<v Speaker 1>the routy man had to take him to the groomer.

35
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 1>He was not a fan and especially in current conditions,

36
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>when he was happy in his bed, you take him

37
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>to the groomer. He ain't happy about it. So he

<v Speaker 1>my friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot com.

53
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 1>So yesterday had to take the boss in to have

54
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 1>the surgery, and that's the reason that we're I'm going

55
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to wrap up a little early today because we have

56
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to take her to look for the follow up and

57
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 1>just so everybody knows and so everybody can be kept

58
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>up to date. It wasn't just a plate that got inserted.

59
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Uh where was it plate? It wasn't just a plate

60
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>that got inserted here. It ended up being worse than

61
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 1>they initially had seen in the X rays. So it

62
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 1>ended up being plate and screws. So plate and screws

63
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>by the time they were done with the procedure, and

64
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the procedure took like two two and a half hours,

65
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>so I spent a lot of time in off of

66
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>a Wi Fi hotspot, catching up on emails and editing.

67
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 1>So she had when we left the surgeon yesterday, she

68
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>had big old cast on. She could still wiggle her

69
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 1>fingers and things, and you know, with all of that,

70
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 1>then they tell you all the things that you're supposed

71
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to do to help them out the day that they're

72
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>not there. We had to go to multiple pharmacies to

73
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 1>try and track down medication. So that was fun because

74
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 1>you and the only saving grace there was that she

75
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>had been so nova caned up in the shoulder that

76
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>she couldn't feel anything. Will to answer your question. Three

77
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago we were at her mom's place for Christmas,

78
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 1>and she is If you've ever met her, you will

79
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 1>know that she is a very independent person. So what

80
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>she wants to do is if there's something that needs

81
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 1>to be cleaned, she'll clean it. She'll just go ahead

82
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and do it. She sees something that needs to be done,

83
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 1>she'll do it. And I always remind her, hey, if

84
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 1>you need help let me know. So we were taking

85
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Christmas decorations at her mom's house, at her at her

86
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>childhood home, her last childhood home, and we were taking

87
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 1>them up from the house up a hill into storage

88
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 1>sheds at the top of the hill in the backyard.

89
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>And most of the time it's pretty easy to do,

90
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>but there had been some precipitation and there is access

91
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 1>to the second that there were two sheds, one high

92
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in one higher. Access to the higher shed you had

93
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a ramp, and it was a ramp that was at

94
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 1>about twenty degree angle and it didn't have steps attached.

95
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>So when leaves fall on it and it gets wet,

96
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the wood gets naturally slippery. So it's dusk. She's taking

97
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 1>stuff into the shed and as she's coming out of

98
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the shed, she slips on the ramp and falls on

99
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>her wrist. So that's how she broke it. No snow

100
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>here in office HD yet either, so that was how

101
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 1>she broke it. Literally, as she's going down the ramp,

102
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>she slides, she falls on it, and she falls on

103
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:49.519
<v Speaker 1>her wrist, so that was how it broke. Initially, they

104
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>thought it was just a hairline fracture with no splintering

105
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>or anything. Like that, and so they were thinking, you know,

106
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe eight weeks, but she needed to have sur to

107
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 1>have it looked at. So yesterday when they had the surgery,

108
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 1>the doctor actually the main doctor, literally pulls out his

109
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.079
<v Speaker 1>phone and he's got a picture of the x ray

110
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 1>and he shows the x ray and he's like, Okay, well, this, this,

111
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 1>this and this, this is what happened. This is what

112
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>we thought. And so it's a plate and screws. So

113
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>instead of it being just a hairline fracture and a

114
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 1>plate inserted, so it ended up being a plate across

115
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>instead of down to go up against the fracture. Instead

116
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>of it being a plate, it's now a plate and screws.

117
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 1>And so we go back today and then we go

118
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>back in two weeks and then we see where things are.

119
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.959
<v Speaker 1>But my guess, well, and if she was she was

120
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.079
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to be in a cast either way. And

121
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>so we figured, okay, go ahead and start the healing

122
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>process up, go ahead, dive in and have surgery. And

123
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 1>so she's got surgery, plate and screws instead of just

124
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 1>cast and waiting and so this hopefully will get the

125
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>healing started faster. With the boss and so yeah, so

126
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 1>that's what that's how it happened. And so she came

127
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 1>home yesterday and she had her elbow. Now, she had

128
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>her arm in a sling, and so we had to

129
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 1>monitor that and make sure that everything was okay. But yeah,

130
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 1>we took a tour trying to find a pharmacy that

131
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 1>could fulfill a prescription yesterday. So and so, Yeah, Emilio

132
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>says he had a wrist fracture when he was eighteen.

133
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Cast all the way up the arm. Initially, that was

134
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>what they did. They had the wrap from her first physician.

135
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>It went all the way from here all the way

136
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 1>up the elbow, and it was there, and then they

137
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.519
<v Speaker 1>kind of trimmed things down when they figured out what

138
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. So initially it was all the way up

139
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.799
<v Speaker 1>from fingers all the way up past the elbow, but

140
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.919
<v Speaker 1>then they trimmed it down and so it literally is

141
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>like halfway up the arm and it's a radial fracture.

142
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>No surgery did happen yesterday, So and surgery. No surgery

143
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 1>for Amilia, but surgery for the boss yesterday. So cast

144
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>goes from fingers halfway up the arm, as opposed to

145
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>the initial thought where they went all the way covered

146
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>up so it just tips all the way up to

147
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the elbow. So yeah, so thank you ropes, thank you will,

148
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and thank you for card, and thank you everybody for

149
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts on social media all day yesterday. But that's

150
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>where we are with the boss. And so the boss

151
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 1>is having to navigate her dominant arm being in a

152
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:37.399
<v Speaker 1>cast and trying to get dressed with one arm. So

153
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 1>she's navigating that and it's kind of like, you know,

154
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>wardrobe twister, and so's she wants to figure that out

155
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>for herself. But I always say like, if you need help,

156
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm here. And so that's where we are. So we

157
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>go back to the doctor today, probably wrapping up about

158
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.639
<v Speaker 1>ten forty five, and then go back to the doctor.

159
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>They take the wrap off, put her in a cast

160
00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of weeks, then go back in a

161
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>other couple of weeks and sit there and go, Okay,

162
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>healing's doing good. You're gonna have another couple of weeks

163
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 1>in a cast. And I'm like, I won't tell me

164
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>something I don't know because when I broke my leg

165
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 1>in high school, it was four plus four, and so

166
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that was where we are. Badger says a wife had

167
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 1>hip replacement surgery about two months ago, worried that she's

168
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna need the other one soon. Take good care of her.

169
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, no, that's that is thank you, badger. No,

170
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I certainly do. And it was literally checking on her

171
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.039
<v Speaker 1>every hour on the hour. She was kind of watching

172
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 1>the college football game last night and so keeping an

173
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 1>eye on that in addition to everything else. But she

174
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.879
<v Speaker 1>finally did find a position where she could elevate and

175
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 1>actually did fall asleep and aspirint or sorry, advil actually

176
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>did better than the prescription that she took twice yesterday,

177
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and then she took advil the mill of the night.

178
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>So there we go. Will mom had similar two thousand

179
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.399
<v Speaker 1>and eight or nine ish. Get a call from the

180
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 1>ant you know the you got an ant problem, aunt

181
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Joni's here, you know the one the relative is too big?

182
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.919
<v Speaker 1>Why is your mom in the hospital? My mom's not

183
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>exactly Yeah, yeah, I can imagine how that call went.

184
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Will absolutely true. Yeah, it's like what tripped and fell

185
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 1>down the stairs? Worst break surgery? Yikes, uh, tripped and

186
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 1>dyech And that's and like I said, it was close

187
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 1>to this one, but because literally it was a ramp

188
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.519
<v Speaker 1>that was wet, and so she's going down the ramp

189
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>at dusk, can't see anything and she falls and breaks everything.

190
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Yet Tom, I was more. Tom was watching some of

191
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the CFP last night and wrist break surgery, but I did.

192
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 1>I was more concerned about the weather more than anything else.

193
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I was concerned about the weather and the Boss, and

194
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.200
<v Speaker 1>so I really wasn't watching. So I didn't watch much

195
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.159
<v Speaker 1>of the game last night. But uh so that's where

196
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:59.639
<v Speaker 1>we are. Uh So the update on the Boss is

<v Speaker 1>advanced Miggy and at landy night And like I said,

299
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:34.759
<v Speaker 1>we're going to talk about that with with Ben and

300
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>go okay, where did where does Miggie rank in the Newcastle?

301
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.319
<v Speaker 1>What purview? What happened? How would you rate his time

302
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>there and what happened from his perspective as to why

303
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.559
<v Speaker 1>his time on the field trimmed and his place pars

304
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.599
<v Speaker 1>be safe, my friend obviously, stay warm, so saysar Luis Marlow.

305
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>We're getting close to the here we go from for

306
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Britzier Romano, saysar Luis Marlow reported yesterday verbal agreement with

307
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Newcastle US twelve million, ten plus two. It was a

308
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.839
<v Speaker 1>number that we had out there. Club is negotiating final

309
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 1>details of the players contract too. Is ready to travel

310
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and sign, so that would be one piece that at

311
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Land United is chasing in silly season. So we'll keep

312
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.759
<v Speaker 1>an eye on that. And like I said, Emmanuel late Loth,

313
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 1>it looks like and this is where Ben will come

314
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.559
<v Speaker 1>in and we'll get the updates. Eighteen plus two is

315
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:34.880
<v Speaker 1>what the number is being posted. And it looks like

316
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen anything on Leads and late Lots. Like

317
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.559
<v Speaker 1>I said, we'll ask Ambandency if he has seen anything

318
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.319
<v Speaker 1>on that, but I haven't seen anything on leads in

319
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:49.079
<v Speaker 1>lat Lot. What we read yesterday from Teesside Live was

320
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that the report from Teesside Live had it Land United

321
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>is the only group. And I know that lat Love

322
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>might be if in Tom taking your thought from Leads,

323
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Leeds might be looking for someone to take the place

324
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.400
<v Speaker 1>of Patrick Bamford that has been out there for a

325
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:09.119
<v Speaker 1>little while. So is would Latte Loth be the hashtag

326
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Bamford replacement? Don't know, Like I said, well we'll find out.

327
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.839
<v Speaker 1>And Odson Edward. Where we are with the odds on

328
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Edward is the idea that his interest in Major League

329
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Soccer has cooled, and so that's why we haven't heard

330
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:29.880
<v Speaker 1>anything else. The last thing we heard was last week

331
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 1>that didn't have a time stamp attached to it, which

332
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 1>could have gone all the way back to the initial

333
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:39.079
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on odds on Edward and Atlanta United in fifteen million,

334
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.599
<v Speaker 1>where Sammy Moakbell from the Four Letter Paper just posted

335
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a one liner on his two hundred and eighty character

336
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.640
<v Speaker 1>app saying Atlanta United is interested put in a bit

337
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:50.000
<v Speaker 1>for it's Oddson Edward for fifteen million. That's all. That's

338
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.519
<v Speaker 1>the last thing we heard that didn't have a time

339
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.079
<v Speaker 1>stamp attached to it. Don't know how dated the information is,

340
00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:58.880
<v Speaker 1>but that was the last thing we saw on Edward.

341
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:01.960
<v Speaker 1>And then doing a little digging, apparently Edward's interest in

342
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Major League soccer has cooled from some of the papers overseas,

343
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.359
<v Speaker 1>and that is the reporting there with Edward that his

344
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.480
<v Speaker 1>interest in Major League soccer has cooled, and therefore at

345
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:19.839
<v Speaker 1>Land United hadn't pursued past that point. So Edward fifteen

346
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:24.119
<v Speaker 1>million interest cooled on his side. Nothing else has heard

347
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:26.400
<v Speaker 1>from since last week, and we don't know how dated

348
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that information was when it got posted Latte Life. Like

349
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.519
<v Speaker 1>I said, Tom, I haven't seen the Leeds info, but

350
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the hashtag Bamford replacement that does make sense if that

351
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:39.119
<v Speaker 1>in fact is what you're chasing after with that, So

352
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Middlesbrough Teessidelve had only said that Latte Lothe was being

353
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:48.359
<v Speaker 1>chased after by one club at Land United. Teessidelve is

354
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.079
<v Speaker 1>probably the place where we need to continue to look

355
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>at these kinds of things and see what's going on

356
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:57.599
<v Speaker 1>involving involving at Land United. So that is where that

357
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:03.480
<v Speaker 1>is where we are with all of the information Te's you. Now,

358
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.920
<v Speaker 1>if I could spell Tea's side live, there we go

359
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:13.599
<v Speaker 1>T's side live, okay, so Te's side live and trying

360
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:19.599
<v Speaker 1>to see if there is anything involving sports and Tea's sidelve.

361
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:21.599
<v Speaker 1>Of course it just wipes the whole thing out, so

362
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:23.839
<v Speaker 1>might have to go end up and chase the paper

363
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and see what's going on with that. So that's where

364
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:32.319
<v Speaker 1>we are with the three names. It looks like once

365
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:36.440
<v Speaker 1>again Fuda Hashi is linked toin haven't seen anything advanced

366
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>where that is concerned, but it looks that way. So

367
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that's why in ranking all of the reports that we're chasing,

368
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Fuda Hashi is four, Edward is three, Latte Loth is two,

369
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and Mickey's number one. And one of the interesting things

370
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that we saw that I saw in looking at the

371
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>latest involving Miguel Almron. Was the fo of him from

372
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the initial interest where he looked like he was looking

373
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:12.440
<v Speaker 1>for the uber at Charles de Gaull. Someone had had

374
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.519
<v Speaker 1>pulled that photo back in and was trying to do

375
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:17.880
<v Speaker 1>an update and sit there and talk about Miguel Almron

376
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:22.039
<v Speaker 1>and go yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, but using that

377
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:27.400
<v Speaker 1>old photograph. Ah, okay, thank you, oh Ornstein, Okay, United

378
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.079
<v Speaker 1>boost with Okay, thank you, so Lead United dot News.

379
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Hang on just a second, thank you, Thomas So. And

380
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:37.680
<v Speaker 1>like I said, this is what happens when I am

381
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:43.599
<v Speaker 1>a device down Leeds United dot News. That's an interesting

382
00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:47.799
<v Speaker 1>way to pursue it. So okay, so Lead United Dot

383
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:53.200
<v Speaker 1>News and Ornste So it's Ornstein, okay, so Ornstein. And

384
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:58.599
<v Speaker 1>this is as of eleven o'clock I'm guessing local times,

385
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:01.480
<v Speaker 1>so six o'clock the morning here in the East coast.

386
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:06.400
<v Speaker 1>So weather Leeds will sign a striker up for debate.

387
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Farka could no doubt do what the competition Farca

388
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:15.440
<v Speaker 1>hinted to Wilfrid Nonto Lte loth has received interest from Leeds.

