We've got draws that came up 9 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.200 in both Europa League and in champions Like. We'll get 10 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.200 into that. We'll get into somebody who came by the 11 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:26.799 airport last night here in SDHHD and came back and 12 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.480 there were folks that were welcoming somebody back to Atlanta. 13 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.079 If you were there, let me know what the vibe 14 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.959 was like. Saw the vibe from our buddy Justin Felder 15 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.799 at Fox five Morning Ricky and Morning Derek.

Okay, 27 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.840 now Abby's made it to Florida in the new abstomobile. 28 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.560 Thank you, Thank you, Ricky, thank you for card. Good morning. 29 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:36.400 All right, so if you were there, let me know 30 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.560 what the vibe was like. We got to talk about 31 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.840 what's going on at Middlesbrough. We gotta talk because there's 32 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:50.560 obviously there's some stuff and we got to sort through it. 33 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.439 But yeah, there's we got to talk about some stuff. 34 00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.879 So we'll talk about Latte Loth mainly, we'll talk about 35 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:07.560 the money, and we'll get into what is being said reported. 36 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.719 It's not news. What's being reported on the two hundred 37 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.439 and eighty character app and it's all over the place. 38 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.280 Money's all over the place, numbers are all well four card. 39 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.039 I'm going to get into that. Like I said, I 40 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.919 want to. I want to get into I don't think 41 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.840 it's borough, but this is going to be and this 42 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.960 is going to be a bit of a lengthy deal, 43 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.439 so it might end up being in hour two, so 44 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.159 we can go down the rabbit hole a little bit. 45 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:40.280 But there are updates. Ricky has mentioned Cabral, allegedly reports 46 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.560 tying him to west Ham and Graham Potter seems to 47 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.039 be all keen on it. Remember what ever, Buddy Toddaus 48 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:51.800 said yesterday. If you didn't, if you want a part 49 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.400 of that conversation, go back, go listen to it on 50 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.479 our platforms, on all of our audio platforms. And in 51 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.759 the show starting at about the fifty five minute mark 52 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.680 was when Nino's segment was yesterday when we went fully loaded. 53 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:11.919 So Nino ain't all that keen on Arthur Cabral. I 54 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:16.959 don't think it's burah, I you know, and I don't 55 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.480 know Michael. If we are bidding against ourselves and I 56 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.399 think four Card is onto it. I think four Card 57 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.240 is onto it here. So four Card is looking at 58 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.519 our friends at MP Management Agent, trying to kill the 59 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:40.959 vibes and take more money. That's where I'm leaning in 60 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.800 all of this. Like I said, we'll take all the 61 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.959 pieces because it's gonna take a bit of a build. 62 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.839 And so we'll walk through Middlesbrough and we'll walk through 63 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.160 the numbers, we'll walk through the bit with the agent. 64 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.120 Remember we had the talk about the agent and the agency. 65 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.360 We had that discussioner in the week. We'll go back 66 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.759 over that for those you've missed it about where their 67 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.720 talent pool exists. So there's a lot to discuss about 68 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:15.759 MP and the agency and the numbers, and I want 69 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.600 to walk through it. I want to take the time. 70 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.720 I want us to walk through it. But as four 71 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.240 card has put into the twitch pitch, this is where 72 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.720 I'm leaning about the agent. But like I said, we 73 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.879 will present the evidence, we will present everything that we know, 74 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:34.519 and we'll break it all down. Like I said, I 75 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.800 think it's going to be an hour number two as 76 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.560 we get ready for it, Lanty United and Birmingham on 77 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.399 the weekend. Remember atlutd dot com slash live for the 78 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.759 kick a couple of minutes before, not on ninety two 79 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.519 nine in the game, So Atlanta in Birmingham and then 80 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.160 after that seven point thirty Eastern is the target time 81 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.920 that Maddy and I are going to run point where 82 00:05:57.959 --> 00:05:59.759 on Saturday night we're going to be at Monday night 83 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.439 and so we'll have all your post game there. We'll 84 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:05.560 have your post game thoughts. Anybody who's still in town 85 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.800 that wants to stay, we'll go over to Monday night 86 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.480 and hang out for a little bit. Tyler Pilgrim from 87 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:12.519 Scarves and Spikes is going to be there, are Buddy 88 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.600 Kaylor Hodges from the USL Show is going to be there. 89 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.079 We may have some representation from Legion hanging out with 90 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.519 us as well to find out what it's going to 91 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.120 be like there in their USL season coming up in 92 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:26.199 short order. So if you're in Birmingham a it'll be 93 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:31.279 great to see it b Saturday night, at Monday night, 94 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.959 Monday night browing, you can. Scott Flood and the Flood 95 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.279 Project have done some great work in getting everything orchestrated 96 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:42.399 in trying to make the experience in Birmingham a really 97 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.680 cool one. And so you're not just driving over for 98 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.399 a game and then you're driving back. So it's drive 99 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.360 over for a game, maybe hang out for a little bit, 100 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.120 hang out with us at Monday night brewing in downtown 101 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.120 and then make your way back, or spend the night 102 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:57.920 in Birmingham and have a good time. I guess my 103 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:02.560 plan is that it's probably going to be depending on 104 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.920 how long of a night it is at at Monday night, 105 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.079 Monday night brewing in cafe. I may go to Rojo 106 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.079 and pick up some tat shows and take them back 107 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:19.160 to the hotel. It's kind of like it's kind of 108 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.240 like when you go to waffle House and you get 109 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.480 the order of hash browns and you can get scattered, 110 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.120 mothered covered chunks and top. You can kind of do 111 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.040 the same thing involving Rojo and their hash browns and 112 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.959 literally you can have a meal of the hash browns 113 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.560 that's attached. So I think it's four thirty eastern Abbey, 114 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:38.920 hang on just a second, let me. I want to 115 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.279 double check it. No, that's not what I did trying 116 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.000 to open up windows and things like this. It's like, no, 117 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:52.000 that's not what I'm trying to do. So schedule, we 118 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.720 hit schedule. I just want to double check. So it 119 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:55.920 might be a couple of minutes before four to thirty 120 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.240 eastern time that Atland United and Birmingham Legion and go 121 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.000 at it, and it's at protective. It's not like on 122 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.279 any goofy campus or anything like that. It is four 123 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:12.759 thirty Eastern time. Kick four thirty Eastern timekickatl utd dot com, 124 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:16.040 slash Live, Mike and Jason are there.

We'll get your post game, have that posted, 129 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.160 probably do something again to a full time report with 130 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.720 the cast of thousands that's gonna be there. So set 131 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.879 your notifications and set your stuff, and however you notify 132 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.240 yourself that things are coming up on networks and audio 133 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.480 and video and all that kind of stuff. So once 134 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:45.480 again four thirty kick on Saturday atlut d dot com 135 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.799 slash Live. A couple of minutes beforehand, Mike and Jason 136 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.879 will be there, will be there, and then you can 137 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.759 go to Monday night and hang out with us on 138 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.679 a Saturday night. So there you go, all right. Then 139 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.120 after that they go to IMG for a while and 140 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.559 they're gonna be there for ten days, playing New England 141 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.200 on the eighth, so next Saturday on the eighth, and 142 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.799 then s C Cincinnati on the twelfth, coming back to 143 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.080 Atlanta on the fifteenth, and they play in a closed 144 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.080 door match against FC Dallas that one I believe is 145 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.799 going to be on atl U t D dot com 146 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.159 slash Live. I think it's on ninety two nine in 147 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.440 the game, and that one will be on the fifteenth 148 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:25.120 closed door session between FC Dallas and Atlanta United. So 149 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:29.399 that's the rundown, so yesh at O U t D 150 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.440 dot com slash Live and ninety two nine in the 151 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.000 games broadcasting Chattanooga on radio. So at O U t 152 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.879 D dot Com slash Live with Chattanooga, Birmingham in Dallas. 153 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:45.159 Keep your notifications up involving the other matches, UH, with 154 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.480 Cincinnati and New England if they're going to be on 155 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.200 the dot comlas slash Live. So dot Com slash Live 156 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.240 has the three of the five Chattanooga, Birmingham, Dallas, and 157 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.080 just keep your notifications up for everything else, all right, 158 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:04.320 So the Orlando scrimmage was added? Where was that added? 159 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.519 Hang on? Yeah, because that was I think that was 160 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.240 Where was the Orlando scrimmage? Hang on? Just a second, Uh, 161 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:19.519 Orlando City, Atlanta United And I'm trying to type and 162 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.480 Wednesday the fifth, So Wednesday the fifth at a time 163 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.679 that is TBD, So Wednesday the fifth is where that 164 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.799 one is? So Orlando is uh, Orlando's on the fifth, 165 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.679 Revs Are on the eighth, Cincinnati's on the twelfth. There 166 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:42.519 you go, So five eight, twelve. Third one that got 167 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.240 added in is Orlando. So once again, don't know the 168 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.320 broadcast plans if they exist for that one, and we'll 169 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.600 keep an eye on all of that stuff for the 170 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.600 three matches that are in Central Florida at IMG after 171 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.600 the match this weekend in Birmingham and then they go 172 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.200 down to IMG and go and hang out in Bradenton, Florida. 173 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.600 So that's what you're staring at for Atlanta United in 174 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.159 the schedule coming up here as we get ready, because 175 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:10.639 we are twenty three days away, no, twenty two, twenty 176 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.320 two days away from the beginning of the regular season, 177 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.240 because if it's the twenty second, then it would be 178 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.639 twenty twenty two days and then you add one for today, 179 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.600 So twenty three days away from the beginning of the 180 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.720 regular season.

But yeah, 209 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.120 three o'clock is when we were told Mercedes been stadium 210 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:05.159 bells and whistles and serpentina and confetti and all that 211 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:10.080 kind of stuff. So this afternoon, the reintroduction is Miggy 212 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.919 in three o'clock. Who might be so, let brick it 213 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.440 might be five hundred us till the first Atlanta match. Yeah, 214 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.600 it might be true because we're under five hundred total. 215 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.679 So it was I think four ninety nine earlier this 216 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.639 week when we were at the training center on Tuesday, 217 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.879 So at four ninety six I think, so four ninety 218 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.759 six if my math is correct, before the first match match. 219 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.720 So that's where we are, all right. Opening kickoff brought 220 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.679 to us buy our friends at Kickoff Coffee, Kickoff coffeeco 221 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.639 dot com, and once again we'll go through all the 222 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:48.840 things that you need to know when it comes to stuff. 223 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.919 I know that that's incredibly vague, but that's just where 224 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:57.080 we are all right now. Once again, you can go 225 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.799 to our friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot 226 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:02.519 com to kick off your day.

So like 234 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.120 if you spent ten bucks, even though it would be 235 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.679 more than that, you'd be saving a dollar and a half, 236 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.919 you'd be keeping a dollar and a half spending ten dollars, 237 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.279 and then they in turn take ten percent reinvested.

So 322 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:51.200 if we get a visit coming up in short order, 323 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.440 I didn't want to start. I didn't want to start 324 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.640 a topic and then have to dump out. So like 325 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.119 I said, when we're done, if our friends at Beyond 326 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.680 goals nering join us at nine p thirty.

But as kind 343 00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.000 of a coda on opening kickoff, I don't know if 344 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:02.960 you saw this, Yesterda, I think it was yesterday, and 345 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.880 I wanted to discuss it for a new round of 346 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:08.640 stupidity down here and we have to recycle the clock. 347 00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:18.400 And it was in the a z Alkmar match and 348 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:27.440 it was it was crazy. So you had in the 349 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.799 az in the ozied Alkmaar match, and AzID Alkimore in 350 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:34.319 the past has been fined fans tried to storm an 351 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:36.319 area where west Ham fangs. You remember that in the 352 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.960 Europa Conference League. They got fined sixty eight thousand for 353 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:47.480 that one apparently in their matchup in Europa League. And 354 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:49.400 I want to get I want to get the numbers 355 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:53.960 of what happened in the matchup in odds Portal. It 356 00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:59.319 was crazy that you had rival fans dressed up as 357 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:04.000 stud words to try to get into fights. I think 358 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:06.880 legitimately this is the first time that I've seen something 359 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.920 like this. Where in ozid Alkmore they advanced they're gonna 360 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:13.839 play galatassa Ride and that's gonna be in a couple 361 00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:19.880 of weeks. But in the o zed Alkmore match, let 362 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.759 me see if I can find who was Farrence Varas 363 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:28.079 okay so ozed Alkmore and Farrence Varros. Let me see 364 00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:33.039 if I can spell ference Varros quickly, so Asy Oakmar 365 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.920 Ference Varas four to three. It was nuts. It was 366 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.839 absolutely crazy. They both make the Europa League. But it 367 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:47.519 appears that Ference Varro's fans decided to dress up like 368 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:57.240 stewards and try and get into fights Ference Varas and 369 00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:00.000 this is from our u. This is from posted reports. 370 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.680 Farence Varas Ultras disguised themselves as stewarts to fight with 371 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:09.279 the oz ed Alkmar fans security and this was in Budapest. 372 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.640 They had secure and they had security in there for 373 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:17.680 the first time in ten years. So Ference Varas stewarts 374 00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:25.519 ozid Alkmar fans. So that that's being and it was 375 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:29.200 just nuts violence. But anyway, I think we might have 376 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:34.160 hit a new level the stewards getting into the addressed 377 00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:36.279 as stewart's getting into fights with fans and the wording 378 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.400 might be a little, you know, tongue in cheek, but 379 00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:43.839 it was intriguing, nevertheless to see ozid Alkmore and Farence 380 00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:48.920 Varas getting into it. Yesterday.

Club Bruce in Atalanta, Atalanta 397 00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:47.599 favorite Fine Ordon Ac Milan Ac Milan favored a lot 398 00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:49.640 of road dogs, I mean a lot of road favorites. 399 00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:53.559 You've a at home favored against PSVA to minus one twenty. 400 00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:58.559 Manchester City actually favored it home at a plus one 401 00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:03.039 twenty nine.

