Speaker 1: Hmmm, come on, many, go for it.
Speaker 2: Dude, gets Friday.
Speaker 3: Day and then you had all right. I'm still trying
Speaker 3: to figure out how did make all these things working,
Speaker 3: pushing button and everything and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: So Hi, it's a Friday, and it is you and
Speaker 3: me and everybody, and we got stuff to talk about
Speaker 3: all over the place. We've got draws that came up
Speaker 3: in both Europa League and in champions Like. We'll get
Speaker 3: into that. We'll get into somebody who came by the
Speaker 3: airport last night here in SDHHD and came back and
Speaker 3: there were folks that were welcoming somebody back to Atlanta.
Speaker 3: If you were there, let me know what the vibe
Speaker 3: was like. Saw the vibe from our buddy Justin Felder
Speaker 3: at Fox five Morning Ricky and Morning Derek. I know
Speaker 3: my date is two days slow, Oh crap it is.
Speaker 3: I'll be damn uh it's I know. It's like I
Speaker 3: look at the thing and you're like, my date. Yeah
Speaker 3: it's one, No, it's one thirty one. Genius. Well let
Speaker 3: me here, let me see if I can, let me
Speaker 3: see if I can do a live edit here edit
Speaker 3: and no, okay, because I was trying to see if
Speaker 3: I could edit copy update. Oh no, update titles. Here
Speaker 3: we go, so update titles, hang on, hang on all right,
Speaker 3: so twenty nine thirty one, next and hit next. There
Speaker 3: we go, save and magically maybe there we go. Okay,
Speaker 3: now Abby's made it to Florida in the new abstomobile.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you, Ricky, thank you for card. Good morning.
Speaker 3: All right, so if you were there, let me know
Speaker 3: what the vibe was like. We got to talk about
Speaker 3: what's going on at Middlesbrough. We gotta talk because there's
Speaker 3: obviously there's some stuff and we got to sort through it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's we got to talk about some stuff.
Speaker 3: So we'll talk about Latte Loth mainly, we'll talk about
Speaker 3: the money, and we'll get into what is being said reported.
Speaker 3: It's not news. What's being reported on the two hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty character app and it's all over the place.
Speaker 3: Money's all over the place, numbers are all well four card.
Speaker 3: I'm going to get into that. Like I said, I
Speaker 3: want to. I want to get into I don't think
Speaker 3: it's borough, but this is going to be and this
Speaker 3: is going to be a bit of a lengthy deal,
Speaker 3: so it might end up being in hour two, so
Speaker 3: we can go down the rabbit hole a little bit.
Speaker 3: But there are updates. Ricky has mentioned Cabral, allegedly reports
Speaker 3: tying him to west Ham and Graham Potter seems to
Speaker 3: be all keen on it. Remember what ever, Buddy Toddaus
Speaker 3: said yesterday. If you didn't, if you want a part
Speaker 3: of that conversation, go back, go listen to it on
Speaker 3: our platforms, on all of our audio platforms. And in
Speaker 3: the show starting at about the fifty five minute mark
Speaker 3: was when Nino's segment was yesterday when we went fully loaded.
Speaker 3: So Nino ain't all that keen on Arthur Cabral. I
Speaker 3: don't think it's burah, I you know, and I don't
Speaker 3: know Michael. If we are bidding against ourselves and I
Speaker 3: think four Card is onto it. I think four Card
Speaker 3: is onto it here. So four Card is looking at
Speaker 3: our friends at MP Management Agent, trying to kill the
Speaker 3: vibes and take more money. That's where I'm leaning in
Speaker 3: all of this. Like I said, we'll take all the
Speaker 3: pieces because it's gonna take a bit of a build.
Speaker 3: And so we'll walk through Middlesbrough and we'll walk through
Speaker 3: the numbers, we'll walk through the bit with the agent.
Speaker 3: Remember we had the talk about the agent and the agency.
Speaker 3: We had that discussioner in the week. We'll go back
Speaker 3: over that for those you've missed it about where their
Speaker 3: talent pool exists. So there's a lot to discuss about
Speaker 3: MP and the agency and the numbers, and I want
Speaker 3: to walk through it. I want to take the time.
Speaker 3: I want us to walk through it. But as four
Speaker 3: card has put into the twitch pitch, this is where
Speaker 3: I'm leaning about the agent. But like I said, we
Speaker 3: will present the evidence, we will present everything that we know,
Speaker 3: and we'll break it all down. Like I said, I
Speaker 3: think it's going to be an hour number two as
Speaker 3: we get ready for it, Lanty United and Birmingham on
Speaker 3: the weekend. Remember atlutd dot com slash live for the
Speaker 3: kick a couple of minutes before, not on ninety two
Speaker 3: nine in the game, So Atlanta in Birmingham and then
Speaker 3: after that seven point thirty Eastern is the target time
Speaker 3: that Maddy and I are going to run point where
Speaker 3: on Saturday night we're going to be at Monday night
Speaker 3: and so we'll have all your post game there. We'll
Speaker 3: have your post game thoughts. Anybody who's still in town
Speaker 3: that wants to stay, we'll go over to Monday night
Speaker 3: and hang out for a little bit. Tyler Pilgrim from
Speaker 3: Scarves and Spikes is going to be there, are Buddy
Speaker 3: Kaylor Hodges from the USL Show is going to be there.
Speaker 3: We may have some representation from Legion hanging out with
Speaker 3: us as well to find out what it's going to
Speaker 3: be like there in their USL season coming up in
Speaker 3: short order. So if you're in Birmingham a it'll be
Speaker 3: great to see it b Saturday night, at Monday night,
Speaker 3: Monday night browing, you can. Scott Flood and the Flood
Speaker 3: Project have done some great work in getting everything orchestrated
Speaker 3: in trying to make the experience in Birmingham a really
Speaker 3: cool one. And so you're not just driving over for
Speaker 3: a game and then you're driving back. So it's drive
Speaker 3: over for a game, maybe hang out for a little bit,
Speaker 3: hang out with us at Monday night brewing in downtown
Speaker 3: and then make your way back, or spend the night
Speaker 3: in Birmingham and have a good time. I guess my
Speaker 3: plan is that it's probably going to be depending on
Speaker 3: how long of a night it is at at Monday night,
Speaker 3: Monday night brewing in cafe. I may go to Rojo
Speaker 3: and pick up some tat shows and take them back
Speaker 3: to the hotel. It's kind of like it's kind of
Speaker 3: like when you go to waffle House and you get
Speaker 3: the order of hash browns and you can get scattered,
Speaker 3: mothered covered chunks and top. You can kind of do
Speaker 3: the same thing involving Rojo and their hash browns and
Speaker 3: literally you can have a meal of the hash browns
Speaker 3: that's attached. So I think it's four thirty eastern Abbey,
Speaker 3: hang on just a second, let me. I want to
Speaker 3: double check it. No, that's not what I did trying
Speaker 3: to open up windows and things like this. It's like, no,
Speaker 3: that's not what I'm trying to do. So schedule, we
Speaker 3: hit schedule. I just want to double check. So it
Speaker 3: might be a couple of minutes before four to thirty
Speaker 3: eastern time that Atland United and Birmingham Legion and go
Speaker 3: at it, and it's at protective. It's not like on
Speaker 3: any goofy campus or anything like that. It is four
Speaker 3: thirty Eastern time. Kick four thirty Eastern timekickatl utd dot com,
Speaker 3: slash Live, Mike and Jason are there. I know that
Speaker 3: Maddie and I will be there in sdh ness and
Speaker 3: we will let you know what's going on while we're there.
Speaker 3: We'll have the game report up at Soccer down Here
Speaker 3: dot net. We'll get your post game, have that posted,
Speaker 3: probably do something again to a full time report with
Speaker 3: the cast of thousands that's gonna be there. So set
Speaker 3: your notifications and set your stuff, and however you notify
Speaker 3: yourself that things are coming up on networks and audio
Speaker 3: and video and all that kind of stuff. So once

Speaker 3: will be there, will be there, and then you can
Speaker 3: go to Monday night and hang out with us on

Speaker 3: after that they go to IMG for a while and
Speaker 3: they're gonna be there for ten days, playing New England
Speaker 3: on the eighth, so next Saturday on the eighth, and
Speaker 3: then s C Cincinnati on the twelfth, coming back to
Speaker 3: Atlanta on the fifteenth, and they play in a closed
Speaker 3: door match against FC Dallas that one I believe is
Speaker 3: going to be on atl U t D dot com
Speaker 3: slash Live. I think it's on ninety two nine in
Speaker 3: the game, and that one will be on the fifteenth
Speaker 3: closed door session between FC Dallas and Atlanta United. So
Speaker 3: that's the rundown, so yesh at O U t D
Speaker 3: dot com slash Live and ninety two nine in the
Speaker 3: games broadcasting Chattanooga on radio. So at O U t
Speaker 3: D dot Com slash Live with Chattanooga, Birmingham in Dallas.
Speaker 3: Keep your notifications up involving the other matches, UH, with
Speaker 3: Cincinnati and New England if they're going to be on
Speaker 3: the dot comlas slash Live. So dot Com slash Live
Speaker 3: has the three of the five Chattanooga, Birmingham, Dallas, and
Speaker 3: just keep your notifications up for everything else, all right,
Speaker 3: So the Orlando scrimmage was added? Where was that added?
Speaker 3: Hang on? Yeah, because that was I think that was
Speaker 3: Where was the Orlando scrimmage? Hang on? Just a second, Uh,
Speaker 3: Orlando City, Atlanta United And I'm trying to type and
Speaker 3: Wednesday the fifth, So Wednesday the fifth at a time
Speaker 3: that is TBD, So Wednesday the fifth is where that

Speaker 3: Revs Are on the eighth, Cincinnati's on the twelfth. There
Speaker 3: you go, So five eight, twelve. Third one that got
Speaker 3: added in is Orlando. So once again, don't know the
Speaker 3: broadcast plans if they exist for that one, and we'll
Speaker 3: keep an eye on all of that stuff for the
Speaker 3: three matches that are in Central Florida at IMG after
Speaker 3: the match this weekend in Birmingham and then they go
Speaker 3: down to IMG and go and hang out in Bradenton, Florida.
Speaker 3: So that's what you're staring at for Atlanta United in
Speaker 3: the schedule coming up here as we get ready, because
Speaker 3: we are twenty three days away, no, twenty two, twenty
Speaker 3: two days away from the beginning of the regular season,
Speaker 3: because if it's the twenty second, then it would be
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two days and then you add one for today,
Speaker 3: So twenty three days away from the beginning of the
Speaker 3: regular season. Very very busy time in Orlando. When it
Speaker 3: comes to Atlanta United today at Mercedes Been Stadium. It
Speaker 3: is going to be the reintroduction of Miguel Almron. He's
Speaker 3: going to be there for the local media three o'clock
Speaker 3: and keep an eye out for any kind of video
Speaker 3: that might be live or recycled very very quickly about
Speaker 3: the reintroduction of Miggey to the local media three o'clock
Speaker 3: at some Mercedes been stadium, So that's your mid afternoon plans,
Speaker 3: and then everybody gets to fight traffic and drive home
Speaker 3: except for Abbey who's in South Florida. So that's going
Speaker 3: on this weekend, and then they'll discuss, you know, plans
Speaker 3: for getting mica El alm on our own. Ready does
Speaker 3: he get introduced? You know those kinds of things, you know,
Speaker 3: with the window by the way for MLS is open today,
Speaker 3: so anything that might not have been officially official can
Speaker 3: be announced today. And you're seeing some loan deals and
Speaker 3: things like that that have been announced. And we'll go
Speaker 3: over all of all of that stuff with with our
Speaker 3: news and notes an hour number two and we will
Speaker 3: break down all of the things. And let's see, Ryan
Speaker 3: Harris gives me an email this morning. Five hundred days
Speaker 3: until the World Cup. We're under five hundred June fifteenth
Speaker 3: to twenty six, and you're going to have a host
Speaker 3: city poster and one you're out at three sixty five
Speaker 3: and so website and all those kinds of things. So
Speaker 3: note today Landa is marking five hundred days to World
Speaker 3: Cup twenty twenty six. Migi is three at least that's
Speaker 3: when we were supposed to be assembled, So we'll keep
Speaker 3: an eye out for all of that, Ricky. But yeah,
Speaker 3: three o'clock is when we were told Mercedes been stadium
Speaker 3: bells and whistles and serpentina and confetti and all that
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. So this afternoon, the reintroduction is Miggy
Speaker 3: in three o'clock. Who might be so, let brick it
Speaker 3: might be five hundred us till the first Atlanta match. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it might be true because we're under five hundred total.
Speaker 3: So it was I think four ninety nine earlier this
Speaker 3: week when we were at the training center on Tuesday,
Speaker 3: So at four ninety six I think, so four ninety
Speaker 3: six if my math is correct, before the first match match.
Speaker 3: So that's where we are, all right. Opening kickoff brought
Speaker 3: to us buy our friends at Kickoff Coffee, Kickoff coffeeco
Speaker 3: dot com, and once again we'll go through all the
Speaker 3: things that you need to know when it comes to stuff.
Speaker 3: I know that that's incredibly vague, but that's just where
Speaker 3: we are all right now. Once again, you can go
Speaker 3: to our friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot
Speaker 3: com to kick off your day. And what you do
Speaker 3: is you buy out the entire store, and and then
Speaker 3: you can buy out the entire store, but you can
Speaker 3: do it at fifteen percent off by using the code
Speaker 3: soccer down here fifteen when you're checking out. So basically
Speaker 3: you could buy out the entire store. They'd be happy
Speaker 3: about it, but you could do it at fifteen percent off.
Speaker 3: You'd still have fifteen percent of your money. So like
Speaker 3: if you spent ten bucks, even though it would be
Speaker 3: more than that, you'd be saving a dollar and a half,
Speaker 3: you'd be keeping a dollar and a half spending ten dollars,
Speaker 3: and then they in turn take ten percent reinvested. Youth
Speaker 3: games youth initiatives are friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff
Speaker 3: coffeeco dot com, also Olivi and York. You can get
Speaker 3: your SDCH jersey. The first ever jersey that we've had

Speaker 3: something you know, and I'll get like a double X
Speaker 3: because A my laundry skills are awful, and b if
Speaker 3: it shrinks then there's still some room. But I like
Speaker 3: baggy anyway. And so our friends at Grady Baby and
Speaker 3: Grady Baby Co. Do a really comfortable sweatshirt and then
Speaker 3: it helps out middle school programs involved Atlanta Public schools.