389
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Seems to be the number one option for Farca in

390
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:20.880
<v Speaker 1>terms of the striker category. Leeds fans may think their

391
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>pursuit of the Ivorian is over with and land United

392
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.839
<v Speaker 1>close to signing Latai loth All may not be as

393
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>it seems. Signature of someone like Latta loth would be

394
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:33.039
<v Speaker 1>a statement of intent from Leeds in terms of their

395
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.960
<v Speaker 1>pursuit for promotion back to the PREM. Eleventh championship goal

396
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.920
<v Speaker 1>of the season surely keeping leads on the striker due

397
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:43.079
<v Speaker 1>to his form, but also the revelation. Ornstein is given

398
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.079
<v Speaker 1>the latest on Lte loth So okay, so thank y'all

399
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.279
<v Speaker 1>for the update, but no, but it goes to Ornstein

400
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and so Ornstein is Tier one, so Leedunited dot News

401
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.640
<v Speaker 1>would be tier four. Ornstein is a Tier one source.

402
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Ornstein is given the latest on the Latte a Lot situation,

403
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.480
<v Speaker 1>although talks contend and agreement still hasn't been reached for

404
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 1>the Ivorian to make the jump to major league soccer

405
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:07.880
<v Speaker 1>clubs in Europe and the PREM also monitoring the situation

406
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.279
<v Speaker 1>to potentially arrival Atlanta for his signature. No deal agreed yet.

407
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Laante Los's future remains open situation with the Whites not

408
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 1>out of the race yet so Michael Carrick once again

409
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.920
<v Speaker 1>had said for sure he'll keep playing, and we referenced

410
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.920
<v Speaker 1>that quote once before. So Ornstein solid, Leeds United dot

411
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:31.720
<v Speaker 1>News not so solid. But the fact that Ornstein has

412
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:36.039
<v Speaker 1>in here the note on Latte lat so keep an

413
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.720
<v Speaker 1>eye on that. Now. The question is for Atlanta United

414
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:46.119
<v Speaker 1>and Lanty United has eighteen plus two on the table. Yeah,

415
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and d Graham to your point, Burrow to Leeds, especially

416
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:59.079
<v Speaker 1>in a promotion chase, if there's interest that this could

417
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:02.920
<v Speaker 1>turn into something akin to a bidding warm So we'll

418
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.599
<v Speaker 1>see what we're staring at. And it is time. This

419
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:10.000
<v Speaker 1>is fun. This is fun because the last time we

420
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>saw this guy, we were trying to steer him to

421
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.920
<v Speaker 1>barbecue in Atlanta. We're trying to steer him into the

422
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.400
<v Speaker 1>ways of barbecue. And since it is nine point thirty,

423
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 1>incredibly punctual. Love it. And we've got Ben Jacobs dropping

424
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:29.519
<v Speaker 1>by fantastic and Ben already had golden ticket status when

425
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:31.839
<v Speaker 1>we talked to him. They're the man is Ben?

426
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Good morning?

427
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.119
<v Speaker 1>How are you you tell me you're the busiest man

428
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:38.240
<v Speaker 1>in show business? As I told you, I mean you're

429
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the one bouncing around out here.

430
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:43.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean We've had an incredible window, not just

431
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:46.319
<v Speaker 3>the things that have actually happened, but the maybe deals

432
00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:49.799
<v Speaker 3>and the big names that still have their future is unresolved.

433
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:52.480
<v Speaker 3>So needless to say, I'm busy, but it's a pleasure

434
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:53.079
<v Speaker 3>to join you.

435
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so great to have you here, my friend. What

436
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to do this morning is run through some

437
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.519
<v Speaker 1>of the names that are attached to it Landay United,

438
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Miguel Almeroon, Emmanuel a'te Lot, the Odds Son, Edward for A,

439
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Hashi Son, all those names. But I also wanted to

440
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:14.519
<v Speaker 1>talk about it Landi United and their perception there in

441
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Europe about being a player in quotation marks on the

442
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 1>world stage. So let's start with the players themselves. Miguel

443
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:27.799
<v Speaker 1>al Moron says, Luis Merrilo said, twelve million. That's agreed

444
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to right now, they're just kind of waiting on getting signatures.

445
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 1>What's the latest in the news that you have on MIGGI.

446
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:36.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so this was an exclusive story that myself and

447
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.400
<v Speaker 3>colleague Tom Bogart's broke, and no doubt many of your

448
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 3>listeners know Tom very well, the best in the business

449
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:46.599
<v Speaker 3>for MLS scoops. So Miguel Almeroon too, MLS and specifically

450
00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Atlanta United. You may remember it started with Charlotte FC.

451
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:53.839
<v Speaker 3>They've moved for Wilfrid Zaha and Atlanta have found an

452
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:58.200
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to bring Almeroon back. It's not one hundred percent done,

453
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:00.000
<v Speaker 3>but what I can say is there's a verbal agreement

454
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.440
<v Speaker 3>between the two clubs. My understanding is that it's ten

455
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 3>million US dollars plus add ons, and that's about half

456
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.400
<v Speaker 3>what Newcastle we're looking for in January twenty twenty four

457
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:13.920
<v Speaker 3>when it was the Saudi club Al Shabab that we're

458
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.519
<v Speaker 3>looking and Amiron is very keen on returning to Atlanta.

459
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:20.920
<v Speaker 3>The personal terms are being finalized and then there's just

460
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.680
<v Speaker 3>one question mark, which I think shows you the amicable

461
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 3>relationship between the clubs, and that's when he arrives. Because

462
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.640
<v Speaker 3>from Newcastle's point of view, they want to keep as

463
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.000
<v Speaker 3>much depth as they possibly can right through the end

464
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 3>of the window. There's no guarantee that they replace Almoron

465
00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:39.119
<v Speaker 3>right now, like for Light. They could, but it's not definite.

466
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.880
<v Speaker 3>And obviously all the MLS teams are in their pre

467
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.480
<v Speaker 3>season and MiG An Almeron is already fit. He's midway

468
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:47.440
<v Speaker 3>through his own season so it may not be that

469
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 3>much of a concern to Atlanta United if it drags

470
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.519
<v Speaker 3>on a few more days, simply because of the fact

471
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.519
<v Speaker 3>that they're in a privileged position where they're building up

472
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 3>to the new season and they're going to be inheriting

473
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 3>a very fit player. So the expectation, because Newcastle already

474
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:05.240
<v Speaker 3>have vibly accepted the deal, is this one gets done.

475
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.960
<v Speaker 3>It's just a case of when exactly he's given the

476
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.400
<v Speaker 3>permission to fly, if it's going to be now, or

477
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 3>if it's going to be right at the beginning of

478
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 3>February near of the window closes. Because Newcastle have kept down,

479
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:17.359
<v Speaker 3>we're on in their match day squad and they've still

480
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:20.039
<v Speaker 3>got a couple more games that potentially, if they're not

481
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:22.680
<v Speaker 3>going to replace him, they could look to use almir

482
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:25.119
<v Speaker 3>on four at least in their match day squad.

483
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.519
<v Speaker 1>What for those who are not familiar with the day

484
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.039
<v Speaker 1>to day elevens of Eddie Howe and Newcastle, why was

485
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:38.160
<v Speaker 1>it that Miguel went from starter and contributor to someone

486
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>who is part of now just the game day eighteens

487
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:43.839
<v Speaker 1>and coming up occasionally playing in cup ties things like that.

488
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Why did the for those not familiar why did he

489
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.960
<v Speaker 1>go from starter to bench player in the Newcastle universe.

490
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm not sure that he necessarily made that kind

491
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:59.359
<v Speaker 3>of linear progression. It was more that if you remember

492
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:02.759
<v Speaker 3>the half season a few seasons ago, when Almorn was

493
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.359
<v Speaker 3>just on fire between the beginning of the season and

494
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 3>Christmas into that break that led us to the Catar

495
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:12.519
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty two World Cup, and at that point he'd

496
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:16.440
<v Speaker 3>had such a positive preseason and exploded onto the scene

497
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.640
<v Speaker 3>and showed a goal scoring streak that Newcastle really hadn't

498
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:24.119
<v Speaker 3>seen before and became indispensable as you would expect really,

499
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.039
<v Speaker 3>but in that build up to that season, the fan

500
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:30.079
<v Speaker 3>base was saying the same thing as they are now,

501
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.359
<v Speaker 3>that they would not be averse to him being sold.

502
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.079
<v Speaker 3>Newcastle were open to offers. He just changed everybody's mind.

503
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.440
<v Speaker 3>And then, unfortunately, since that kind of purple patch, his

504
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 3>goal scoring and contributions have leveled off and therefore he's

505
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:50.200
<v Speaker 3>become more of a squad player and Newcastle, therefore, even

506
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:52.720
<v Speaker 3>before the Purple Patch, had been looking for this kind

507
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:55.440
<v Speaker 3>of right sided forward or winger that can have a

508
00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:59.880
<v Speaker 3>more significant goal impact than Almeron is capable of. At

509
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.240
<v Speaker 3>the moment, he's finding himself on the bench. Jacob Murphy

510
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:05.680
<v Speaker 3>sometimes plays on that right hand side. It's a four

511
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:08.759
<v Speaker 3>to three to three formation. You've got Alexander Izak and

512
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.920
<v Speaker 3>then usually antiin Y Gordon is on the left hand side.

513
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.759
<v Speaker 3>So it leaves Almeron as a little bit more of

514
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.400
<v Speaker 3>a squad player. There is Harvey Barnes that can play

515
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 3>on both sides as well, so he's fallen down the

516
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 3>pecking order, But like I say, you could make more

517
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.640
<v Speaker 3>of an argument that he's returned to where he was

518
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:25.079
<v Speaker 3>two and a half years ago.

519
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:27.039
<v Speaker 2>He changed Eddie Howe's mind.

520
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Still very valuable because he's very positive, very happy, very

521
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:34.279
<v Speaker 3>liked by his teammates. And we shouldn't underestimate the impact

522
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.160
<v Speaker 3>footballers can have as characters, even if they're not starting

523
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.400
<v Speaker 3>every week. Actually, a lot of managers like a player

524
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.920
<v Speaker 3>that says, okay, I accept my role in a squad

525
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:44.519
<v Speaker 3>rather than the starting eleven, and I'm happy for that

526
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:46.079
<v Speaker 3>and I'm going to be hungry to try and earn

527
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:46.920
<v Speaker 3>my opportunities.

528
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:48.759
<v Speaker 2>And Almeron is that kind of player.

529
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 3>But the reality is that on and off Newcastle have

530
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.920
<v Speaker 3>been looking to offload Almeron that I would say the

531
00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:58.079
<v Speaker 3>best part of the last four or five transfer windows.

532
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>When you're also discussing Elana United chasing after a nine.

533
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:06.559
<v Speaker 1>There are two names that are right now front and center.

534
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Latte Lath, who is currently at Middlesbrough, their leading scorer,

535
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and they're in a pursuit for hopping back into the

536
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>promotion playoffs in the championship. And also the name Odds

537
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>and Edward. But that has cooled somewhat when it comes

538
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to pursuit anything else that you're hearing about Latte Lath,

539
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:29.000
<v Speaker 1>we had had the leads tie where Daniel Farker might

540
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:31.799
<v Speaker 1>be chasing after him. To add things up, anything else

541
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 1>that you're hearing with your ear on the train tracks

542
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:35.680
<v Speaker 1>about those two.

543
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:37.759
<v Speaker 3>I hope it's not on the train tracks, not if

544
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:41.440
<v Speaker 3>there's any active trains coming anyway. But Latte Lath is

545
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.400
<v Speaker 3>the top choice for Atlanta and Edson Odward is up

546
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.039
<v Speaker 3>there too. But I think if they can get Lade Lath,

547
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 3>then the Edson Odword deal will be off the table.

548
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:53.960
<v Speaker 3>It's just a case spinning both plates because time is

549
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:58.359
<v Speaker 3>running out and both have relative complications. The Latte lat

550
00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:01.400
<v Speaker 3>situation is that in the last week or so, Atlanta

551
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 3>United have had very positive talks with Middlesbrough, so there's

552
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:08.119
<v Speaker 3>not that many concerns that they can't get to a

553
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 3>full verbal agreement. They're just about there. It's more a

554
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:16.119
<v Speaker 3>realization now from Atlanta's perspective that this is an in

555
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:20.759
<v Speaker 3>deman player and it becomes relatively likely that another suitor

556
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.279
<v Speaker 3>will enter the race in the final days of the window. So,

557
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:26.720
<v Speaker 3>my reader, the situation is that Atlanta have taken the

558
00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:30.000
<v Speaker 3>negotiations about as far as they can with both the

559
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:33.079
<v Speaker 3>player and also club to club, and they've got all

560
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:35.160
<v Speaker 3>of their ducks in a row. It's just that if

561
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:39.200
<v Speaker 3>you're Middlesbrough, you're waiting for a bidding war or a twist.

562
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:41.640
<v Speaker 3>And again you're in no rush to sell because if

563
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:44.759
<v Speaker 3>they're going to lose him, then keep the player scoring

564
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.519
<v Speaker 3>and in the squad and getting as many points as

565
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 3>you can out of him before he eventually departs. So

566
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:53.599
<v Speaker 3>don't think it's a case of Atlanta United up against Leeds,

567
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.519
<v Speaker 3>because Leads sources that I speak to deny that they

568
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.559
<v Speaker 3>have place to bid. The interest is genuine, but they've

569
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 3>not put a formal offer on the table. And interestingly,

570
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 3>and this might be the clue that I alluded to

571
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.440
<v Speaker 3>a moment ago. The leads perspective from sources I speak

572
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:11.039
<v Speaker 3>to is he's either going to go to Atlanta or

573
00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:14.400
<v Speaker 3>a Premier League club. And it's that Premier League club

574
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:16.880
<v Speaker 3>that still has the question mark over it because a

575
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 3>lot of the links that we've heard so far are

576
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:21.000
<v Speaker 3>not from Premier League clubs.

577
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Looking for strikers. And there's one or two that I

578
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:23.440
<v Speaker 2>can mention.

579
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:27.279
<v Speaker 3>Leicester City are looking for goals, Everton are in the

580
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:31.279
<v Speaker 3>market for a striker. West Ham and Bournemouth are both

581
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:33.519
<v Speaker 3>going to be alert to opportunities, and west Ham and

582
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:36.119
<v Speaker 3>Bournemouth the more looking at Brighton's Evan Ferguson. And we

583
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.720
<v Speaker 3>know that west Ham bid for John Durant as well,

584
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:41.720
<v Speaker 3>and that was turned down yesterday, a story broken by

585
00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:46.039
<v Speaker 3>the excellent David Ornstein. Fifty seven million instantly rejected by

586
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:48.319
<v Speaker 3>Aston Villa. So there's a few Premier League clubs and

587
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:50.400
<v Speaker 3>the reason why I mentioned these other transfers is just

588
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:52.640
<v Speaker 3>to give you that context of three or four in

589
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:56.359
<v Speaker 3>the Premier League, just moving around from target to target,

590
00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:59.279
<v Speaker 3>working out the opportunism of what might be possible in

591
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.119
<v Speaker 3>the fine allows the window, and maybe one of those

592
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:06.720
<v Speaker 3>four clubs I think less likely West Ham, possibly Bournemouth,

593
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.599
<v Speaker 3>certainly Lester in the mix as well. They all could

594
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:12.840
<v Speaker 3>decide at the last minute just to enter that race,

595
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.599
<v Speaker 3>and that's why I think that Middlesbrough abiding their time,

596
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.920
<v Speaker 3>and then it'd be unclear at this stage if late

597
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:20.199
<v Speaker 3>Elath would say I still want to go to Atlanta,

598
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:23.360
<v Speaker 3>finalize that deal, or I fancy an opportunity in the

599
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Premier League. So it's a bit of a nervous wait

600
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:27.920
<v Speaker 3>there for Atlanta United. And then if they get to

601
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.119
<v Speaker 3>probably four or five days left of the window and

602
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:33.559
<v Speaker 3>they don't think that that one's possible, or a Premier

603
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:36.519
<v Speaker 3>League suitter comes in and it's off the table, that's

604
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:38.599
<v Speaker 3>where they've put I wouldn't quite call it a backup

605
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:42.239
<v Speaker 3>bid because that's disrespectful to the money offered and the player.

