutter step on him.
Speaker 1: He goes to ground. He got to MESSI and then
Speaker 1: the bodyguard I think, had a good laugh and pulled
Speaker 1: him away. And there you go. But first time I've
Speaker 1: seen this the bodyguard get juked. I guess it's pre
Speaker 1: season for him too. Luci Gonzalez he has been hired
Speaker 1: by the San Jose Earthquakes to be their new academy director.
Speaker 1: He was their head coach. Recently, he was also Dallas's
Speaker 1: head coach. He was also in the Dallas Academy, taking
Speaker 1: over from Oscar Pereja and building that to a level
Speaker 1: of being one of the most respected academies in the Americas.
Speaker 1: Other updates. Soda City FC of Columbia, South Carolina. They
Speaker 1: became the first ever back to back national champions of
Speaker 1: the UPSL last night out in California, Haiki Martin. He
Speaker 1: scored twice to help his side win. Check out the
Speaker 1: interview with him that I did last week before they left.
Speaker 1: It's on the YouTube channel here or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts Ricardo Peppy. He's re signed with PSV through
Speaker 1: the middle of twenty thirty. Couple of things off the
Speaker 1: field as studiantes in Argentina, they are preparing to hold
Speaker 1: a vote by some of their fifty six thousand members
Speaker 1: on whether to accept private investment. Now, this has not
Speaker 1: been allowed in Argentina until recently, where clubs can do it.
Speaker 1: The deal would be worth one hundred and fifty million
Speaker 1: dollars and the club would form a joint partnership with
Speaker 1: US businessman Foster Gillette, the son of Liverpool's former owner,
Speaker 1: and he has already been involved in providing money to
Speaker 1: get deals done for his Dediontes. It's been very confusing,
Speaker 1: very complicated. It feels like every move to every club
Speaker 1: in Argentina as Dudeiontes has tried to hijack it with
Speaker 1: Foster Gillette money. This would be the first club to
Speaker 1: be in a private investment joint partnership kind of deal.
Speaker 1: The AFA, the Argentine Football Association, is firmly against the proposal.
Speaker 1: A lot of Argentine fans are against for profit clubs.
Speaker 1: The money's gonna be essential because you have a lot
Speaker 1: of these clubs right now in Argentina that yes, they
Speaker 1: have kept the nonprofit system and the social role of
Speaker 1: these clubs, but they're also broke and they're not paying
Speaker 1: their bills. They're not paying their players. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's right, wrong, whatever. I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: maybe a way in between. Brazil in twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: allowed clubs to transform into limited company. He's an attract
Speaker 1: private investment. They have gotten the investment. Several clubs are
Speaker 1: now foreign owned, and it's kind of too early to
Speaker 1: say whether it's positive or negative, but you can see
Speaker 1: that Brazil financially has become by far the powerhouse of
Speaker 1: South America, with their clubs winning Copa Delbertadors and challenging
Speaker 1: at a top level, and you don't have many clubs
Speaker 1: from other countries doing that. Would this be a good
Speaker 1: thing for Argentina. I don't know. I am a little
Speaker 1: skeptical of Foster Gillette in general and how all this
Speaker 1: has played out. But stay tuned. Bournemouth, they are putting
Speaker 1: together a group of clubs, Black Knight Football Club. Bill
Speaker 1: Foley is the American owner of Bournemouth. His investment group,
Speaker 1: Black Knight Football Club is completing a deal to buy Morerince,
Speaker 1: a mid table club in Portugal's First Division. They've already
Speaker 1: taken over at Laurent and France, they've already taken over
Speaker 1: Auckland in New Zealand. They have a twenty five percent
Speaker 1: stake in Hibbs in Scotland. All the clubs would emulate
Speaker 1: the high energy, high pressing style that andoni Areola, the
Speaker 1: Spanish head coach at Bournemouth, has had success with. Interesting
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a multi club ownership group, but it's
Speaker 1: not big, big, big clubs. I'd like to see how
Speaker 1: this actually all fits together. All right, that's it for
Speaker 1: the morning espresso. Like I've told you today, it's going
Speaker 1: to be crazy with rumors and things all over the place.
Speaker 1: If a afternoon cortado is needed, and maybe a latte,
Speaker 1: maybe that's needed this afternoon. We will be back then
Speaker 1: with another special update. Stay tuned. Make sure you got
Speaker 1: your notifications on soccer down here on all your social
Speaker 1: media platforms. Subscribe here on the YouTube channel. Make sure
Speaker 1: you're ready. Buckle up. John Nelson will have the Sdham
Speaker 1: Show starting at nine to oh five this morning. You
Speaker 1: can watch that on Twitch, you can watch that on Facebook,
Speaker 1: you can watch that on x you can always watch
Speaker 1: that here on YouTube. And I'll be back tomorrow morning
Speaker 1: for espresso for sure. Got a feeling I might be
Speaker 1: back later today to talk a little bit more of
Speaker 1: all of these things on a crazy transferred deadline day
Speaker 1: at least in a lot of countries all over Europe
Speaker 1: and beyond, and it's going to affect everywhere, and just
Speaker 1: stay tuned, see you soon.