Speaker 3: So there's that. And then also our friends at the

Speaker 3: if we get a visit from our friends at Beyond
Speaker 3: Goals Menering, since they are indeed traveling the planet, we
Speaker 3: can find out what is on their collective mind. So
Speaker 3: if we get a visit coming up in short order,
Speaker 3: I didn't want to start. I didn't want to start
Speaker 3: a topic and then have to dump out. So like
Speaker 3: I said, when we're done, if our friends at Beyond
Speaker 3: goals nering join us at nine p thirty. Then we
Speaker 3: can catch up with them, and then at ten o'clock
Speaker 3: we can get into Emmanuel Latte Live. We can get
Speaker 3: into Cabral, get into the news, get into the numbers,
Speaker 3: get into the reports, because the reports are goofy. I mean,
Speaker 3: the numbers, frankly are all over the place, and I
Speaker 3: want to sort through them, and we'll go over who
Speaker 3: is sending out these reports because once again this year
Speaker 3: and every year, every window check your sources, check your sources,
Speaker 3: check your sources, because there's some weird numbers out there.
Speaker 3: And yeah, Ricky Yamal Emiliside did post a note saying
Speaker 3: goodbye to Cincinnati, so I saw that out there as well.
Speaker 3: So and you know, we keep an eye on all
Speaker 3: of the transfers because there have been some, and we
Speaker 3: see has made a transfer of one of their young players.
Speaker 3: And we'll go through all of the news and everything
Speaker 3: and get you ready for the weekend. But as kind
Speaker 3: of a coda on opening kickoff, I don't know if
Speaker 3: you saw this, Yesterda, I think it was yesterday, and
Speaker 3: I wanted to discuss it for a new round of
Speaker 3: stupidity down here and we have to recycle the clock.
Speaker 3: And it was in the a z Alkmar match and
Speaker 3: it was it was crazy. So you had in the
Speaker 3: az in the ozied Alkmaar match, and AzID Alkimore in
Speaker 3: the past has been fined fans tried to storm an
Speaker 3: area where west Ham fangs. You remember that in the
Speaker 3: Europa Conference League. They got fined sixty eight thousand for
Speaker 3: that one apparently in their matchup in Europa League. And
Speaker 3: I want to get I want to get the numbers
Speaker 3: of what happened in the matchup in odds Portal. It
Speaker 3: was crazy that you had rival fans dressed up as
Speaker 3: stud words to try to get into fights. I think
Speaker 3: legitimately this is the first time that I've seen something
Speaker 3: like this. Where in ozid Alkmore they advanced they're gonna
Speaker 3: play galatassa Ride and that's gonna be in a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks. But in the o zed Alkmore match, let
Speaker 3: me see if I can find who was Farrence Varas
Speaker 3: okay so ozed Alkmore and Farrence Varros. Let me see
Speaker 3: if I can spell ference Varros quickly, so Asy Oakmar
Speaker 3: Ference Varas four to three. It was nuts. It was
Speaker 3: absolutely crazy. They both make the Europa League. But it
Speaker 3: appears that Ference Varro's fans decided to dress up like
Speaker 3: stewards and try and get into fights Ference Varas and
Speaker 3: this is from our u. This is from posted reports.
Speaker 3: Farence Varas Ultras disguised themselves as stewarts to fight with
Speaker 3: the oz ed Alkmar fans security and this was in Budapest.
Speaker 3: They had secure and they had security in there for
Speaker 3: the first time in ten years. So Ference Varas stewarts
Speaker 3: ozid Alkmar fans. So that that's being and it was
Speaker 3: just nuts violence. But anyway, I think we might have
Speaker 3: hit a new level the stewards getting into the addressed
Speaker 3: as stewart's getting into fights with fans and the wording
Speaker 3: might be a little, you know, tongue in cheek, but
Speaker 3: it was intriguing, nevertheless to see ozid Alkmore and Farence
Speaker 3: Varas getting into it. Yesterday. If you've missed the if
Speaker 3: you've missed the morning Espresso, I would recommend that you
Speaker 3: catch up with that because it gets into the shorter,
Speaker 3: shorter news involving it at Land United News of the Day.
Speaker 3: Those kinds of things. We do have our new mats,
Speaker 3: by the way, in Europa League and in Champions League.
Speaker 3: I wanna get into the Champions League because this might
Speaker 3: take a little bit of time too. But Europa League
Speaker 3: asy out Mark, galatasar Porto and Roma, Fenerbach, Anderlech, Ferns
Speaker 3: Varros and Victoria Pilsen, Mitchell Andre Associate did Paluk, Slonka, FCSB,
Speaker 3: Royal Unjon and Iax and Twine and Bodo Glimped. That's
Speaker 3: gonna happen on the thirteenth of February. Champions League matchups. Yeah,
Speaker 3: man City and Madridigan who knew uh breston PSG And
Speaker 3: this is on the eleventh. The eleventh is gonna have
Speaker 3: all the matchups. Celtic and Bayern Munich Byron a big
Speaker 3: favorite already We're two weeks out. They're already favored at
Speaker 3: a minus two ninety four. Club Bruce in Atalanta, Atalanta
Speaker 3: favorite Fine Ordon Ac Milan Ac Milan favored a lot
Speaker 3: of road dogs, I mean a lot of road favorites.
Speaker 3: You've a at home favored against PSVA to minus one twenty.
Speaker 3: Manchester City actually favored it home at a plus one
Speaker 3: twenty nine. Considering form, Manchester City a plus one twenty nine.
Speaker 3: Re Real Madrid a plus one ninety. Your draw is
Speaker 3: a plus two sixty three. Monaco hosting Benfica a plus
Speaker 3: one twenty nine. Benfica is a dog there and Sporting
Speaker 3: hosting Dortmund at a plus one twenty. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Sporting at a plus one twenty hosting Dortmund at a
Speaker 3: plus two oh nine. Your draw is a plus two
Speaker 3: fifty nine. So that is your road that you're round
Speaker 3: of sixteen, your next sixteen teams going up against each other,
Speaker 3: and then they screwed it all up, because then from
Speaker 3: there you've got to have another drawing and figure out, okay,
Speaker 3: what's your path. You get nine through twenty four figuring
Speaker 3: it out, then they they reorganize the thing and it's like, well,
Speaker 3: we don't know who you're gonna play next. Basically is
Speaker 3: what they're doing. We're gonna we're gonna we're gonna juggle
Speaker 3: it up all over again, and then we're gonna let
Speaker 3: you know what it looks like. Could be Liverpool, could Bear,
Speaker 3: could be Leo, could be aston Villa one two seconds.
Speaker 3: Look just look just do it this way, bro, look
Speaker 3: Breston PSG and it's not and it's like literally it's
Speaker 3: the fifteen and the eighteen. It's not even the sixteen
Speaker 3: and the seventeen yet because we don't know. Just just
Speaker 3: line it up, absolutely, I know. And Madrid's a dog
Speaker 3: yeah on the road. That's literally ricky. You look at
Speaker 3: this and it's like Madrid a plus one ninety going
Speaker 3: to Manchester City draws a plus two sixty three. That
Speaker 3: one's sitting right there for everybody. But they still have
Speaker 3: to figure out who you're gonna play next breston Paris.
Speaker 3: You're fifteen eighteen, which really needs to be the You know,
Speaker 3: if it's the you need to just reseed this whole thing.
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, Liverpool or Barsa is gonna play
Speaker 3: Breast or pay or PSG. The seven or the eight
Speaker 3: is gonna play the nine or the twenty. The five
Speaker 3: or the six is gonna play the eleven versus the
Speaker 3: twenty two. It's gonna be either one or the other.
Speaker 3: Just line it up. Just line it up the winners
Speaker 3: in the nine through the twenty four. You reseed it.
Speaker 3: Lowest seed goes and plays the highest seed. It's not
Speaker 3: that hard. It's not that hard. People. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm thinking of logic and I'll bring in our
Speaker 3: next guest and and and find out about this whole
Speaker 3: logic thing. Kap it am I being illogical, just wanting logic.
Speaker 3: When it comes to the Champions League, it's like an
Speaker 3: either or you get a fit. You get fifteen of
Speaker 3: the eighteen, and they're gonna play either the one or
Speaker 3: the two. It's either you're gonna eat the mashed potatoes
Speaker 3: or you're gonna eat the green beans. It's not like, look,
Speaker 3: you're going right at the meat loaf. Am I wrong here?
Speaker 3: I don't know, John, I'm getting I'm getting one of
Speaker 3: those scanners headaches, just trying to figure out what the
Speaker 3: Champions League is trying to figure out.
Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, it seems like, you know, sometimes you just
Speaker 4: got to keep it simple.
Speaker 3: Just keep it simple, kiss, keep it simple, stupid exactly.
Speaker 5: I mean, then you go back to the basics a
Speaker 5: little bit here.
Speaker 3: This is what I'm saying, all right. So, and speaking
Speaker 3: of back to basics, you know, the Beatles had a
Speaker 3: lyric get back to where he once belonged, you know,
Speaker 3: talking heads, same as it ever was. Dude came into
Speaker 3: the airport last night. I don't know if you know this,
Speaker 3: but a dude came to the Atlanta airport last night
Speaker 3: and there were a lot of folks that were there
Speaker 3: to meet him. I don't know if you know this, gentleman,
Speaker 3: but his first name is Miguel and he's here in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: Have you had interactions with this woman in the past
Speaker 3: on any level? What can he bring to it? Landy United?
Speaker 3: Do you know this, gentleman?
Speaker 5: I think we all do. Yeah. I'm excited. It's gonna
Speaker 5: be Uh, it's gonna be exciting.
Speaker 4: It's exciting for the team obviously on the field, you know,
Speaker 4: bringing what he brings to the team, but I think
Speaker 4: just as important it's going to energize the fan base.
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, I know that there's been moments
Speaker 4: the past few years where things have you know, peaked
Speaker 4: up and the crowds have been good and stuff. But
Speaker 4: you know, I want to get.
Speaker 5: Back to that.
Speaker 4: Normal sellout crowds, you know, crazy atmosphere, even if it's
Speaker 4: a Wednesday night game.
Speaker 5: Hey, and Miguel is going to help bring that back.
Speaker 3: Uh. I have a question to to you, sir, And
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can, uh, if you can
Speaker 3: put any light on this. Uh. There was a picture
Speaker 3: posted to social media and the gentleman looked a lot
Speaker 3: like you, and you know, this could have been you.
Speaker 3: It could have been a doppelganger. It could have been
Speaker 3: someone masquerading, I don't know, someone maybe doing a late
Speaker 3: Halloween thing, and it was someone who looked a lot
Speaker 3: like you looking into a mirror. And you had a
Speaker 3: jersey that had a name on the back of this
Speaker 3: particular gentleman, how long did it take you to get
Speaker 3: that jersey? How how did were you allowed to order
Speaker 3: that from an MLS shop dot com like three weeks
Speaker 3: ago and you were being just prescient? Or did you
Speaker 3: hit the FedEx button on this one? How did how
Speaker 3: did you? How did you get your intel?
Speaker 5: Sir man?
Speaker 4: I'm old, but I'm not that old where I still
Speaker 4: have a hookup here and there. And so, you know,
Speaker 4: a package arrived in the mail and had a little
Speaker 4: special gift and I thought, you know what, I should
Speaker 4: probably share this with the world.
Speaker 3: A package just showed up on your doorstep. It's like,
Speaker 3: oh wow, look at this. I think I think maybe
Speaker 3: this will this this might be cool to wear. Okay,
Speaker 3: so the man got the hookup is basically what happened.
Speaker 4: Exactly, Okay, exactly, And to be honest, Sean, I'm not
Speaker 4: like a Jersey you know, snob. And when I put
Speaker 4: it on, I didn't even know it was in New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Oh, because yeah, because it has like the it's the
Speaker 3: the black stripes go all the way up to the shoulder,
Speaker 3: the shoulder blade and everything like that. This not just
Speaker 3: cut off. It goes all the way up into the
Speaker 3: shoulder blade and the stripes this.
Speaker 4: Year, yeah, I mean I just saw the stripes and
Speaker 4: the name on the back and everything like that, and
Speaker 4: that's all I was focused on. And then I saw
Speaker 4: some of the comments about saying it was a Jersey league,
Speaker 4: and I was like.
Speaker 3: It is. I'm when I'm I'm the most excited to
Speaker 3: see how I mean, obviously, you know at the airport,
Speaker 3: he's literally signing every single autograph that was asked if him,
Speaker 3: and that's that's normally, that's his gregarious nature. But I
Speaker 3: am intrigued to see how different a player he is
Speaker 3: six years on. Yea, how what what the experience in
Speaker 3: the Premier League has given him internally and externally. We
Speaker 3: know that you can still shoot him out of a
Speaker 3: cannon and good luck catching him when he slams it
Speaker 3: into fifth gear. But but I'm interested in seeing how
Speaker 3: he has continued to evolve. I won't necessarily say mature,
Speaker 3: because he's still you know, running around like you know what.
Speaker 3: But I'm intrigued to see how thirty year old Miguel
Speaker 3: Almeron will be here in Atlanta with the game that
Speaker 3: he has evolved over the last six years.
Speaker 5: Totally yeah, same.
Speaker 4: You know, I think that we've all seen him play
Speaker 4: a little bit over in Europe and uh, you know,
Speaker 4: he looks he has looked the same as he did
Speaker 4: in Atlanta, you know, just rubbing and rubbing off tackles,
Speaker 4: just flying through people, running around, busy and dangerous, and.
Speaker 5: You know, I think that's what we expect.
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, don't think anybody really quite knows
Speaker 4: the formation that we're going to play. And you know,
Speaker 4: there's a lot of a lot of pieces now to
Speaker 4: the team, and you've got a lot of attacking options
Speaker 4: that it's going to be interesting to see how the
Speaker 4: gaff forgets everybody on the field and how he lines
Speaker 4: everyone up and what the responsibility is because Miguel had
Speaker 4: a lot of freedom under tap top, especially when we
Speaker 4: were playing in that three five to two esque. It
Speaker 4: was like a three six to one basically where Miguel
Speaker 4: could kind of roam and do as.