606
00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:45.840
<v Speaker 3>But the Edward situation is a bid in the region

607
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:50.119
<v Speaker 3>of twenty million US dollars, which again underlies the big

608
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.360
<v Speaker 3>spending of Atlanta and how ambitious they've been so far

609
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:58.400
<v Speaker 3>in this window. And the expectation again is that financially speaking,

610
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:00.840
<v Speaker 3>that offer will be good enough and then it will

611
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:02.760
<v Speaker 3>be down to the player to decide whether or not

612
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:05.639
<v Speaker 3>he wants an MLS opportunity, and I think it's fifty

613
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:08.360
<v Speaker 3>to fifty as to whether he agrees to that move,

614
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:11.599
<v Speaker 3>especially knowing at the moment it's on ice, because Atlanta's

615
00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:14.119
<v Speaker 3>number one priority remains latt a laugh.

616
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.519
<v Speaker 1>Our buddy Ben Jacobs from a give me sport and

617
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:19.440
<v Speaker 1>talk sport where I get to hear him do play

618
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:21.559
<v Speaker 1>by play occasionally here on this side of the pond,

619
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:23.960
<v Speaker 1>propping and by and hanging out with us here this

620
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:26.639
<v Speaker 1>morning in the middle of silly season. Let me ask

621
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you about Atlanta United and MLS's place in the world sphere.

622
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:35.920
<v Speaker 1>How do you think, from all of your interaction and

623
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:39.199
<v Speaker 1>all the work that you do, how is Major League

624
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Soccer viewed as a quote end quote player on the

625
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:46.079
<v Speaker 1>world stage and chasing after talent? And I guess Atlanta

626
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:48.679
<v Speaker 1>United sub subsection B of that. How do you think

627
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a Landa United is viewed as a player a pursuer

628
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:56.840
<v Speaker 1>of talent there on that side of the Atlantic. Yeah.

629
00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:01.400
<v Speaker 3>I think we started, didn't we with the prism of exports,

630
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:05.159
<v Speaker 3>and that was our kind of window into MLS. And now,

631
00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:09.119
<v Speaker 3>as we see from Maritzio Pochtino's international squad, the vast

632
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:12.960
<v Speaker 3>majority of male players anyway that have come through MLS

633
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:16.679
<v Speaker 3>have ended up exploding on the scene somewhere in Europe.

634
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:19.920
<v Speaker 3>And that's the kind of Christian policic ripple effect. But

635
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:22.360
<v Speaker 3>if you go back further, there's the sort of every

636
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.960
<v Speaker 3>American top goalkeeper under the sun in the Brad Guzan,

637
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:29.639
<v Speaker 3>Tim Howard, Casey Keller era again finding their way over

638
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:32.440
<v Speaker 3>to a European club and more often than not in

639
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:35.320
<v Speaker 3>the Premier League as well. And once you got that influx,

640
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:40.039
<v Speaker 3>I think the opportunity to find young players from MLS

641
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:43.920
<v Speaker 3>really became clear to most clubs and fans. And there's

642
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:48.559
<v Speaker 3>definitely now not this feeling of an American player coming

643
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.320
<v Speaker 3>to Europe and not being good enough in terms of

644
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:54.599
<v Speaker 3>technique or development. If anything, it's the opposite now and

645
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:56.960
<v Speaker 3>there's a feeling that the infrastructure that you have in

646
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.719
<v Speaker 3>place through the college system and the USA into the

647
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:04.920
<v Speaker 3>MLS is very secure and structured and it's creating a

648
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:08.079
<v Speaker 3>new generation of both male and female talent that can

649
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:10.480
<v Speaker 3>go on to big things. So then phase two is

650
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:14.199
<v Speaker 3>can you keep these players in MLS, Because although it's

651
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:16.519
<v Speaker 3>great to say you develop them and sell them on

652
00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:19.440
<v Speaker 3>very early in their career. The way MLS grows is

653
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:23.760
<v Speaker 3>obviously by cultivating homegrown or home based talent and keeping

654
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:25.760
<v Speaker 3>them in the league for as long as possible, and

655
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:29.159
<v Speaker 3>that's what raises the standard and the value of it.

656
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:32.559
<v Speaker 3>And then if foreigners come as well, you have that balance,

657
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:35.400
<v Speaker 3>as we've seen from the Premier League since the early nineties,

658
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:37.960
<v Speaker 3>that allows the lead to develop and it is a

659
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.679
<v Speaker 3>balance between wanting US talents and promoting them in addition

660
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:46.159
<v Speaker 3>to having those box office stars to get global eyeballs.

661
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:50.519
<v Speaker 3>And I think unlike USA ninety four, we're now going

662
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:53.719
<v Speaker 3>to see the World Cup in twenty twenty six, have

663
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:58.320
<v Speaker 3>a really meaningful legacy in terms of grassroots, in terms

664
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:01.519
<v Speaker 3>of infrastructure, hope fully a strong knock on effect to

665
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:05.000
<v Speaker 3>the women's game as well. So I think MLS now

666
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.440
<v Speaker 3>is starting to catch the eye. There's more global broadcasters,

667
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:11.519
<v Speaker 3>there's more foreign talent coming over. What a coup for

668
00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Charlotte to get Zaha or for Atlanta to be able

669
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:17.159
<v Speaker 3>to re sign Miguel Almeren. And I think the ameor

670
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:18.920
<v Speaker 3>on thing shows you even though he's a little bit

671
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:22.079
<v Speaker 3>older now. Of course, that full circle moment when he

672
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:25.920
<v Speaker 3>left Atlanta United and realized he was going on to

673
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:28.880
<v Speaker 3>big things. Did he think at that point that he

674
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:31.519
<v Speaker 3>would go full circle and still feel that he could

675
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:35.320
<v Speaker 3>offer something in terms of peak Almere on returning to

676
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:37.679
<v Speaker 3>Atlanta United, and I think when he left the appetite

677
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:40.880
<v Speaker 3>to return probably wasn't there. But now he realizes that

678
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:43.440
<v Speaker 3>he's walking into a very competitive league of.

679
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:44.239
<v Speaker 2>A high standard.

680
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:49.239
<v Speaker 3>Then you look specifically at Atlanta United and I think

681
00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:55.239
<v Speaker 3>it has naturally grown to be synonymous with success. I

682
00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:59.840
<v Speaker 3>remember the twenty eighteen MLS Cup definitely putting the club

683
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:03.599
<v Speaker 3>on the radar, and those were the sort of glory years,

684
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.239
<v Speaker 3>of course, because there was a US Open Cup as well,

685
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:09.960
<v Speaker 3>and in addition, naturally they'd won in i think twenty

686
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:13.639
<v Speaker 3>eighteen the MLS Eastern Conference Championship as well. So in

687
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:18.519
<v Speaker 3>that kind of period we started to, I think, realize

688
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:22.800
<v Speaker 3>how serious Atlanta United were. We know that some of

689
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.920
<v Speaker 3>the backroom staff went across from Atlanta United, like Darren

690
00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Eels who was at Newcastle sadly now has ill health

691
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:33.159
<v Speaker 3>so has had to step away from that role. The

692
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:36.519
<v Speaker 3>likes of course of Tata Martino or Frank debaor and

693
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:38.760
<v Speaker 3>so on, all again putting the club on the map

694
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:42.119
<v Speaker 3>and I just think you don't get that caliber of

695
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:47.239
<v Speaker 3>backroom staff or that blend of star power and talent.

696
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Staying in the MLS unless your league is progressing.

697
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 3>So I think MLS is in a very healthy position

698
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:55.440
<v Speaker 3>and it's only going to get stronger off the back

699
00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:56.960
<v Speaker 3>of the twenty twenty six World Cup.

700
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:01.719
<v Speaker 1>What about when it comes to slashing the wallet. Say,

701
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:06.239
<v Speaker 1>I am insert MLS owner here or MLS director of

702
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Soccer Operations and I go wandering over to Europe and

703
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm chasing after talent. What is the perception from your

704
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:18.559
<v Speaker 1>mind about MLS coming over And it's like, yeah, well,

705
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I want your guys, I want your guys. I want

706
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:25.639
<v Speaker 1>your guys to do front offices in say Premier League, Championship,

707
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:27.199
<v Speaker 1>all the other leagues that you look at, sit there

708
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and look at an MLS guy and go, who are

709
00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:32.360
<v Speaker 1>you or do they actually have them as an equal

710
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:34.880
<v Speaker 1>player at the table and basically money talks, It doesn't

711
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:36.360
<v Speaker 1>matter where it comes from these days.

712
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, an equal player. Remember half the Premier League. Now

713
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:42.800
<v Speaker 3>we've got some form of American investor or owner. So

714
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.559
<v Speaker 3>it's flipped and you're not dealing with top clubs in

715
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:49.400
<v Speaker 3>England anymore. That are all English, are all ingrained in

716
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:53.800
<v Speaker 3>English football, they're global, and you could argue they're America

717
00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:57.440
<v Speaker 3>predominant in terms of the makeup of their collective shares.

718
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:00.320
<v Speaker 3>So it's actually a lot of the time I'm an

719
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:04.360
<v Speaker 3>American owner dealing with an MLS club, and they know

720
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:08.000
<v Speaker 3>exactly the potential and they know the growth opportunities. So

721
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:11.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't think we're looking at America being at less

722
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:15.159
<v Speaker 3>of a standing, whether we're talking MLS or even USL,

723
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:17.599
<v Speaker 3>because remember a few years ago, USL used to basically

724
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:21.320
<v Speaker 3>be reserve teams, and that caused an issue because you

725
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:25.199
<v Speaker 3>had this odd balance of very young players coupled with

726
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:29.280
<v Speaker 3>effectively demoted ones, and there was maybe a bit of

727
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:33.760
<v Speaker 3>a lack of cohesiveness and balance and in some cases motivation.

728
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.159
<v Speaker 3>Now they've ditched all of that and you have a

729
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:40.760
<v Speaker 3>competitive league, effectively a tear down from the MLS. And

730
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:43.400
<v Speaker 3>again you have a lot of pathways for players to

731
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:47.400
<v Speaker 3>come through, and global clubs realize that, so there isn't

732
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:50.360
<v Speaker 3>as much of a risk factor now about signing a

733
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:53.559
<v Speaker 3>player from MLS. And in addition to that, the clubs

734
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:58.400
<v Speaker 3>are cultivating partnerships because the clarity of progression for male

735
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:02.239
<v Speaker 3>and female players is so much stronger and arguably even

736
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:05.480
<v Speaker 3>more stable than in the UK because in England you

737
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:08.599
<v Speaker 3>get pulled away at let's say eleven or twelve told

738
00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:11.920
<v Speaker 3>you the next superstar. It can impact your location, your family,

739
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.440
<v Speaker 3>your schooling, whereas in America there's much more of a

740
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:20.519
<v Speaker 3>pathway through collegiate into USL or MLS or obviously in

741
00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:22.960
<v Speaker 3>the case of the women, the USL Women's League or

742
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:28.440
<v Speaker 3>the NWSL, and the progression I think allows global clubs

743
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:33.119
<v Speaker 3>to track players more definitively. Plus the fact that there's

744
00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:36.199
<v Speaker 3>a lot more emphasis now in MLS on data on

745
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:40.679
<v Speaker 3>injury prevention, on technical training, and what we're seeing that

746
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:43.559
<v Speaker 3>perhaps didn't exist ten years ago as a result is

747
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:48.840
<v Speaker 3>top clubs bringing talents over at very young ages for

748
00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:51.639
<v Speaker 3>a kind of try before you buy experience, which is

749
00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:54.679
<v Speaker 3>part of the courting process, to say come over, watch

750
00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:58.119
<v Speaker 3>a match, meet the squad, train with them. Sometimes it's

751
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:01.360
<v Speaker 3>a formal trial and a exclusive that me and Tom

752
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:05.880
<v Speaker 3>broke a few weeks maybe ago now, was nim Fasher Birchamas,

753
00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:08.960
<v Speaker 3>who is a Charlotte FC player, and he got flown

754
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:11.079
<v Speaker 3>over to Manchester United. And don't think that would have

755
00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:14.000
<v Speaker 3>happened ten fifteen years ago, because likely that kind of

756
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:17.280
<v Speaker 3>player age profile wouldn't really have been on a top

757
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:20.719
<v Speaker 3>club's radar. But now most of these European teams have

758
00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:25.239
<v Speaker 3>got full and significant scouting networks in North America. They've

759
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:28.039
<v Speaker 3>always had them in Central and South America as well,

760
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.760
<v Speaker 3>and the World Cup is obviously an extra opportunity with

761
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.360
<v Speaker 3>the investment to develop that grassroots talent, and the back

762
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:39.119
<v Speaker 3>legacy of the World Cup will be that probable twelve

763
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:42.840
<v Speaker 3>to sixteen age group post twenty twenty six, with all

764
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:46.000
<v Speaker 3>the investment and the bars and the facilities getting into

765
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:49.920
<v Speaker 3>their late teens, breaking into USL or MLS, and I

766
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:52.280
<v Speaker 3>think you'll find that there's a lot of European clubs

767
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:55.360
<v Speaker 3>ready to pounce for that kind of profile and talent

768
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:58.599
<v Speaker 3>because they realized there's a real window of opportunity to

769
00:43:58.679 --> 00:43:59.880
<v Speaker 3>recruit in this market.

770
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:03.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, So before we let you go, what storylines

771
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:05.159
<v Speaker 1>are you chasing after today? When it comes to the

772
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Premier League in silly season and ruben amor room trashing

773
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:11.039
<v Speaker 1>TVs and arch pasta cargo. Yeah, I'm going to fix

774
00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:13.280
<v Speaker 1>it and don't worry about everything. What are you chasing

775
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:13.920
<v Speaker 1>after today?

776
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:16.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm leaving the MLS to Tom, although we are

777
00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:20.800
<v Speaker 3>both across the Almiron and Latte latt situations which could

778
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:26.119
<v Speaker 3>move very quickly. I think more so Almiron than necessarily Latte,

779
00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:28.679
<v Speaker 3>laugh only because of Burrough's perspective to wait and see

780
00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:31.519
<v Speaker 3>for a little bit. I'm across Marcus Rashford's future. We

781
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:34.960
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't rule out a stay at Manchester United, but certainly

782
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:38.320
<v Speaker 3>Dortmund and possibly Barcelona are going to be there. Aleandro

783
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Garnaccho Chelsea and Napoli both interested in the player. Key

784
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:46.480
<v Speaker 3>question is what price might Manchester United reluctantly sell for.