Your draw is a plus two 408 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.400 fifty nine. So that is your road that you're round 409 00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:29.160 of sixteen, your next sixteen teams going up against each other, 410 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.720 and then they screwed it all up, because then from 411 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:38.559 there you've got to have another drawing and figure out, okay, 412 00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:43.960 what's your path. You get nine through twenty four figuring 413 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:48.000 it out, then they they reorganize the thing and it's like, well, 414 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.680 we don't know who you're gonna play next. Basically is 415 00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:52.720 what they're doing. We're gonna we're gonna we're gonna juggle 416 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.759 it up all over again, and then we're gonna let 417 00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:59.920 you know what it looks like. Could be Liverpool, could Bear, 418 00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:07.119 could be Leo, could be aston Villa one two seconds. 419 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.839 Look just look just do it this way, bro, look 420 00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.640 Breston PSG and it's not and it's like literally it's 421 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:22.039 the fifteen and the eighteen. It's not even the sixteen 422 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.640 and the seventeen yet because we don't know. Just just 423 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.319 line it up, absolutely, I know. And Madrid's a dog 424 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.799 yeah on the road. That's literally ricky. You look at 425 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.480 this and it's like Madrid a plus one ninety going 426 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.279 to Manchester City draws a plus two sixty three. That 427 00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.960 one's sitting right there for everybody. But they still have 428 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:50.240 to figure out who you're gonna play next breston Paris. 429 00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:54.920 You're fifteen eighteen, which really needs to be the You know, 430 00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:58.640 if it's the you need to just reseed this whole thing. 431 00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:02.640 It's like, all right, Liverpool or Barsa is gonna play 432 00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.720 Breast or pay or PSG. The seven or the eight 433 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.000 is gonna play the nine or the twenty. The five 434 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.240 or the six is gonna play the eleven versus the 435 00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.480 twenty two. It's gonna be either one or the other. 436 00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:21.559 Just line it up. Just line it up the winners 437 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:26.000 in the nine through the twenty four. You reseed it. 438 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:28.960 Lowest seed goes and plays the highest seed. It's not 439 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:35.640 that hard. It's not that hard. People. I don't know. 440 00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:38.400 Maybe I'm thinking of logic and I'll bring in our 441 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.640 next guest and and and find out about this whole 442 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:48.000 logic thing. Kap it am I being illogical, just wanting logic. 443 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:50.079 When it comes to the Champions League, it's like an 444 00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:52.720 either or you get a fit. You get fifteen of 445 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:54.880 the eighteen, and they're gonna play either the one or 446 00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:58.039 the two. It's either you're gonna eat the mashed potatoes 447 00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:00.440 or you're gonna eat the green beans. It's not like, look, 448 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.200 you're going right at the meat loaf. Am I wrong here? 449 00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:09.359 I don't know, John, I'm getting I'm getting one of 450 00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:11.920 those scanners headaches, just trying to figure out what the 451 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:13.640 Champions League is trying to figure out. 452 00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:17.960 Man, Yeah, it seems like, you know, sometimes you just 453 00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:18.880 got to keep it simple. 454 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:24.519 Just keep it simple, kiss, keep it simple, stupid exactly. 455 00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:27.440 I mean, then you go back to the basics a 456 00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:28.079 little bit here. 457 00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:31.200 This is what I'm saying, all right. So, and speaking 458 00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:34.400 of back to basics, you know, the Beatles had a 459 00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.519 lyric get back to where he once belonged, you know, 460 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.519 talking heads, same as it ever was.

And you had a 491 00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:20.319 jersey that had a name on the back of this 492 00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:24.240 particular gentleman, how long did it take you to get 493 00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:26.640 that jersey?

And so, you know, 501 00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.240 a package arrived in the mail and had a little 502 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:51.160 special gift and I thought, you know what, I should 503 00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:52.440 probably share this with the world. 504 00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:56.799 A package just showed up on your doorstep. It's like, 505 00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.640 oh wow, look at this. I think I think maybe 506 00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.359 this will this this might be cool to wear. Okay, 507 00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:06.480 so the man got the hookup is basically what happened. 508 00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:11.240 Exactly, Okay, exactly, And to be honest, Sean, I'm not 509 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:18.599 like a Jersey you know, snob. And when I put 510 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:20.920 it on, I didn't even know it was in New Jersey. 511 00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:26.279 Oh, because yeah, because it has like the it's the 512 00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:28.720 the black stripes go all the way up to the shoulder, 513 00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:31.319 the shoulder blade and everything like that. This not just 514 00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:33.119 cut off. It goes all the way up into the 515 00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:34.440 shoulder blade and the stripes this. 516 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:36.599 Year, yeah, I mean I just saw the stripes and 517 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:38.680 the name on the back and everything like that, and 518 00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:41.839 that's all I was focused on. And then I saw 519 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.039 some of the comments about saying it was a Jersey league, 520 00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:44.559 and I was like. 521 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:53.279 It is. I'm when I'm I'm the most excited to 522 00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.839 see how I mean, obviously, you know at the airport, 523 00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.200 he's literally signing every single autograph that was asked if him, 524 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.519 and that's that's normally, that's his gregarious nature. But I 525 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.920 am intrigued to see how different a player he is 526 00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:11.839 six years on. Yea, how what what the experience in 527 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.559 the Premier League has given him internally and externally. We 528 00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:17.640 know that you can still shoot him out of a 529 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:20.119 cannon and good luck catching him when he slams it 530 00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:23.640 into fifth gear. But but I'm interested in seeing how 531 00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:27.599 he has continued to evolve. I won't necessarily say mature, 532 00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:30.400 because he's still you know, running around like you know what. 533 00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:33.599 But I'm intrigued to see how thirty year old Miguel 534 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:36.279 Almeron will be here in Atlanta with the game that 535 00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:38.680 he has evolved over the last six years. 536 00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:40.039 Totally yeah, same. 537 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:42.200 You know, I think that we've all seen him play 538 00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:44.599 a little bit over in Europe and uh, you know, 539 00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.160 he looks he has looked the same as he did 540 00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:51.960 in Atlanta, you know, just rubbing and rubbing off tackles, 541 00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.880 just flying through people, running around, busy and dangerous, and. 542 00:31:57.640 --> 00:31:58.960 You know, I think that's what we expect. 543 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.559 And uh, you know, don't think anybody really quite knows 544 00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:04.480 the formation that we're going to play. And you know, 545 00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:06.480 there's a lot of a lot of pieces now to 546 00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:09.319 the team, and you've got a lot of attacking options 547 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.160 that it's going to be interesting to see how the 548 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.519 gaff forgets everybody on the field and how he lines 549 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.359 everyone up and what the responsibility is because Miguel had 550 00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.359 a lot of freedom under tap top, especially when we 551 00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:25.559 were playing in that three five to two esque. It 552 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:28.640 was like a three six to one basically where Miguel 553 00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.000 could kind of roam and do as. 554 00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:31.680 He pleased and go wherever he wanted. 555 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:36.440 And you know that suited him obviously really good defensively. 556 00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:38.440 You know, he did what he needed to do, and 557 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:41.519 so yeah, it would be interesting to see how his 558 00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:42.519 game has evolved. 559 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:44.160 And you know, does he do a little bit less 560 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.279 running and you know he used his brain a little 561 00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:46.680 bit more. 562 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.839 That's that's what tends to happen when you hit your thirties, right. 563 00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:55.799 But you know, I think on in counter attack situations 564 00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:59.119 and you know, on that turf, there's a there's nothing 565 00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:00.759 scarier than me running at you. 566 00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:02.319 So I'm excited to see that. 567 00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:04.720 Did he What was it like having him run at you? 568 00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:05.279 In practice? 569 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:10.440 A nightmare because not only it's like, oh God, how 570 00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:11.759 am I going to keep up with this guy? But 571 00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:13.839 at the same time you're like, God, I don't want 572 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.720 to follow him, follow him and hurt him. 573 00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:20.759 You know, So yeah, it was tough when it comes 574 00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:23.160 to and I want to I want to get this 575 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.279 to the mentoring aspect of things, when when you have 576 00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:31.759 someone who comes into a situation and he's the new kid, 577 00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:34.799 it doesn't matter what you know, about and what you 578 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.200 might know, what you might not know. Do you have 579 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:41.240 conversations with your with your mentees about being the new 580 00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:43.279 kid at school, about being the new kid and what 581 00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:46.960 it's like to try and integrate and be a part 582 00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:48.960 of the team while still trying to learn on the 583 00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:50.559 field what you want and be a part of the 584 00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.519 whole vibe off the field. Do you have those conversations 585 00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:54.160 with your mentees. 586 00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:58.160 Oh, definitely on both sides of it, right, Because you've 587 00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:59.640 got the players that are a part of the team 588 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.359 are welcoming in a new player, and then you've got 589 00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:05.160 the new player who's joining a new team, and so 590 00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:08.039 we talk about both of those aspects because they're both important, 591 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.719 and everyone that plays any sport for a while will 592 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:15.599 be in that situation on both ends at some point, 593 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:19.599 and you know, and only then do you realize how 594 00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.000 difficult sometimes it can be to be the new person, 595 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:26.159 depending on the environment that you're walking into and depending 596 00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:27.239 on who you are as a person. 597 00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:27.440 Right. 598 00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:29.920 It's it's for some guys, it's so easy because they're 599 00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:35.760 loud and open and so confident, and they just walk 600 00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.639 into any locker room and you feel like, Wow, this 601 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.320 guy's been here forever, you know. But then there's other 602 00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:43.000 people who are you know, much more shy and quiet, 603 00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:46.360 and you know, how do they find their way? So yeah, 604 00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:48.800 we absolutely do. And to those types of you know, 605 00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:50.880 to the first type, it's pretty easy, right, we have 606 00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:51.440 to have to. 607 00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.760 Tell them like, hey, you know, know your role. 608 00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:56.840 You know, don't go stepping on anybody's toes in the 609 00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:59.360 first couple of days, even though you want to play 610 00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:00.000 with that confidence. 611 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:00.760 But it's more of. 612 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:03.360 The other players of like, okay, how can you find 613 00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:06.039 one player or two players that you can you can 614 00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:09.400 bond with and get to know and then slowly integrate 615 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:11.920 yourself more into the team, not feeling like you have 616 00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.920 to be best friends with everyone on the team on 617 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.800 day one, because that's that's daunting and it's challenging, you know. 618 00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:20.480 And then on the reverse side, right, how can you 619 00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.960 be a welcoming teammate because it makes a huge difference. 620 00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:24.519 It makes a huge difference. 621 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:28.639 And you know, if you've got the confidence that you're 622 00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:31.599 going to be able to keep your place in the 623 00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:33.880 team and that this new player isn't going to kick 624 00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:35.719 you out of the starting lineup or anything, there's no 625 00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:38.519 reason why you shouldn't be welcoming to a new player. 626 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.639 But then for the for the player who's coming into 627 00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:45.960 the situation, you don't want them to overcorrect. You don't 628 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.320 want them to lose what got them into that situation 629 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:53.679 that they're stepping into, because I would imagine at times 630 00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:57.079 there are there is the player who's coming in, it's like, yeah, 631 00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:59.639 I want to make the right first impression. I want 632 00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:01.599 to be the player, but at the same time, I 633 00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:04.000 don't want to step on any toes, and you know, 634 00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:06.599 I don't want to upset the chemistry that's already here. 635 00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:08.880 So I would anticipate that that's a that that's a 636 00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:12.440 delicate balance and trying to figure out figure out your plays, 637 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:17.280 not not mess up what's there, and continued development. It's 638 00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:18.920 like three things working at the same time. 639 00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:21.599 Yeah, And to that, I would say, don't worry about 640 00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:23.679 stepping on toes out on the field. 641 00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:27.000 Right. You go out on the field and you do. 642 00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:30.159 Everything that's got you this opportunity and got you there, 643 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:33.400 and you don't worry about anything else other than going 644 00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:35.719 out there and being you and playing as best as 645 00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:37.519 you can and as hard as you can and working 646 00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:38.280 as hard as you can. 647 00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:39.280 Right, it's more. 648 00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:43.199 Off the field of like, you know, being cognizant that 649 00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:45.280 you're the new player and helping out and having a 650 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:51.079 good attitude and you know, not being so brash in 651 00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.239 the locker room and things like that, you know, settling 652 00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:56.639 in a little bit. But on the field, we definitely 653 00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:59.840 try and tell the players know, hey, have that confidence, 654 00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:02.559 go ahead, get in there. It's other players need to 655 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:04.800 figure out who you are as a player, and you 656 00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:06.480 need to show them from the get go this is 657 00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:09.079 who you are, so you know, don't be timid, don't 658 00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:11.599 be shy, don't be afraid of like, oh, if I'm 659 00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:13.559 going to go take somebody one on one, yeah, I'm 660 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:14.079 gonna do it. 661 00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:15.960 And if they. 662 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:17.880 Look silly, then that's on them and they need to 663 00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:20.239 get better, right. But you know, I'm going to go 664 00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.800 out there and I'm going to do me and that's okay. 665 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:25.760 It's more off the field. I feel like where you 666 00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:27.960 can you can make more of an impact. 667 00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.679 How were you as the new kid in school? 668 00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:35.199 Quiet? Yeah, shy and quiet. 669 00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.760 So for me it was it's easy to talk to 670 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:42.159 those players because I was one of them. You know, 671 00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.360 I saw the other people that were the other way 672 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:47.559 and how they could integrate really easily. But for me, 673 00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:49.639 it was like, no, I'm going to chill out here 674 00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.760 on the side. I'm going to take everything in, you know, 675 00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.280 learn kind of the ropes a little bit, figure out 676 00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:57.800 who I want to buddy up with and who's a 677 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:01.159 little bit more you know, like me and like minded, 678 00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:02.800 and you know, we'll go from there. 679 00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:07.199 Are your mentees more like you? Or are they more 680 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.440 gregarious going into their new situations? From what you can 681 00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:16.840 remember off the top of your head. 682 00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:20.480 I'd say it's sixty forty more more open, more willing 683 00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:23.559 to put themselves out there and you know, not care 684 00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.320 or just have that confidence to go out there and 685 00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:31.840 you know, be them in any situation, which is good. 686 00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:37.400 Is that generationally different or is that just you know, 687 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.960 part of what goes on on the field where you're 688 00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:42.360 going to have one of two personalities come out there. 689 00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:46.119 I didn't know if this particular generation or the mentees 690 00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:50.199 that you're dealing with are geared toward one direction over another, 691 00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:54.039 whether they they are more gregarious just naturally or they're 692 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.039 more quiet naturally in the sixty forty mix, or is 693 00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:59.719 it just something that is more game state more than 694 00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:00.440 any thing else. 695 00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:06.199 Yeah, Well, I think that I think athletes in general 696 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:11.880 tend to be a little bit more confident than non 697 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.159 athletes as far as like a in a school, And 698 00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:17.960 that's what I was kind of talking about. So obviously 699 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:21.559 the mentees are all athletes, and so you know, I 700 00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.519 think maybe that tends to lead towards them being more 701 00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:30.320 confident going into certain situations. So it's kind of swayed 702 00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:32.159 a little bit based off of who we work with. 703 00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:35.920 What did you think of training camp when when training 704 00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.760 camp came up? In general? Were you excited about new 705 00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:42.320 seasons where you're like, oh man, it's training camp and 706 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:44.079 we're going to go south, or we're going to tour, 707 00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:45.880 We're gonna What did you think of training camp when 708 00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:47.360 training camp popped up every year? 709 00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:49.559 Mostly excited. 710 00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:54.760 The only thing I wasn't excited about was fitness and 711 00:39:55.159 --> 00:40:02.480 fitness tests. Yeah, but no excited just to get going 712 00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:06.159 again and to get to know we know, the new group, 713 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:07.960 you know, and. 714 00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:08.719 A fresh start. 715 00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:13.159 And I think that going away for training camp is 716 00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:15.719 really nice because you get to you get to bond 717 00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:18.039 with guys, and when you're in a hotel and you're 718 00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:21.960 away from home, you just bond with guys more differently 719 00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:24.440 than you do when you're just around them, you know, 720 00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:26.599 for five six hours at the training ground and then 721 00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:27.039 go home. 722 00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:28.239 So it's just different. 723 00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:30.440 When you're having your meals together and you're doing other 724 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:32.719 things off the field together, you get to know each 725 00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:35.480 other a little bit better, and you know, I think 726 00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:40.519 that's important bonding for any team. So I always look 727 00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:43.079 forward to those things. And I liked getting away with 728 00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.679 the guys and you know, getting into nicer weather. 