Speaker 5: He pleased and go wherever he wanted.
Speaker 4: And you know that suited him obviously really good defensively.
Speaker 5: You know, he did what he needed to do, and
Speaker 5: so yeah, it would be interesting to see how his
Speaker 5: game has evolved.
Speaker 4: And you know, does he do a little bit less
Speaker 4: running and you know he used his brain a little
Speaker 4: bit more.
Speaker 5: That's that's what tends to happen when you hit your thirties, right.
Speaker 4: But you know, I think on in counter attack situations
Speaker 4: and you know, on that turf, there's a there's nothing
Speaker 4: scarier than me running at you.
Speaker 5: So I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 3: Did he What was it like having him run at you?
Speaker 3: In practice?
Speaker 4: A nightmare because not only it's like, oh God, how
Speaker 4: am I going to keep up with this guy? But
Speaker 4: at the same time you're like, God, I don't want
Speaker 4: to follow him, follow him and hurt him.
Speaker 3: You know, So yeah, it was tough when it comes
Speaker 3: to and I want to I want to get this
Speaker 3: to the mentoring aspect of things, when when you have
Speaker 3: someone who comes into a situation and he's the new kid,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what you know, about and what you
Speaker 3: might know, what you might not know. Do you have
Speaker 3: conversations with your with your mentees about being the new
Speaker 3: kid at school, about being the new kid and what
Speaker 3: it's like to try and integrate and be a part
Speaker 3: of the team while still trying to learn on the
Speaker 3: field what you want and be a part of the
Speaker 3: whole vibe off the field. Do you have those conversations
Speaker 3: with your mentees.
Speaker 4: Oh, definitely on both sides of it, right, Because you've
Speaker 4: got the players that are a part of the team
Speaker 4: are welcoming in a new player, and then you've got
Speaker 4: the new player who's joining a new team, and so
Speaker 4: we talk about both of those aspects because they're both important,
Speaker 4: and everyone that plays any sport for a while will
Speaker 4: be in that situation on both ends at some point,
Speaker 4: and you know, and only then do you realize how
Speaker 4: difficult sometimes it can be to be the new person,
Speaker 4: depending on the environment that you're walking into and depending
Speaker 4: on who you are as a person.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: It's it's for some guys, it's so easy because they're
Speaker 4: loud and open and so confident, and they just walk
Speaker 4: into any locker room and you feel like, Wow, this
Speaker 4: guy's been here forever, you know. But then there's other
Speaker 4: people who are you know, much more shy and quiet,
Speaker 4: and you know, how do they find their way? So yeah,
Speaker 4: we absolutely do. And to those types of you know,
Speaker 4: to the first type, it's pretty easy, right, we have
Speaker 4: to have to.
Speaker 5: Tell them like, hey, you know, know your role.
Speaker 4: You know, don't go stepping on anybody's toes in the
Speaker 4: first couple of days, even though you want to play
Speaker 4: with that confidence.
Speaker 5: But it's more of.
Speaker 4: The other players of like, okay, how can you find
Speaker 4: one player or two players that you can you can
Speaker 4: bond with and get to know and then slowly integrate
Speaker 4: yourself more into the team, not feeling like you have
Speaker 4: to be best friends with everyone on the team on
Speaker 4: day one, because that's that's daunting and it's challenging, you know.
Speaker 4: And then on the reverse side, right, how can you
Speaker 4: be a welcoming teammate because it makes a huge difference.
Speaker 5: It makes a huge difference.
Speaker 4: And you know, if you've got the confidence that you're
Speaker 4: going to be able to keep your place in the
Speaker 4: team and that this new player isn't going to kick
Speaker 4: you out of the starting lineup or anything, there's no
Speaker 4: reason why you shouldn't be welcoming to a new player.
Speaker 3: But then for the for the player who's coming into
Speaker 3: the situation, you don't want them to overcorrect. You don't
Speaker 3: want them to lose what got them into that situation
Speaker 3: that they're stepping into, because I would imagine at times
Speaker 3: there are there is the player who's coming in, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I want to make the right first impression. I want
Speaker 3: to be the player, but at the same time, I
Speaker 3: don't want to step on any toes, and you know,
Speaker 3: I don't want to upset the chemistry that's already here.
Speaker 3: So I would anticipate that that's a that that's a
Speaker 3: delicate balance and trying to figure out figure out your plays,
Speaker 3: not not mess up what's there, and continued development. It's
Speaker 3: like three things working at the same time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And to that, I would say, don't worry about
Speaker 4: stepping on toes out on the field.
Speaker 5: Right. You go out on the field and you do.
Speaker 4: Everything that's got you this opportunity and got you there,
Speaker 4: and you don't worry about anything else other than going
Speaker 4: out there and being you and playing as best as
Speaker 4: you can and as hard as you can and working
Speaker 4: as hard as you can.
Speaker 5: Right, it's more.
Speaker 4: Off the field of like, you know, being cognizant that
Speaker 4: you're the new player and helping out and having a
Speaker 4: good attitude and you know, not being so brash in
Speaker 4: the locker room and things like that, you know, settling
Speaker 4: in a little bit. But on the field, we definitely
Speaker 4: try and tell the players know, hey, have that confidence,
Speaker 4: go ahead, get in there. It's other players need to
Speaker 4: figure out who you are as a player, and you
Speaker 4: need to show them from the get go this is
Speaker 4: who you are, so you know, don't be timid, don't
Speaker 4: be shy, don't be afraid of like, oh, if I'm
Speaker 4: going to go take somebody one on one, yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna do it.
Speaker 5: And if they.
Speaker 4: Look silly, then that's on them and they need to
Speaker 4: get better, right. But you know, I'm going to go
Speaker 4: out there and I'm going to do me and that's okay.
Speaker 4: It's more off the field. I feel like where you
Speaker 4: can you can make more of an impact.
Speaker 3: How were you as the new kid in school?
Speaker 5: Quiet? Yeah, shy and quiet.
Speaker 4: So for me it was it's easy to talk to
Speaker 4: those players because I was one of them. You know,
Speaker 4: I saw the other people that were the other way
Speaker 4: and how they could integrate really easily. But for me,
Speaker 4: it was like, no, I'm going to chill out here
Speaker 4: on the side. I'm going to take everything in, you know,
Speaker 4: learn kind of the ropes a little bit, figure out
Speaker 4: who I want to buddy up with and who's a
Speaker 4: little bit more you know, like me and like minded,
Speaker 4: and you know, we'll go from there.
Speaker 3: Are your mentees more like you? Or are they more
Speaker 3: gregarious going into their new situations? From what you can
Speaker 3: remember off the top of your head.
Speaker 4: I'd say it's sixty forty more more open, more willing
Speaker 4: to put themselves out there and you know, not care
Speaker 4: or just have that confidence to go out there and
Speaker 4: you know, be them in any situation, which is good.
Speaker 3: Is that generationally different or is that just you know,
Speaker 3: part of what goes on on the field where you're
Speaker 3: going to have one of two personalities come out there.
Speaker 3: I didn't know if this particular generation or the mentees
Speaker 3: that you're dealing with are geared toward one direction over another,
Speaker 3: whether they they are more gregarious just naturally or they're
Speaker 3: more quiet naturally in the sixty forty mix, or is
Speaker 3: it just something that is more game state more than
Speaker 3: any thing else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, I think that I think athletes in general
Speaker 4: tend to be a little bit more confident than non
Speaker 4: athletes as far as like a in a school, And
Speaker 4: that's what I was kind of talking about. So obviously
Speaker 4: the mentees are all athletes, and so you know, I
Speaker 4: think maybe that tends to lead towards them being more
Speaker 4: confident going into certain situations. So it's kind of swayed
Speaker 4: a little bit based off of who we work with.
Speaker 3: What did you think of training camp when when training
Speaker 3: camp came up? In general? Were you excited about new
Speaker 3: seasons where you're like, oh man, it's training camp and
Speaker 3: we're going to go south, or we're going to tour,
Speaker 3: We're gonna What did you think of training camp when
Speaker 3: training camp popped up every year?
Speaker 5: Mostly excited.
Speaker 4: The only thing I wasn't excited about was fitness and
Speaker 4: fitness tests. Yeah, but no excited just to get going
Speaker 4: again and to get to know we know, the new group,
Speaker 4: you know, and.
Speaker 5: A fresh start.
Speaker 4: And I think that going away for training camp is
Speaker 4: really nice because you get to you get to bond
Speaker 4: with guys, and when you're in a hotel and you're
Speaker 4: away from home, you just bond with guys more differently
Speaker 4: than you do when you're just around them, you know,
Speaker 4: for five six hours at the training ground and then
Speaker 4: go home.
Speaker 5: So it's just different.
Speaker 4: When you're having your meals together and you're doing other
Speaker 4: things off the field together, you get to know each
Speaker 4: other a little bit better, and you know, I think
Speaker 4: that's important bonding for any team. So I always look
Speaker 4: forward to those things. And I liked getting away with
Speaker 4: the guys and you know, getting into nicer weather.
Speaker 3: So your mentees, I don't think they have training camps
Speaker 3: where they go to like IMG or anything like that.
Speaker 3: Most of the time, it might be ninety nine percent
Speaker 3: of your mentees are staying at home and they're with
Speaker 3: their teams, with their clubs, what have you. When they're
Speaker 3: going into these new environments, it's the first day of school,
Speaker 3: you know, first day of club. Do you have conversations
Speaker 3: with your mentees about pre season, about new environments, about
Speaker 3: new seasons and how to respond or do they or
Speaker 3: do you just let them do their thing and get
Speaker 3: more feedback coming back it's like, well, yeah, I've started
Speaker 3: with this new club and ABC D and E. Do
Speaker 3: you have information going in or do you get more
Speaker 3: information from them coming out when they're once they're in itself.
Speaker 4: When it comes to integrating, yeah, I think it depends
Speaker 4: on the situation of the player and if they are
Speaker 4: going to a new club, like you said, if if
Speaker 4: they're hanging out with their old club that they've been
Speaker 4: a part of for a long time, and what their
Speaker 4: situation is, and also how the previous fall went for
Speaker 4: them personally. Are they coming off a great fall and hey,
Speaker 4: let's keep that momentum going, or hey, this is a
Speaker 4: fresh start, right new season, let's recharge, let's set our
Speaker 4: goals and you know, go from there. So you know,
Speaker 4: definitely depending on if we've worked with them before, how
Speaker 4: they did last year, and you know, what their environment
Speaker 4: is that they're going into.
Speaker 5: So we're trying to take that all into account.
Speaker 3: So when you have a mentee, say that had a
Speaker 3: that had a great last season and they're coming off
Speaker 3: a great postseason, whatever that entails. You know, my my
Speaker 3: mentee had a great postseason, we'll put that we had
Speaker 3: a great last season, put that in quotes. And then
Speaker 3: you have a mentee that didn't have a good last
Speaker 3: season and they're going into a situation this year that
Speaker 3: either could be that you hope is you know, different
Speaker 3: more optimistic. How do you steer a men te coming
Speaker 3: out of a bad out of a bad vibe toward
Speaker 3: a new season and try to flip that vibe around.
Speaker 3: What are those conversations like, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, I think the first message is the same to
Speaker 4: both players, Like what happened in the past does not
Speaker 4: guarantee the same for the future, right, both both good
Speaker 4: and bad. Right, we've got a We've got an opportunity
Speaker 4: to either continue that or to change it.
Speaker 5: And that is on us.
Speaker 4: And we have that onus, on us and that power
Speaker 4: to change things that happened. Right if we create good
Speaker 4: habits and we go out there and we have a
Speaker 4: good mindset and we put the effort and we want
Speaker 4: things to change or we want them to continue, and
Speaker 4: we don't get complacent. And so you know, I think
Speaker 4: that goal setting is a big one for players that
Speaker 4: have gone through a down period and setting smaller goals, right,
Speaker 4: how do we Yeah, of course, your goal might be
Speaker 4: to start for a team. Right, maybe you came off
Speaker 4: with a terrible season, you didn't play that much, Right,
Speaker 4: I want to be a starter. Well that's great, but
Speaker 4: what are you going to do to become a starter?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: How do we have these small little goals so that
Speaker 4: each week you're saying, hey, I did these five things
Speaker 4: this week to get myself in a better place, to
Speaker 4: become a starter. And you know, that's what we try
Speaker 4: and really focus on, is like, Okay, control what you
Speaker 4: can control, put yourself in a good situation, continue to develop,
Speaker 4: and everything else will take care of itself.
Speaker 3: How hard is it to convince a men t about
Speaker 3: controlling the controllables? Because that has been an underlying thing
Speaker 3: with you and Greg ever since I think day one
Speaker 3: and all of our conversations here on Fridays. You know,
Speaker 3: I would think that mentees and that particular age group,
Speaker 3: in that particular demo, it's all about the instant gratification,
Speaker 3: the instant results. If something didn't happen, it's an extreme.
Speaker 3: It's either I did really great and the world is fantastic,
Speaker 3: or I had a bad day and everything stinks. How
Speaker 3: do you How difficult is it to have a mentee
Speaker 3: focus and understand the control the controllable's message these days?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's always a challenge, I mean, and it's not
Speaker 4: just for young mentees, right, I think for all of us,
Speaker 4: it's right.
Speaker 5: We all stress sometimes about things that we can't control.
Speaker 4: You know, we're stress about what the weather is going
Speaker 4: to be like and how that's going to affect plans
Speaker 4: or you know this, that or the other thing.
Speaker 5: Right, we all do it.
Speaker 4: So it's challenging, and you know, I think that's the
Speaker 4: more that we're able to help them just focus on
Speaker 4: one or two things and slowly change that habit and
Speaker 4: the mindset of what are we thinking about on the
Speaker 4: way to a game and what aren't we thinking about
Speaker 4: or on the way to training. Right, I think that
Speaker 4: that can help, and so then we start to get
Speaker 4: the buy in a little bit.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, it's tough.
Speaker 4: It's not a hey, this is what you should do,
Speaker 4: so go out there and do it, and great, Right,
Speaker 4: it's a constant challenge.