785
00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:49.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm told in the region of eighty million US dollars,

786
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:52.039
<v Speaker 3>possibly five or six lower than that, but as a

787
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:55.480
<v Speaker 3>starting point, Manchester United's valuation is very high.

788
00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Matte's kuner at Wolves.

789
00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:59.360
<v Speaker 3>He's not yet signed that new deal, so the door

790
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:02.960
<v Speaker 3>is just the so slightly a jar for Arsenal and others.

791
00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:05.000
<v Speaker 3>So it should be a busy week, and I think

792
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.000
<v Speaker 3>some of these plot lines might run right.

793
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Until February the third.

794
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:10.840
<v Speaker 3>And I keep having to remind myself to say February

795
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:14.079
<v Speaker 3>the third, because we so glibly call it the January window,

796
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:18.280
<v Speaker 3>and usually it is the January window, but this particular season,

797
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:21.119
<v Speaker 3>I should point out that in England anyway, the window

798
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:23.719
<v Speaker 3>shots on February the third, So we've got the best

799
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:26.679
<v Speaker 3>part of two weeks to try and find clarity on

800
00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:28.360
<v Speaker 3>some of those stories that I mention.

801
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:31.159
<v Speaker 1>And see if there's going to be a player who's

802
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:33.119
<v Speaker 1>just going to sit in his car in a team's

803
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:36.440
<v Speaker 1>parking lot and figure out that Yeah they want me

804
00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:38.239
<v Speaker 1>and I want to be here, but there's been no

805
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about you being here. Well, no, I'm still here.

806
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:43.440

<v Speaker 2>Have a good day everyone, You got it.

832
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Ben. There goes Ben. Ben's gonna go and

833
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:53.400
<v Speaker 1>go get brunch or something. And it's great to catch

834
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:58.199
<v Speaker 1>up with Ben, and thanks to him for putting time

835
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:01.679
<v Speaker 1>into his hyper busy ski edge to come and visit

836
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and drop by. Because my Premier League conversation with Ben

837
00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:13.360
<v Speaker 1>would probably go another forty minutes. It would probably go

838
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:17.280
<v Speaker 1>another forty minutes, and it would be talking about Lester.

839
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:19.880
<v Speaker 1>He'd be talking about On you'd be talking about Ruben, Amerim,

840
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:21.719
<v Speaker 1>trash and TVs. We'll get into all that stuff coming

841
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:24.440
<v Speaker 1>up in just a little bit. Bart Keeler gonna join us,

842
00:47:24.440 --> 00:47:27.960
<v Speaker 1>coming up in about ten minutes to discuss anything and

843
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:31.199
<v Speaker 1>everything going on with the men's national team. He's gonna

844
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:33.880
<v Speaker 1>be there for a half hour, then for about twenty minutes,

845
00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:36.199
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna set the table, get you ready through all

846
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:39.119
<v Speaker 1>the rumors, go through all of the stuff, get you

847
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:42.440
<v Speaker 1>ready for the day. And as always, once again, thanks

848
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:45.639
<v Speaker 1>to all of you guys for being the intrepid producers

849
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and conversation makers that you are and finding the leads

850
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:52.280
<v Speaker 1>information that we got to bounce off of Ben this morning,

851
00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and we can find out what's on his mind once

852
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:59.239
<v Speaker 1>again at Jacob's Ben on the two hundred and eighty

853
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:02.840
<v Speaker 1>character app and you can follow him from there at

854
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:06.920
<v Speaker 1>give Me Sport on the twitters and Bogert and all

855
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:09.559
<v Speaker 1>the alerts that they do and everything like that. But yeah,

856
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I think Ben was at Everton and Spurs this past weekend,

857
00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:17.159
<v Speaker 1>so we got to listen to his updates from that. Yes,

858
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:22.719
<v Speaker 1>sharif it appears that Marmouche is going from Frankfort to

859
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the prem the last thing that I saw was it

860
00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:31.880
<v Speaker 1>was about as close to a goodbye as possible. So

861
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:36.039
<v Speaker 1>they had agreed on the number and they were thinking

862
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:43.360
<v Speaker 1>that it was going to be outdone and gone. So

863
00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:49.199
<v Speaker 1>as of three hours ago, Marmouche is undergoing a medical

864
00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:54.000
<v Speaker 1>with Manchester City. So he is undergoing the medical today

865
00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and in addition for Britzy Romano while we were sleeping,

866
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.760
<v Speaker 1>said medical test today for Omar Marmouche. While Vittor Reese

867
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:07.320
<v Speaker 1>has already signed his contract after Hussonov yesterday, Manchester City

868
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and this is according to Romano will announced Vitor Reese

869
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:12.880
<v Speaker 1>as the new signing and then time for Marmouche. At

870
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:20.519
<v Speaker 1>least one more signing is also anticipated. So it is Hussonov, Reese,

871
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Marmouge and they're looking at Cambiaso apparently among others. So

872
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:31.079
<v Speaker 1>Marmusan City down to the medical. So that's where we

873
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:34.559
<v Speaker 1>are and apparently and this is like I said, this

874
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:37.800
<v Speaker 1>is just looking at they're looking for midfielders and it's

875
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:43.679
<v Speaker 1>looking like a rather large deal. Manchester City also set

876
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to sign two thousand born center back Juma Ba from

877
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Via do lead verbal is done. Understand the plan and

878
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.840
<v Speaker 1>this is from Romano. Could include a loan move to

879
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Lens which is being discussed, which has an excellent relationship

880
00:49:56.599 --> 00:50:00.440
<v Speaker 1>with the club after the Hussonov deal, So formal steps

881
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to follow here we go soon, so keep an eye

882
00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:06.639
<v Speaker 1>on that one with Manchester City and for Britzio Romano.

883
00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:11.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's where that's where we are with Marmouche this morning.

884
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:17.519
<v Speaker 1>So let's get into the gossip, rumor and innu window

885
00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and what to watch, where to watch it, how to

886
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:24.719
<v Speaker 1>watch it. So the latest with Marcus Rashford. Rashford's preferences

887
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to join Barsa, but they need to create space for

888
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:30.920
<v Speaker 1>his salary without goings and hand not formalize their interest.

889
00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Dortmund have engaged Manchester United over terms of a loan

890
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:37.039
<v Speaker 1>deal in case they proceed with a move for him

891
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:40.639
<v Speaker 1>ac Milan, remember, could do one or the other Rashford

892
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:44.239
<v Speaker 1>oral Kyle Walker, and so they went to Kyle Walker route.

893
00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:46.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's why ac Milan is out because you can

894
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:50.320
<v Speaker 1>only have two EU players on the roster and so

895
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the choice was there and they went in that direction.

896
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:57.239
<v Speaker 1>So Manchester United Antony's loan to Betty's close to completion

897
00:50:57.840 --> 00:51:00.920
<v Speaker 1>verbal exists, no option or obligation included in the deal.

898
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Final formalities being dealt with before Andrew takes some medical

899
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Antony sign from i AX for around eighty five million

900
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:09.320
<v Speaker 1>pounds in the summer of twenty two. Contract is up

901
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:13.320
<v Speaker 1>in twenty seven, includes the club held option of a

902
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:18.760
<v Speaker 1>further year from Melissarettinopoli, expected to accelerate their interest in Garnacho,

903
00:51:18.800 --> 00:51:22.480
<v Speaker 1>as we mentioned with Ben with Conte driving the deal.

904
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Initial approach just shy of forty million pounds knocked back

905
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:28.760
<v Speaker 1>under the impression United want to do business around the

906
00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:33.159
<v Speaker 1>sixty mark monopoly will look to compromise. Sky Italia reporting

907
00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:35.239
<v Speaker 1>United execs had traveled to hold a meeting with the

908
00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:39.559
<v Speaker 1>club over Garnacho, as revealed not actively looking to leave

909
00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Old Trafford, aware he'd be sold for the right price

910
00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:47.679
<v Speaker 1>and as such as considering his options. So Carlo Ancelotti

911
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:50.119
<v Speaker 1>says real madriddle decide when he leaves, not himself, as

912
00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:52.159
<v Speaker 1>he plays down suggestions he'll quit the club at the

913
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:55.039
<v Speaker 1>end of the year. Alfonso Davies, as of an hour ago,

914
00:51:55.079 --> 00:51:57.679
<v Speaker 1>on the verge of extending his Bayern Munich contract until

915
00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:01.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty. Negotiations head focus on a deal until twenty nine,

916
00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:04.239
<v Speaker 1>but there has been a breakthrough. Expected to sign for

917
00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:08.440
<v Speaker 1>a further year. Sky Germany, which translates probably into Florid

918
00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and Plettenberg among others. That the Canada international will earn

919
00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:17.079
<v Speaker 1>approximately twelve point six million pounds gross per year. So

920
00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:23.199
<v Speaker 1>that's what you're looking at involving that and so Leeds

921
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:26.000
<v Speaker 1>among the club, and we were talking strikers for Leeds

922
00:52:26.159 --> 00:52:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and the interest of Late loth in Middlesbrough. William Goobles

923
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:33.440
<v Speaker 1>is considered for a loan from Saint Gallen. Eight goals

924
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:35.480
<v Speaker 1>on the Swiss side, all Comps twenty three began his

925
00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:38.880
<v Speaker 1>career at Leone and has played for Nant in France,

926
00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and Reese is signed from Paul Maris for a fee

927
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:48.079
<v Speaker 1>of twenty nine point six million pounds and the Brazilian

928
00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:50.840
<v Speaker 1>U seventeen their national eighteen league appearances for Paul Marrison's

929
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:53.800
<v Speaker 1>coming through the club's academy. Sky News reported a number

930
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:56.599
<v Speaker 1>of clubs, including Brighton, had gathered information on the nineteen

931
00:52:56.679 --> 00:52:59.239
<v Speaker 1>year old Paul Marris will always and this is the

932
00:52:59.239 --> 00:53:05.599
<v Speaker 1>wording from Sky. Paul Marras Paul Mayras were relaxed over

933
00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the situation after selling an array of talent Europe in

934
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:11.519
<v Speaker 1>the past eighteen months, including likes of Endrick and William Esteval.

935
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:18.880
<v Speaker 1>So they were relaxed. They were relaxed about it. So yeah,

936
00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:21.760
<v Speaker 1>they were relaxed. So a reese they were relaxed about

937
00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:28.480
<v Speaker 1>So let's see transfer transfers dot Com. So I have

938
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:31.320
<v Speaker 1>to go to transfers dot com. Hang on just a second.

939
00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Tom has posted a European note in Oh, so it

940
00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:38.920
<v Speaker 1>is okay the Football Transfers account Dortmund Milan interested in

941
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Jack Grealish. But that's from the three letter paper. Keep

942
00:53:41.960 --> 00:53:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the information from your own deir own peril. Ancelotti is

943
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:48.440
<v Speaker 1>not leaving Real Madrid. Absolutely not decided to leave. I

944
00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:51.519
<v Speaker 1>hope to stay for four more years. Byron Munich confirmed

945
00:53:51.519 --> 00:53:53.599
<v Speaker 1>that Tom Bischoff is going to join in the summer

946
00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:58.800
<v Speaker 1>on a free transfer. I mentioned Vitorese Villa signed Andrascarcia

947
00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:02.519
<v Speaker 1>from Levante. Chelsea looking at signing du Son Vlahovitch according

948
00:54:02.519 --> 00:54:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to the Times, and Hugo Larson is a confirmed target

949
00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:12.199
<v Speaker 1>for clubs as well, so keep an eye on that,

950
00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:15.320
<v Speaker 1>all right. So before Bart gets to join us, we

951
00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:18.519
<v Speaker 1>get into the gossip on the other side of the Atlantic.

952
00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:22.159
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned Garnacho Corierra Della sport is mentioning fifty million

953
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:25.960
<v Speaker 1>pounds to sign west Ham. Ben Jacobs mentioned Gean Doron

954
00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:30.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven million pound bid rejected, determined not to sell,

955
00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:33.960
<v Speaker 1>meaning west Ham valued him at eighty during the transfer

956
00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:36.480
<v Speaker 1>current transfer windows, so fifty seven million to eighty there's

957
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:39.880
<v Speaker 1>a gap there. Chelsea considering a move for Vlahovitch, having

958
00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:42.960
<v Speaker 1>held talks with the Italian club about selling Renato Vega

959
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:46.039
<v Speaker 1>to then that's from the Times. United looked at Ryan

960
00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Ignorri and Tyreek Mitchell from Crystal Palace, with PSG's fullback

961
00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:54.159
<v Speaker 1>new No Mendez and an unviable option this transfer window,

962
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:59.039
<v Speaker 1>according to Ondaco, and this is where the the U

963
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:03.440
<v Speaker 1>quote from Ancelotti came. Ancelotti said to leave the club

964
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:05.760
<v Speaker 1>in the summer, with Shabi Alonzo the favorite to replace. On.

965
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Decetto is saying that Ancelotti came out and said, not

966
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:12.840
<v Speaker 1>so fast, my friend. Liverpool have a fresh contract wrangle

967
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:15.920
<v Speaker 1>on their hands. Connate yet to sign a new deal,

968
00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Manchester City and Grealish being tracked by Milan and Dortmann.

969
00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:21.159
<v Speaker 1>That's a three letter paper to Bruno says he hasn't

970
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:23.880
<v Speaker 1>spoken to Manchester City about a new contact a contract.

971
00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Something will happen with his current deal running out in

972
00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the summer. Spurs considering a move for Liam d Lapa

973
00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:32.360
<v Speaker 1>could face competition from Chelsea Liverpool not accepting an offer

974
00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:35.159
<v Speaker 1>for Harvey Elliott in January or the summer despite his

975
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:38.119
<v Speaker 1>like a first team football Milo's kirkcashwill reman it born

976
00:55:38.199 --> 00:55:40.559
<v Speaker 1>With despite interest from United, but he will likely move

977
00:55:40.639 --> 00:55:43.239
<v Speaker 1>during the summer window. Spurs facing a struggle to land

978
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Melan's screen yard this month on competition from Galatasarai in

979
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:51.480
<v Speaker 1>PSG AC Milan considering loan moves for both Hoyland and

980
00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Xerxe ve held discussions with an Essay over a move

981
00:55:55.800 --> 00:56:01.719
<v Speaker 1>for Thomas Christiansen, who is also a target four Manchester United.

982
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:04.039
<v Speaker 1>All right, so it is ten o'clock, ten o one,

983
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:07.119
<v Speaker 1>so it's my bad, my bad, and so I'm bringing

984
00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:11.159
<v Speaker 1>in Bartia minute late. So first and foremost, sir, how

985
00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:13.639
<v Speaker 1>was the the week at the mart? And what is

986
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:14.119
<v Speaker 1>the mug?

987
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, so the mug is Sydney, Australia.

988
00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, all right.

989
00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Dreaming of places that are much warmer and less well,

990
00:56:26.360 --> 00:56:27.199
<v Speaker 4>yesterday was fun.

991
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. As to holly Side degree, yeah, I see where

992
00:56:34.039 --> 00:56:34.400
<v Speaker 1>you're going.

993
00:56:34.599 --> 00:56:40.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, same John, same. The journalism PR and Polly

994
00:56:40.239 --> 00:56:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Side degrees yesterday were buzz market was great. Actually it

995
00:56:46.519 --> 00:56:49.320
<v Speaker 4>was a really good turnout from everyone. It seemed like

996
00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:51.840
<v Speaker 4>everyone had fun. I am tired. I feel like I

997
00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:55.679
<v Speaker 4>climbed Mount Everest four times over the spain of the week.