729 00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:50.320 So your mentees, I don't think they have training camps 730 00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.559 where they go to like IMG or anything like that. 731 00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:54.400 Most of the time, it might be ninety nine percent 732 00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:56.480 of your mentees are staying at home and they're with 733 00:40:56.519 --> 00:41:00.400 their teams, with their clubs, what have you. When they're 734 00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:03.239 going into these new environments, it's the first day of school, 735 00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:06.039 you know, first day of club. Do you have conversations 736 00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:10.519 with your mentees about pre season, about new environments, about 737 00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:13.079 new seasons and how to respond or do they or 738 00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:15.239 do you just let them do their thing and get 739 00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:17.480 more feedback coming back it's like, well, yeah, I've started 740 00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:20.199 with this new club and ABC D and E. Do 741 00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:22.599 you have information going in or do you get more 742 00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.360 information from them coming out when they're once they're in itself. 743 00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.559 When it comes to integrating, yeah, I think it depends 744 00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.000 on the situation of the player and if they are 745 00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:31.880 going to a new club, like you said, if if 746 00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:34.360 they're hanging out with their old club that they've been 747 00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:37.119 a part of for a long time, and what their 748 00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:40.840 situation is, and also how the previous fall went for 749 00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:44.000 them personally. Are they coming off a great fall and hey, 750 00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:47.119 let's keep that momentum going, or hey, this is a 751 00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:51.280 fresh start, right new season, let's recharge, let's set our 752 00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:55.000 goals and you know, go from there. So you know, 753 00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:58.000 definitely depending on if we've worked with them before, how 754 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:01.239 they did last year, and you know, what their environment 755 00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:02.320 is that they're going into. 756 00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:04.760 So we're trying to take that all into account. 757 00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:08.800 So when you have a mentee, say that had a 758 00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:12.519 that had a great last season and they're coming off 759 00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:15.480 a great postseason, whatever that entails. You know, my my 760 00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:17.800 mentee had a great postseason, we'll put that we had 761 00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.199 a great last season, put that in quotes. And then 762 00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:23.599 you have a mentee that didn't have a good last 763 00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:27.039 season and they're going into a situation this year that 764 00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:29.159 either could be that you hope is you know, different 765 00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:31.679 more optimistic. How do you steer a men te coming 766 00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:34.960 out of a bad out of a bad vibe toward 767 00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:37.320 a new season and try to flip that vibe around. 768 00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:39.599 What are those conversations like, Yeah. 769 00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:41.639 Well, I think the first message is the same to 770 00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:43.840 both players, Like what happened in the past does not 771 00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:47.400 guarantee the same for the future, right, both both good 772 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:50.440 and bad. Right, we've got a We've got an opportunity 773 00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:52.800 to either continue that or to change it. 774 00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:54.320 And that is on us. 775 00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:58.039 And we have that onus, on us and that power 776 00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:02.920 to change things that happened. Right if we create good 777 00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:04.599 habits and we go out there and we have a 778 00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:08.159 good mindset and we put the effort and we want 779 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:10.360 things to change or we want them to continue, and 780 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:13.760 we don't get complacent. And so you know, I think 781 00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:16.079 that goal setting is a big one for players that 782 00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:20.760 have gone through a down period and setting smaller goals, right, 783 00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:22.800 how do we Yeah, of course, your goal might be 784 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:26.360 to start for a team. Right, maybe you came off 785 00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:28.320 with a terrible season, you didn't play that much, Right, 786 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:30.840 I want to be a starter. Well that's great, but 787 00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:32.639 what are you going to do to become a starter? 788 00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:33.119 Right? 789 00:43:33.159 --> 00:43:35.239 How do we have these small little goals so that 790 00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:38.519 each week you're saying, hey, I did these five things 791 00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:41.519 this week to get myself in a better place, to 792 00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:45.000 become a starter. And you know, that's what we try 793 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:48.199 and really focus on, is like, Okay, control what you 794 00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:52.079 can control, put yourself in a good situation, continue to develop, 795 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.519 and everything else will take care of itself. 796 00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:57.880 How hard is it to convince a men t about 797 00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:01.480 controlling the controllables? Because that has been an underlying thing 798 00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:03.599 with you and Greg ever since I think day one 799 00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:08.480 and all of our conversations here on Fridays. You know, 800 00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:12.800 I would think that mentees and that particular age group, 801 00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:16.239 in that particular demo, it's all about the instant gratification, 802 00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:19.199 the instant results. If something didn't happen, it's an extreme. 803 00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.239 It's either I did really great and the world is fantastic, 804 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:26.039 or I had a bad day and everything stinks. How 805 00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:28.639 do you How difficult is it to have a mentee 806 00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:32.320 focus and understand the control the controllable's message these days? 807 00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:35.199 Yeah, it's always a challenge, I mean, and it's not 808 00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:38.360 just for young mentees, right, I think for all of us, 809 00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:39.280 it's right. 810 00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:42.159 We all stress sometimes about things that we can't control. 811 00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.000 You know, we're stress about what the weather is going 812 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:46.880 to be like and how that's going to affect plans 813 00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:49.400 or you know this, that or the other thing. 814 00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:50.280 Right, we all do it. 815 00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:54.480 So it's challenging, and you know, I think that's the 816 00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:58.440 more that we're able to help them just focus on 817 00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:03.519 one or two things and slowly change that habit and 818 00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:06.519 the mindset of what are we thinking about on the 819 00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:08.920 way to a game and what aren't we thinking about 820 00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:12.119 or on the way to training. Right, I think that 821 00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:14.480 that can help, and so then we start to get 822 00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:15.360 the buy in a little bit. 823 00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:17.559 So, yeah, it's tough. 824 00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:20.360 It's not a hey, this is what you should do, 825 00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:22.760 so go out there and do it, and great, Right, 826 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:24.880 it's a constant challenge. 827 00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:27.199 How much how do you know you look at the 828 00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:29.360 adjustments that you have to make with mentees on a 829 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:32.519 year and year a basis, how many adults do you 830 00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:36.079 have to have conversations with about controlling the controllables? Because 831 00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:40.440 I'm to your point, you're like, yeah, the weather impacted 832 00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:43.480 our plans and we couldn't do this, or we're snowed in, 833 00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:45.559 what do we do with the kids in the backyard, 834 00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:48.239 or you know, what do we do to keep them busy? Oh? No, 835 00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:50.360 the power is out. We're really in trouble. Now. How 836 00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:51.880 are we going to navigate these kind of things? Do 837 00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:55.880 you have conversations with parents or adults in general about 838 00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:57.239 controlling the controllables? 839 00:45:57.519 --> 00:45:59.920 Yeah, my wife really appreciates those conversations. 840 00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:10.719 Can you please control the controllables here? Fifteen minutes? Is 841 00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:14.360 that a controllable? What are we controlling here with? 842 00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:14.480 No? 843 00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:17.320 But everybody's running around, everybody's in the backyard dinners in 844 00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:21.480 fifteen but we're halfway through fifteen minutes. It's control the controllables. Yeah, 845 00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:23.400 I could. I could see those conversations with them. 846 00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:28.119 Yeah, but probably not as many as we should with 847 00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:31.920 some parents, you know, some of them here the things 848 00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:34.320 that we talk about with the mentees. So hopefully it 849 00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.280 gets through a little bit, but you know, not as much. 850 00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:40.639 And honestly, I found John that the more we've we've 851 00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:46.920 done things, the more parents are not involved in the sessions. 852 00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:53.239 And I think that's mostly a benefit, which I'm pleased about. 853 00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:54.480 Even younger players. 854 00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:56.719 We'll work with a ten or eleven year old and 855 00:46:56.960 --> 00:46:58.840 parent is like, you know, get some set up in 856 00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.000 front of the screen, okay, I'll let you guys do 857 00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:06.440 your thing. So it's actually rare, more rare that the 858 00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.280 parent sits there and listens and is part of the conversation. 859 00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:10.840 Oh you just had a hat fall behind you. 860 00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:13.880 WHOA, no, no, no, we can't have that. 861 00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:15.199 Yeah on the left side. 862 00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:17.119 Oh there it is, Okay, I'll pick it up on 863 00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:17.639 the shows over. 864 00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.679 So yeah, I mean, not as many conversations as we 865 00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:26.639 probably could and should with the adults. 866 00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:31.480 So, I mean, I get the idea of having an adult, 867 00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:34.079 you know, let the kid you know, have the session 868 00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:37.000 with you and the parent, thinking that it's about on 869 00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:39.320 the field stuff or whatever. You know, it's like mentoring 870 00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:42.960 and that, and it's only part of the equation. I mean, 871 00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:46.679 I'm trying to have you ever thought about just saying hey, okay, 872 00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:50.320 I need to have it. It's like, you're cool this week, 873 00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:52.199 I want to talk to your parents, or having separate 874 00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:55.039 mentoring sessions, but not necessarily call it that I want 875 00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:57.480 to mentor a parent. No. I mean, but have you 876 00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:00.880 thought about having separate conversations just as the sides with 877 00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:02.719 parents or anything like that, just kind of pull them 878 00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:04.440 off and sit there and go okay, hey, here's what's 879 00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:07.719 going on. Here's what I think I'm seeing from you. 880 00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:09.599 Tell me if I'm wrong kind of a thing. 881 00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:12.199 Yeah, that's a good shout, John, because I don't think 882 00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:14.639 that we do that enough. I think every now and then, 883 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:20.880 and it's usually only if it's something big or if 884 00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:23.719 the parent asks, you know, in an email or something, hey, 885 00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:24.440 what's going on? 886 00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:25.599 How's it going type thing? 887 00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:28.679 But we probably should honestly do it more often. 888 00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:28.960 You know. 889 00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:33.440 I guess it's a time factor and it's a we 890 00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:37.039 don't want to use up a session. You know that 891 00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:40.079 could be with the kid with the parent, but we 892 00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:40.920 need to figure that out. 893 00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:42.239 That's a good show because I do. 894 00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:44.760 Think that we could provide more information back to the 895 00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:46.599 parents so that they're getting it as well. It can 896 00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:49.079 stay on top of some of the things that we we. 897 00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:49.840 Do at the airport. 898 00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:54.239 At the airport, I just was reading what Barbote, what 899 00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:55.320 we do in the sessions. 900 00:48:56.760 --> 00:49:00.320 You had sessions at the airport. Yeah, I mean, well, 901 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:02.800 well but you but to your point, and I wasn't 902 00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:06.239 even necessarily thinking like during session time in general, because 903 00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:09.880 there are parents and we've had these talks in the past, 904 00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:12.840 you and Greg and I have had these talks where 905 00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:18.119 the parent is adding to the issues and not contributing 906 00:49:18.159 --> 00:49:22.400 to the solutions. And that's kind of where I was like, well, 907 00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:27.480 how do you how do you pull a parent aside, 908 00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:32.679 be diplomatic about it and have them and have them 909 00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:38.360 understand Okay, I'm seeing this from the outside. I'd like 910 00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:41.400 for you to look at this from the inside and 911 00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:46.920 see if we together can help move everything forward into 912 00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:49.400 a positive and then try not to sound like a 913 00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:51.079 jerk about it, you know what I'm saying. 914 00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:51.960 Yeah. 915 00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:55.320 I did have one interaction with the family recently, and 916 00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:58.239 because the dad wrote an email saying like, oh, I 917 00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:00.920 sent you these videos and son said, you guys didn't 918 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:01.400 watch him. 919 00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:05.679 Well, the dad had prefaced it that the kid didn't 920 00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:07.880 play well. I watched some of the videos. The kid 921 00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:10.119 didn't play terrible, we didn't play great. 922 00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:12.440 So we talked about some of it a little bit, 923 00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:14.599 and I didn't feel like it was necessary to, like, 924 00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:17.280 you know, show them all the bad clips and you know, 925 00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:21.599 go from that, especially when we're dealing with confidence issues. Yeah, 926 00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:24.119 to which the dad wasn't thrilled about and let me 927 00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:28.480 know about it. So, yeah, I had a email exchange 928 00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:30.360 with him, letting him know about Hey, this is how 929 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:32.920 I work and this is what I see and uh, 930 00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:37.760 you know, I didn't say the kid was asking. The 931 00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.519 kid asked me, yeah, what video? What game were you 932 00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:42.880 talking about? And the mom from the background was like, 933 00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:44.079 the game you sucked in? 934 00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:49.400 Wow, So wo geez, poor kid. 935 00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:52.920 The kid laughed so well that obviously talked about it, 936 00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:54.000 and that's defense. 937 00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:56.199 I think that's a defense mechanism, or at least it 938 00:50:56.320 --> 00:50:58.280 was for me in the past when someone, you know, 939 00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:00.960 when your parent, yeah, am on you a little bit, 940 00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:02.639 you laughed to laugh it off as a bit of 941 00:51:02.639 --> 00:51:05.039 a defense mechanism. But that's got a sting man. 942 00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:06.960 So I definitely wasn't going to show the video after 943 00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:09.679 that and talk about it and kind of pound it in. 944 00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:12.960 So we talked about it, you know, just in general, 945 00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:14.920 when you're playing well, when you're not playing well, and 946 00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.480 things like that. So yeah, that's definitely a situation where 947 00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:21.119 it's like, Okay, you know, there's there's things going on 948 00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:25.000 here that you know, hopefully can change in the broader 949 00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:26.960 picture and not just with the athlete. 950 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:29.559 Another couple of minutes there with Michael Parker is that MF. 951 00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:31.760 Parkers on the two hundred and eighty character app at 952 00:51:31.880 --> 00:51:35.440 bg Mentoring, Beyond Goals Mintoring, and Beyond Goalsminnering dot Com 953 00:51:35.800 --> 00:51:39.239 where they're getting into video and they're doing all kinds 954 00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:41.719 of different things here as we get into twenty twenty five, 955 00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:44.119 and I'm looking forward to seeing how things continue to 956 00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:48.360 evolve as how old is How old is BGM now? Three? 957 00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:53.719 Yeah? It's over three? Ok? Yeah too. 958 00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:56.679 We started two and a half years, okay, two and 959 00:51:56.679 --> 00:51:58.239 a half years, and we got we got a brand 960 00:51:58.280 --> 00:52:01.199 new challenge coming out maybe today, maybe. 961 00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:03.320 Tomorrow, I don't even know, it might be today. 962 00:52:03.519 --> 00:52:05.320 So we were talking about, you know, goals for the 963 00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:08.800 new year and resolutions and things, and then that's hard 964 00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:12.000 seventy five thing became really popular online enough. 965 00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:14.800 You're aware of it. But it's a challenge. Basically. 966 00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:18.960 We've got different categories, and you know, within each category 967 00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:20.719 you need to like drink a certain amount and get 968 00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:22.840 a certain amount of cet. You need to do Yeah, 969 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:25.639 good luck on that. I'd fail work out for X 970 00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:29.000 amount of time whatever. So we're putting together one for 971 00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:32.119 youth athletes where it's like, okay, here are some different 972 00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:36.119 categories and here's some options within each category, so you 973 00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:39.880 make the challenge about you, right, do you drink zero 974 00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.199 water right now? And your goals to literally drink one 975 00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.960 glass of water each day? Or are you pretty good 976 00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:49.199 with hydration and you want to drink you know, half 977 00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.440 your body weight announces, which I guess is what you're 978 00:52:51.440 --> 00:52:51.960 supposed to do. 979 00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:52.679 Wow. 980 00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:57.119 So we've got different little categories and selections within each one, 981 00:52:57.159 --> 00:52:59.599 and it's it's just something to do for thirty days, 982 00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:02.280 so that we that we are setting a small little 983 00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:05.920 goal a challenge each week that hey, can we do it? 984 00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:10.039 Can you do it together? And so something for them 985 00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:15.639 to hopefully challenge themselves with, push themselves a little bit 986 00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:18.599 and just get used to having a small goal that 987 00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:20.920 we feel like, Okay, we're getting better each week. 988 00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:23.800 So basically, what you're telling me is that I'm supposed 989 00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:26.280 to drink somewhere in the neighborhood of three leaders of 990 00:53:26.440 --> 00:53:27.920 water a day. 991 00:53:29.639 --> 00:53:31.119 That's what science says, John, not me. 992 00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:34.159 You know, just I mean, hey, just checking, man, you 993 00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:37.320 just like half half your body weight, you know, half 994 00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:40.199 your bodyweight announces. And so I'm sitting here going, okay, 995 00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:42.840 this morning, I wait in at this So that means, damn, 996 00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:43.719 that's a lot of water. 997 00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:45.760 I know, That's what I think too, because I'm like, 998 00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:51.840 how many ounces just grab just grab like the big 999 00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:54.559 two leader at the wild Wire or something, and just 1000 00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:55.480 bring it to the house. 1001 00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:58.719 Uh, Bart, I think the reason that Cap wasn't at 1002 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:02.760 the airport last night because he's in Columbus, Ohio. That 1003 00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:05.760 might be a little counterintuitive unless you know it has 1004 00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:08.559 a private jet, unless you're unless you're a PJ flyer 1005 00:54:09.239 --> 00:54:12.119 and you just hop into the airport, that'd be nice 1006 00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:14.800 and hop on a PJ and come down to see 1007 00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:20.719 somebody signing things at Hartsfield. So obviously, my guess is 1008 00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:23.639 you were probably invited to the the housewarming party when 1009 00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:26.280 they get settled here in town. I know that there's 1010 00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:28.280 a thing at three o'clock this afternoon, and it's going 1011 00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:31.000 to be in a press conference setting.