Speaker 3: How much how do you know you look at the
Speaker 3: adjustments that you have to make with mentees on a
Speaker 3: year and year a basis, how many adults do you
Speaker 3: have to have conversations with about controlling the controllables? Because
Speaker 3: I'm to your point, you're like, yeah, the weather impacted
Speaker 3: our plans and we couldn't do this, or we're snowed in,
Speaker 3: what do we do with the kids in the backyard,
Speaker 3: or you know, what do we do to keep them busy? Oh? No,
Speaker 3: the power is out. We're really in trouble. Now. How
Speaker 3: are we going to navigate these kind of things? Do
Speaker 3: you have conversations with parents or adults in general about
Speaker 3: controlling the controllables?
Speaker 5: Yeah, my wife really appreciates those conversations.
Speaker 3: Can you please control the controllables here? Fifteen minutes? Is
Speaker 3: that a controllable? What are we controlling here with?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: But everybody's running around, everybody's in the backyard dinners in
Speaker 3: fifteen but we're halfway through fifteen minutes. It's control the controllables. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I could. I could see those conversations with them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but probably not as many as we should with
Speaker 4: some parents, you know, some of them here the things
Speaker 4: that we talk about with the mentees. So hopefully it
Speaker 4: gets through a little bit, but you know, not as much.
Speaker 4: And honestly, I found John that the more we've we've
Speaker 4: done things, the more parents are not involved in the sessions.
Speaker 4: And I think that's mostly a benefit, which I'm pleased about.
Speaker 5: Even younger players.
Speaker 4: We'll work with a ten or eleven year old and
Speaker 4: parent is like, you know, get some set up in
Speaker 4: front of the screen, okay, I'll let you guys do
Speaker 4: your thing. So it's actually rare, more rare that the
Speaker 4: parent sits there and listens and is part of the conversation.
Speaker 4: Oh you just had a hat fall behind you.
Speaker 3: WHOA, no, no, no, we can't have that.
Speaker 5: Yeah on the left side.
Speaker 3: Oh there it is, Okay, I'll pick it up on
Speaker 3: the shows over.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, not as many conversations as we
Speaker 4: probably could and should with the adults.
Speaker 3: So, I mean, I get the idea of having an adult,
Speaker 3: you know, let the kid you know, have the session
Speaker 3: with you and the parent, thinking that it's about on
Speaker 3: the field stuff or whatever. You know, it's like mentoring
Speaker 3: and that, and it's only part of the equation. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to have you ever thought about just saying hey, okay,
Speaker 3: I need to have it. It's like, you're cool this week,
Speaker 3: I want to talk to your parents, or having separate
Speaker 3: mentoring sessions, but not necessarily call it that I want
Speaker 3: to mentor a parent. No. I mean, but have you
Speaker 3: thought about having separate conversations just as the sides with
Speaker 3: parents or anything like that, just kind of pull them
Speaker 3: off and sit there and go okay, hey, here's what's
Speaker 3: going on. Here's what I think I'm seeing from you.
Speaker 3: Tell me if I'm wrong kind of a thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good shout, John, because I don't think
Speaker 4: that we do that enough. I think every now and then,
Speaker 4: and it's usually only if it's something big or if
Speaker 4: the parent asks, you know, in an email or something, hey,
Speaker 4: what's going on?
Speaker 5: How's it going type thing?
Speaker 4: But we probably should honestly do it more often.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: I guess it's a time factor and it's a we
Speaker 4: don't want to use up a session. You know that
Speaker 4: could be with the kid with the parent, but we
Speaker 4: need to figure that out.
Speaker 5: That's a good show because I do.
Speaker 4: Think that we could provide more information back to the
Speaker 4: parents so that they're getting it as well. It can
Speaker 4: stay on top of some of the things that we we.
Speaker 5: Do at the airport.
Speaker 4: At the airport, I just was reading what Barbote, what
Speaker 4: we do in the sessions.
Speaker 3: You had sessions at the airport. Yeah, I mean, well,
Speaker 3: well but you but to your point, and I wasn't
Speaker 3: even necessarily thinking like during session time in general, because
Speaker 3: there are parents and we've had these talks in the past,
Speaker 3: you and Greg and I have had these talks where
Speaker 3: the parent is adding to the issues and not contributing
Speaker 3: to the solutions. And that's kind of where I was like, well,
Speaker 3: how do you how do you pull a parent aside,
Speaker 3: be diplomatic about it and have them and have them
Speaker 3: understand Okay, I'm seeing this from the outside. I'd like
Speaker 3: for you to look at this from the inside and
Speaker 3: see if we together can help move everything forward into
Speaker 3: a positive and then try not to sound like a
Speaker 3: jerk about it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I did have one interaction with the family recently, and
Speaker 4: because the dad wrote an email saying like, oh, I
Speaker 4: sent you these videos and son said, you guys didn't
Speaker 4: watch him.
Speaker 5: Well, the dad had prefaced it that the kid didn't
Speaker 5: play well. I watched some of the videos. The kid
Speaker 5: didn't play terrible, we didn't play great.
Speaker 4: So we talked about some of it a little bit,
Speaker 4: and I didn't feel like it was necessary to, like,
Speaker 4: you know, show them all the bad clips and you know,
Speaker 4: go from that, especially when we're dealing with confidence issues. Yeah,
Speaker 4: to which the dad wasn't thrilled about and let me
Speaker 4: know about it. So, yeah, I had a email exchange
Speaker 4: with him, letting him know about Hey, this is how
Speaker 4: I work and this is what I see and uh,
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't say the kid was asking. The
Speaker 4: kid asked me, yeah, what video? What game were you
Speaker 4: talking about? And the mom from the background was like,
Speaker 4: the game you sucked in?
Speaker 5: Wow, So wo geez, poor kid.
Speaker 4: The kid laughed so well that obviously talked about it,
Speaker 4: and that's defense.
Speaker 3: I think that's a defense mechanism, or at least it
Speaker 3: was for me in the past when someone, you know,
Speaker 3: when your parent, yeah, am on you a little bit,
Speaker 3: you laughed to laugh it off as a bit of
Speaker 3: a defense mechanism. But that's got a sting man.
Speaker 4: So I definitely wasn't going to show the video after
Speaker 4: that and talk about it and kind of pound it in.
Speaker 4: So we talked about it, you know, just in general,
Speaker 4: when you're playing well, when you're not playing well, and
Speaker 4: things like that. So yeah, that's definitely a situation where
Speaker 4: it's like, Okay, you know, there's there's things going on
Speaker 4: here that you know, hopefully can change in the broader
Speaker 4: picture and not just with the athlete.
Speaker 3: Another couple of minutes there with Michael Parker is that MF.
Speaker 3: Parkers on the two hundred and eighty character app at
Speaker 3: bg Mentoring, Beyond Goals Mintoring, and Beyond Goalsminnering dot Com
Speaker 3: where they're getting into video and they're doing all kinds
Speaker 3: of different things here as we get into twenty twenty five,
Speaker 3: and I'm looking forward to seeing how things continue to
Speaker 3: evolve as how old is How old is BGM now? Three?
Speaker 5: Yeah? It's over three? Ok? Yeah too.
Speaker 4: We started two and a half years, okay, two and
Speaker 4: a half years, and we got we got a brand
Speaker 4: new challenge coming out maybe today, maybe.
Speaker 5: Tomorrow, I don't even know, it might be today.
Speaker 4: So we were talking about, you know, goals for the
Speaker 4: new year and resolutions and things, and then that's hard
Speaker 4: seventy five thing became really popular online enough.
Speaker 5: You're aware of it. But it's a challenge. Basically.
Speaker 4: We've got different categories, and you know, within each category
Speaker 4: you need to like drink a certain amount and get
Speaker 4: a certain amount of cet. You need to do Yeah,
Speaker 4: good luck on that. I'd fail work out for X
Speaker 4: amount of time whatever. So we're putting together one for
Speaker 4: youth athletes where it's like, okay, here are some different
Speaker 4: categories and here's some options within each category, so you
Speaker 4: make the challenge about you, right, do you drink zero
Speaker 4: water right now? And your goals to literally drink one
Speaker 4: glass of water each day? Or are you pretty good
Speaker 4: with hydration and you want to drink you know, half
Speaker 4: your body weight announces, which I guess is what you're
Speaker 4: supposed to do.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: So we've got different little categories and selections within each one,
Speaker 4: and it's it's just something to do for thirty days,
Speaker 4: so that we that we are setting a small little
Speaker 4: goal a challenge each week that hey, can we do it?
Speaker 4: Can you do it together? And so something for them
Speaker 4: to hopefully challenge themselves with, push themselves a little bit
Speaker 4: and just get used to having a small goal that
Speaker 4: we feel like, Okay, we're getting better each week.
Speaker 3: So basically, what you're telling me is that I'm supposed
Speaker 3: to drink somewhere in the neighborhood of three leaders of
Speaker 3: water a day.
Speaker 5: That's what science says, John, not me.
Speaker 3: You know, just I mean, hey, just checking, man, you
Speaker 3: just like half half your body weight, you know, half
Speaker 3: your bodyweight announces. And so I'm sitting here going, okay,
Speaker 3: this morning, I wait in at this So that means, damn,
Speaker 3: that's a lot of water.
Speaker 4: I know, That's what I think too, because I'm like,
Speaker 4: how many ounces just grab just grab like the big
Speaker 4: two leader at the wild Wire or something, and just
Speaker 4: bring it to the house.
Speaker 3: Uh, Bart, I think the reason that Cap wasn't at
Speaker 3: the airport last night because he's in Columbus, Ohio. That
Speaker 3: might be a little counterintuitive unless you know it has
Speaker 3: a private jet, unless you're unless you're a PJ flyer
Speaker 3: and you just hop into the airport, that'd be nice
Speaker 3: and hop on a PJ and come down to see
Speaker 3: somebody signing things at Hartsfield. So obviously, my guess is
Speaker 3: you were probably invited to the the housewarming party when
Speaker 3: they get settled here in town. I know that there's
Speaker 3: a thing at three o'clock this afternoon, and it's going
Speaker 3: to be in a press conference setting. Are you gonna
Speaker 3: PJ fly down for that at three o'clock? You're going
Speaker 3: to welcoming back. We're in your jersey.
Speaker 4: No PJ in for me. The only PJ and I'm
Speaker 4: doing is.
Speaker 5: The clothing smart man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that starts early on a Friday around here. We
Speaker 4: call it par curs sweatpant time. And you know on
Speaker 4: a Friday that's definitely around actually we're speaking to a
Speaker 4: high school Greg and I later today at three thirty
Speaker 4: I think, so PJ Time is going to start a
Speaker 4: little bit later.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well, as always, my friend, it's a
Speaker 3: great decay up with you. Find out the latest about
Speaker 3: what's going on beyond goals entering and the Friday free
Speaker 3: kick and the signing of some dude that that you've
Speaker 3: got his jersey and you you you, but you kit
Speaker 3: leaked and you signed you got to you got him,
Speaker 3: got to get him to sign the jersey.
Speaker 5: Now I'm going to give it away soon.
Speaker 3: Breaking news.
Speaker 4: I'm going to give that away here probably nice Yeah,
Speaker 4: within the next week or two.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we'll figure that out. As always, my friend,
Speaker 3: great to see you, and uh, just be safe, have
Speaker 3: fun and enjoy the U the the p p J
Speaker 3: T Parker's PJ Time after the minute later this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Be good, my friend. We'll see us soon. All right,
Speaker 3: There goes Parking and uh, you know cap cap ain't
Speaker 3: messed around. Speaking of caps, actually, let me fix before
Speaker 3: we get into Ammanue Latte lot, let me find out
Speaker 3: what the hell happened here? Uh was it two of you?
Speaker 3: It was Gerondine Bordeaux. Yeah, my my Bordeaux hats fell
Speaker 3: remember when we were Yeah, and they go right there,
Speaker 3: and that's not going to happen until after the show
Speaker 3: is over. So two boards fell. We got to fix that,
Speaker 3: all right. Our number two and uh, as always, thanks
Speaker 3: for dropping by. We're gonna give a bit of a
Speaker 3: preview with Birmingham as we go here later in our
Speaker 3: number two. But let's get into the Emmanuel Latte Loth deal,
Speaker 3: and I mean that both figuratively and literally, where we're
Speaker 3: talking about everything going on involving the transfers. Now Ricky
Speaker 3: mentioned it in the uh in the twitch pitch early
Speaker 3: this morning. Actually tell you what I can we say,
Speaker 3: hid everybody first before we get into the news, and
Speaker 3: we'll find out what's going on with uh with everybody
Speaker 3: this morning. Okay, So morning Derek, morning, Ricky, Morning, Emilia,
Speaker 3: Ricky fan base is crazy. I love it, no doubt,
Speaker 3: Morning Abby, morning four card, and thank you for reminding
Speaker 3: me about updating the dates and things. Uh, yeah, we'll
Speaker 3: get into Burgh. It would definitely we'll get into Burah
Speaker 3: fore Card Ricky mentioning cabral west Ham allegedly we'll get
Speaker 3: into that. Michael is like, are we bidding against ourselves
Speaker 3: in this ELLL deal? I think we kind of stood
Speaker 3: firm at the number, and it's I think that you're
Speaker 3: bidding against the agent. Like I said, we'll get into
Speaker 3: the details of this and we'll walk down each lane
Speaker 3: of traffic here coming up in a bit. But I
Speaker 3: think that four card is on it. I think it
Speaker 3: is keeping an eye on the agent, and so we'll
Speaker 3: walk through all of that stuff. So Morning, Alex Nicky
Speaker 3: presser is at three and it is in the press
Speaker 3: conference room, so I don't know. There definitely would not
Speaker 3: be any room for anybody to go, you know, you know,
Speaker 3: and go and be in the stands or anything like that.
Speaker 3: So it's not on the field. It's in the one
Speaker 3: of the press conference rooms. So let's see morning four card. Yeah, Greg,
Speaker 3: alluding to last week when he was with us, it
Speaker 3: might be other dudes coming back. Ricky needs more hints
Speaker 3: and mentioned youd let's see, uh yeah, you know, Patrick
Speaker 3: Parky's post did break the internet is a Jersey leak
Speaker 3: that he didn't know was a Jersey leak. But he's
Speaker 3: got people will yes, Emilio, morning to y'all. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: more stuff about the Agent and morning bart Abbey, I
Speaker 3: don't know why Mountain Dew's not on the list and Ropes.