998
00:56:55.760 --> 00:56:59.880
<v Speaker 4>But it is nice to be working from home where

999
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:01.719
<v Speaker 4>at home the rest of the week, which is which

1000
00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:04.360
<v Speaker 4>is nice, mainly because John, I don't know if you

1001
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:07.840
<v Speaker 4>know this, it's cold outside. Yes, I'm and I don't

1002
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:11.559
<v Speaker 4>have to go outside. I don't want to. So that

1003
00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:12.480
<v Speaker 4>is a plus.

1004
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that is absolutely a plus. How was the stripling,

1005
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:17.559
<v Speaker 1>by the way, because every time I come home, I

1006
00:57:17.639 --> 00:57:21.239
<v Speaker 1>go past I passed by the stripling outlets and I

1007
00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:24.800
<v Speaker 1>know where they exist in Albany, and oh, I want

1008
00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:28.000
<v Speaker 1>to say, what's the what's the what's the what's the

1009
00:57:28.039 --> 00:57:31.880
<v Speaker 1>speed trap? Not nor would, but it's on the way

1010
00:57:32.159 --> 00:57:35.559
<v Speaker 1>up the Georgia three hundred right there. But so, how

1011
00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:36.199
<v Speaker 1>was the stripling?

1012
00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:40.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, so I am familiar with striplings back from

1013
00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:44.039
<v Speaker 4>a past life when I worked in retail, and it

1014
00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:47.400
<v Speaker 4>was nice to kind of see the product in person.

1015
00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Again.

1016
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:49.440
<v Speaker 4>I haven't been by one in a very long time

1017
00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:52.760
<v Speaker 4>because they don't exist where I usually go. But it

1018
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:55.800
<v Speaker 4>was nice to talk to the folks and see striplings again.

1019
00:57:56.320 --> 00:57:59.360
<v Speaker 4>A Georgia institution, if you will, so very cool.

1020
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I believe nineteen forty six, I think is when they started. Okay,

1021
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to have you in this morning, and I

1022
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:08.960
<v Speaker 1>know I've got you for about another twenty five minutes.

1024
00:58:11.039 --> 00:58:13.880
<v Speaker 1>break down everything that is happening in camp. Cupcake. I

1025
00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:16.079
<v Speaker 1>want to steer folks to listen to the Soccer for

1026
00:58:16.159 --> 00:58:21.719

1027
00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:25.440
<v Speaker 1>in in the January camp. It's an opportunity for folks

1028
00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to get call ups, to get their caps to, you know,

1029
00:58:29.519 --> 00:58:31.559
<v Speaker 1>to sit there and get those first times where they

1030
00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:33.440

<v Speaker 4>talk you. When I talk about George, I mean that's

1039
00:58:52.119 --> 00:58:57.920
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of the the.

1040
00:58:55.559 --> 00:59:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Story for us, you know, yeah, I mean George and Miles.

1041
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Now we've been having these discussions for probably three or

1042
00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:07.960
<v Speaker 1>four years, where those of us here at the network

1043
00:59:08.280 --> 00:59:12.480
<v Speaker 1>have said, don't be surprised at some point in the

1044
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:15.679
<v Speaker 1>future if your center backs for the US men's national

1045
00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:19.480
<v Speaker 1>team are George Campbell and Miles Robinson, and you got

1046
00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:20.880
<v Speaker 1>that in this January window.

1047
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:25.039
<v Speaker 4>First off, let's just say good for George. Congrats to him.

1048
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:27.639
<v Speaker 4>He definitely has put in a lot of work over

1049
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:30.039
<v Speaker 4>the years. I do think that the move from Atlanta

1050
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:32.239
<v Speaker 4>really helped him. He wasn't going to be a part

1051
00:59:32.360 --> 00:59:36.800
<v Speaker 4>of the starting equation while he was here, although I

1052
00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:39.039
<v Speaker 4>would argue that he probably should have been over some

1053
00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:40.760
<v Speaker 4>of the players that we decided to spend a lot

1054
00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:43.719
<v Speaker 4>of money on who have now not been very good.

1055
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:48.960
<v Speaker 4>But he deserved this from his plan. MLS and I

1056
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:51.599
<v Speaker 4>think John he didn't have a great game, but I'll

1057
00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:55.159
<v Speaker 4>say it's because he was doing things that you wouldn't

1058
00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:57.639
<v Speaker 4>normally ask of a center back. He was kind of

1059
00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:00.199
<v Speaker 4>doing I heard someone call it the John Stone his

1060
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:02.280
<v Speaker 4>role where you push up a little bit into midfield

1061
01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:04.719
<v Speaker 4>and you are asked to do more things with the

1062
01:00:04.719 --> 01:00:07.840
<v Speaker 4>ball and on the ball, and he is capable of

1063
01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:14.079
<v Speaker 4>doing that. I think you, Jared, Yeah, we've all seen it, right,

1064
01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:18.559
<v Speaker 4>We've all said he could, and for him to be

1065
01:00:18.599 --> 01:00:20.960
<v Speaker 4>able to kind of show that off at the national

1066
01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:25.599
<v Speaker 4>team level is great. Obviously a slightly different way of

1067
01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:29.280
<v Speaker 4>doing it. It looked like there was like a wingback role.

1068
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:29.519
<v Speaker 1>It was.

1069
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:31.400
<v Speaker 4>It was a weird formation that we were playing in.

1070
01:00:31.400 --> 01:00:34.519
<v Speaker 4>And sometimes I also blame I mean, any of his

1071
01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:40.039
<v Speaker 4>mistakes on just you know, his first time, and if

1072
01:00:40.039 --> 01:00:44.440
<v Speaker 4>the center back looks decent his first time, that's a positive.

1073
01:00:45.519 --> 01:00:53.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't expect there to be much change between now

1074
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:55.639
<v Speaker 4>and maybe his next time he gets called up, because

1075
01:00:55.679 --> 01:00:57.719
<v Speaker 4>this is who he is. Hopefully he just gets better.

1076
01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:01.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I'll playday. I haven't seen. I

1077
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:04.800
<v Speaker 4>think I think we'll probably have a press conference this

1078
01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:07.519
<v Speaker 4>morning that'll give us a little more insight onto what

1079
01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:11.119
<v Speaker 4>lineups might be for tomorrow's game. I wouldn't be surprising

1080
01:01:11.159 --> 01:01:13.800
<v Speaker 4>if we see Walker and Tim, you know, the twins

1081
01:01:13.960 --> 01:01:17.880
<v Speaker 4>back there. But they they looked good. I'm very, very

1082
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:21.159
<v Speaker 4>proud of George Miles continued to look good. Congrats on

1083
01:01:21.239 --> 01:01:25.559
<v Speaker 4>him for being the captain of the team. And you

1084
01:01:25.599 --> 01:01:29.239
<v Speaker 4>know this is what John the third at Landing United

1085
01:01:29.280 --> 01:01:33.280
<v Speaker 4>Academy product, Yeah, to go to the national team. George

1086
01:01:34.199 --> 01:01:38.239
<v Speaker 4>Caleb and now George again, so rested all three of

1087
01:01:38.280 --> 01:01:40.400
<v Speaker 4>those guys. But really I thought a good showing from

1088
01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:41.079
<v Speaker 4>George Campbell.

1089
01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of folks gravitated toward Jack mcglenn's performance,

1090
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, obviously when you you hit an absolute banger,

1091
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel like almost that too. Yeah, so you end

1092
01:01:55.920 --> 01:01:59.119
<v Speaker 1>up with McGlenn getting Man of the Match for hitting

1093
01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the boom also that he got and Mat Camiljevitch obviously

1094
01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>that was one of the picks for this particular camp.

1095
01:02:08.800 --> 01:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>That everybody was sitting there going and you can literally

1096
01:02:11.519 --> 01:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>thought bubbles over everybody's head. It's like, what is Pochettino

1097
01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:20.119
<v Speaker 1>thinking here? And obviously with the early booboo, everybody's sitting

1098
01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>there going cee cecie. And then things kind of mellowed

1099
01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>out as we went. But when you look at the attack,

1100
01:02:26.880 --> 01:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess, I guess I'm kind of taking this one

1101
01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>layer at a time, going from the defense to the midfield.

1102
01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of the midfield in the matchup?

1103
01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:39.199
<v Speaker 4>I thought the midfield looked solid against a team that

1104
01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:44.719
<v Speaker 4>is not super effective in the midfield, if that makes sense. Yeah,

1105
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:49.519
<v Speaker 4>I thought Jack McGlenn looked comfortable out there. He was

1106
01:02:49.559 --> 01:02:52.760
<v Speaker 4>able to. We saw the best of Jack McGlenn on

1107
01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:56.559
<v Speaker 4>the ball. He is a wizard, he truly is. He

1108
01:02:56.639 --> 01:02:59.159
<v Speaker 4>is able to pick out passes. He's he was doing

1109
01:02:59.199 --> 01:03:01.159
<v Speaker 4>some of the pat maha, you know, look off a

1110
01:03:01.159 --> 01:03:04.400
<v Speaker 4>defender and then find a nice little scene for an

1111
01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:09.280
<v Speaker 4>attacking pass. I thought he obviously stood out for all

1112
01:03:09.280 --> 01:03:11.280
<v Speaker 4>the good reasons. I don't know if he was his

1113
01:03:11.400 --> 01:03:14.440
<v Speaker 4>weaknesses were challenged, which his weaknesses John or that he's

1114
01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:19.239
<v Speaker 4>slow and that really wasn't a factor in this particular game.

1115
01:03:19.320 --> 01:03:22.079
<v Speaker 4>There wasn't a whole lot of that. It also helps

1116
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:24.280
<v Speaker 4>when you have Miles and George behind you, who are

1117
01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:30.480
<v Speaker 4>relatively quick and good defenders. But I don't think Kumashki

1118
01:03:30.599 --> 01:03:37.400
<v Speaker 4>looked particularly noticeable. It wasn't one of those we go wow,

1119
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:39.320
<v Speaker 4>he really stood out. He kind of blended into the

1120
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:46.519
<v Speaker 4>game and Milhevich I'm not quite sure what to take

1121
01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:54.360
<v Speaker 4>of him, to be quite honest, I respect the fortitude

1122
01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:59.079
<v Speaker 4>and the assertion to grab the ball and say I'm

1123
01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:03.239
<v Speaker 4>taking this penalty kick. But buddy, if you're going to

1124
01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:10.480
<v Speaker 4>do that, you gotta finish, because you know, look one selfishly,

1125
01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:12.920
<v Speaker 4>we were three minutes in and I needed a shot,

1126
01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:17.480
<v Speaker 4>but unselfishly. It shout out to Abby by the way,

1127
01:04:17.480 --> 01:04:21.079
<v Speaker 4>who was there with us, but unselfishly. That is one

1128
01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:24.400
<v Speaker 4>of those times where in a normal game, John, how

1129
01:04:24.480 --> 01:04:27.880
<v Speaker 4>often I don't want to go back to twenty nineteen,

1130
01:04:28.039 --> 01:04:33.559
<v Speaker 4>but a missed penalty kick can really throw off a

1131
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:37.559
<v Speaker 4>game and give some momentum back to the opponent. Right,

1132
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:41.559
<v Speaker 4>it was an obvious foul. It was a stupid foul.

1133
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:43.119
<v Speaker 4>You know. It's one of those where you're like, well,

1134
01:04:43.159 --> 01:04:45.400
<v Speaker 4>this doesn't really deserve a penalty kick, but you stepped

1135
01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:47.880
<v Speaker 4>on the guy kicked I mean, they kicked him. It's

1136
01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:49.800
<v Speaker 4>penalty kick. It's just one of those where you know

1137
01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:54.000
<v Speaker 4>it's not really deserving of that, but for you to

1138
01:04:54.199 --> 01:04:57.760
<v Speaker 4>miss that is a problem, especially when you are like, no,

1139
01:04:57.840 --> 01:05:00.119
<v Speaker 4>this is mine, and especially when it seemed like me

1140
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:02.000
<v Speaker 4>Jack McGlenn was supposed to be the one to take it.

1141
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:06.480
<v Speaker 4>But that's what this campus for, John, To answer your

1142
01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:11.039
<v Speaker 4>point about the thought bubble, Why is this dude get

1143
01:05:11.039 --> 01:05:14.679
<v Speaker 4>called in? One, it's January camp. We take who we

1144
01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:18.239
<v Speaker 4>can get sometimes, and two it is a time for

1145
01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:20.559
<v Speaker 4>guys to prove themselves and we need to see more

1146
01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:25.280
<v Speaker 4>guys have this attitude of literally taking the ball and

1147
01:05:25.320 --> 01:05:27.480
<v Speaker 4>saying I'm going to prove myself. Now he missed the

1148
01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:30.239
<v Speaker 4>penalty kick. So what did he prove? I don't know,

1149
01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:34.000
<v Speaker 4>but that in itself is a positive. But buddy, you've

1150
01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:37.760
<v Speaker 4>got to make that kick because if you don't that

1151
01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:41.519
<v Speaker 4>in the grand scheme of things, let's just say, John,

1152
01:05:42.519 --> 01:05:45.480
<v Speaker 4>he gets caught up to the Gold Cup this summer, right, that,

1153
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:50.039
<v Speaker 4>like missing a penalty kick and an actual competitive tournament

1154
01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:52.960
<v Speaker 4>game would be a problem.

1155
01:05:53.280 --> 01:06:00.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just a bit. I know that, folks. You know

1156
01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>when you were talking Kromowski here, uh to me, some

1157
01:06:05.840 --> 01:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>folks seemed surprised at where he was positionally in what

1158
01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:15.559
<v Speaker 1>he was doing when it came to Yeah, and but

1159
01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>for me, I would challenge that thought and say, look,

1160
01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Tata Martino down with Messi and friends is basically telling him, Okay,

1161
01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:26.199
<v Speaker 1>I need you to do this. I need you to

1162
01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:28.159
<v Speaker 1>lay back, I need you to be more defensive. So

1163
01:06:28.199 --> 01:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>we've seen him in more defensive postures once he's been

1164
01:06:31.320 --> 01:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>playing professionally, so I wasn't necessarily surprised. But everybody seemed

1165
01:06:35.480 --> 01:06:38.239
<v Speaker 1>to be freaking out and sitting there and finding a

1166
01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>voovuzuela or a trumpet wherever they could find it. And

1167
01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>go see what you know. But I didn't seem all

1168
01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that surprised by what Kromowski was being asked to do. Well.

1169
01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:54.719
<v Speaker 4>Two things. One is just it seems like Plassino does

1170
01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:58.280
<v Speaker 4>like that number ten attacking midfield type of player on

1171
01:06:58.320 --> 01:06:58.760
<v Speaker 4>the field.

1172
01:06:59.360 --> 01:06:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

1173
01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:03.079
<v Speaker 4>Probably because he's Argentinian and they breathe those like, you know,

1174
01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:05.519
<v Speaker 4>like we do cotton down here. They just you know,

1175
01:07:05.559 --> 01:07:08.199
<v Speaker 4>you pluck them off trees. It seems like in Argentina.