Like I said, we'll get into 1067 00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:20.960 the details of this and we'll walk down each lane 1068 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:23.400 of traffic here coming up in a bit. But I 1069 00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:25.159 think that four card is on it. I think it 1070 00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:28.880 is keeping an eye on the agent, and so we'll 1071 00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:32.280 walk through all of that stuff. So Morning, Alex Nicky 1072 00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:35.719 presser is at three and it is in the press 1073 00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:38.320 conference room, so I don't know. There definitely would not 1074 00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:42.719 be any room for anybody to go, you know, you know, 1075 00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:46.440 and go and be in the stands or anything like that. 1076 00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:48.079 So it's not on the field. It's in the one 1077 00:57:48.079 --> 00:57:53.960 of the press conference rooms. So let's see morning four card. Yeah, Greg, 1078 00:57:54.000 --> 00:57:56.599 alluding to last week when he was with us, it 1079 00:57:56.679 --> 00:57:58.960 might be other dudes coming back. Ricky needs more hints 1080 00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:05.480 and mentioned youd let's see, uh yeah, you know, Patrick 1081 00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:09.280 Parky's post did break the internet is a Jersey leak 1082 00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:12.239 that he didn't know was a Jersey leak. But he's 1083 00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:19.599 got people will yes, Emilio, morning to y'all. Yeah, that's 1084 00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:23.639 more stuff about the Agent and morning bart Abbey, I 1085 00:58:23.639 --> 00:58:25.880 don't know why Mountain Dew's not on the list and Ropes. 1086 00:58:26.239 --> 00:58:27.880 I'm with you. I just kind of have it here 1087 00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:29.719 to have it here, you know, it's just kind of 1088 00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:32.159 like here is a part of the It's like a 1089 00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:36.320 set prop at time. So okay, morning to everybody, and 1090 00:58:36.360 --> 00:58:40.000 thanks for dropping in as you always do. Uh now, 1091 00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:45.480 so here's your updates on your things. Now. Ricky had 1092 00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:52.239 mentioned Arthur Cabral, and right now it looks like and 1093 00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:56.840 like I said, here's what the reports are saying. It 1094 00:58:56.920 --> 00:59:02.239 looks like Cabral. And this is multiple, this is multiple 1095 00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:10.679 folks networks in Portugal and newspapers. Cabral looks like he 1096 00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:17.239 is linked to west Ham at eighteen plus two. Looks 1097 00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:21.000 like it's eighteen plus two according to Record in Portugal, 1098 00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:26.599 and they're one of the newspapers. And they've got four 1099 00:59:26.679 --> 00:59:29.880 hundred and twenty one thousand followers on the two hundred 1100 00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:31.480 and eighty character app if you want to look at 1101 00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:35.639 it that way. So you're looking at eighteen plus two 1102 00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:41.760 for Cabral. A lac Lee has gone another direction. They 1103 00:59:41.760 --> 00:59:46.960 went to Glenn Kamara. So Kamara out heading one direction 1104 00:59:47.599 --> 00:59:51.360 and so the pivot. Now you have the rumor with 1105 00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:55.119 the Cabral in West Ham at eighteen plus two. So 1106 00:59:56.840 --> 01:00:00.760 mirror and everybody is sitting there and staring and go on, Okay, 1107 01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:03.639 that's what the that's what you're looking at. So the 1108 01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:09.639 mirror is saying fifteen plus two plus add ons and 1109 01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:13.920 you have others looking at eighteen plus two. Olie Watkins 1110 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:15.639 has told you Ni Emory he wants to stay at 1111 01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:20.800 Asston Villa forty million bid. Emory, fresh from offloading Jean 1112 01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:23.320 Dern from al Noos for seventy seven and a half 1113 01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:29.599 million pounds, has confirmed that Emory is not coming united 1114 01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:32.320 looking at Giovanni Kenda. We've talked about him and our 1115 01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:37.599 conversations that we've had involving our buddy Nino Torres and 1116 01:00:37.639 --> 01:00:41.800 the Portuguese League and Rubert Amerim and everybody. So you're 1117 01:00:41.880 --> 01:00:46.360 looking at eighteen plus two or fifteen plus add ons 1118 01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:49.199 right now, depending on who you're talking about. By the way, 1119 01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:51.679 Jiago Almada has a new head coach, it's Palo Fonseca. 1120 01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:56.719 That was announced this morning as well. So depending on 1121 01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:04.239 what you're looking at, eighteen plus two and a lot 1122 01:01:04.239 --> 01:01:06.440 of folks are going back to the report from Record 1123 01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:10.119 in the Record newspaper in Portugal eighteen plus two. Some 1124 01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:15.360 folks are saying fifteen so Cabral, and once again remember 1125 01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:22.760 what our budding Nino Torres said about Cabral yesterday that 1126 01:01:24.599 --> 01:01:27.480 he ain't too keen on him. But the number for 1127 01:01:27.559 --> 01:01:30.119 Cabral to west Ham is anywhere from fifteen plus to 1128 01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:33.199 eighteen plus two. So that's what you're looking at with Cabral. 1129 01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:37.280 So Ricky being the intrepid producer, Emil Asid wasting no 1130 01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:43.000 time going to Cuyaba in Brazil, so that's out there 1131 01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:48.159 as well. This morning the Emial Aside sweepstakes, so the 1132 01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:52.079 meal Aside to Cuyaba this morning. But so right now 1133 01:01:53.639 --> 01:01:55.880 through December of twenty six, so it looks like it's 1134 01:01:55.880 --> 01:02:00.760 a year and a half deal for Assad now with 1135 01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:06.280 everything that we have talked about involving Cabral and Emmanuel Lattels, 1136 01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:10.320 here is where we are morning, Badger, no movement, but 1137 01:02:10.360 --> 01:02:12.239 that's where we are. That's where we are right now. 1138 01:02:12.280 --> 01:02:18.800 Your timing is impeccable. There are reports out there and 1139 01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:24.199 they're all over the place. I have seen anything from 1140 01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:32.559 twenty plus two to twenty plus eight. That's what I'm 1141 01:02:32.559 --> 01:02:36.159 saying twenty plus two to twenty plus eight. The twenty 1142 01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:40.519 plus eight one to me is an outlier, and it 1143 01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:44.119 is someone who has followers who is tied to someone 1144 01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:46.519 who has a lot more followers, if that makes any sense. 1145 01:02:48.079 --> 01:02:50.239 The number that we've been looking at is eighteen plus two. 1146 01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:53.320 So let's look at the Let's look at the characters 1147 01:02:53.320 --> 01:02:56.880 here in the play and kind of look at things. 1148 01:02:57.559 --> 01:03:06.800 So let's start off with our friend at tees Side Live. 1149 01:03:08.280 --> 01:03:10.320 We'll start with our friends at Tea Sidelve and our 1150 01:03:10.320 --> 01:03:13.320 buddy Craig Johns who Pop who wrote an op ed 1151 01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:19.559 for our friends at the Gazette. Craig's been very very busy. 1152 01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:26.760 Headline Emmanuel latte Lots sale is a risk Middlesbrough simply 1153 01:03:26.880 --> 01:03:31.199 have to take. With Striker close to exit. Craig is 1154 01:03:31.239 --> 01:03:35.800 the Middlesbrough beat writer for tees Side Live. Here's what 1155 01:03:35.880 --> 01:03:37.719 Craig wrote this morning and it was an op ed 1156 01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:41.400 for those of you that missed it. Emmanuel and I'm 1157 01:03:41.400 --> 01:03:45.480 gonna paraphrase and dip through some sentences. Latte Lot appears 1158 01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:47.480 on the verge of a Middlesbrough exit on Thursday and 1159 01:03:47.519 --> 01:03:49.800 agreement was finally reached with MLS side Atlanta and I 1160 01:03:49.840 --> 01:03:53.199 died for the sale of Buristar Striker, having already completed 1161 01:03:53.199 --> 01:03:55.800 his medical there aren't any expected hiccups to stop the 1162 01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:59.280 transfer now taking place. A twenty two and a half 1163 01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:04.599 million pounds sale represents a record fee received for Burrough, 1164 01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:10.400 what they got for a Domitrio Ray to Wolves seize 1165 01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:12.400 the club, turn over a huge profit on the ivory 1166 01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:13.920 and who was bought for a little over four million 1167 01:04:13.960 --> 01:04:20.119 pounds just eighteen months ago. John's continues make no mistake, 1168 01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:21.639 though It's a risk, a big one, you might say, 1169 01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:24.079 giving them what's potentially at stakes, selling your top score 1170 01:04:24.119 --> 01:04:26.199 mid season while locked in an intense battle to reach 1171 01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:28.599 the playoffs for a shot at promotion to the Premier League. 1172 01:04:28.719 --> 01:04:31.599 With twenty nine goal since his arrival from Atalanta, replacing 1173 01:04:31.639 --> 01:04:34.599 Latte Lost is not going to be easy, but quite 1174 01:04:34.599 --> 01:04:38.559 simply though, it's a risk that Burrow simply have to take. Ultimately, 1175 01:04:38.599 --> 01:04:40.719 that's the model, and that is dictated by the cruel 1176 01:04:40.760 --> 01:04:45.199 financial landscape that is the Championship. Signing players like Latte Loss, 1177 01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:48.400 developing them into better players to make profit is ultimately 1178 01:04:48.440 --> 01:04:51.159 part of the plan to get Burrough's finances back on 1179 01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:57.280 track and he mentions Brentford and Brighton. At the start 1180 01:04:57.320 --> 01:05:01.800 of the month John's continues, Burrough released their financial accounts 1181 01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:04.559 which covered the period through last season. They highlighted the 1182 01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:08.239 importance of player trading and the fact that money brought 1183 01:05:08.239 --> 01:05:11.000 in on players' sales will be invested back into the squad. 1184 01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:18.320 The club made an overall operating loss of over twelve 1185 01:05:18.360 --> 01:05:21.000 million pounds over the year long period, over a million 1186 01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:24.880 pounds a month. Let that sink in The accounts showed 1187 01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:28.400 the club made nineteen million pounds on player sales, and 1188 01:05:28.440 --> 01:05:31.360 despite projected losses and the fact that Steve Gibson put 1189 01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:33.559 in a further thirteen million pounds to ensure the deficit 1190 01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:36.639 wasn't even bigger, then they spent eighteen million pounds on 1191 01:05:36.760 --> 01:05:39.920 buying players. Within that eighteen was the money they spent 1192 01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:43.159 on bringing Latte Lot to the club. Fast forward to 1193 01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:47.199 this season. Such financial information won't be available until next year, 1194 01:05:47.199 --> 01:05:49.079 but what we can safely predict is that without this 1195 01:05:49.199 --> 01:05:53.679 Latte lost sale, Burrow were highly in the red. Without 1196 01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:56.000 any major sales in the summer, they continued investment in 1197 01:05:56.000 --> 01:05:58.480 the squad with big purchases such as Aiden Morrison, Tommy 1198 01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:01.119 Conway this month, as well as bringing Ryan Giles back 1199 01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:03.440 on loan, adding Mark Travers until the end of the season, 1200 01:06:03.719 --> 01:06:06.360 turning George Edmondson's loan into a permanent switch. They've also 1201 01:06:06.440 --> 01:06:09.119 splashed in initial five million pounds on signing Morgan Whittaker. 1202 01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:13.239 It's not complicated maths to work out that a twenty 1203 01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:15.639 two and a half million pound offer just cannot be 1204 01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:21.320 turned down. MLS is an ever growing league. He's about 1205 01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:23.519 during life changing money which he cannot be begrudged for. 1206 01:06:23.679 --> 01:06:25.760 To his credit, throughout the whole SAGI, he's never wants 1207 01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:28.679 down tools or not given us everything for the borough cause. 1208 01:06:28.719 --> 01:06:31.800 Alas at his age and with recent achievements in MLS, 1209 01:06:31.800 --> 01:06:34.840 move feels underwhelming to say the least. Disagree Craig Jones. 