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I just kind of have it here
Speaker 3: to have it here, you know, it's just kind of
Speaker 3: like here is a part of the It's like a
Speaker 3: set prop at time. So okay, morning to everybody, and
Speaker 3: thanks for dropping in as you always do. Uh now,
Speaker 3: so here's your updates on your things. Now. Ricky had
Speaker 3: mentioned Arthur Cabral, and right now it looks like and
Speaker 3: like I said, here's what the reports are saying. It
Speaker 3: looks like Cabral. And this is multiple, this is multiple
Speaker 3: folks networks in Portugal and newspapers. Cabral looks like he
Speaker 3: is linked to west Ham at eighteen plus two. Looks
Speaker 3: like it's eighteen plus two according to Record in Portugal,
Speaker 3: and they're one of the newspapers. And they've got four
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty one thousand followers on the two hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty character app if you want to look at
Speaker 3: it that way. So you're looking at eighteen plus two
Speaker 3: for Cabral. A lac Lee has gone another direction. They
Speaker 3: went to Glenn Kamara. So Kamara out heading one direction
Speaker 3: and so the pivot. Now you have the rumor with
Speaker 3: the Cabral in West Ham at eighteen plus two. So
Speaker 3: mirror and everybody is sitting there and staring and go on, Okay,
Speaker 3: that's what the that's what you're looking at. So the
Speaker 3: mirror is saying fifteen plus two plus add ons and
Speaker 3: you have others looking at eighteen plus two. Olie Watkins
Speaker 3: has told you Ni Emory he wants to stay at
Speaker 3: Asston Villa forty million bid. Emory, fresh from offloading Jean
Speaker 3: Dern from al Noos for seventy seven and a half
Speaker 3: million pounds, has confirmed that Emory is not coming united
Speaker 3: looking at Giovanni Kenda. We've talked about him and our
Speaker 3: conversations that we've had involving our buddy Nino Torres and
Speaker 3: the Portuguese League and Rubert Amerim and everybody. So you're
Speaker 3: looking at eighteen plus two or fifteen plus add ons
Speaker 3: right now, depending on who you're talking about. By the way,
Speaker 3: Jiago Almada has a new head coach, it's Palo Fonseca.
Speaker 3: That was announced this morning as well. So depending on
Speaker 3: what you're looking at, eighteen plus two and a lot
Speaker 3: of folks are going back to the report from Record
Speaker 3: in the Record newspaper in Portugal eighteen plus two. Some
Speaker 3: folks are saying fifteen so Cabral, and once again remember
Speaker 3: what our budding Nino Torres said about Cabral yesterday that
Speaker 3: he ain't too keen on him. But the number for
Speaker 3: Cabral to west Ham is anywhere from fifteen plus to
Speaker 3: eighteen plus two. So that's what you're looking at with Cabral.
Speaker 3: So Ricky being the intrepid producer, Emil Asid wasting no
Speaker 3: time going to Cuyaba in Brazil, so that's out there
Speaker 3: as well. This morning the Emial Aside sweepstakes, so the
Speaker 3: meal Aside to Cuyaba this morning. But so right now
Speaker 3: through December of twenty six, so it looks like it's
Speaker 3: a year and a half deal for Assad now with
Speaker 3: everything that we have talked about involving Cabral and Emmanuel Lattels,
Speaker 3: here is where we are morning, Badger, no movement, but
Speaker 3: that's where we are. That's where we are right now.
Speaker 3: Your timing is impeccable. There are reports out there and
Speaker 3: they're all over the place. I have seen anything from
Speaker 3: twenty plus two to twenty plus eight. That's what I'm
Speaker 3: saying twenty plus two to twenty plus eight. The twenty
Speaker 3: plus eight one to me is an outlier, and it
Speaker 3: is someone who has followers who is tied to someone
Speaker 3: who has a lot more followers, if that makes any sense.
Speaker 3: The number that we've been looking at is eighteen plus two.
Speaker 3: So let's look at the Let's look at the characters
Speaker 3: here in the play and kind of look at things.
Speaker 3: So let's start off with our friend at tees Side Live.
Speaker 3: We'll start with our friends at Tea Sidelve and our
Speaker 3: buddy Craig Johns who Pop who wrote an op ed
Speaker 3: for our friends at the Gazette. Craig's been very very busy.
Speaker 3: Headline Emmanuel latte Lots sale is a risk Middlesbrough simply
Speaker 3: have to take. With Striker close to exit. Craig is
Speaker 3: the Middlesbrough beat writer for tees Side Live. Here's what
Speaker 3: Craig wrote this morning and it was an op ed
Speaker 3: for those of you that missed it. Emmanuel and I'm
Speaker 3: gonna paraphrase and dip through some sentences. Latte Lot appears
Speaker 3: on the verge of a Middlesbrough exit on Thursday and
Speaker 3: agreement was finally reached with MLS side Atlanta and I
Speaker 3: died for the sale of Buristar Striker, having already completed
Speaker 3: his medical there aren't any expected hiccups to stop the
Speaker 3: transfer now taking place. A twenty two and a half
Speaker 3: million pounds sale represents a record fee received for Burrough,
Speaker 3: what they got for a Domitrio Ray to Wolves seize
Speaker 3: the club, turn over a huge profit on the ivory
Speaker 3: and who was bought for a little over four million
Speaker 3: pounds just eighteen months ago. John's continues make no mistake,
Speaker 3: though It's a risk, a big one, you might say,
Speaker 3: giving them what's potentially at stakes, selling your top score
Speaker 3: mid season while locked in an intense battle to reach
Speaker 3: the playoffs for a shot at promotion to the Premier League.
Speaker 3: With twenty nine goal since his arrival from Atalanta, replacing
Speaker 3: Latte Lost is not going to be easy, but quite
Speaker 3: simply though, it's a risk that Burrow simply have to take. Ultimately,
Speaker 3: that's the model, and that is dictated by the cruel
Speaker 3: financial landscape that is the Championship. Signing players like Latte Loss,
Speaker 3: developing them into better players to make profit is ultimately
Speaker 3: part of the plan to get Burrough's finances back on
Speaker 3: track and he mentions Brentford and Brighton. At the start
Speaker 3: of the month John's continues, Burrough released their financial accounts
Speaker 3: which covered the period through last season. They highlighted the
Speaker 3: importance of player trading and the fact that money brought
Speaker 3: in on players' sales will be invested back into the squad.
Speaker 3: The club made an overall operating loss of over twelve
Speaker 3: million pounds over the year long period, over a million
Speaker 3: pounds a month. Let that sink in The accounts showed
Speaker 3: the club made nineteen million pounds on player sales, and
Speaker 3: despite projected losses and the fact that Steve Gibson put
Speaker 3: in a further thirteen million pounds to ensure the deficit
Speaker 3: wasn't even bigger, then they spent eighteen million pounds on
Speaker 3: buying players. Within that eighteen was the money they spent
Speaker 3: on bringing Latte Lot to the club. Fast forward to
Speaker 3: this season. Such financial information won't be available until next year,
Speaker 3: but what we can safely predict is that without this
Speaker 3: Latte lost sale, Burrow were highly in the red. Without
Speaker 3: any major sales in the summer, they continued investment in
Speaker 3: the squad with big purchases such as Aiden Morrison, Tommy
Speaker 3: Conway this month, as well as bringing Ryan Giles back
Speaker 3: on loan, adding Mark Travers until the end of the season,
Speaker 3: turning George Edmondson's loan into a permanent switch. They've also
Speaker 3: splashed in initial five million pounds on signing Morgan Whittaker.
Speaker 3: It's not complicated maths to work out that a twenty
Speaker 3: two and a half million pound offer just cannot be
Speaker 3: turned down. MLS is an ever growing league. He's about
Speaker 3: during life changing money which he cannot be begrudged for.
Speaker 3: To his credit, throughout the whole SAGI, he's never wants
Speaker 3: down tools or not given us everything for the borough cause.
Speaker 3: Alas at his age and with recent achievements in MLS,
Speaker 3: move feels underwhelming to say the least. Disagree Craig Jones.
Speaker 3: That's ultimately not Burrough's concern, though their focus quickly turns
Speaker 3: on an adequate replacement. Without one, Burrough's massive investment in
Speaker 3: their squad could be for nothing in the short term
Speaker 3: at least. Okay, So that is what Johns wrote this
Speaker 3: morning for The Gazette and tees sidelve. So because of this,
Speaker 3: I would say that Middlesbrough wants the sale knowing their
Speaker 3: finances or lack thereof, Middlesbrough wants this sale to go through.
Speaker 3: When you've got twenty two and a half million pounds
Speaker 3: staring you in the face and you have the operating
Speaker 3: deficit and challenges that Middlesbrough have, Middlesbrough's gonna sit there
Speaker 3: and go bruh sign we love you butt morning, Harry.
Speaker 3: So in this I would say that Middlesbrough is not
Speaker 3: the issue. Middlesbrough sees twenty two and a half million
Speaker 3: slid across the table by Craig Henderson and Garth Logerway,
Speaker 3: they're like, ooh, this could really help us out. Atlanta
Speaker 3: looks at Emmanuel Latte Loth. They've got a figure that
Speaker 3: they've kind of stuck to eighteen plus two, you know,
Speaker 3: twenty two twenty to twenty two and a half. That's
Speaker 3: the range that we've seen euros to pounds and things
Speaker 3: like that. And once again, you know, Atlanta United is
Speaker 3: not just in this one lane of traffic. We don't
Speaker 3: know what, we don't know, but the European window only
Speaker 3: has four days left. The Saudi window actually closes today
Speaker 3: just for reference sake, So four days left in this
Speaker 3: window expect everything to be chaotic over the weekend. Keep
Speaker 3: an eye on who plays and who doesn't. Atlanta United
Speaker 3: has sat there and said, hey, look when they've stood
Speaker 3: fast with that number eighteen plus two reported on this
Speaker 3: side of the Atlantic. You know eighteen plus two, you
Speaker 3: know twenty two and a half, we're all right in there.
Speaker 3: So if Atlanta United, while they're trying to look at
Speaker 3: other folks, and they might have to look at other
Speaker 3: folks quickly, if they're not already scouting other folks because
Speaker 3: of the issues that have been going on, and you
Speaker 3: could tell they've been looking at because they've been linked
Speaker 3: with other players. But they may have to boogey on
Speaker 3: a deal in the European market over the next four
Speaker 3: days with everyone that they're looking at and Emmanuel Latte
Speaker 3: Love they've got a boogie on all of these things.
Speaker 3: And keep an eye on over the next four days.
Speaker 3: I imagine that over the next four days, Chris Henderson,
Speaker 3: Garth Lockerway, and the front office that at Lanty United
Speaker 3: are not going to be getting a whole lot of
Speaker 3: sleep this afternoon. Do not be surprised if video comes
Speaker 3: out of this press conference and you see a lot
Speaker 3: of dark circles under the eyes of Craig Henderson and
Speaker 3: Garth Lockerway and anybody from the front office. So that
Speaker 3: lends us to the agent. And this is where I
Speaker 3: am leaning in this discussion about the issue in getting
Speaker 3: this over the finish line. For whatever reason, our friends
Speaker 3: at MP MP Management, they don't think that's enough. They
Speaker 3: don't then this would have to be a conversation had
Speaker 3: with a particular with a particular agent attached to a
Speaker 3: particular a particular player. What's the issue here, what's the problem.
Speaker 3: So the agent hanging out for a Premier League deal,
Speaker 3: you know, bruh, what's going on? And if you look
Speaker 3: at his you literally, if you look at the agent's instagram,
Speaker 3: he's in Italy. Everything and everything that we have seen
Speaker 3: news wise involving Emmanuel Lattels has been coming from Italian
Speaker 3: sources to start off with, from Italian million sources. So
Speaker 3: it's just it's been looking looking at this, looking at
Speaker 3: this agent. And now you have fans who are attached
Speaker 3: to Middlesbrough who are looking at Mattias ven Rosso at
Speaker 3: MP and it's like, bruh, what's going on? So I'm
Speaker 3: leaning toward the agency here being the issue. I know
Speaker 3: that we have seen reports about Latte life and his
Speaker 3: interest in you know, generational money and all these kinds
Speaker 3: of things, all these separate things we've talked about. I
Speaker 3: don't think it's the player. It's definitely not the club.
Speaker 3: And Atlanta United has been at the table kind of
Speaker 3: sitting and going all right here. It's so I'm leaning
Speaker 3: toward the agency being the issue. We have a club
Speaker 3: that needs the money and they've invested, and they've had dudes,
Speaker 3: you know, come in and throw more money into the
Speaker 3: issues in the Championship. Like I said, at Landa Knight
Speaker 3: has been at the table. That's one lane. They're interested.
Speaker 3: Middlesbrough needs the money. Middlesbroough sees twenty two and a
Speaker 3: half million or twenty to twenty two and a half million.
Speaker 3: They're like, ooh, after investing four to get him from Atlanta,
Speaker 3: that's a big turn on investment. Player seemingly interested. That's
Speaker 3: lane three. So that leaves the agency. That leaves MP
Speaker 3: Management as the folks who are the agency for Manuel
Speaker 3: Latte La that are quickly having patients lost from everybody
Speaker 3: and anybody attached to Middlesbrough. So and Michael mentions the
Speaker 3: agent works for the player. Agent needs to get this
Speaker 3: done and convince. And if it is lane five where
Speaker 3: the agent works for the player, I mean this has
Speaker 3: been a meteoric rise in fee for Emmanuel la Telt.
Speaker 3: Like I said, we have mentioned before and we'll mention again.
Speaker 3: MP management has two players of market value according to
Speaker 3: transfermarked that are above one million pounds or one million euro.
Speaker 3: One is Nicola Savona, a twenty one year old right
Speaker 3: back who plays for Youve. The other is Emmanuel latae
Speaker 3: lat because of his time at at Atalanta moved to Middlesbrough.
Speaker 3: So so you're you're looking at all of these things
Speaker 3: that have been pieced together in all of these different
Speaker 3: lanes of traffic. Something is holding this up. Something is
Speaker 3: holding this up, something someone what have you. So that's
Speaker 3: what you're staring at with all of these things. So
Speaker 3: all these different lanes of traffic. I figured I would
Speaker 3: present the evidence, but like I said, my I'm leaning
Speaker 3: toward the agency here trying to get that Premier League deal.
Speaker 3: Why Middlesbrough would not be interested in selling considering their
Speaker 3: financial situation is beyond me. That has been that has
Speaker 3: been out There is an idea, but trying to get
Speaker 3: that Premier League deal for your client, and you're not
Speaker 3: even in England to do it. You're you're in Italy.