1176
01:07:10.199 --> 01:07:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

1177
01:07:10.639 --> 01:07:16.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, so I think from that standpoint, Kramaski

1178
01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:18.079
<v Speaker 4>is not gonna see a lot of time moving a

1179
01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:20.719
<v Speaker 4>little before. I mean, we've seen this kind of with Pochettino.

1180
01:07:21.599 --> 01:07:24.840
<v Speaker 4>System is is he has two I don't want to

1181
01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:26.920
<v Speaker 4>say deep lying but two guys who are a little

1182
01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:30.199
<v Speaker 4>deeper in the midfield. But to your point, and I'm

1183
01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:33.840
<v Speaker 4>not I'm not saying they're the same player, the same person,

1184
01:07:33.960 --> 01:07:37.159
<v Speaker 4>or their equal skills or whatever, but John, I would

1185
01:07:37.159 --> 01:07:41.519
<v Speaker 4>I would venture to say that the reason that Tata

1186
01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:44.360
<v Speaker 4>has Kramaski stay a little deeper is because he is

1187
01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:48.039
<v Speaker 4>at the club level next to a defensive midfielder who's

1188
01:07:48.119 --> 01:07:51.039
<v Speaker 4>not particularly mobile.

1189
01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Needs your help quick back, just kind of hang back

1190
01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>for me.

1191
01:07:54.719 --> 01:07:58.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And and I'm not saying Jack McGlenn and Sergio

1192
01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:01.239
<v Speaker 4>Buskits are the same guy. I'm not saying they're on

1193
01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:05.639
<v Speaker 4>the same level, John, But I'm just saying they both

1194
01:08:05.760 --> 01:08:09.480
<v Speaker 4>possess qualities that you don't necessarily want to have to

1195
01:08:09.519 --> 01:08:15.119
<v Speaker 4>spend energy on defending. You get what I'm saying, Because

1196
01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:18.119
<v Speaker 4>they're not They're not going to win that that that

1197
01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:20.359
<v Speaker 4>foot race or the one b one defensive battle.

1198
01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:29.199
<v Speaker 1>No, they're not. Uh. One other guy that I wanted

1199
01:08:29.199 --> 01:08:32.439
<v Speaker 1>to get your first thoughts on there it is, Yeah, no,

1200
01:08:32.800 --> 01:08:35.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's uh. Well, once again, like I said, I'm

1201
01:08:35.680 --> 01:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>dealing with this. The cable is still out here in

1202
01:08:38.960 --> 01:08:41.159
<v Speaker 1>the office. This is how we're doing the show this

1203
01:08:41.600 --> 01:08:46.560
<v Speaker 1>sir boy Patrick Patrick, Godgymunk. I wanted to get your

1204
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on him because we've seen him at Crown Legacy

1205
01:08:50.439 --> 01:08:53.640
<v Speaker 1>be a certifiable pain that you know what he is.

1206
01:08:53.840 --> 01:08:57.159
<v Speaker 1>He is a he is a he is a problem

1207
01:08:57.840 --> 01:09:01.319
<v Speaker 1>and can be. So what did you think of aujimun

1208
01:09:01.439 --> 01:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>A being called into this camp and what happened in

1209
01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:04.399
<v Speaker 1>match number one?

1210
01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:06.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, you know, I think he was just happy

1211
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:09.399
<v Speaker 4>to get out of a city that is known for nothing,

1212
01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:16.920
<v Speaker 4>but breweries and financial sweater best. So good for him, going, yeah,

1213
01:09:17.039 --> 01:09:21.920
<v Speaker 4>that's worth being, that's worth visiting. I thought, I don't

1214
01:09:21.960 --> 01:09:23.800
<v Speaker 4>want to focus on him so much as I want

1215
01:09:23.800 --> 01:09:28.279
<v Speaker 4>to focus on what he did and what was asked

1216
01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:30.439
<v Speaker 4>of him, because this is something that I have been

1217
01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:34.159
<v Speaker 4>frustrated with our national team, no matter who was the coach,

1218
01:09:34.840 --> 01:09:40.479
<v Speaker 4>for multiple years, and it's that our strikers aren't involved

1219
01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:47.520
<v Speaker 4>enough inside the penalty area or leading a line per se. Right,

1220
01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:50.680
<v Speaker 4>It is always like, oh, well, they they're this weird

1221
01:09:50.840 --> 01:09:55.800
<v Speaker 4>like chess piece that moves around to open up space,

1222
01:09:55.960 --> 01:09:58.119
<v Speaker 4>but we haven't done a good enough job of utilizing

1223
01:09:58.119 --> 01:10:01.000
<v Speaker 4>them to score goals. And so we saw from Patrick

1224
01:10:02.079 --> 01:10:03.960
<v Speaker 4>and from the system because this is a little bit

1225
01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:05.800
<v Speaker 4>what Peppi does, and I think that's kind of the

1226
01:10:05.840 --> 01:10:07.720
<v Speaker 4>thing that I'm going to draw attention to is they

1227
01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:14.319
<v Speaker 4>do seem to have similar mindsets and skill sets. He

1228
01:10:14.439 --> 01:10:16.920
<v Speaker 4>was stretching the line, he was trying to get in

1229
01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:19.600
<v Speaker 4>behind the team the defense, and he was doing a

1230
01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:22.920
<v Speaker 4>really good job of trying to get in dangerous spots

1231
01:10:22.960 --> 01:10:27.600
<v Speaker 4>in the penalty area. But on top of that, we

1232
01:10:27.600 --> 01:10:30.760
<v Speaker 4>were then giving him the ball in that penalty area

1233
01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:33.680
<v Speaker 4>and said dangerous spots. Five touches. I think it was

1234
01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:37.199
<v Speaker 4>in the penalty area, which doesn't seem like a lot,

1235
01:10:37.239 --> 01:10:39.600
<v Speaker 4>but that is a good number for a guy who

1236
01:10:40.039 --> 01:10:44.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, played sixty some minutes and he got other touches.

1237
01:10:44.920 --> 01:10:47.039
<v Speaker 4>He obviously is the reason we win that penalty kick.

1238
01:10:47.119 --> 01:10:49.439
<v Speaker 4>He gets a goal. He has a couple of other

1239
01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:53.119
<v Speaker 4>opportunities that I'm not saying he should have scored, basically

1240
01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:55.640
<v Speaker 4>forced either a good defensive action or a good say

1241
01:10:55.680 --> 01:10:59.039
<v Speaker 4>from a goalkeeper. And and those themes are what I'm

1242
01:10:59.079 --> 01:11:04.680
<v Speaker 4>looking at. As he executed what was asked of him. Well,

1243
01:11:05.319 --> 01:11:08.920
<v Speaker 4>is that replicable Sam with JaQuel McGlenn. I don't know

1244
01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:13.760
<v Speaker 4>it was good enough against a Venezuela team that is,

1245
01:11:14.720 --> 01:11:20.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, okay, yeah, but he did the things that

1246
01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:23.560
<v Speaker 4>was asked of him, and that alone is a good

1247
01:11:23.640 --> 01:11:25.279
<v Speaker 4>enough reason. I mean, he's probably gonna start the next

1248
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:28.600
<v Speaker 4>game because we just don't have another striker in the scamp.

1249
01:11:30.159 --> 01:11:32.079
<v Speaker 4>So that's a good thing. Though he gets to say, okay,

1250
01:11:32.119 --> 01:11:34.760
<v Speaker 4>I did this pretty well. How do I copy copy

1251
01:11:34.800 --> 01:11:37.039
<v Speaker 4>and paste that to another team? A Costa Rica team that,

1252
01:11:37.640 --> 01:11:39.720
<v Speaker 4>no matter who they are, are out there trying to

1253
01:11:39.800 --> 01:11:41.680
<v Speaker 4>kick us and knock us down.

1254
01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:48.399
<v Speaker 1>On the bench. You got America and Nellie getting his

1255
01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>first Indiana aslev whoop woop to uh South Georgia Tormenta

1256
01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:57.119
<v Speaker 1>in the Savannah area getting there first. You get to

1257
01:11:57.199 --> 01:11:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Diego Luna and Brian White getting their seconds, and the

1258
01:11:59.800 --> 01:12:02.319
<v Speaker 1>one Jones and obviously and Walker Zimmerman with a cameo.

1259
01:12:03.520 --> 01:12:09.159
<v Speaker 1>You know we mentioned the first, okay that was and.

1260
01:12:09.159 --> 01:12:12.479
<v Speaker 4>I had Yeah, you said, Brian White, I don't. I know,

1261
01:12:12.520 --> 01:12:15.960
<v Speaker 4>the dude scores an MLS, but I just don't. I don't.

1262
01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:20.199
<v Speaker 4>I don't understand why we're putting the time and energy

1263
01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:22.319
<v Speaker 4>to a guy who has shown no ability to be

1264
01:12:22.359 --> 01:12:26.880
<v Speaker 4>a significant factor in the national team at any point, right.

1265
01:12:26.920 --> 01:12:30.520
<v Speaker 4>I think this is absolutely a well three of three

1266
01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:32.239
<v Speaker 4>four of our strikers are in Europe, so are not

1267
01:12:32.279 --> 01:12:34.119
<v Speaker 4>going to get called up. Any other striker that we

1268
01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:36.920
<v Speaker 4>want are probably I mean, like Brandon Vazquez is not

1269
01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:39.079
<v Speaker 4>going to come in because he's been playing in Mexico.

1270
01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:41.680
<v Speaker 4>They don't exactly have the same breaks like we do,

1271
01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:45.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, And then you had Ferrera goes out of camp.

1272
01:12:49.000 --> 01:12:52.159
<v Speaker 4>I don't understand. Yeah, tokens out, but I mean from

1273
01:12:52.199 --> 01:12:54.760
<v Speaker 4>a strikers standpoint, I don't understand Brian White. I don't

1274
01:12:54.760 --> 01:12:58.319
<v Speaker 4>think he's that good. I think he's overrated at MLS,

1275
01:12:58.640 --> 01:13:00.359
<v Speaker 4>and I don't think he fits in with the national

1276
01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:03.520
<v Speaker 4>team one iota, and I just wish we would stop

1277
01:13:03.560 --> 01:13:05.359
<v Speaker 4>trying to call him in just because he's a dude.

1278
01:13:06.600 --> 01:13:10.479
<v Speaker 4>There are other options, and Patrick Amyang is one of

1279
01:13:10.520 --> 01:13:14.680
<v Speaker 4>those that I think we can see as like, oh

1280
01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:17.279
<v Speaker 4>this my guy might be a better look. There's a

1281
01:13:17.279 --> 01:13:19.880
<v Speaker 4>reason I think he started, and it's clearly because he

1282
01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:23.600
<v Speaker 4>did the things that Pachatino wants better than Brian White.

1283
01:13:23.920 --> 01:13:28.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, I just I don't understand the time and

1284
01:13:28.479 --> 01:13:29.760
<v Speaker 4>energy put into Brian White.

1285
01:13:30.279 --> 01:13:37.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I like that a listener gets named a US

1286
01:13:37.319 --> 01:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Soccer Female Player of the Year after her last US

1287
01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:43.079
<v Speaker 1>wn T seas. It seems like a slam dunk for me.

1288
01:13:44.039 --> 01:13:46.359
<v Speaker 4>If you go back a couple episodes of the Soccer

1289
01:13:46.359 --> 01:13:48.840
<v Speaker 4>for US pod, we talked about who our players of

1290
01:13:48.840 --> 01:13:50.680
<v Speaker 4>the Year should be, and I said a listener. And

1291
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:54.319
<v Speaker 4>it's because while you can easily say it was triple espresso,

1292
01:13:55.600 --> 01:13:59.800
<v Speaker 4>the reality is, especially during that run in the knockouts

1293
01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:02.600
<v Speaker 4>of the Olympics, it's not like we were scoring a

1294
01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:06.319
<v Speaker 4>ton of goals and a Listenaire had to come up big,

1295
01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:08.119
<v Speaker 4>not just in the gold medal run, but you look

1296
01:14:08.199 --> 01:14:12.239
<v Speaker 4>at the She Believes Cup and w Gold Cup. I

1297
01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:16.680
<v Speaker 4>mean both of those tournaments were her save multiple penalty

1298
01:14:16.760 --> 01:14:20.720
<v Speaker 4>kick score, a penalty kick outcome, and outside of that,

1299
01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:26.079
<v Speaker 4>she really just had a stellar twenty twenty four. You know,

1300
01:14:26.159 --> 01:14:30.760
<v Speaker 4>I think, I John, I'm gonna say this because not

1301
01:14:30.840 --> 01:14:34.479
<v Speaker 4>to be controversial, but because it's true. If a Listenaire

1302
01:14:34.720 --> 01:14:38.279
<v Speaker 4>as a US number one, we're playing for any other

1303
01:14:38.319 --> 01:14:42.960
<v Speaker 4>country in the world. Say she's playing for France, right,

1304
01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:45.479
<v Speaker 4>Say she's a French international and she's playing in France,

1305
01:14:45.479 --> 01:14:47.720
<v Speaker 4>and she's playing for LEOL and she's winning. You know,

1306
01:14:47.760 --> 01:14:50.560
<v Speaker 4>she's at Champions League finals and all this stuff. I

1307
01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:54.279
<v Speaker 4>think she would be very much considered the best goalkeeper

1308
01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:57.439
<v Speaker 4>in the world. But because she is an NWSL, a

1309
01:14:57.520 --> 01:15:00.760
<v Speaker 4>league that actually has competition and had good players on

1310
01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:03.239
<v Speaker 4>every single team and has good teams up and down

1311
01:15:03.600 --> 01:15:06.920
<v Speaker 4>the league, she's not seen as that good because her

1312
01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:10.119
<v Speaker 4>Red Stars team still the Red Stars. Her Red Stars

1313
01:15:10.119 --> 01:15:14.159
<v Speaker 4>team isn't up there. Right, they make the playoffs, they

1314
01:15:14.159 --> 01:15:18.720
<v Speaker 4>get trounced by Orlando, which everyone did in the playoffs.

1315
01:15:18.760 --> 01:15:21.439
<v Speaker 4>You know, the only team that didn't was you know,

1316
01:15:21.760 --> 01:15:27.000
<v Speaker 4>the final, which duh. Washington's also good. And so they

1317
01:15:27.640 --> 01:15:31.039
<v Speaker 4>see her club stats and they're not great because well, yeah,

1318
01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:34.039
<v Speaker 4>she's going against some of the best players in the

1319
01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:38.600
<v Speaker 4>world in her league week in a week out. I

1320
01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:41.520
<v Speaker 4>think she deserved this, and it's it's also nice to

1321
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:45.720
<v Speaker 4>pair this with her FIFA Best eleven nomination as well.