1210 01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:39.719 That's ultimately not Burrough's concern, though their focus quickly turns 1211 01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:42.400 on an adequate replacement. Without one, Burrough's massive investment in 1212 01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:43.960 their squad could be for nothing in the short term 1213 01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:47.280 at least. Okay, So that is what Johns wrote this 1214 01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:52.639 morning for The Gazette and tees sidelve. So because of this, 1215 01:06:54.039 --> 01:07:02.360 I would say that Middlesbrough wants the sale knowing their 1216 01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:09.840 finances or lack thereof, Middlesbrough wants this sale to go through. 1217 01:07:12.840 --> 01:07:15.000 When you've got twenty two and a half million pounds 1218 01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:17.280 staring you in the face and you have the operating 1219 01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:23.920 deficit and challenges that Middlesbrough have, Middlesbrough's gonna sit there 1220 01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:29.400 and go bruh sign we love you butt morning, Harry. 1221 01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:35.320 So in this I would say that Middlesbrough is not 1222 01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:39.199 the issue. Middlesbrough sees twenty two and a half million 1223 01:07:39.239 --> 01:07:42.079 slid across the table by Craig Henderson and Garth Logerway, 1224 01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:48.280 they're like, ooh, this could really help us out. Atlanta 1225 01:07:49.679 --> 01:07:52.400 looks at Emmanuel Latte Loth. They've got a figure that 1226 01:07:52.440 --> 01:07:54.760 they've kind of stuck to eighteen plus two, you know, 1227 01:07:54.800 --> 01:07:57.199 twenty two twenty to twenty two and a half. That's 1228 01:07:57.199 --> 01:08:00.400 the range that we've seen euros to pounds and things 1229 01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:05.000 like that. And once again, you know, Atlanta United is 1230 01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:09.039 not just in this one lane of traffic. We don't 1231 01:08:09.079 --> 01:08:11.239 know what, we don't know, but the European window only 1232 01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:17.640 has four days left. The Saudi window actually closes today 1233 01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:20.880 just for reference sake, So four days left in this 1234 01:08:20.920 --> 01:08:23.359 window expect everything to be chaotic over the weekend. Keep 1235 01:08:23.359 --> 01:08:27.319 an eye on who plays and who doesn't. Atlanta United 1236 01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:29.239 has sat there and said, hey, look when they've stood 1237 01:08:29.319 --> 01:08:32.239 fast with that number eighteen plus two reported on this 1238 01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:35.439 side of the Atlantic. You know eighteen plus two, you 1239 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:39.359 know twenty two and a half, we're all right in there. 1240 01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:44.560 So if Atlanta United, while they're trying to look at 1241 01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:46.239 other folks, and they might have to look at other 1242 01:08:46.279 --> 01:08:50.000 folks quickly, if they're not already scouting other folks because 1243 01:08:50.039 --> 01:08:51.920 of the issues that have been going on, and you 1244 01:08:51.920 --> 01:08:53.560 could tell they've been looking at because they've been linked 1245 01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:56.239 with other players. But they may have to boogey on 1246 01:08:56.359 --> 01:09:00.239 a deal in the European market over the next four 1247 01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:04.199 days with everyone that they're looking at and Emmanuel Latte 1248 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:08.560 Love they've got a boogie on all of these things. 1249 01:09:10.199 --> 01:09:11.920 And keep an eye on over the next four days. 1250 01:09:11.920 --> 01:09:14.359 I imagine that over the next four days, Chris Henderson, 1251 01:09:14.439 --> 01:09:16.600 Garth Lockerway, and the front office that at Lanty United 1252 01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:17.800 are not going to be getting a whole lot of 1253 01:09:17.800 --> 01:09:24.760 sleep this afternoon. Do not be surprised if video comes 1254 01:09:24.760 --> 01:09:26.920 out of this press conference and you see a lot 1255 01:09:26.960 --> 01:09:30.319 of dark circles under the eyes of Craig Henderson and 1256 01:09:30.399 --> 01:09:34.760 Garth Lockerway and anybody from the front office. So that 1257 01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:39.119 lends us to the agent. And this is where I 1258 01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:43.119 am leaning in this discussion about the issue in getting 1259 01:09:43.119 --> 01:09:49.359 this over the finish line. For whatever reason, our friends 1260 01:09:49.399 --> 01:09:58.600 at MP MP Management, they don't think that's enough. They 1261 01:09:58.680 --> 01:10:05.159 don't then this would have to be a conversation had 1262 01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:11.119 with a particular with a particular agent attached to a 1263 01:10:11.159 --> 01:10:21.960 particular a particular player. What's the issue here, what's the problem. 1264 01:10:24.800 --> 01:10:30.119 So the agent hanging out for a Premier League deal, 1265 01:10:30.600 --> 01:10:37.199 you know, bruh, what's going on? And if you look 1266 01:10:37.279 --> 01:10:42.600 at his you literally, if you look at the agent's instagram, 1267 01:10:42.680 --> 01:10:46.760 he's in Italy. Everything and everything that we have seen 1268 01:10:47.079 --> 01:10:54.199 news wise involving Emmanuel Lattels has been coming from Italian 1269 01:10:54.399 --> 01:11:06.000 sources to start off with, from Italian million sources. So 1270 01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:12.199 it's just it's been looking looking at this, looking at 1271 01:11:12.199 --> 01:11:17.239 this agent. And now you have fans who are attached 1272 01:11:17.239 --> 01:11:21.840 to Middlesbrough who are looking at Mattias ven Rosso at 1273 01:11:21.960 --> 01:11:30.720 MP and it's like, bruh, what's going on? So I'm 1274 01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:35.479 leaning toward the agency here being the issue. I know 1275 01:11:35.600 --> 01:11:40.199 that we have seen reports about Latte life and his 1276 01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:42.920 interest in you know, generational money and all these kinds 1277 01:11:42.920 --> 01:11:47.279 of things, all these separate things we've talked about. I 1278 01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:51.800 don't think it's the player. It's definitely not the club. 1279 01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:56.279 And Atlanta United has been at the table kind of 1280 01:11:56.319 --> 01:12:00.800 sitting and going all right here. It's so I'm leaning 1281 01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:06.199 toward the agency being the issue. We have a club 1282 01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:12.199 that needs the money and they've invested, and they've had dudes, 1283 01:12:12.319 --> 01:12:15.199 you know, come in and throw more money into the 1284 01:12:15.239 --> 01:12:19.199 issues in the Championship. Like I said, at Landa Knight 1285 01:12:19.279 --> 01:12:22.560 has been at the table. That's one lane. They're interested. 1286 01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:26.239 Middlesbrough needs the money. Middlesbroough sees twenty two and a 1287 01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:28.600 half million or twenty to twenty two and a half million. 1288 01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:33.600 They're like, ooh, after investing four to get him from Atlanta, 1289 01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:39.439 that's a big turn on investment. Player seemingly interested. That's 1290 01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:47.319 lane three. So that leaves the agency. That leaves MP 1291 01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:54.680 Management as the folks who are the agency for Manuel 1292 01:12:54.720 --> 01:13:01.760 Latte La that are quickly having patients lost from everybody 1293 01:13:01.800 --> 01:13:10.880 and anybody attached to Middlesbrough. So and Michael mentions the 1294 01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:16.600 agent works for the player. Agent needs to get this 1295 01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:21.680 done and convince. And if it is lane five where 1296 01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:26.439 the agent works for the player, I mean this has 1297 01:13:26.479 --> 01:13:34.079 been a meteoric rise in fee for Emmanuel la Telt. 1298 01:13:34.960 --> 01:13:37.359 Like I said, we have mentioned before and we'll mention again. 1299 01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:41.720 MP management has two players of market value according to 1300 01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:46.039 transfermarked that are above one million pounds or one million euro. 1301 01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:49.880 One is Nicola Savona, a twenty one year old right 1302 01:13:49.880 --> 01:13:51.960 back who plays for Youve. The other is Emmanuel latae 1303 01:13:52.039 --> 01:13:56.239 lat because of his time at at Atalanta moved to Middlesbrough. 1304 01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:04.800 So so you're you're looking at all of these things 1305 01:14:04.840 --> 01:14:12.560 that have been pieced together in all of these different 1306 01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:21.920 lanes of traffic. Something is holding this up. Something is 1307 01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:33.840 holding this up, something someone what have you. So that's 1308 01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:38.439 what you're staring at with all of these things. So 1309 01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:40.760 all these different lanes of traffic. I figured I would 1310 01:14:40.760 --> 01:14:45.600 present the evidence, but like I said, my I'm leaning 1311 01:14:45.640 --> 01:14:48.960 toward the agency here trying to get that Premier League deal. 1312 01:14:53.119 --> 01:14:55.720 Why Middlesbrough would not be interested in selling considering their 1313 01:14:55.720 --> 01:14:57.920 financial situation is beyond me. That has been that has 1314 01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:00.000 been out There is an idea, but trying to get 1315 01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:04.920 that Premier League deal for your client, and you're not 1316 01:15:05.000 --> 01:15:11.520 even in England to do it. You're you're in Italy. 1317 01:15:12.640 --> 01:15:15.319 Your client is in England, playing in England, and you 1318 01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:19.479 are in Italy supposedly taking offers and listening to folks. 1319 01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:23.800 So that's where we are in all of this. A 1320 01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:26.600 couple of days left, so we'll see where we are. 1321 01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:29.079 But I think at three o'clock this afternoon and beyond 1322 01:15:29.079 --> 01:15:31.199 you look at Chris Henderson, you look at Garth loger Way, 1323 01:15:31.359 --> 01:15:34.640 and you'll see a lot of circles under their eyes. Yeah, 1324 01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:38.399 Micky's yeah, and Michael and Michael to your point. Yes, 1325 01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:42.600 So Michael's point, Miggy has an agent. Miggy wanted to 1326 01:15:42.600 --> 01:15:47.399 come to Atlanta United. Micky's here. And it was also 1327 01:15:47.439 --> 01:15:50.560 a situation where Newcastle was like, go find a home, 1328 01:15:51.880 --> 01:15:55.760 and so it's like if you find a home, al 1329 01:15:55.840 --> 01:15:58.439 Maron's like in Atlanta is interested? Okay, So Newcastle has 1330 01:15:58.439 --> 01:16:03.880 Miguel Almroon on the outs call online one Atlanta United. Hey, 1331 01:16:03.880 --> 01:16:07.279 Miggy would you like to come back? Okay? Yeah, sure, 1332 01:16:07.279 --> 01:16:11.840 we'll figure it out. You're not seeing any of that, Yeah, 1333 01:16:11.880 --> 01:16:18.239 we'll figure it out From mp and Middlesbrough trying to 1334 01:16:18.239 --> 01:16:21.359 figure something out. I'm sure Middlesbrough. I'm sure Middlesbrough wants 1335 01:16:21.399 --> 01:16:24.880 a deal done. But we have seen reports that have 1336 01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:28.840 been off the rails. Today at twenty plus eight I 1337 01:16:28.920 --> 01:16:34.560 have never seen in my life and almost fifty percent 1338 01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:46.439 add on for anything anything. So Michael Kerrick within the 1339 01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:50.840 last half hour has had his press conference quoting him 1340 01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:54.399 getting ready. Emmanuel Latte Loth came off injured last week. 1341 01:16:54.399 --> 01:16:56.640 We're seeing how quickly he's going to be fit. Until 1342 01:16:56.640 --> 01:16:58.640 there's anything to report, we'll work with the players and 1343 01:16:58.680 --> 01:17:00.800 prepare for the next game. There's always a plan surrounding 1344 01:17:00.800 --> 01:17:02.560 the balance of the squad. A lot of work goes 1345 01:17:02.920 --> 01:17:05.159 on behind the scenes to come out of the transfer 1346 01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:09.680 window in a good place. That's Michael Carrick as of 1347 01:17:09.680 --> 01:17:19.199 about twenty five minutes ago. So that's what you're staring at, 1348 01:17:19.279 --> 01:17:26.520 involving Emmanuel Latte lot So keep an eye on all 1349 01:17:26.560 --> 01:17:30.800 of this, Like I said, keep an eye on all 1350 01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:36.880 of this, all right. That's where we are anyway, Okay, 1351 01:17:37.119 --> 01:17:41.640 So eighteen plus two, eighteen plus seven, that's all over 1352 01:17:41.680 --> 01:17:43.520 the place and spinning plates. Let me see what Northern 1353 01:17:43.560 --> 01:17:49.640 Echo has to say really quickly dominic Shaw. Two hours ago, 1354 01:17:52.119 --> 01:17:54.119 Latte Lot set to complete his twenty two and a 1355 01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:58.439 half million pound move to Atlanta United, signing a striker 1356 01:17:58.439 --> 01:18:02.079 of the obvious priority. Ro's recruitment team are calm and confident. 