Speaker 3: Your client is in England, playing in England, and you
Speaker 3: are in Italy supposedly taking offers and listening to folks.
Speaker 3: So that's where we are in all of this. A
Speaker 3: couple of days left, so we'll see where we are.
Speaker 3: But I think at three o'clock this afternoon and beyond
Speaker 3: you look at Chris Henderson, you look at Garth loger Way,
Speaker 3: and you'll see a lot of circles under their eyes. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Micky's yeah, and Michael and Michael to your point. Yes,
Speaker 3: So Michael's point, Miggy has an agent. Miggy wanted to
Speaker 3: come to Atlanta United. Micky's here. And it was also
Speaker 3: a situation where Newcastle was like, go find a home,
Speaker 3: and so it's like if you find a home, al
Speaker 3: Maron's like in Atlanta is interested? Okay, So Newcastle has
Speaker 3: Miguel Almroon on the outs call online one Atlanta United. Hey,
Speaker 3: Miggy would you like to come back? Okay? Yeah, sure,
Speaker 3: we'll figure it out. You're not seeing any of that, Yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll figure it out From mp and Middlesbrough trying to
Speaker 3: figure something out. I'm sure Middlesbrough. I'm sure Middlesbrough wants
Speaker 3: a deal done. But we have seen reports that have
Speaker 3: been off the rails. Today at twenty plus eight I
Speaker 3: have never seen in my life and almost fifty percent
Speaker 3: add on for anything anything. So Michael Kerrick within the
Speaker 3: last half hour has had his press conference quoting him
Speaker 3: getting ready. Emmanuel Latte Loth came off injured last week.
Speaker 3: We're seeing how quickly he's going to be fit. Until
Speaker 3: there's anything to report, we'll work with the players and
Speaker 3: prepare for the next game. There's always a plan surrounding
Speaker 3: the balance of the squad. A lot of work goes
Speaker 3: on behind the scenes to come out of the transfer
Speaker 3: window in a good place. That's Michael Carrick as of
Speaker 3: about twenty five minutes ago. So that's what you're staring at,
Speaker 3: involving Emmanuel Latte lot So keep an eye on all
Speaker 3: of this, Like I said, keep an eye on all
Speaker 3: of this, all right. That's where we are anyway, Okay,
Speaker 3: So eighteen plus two, eighteen plus seven, that's all over
Speaker 3: the place and spinning plates. Let me see what Northern
Speaker 3: Echo has to say really quickly dominic Shaw. Two hours ago,
Speaker 3: Latte Lot set to complete his twenty two and a
Speaker 3: half million pound move to Atlanta United, signing a striker
Speaker 3: of the obvious priority. Ro's recruitment team are calm and confident.
Speaker 3: Three to four potential targets still very much alive. Strelitch
Speaker 3: was the one from a slow and Broadislava I think
Speaker 3: was the one that was linked Burrow having carried out
Speaker 3: extensive groundwork reports of the weekend. Strelitch has been keen
Speaker 3: on the move. Cameron Archer not on their radar from Leeds,
Speaker 3: so Northern Echo is leaning into the twenty two and
Speaker 3: a half million pound deal. Twenty two and a half
Speaker 3: million seems to be the number, but the weird one
Speaker 3: when you said twenty plus eight. So Burrow says yes,
Speaker 3: and this is so Burrow says yes. The player and
Speaker 3: the agent, you know, is it a situation where the
Speaker 3: player and the agent are sad that it's not a
Speaker 3: move to the prem considering you're coming from Syria to
Speaker 3: the Championship now, is it? Latte Lots saying yes, and
Speaker 3: the agent wanting more of a piece of the check
Speaker 3: since it's not the Premier League. And we try to
Speaker 3: figure out what the options are going forward. But I
Speaker 3: saw this morning Luca Bendoni was the one that was
Speaker 3: the one that was off the rails. So Luca Bendoni,
Speaker 3: who has ties to the Janluca de Marcio plan, had
Speaker 3: seventeen million fixed eight million in add on late lot
Speaker 3: yet to approve the transfer parties waiting for his decision.
Speaker 3: Ten percent of borrow capital gains from this deal go
Speaker 3: to at Atalanta. So and this goes from Tommy Scoops
Speaker 3: and Nysark Kinsella. But literally, I have never seen I
Speaker 3: have never seen a contract offer that had basically fifty
Speaker 3: percent markup on add ons. I've never seen that before.
Speaker 3: So the Bendoni report, and that's what I'll use. I'll
Speaker 3: use it as a report. So look a Bendoni reporting
Speaker 3: seventeen plus eight in pounds. Like I said, I've never
Speaker 3: seen twenty five and eight of it being add ons.
Speaker 3: I've never seen that before. So keeping your eye on
Speaker 3: twenty to twenty two and a half. This twenty five
Speaker 3: with eight million add ons from Bendoni is out there
Speaker 3: off to the edges of the Bell curve. So hold
Speaker 3: that kind of like we do. The three in the
Speaker 3: four letter paper. So that's what you're looking at At
Speaker 3: the moment. I'm still leaning into the the agent, the
Speaker 3: agent that is trying to do things from Italy with
Speaker 3: a player who used to play in Italy who's now
Speaker 3: playing in England in the Championship. So anyway, like I said,
Speaker 3: that's me, That's what I'm That's what i'm That's what
Speaker 3: I'm thinking here. Keep an eye on the age in
Speaker 3: all of those. But the agent is as detached as
Speaker 3: you could be one end of Europe to the other,
Speaker 3: doesn't seem I mean, yes, I know we can do
Speaker 3: things electronically, and I know we can do things a
Speaker 3: bunch of different ways these days. But the fact that
Speaker 3: he's not in England with his client trying to get
Speaker 3: things done. Who knows. But this would be the home
Speaker 3: run shot for MP, considering that the twenty eight other
Speaker 3: clients have a value of twenty three million euro when
Speaker 3: it comes to MP management. So all right, Atlanta United Birmingham,
Speaker 3: let me start here. Yeah, the agency and is gonna
Speaker 3: end up shooting themselves in the foot. Like I said,
Speaker 3: two players above one million euro in value. One of
Speaker 3: them is Emmanuel Latte Lot the others are right back
Speaker 3: at Uvean. Well, no, I mean a lot of cash
Speaker 3: for someone basically currently on the IR Like I said,
Speaker 3: we don't know the seriousness of the injury, but he
Speaker 3: had his medical done apparently overseas, and well, like I said,
Speaker 3: we don't know the seriousness of the injury, but you
Speaker 3: would also if it Landa United were concerned, they would
Speaker 3: have pulled out and you would know it. They would
Speaker 3: have pulled out of this deal. I think if it
Speaker 3: land United were concerned, then they would have pulled out.
Speaker 3: Remember that while Middlesbrough is in season at Landa United
Speaker 3: still has another couple of weeks. So even if there
Speaker 3: was a concern about treating Latte Lot, if he were
Speaker 3: to come in treat him lightly on the side, he's
Speaker 3: still got a couple of weeks. If it's not a concern,
Speaker 3: it's not a concern, and we would know that it's
Speaker 3: a concern by no longer being interested in the deal.
Speaker 3: Once again, you've got until February third. Big Ben goes
Speaker 3: at midnight local time February third. Everything's over, So there's
Speaker 3: going to be a rush this weekend. We'll get into
Speaker 3: all the news and notes and who's moved and who's
Speaker 3: looking at as we go now that Land United Birmingham.
Speaker 3: I want to know what's on your mind when it
Speaker 3: comes to this match other than everybody healthy. There was
Speaker 3: a conversation that was had among Jason, Maddie and myself
Speaker 3: self after the match in Chattanooga, and Jason asked what
Speaker 3: he was looking for. He asked me and Maddie what
Speaker 3: we were looking for coming forward for this matchup in Birmingham.
Speaker 3: And this is the adjustment that I have to make
Speaker 3: to make sure that you guys can hear it is
Speaker 3: that I have to move my head set so I
Speaker 3: don't blow out my own ears. So here is the conversation.
Speaker 3: Jason asked, Okay, what are you looking forward to? What
Speaker 3: are you anticipating? What would you like to see with
Speaker 3: the matchup in Birmingham for at Land United Birmingham Legion.
Speaker 3: Here is that conversation that we had courtesy of the
Speaker 3: full Time Report off the Woodwork podcast at ninety two
Speaker 3: nine in the game of the post game show after
Speaker 3: the matchup in Chattanooga. So here's what we were anticipating,
Speaker 3: what we'd like to see coming up tomorrow.
Speaker 7: I asked Mike, I'll ask you guys and we'll start
Speaker 7: with you, John, What do you want to see.
Speaker 5: Be better next week?
Speaker 7: One thing that you want to see improved from right
Speaker 7: now to Birmingham next Saturday.
Speaker 3: Not as much backpassing, not being afraid to engage in
Speaker 3: the play and go forward, because it seemed like there
Speaker 3: were times where Okay, I think we need to preserve possession,
Speaker 3: so I'm going to pass it backward and go all
Speaker 3: the way all the way back to brad At times
Speaker 3: we saw that as a part of an outlet to
Speaker 3: preserve possession. Go ahead and go ahead and go forward
Speaker 3: and see what you can do when it comes to
Speaker 3: what you're trying to learn with this system from Ronnie Dallas.
Speaker 3: So for me, it's advancing play and moving forward instead
Speaker 3: of going for that back pass and necessarily being and
Speaker 3: I'm going to go ahead and use air quotes, being
Speaker 3: safe with your activity.
Speaker 7: That's the step forward and what we were talking about
Speaker 7: with build up from doing the drill and getting the
Speaker 7: understanding to executing it and getting out of your defensive half,
Speaker 7: out of the build up phase into getting forward.
Speaker 5: Maddie, what about you?
Speaker 8: I think mine would be kind of pigging back off
Speaker 8: of that, but to me it would be. I felt
Speaker 8: like there were a couple of moments, especially in the place,
Speaker 8: just getting closer to goal, getting into the box and
Speaker 8: trying to get a shot. It almost felt like it
Speaker 8: was too many touches, almost like it was and you
Speaker 8: see the opportunity, you take it and see what happens.
Speaker 3: You want you want folks to be a little more unselfish,
Speaker 3: a little bit more selfish.
Speaker 8: I would agree there were a couple of moments where
Speaker 8: you know, Luke Brennan had a great opportunity but instead
Speaker 8: took a couple extra steps to then try the cross in.
Speaker 8: But I felt like he had a good opportunity to
Speaker 8: maybe just bring it inside and maybe trying a shot himself.
Speaker 8: I thought there were a couple of moments. But I
Speaker 8: mean to me as well, I think it's about building
Speaker 8: a little bit more of that trust. And I think
Speaker 8: that's something that they talked about this week, especially on
Speaker 8: Tuesday and Thursday. I think you're seeing the blueprints of it.
Speaker 8: You see a lot of those combinations that we did
Speaker 8: see and how the trust is there. I mean you
Speaker 8: see it too. With a lot of the guys from
Speaker 8: the twos, they play together a lot, they already have
Speaker 8: that trust. They have that bond there a lot of
Speaker 8: guys from the first team they've played together a little bit,
Speaker 8: Cleish and Jay they've played together all season long, so
Speaker 8: they have that connection. I think it's now just about
Speaker 8: building on top of that and getting a little bit
Speaker 8: more of that trust from everyone around you, and being
Speaker 8: comfortable and trying to connect and not being afraid to
Speaker 8: maybe take it yourself, maybe picking out a couple opportunities
Speaker 8: where hey, you know what, maybe the right opportunities for
Speaker 8: me to pass it up to Saba on the right
Speaker 8: and then we go. It's I think picking your moments
Speaker 8: and then also knowing when I need to step back
Speaker 8: and be like, hey, I need to make this extra
Speaker 8: pass to go. I felt like it was a little
Speaker 8: bit of inconsistent sometimes and a little bit of like
Speaker 8: almost trying to do a little too much to try
Speaker 8: a pass that.
Speaker 3: This is what happens when you're trying to do multiple things.
Speaker 3: So Jared, that was post game with Atlanta United and
Speaker 3: Chattanooga with me and Maddy and Jason about what we
Speaker 3: want to see in Birmingham. But let me go back.
Speaker 3: We've been kind of breaking down each lane of traffic
Speaker 3: involving Lte Lot and Landa United Middlesbrough. We went over
Speaker 3: Middlesbrough's finances, win the op ed piece from Craig John's
Speaker 3: This Morning over at the Gazette. Then it's Agent Latte
Speaker 3: Lot and anybody else that they're chasing after knowing it.
Speaker 3: Land United is over in lane five at the same
Speaker 3: time that they're in lanes one through four. Where are
Speaker 3: you right now when it comes to trying to get
Speaker 3: this particular striker, this particular individual and get this line,
Speaker 3: this over the line to have this pickup for the
Speaker 3: five stripes here with Emmanuel Lattels, Where are you mentally
Speaker 3: get it done? Damn it, get it.
Speaker 6: Done or find something else?
Speaker 3: Oh so you're an issue? Get off the pot mode?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's dragged on for so long and
Speaker 6: it feels like, yeah, man, it just feels like it
Speaker 6: feels like it being dragged out intentionally by possibly multiple parties.
Speaker 6: You know, you're you're waiting, you will You're you're like
Speaker 6: you're waiting for everything to come to fruition in terms
Speaker 6: of other offers coming in, which sounds like west Ham
Speaker 6: will be one of them because apparently they're on cabral
Speaker 6: So everything is just connected in its own little weird way,
Speaker 6: but like no one else is really making a move
Speaker 6: right now, and maybe they run this up to the
Speaker 6: eleventh hour. They're trying to get as much money as
Speaker 6: possibly can out of it. I don't know he I
Speaker 6: guess my thinking on this personally is that he's still
Speaker 6: twenty six years old.
Speaker 3: I think a lot a lot. Let me check, I
Speaker 3: think he's twenty seven. But yeah, that multipart.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so maybe he goes like this is his shot
Speaker 6: to make it to the top flight in a top
Speaker 6: five league, and that if it doesn't hit, then it
Speaker 6: doesn't hit. The problem is now, if you don't hit
Speaker 6: on this.
Speaker 3: You're right January first, ninety nine, so turned twenty. You
Speaker 3: just turned twenty six, turned twenty six.