1322
01:15:46.039 --> 01:15:49.520
<v Speaker 4>And it's just I just want to reiterate that the

1323
01:15:49.600 --> 01:15:52.520
<v Speaker 4>US women's national team is not devoid of talent. Even

1324
01:15:52.560 --> 01:15:55.239
<v Speaker 4>the goalkeepers that were not one hundred percent sure about

1325
01:15:55.399 --> 01:15:59.239
<v Speaker 4>who will replace her are better than just about any

1326
01:15:59.239 --> 01:16:01.520
<v Speaker 4>other countries goalkeepers in the world. I mean you're looking

1327
01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:05.800
<v Speaker 4>at when you look at better goalkeepers Mary Arts. Maybe

1328
01:16:07.119 --> 01:16:10.359
<v Speaker 4>I like Van Domsler a lot, but you know that's

1329
01:16:10.359 --> 01:16:15.239
<v Speaker 4>really it because Endler down in leon is not I mean,

1330
01:16:15.279 --> 01:16:17.680
<v Speaker 4>she plays for Chile. It's just unfortunate for her that

1331
01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:20.920
<v Speaker 4>her team national team isn't that good. We're going to

1332
01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:23.760
<v Speaker 4>have some of the best goalkeepers on international level. Germany

1333
01:16:23.800 --> 01:16:27.399
<v Speaker 4>is obviously very good, but like, we have great talent

1334
01:16:27.479 --> 01:16:30.399
<v Speaker 4>here and I think a listen there, getting that now

1335
01:16:30.399 --> 01:16:35.239
<v Speaker 4>that she's retiring, getting her flowers finally, both domestically and internationally.

1336
01:16:35.479 --> 01:16:39.279
<v Speaker 4>It's wonderful to see, but it's to me a sign that, hey, y'all,

1337
01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:41.039
<v Speaker 4>our talent is there.

1338
01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Who in your mind is a B and C. Now

1339
01:16:48.479 --> 01:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to have to find who is the

1340
01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:54.560
<v Speaker 1>hashtag Naiir replacement? What is the competition going to be

1341
01:16:54.600 --> 01:16:55.279
<v Speaker 1>looking like now?

1342
01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:02.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think we saw with the college we've had

1343
01:17:02.880 --> 01:17:07.520
<v Speaker 4>the last couple camps. Fall and tallest choice is definitely one.

1344
01:17:08.079 --> 01:17:11.079
<v Speaker 4>She might be the low key leader, but I think

1345
01:17:11.159 --> 01:17:16.439
<v Speaker 4>Kasey Murphy is the kind of she's probably if you

1346
01:17:16.479 --> 01:17:18.520
<v Speaker 4>were to say leader in the clubhouse, she might be

1347
01:17:18.520 --> 01:17:20.760
<v Speaker 4>the leader in the clubhouse, but I don't know if

1348
01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:24.479
<v Speaker 4>she's She's the betting favorite. She has the pedigree, she's

1349
01:17:24.520 --> 01:17:29.000
<v Speaker 4>had the time, but I think Fallen has a little

1350
01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:33.359
<v Speaker 4>bit better. I think she's a little bit better shot

1351
01:17:33.359 --> 01:17:35.720
<v Speaker 4>stopper for not being as tall as Casey. Casey's a

1352
01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:39.039
<v Speaker 4>great shot stopper because she's very tall. She technically sound,

1353
01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:43.960
<v Speaker 4>she's very tall. Those two are probably the ones that

1354
01:17:44.000 --> 01:17:46.880
<v Speaker 4>are most likely to get that. I'd love to say

1355
01:17:46.960 --> 01:17:49.399
<v Speaker 4>Jane Campbell, I just don't know if I see her

1356
01:17:49.479 --> 01:17:52.880
<v Speaker 4>elevating her game to that level. She's kind of struggled

1357
01:17:52.880 --> 01:17:59.000
<v Speaker 4>to do that on the national team level. I still

1358
01:17:59.000 --> 01:18:02.359
<v Speaker 4>want Katie Lynn to get a Colin Louisville's goalkeeper. I

1359
01:18:02.720 --> 01:18:04.279
<v Speaker 4>like her, but she kind of has like a little

1360
01:18:04.279 --> 01:18:06.880
<v Speaker 4>bit of Casey Murphy where she's really tall and that's

1361
01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:11.199
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of her big thing. But if you're looking

1362
01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:14.079
<v Speaker 4>at two, I think it's Murphy and Talis choice. Those

1363
01:18:14.079 --> 01:18:17.119
<v Speaker 4>are the two that like they're gonna get looks obviously

1364
01:18:17.239 --> 01:18:21.000
<v Speaker 4>tallest choice is starting at Manchester United in the second

1365
01:18:21.119 --> 01:18:23.840
<v Speaker 4>best league in the world. You've got Murphy, who's the

1366
01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:26.159
<v Speaker 4>starter for a very good club team here in the US.

1367
01:18:26.319 --> 01:18:29.479
<v Speaker 4>So I think those are the two that you're looking

1368
01:18:29.479 --> 01:18:30.000
<v Speaker 4>at this year.

1369
01:18:31.520 --> 01:18:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Next matchup coming up here in Camp Cupcake for the

1370
01:18:34.039 --> 01:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>us M and t is uh Costa Rica and it

1371
01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:46.159
<v Speaker 1>is how do we say this interesting? Who the who

1372
01:18:46.199 --> 01:18:49.560
<v Speaker 1>they now have in charge on the touch line with

1373
01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>with the poho now there? What do you what are

1374
01:18:53.760 --> 01:18:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you anticipating that that's not me? I didn't do that?

1375
01:19:02.039 --> 01:19:05.199
<v Speaker 1>What does what does? What do you think this brings

1376
01:19:05.199 --> 01:19:10.920
<v Speaker 1>to the table for Costa Rica going forward?

1377
01:19:12.760 --> 01:19:14.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna say this not to say that they're not

1378
01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:19.159
<v Speaker 4>they weren't this beforehand, but a little bit of sophistication,

1379
01:19:19.399 --> 01:19:23.159
<v Speaker 4>which is a weird thing to include with uh Herrera

1380
01:19:23.199 --> 01:19:27.520
<v Speaker 4>as a coach, but Mexico as a national team and

1381
01:19:27.560 --> 01:19:30.079
<v Speaker 4>Herrera as an as their coach, and and a lot

1382
01:19:30.119 --> 01:19:32.640
<v Speaker 4>of the clubs he's played, they are They fight hard,

1383
01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:36.399
<v Speaker 4>they run hard, they but they they try to play

1384
01:19:38.199 --> 01:19:42.279
<v Speaker 4>to some extent, they try to play possessive, attacking good soccer. Right.

1385
01:19:42.800 --> 01:19:45.159
<v Speaker 4>You do all the hustle part, and you're ready to

1386
01:19:45.199 --> 01:19:47.760
<v Speaker 4>go into a fight whenever you feel like it. Cause

1387
01:19:47.840 --> 01:19:50.000
<v Speaker 4>mainly because your goal. Your a coach is about to

1388
01:19:50.039 --> 01:19:54.880
<v Speaker 4>have a stroke on the sideline. But that man always

1389
01:19:54.880 --> 01:19:57.560
<v Speaker 4>looks like he's about to pop a cornary artery. I'm

1390
01:19:57.600 --> 01:20:02.520
<v Speaker 4>just saying he does that. But Costa Rica has traditionally

1391
01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:04.479
<v Speaker 4>always had that too. They've always been a thorn in

1392
01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:06.479
<v Speaker 4>the side of the US and other teams like they

1393
01:20:06.960 --> 01:20:12.279
<v Speaker 4>succeed in CONCACAF because they are gritty, determined and organized

1394
01:20:12.800 --> 01:20:15.720
<v Speaker 4>and those are good qualities. But if Herrera can take

1395
01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:20.600
<v Speaker 4>some of his attacking philosophies right and help the Costa

1396
01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:24.479
<v Speaker 4>Ricans kind of put that into the already solid defensive

1397
01:20:24.520 --> 01:20:27.399
<v Speaker 4>strukker they're kind of just born with. I think that

1398
01:20:27.479 --> 01:20:30.319
<v Speaker 4>will help them because right now, John, it's very clear

1399
01:20:30.319 --> 01:20:33.439
<v Speaker 4>that they are for the fifth best team in CONCA CAFF.

1400
01:20:33.520 --> 01:20:37.239
<v Speaker 4>In my opinion, they're behind the big three of USA, Mexico,

1401
01:20:37.359 --> 01:20:41.439
<v Speaker 4>Canada and then Panama has eclipsed them as that next

1402
01:20:41.439 --> 01:20:44.039
<v Speaker 4>bex team. They used to be the third best. You know,

1403
01:20:44.079 --> 01:20:46.439
<v Speaker 4>they used to be easily the third best team in

1404
01:20:46.479 --> 01:20:50.920
<v Speaker 4>CONCA CAFF for a good decade. There they fell down

1405
01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:53.000
<v Speaker 4>a little bit. They had kind of a missing generation

1406
01:20:54.359 --> 01:20:58.000
<v Speaker 4>and so with LP Yoho, I think they are looking

1407
01:20:58.079 --> 01:21:00.840
<v Speaker 4>at how do we get back to that understanding we

1408
01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:03.439
<v Speaker 4>need a coach that kind of has that pedigree to

1409
01:21:03.479 --> 01:21:05.359
<v Speaker 4>teach our guys how to get back to there as well.

1410
01:21:06.039 --> 01:21:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what is going up next for soccer for US

1411
01:21:09.640 --> 01:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>pod here during Camp Cupcake, sir.

1412
01:21:11.800 --> 01:21:14.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so we'll have a Camp cup Cake update, probably

1413
01:21:14.920 --> 01:21:19.119
<v Speaker 4>not this week, but definitely next week just because Camp Cupcake,

1414
01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:23.800
<v Speaker 4>Camp cup cup Date, Camp cup Cake cup Date. Yes,

1415
01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:27.680
<v Speaker 4>we'll have that that kind of reaction. Yeah, we'll have

1416
01:21:27.720 --> 01:21:30.319
<v Speaker 4>the reaction coming out either late this week or early

1417
01:21:30.359 --> 01:21:33.319
<v Speaker 4>next week, just looking at who impressed us with the

1418
01:21:33.520 --> 01:21:38.039
<v Speaker 4>understanding that neither of these games are particularly against high

1419
01:21:38.119 --> 01:21:41.960
<v Speaker 4>level teams, mainly because as you know, John A lot

1420
01:21:41.960 --> 01:21:44.439
<v Speaker 4>of leagues are playing soccer right now, and not everyone

1421
01:21:44.479 --> 01:21:46.960
<v Speaker 4>gets released. But you know, I think both Costa Rica

1422
01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:49.079
<v Speaker 4>and Venezuela are going to be able to provide a

1423
01:21:49.119 --> 01:21:52.279
<v Speaker 4>good level of talent that you can at least say, Okay,

1424
01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:55.640
<v Speaker 4>did this person It's not Serbia's like be or Z team, right,

1425
01:21:56.319 --> 01:22:00.439
<v Speaker 4>did this person look good enough in this game to

1426
01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:05.600
<v Speaker 4>warrant another look. I'll just hedge my personal feelings and

1427
01:22:05.640 --> 01:22:11.399
<v Speaker 4>that very few guys outside of like two maybe show

1428
01:22:11.520 --> 01:22:15.800
<v Speaker 4>that they should be part of the March Nations League camp.

1429
01:22:17.319 --> 01:22:19.399
<v Speaker 4>But a lot of these guys, I think it's fair

1430
01:22:19.439 --> 01:22:23.760
<v Speaker 4>to say are playing for those Gold Cup spots because

1431
01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:25.880
<v Speaker 4>we don't really know what Pochettina is going to be

1432
01:22:25.960 --> 01:22:28.840
<v Speaker 4>able to do with that Gold Cup roster. We're not sure.

1433
01:22:29.479 --> 01:22:31.680
<v Speaker 4>We haven't heard anything about like is this going to

1434
01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:33.640
<v Speaker 4>be the first team or is he going to say, hey,

1435
01:22:33.720 --> 01:22:35.880
<v Speaker 4>y'all need a break? And it does kind of seem

1436
01:22:35.920 --> 01:22:37.960
<v Speaker 4>like you won't force players to play if they don't

1437
01:22:37.960 --> 01:22:42.880
<v Speaker 4>want to play, So I doubt we're seeing Pulisic McKinney

1438
01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:45.079
<v Speaker 4>way of those guys. You know, but I will say,

1439
01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:48.439
<v Speaker 4>gi Arena, homeboy, You've played like twelve minutes now. He's

1440
01:22:48.479 --> 01:22:50.760
<v Speaker 4>playing a lot more now. But g Orana might be

1441
01:22:50.800 --> 01:22:52.159
<v Speaker 4>one of those where it's like, well you kind of

1442
01:22:52.199 --> 01:22:54.800
<v Speaker 4>need to play right. Ricardo Peppy might be a guy

1443
01:22:54.840 --> 01:22:56.520
<v Speaker 4>where you go. You know, it might not be a

1444
01:22:56.520 --> 01:22:58.800
<v Speaker 4>bad idea, but we're going to have to fill out

1445
01:22:58.800 --> 01:23:00.720
<v Speaker 4>a twenty three man roster for Gold Cup, and a

1446
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:03.039
<v Speaker 4>lot of these guys I think are playing for those spots,

1447
01:23:03.079 --> 01:23:08.039
<v Speaker 4>including goalkeeper Patrick Schulte, who is perfectly fine against a

1448
01:23:08.079 --> 01:23:11.159
<v Speaker 4>team that didn't really do a whole lot. You know,

1449
01:23:11.199 --> 01:23:13.239
<v Speaker 4>the goal that was conceded. I don't know if that's

1450
01:23:13.279 --> 01:23:19.960
<v Speaker 4>his fault by any stretch. Miles was decent enough, I think.

1451
01:23:20.199 --> 01:23:22.000
<v Speaker 4>But but we're going to kind of look at where

1452
01:23:22.039 --> 01:23:24.560
<v Speaker 4>did where do these guys fit in the We always

1453
01:23:24.560 --> 01:23:28.720
<v Speaker 4>talk about that forty man, you know, because you have

1454
01:23:28.800 --> 01:23:32.199
<v Speaker 4>your twenty three but John, as you've seen, as we've

1455
01:23:32.199 --> 01:23:37.239
<v Speaker 4>seen from watching these national teams, health is an enigma for.

1456
01:23:37.439 --> 01:23:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Some health transfers. Yeah, the season plan, yeah, you need

1457
01:23:43.479 --> 01:23:46.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, you.

1458
01:23:46.319 --> 01:23:49.520
<v Speaker 4>Gotta you gotta build up that forty man roster basically

1459
01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:53.600
<v Speaker 4>who's and we see this for up and down the roster.

1460
01:23:53.640 --> 01:23:55.159
<v Speaker 4>We got to find out our a depth so that

1461
01:23:55.279 --> 01:23:58.199
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of what we're looking at from these friendlies,

1462
01:23:58.239 --> 01:24:00.720
<v Speaker 4>and we'll talk about that either early this week or

1463
01:24:00.760 --> 01:24:02.439
<v Speaker 4>early next week or late this week.

1464
01:24:03.119 --> 01:24:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Well you know you're going to talk about it early

1465
01:24:04.640 --> 01:24:07.199
<v Speaker 1>next week with us on Monday, and we'll go through. Okay,

1466
01:24:07.279 --> 01:24:10.119

1467

01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:30.159
<v Speaker 1>There you go like that. Bart actually had the real

1474
01:24:30.199 --> 01:24:32.920
<v Speaker 1>world come in. Yeah, so Bart had the real world

1475
01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:36.239
<v Speaker 1>come in, and so he had to he had to

1476
01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:38.159
<v Speaker 1>bail by ten thirty, all right, So we got him

1477
01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:41.119
<v Speaker 1>out ten twenty nine. All right. So a couple of notes,

1478
01:24:41.159 --> 01:24:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and this is going to be kind of random stuff.