1357 01:18:02.720 --> 01:18:05.560 Three to four potential targets still very much alive. Strelitch 1358 01:18:05.680 --> 01:18:08.560 was the one from a slow and Broadislava I think 1359 01:18:08.680 --> 01:18:12.079 was the one that was linked Burrow having carried out 1360 01:18:12.119 --> 01:18:17.720 extensive groundwork reports of the weekend. Strelitch has been keen 1361 01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:23.800 on the move. Cameron Archer not on their radar from Leeds, 1362 01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:27.359 so Northern Echo is leaning into the twenty two and 1363 01:18:27.359 --> 01:18:32.000 a half million pound deal. Twenty two and a half 1364 01:18:32.079 --> 01:18:36.239 million seems to be the number, but the weird one 1365 01:18:36.840 --> 01:18:43.159 when you said twenty plus eight. So Burrow says yes, 1366 01:18:43.840 --> 01:18:46.319 and this is so Burrow says yes. The player and 1367 01:18:46.359 --> 01:18:50.960 the agent, you know, is it a situation where the 1368 01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:53.359 player and the agent are sad that it's not a 1369 01:18:53.399 --> 01:18:55.520 move to the prem considering you're coming from Syria to 1370 01:18:55.560 --> 01:19:03.920 the Championship now, is it? Latte Lots saying yes, and 1371 01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:06.520 the agent wanting more of a piece of the check 1372 01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:14.119 since it's not the Premier League. And we try to 1373 01:19:14.119 --> 01:19:16.680 figure out what the options are going forward. But I 1374 01:19:16.800 --> 01:19:22.000 saw this morning Luca Bendoni was the one that was 1375 01:19:22.119 --> 01:19:25.279 the one that was off the rails. So Luca Bendoni, 1376 01:19:26.239 --> 01:19:32.439 who has ties to the Janluca de Marcio plan, had 1377 01:19:32.520 --> 01:19:36.199 seventeen million fixed eight million in add on late lot 1378 01:19:36.279 --> 01:19:39.279 yet to approve the transfer parties waiting for his decision. 1379 01:19:39.319 --> 01:19:41.920 Ten percent of borrow capital gains from this deal go 1380 01:19:42.039 --> 01:19:47.760 to at Atalanta. So and this goes from Tommy Scoops 1381 01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:53.600 and Nysark Kinsella. But literally, I have never seen I 1382 01:19:53.640 --> 01:20:01.760 have never seen a contract offer that had basically fifty 1383 01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:05.960 percent markup on add ons. I've never seen that before. 1384 01:20:06.800 --> 01:20:11.239 So the Bendoni report, and that's what I'll use. I'll 1385 01:20:11.319 --> 01:20:15.359 use it as a report. So look a Bendoni reporting 1386 01:20:16.319 --> 01:20:18.840 seventeen plus eight in pounds. Like I said, I've never 1387 01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:22.560 seen twenty five and eight of it being add ons. 1388 01:20:22.640 --> 01:20:27.119 I've never seen that before. So keeping your eye on 1389 01:20:27.159 --> 01:20:30.119 twenty to twenty two and a half. This twenty five 1390 01:20:30.159 --> 01:20:32.760 with eight million add ons from Bendoni is out there 1391 01:20:33.359 --> 01:20:36.840 off to the edges of the Bell curve. So hold 1392 01:20:36.880 --> 01:20:38.079 that kind of like we do. The three in the 1393 01:20:38.079 --> 01:20:42.520 four letter paper. So that's what you're looking at At 1394 01:20:42.520 --> 01:20:47.600 the moment. I'm still leaning into the the agent, the 1395 01:20:48.039 --> 01:20:50.680 agent that is trying to do things from Italy with 1396 01:20:50.720 --> 01:20:53.000 a player who used to play in Italy who's now 1397 01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:55.279 playing in England in the Championship. So anyway, like I said, 1398 01:20:55.319 --> 01:20:58.000 that's me, That's what I'm That's what i'm That's what 1399 01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:00.239 I'm thinking here. Keep an eye on the age in 1400 01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:02.439 all of those. But the agent is as detached as 1401 01:21:02.439 --> 01:21:04.199 you could be one end of Europe to the other, 1402 01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:07.520 doesn't seem I mean, yes, I know we can do 1403 01:21:07.560 --> 01:21:09.760 things electronically, and I know we can do things a 1404 01:21:09.800 --> 01:21:12.439 bunch of different ways these days. But the fact that 1405 01:21:12.479 --> 01:21:17.319 he's not in England with his client trying to get 1406 01:21:17.319 --> 01:21:19.760 things done. Who knows. But this would be the home 1407 01:21:19.840 --> 01:21:24.319 run shot for MP, considering that the twenty eight other 1408 01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:29.600 clients have a value of twenty three million euro when 1409 01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:34.079 it comes to MP management. So all right, Atlanta United Birmingham, 1410 01:21:34.680 --> 01:21:38.479 let me start here. Yeah, the agency and is gonna 1411 01:21:38.520 --> 01:21:41.560 end up shooting themselves in the foot. Like I said, 1412 01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:44.279 two players above one million euro in value. One of 1413 01:21:44.319 --> 01:21:46.279 them is Emmanuel Latte Lot the others are right back 1414 01:21:46.279 --> 01:21:50.239 at Uvean. Well, no, I mean a lot of cash 1415 01:21:50.239 --> 01:21:52.800 for someone basically currently on the IR Like I said, 1416 01:21:52.800 --> 01:21:55.119 we don't know the seriousness of the injury, but he 1417 01:21:55.199 --> 01:22:01.319 had his medical done apparently overseas, and well, like I said, 1418 01:22:01.319 --> 01:22:03.039 we don't know the seriousness of the injury, but you 1419 01:22:03.079 --> 01:22:08.640 would also if it Landa United were concerned, they would 1420 01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:11.239 have pulled out and you would know it. They would 1421 01:22:11.239 --> 01:22:12.880 have pulled out of this deal. I think if it 1422 01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:17.159 land United were concerned, then they would have pulled out. 1423 01:22:17.439 --> 01:22:21.920 Remember that while Middlesbrough is in season at Landa United 1424 01:22:21.960 --> 01:22:24.159 still has another couple of weeks. So even if there 1425 01:22:24.279 --> 01:22:27.800 was a concern about treating Latte Lot, if he were 1426 01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:30.800 to come in treat him lightly on the side, he's 1427 01:22:30.800 --> 01:22:34.119 still got a couple of weeks. If it's not a concern, 1428 01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:37.039 it's not a concern, and we would know that it's 1429 01:22:37.039 --> 01:22:39.800 a concern by no longer being interested in the deal. 1430 01:22:39.840 --> 01:22:43.239 Once again, you've got until February third. Big Ben goes 1431 01:22:43.279 --> 01:22:48.079 at midnight local time February third. Everything's over, So there's 1432 01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:49.560 going to be a rush this weekend. We'll get into 1433 01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:51.199 all the news and notes and who's moved and who's 1434 01:22:51.279 --> 01:22:57.000 looking at as we go now that Land United Birmingham. 1435 01:22:57.119 --> 01:23:00.800 I want to know what's on your mind when it 1436 01:23:00.840 --> 01:23:05.600 comes to this match other than everybody healthy. There was 1437 01:23:05.680 --> 01:23:10.000 a conversation that was had among Jason, Maddie and myself 1438 01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:19.560 self after the match in Chattanooga, and Jason asked what 1439 01:23:19.800 --> 01:23:24.640 he was looking for. He asked me and Maddie what 1440 01:23:24.680 --> 01:23:28.880 we were looking for coming forward for this matchup in Birmingham. 1441 01:23:28.920 --> 01:23:30.560 And this is the adjustment that I have to make 1442 01:23:30.560 --> 01:23:32.560 to make sure that you guys can hear it is 1443 01:23:32.600 --> 01:23:34.279 that I have to move my head set so I 1444 01:23:34.279 --> 01:23:37.960 don't blow out my own ears. So here is the conversation. 1445 01:23:38.760 --> 01:23:42.119 Jason asked, Okay, what are you looking forward to? What 1446 01:23:42.159 --> 01:23:44.199 are you anticipating? What would you like to see with 1447 01:23:44.279 --> 01:23:47.399 the matchup in Birmingham for at Land United Birmingham Legion. 1448 01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:50.680 Here is that conversation that we had courtesy of the 1449 01:23:50.720 --> 01:23:53.000 full Time Report off the Woodwork podcast at ninety two 1450 01:23:53.079 --> 01:23:55.359 nine in the game of the post game show after 1451 01:23:55.760 --> 01:23:58.600 the matchup in Chattanooga. So here's what we were anticipating, 1452 01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:00.479 what we'd like to see coming up tomorrow. 1453 01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:03.840 I asked Mike, I'll ask you guys and we'll start 1454 01:24:03.840 --> 01:24:06.720 with you, John, What do you want to see. 1455 01:24:06.600 --> 01:24:08.000 Be better next week? 1456 01:24:08.119 --> 01:24:10.439 One thing that you want to see improved from right 1457 01:24:10.439 --> 01:24:13.079 now to Birmingham next Saturday. 1458 01:24:13.159 --> 01:24:16.840 Not as much backpassing, not being afraid to engage in 1459 01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:19.279 the play and go forward, because it seemed like there 1460 01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:23.399 were times where Okay, I think we need to preserve possession, 1461 01:24:23.479 --> 01:24:25.000 so I'm going to pass it backward and go all 1462 01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:26.760 the way all the way back to brad At times 1463 01:24:26.800 --> 01:24:29.800 we saw that as a part of an outlet to 1464 01:24:30.239 --> 01:24:33.439 preserve possession. Go ahead and go ahead and go forward 1465 01:24:33.439 --> 01:24:35.239 and see what you can do when it comes to 1466 01:24:35.439 --> 01:24:37.800 what you're trying to learn with this system from Ronnie Dallas. 1467 01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:40.840 So for me, it's advancing play and moving forward instead 1468 01:24:40.880 --> 01:24:43.199 of going for that back pass and necessarily being and 1469 01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:44.800 I'm going to go ahead and use air quotes, being 1470 01:24:44.960 --> 01:24:46.479 safe with your activity. 1471 01:24:46.640 --> 01:24:49.079 That's the step forward and what we were talking about 1472 01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:52.800 with build up from doing the drill and getting the 1473 01:24:52.960 --> 01:24:57.760 understanding to executing it and getting out of your defensive half, 1474 01:24:57.800 --> 01:24:59.680 out of the build up phase into getting forward. 1475 01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:00.840 Maddie, what about you? 1476 01:25:01.079 --> 01:25:02.960 I think mine would be kind of pigging back off 1477 01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:05.439 of that, but to me it would be. I felt 1478 01:25:05.439 --> 01:25:08.119 like there were a couple of moments, especially in the place, 1479 01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:10.880 just getting closer to goal, getting into the box and 1480 01:25:11.159 --> 01:25:12.600 trying to get a shot. It almost felt like it 1481 01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:15.800 was too many touches, almost like it was and you 1482 01:25:15.840 --> 01:25:17.840 see the opportunity, you take it and see what happens. 1483 01:25:17.880 --> 01:25:20.119 You want you want folks to be a little more unselfish, 1484 01:25:20.159 --> 01:25:21.560 a little bit more selfish. 1485 01:25:21.560 --> 01:25:23.560 I would agree there were a couple of moments where 1486 01:25:23.640 --> 01:25:25.840 you know, Luke Brennan had a great opportunity but instead 1487 01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:28.439 took a couple extra steps to then try the cross in. 1488 01:25:28.920 --> 01:25:30.640 But I felt like he had a good opportunity to 1489 01:25:30.720 --> 01:25:34.039 maybe just bring it inside and maybe trying a shot himself. 1490 01:25:34.159 --> 01:25:36.840 I thought there were a couple of moments. But I 1491 01:25:36.880 --> 01:25:39.159 mean to me as well, I think it's about building 1492 01:25:39.159 --> 01:25:41.039 a little bit more of that trust. And I think 1493 01:25:41.079 --> 01:25:43.680 that's something that they talked about this week, especially on 1494 01:25:43.720 --> 01:25:46.960 Tuesday and Thursday. I think you're seeing the blueprints of it. 1495 01:25:47.039 --> 01:25:49.359 You see a lot of those combinations that we did 1496 01:25:49.399 --> 01:25:51.720 see and how the trust is there. I mean you 1497 01:25:51.720 --> 01:25:53.199 see it too. With a lot of the guys from 1498 01:25:53.199 --> 01:25:55.039 the twos, they play together a lot, they already have 1499 01:25:55.119 --> 01:25:57.119 that trust. They have that bond there a lot of 1500 01:25:57.119 --> 01:25:59.039 guys from the first team they've played together a little bit, 1501 01:25:59.239 --> 01:26:01.680 Cleish and Jay they've played together all season long, so 1502 01:26:01.720 --> 01:26:05.279 they have that connection. I think it's now just about 1503 01:26:05.600 --> 01:26:07.720 building on top of that and getting a little bit 1504 01:26:07.760 --> 01:26:11.079 more of that trust from everyone around you, and being 1505 01:26:11.119 --> 01:26:14.800 comfortable and trying to connect and not being afraid to 1506 01:26:15.920 --> 01:26:18.920 maybe take it yourself, maybe picking out a couple opportunities 1507 01:26:18.920 --> 01:26:20.840 where hey, you know what, maybe the right opportunities for 1508 01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:22.199 me to pass it up to Saba on the right 1509 01:26:22.239 --> 01:26:25.199 and then we go. It's I think picking your moments 1510 01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:28.079 and then also knowing when I need to step back 1511 01:26:28.119 --> 01:26:30.159 and be like, hey, I need to make this extra 1512 01:26:30.199 --> 01:26:31.640 pass to go. I felt like it was a little 1513 01:26:31.680 --> 01:26:34.800 bit of inconsistent sometimes and a little bit of like 1514 01:26:35.960 --> 01:26:39.760 almost trying to do a little too much to try 1515 01:26:39.960 --> 01:26:40.600 a pass that. 1516 01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:46.119 This is what happens when you're trying to do multiple things. 1517 01:26:46.520 --> 01:26:51.079 So Jared, that was post game with Atlanta United and 1518 01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:53.359 Chattanooga with me and Maddy and Jason about what we 1519 01:26:53.399 --> 01:26:55.520 want to see in Birmingham. But let me go back. 1520 01:26:55.880 --> 01:26:58.439 We've been kind of breaking down each lane of traffic 1521 01:26:58.520 --> 01:27:04.359 involving Lte Lot and Landa United Middlesbrough. We went over 1522 01:27:04.359 --> 01:27:07.520 Middlesbrough's finances, win the op ed piece from Craig John's 1523 01:27:07.520 --> 01:27:12.079 This Morning over at the Gazette. Then it's Agent Latte 1524 01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:15.520 Lot and anybody else that they're chasing after knowing it. 1525 01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:17.560 Land United is over in lane five at the same 1526 01:27:17.560 --> 01:27:20.399 time that they're in lanes one through four. Where are 1527 01:27:20.439 --> 01:27:24.479 you right now when it comes to trying to get 1528 01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:27.960 this particular striker, this particular individual and get this line, 1529 01:27:28.159 --> 01:27:32.079 this over the line to have this pickup for the 1530 01:27:32.119 --> 01:27:35.039 five stripes here with Emmanuel Lattels, Where are you mentally 1531 01:27:40.199 --> 01:27:43.439 get it done? Damn it, get it. 1532 01:27:43.319 --> 01:27:45.600 Done or find something else? 1533 01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:48.399 Oh so you're an issue? Get off the pot mode? 1534 01:27:48.760 --> 01:27:51.479 Yeah, I mean it's dragged on for so long and 1535 01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:59.000 it feels like, yeah, man, it just feels like it 1536 01:27:59.319 --> 01:28:04.800 feels like it being dragged out intentionally by possibly multiple parties. 