Speaker 6: The thing is, man, like, if you miss on this, like,
Speaker 6: let's say they don't get this deal done for whatever reason,
Speaker 6: it falls apart and you don't do anything. Man, it's ye,
Speaker 6: especially with the injury.
Speaker 3: He just picked up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like, there's no guarantee you're gonna get, no guarantee
Speaker 6: you're gonna hit that number again. And especially imagine a
Speaker 6: Middlesbrough doesn't get.
Speaker 3: Promoted, right, they brought people in MM hmm.
Speaker 6: If they don't take this money, it feels like it's risky,
Speaker 6: like to turn down. I know, the last report was
Speaker 6: like eighteen million pounds. The totals have fluctuated and then
Speaker 6: some people This is the inconsistency of the world because
Speaker 6: some people report the total and some people report the
Speaker 6: total guaranteed and then the escalators and incentives separately. This is
Speaker 6: a similar issue. We have every support here. I mean,
Speaker 6: we had this with in the NFL at the time
Speaker 6: that it was worth four hundred million, like, well, yes
Speaker 6: it was. If he hits every single possible thing. Like
Speaker 6: the Kirk Cousins deal, it was really easy to.
Speaker 3: Delineate what was what.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it was really easy to It's really easy
Speaker 6: to to like screw around with it, you know. So
Speaker 6: I'm trying to get the way to put the system.
Speaker 6: It's really easy to screw around with the numbers and
Speaker 6: to make them say whatever you want them to say.
Speaker 6: It's kind of the livest damn lives.
Speaker 5: Kind of thing.
Speaker 6: I just I want the deal gone. That's where I'm at.
Speaker 3: With it the end. Yeah. So, coming in to.
Speaker 6: Bart's question, No, I liked t A as a backup player,
Speaker 6: A big fan of Jamal Tira. Jamal Tierra has not
Speaker 6: shown me that he can stay healthy, yep, and stay
Speaker 6: on the field.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like.
Speaker 6: Could not. That's not even trying to be mean man.
Speaker 3: That is no, that's none. That's the number.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has not shown you that he can stay
Speaker 6: on the field, and that is not a reliable player
Speaker 6: when he is out there. Can he ratchet goals? Absolutely?
Speaker 6: He cannot stay on the field right now.
Speaker 3: And you you're looking at that particular position right now
Speaker 3: as Jamal Tagashi son and the nine that you're trying
Speaker 3: to chase, and if you have Maggie, if so, if
Speaker 3: you have say Maggie, you're nine that you're chasing and
Speaker 3: Saba and you know that Saba and Miggie are going
Speaker 3: to do their thing and they're just gonna like float
Speaker 3: and go free or what have you. In theory, then
Speaker 3: you've got your midfield of click Slish, Fortune, midn Chuk
Speaker 3: and whomever else wants to dive into that pile, and
Speaker 3: your back line of of Hawkeye and uh Derek Williams
Speaker 3: and Noah Cobb and Epha Morales fighting for minutes, Matthew
Speaker 3: Edwards fighting for minutes, UH Stean Gregorson and Ronald Hernandez.
Speaker 3: I mean you look at that attack, that nine. You
Speaker 3: get that nine in place, and you're going to be
Speaker 3: the anticipation is that there's going to be a lot
Speaker 3: of goals scored with that front, at that front seven
Speaker 3: at the very least.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. I guess my thing is is this continues
Speaker 6: to drag on, Like why have you got Maga across
Speaker 6: the line? At least came into your port last night?
Speaker 6: Did the whole thing You've been negotiating with them? Though
Speaker 6: you didn't pull the plug on this right, you didn't
Speaker 6: pull the plug on Cabral, So somewhere along the line
Speaker 6: you must have believed that you can get one of
Speaker 6: these deals across the line. Something has led you to
Speaker 6: believe that this is doable. If it doesn't get done,
Speaker 6: I look forward to finding out where it broke down.
Speaker 6: Was it the agent, was it the player? It sounds
Speaker 6: like it wasn't Middlesbrough because I up until this week,
Speaker 6: I would have thought Middlesbrough could have sat on it
Speaker 6: to try and rash up interest. But now like as
Speaker 6: of this weekly, especially the second half of this week,
Speaker 6: they can't afford to wait. No windows closing.
Speaker 3: Four days four days with the European window.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then MLS kicks open yep. Still really dumb
Speaker 6: to me, Like, I don't know why we don't shame
Speaker 6: the MLS window. Well, I don't know why our window technically, uh,
Speaker 6: our window doesn't sync up better, just because it puts
Speaker 6: some of the European clubs in a weird spot, and
Speaker 6: an understandably weird spot where they're like, I don't want
Speaker 6: to sell because now I can't after the third I
Speaker 6: can't bring anyone in right. Middlesbrough up until this week,
Speaker 6: you would have made sense for them to sit on
Speaker 6: it to try and get a Premier League team or
Speaker 6: three involved, but it doesn't look like that's happening. So
Speaker 6: they got to if if they're gonna sell, if they
Speaker 6: think he's gonna go, they got to move now. But
Speaker 6: if he and the agent sit on it, everyone might
Speaker 6: get screwed because if they sit on it long enough
Speaker 6: like Middlesbrough and they take it, Middlesbrough is not gonna
Speaker 6: have time to go get somebody right or negotiate. They'
Speaker 6: gonna have to overpay for they want, which they'll have
Speaker 6: a bunch of money.
Speaker 3: So that's nice. Yeah, Well, but that bunch of money
Speaker 3: may not be a bunch of money considering they're running
Speaker 3: at a deficit and they've had folks to invest to
Speaker 3: try to keep things a float. That twenty two and
Speaker 3: a half will go a long way. I just wonder
Speaker 3: what you know they're looking at strelitch from slav and Roslava.
Speaker 3: I just wonder what the number is there?
Speaker 6: I want you wonder if I tell them like a standby,
Speaker 6: like hey, when this moves, that moves, these two were
Speaker 6: connected kind of thing. But yeah, man, it's it's gonna
Speaker 6: be weird, you know, like because because it also could
Speaker 6: could could hinge on the player and the agent trying
Speaker 6: to get more money or thinking we can all like
Speaker 6: we're gonna go to the prem that's that's what we're
Speaker 6: going to do. And that kind of level of called
Speaker 6: the spade of spade. It's, you know, it's kind of
Speaker 6: a little bit of humorous there of like infirmly believing
Speaker 6: in yourself that you can be that guy to get
Speaker 6: up to that flight. But if no one comes calm
Speaker 6: for you, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 6: Also, what happens if you know, you struggle coming back
Speaker 6: from this injury and you don't produce. What if you
Speaker 6: don't see twenty million again on the offer, So there's
Speaker 6: a lot for Atlanta, like Atlanta through their eggs in
Speaker 6: this basket. Still don't know happened with Kyogo and Celtic.
Speaker 6: That one's still very weird.
Speaker 3: I know you're still looking at that one.
Speaker 6: I'm still looking at that one because he went to
Speaker 6: Rend with the aston Villa game in hand for Celtic,
Speaker 6: like he apparently something about.
Speaker 5: That was like.
Speaker 6: They didn't overpay that much to get him immediately, Like
Speaker 6: I'm surprised he didn't stay for the last Champions League
Speaker 6: game for Celtic because that Celtic Aston Villa game had
Speaker 6: waight to it for everybody. Something. I'm guessing something weird
Speaker 6: happened there. It feels weird, But you threw a lot
Speaker 6: of eggs in this basket and you threw your weight
Speaker 6: behind trying to get this cross the line. If it
Speaker 6: doesn't happen, both clubs and the player might be in
Speaker 6: a weird situation coming up. Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we are. We are joined in the Friday
Speaker 3: free for all by Bart Keeler, who's all right, we'll speak. No,
Speaker 3: it's not there, it's not well. But no, we had
Speaker 3: we had issues last time with Bart, and so it's
Speaker 3: I don't know what's up with Bart and his Uh,
Speaker 3: Bart may just have to I don't know, dude, I
Speaker 3: don't know what's going on. Last time Bart was here,
Speaker 3: he literally in his studio setting like he is now,
Speaker 3: was not able to talk and I don't know why.
Speaker 3: And so literally, well I heard something. It's like you're like,
Speaker 3: you're switching. I know what we're gonna have to do.
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to take Bart and like do something offline,
Speaker 3: like when we're off the air. We're gonna have to
Speaker 3: figure out, Okay, Bart, what the troubleshooting is because I
Speaker 3: can't we can't hear you all of your conversations that
Speaker 3: you've been having on the YouTube, off the YouTube and
Speaker 3: the twitters. I can't hear you nothing.
Speaker 6: While he figures that out. To Michael's point, what if
Speaker 6: he comes here and struggles to injuries happened with a
Speaker 6: lot of guys. You're betting on productivity, Like Gigi didn't
Speaker 6: have the kind of injuries that he had before he
Speaker 6: got here, and then they started popping up and you
Speaker 6: were like getting those muscle injuries where it was like
Speaker 6: he could go seventy five eighty minutes and then he
Speaker 6: was like something was something was kind of sideways with
Speaker 6: a tendon or a muscle or something another like here,
Speaker 6: it's always a risk with every player, like every player
Speaker 6: could develop those injuries. You want one, you want a
Speaker 6: more recent or not more recent I should say an
Speaker 6: older reference, but one that hits close to home for people.
Speaker 6: Go look up the transfer marked game log for Tito
Speaker 6: vi Jadva.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, when.
Speaker 6: He left Atlanta, when he was healthy, he produced. He
Speaker 6: was not very healthy, and it was little injuries. It
Speaker 6: was muscle polls. It was like those kind of things
Speaker 6: that you're like, oh, that's gonna be reoccurring. And then
Speaker 6: he finally got healthy and towards a CEO. No, I
Speaker 6: think he's going to Penyroll.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that broke yesterday.
Speaker 6: Yesterday, I think so he was gonna go to Tom
Speaker 6: Lorenzo back where he came from originally before he came
Speaker 6: to Atlanta, but something fell through and he's going to Penyroll.
Speaker 6: But some guys like will be healthy and then they
Speaker 6: will just hit a weird part, whether it's you know, age,
Speaker 6: or whether it's just bad luck, whether something weird happens,
Speaker 6: and injuries.
Speaker 3: Just hit m free agent one year deal, Paeni Roll
Speaker 3: and he's supposed to sign it today.
Speaker 6: Like sometimes injuries just hit. It's weird, it's it's hard
Speaker 6: to protect. So Derek sounds like the a player wants
Speaker 6: to smoop, the agent's holding things up, situation, the player
Speaker 6: down the age on the end of night. Maybe we
Speaker 6: don't know, like it's going to be interesting watching how
Speaker 6: it unfolds because you're getting reports from give Me Sport,
Speaker 6: you're getting reports from I don't I don't know if
Speaker 6: they're fan blogs out of England, out of Millsborough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why traditionally I'll try and go to what
Speaker 3: Craig John's is saying out of the Gazelle. It's a baseline.
Speaker 6: You're getting a lot of cross talk about who is who,
Speaker 6: who's the onus?
Speaker 3: On is done? Yeah, and that's the key now. And
Speaker 3: Michael to your point, Michael's not a fan of fighting
Speaker 3: a sign and an injured player, So I mean I
Speaker 3: get it. Yeah, I get that too.
Speaker 6: And and I think I think some of that frustration,
Speaker 6: if you're Atlanta, was if we could have just gotten
Speaker 6: this done when we wanted to get it done, he
Speaker 6: wouldn't have played in that game. Yeah, you would have
Speaker 6: had him on the plane here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Michael Carrick has been one to sit there
Speaker 3: and say, you know, player wants to play and I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna I'm not gonna say no because he wants
Speaker 3: to be here and fight for a promotion. Round two?
Speaker 3: What's going on? Bart? Is this better? Yes? I think
Speaker 3: I figured out the problem? John, what me? Let me
Speaker 3: let me tell you this. No, it's not It's not
Speaker 3: you or me.
Speaker 9: Oh, it is the corporate world refusing to allow me
Speaker 9: to use the microphone on my computer something.
Speaker 3: So are you using you're using the business computer with
Speaker 3: the studio setting? And well but I mean when you
Speaker 3: were when you were trying initially, yes, okay, yeah, so
Speaker 3: studio setting linked to your corporate overlords and they're like
Speaker 3: not today, fam yea, so I think okay? So yeah,
Speaker 3: uh it is. It is a bit of a Friday
Speaker 3: free for all. And I know that you are corporate busy,
Speaker 3: but so what what is on your mind here with
Speaker 3: twenty minutes to go here in the show? What what
Speaker 3: lane of traffic did you want to get into this morning?
Speaker 3: Crystal done? We haven't talked about her.
Speaker 9: Talk about strikers, Well, could we should talk about Crystal
Speaker 9: dun uh an Janet Icelanger both getting moves over to
Speaker 9: uh well Jeneta and island off the coast of Europe.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Crustal done official to PSG.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: But I was, you know, we were talking when you
Speaker 3: have to strikers, and.
Speaker 9: I just had an overwhelming sense of things, anxiety about
Speaker 9: if they were going to be healthier, if they're minky
Speaker 9: toe is gonna somehow become disconnected?
Speaker 3: So right, but Crystal dun picture, I don't understand this.
Speaker 9: I'll be honest, Okay, Uh getting to the PSG for
Speaker 9: something a couple to almost on hundred thousand I think
Speaker 9: was the final number. Were from Gotham, you know, I
Speaker 9: think you get it from like you want to keep playing.
Speaker 9: I don't know PSG, but would be where I want
Speaker 9: to just continue my career. I ending out of country
Speaker 9: for the next three four years. But uh, this is
Speaker 9: another examplan saying all along, John, we have talent in
Speaker 9: this country.
Speaker 3: We have talent.
Speaker 9: Women's soccer in this country is not short on talent.
Speaker 9: The women's national team not short on talent, and a
Speaker 9: lot of your European teams understood that for a while,
Speaker 9: but for some reason there just seemed to be some
Speaker 9: sort of blockade. But now that they're willing to spend
Speaker 9: just a tiny bit of money, John, they're able to
Speaker 9: bring in players like this. And you know, I think
Speaker 9: for Crystal and Jenna, they're kind of on opposite ends.
Speaker 3: Of it their career.