1479
01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:45.159
<v Speaker 1>We're going to update you with all the stories that

1480
01:24:45.199 --> 01:24:49.079
<v Speaker 1>we have going on probably about another fifteen minutes or so,

1481
01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:51.479
<v Speaker 1>and then I got to take the boss to the

1482
01:24:51.520 --> 01:24:53.720
<v Speaker 1>doctor for the follow up and putting onto the cast

1483
01:24:53.760 --> 01:24:56.359
<v Speaker 1>for the second time. So here we go. Like I said,

1484
01:24:56.359 --> 01:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be random and I got to

1485
01:24:57.720 --> 01:25:00.640
<v Speaker 1>say hi to everybody too. What I have on what

1486
01:25:00.720 --> 01:25:05.039
<v Speaker 1>I have on my computer? All right, So it looks

1487
01:25:05.159 --> 01:25:09.920
<v Speaker 1>like Luisa Mudio has signed with the Charleston Battery to

1488
01:25:10.279 --> 01:25:12.680
<v Speaker 1>be their new keeper. How do I know that? It's

1489
01:25:12.760 --> 01:25:15.359
<v Speaker 1>right there on their two hundred and eighty character apps.

1490
01:25:15.359 --> 01:25:18.760
<v Speaker 1>So Louisa Mudio, he is up and running now with

1491
01:25:18.800 --> 01:25:24.119
<v Speaker 1>the Charleston Battery. Also from Laurel Fayler, who if you

1492
01:25:24.199 --> 01:25:29.119
<v Speaker 1>don't follow and don't don't subscribe to her Patreon to

1493
01:25:29.159 --> 01:25:31.479
<v Speaker 1>get all the great info that she gives on a

1494
01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:33.960
<v Speaker 1>daily basis. When it comes to e f CIA Cincinnati,

1495
01:25:34.399 --> 01:25:39.039
<v Speaker 1>the camp roster was announced for their travel Lucho Acosta's

1496
01:25:39.079 --> 01:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>not on it, u Yakubo's not on it. They anticipate

1497
01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Miles being apart once Camp Cupcake is over. Also this

1498
01:25:46.439 --> 01:25:49.279
<v Speaker 1>morning from Laurel f c Cincinnati, finalizing an agreement to

1499
01:25:49.319 --> 01:25:53.079
<v Speaker 1>send a Varro Barrial on Loanda Santo's through the end

1500
01:25:53.119 --> 01:25:56.319
<v Speaker 1>of twenty five with a purchase option, sources confirmed to

1501
01:25:56.399 --> 01:25:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Queen City Press. Londa Santos has been in the works

1502
01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:01.800
<v Speaker 1>for several weeks. Barrio all completed medicals with Santos late

1503
01:26:01.920 --> 01:26:04.920
<v Speaker 1>last week. Joins the club at closing in on the

1504
01:26:04.960 --> 01:26:09.439
<v Speaker 1>potential signing of Naima. According to sources close to the situation, Barrial,

1505
01:26:09.479 --> 01:26:11.920
<v Speaker 1>who spent the twenty four season on loan with Cruzero,

1506
01:26:12.399 --> 01:26:15.680
<v Speaker 1>signed a one year contract extension with FCC prior to

1507
01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:18.720
<v Speaker 1>completing the deal with Santos. Club options for twenty four

1508
01:26:18.720 --> 01:26:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and twenty five had been automatically triggered, but this was

1509
01:26:21.720 --> 01:26:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the last year of the extension he signed in twenty

1510
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. And remember this is what we see a

1511
01:26:26.560 --> 01:26:30.439
<v Speaker 1>lot in order to retain control of the player, and

1512
01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:32.760
<v Speaker 1>this is what I remind you guys of, and thus

1513
01:26:32.760 --> 01:26:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the ability to potentially sell him. Still, FCC needed Barril

1514
01:26:37.000 --> 01:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to agree on another extension. Source close to the situation

1515
01:26:40.079 --> 01:26:42.119
<v Speaker 1>said Barriol agreed to the contract to help get the

1516
01:26:42.119 --> 01:26:45.159
<v Speaker 1>deal done. Includes a pay raise in twenty six should

1517
01:26:45.159 --> 01:26:48.039
<v Speaker 1>he return to the club. The four million dollar purchase

1518
01:26:48.079 --> 01:26:52.399
<v Speaker 1>option with Santos automatically triggers if he plays two thirds

1519
01:26:52.439 --> 01:26:56.119
<v Speaker 1>basically at the team's matches. FC Cincinnati had expected Cruiser

1520
01:26:56.279 --> 01:26:58.159
<v Speaker 1>to purchase his contract at the end of his loan

1521
01:26:58.279 --> 01:27:00.720
<v Speaker 1>last year or for another buyer to step in, and

1522
01:27:00.800 --> 01:27:04.279
<v Speaker 1>GM Chris Albright had been building the roster around other players,

1523
01:27:04.880 --> 01:27:08.880
<v Speaker 1>including Barriol's replacement in Luca Origiano or Agiano doesn't want

1524
01:27:08.880 --> 01:27:14.159
<v Speaker 1>to be in Cincinnati either right now. Barrel joined FCC

1525
01:27:14.279 --> 01:27:16.960
<v Speaker 1>in September twenty twenty from Vellaz and was a part

1526
01:27:16.960 --> 01:27:18.920
<v Speaker 1>of the turnaround under pat Noon and in twenty two

1527
01:27:19.119 --> 01:27:22.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty three All Star season scored a push gust goal

1528
01:27:22.039 --> 01:27:24.840
<v Speaker 1>of the Year contender, drawing interest from clubs in Europe,

1529
01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:28.319
<v Speaker 1>requested the loan of Cruzero. Was playing well until injuries

1530
01:27:28.359 --> 01:27:32.039
<v Speaker 1>impacted his performance late August and playing time diminished. So

1531
01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:38.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the latest. With Barrial and three hundred thousand dollars

1532
01:27:38.680 --> 01:27:43.680
<v Speaker 1>loan fees, Santos will be paying for alvar O Barrial.

1533
01:27:44.279 --> 01:27:48.119
<v Speaker 1>Some stupidity down here, we actually have some good coming

1534
01:27:48.159 --> 01:27:52.039
<v Speaker 1>out of it and it comes from third division. Bradford

1535
01:27:52.079 --> 01:27:54.640
<v Speaker 1>City can confirm two arrests have been made in Mead

1536
01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:57.840
<v Speaker 1>relating to racially aggravated hate crimes and recent home fixtures

1537
01:27:57.840 --> 01:28:01.359
<v Speaker 1>and separate incidents. West Yorkshire Police detained an individual in

1538
01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the West End during the game against Chesterfield another person

1539
01:28:03.840 --> 01:28:06.279
<v Speaker 1>in the way and at Grimsby Town on January four.

1540
01:28:07.119 --> 01:28:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Club staff took immediate action to identify the individual's notify

1541
01:28:10.239 --> 01:28:13.279
<v Speaker 1>the authorities and sure appropriate action was taken. Both cases

1542
01:28:13.319 --> 01:28:17.640
<v Speaker 1>now subject to ongoing police investigations. Bradford City as zero

1543
01:28:17.760 --> 01:28:20.399
<v Speaker 1>tolerance toward racism or any form of discrimination, we urge

1544
01:28:20.439 --> 01:28:23.560
<v Speaker 1>anyone who experiences or witnesses such behavior to report it

1545
01:28:23.600 --> 01:28:25.680
<v Speaker 1>immediately in as much as tail as possible to ensure

1546
01:28:25.680 --> 01:28:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the club can take appropriate action. So good work from

1547
01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:34.399
<v Speaker 1>our friends in the third division of the English football pyramid. Okay,

1548
01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:38.680
<v Speaker 1>time to say hi to everybody and then we can

1549
01:28:39.760 --> 01:28:41.479
<v Speaker 1>go on with all the other news and notes and

1550
01:28:41.520 --> 01:28:45.960
<v Speaker 1>everything that are here. But once again thanks to Ben

1551
01:28:46.039 --> 01:28:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Jacobs for dropping by this morning. It was great to

1552
01:28:47.920 --> 01:28:51.199
<v Speaker 1>see him and great to have him break everything down

1553
01:28:51.199 --> 01:28:54.479
<v Speaker 1>when it came to Miguel Almeroon, Emmanuel Latte, Live odds

1554
01:28:54.520 --> 01:28:57.279
<v Speaker 1>On Edward, all those pieces and what MLS means in

1555
01:28:57.319 --> 01:29:01.359
<v Speaker 1>the world's fear as part of the part of the

1556
01:29:01.359 --> 01:29:06.199
<v Speaker 1>the transfers and bringing the talent from Europe in the

1557
01:29:06.199 --> 01:29:09.000
<v Speaker 1>European theater to Major League Soccer. So it's great to

1558
01:29:09.039 --> 01:29:11.560
<v Speaker 1>catch up with Ben and find out what's going on

1559
01:29:11.640 --> 01:29:15.319
<v Speaker 1>in his universe, which translates into a lot. But I

1560
01:29:15.359 --> 01:29:18.039
<v Speaker 1>can't thank him enough for the time and dropping by

1561
01:29:18.279 --> 01:29:22.039
<v Speaker 1>on a Tuesday, So saying hi to everybody. Morning D.

1562
01:29:22.159 --> 01:29:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Graham and Alex and Will, Morning Derek, Morning Ropes, Morning Tom,

1563
01:29:25.640 --> 01:29:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Morning Emilio, Morning four Card, Morning Badger, Morning Thomas. Once again,

1564
01:29:31.880 --> 01:29:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Morning Will. Let's see and once again, thanks to all

1565
01:29:36.840 --> 01:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>of you guys for all of your all of your

1566
01:29:40.039 --> 01:29:42.720
<v Speaker 1>your comments and your warmth involving the boss. It means

1567
01:29:42.760 --> 01:29:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot, it really does. Morning Michael Head. And once again,

1568
01:29:46.640 --> 01:29:49.600
<v Speaker 1>like you said, Michael's about a five iron from here

1569
01:29:49.880 --> 01:29:51.720
<v Speaker 1>east to here. So I can hit a five iron.

1570
01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:53.399
<v Speaker 1>If I can get it through the trees, I can

1571
01:29:53.399 --> 01:29:57.399
<v Speaker 1>get a good role. That's where That's where Michael Head

1572
01:29:57.439 --> 01:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>is in relation to Office HD. So Morning Dawn Starr,

1573
01:30:01.560 --> 01:30:04.840
<v Speaker 1>glad that you are in this morning as well. Let's

1574
01:30:04.840 --> 01:30:08.439
<v Speaker 1>see Morning Jason Nicks. Nicks last night says he couldn't

1575
01:30:08.439 --> 01:30:10.279
<v Speaker 1>even root for the Medior because they were playing at

1576
01:30:10.319 --> 01:30:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Mercedes Benz. Morning, Ricky Ricardo. Let's see morning Pars Pars

1577
01:30:17.199 --> 01:30:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and his newly acquired Aston Villa doing pretty well. Thank

1578
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:26.600
<v Speaker 1>you Thomas for the heads up on Ornstein and Latte

1579
01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:30.279
<v Speaker 1>Las that came in handy. Let's see Morning D. Graham

1580
01:30:32.720 --> 01:30:35.279
<v Speaker 1>for what it's worth. Thomas says also saw something that

1581
01:30:35.520 --> 01:30:38.159
<v Speaker 1>suggests Leeds didn't have twenty million in their transfer budget

1582
01:30:38.199 --> 01:30:46.399
<v Speaker 1>this window. Let's see Morning Shariff, and let's see who

1583
01:30:46.439 --> 01:30:52.319
<v Speaker 1>else am I missing? See now Badger's got the billion

1584
01:30:52.319 --> 01:30:57.359
<v Speaker 1>dollar question involving Spurs. What point do LEVI and E

1585
01:30:57.560 --> 01:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and I see get the hint that they're actually the problem.

1586
01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:06.600
<v Speaker 1>But that's the thing. When you're in charge and you

1587
01:31:06.720 --> 01:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>don't have anyone to challenge you in the position of authority,

1588
01:31:11.720 --> 01:31:13.800
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to be a place where you're gonna

1589
01:31:13.800 --> 01:31:16.399
<v Speaker 1>sit there and go you know what, I think I'm

1590
01:31:16.439 --> 01:31:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the problem. I don't know if EGO will allow that,

1591
01:31:22.079 --> 01:31:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and especially if there isn't anyone sitting there is saying

1592
01:31:24.560 --> 01:31:27.479
<v Speaker 1>that the Emperor is naked. So I think that might

1593
01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>be the issue with Spurs and will always be kind

1594
01:31:29.520 --> 01:31:32.119
<v Speaker 1>of like Dallas. No one's going to go up to

1595
01:31:32.199 --> 01:31:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Jera and go sir, I think you might need to

1596
01:31:34.920 --> 01:31:38.119
<v Speaker 1>step down. That's not gonna happen. So I think the

1597
01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys and Spurs are kind of in the same boat.

1598
01:31:43.199 --> 01:31:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, let's see morning four card four card Barsa

1599
01:31:50.840 --> 01:31:52.880
<v Speaker 1>needs to stay away from any deal, and I say

1600
01:31:52.880 --> 01:31:55.319
<v Speaker 1>this is someone who cares very much about Barsa. Yeah,

1601
01:31:55.479 --> 01:31:59.079
<v Speaker 1>pay your bills first. Please pay your bills first. Only

1602
01:31:59.119 --> 01:32:02.840
<v Speaker 1>make selling deals at makes sense. And that's true, and

1603
01:32:03.960 --> 01:32:06.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know he's asking a lot, but please

1604
01:32:06.239 --> 01:32:09.159
<v Speaker 1>just have some common sense. Barsa. Don't know if that's

1605
01:32:09.159 --> 01:32:12.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. Barsa is probably going to figure out how

1606
01:32:12.359 --> 01:32:15.079
<v Speaker 1>to sell more boxes that don't exist and try to

1607
01:32:15.079 --> 01:32:22.039
<v Speaker 1>figure out what's going on. Morning Shariff, Thomas and Tom

1608
01:32:22.720 --> 01:32:27.479
<v Speaker 1>and Abby. Good morning. You guys are talking about FIFA restrictions, construction.

1609
01:32:27.560 --> 01:32:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Guys in the house with a kitchen redo. Can't wait

1610
01:32:29.600 --> 01:32:32.560
<v Speaker 1>until everything is all done, get the dust out. More

1611
01:32:32.600 --> 01:32:36.199
<v Speaker 1>work to do. And Abby, thank you by the way, Yes,

1612
01:32:37.239 --> 01:32:39.119
<v Speaker 1>I will let you know if the boss would like

1613
01:32:39.199 --> 01:32:43.239
<v Speaker 1>a meal delivered from Abby. And and the boss is

1614
01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:46.880
<v Speaker 1>actually over there and so she saw that comment and

1615
01:32:47.640 --> 01:32:50.159
<v Speaker 1>very very humbled at that. So thank you Abby for that.

1616
01:32:50.159 --> 01:32:53.680
<v Speaker 1>It's very very kind. Also on the board and trying

1617
01:32:53.720 --> 01:32:55.680