1537 01:28:06.600 --> 01:28:11.000 You know, you're you're waiting, you will You're you're like 1538 01:28:11.199 --> 01:28:15.279 you're waiting for everything to come to fruition in terms 1539 01:28:15.359 --> 01:28:18.760 of other offers coming in, which sounds like west Ham 1540 01:28:18.800 --> 01:28:20.640 will be one of them because apparently they're on cabral 1541 01:28:20.920 --> 01:28:23.720 So everything is just connected in its own little weird way, 1542 01:28:23.840 --> 01:28:25.920 but like no one else is really making a move 1543 01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:27.880 right now, and maybe they run this up to the 1544 01:28:27.880 --> 01:28:31.199 eleventh hour. They're trying to get as much money as 1545 01:28:31.279 --> 01:28:35.640 possibly can out of it. I don't know he I 1546 01:28:35.640 --> 01:28:39.399 guess my thinking on this personally is that he's still 1547 01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:40.560 twenty six years old. 1548 01:28:40.640 --> 01:28:43.479 I think a lot a lot. Let me check, I 1549 01:28:43.520 --> 01:28:45.640 think he's twenty seven. But yeah, that multipart. 1550 01:28:46.439 --> 01:28:50.000 Yeah, so maybe he goes like this is his shot 1551 01:28:50.119 --> 01:28:54.000 to make it to the top flight in a top 1552 01:28:54.039 --> 01:28:56.760 five league, and that if it doesn't hit, then it 1553 01:28:56.800 --> 01:28:58.720 doesn't hit. The problem is now, if you don't hit 1554 01:28:58.760 --> 01:28:59.079 on this. 1555 01:29:00.119 --> 01:29:03.199 You're right January first, ninety nine, so turned twenty. You 1556 01:29:03.319 --> 01:29:05.119 just turned twenty six, turned twenty six. 1557 01:29:07.880 --> 01:29:10.760 The thing is, man, like, if you miss on this, like, 1558 01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:13.159 let's say they don't get this deal done for whatever reason, 1559 01:29:13.159 --> 01:29:21.279 it falls apart and you don't do anything. Man, it's ye, 1560 01:29:22.039 --> 01:29:23.479 especially with the injury. 1561 01:29:23.159 --> 01:29:23.800 He just picked up. 1562 01:29:24.439 --> 01:29:30.479 Yeah, like, there's no guarantee you're gonna get, no guarantee 1563 01:29:30.479 --> 01:29:32.439 you're gonna hit that number again. And especially imagine a 1564 01:29:32.439 --> 01:29:33.439 Middlesbrough doesn't get. 1565 01:29:33.319 --> 01:29:37.119 Promoted, right, they brought people in MM hmm. 1566 01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:44.319 If they don't take this money, it feels like it's risky, 1567 01:29:44.399 --> 01:29:48.800 like to turn down. I know, the last report was 1568 01:29:48.800 --> 01:29:53.239 like eighteen million pounds. The totals have fluctuated and then 1569 01:29:53.560 --> 01:29:56.920 some people This is the inconsistency of the world because 1570 01:29:56.920 --> 01:30:00.840 some people report the total and some people report the 1571 01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:05.800 total guaranteed and then the escalators and incentives separately. This is 1572 01:30:05.840 --> 01:30:08.560 a similar issue. We have every support here. I mean, 1573 01:30:08.640 --> 01:30:12.199 we had this with in the NFL at the time 1574 01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:14.319 that it was worth four hundred million, like, well, yes 1575 01:30:14.359 --> 01:30:17.840 it was. If he hits every single possible thing. Like 1576 01:30:18.439 --> 01:30:32.199 the Kirk Cousins deal, it was really easy to. 1577 01:30:27.039 --> 01:30:28.199 Delineate what was what. 1578 01:30:28.399 --> 01:30:32.880 Yeah, yeah, it was really easy to It's really easy 1579 01:30:32.920 --> 01:30:37.279 to to like screw around with it, you know. So 1580 01:30:37.359 --> 01:30:38.680 I'm trying to get the way to put the system. 1581 01:30:38.680 --> 01:30:40.720 It's really easy to screw around with the numbers and 1582 01:30:40.800 --> 01:30:42.680 to make them say whatever you want them to say. 1583 01:30:42.880 --> 01:30:44.439 It's kind of the livest damn lives. 1584 01:30:44.960 --> 01:30:45.279 Kind of thing. 1585 01:30:46.560 --> 01:30:49.680 I just I want the deal gone. That's where I'm at. 1586 01:30:49.600 --> 01:30:56.000 With it the end. Yeah. So, coming in to. 1587 01:30:56.119 --> 01:31:01.079 Bart's question, No, I liked t A as a backup player, 1588 01:31:01.319 --> 01:31:04.000 A big fan of Jamal Tira. Jamal Tierra has not 1589 01:31:04.119 --> 01:31:07.399 shown me that he can stay healthy, yep, and stay 1590 01:31:07.399 --> 01:31:07.960 on the field. 1591 01:31:08.399 --> 01:31:09.239 Yeah, like. 1592 01:31:11.119 --> 01:31:13.960 Could not. That's not even trying to be mean man. 1593 01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:15.880 That is no, that's none. That's the number. 1594 01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:18.439 Yeah, he has not shown you that he can stay 1595 01:31:18.439 --> 01:31:21.039 on the field, and that is not a reliable player 1596 01:31:21.640 --> 01:31:25.119 when he is out there. Can he ratchet goals? Absolutely? 1597 01:31:25.399 --> 01:31:27.600 He cannot stay on the field right now. 1598 01:31:28.880 --> 01:31:34.600 And you you're looking at that particular position right now 1599 01:31:34.760 --> 01:31:40.199 as Jamal Tagashi son and the nine that you're trying 1600 01:31:40.239 --> 01:31:45.520 to chase, and if you have Maggie, if so, if 1601 01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:50.079 you have say Maggie, you're nine that you're chasing and 1602 01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:53.520 Saba and you know that Saba and Miggie are going 1603 01:31:53.600 --> 01:31:55.720 to do their thing and they're just gonna like float 1604 01:31:55.760 --> 01:31:58.800 and go free or what have you. In theory, then 1605 01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:05.680 you've got your midfield of click Slish, Fortune, midn Chuk 1606 01:32:06.640 --> 01:32:09.159 and whomever else wants to dive into that pile, and 1607 01:32:09.239 --> 01:32:16.479 your back line of of Hawkeye and uh Derek Williams 1608 01:32:16.520 --> 01:32:19.840 and Noah Cobb and Epha Morales fighting for minutes, Matthew 1609 01:32:19.920 --> 01:32:24.000 Edwards fighting for minutes, UH Stean Gregorson and Ronald Hernandez. 1610 01:32:24.520 --> 01:32:26.439 I mean you look at that attack, that nine. You 1611 01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:30.880 get that nine in place, and you're going to be 1612 01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:33.239 the anticipation is that there's going to be a lot 1613 01:32:33.239 --> 01:32:35.840 of goals scored with that front, at that front seven 1614 01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:36.760 at the very least. 1615 01:32:42.079 --> 01:32:50.600 Yeah, yeah. I guess my thing is is this continues 1616 01:32:50.640 --> 01:32:52.920 to drag on, Like why have you got Maga across 1617 01:32:52.960 --> 01:32:56.640 the line? At least came into your port last night? 1618 01:32:56.640 --> 01:33:00.239 Did the whole thing You've been negotiating with them? Though 1619 01:33:00.359 --> 01:33:03.399 you didn't pull the plug on this right, you didn't 1620 01:33:03.439 --> 01:33:07.479 pull the plug on Cabral, So somewhere along the line 1621 01:33:10.479 --> 01:33:12.520 you must have believed that you can get one of 1622 01:33:12.560 --> 01:33:15.359 these deals across the line. Something has led you to 1623 01:33:15.359 --> 01:33:20.199 believe that this is doable. If it doesn't get done, 1624 01:33:20.640 --> 01:33:23.159 I look forward to finding out where it broke down. 1625 01:33:25.279 --> 01:33:27.760 Was it the agent, was it the player? It sounds 1626 01:33:27.760 --> 01:33:31.560 like it wasn't Middlesbrough because I up until this week, 1627 01:33:31.640 --> 01:33:34.239 I would have thought Middlesbrough could have sat on it 1628 01:33:34.279 --> 01:33:38.520 to try and rash up interest. But now like as 1629 01:33:38.560 --> 01:33:41.720 of this weekly, especially the second half of this week, 1630 01:33:43.000 --> 01:33:46.600 they can't afford to wait. No windows closing. 1631 01:33:46.479 --> 01:33:48.520 Four days four days with the European window. 1632 01:33:48.880 --> 01:33:53.640 Yeah, and then MLS kicks open yep. Still really dumb 1633 01:33:53.680 --> 01:33:55.399 to me, Like, I don't know why we don't shame 1634 01:33:55.479 --> 01:34:02.119 the MLS window. Well, I don't know why our window technically, uh, 1635 01:34:02.560 --> 01:34:06.000 our window doesn't sync up better, just because it puts 1636 01:34:06.000 --> 01:34:07.920 some of the European clubs in a weird spot, and 1637 01:34:07.920 --> 01:34:10.000 an understandably weird spot where they're like, I don't want 1638 01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:12.039 to sell because now I can't after the third I 1639 01:34:12.039 --> 01:34:18.119 can't bring anyone in right. Middlesbrough up until this week, 1640 01:34:18.239 --> 01:34:19.720 you would have made sense for them to sit on 1641 01:34:19.760 --> 01:34:23.880 it to try and get a Premier League team or 1642 01:34:23.880 --> 01:34:28.079 three involved, but it doesn't look like that's happening. So 1643 01:34:28.119 --> 01:34:30.319 they got to if if they're gonna sell, if they 1644 01:34:30.319 --> 01:34:33.119 think he's gonna go, they got to move now. But 1645 01:34:33.159 --> 01:34:35.920 if he and the agent sit on it, everyone might 1646 01:34:35.920 --> 01:34:43.720 get screwed because if they sit on it long enough 1647 01:34:43.800 --> 01:34:46.359 like Middlesbrough and they take it, Middlesbrough is not gonna 1648 01:34:46.399 --> 01:34:49.640 have time to go get somebody right or negotiate. They' 1649 01:34:49.640 --> 01:34:51.439 gonna have to overpay for they want, which they'll have 1650 01:34:51.479 --> 01:34:52.119 a bunch of money. 1651 01:34:52.119 --> 01:34:54.720 So that's nice. Yeah, Well, but that bunch of money 1652 01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:56.800 may not be a bunch of money considering they're running 1653 01:34:56.800 --> 01:34:59.119 at a deficit and they've had folks to invest to 1654 01:34:59.159 --> 01:35:02.079 try to keep things a float. That twenty two and 1655 01:35:02.119 --> 01:35:04.079 a half will go a long way. I just wonder 1656 01:35:04.119 --> 01:35:07.159 what you know they're looking at strelitch from slav and Roslava. 1657 01:35:07.199 --> 01:35:08.600 I just wonder what the number is there? 1658 01:35:09.359 --> 01:35:11.399 I want you wonder if I tell them like a standby, 1659 01:35:11.520 --> 01:35:14.520 like hey, when this moves, that moves, these two were 1660 01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:23.000 connected kind of thing. But yeah, man, it's it's gonna 1661 01:35:23.039 --> 01:35:27.119 be weird, you know, like because because it also could 1662 01:35:27.359 --> 01:35:30.319 could could hinge on the player and the agent trying 1663 01:35:30.319 --> 01:35:32.359 to get more money or thinking we can all like 1664 01:35:32.439 --> 01:35:34.439 we're gonna go to the prem that's that's what we're 1665 01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:39.000 going to do. And that kind of level of called 1666 01:35:39.000 --> 01:35:40.840 the spade of spade. It's, you know, it's kind of 1667 01:35:40.880 --> 01:35:43.439 a little bit of humorous there of like infirmly believing 1668 01:35:43.439 --> 01:35:45.880 in yourself that you can be that guy to get 1669 01:35:46.079 --> 01:35:50.359 up to that flight. But if no one comes calm 1670 01:35:50.479 --> 01:35:51.359 for you, what are you gonna do? 1671 01:35:51.560 --> 01:35:51.800 Yep? 1672 01:35:52.720 --> 01:35:56.199 Also, what happens if you know, you struggle coming back 1673 01:35:56.239 --> 01:36:03.039 from this injury and you don't produce. What if you 1674 01:36:03.079 --> 01:36:08.479 don't see twenty million again on the offer, So there's 1675 01:36:08.560 --> 01:36:11.199 a lot for Atlanta, like Atlanta through their eggs in 1676 01:36:11.199 --> 01:36:14.920 this basket. Still don't know happened with Kyogo and Celtic. 1677 01:36:15.000 --> 01:36:16.439 That one's still very weird. 1678 01:36:16.680 --> 01:36:18.560 I know you're still looking at that one. 1679 01:36:18.880 --> 01:36:21.239 I'm still looking at that one because he went to 1680 01:36:21.359 --> 01:36:23.840 Rend with the aston Villa game in hand for Celtic, 1681 01:36:24.000 --> 01:36:27.000 like he apparently something about. 1682 01:36:26.760 --> 01:36:27.479 That was like. 1683 01:36:28.960 --> 01:36:31.680 They didn't overpay that much to get him immediately, Like 1684 01:36:31.720 --> 01:36:33.840 I'm surprised he didn't stay for the last Champions League 1685 01:36:33.840 --> 01:36:36.319 game for Celtic because that Celtic Aston Villa game had 1686 01:36:36.399 --> 01:36:42.079 waight to it for everybody. Something. I'm guessing something weird 1687 01:36:42.319 --> 01:36:46.880 happened there. It feels weird, But you threw a lot 1688 01:36:46.920 --> 01:36:51.039 of eggs in this basket and you threw your weight 1689 01:36:51.039 --> 01:36:52.439 behind trying to get this cross the line. If it 1690 01:36:52.479 --> 01:36:57.399 doesn't happen, both clubs and the player might be in 1691 01:36:57.439 --> 01:36:58.800 a weird situation coming up. Man. 1692 01:36:59.079 --> 01:37:02.159 Yeah, and we are. We are joined in the Friday 1693 01:37:02.199 --> 01:37:08.279 free for all by Bart Keeler, who's all right, we'll speak. No, 1694 01:37:08.399 --> 01:37:13.520 it's not there, it's not well. But no, we had 1695 01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:17.239 we had issues last time with Bart, and so it's 1696 01:37:17.319 --> 01:37:20.680 I don't know what's up with Bart and his Uh, 1697 01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:23.079 Bart may just have to I don't know, dude, I 1698 01:37:23.079 --> 01:37:25.279 don't know what's going on. Last time Bart was here, 1699 01:37:26.039 --> 01:37:30.119 he literally in his studio setting like he is now, 1700 01:37:30.680 --> 01:37:33.359 was not able to talk and I don't know why. 1701 01:37:33.720 --> 01:37:36.439 And so literally, well I heard something. It's like you're like, 1702 01:37:36.479 --> 01:37:39.800 you're switching. I know what we're gonna have to do. 1703 01:37:39.840 --> 01:37:44.239 We're gonna have to take Bart and like do something offline, 1704 01:37:44.359 --> 01:37:47.000 like when we're off the air. We're gonna have to 1705 01:37:47.039 --> 01:37:50.840 figure out, Okay, Bart, what the troubleshooting is because I 1706 01:37:51.000 --> 01:37:54.079 can't we can't hear you all of your conversations that 1707 01:37:54.119 --> 01:37:57.279 you've been having on the YouTube, off the YouTube and 1708 01:37:57.319 --> 01:38:00.359 the twitters. I can't hear you nothing. 1709 01:38:02.560 --> 01:38:04.319 While he figures that out. To Michael's point, what if 1710 01:38:04.319 --> 01:38:09.199 he comes here and struggles to injuries happened with a 1711 01:38:09.199 --> 01:38:16.399 lot of guys. You're betting on productivity, Like Gigi didn't 1712 01:38:16.399 --> 01:38:20.479 have the kind of injuries that he had before he 1713 01:38:20.520 --> 01:38:23.399 got here, and then they started popping up and you 1714 01:38:23.439 --> 01:38:25.039 were like getting those muscle injuries where it was like 1715 01:38:25.079 --> 01:38:27.039 he could go seventy five eighty minutes and then he 1716 01:38:27.119 --> 01:38:30.079 was like something was something was kind of sideways with 1717 01:38:30.119 --> 01:38:33.319 a tendon or a muscle or something another like here, 1718 01:38:33.319 --> 01:38:35.800 it's always a risk with every player, like every player 1719 01:38:35.840 --> 01:38:39.560 could develop those injuries. You want one, you want a 1720 01:38:39.600 --> 01:38:42.600 more recent or not more recent I should say an 1721 01:38:42.600 --> 01:38:44.840 older reference, but one that hits close to home for people. 