Speaker 9: Jenna needed, I don't know if you needed to move
Speaker 9: from Gotham, although Gotham seems to be a place that
Speaker 9: no one wants to be right now. And I think
Speaker 9: she saw Arsenal slash. The WSL is a great chance
Speaker 9: to play in a league that I think fits her
Speaker 9: skill set a little bit better.
Speaker 3: She's not.
Speaker 9: She's not big, she's a tiny little thing. So maybe
Speaker 9: going to the WSL she can play the league. It's
Speaker 9: a little more conducive to her skill set than the NWSL.
Speaker 9: But with with Crystal don I'm still good for her.
Speaker 9: Hopefully she's getting that back. I know there's probably some
Speaker 9: sort of family decision making going on there move to Paris,
Speaker 9: but PS you could clut to be at that's positive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say this, what are you doing? When
Speaker 3: we are off the air? Let me ask you that
Speaker 3: are you doing more business e things. Do you know yet? Sure? Well,
Speaker 3: because I also want to. I also want to. I
Speaker 3: want to troubleshoot your corporate I want to troubleshoot your
Speaker 3: corporate overlord problem. That's that's why I'm asking so separate,
Speaker 3: separate thing. Oh then yeah, let's figure that out off there.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so off ye uh so yes, I know
Speaker 3: that the uh the Crystal Dune. You have the Crystal
Speaker 3: Dune transfer of the Jenna and I Swanger transfer. You've
Speaker 3: got other transfers inside the WSL. You have the the
Speaker 3: one point one attached and Naimi Gearma let me let
Speaker 3: me ask you this, And I was gonna ask you
Speaker 3: this on Monday, and we could probably expand on it
Speaker 3: a little more on Monday.
Speaker 9: Every well, not everyone but Pierre sure to get into Onday. John,
Speaker 9: Yeah that too.
Speaker 3: But when it comes to and I know, Alex, yes,
Speaker 3: I'm in trouble shoot that. Yeah, I know. It's like
Speaker 3: that's a good idea. There is a train of thought
Speaker 3: that these egresses outside of the NWSL are going to
Speaker 3: present an issue for the NWSL when it comes to
Speaker 3: them and their talent pool and their league. All of
Speaker 3: this American talent going overseas. We don't necessarily have these
Speaker 3: discussions when it comes to the men's national team. Oh wow,
Speaker 3: the men's national team as players going overseas and they're
Speaker 3: playing overseas. But when the women's national team does it,
Speaker 3: all the wusl Oh my god, the world's on fire,
Speaker 3: and it obviously is an indictment on the NWSL. How
Speaker 3: when when it comes to what you've been hearing, how
Speaker 3: much of that have you heard? Versus Nah, fam, this
Speaker 3: is really good for the NWSL. When you have these
Speaker 3: players who are here and they're women's national team players
Speaker 3: and they're going to Europe, it's a good thing. How
Speaker 3: much have you heard it's a good thing versus, Oh
Speaker 3: my god, the world's on fire. Where the NWSL is concerned,
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 9: First thing is the world is not on fire for
Speaker 9: the WSL because I think when you look at the movie,
Speaker 9: it's this TRANSFERMENTO specifically and a couple from last last year. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's not a huge exit. So that's the first thing.
Speaker 9: That's all you got, you know, half the league leaving.
Speaker 9: You also have it's procedy. You have a lot of
Speaker 9: players from Europe or or other nations's coming to NWSL.
Speaker 9: The real issue is what I'm seeing and here ring
Speaker 9: and this is kind of the fear with a salary
Speaker 9: cap to the.
Speaker 3: League which has the most.
Speaker 9: Talent available and is in the best women's soccer co country,
Speaker 9: is that you're going to run up against the fact
Speaker 9: that because NWSL has some transfer spending caps just like
Speaker 9: we do in MLS, right, we have not ANNWSL. And
Speaker 9: so specifically, when you're looking at Crystal dun going for
Speaker 9: what was the number one point five ish basically is
Speaker 9: what it comes down to do that the question is, yeah,
Speaker 9: one hundred and forty thousand, sorry, one hundred and twy thousand, Yeah,
Speaker 9: is that a number that an NWSL team wants to
Speaker 9: spend to get her from Gotham. Now, I think Crystal
Speaker 9: Dunal is a very good player. I think everyone does.
Speaker 9: She has threaty too, So that's just where we're gonna
Speaker 9: run into these questions and problems. In my opinion with
Speaker 9: ny of you, with out now, with with Nice Wonger,
Speaker 9: I think this is it's more of a.
Speaker 3: Personally.
Speaker 9: I think this is just you know, she want to go.
Speaker 9: I think it made sense for her to go to Arsenal,
Speaker 9: a team that maybe isn't going to use her primarily
Speaker 9: as left back for stuff, because they have a left
Speaker 9: back when the arsenal has Katy mc caabenly Fox. So yeah,
Speaker 9: particularly h yeah, we're not We're not like hurting for
Speaker 9: for us I facts. She has some history plans on
Speaker 9: other positions. But when you look at Crystal Dunn and
Speaker 9: I think probably probably this is really true for Andy Garma.
Speaker 9: Is the transfer fees that they're going to command because
Speaker 9: stem Garma's case, she's the best player that's playing soccer
Speaker 9: right now. Now that's just my opinion, but it's backed
Speaker 9: up by the fact that she's the best player who's
Speaker 9: playing soccer right now. She was not I'm gonna get
Speaker 9: that number from an NWSL team. So that's the problem, John,
Speaker 9: And it's not, oh this is all is gonna be
Speaker 9: bad as soccer? Can we have the there are how
Speaker 9: many eight Division I college programs out there? John, Well, yeah,
Speaker 9: he'll be well to find more players. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 9: it might be so obviously there's not a Gurma or
Speaker 9: Done that comes out out every single year, right, but
Speaker 9: you can find replacement, replacement level players and then go
Speaker 9: find starting level players to backfill which is lost in
Speaker 9: Germa or done from the talent available and in the US,
Speaker 9: but then also sells a lot of these clubs because
Speaker 9: of the the mechanisms are able to go get a
Speaker 9: player who might not be as expensive maybe from your
Speaker 9: own from US. Oh yeah, and so you're just not
Speaker 9: it just done pricing and end of yourself kind of
Speaker 9: has a net transfer cap is basically what it comes
Speaker 9: down to. And so if you're yeah, you're gonna you know,
Speaker 9: if you're if you're seeing Diego a team that is
Speaker 9: trying to reinvent itself after inventing itself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, mm hm.
Speaker 9: The one point one million now that you have to
Speaker 9: play with, then your net transfer is really helpful. So
Speaker 9: for for Go off of them getting on hundred and
Speaker 9: forty hundred fift whatever that is in America second dollars,
Speaker 9: that is helpful.
Speaker 3: But again, again, were you willing to pay.
Speaker 9: Crystal the money that she was gonna need to stay,
Speaker 9: because I'm sure she still demands again get a chunk
Speaker 9: of money she's willing to pay, not just transfer for you,
Speaker 9: but her salary. So it just comes down to that
Speaker 9: salary cap is eventually going to either demise then WSL.
Speaker 9: How do you think that salary cap is going to
Speaker 9: be a little bit of a problem with keeping the
Speaker 9: best best players here or getting best best players to
Speaker 9: come here again, I think if you are looking at
Speaker 9: these clubs individual actually, you know Garma leaving San Diego.
Speaker 3: This sucks for San Diego.
Speaker 9: I don't think that necessarily makes them better or worse
Speaker 9: because they were already in a bad place. Yeah, Gotham
Speaker 9: seems to be having some individual problems in that locker room.
Speaker 9: They've lost several players this offseason from the super team
Speaker 9: they built, so it's just it's not a mass exodus Johns.
Speaker 3: I'm not like, oh my.
Speaker 9: Gosh, the sky is falling, but it is gonna be
Speaker 9: a problem when you look at just the financial and
Speaker 9: eventually they're gonna have to figure out how do we
Speaker 9: adjust that after by the way they adjusted this like
Speaker 9: less off season.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely true. Latest for soccer for us PO D,
Speaker 3: what's going on.
Speaker 9: I'll have an episode to you today because I gotta
Speaker 9: finish editing out, which is what I'm gonna do on
Speaker 9: my lunch hour, and that is covering what we just
Speaker 9: saw last last went with the two from Leason and
Speaker 9: kind of again looking we did hot takes cold takes
Speaker 9: then kind of threw some water out and hot takes
Speaker 9: and gave our what we think of cold takes. Think
Speaker 9: there hot takes if you listen and you can determine that.
Speaker 9: I mean, yes, I think it's a hot take that
Speaker 9: walkersmerment isn't quite ready for us't int action again, I
Speaker 9: love them.
Speaker 3: That's a hot tape. Yeah, so that's stuff I think. Okay, so, uh,
Speaker 3: when we're over, I will text you and we will
Speaker 3: get to the bottom of your corporate overlords invading your computer.
Speaker 3: And you'll be back on Monday to talk about Denver

Speaker 3: let's run through what we know, from where we know it,
Speaker 3: and how do we know it? All right, So let's
Speaker 3: go through all the moves. By the way, the Crystal
Speaker 3: Dun transfer was a free and so she played between
Speaker 3: Chelsea seventeen and eighteen on the WSL and played in
Speaker 3: Washington Courage and Thorns. Left Gotham on Tuesday on a free.
Speaker 3: So that's the Crystal Dun departure. Now let's get into
Speaker 3: who's moving, who's moving and where they're moving too, and
Speaker 3: we'll go domestically first. Laurel Faylor had a report about
Speaker 3: signings for FC Cincinnati Hilberta flores You twenty two player
Speaker 3: on contract through twenty seven options for twenty eight and
Speaker 3: twenty nine. Pat Brennan at the Cincinnati Inquirer says that
Speaker 3: the fee paid was two million, but Laurel failure reporting
Speaker 3: on that as well this morning. So looking at things domestically,
Speaker 3: the Armstrong move to West Brom did happen, so Vancouver
Speaker 3: to West Brom. Also, Jovan Miyadovich is joining Luvin on
Speaker 3: loan until the summer from NYCFC so club record signing,
Speaker 3: and it looks like he is heading on loan to
Speaker 3: Leuvin until the summer, so cf you want to keep
Speaker 3: him pushing for a loan with no purchase. They are
Speaker 3: still high on his talent. According to Tommy Scoops, All
Speaker 3: Caps got a bid from FC Copenhagen for Roman Burkey.
Speaker 3: According to other published reports and those including farzum A
Speaker 3: Ballasaini and bid was rejected final year of his deal.
Speaker 3: Is where Burkie is right now with All Caps so
Speaker 3: Burkey being chased by f C Copenhagen, No was the
Speaker 3: answer currently. Also, well, let's see if there's anything else
Speaker 3: that has happened this morning. Once again, we talked about
Speaker 3: Jeendurn yesterday. The transfer fee now for Chicago Fire full
Speaker 3: value thirty point seven million dollars thirty point seven million dollars,
Speaker 3: so that is big for them. And obviously we're going
Speaker 3: to be keeping an eye on Emmanuel ltte Lot and

Speaker 3: with our challenges. One of them is All Watkins. He's
Speaker 3: happy to stay here. We ask him how he's feeling
Speaker 3: every day and year, and he is happy here. He
Speaker 3: is being pursued for a great deal of money. Arnest
Speaker 3: Slutt mentioned on most of the law's future. Everybody wants him,
Speaker 3: including us. We want him to extend. That is clear.
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised sawd he want him, but I wouldn't
Speaker 3: be surprised if other countries want him as well. And
Speaker 3: that's just the quick quote. Ipswich confirmed Wes Burns suffered
Speaker 3: a torn acl against Liverpool. He's out for the rest
Speaker 3: of the season. That's a big loss for Kieren McKenna
Speaker 3: as they are trying to stave off relegation. Barcelona confirmed
Speaker 3: Govi has signed a new deal keeping him at the
Speaker 3: club until twenty thirty. A one billion euro release clause

Speaker 3: we're gonna put down a one billion dollar release clause.
Speaker 3: I mean, is it just me or is that just
Speaker 3: damn ridiculous? I mean, I mean literally, that's just damn
Speaker 3: ridiculous just saying, you know, like I said, it's a
Speaker 3: billion dollar release clause, just because that's like, that's like
Speaker 3: me saying, Okay. Literally, it's like if I owned a club, Hey,
Speaker 3: you want to sell your club, you really do, but
Speaker 3: you don't. You can if the number is right, you
Speaker 3: can sit there and say, yeah, I'll sell my club.
Speaker 3: It's like if I owned Nelson FC. The only thing
Speaker 3: missing is Ted Dibiassi coming into the room. Everybody's got
Speaker 3: a price, haha. And he's got the money belt, you know,
Speaker 3: he comes out and he opens his jacket and he's
Speaker 3: got the water and wat of hundreds. You know, everybody's

Speaker 3: Chelsea's monitoring west Ham is pushing everybody's interested. All exit
Speaker 3: options are on the table for Ferguson as long as
Speaker 3: Brighton's evaluation is met. Yeah, just the road, just seriously,

Speaker 3: just a second. Ricky and all of his intrepid producing
Speaker 3: had a thought about the match. And so it's like,
Speaker 3: what's the thought about the match? And I think I
Speaker 3: probably just rocketed past it in the timeline. I wish
Speaker 3: I could. I wish there was a function where you
Speaker 3: could sit there and go, you know, somebody said something
Speaker 3: and you could do a search. Saint Deal's here we go,
Speaker 3: Sat Deal's chattanoo. Young player development, maybe a little cleaner play.
Speaker 3: And that was why I played the element from the
Speaker 3: full time report with me and Maddie and Jason. I
Speaker 3: want to see more forward play, more forward engagement. Be
Speaker 3: confident in what in who you are as a player,
Speaker 3: Be confident in the system, and be confident in what
Speaker 3: they're looking for from you as a player. You want
Speaker 3: to keep possession, and I know that Ronnie Dila wants.
Speaker 3: Ronnie Dila said I got bored at times. Don't play
Speaker 3: as much backward, go forward, go after it. You know
Speaker 3: those kinds of thing. I want to see that kind
Speaker 3: of development and as if hey, if there's a shot,
Speaker 3: take it. But my biggest thing not as much backward,
Speaker 3: continue working forward when it comes to the offense. Miguel
Speaker 3: Almeron once again being introduced. Three o'clock press conference setting,