1722 01:38:45.479 --> 01:38:49.640 Go look up the transfer marked game log for Tito 1723 01:38:49.680 --> 01:38:50.199 vi Jadva. 1724 01:38:50.439 --> 01:38:51.680 Oh yeah, when. 1725 01:38:51.560 --> 01:38:57.439 He left Atlanta, when he was healthy, he produced. He 1726 01:38:57.560 --> 01:39:01.319 was not very healthy, and it was little injuries. It 1727 01:39:01.359 --> 01:39:04.399 was muscle polls. It was like those kind of things 1728 01:39:04.399 --> 01:39:07.439 that you're like, oh, that's gonna be reoccurring. And then 1729 01:39:07.520 --> 01:39:10.279 he finally got healthy and towards a CEO. No, I 1730 01:39:10.319 --> 01:39:11.840 think he's going to Penyroll. 1731 01:39:12.720 --> 01:39:15.920 Yeah, I think that broke yesterday. 1732 01:39:16.000 --> 01:39:18.079 Yesterday, I think so he was gonna go to Tom 1733 01:39:18.119 --> 01:39:21.359 Lorenzo back where he came from originally before he came 1734 01:39:21.399 --> 01:39:23.960 to Atlanta, but something fell through and he's going to Penyroll. 1735 01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:28.880 But some guys like will be healthy and then they 1736 01:39:28.920 --> 01:39:33.039 will just hit a weird part, whether it's you know, age, 1737 01:39:33.119 --> 01:39:36.000 or whether it's just bad luck, whether something weird happens, 1738 01:39:36.039 --> 01:39:37.319 and injuries. 1739 01:39:36.880 --> 01:39:41.680 Just hit m free agent one year deal, Paeni Roll 1740 01:39:41.880 --> 01:39:43.720 and he's supposed to sign it today. 1741 01:39:43.880 --> 01:39:47.680 Like sometimes injuries just hit. It's weird, it's it's hard 1742 01:39:47.680 --> 01:39:52.760 to protect. So Derek sounds like the a player wants 1743 01:39:52.760 --> 01:39:55.319 to smoop, the agent's holding things up, situation, the player 1744 01:39:55.319 --> 01:39:57.520 down the age on the end of night. Maybe we 1745 01:39:57.560 --> 01:40:02.319 don't know, like it's going to be interesting watching how 1746 01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:06.119 it unfolds because you're getting reports from give Me Sport, 1747 01:40:06.439 --> 01:40:09.560 you're getting reports from I don't I don't know if 1748 01:40:09.560 --> 01:40:12.159 they're fan blogs out of England, out of Millsborough. 1749 01:40:12.479 --> 01:40:15.600 Yeah, that's why traditionally I'll try and go to what 1750 01:40:15.640 --> 01:40:18.479 Craig John's is saying out of the Gazelle. It's a baseline. 1751 01:40:20.159 --> 01:40:24.800 You're getting a lot of cross talk about who is who, 1752 01:40:24.960 --> 01:40:25.720 who's the onus? 1753 01:40:25.840 --> 01:40:30.039 On is done? Yeah, and that's the key now. And 1754 01:40:30.119 --> 01:40:32.239 Michael to your point, Michael's not a fan of fighting 1755 01:40:32.239 --> 01:40:35.800 a sign and an injured player, So I mean I 1756 01:40:35.840 --> 01:40:37.119 get it. Yeah, I get that too. 1757 01:40:37.239 --> 01:40:39.960 And and I think I think some of that frustration, 1758 01:40:40.039 --> 01:40:44.079 if you're Atlanta, was if we could have just gotten 1759 01:40:44.199 --> 01:40:46.800 this done when we wanted to get it done, he 1760 01:40:46.840 --> 01:40:49.279 wouldn't have played in that game. Yeah, you would have 1761 01:40:49.279 --> 01:40:50.600 had him on the plane here. 1762 01:40:51.279 --> 01:40:54.800 Yeah, but Michael Carrick has been one to sit there 1763 01:40:54.840 --> 01:40:58.720 and say, you know, player wants to play and I'm 1764 01:40:58.760 --> 01:41:01.520 not gonna I'm not gonna say no because he wants 1765 01:41:01.560 --> 01:41:04.239 to be here and fight for a promotion. Round two? 1766 01:41:05.720 --> 01:41:08.880 What's going on? Bart? Is this better? Yes? I think 1767 01:41:08.880 --> 01:41:11.439 I figured out the problem? John, what me? Let me 1768 01:41:11.760 --> 01:41:13.640 let me tell you this. No, it's not It's not 1769 01:41:13.800 --> 01:41:14.359 you or me. 1770 01:41:15.000 --> 01:41:17.960 Oh, it is the corporate world refusing to allow me 1771 01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:21.640 to use the microphone on my computer something. 1772 01:41:21.720 --> 01:41:24.399 So are you using you're using the business computer with 1773 01:41:24.439 --> 01:41:28.039 the studio setting? And well but I mean when you 1774 01:41:28.079 --> 01:41:32.520 were when you were trying initially, yes, okay, yeah, so 1775 01:41:32.720 --> 01:41:36.199 studio setting linked to your corporate overlords and they're like 1776 01:41:36.479 --> 01:41:41.359 not today, fam yea, so I think okay? So yeah, 1777 01:41:41.479 --> 01:41:43.479 uh it is. It is a bit of a Friday 1778 01:41:43.479 --> 01:41:47.039 free for all. And I know that you are corporate busy, 1779 01:41:47.319 --> 01:41:49.800 but so what what is on your mind here with 1780 01:41:49.840 --> 01:41:51.520 twenty minutes to go here in the show? What what 1781 01:41:51.640 --> 01:41:53.800 lane of traffic did you want to get into this morning? 1782 01:41:54.479 --> 01:41:56.319 Crystal done? We haven't talked about her. 1783 01:41:56.239 --> 01:42:02.039 Talk about strikers, Well, could we should talk about Crystal 1784 01:42:02.079 --> 01:42:05.479 dun uh an Janet Icelanger both getting moves over to 1785 01:42:05.840 --> 01:42:09.560 uh well Jeneta and island off the coast of Europe. 1786 01:42:09.720 --> 01:42:11.399 But yeah, Crustal done official to PSG. 1787 01:42:13.119 --> 01:42:13.239 Uh. 1788 01:42:13.760 --> 01:42:16.279 But I was, you know, we were talking when you 1789 01:42:16.319 --> 01:42:16.880 have to strikers, and. 1790 01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:19.880 I just had an overwhelming sense of things, anxiety about 1791 01:42:19.880 --> 01:42:21.279 if they were going to be healthier, if they're minky 1792 01:42:21.359 --> 01:42:23.840 toe is gonna somehow become disconnected? 1793 01:42:24.159 --> 01:42:30.159 So right, but Crystal dun picture, I don't understand this. 1794 01:42:30.399 --> 01:42:36.159 I'll be honest, Okay, Uh getting to the PSG for 1795 01:42:36.560 --> 01:42:40.079 something a couple to almost on hundred thousand I think 1796 01:42:40.079 --> 01:42:43.399 was the final number. Were from Gotham, you know, I 1797 01:42:43.439 --> 01:42:46.600 think you get it from like you want to keep playing. 1798 01:42:47.800 --> 01:42:50.600 I don't know PSG, but would be where I want 1799 01:42:50.640 --> 01:42:52.399 to just continue my career. I ending out of country 1800 01:42:52.399 --> 01:42:56.880 for the next three four years. But uh, this is 1801 01:42:57.000 --> 01:43:04.960 another examplan saying all along, John, we have talent in 1802 01:43:05.039 --> 01:43:05.479 this country. 1803 01:43:05.600 --> 01:43:06.159 We have talent. 1804 01:43:06.520 --> 01:43:09.760 Women's soccer in this country is not short on talent. 1805 01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:15.279 The women's national team not short on talent, and a 1806 01:43:15.359 --> 01:43:18.479 lot of your European teams understood that for a while, 1807 01:43:18.840 --> 01:43:21.319 but for some reason there just seemed to be some 1808 01:43:21.399 --> 01:43:23.119 sort of blockade. But now that they're willing to spend 1809 01:43:24.159 --> 01:43:26.199 just a tiny bit of money, John, they're able to 1810 01:43:26.239 --> 01:43:29.479 bring in players like this. And you know, I think 1811 01:43:29.520 --> 01:43:31.720 for Crystal and Jenna, they're kind of on opposite ends. 1812 01:43:31.560 --> 01:43:32.920 Of it their career. 1813 01:43:33.039 --> 01:43:35.760 Jenna needed, I don't know if you needed to move 1814 01:43:36.600 --> 01:43:38.479 from Gotham, although Gotham seems to be a place that 1815 01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:41.680 no one wants to be right now. And I think 1816 01:43:41.760 --> 01:43:45.079 she saw Arsenal slash. The WSL is a great chance 1817 01:43:45.119 --> 01:43:47.760 to play in a league that I think fits her 1818 01:43:47.800 --> 01:43:48.800 skill set a little bit better. 1819 01:43:48.880 --> 01:43:49.199 She's not. 1820 01:43:51.039 --> 01:43:54.960 She's not big, she's a tiny little thing. So maybe 1821 01:43:55.000 --> 01:43:56.560 going to the WSL she can play the league. It's 1822 01:43:56.560 --> 01:44:00.760 a little more conducive to her skill set than the NWSL. 1823 01:44:00.840 --> 01:44:04.479 But with with Crystal don I'm still good for her. 1824 01:44:05.520 --> 01:44:08.039 Hopefully she's getting that back. I know there's probably some 1825 01:44:09.039 --> 01:44:12.760 sort of family decision making going on there move to Paris, 1826 01:44:12.840 --> 01:44:16.359 but PS you could clut to be at that's positive. 1827 01:44:17.520 --> 01:44:21.239 Yeah, I will say this, what are you doing? When 1828 01:44:21.319 --> 01:44:23.319 we are off the air? Let me ask you that 1829 01:44:24.520 --> 01:44:32.119 are you doing more business e things. Do you know yet? Sure? Well, 1830 01:44:32.159 --> 01:44:34.479 because I also want to. I also want to. I 1831 01:44:34.560 --> 01:44:37.239 want to troubleshoot your corporate I want to troubleshoot your 1832 01:44:37.279 --> 01:44:41.800 corporate overlord problem. That's that's why I'm asking so separate, 1833 01:44:42.000 --> 01:44:44.279 separate thing. Oh then yeah, let's figure that out off there. 1834 01:44:44.840 --> 01:44:48.359 Yeah yeah, so off ye uh so yes, I know 1835 01:44:48.520 --> 01:44:52.359 that the uh the Crystal Dune. You have the Crystal 1836 01:44:52.439 --> 01:44:54.640 Dune transfer of the Jenna and I Swanger transfer. You've 1837 01:44:54.680 --> 01:44:58.399 got other transfers inside the WSL. You have the the 1838 01:44:58.520 --> 01:45:03.319 one point one attached and Naimi Gearma let me let 1839 01:45:03.359 --> 01:45:05.640 me ask you this, And I was gonna ask you 1840 01:45:05.720 --> 01:45:08.159 this on Monday, and we could probably expand on it 1841 01:45:09.479 --> 01:45:10.680 a little more on Monday. 1842 01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:16.000 Every well, not everyone but Pierre sure to get into Onday. John, 1843 01:45:16.520 --> 01:45:17.159 Yeah that too. 1844 01:45:18.079 --> 01:45:21.079 But when it comes to and I know, Alex, yes, 1845 01:45:21.119 --> 01:45:23.479 I'm in trouble shoot that. Yeah, I know. It's like 1846 01:45:23.720 --> 01:45:29.239 that's a good idea. There is a train of thought 1847 01:45:30.880 --> 01:45:38.520 that these egresses outside of the NWSL are going to 1848 01:45:38.680 --> 01:45:42.079 present an issue for the NWSL when it comes to 1849 01:45:42.560 --> 01:45:44.720 them and their talent pool and their league. All of 1850 01:45:44.800 --> 01:45:50.319 this American talent going overseas. We don't necessarily have these 1851 01:45:50.359 --> 01:45:53.479 discussions when it comes to the men's national team. Oh wow, 1852 01:45:53.560 --> 01:45:56.000 the men's national team as players going overseas and they're 1853 01:45:56.000 --> 01:45:58.960 playing overseas. But when the women's national team does it, 1854 01:45:59.399 --> 01:46:02.640 all the wusl Oh my god, the world's on fire, 1855 01:46:02.880 --> 01:46:08.239 and it obviously is an indictment on the NWSL. How 1856 01:46:08.520 --> 01:46:11.439 when when it comes to what you've been hearing, how 1857 01:46:11.520 --> 01:46:15.319 much of that have you heard? Versus Nah, fam, this 1858 01:46:15.479 --> 01:46:18.520 is really good for the NWSL. When you have these 1859 01:46:18.600 --> 01:46:21.159 players who are here and they're women's national team players 1860 01:46:21.479 --> 01:46:24.359 and they're going to Europe, it's a good thing. How 1861 01:46:24.439 --> 01:46:26.920 much have you heard it's a good thing versus, Oh 1862 01:46:27.000 --> 01:46:29.760 my god, the world's on fire. Where the NWSL is concerned, 1863 01:46:33.199 --> 01:46:33.640 I think. 1864 01:46:34.560 --> 01:46:36.159 First thing is the world is not on fire for 1865 01:46:36.199 --> 01:46:40.319 the WSL because I think when you look at the movie, 1866 01:46:41.039 --> 01:46:47.359 it's this TRANSFERMENTO specifically and a couple from last last year. Yeah, 1867 01:46:47.960 --> 01:46:51.760 it's not a huge exit. So that's the first thing. 1868 01:46:51.800 --> 01:46:54.680 That's all you got, you know, half the league leaving. 1869 01:46:55.640 --> 01:46:58.439 You also have it's procedy. You have a lot of 1870 01:46:58.479 --> 01:47:02.560 players from Europe or or other nations's coming to NWSL. 1871 01:47:02.920 --> 01:47:07.199 The real issue is what I'm seeing and here ring 1872 01:47:07.319 --> 01:47:10.680 and this is kind of the fear with a salary 1873 01:47:10.680 --> 01:47:11.039 cap to the. 1874 01:47:11.039 --> 01:47:14.600 League which has the most. 1875 01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:16.960 Talent available and is in the best women's soccer co country, 1876 01:47:17.119 --> 01:47:18.800 is that you're going to run up against the fact 1877 01:47:18.800 --> 01:47:25.439 that because NWSL has some transfer spending caps just like 1878 01:47:25.520 --> 01:47:30.039 we do in MLS, right, we have not ANNWSL. And 1879 01:47:30.159 --> 01:47:33.840 so specifically, when you're looking at Crystal dun going for 1880 01:47:34.439 --> 01:47:38.960 what was the number one point five ish basically is 1881 01:47:39.000 --> 01:47:44.319 what it comes down to do that the question is, yeah, 1882 01:47:44.439 --> 01:47:48.039 one hundred and forty thousand, sorry, one hundred and twy thousand, Yeah, 1883 01:47:48.439 --> 01:47:52.039 is that a number that an NWSL team wants to 1884 01:47:52.199 --> 01:47:57.079 spend to get her from Gotham. Now, I think Crystal 1885 01:47:57.159 --> 01:47:59.439 Dunal is a very good player. I think everyone does. 1886 01:47:59.520 --> 01:48:05.159 She has threaty too, So that's just where we're gonna 1887 01:48:05.239 --> 01:48:08.720 run into these questions and problems. In my opinion with 1888 01:48:08.880 --> 01:48:10.239 ny of you, with out now, with with Nice Wonger, 1889 01:48:10.319 --> 01:48:12.079 I think this is it's more of a. 1890 01:48:16.000 --> 01:48:16.319 Personally. 1891 01:48:16.319 --> 01:48:18.680 I think this is just you know, she want to go. 1892 01:48:18.840 --> 01:48:20.239 I think it made sense for her to go to Arsenal, 1893 01:48:22.079 --> 01:48:23.840 a team that maybe isn't going to use her primarily 1894 01:48:23.880 --> 01:48:28.680 as left back for stuff, because they have a left 1895 01:48:28.680 --> 01:48:31.800 back when the arsenal has Katy mc caabenly Fox. So yeah, 1896 01:48:33.039 --> 01:48:37.159 particularly h yeah, we're not We're not like hurting for 1897 01:48:37.319 --> 01:48:40.840 for us I facts. She has some history plans on 1898 01:48:40.880 --> 01:48:44.800 other positions. But when you look at Crystal Dunn and 1899 01:48:44.840 --> 01:48:48.279 I think probably probably this is really true for Andy Garma. 1900 01:48:48.520 --> 01:48:52.039 Is the transfer fees that they're going to command because 1901 01:48:53.520 --> 01:48:55.880 stem Garma's case, she's the best player that's playing soccer 1902 01:48:55.960 --> 01:48:58.600 right now. Now that's just my opinion, but it's backed 1903 01:48:58.640 --> 01:49:00.720 up by the fact that she's the best player who's 1904 01:49:00.720 --> 01:49:04.079 playing soccer right now. She was not I'm gonna get 1905 01:49:04.119 --> 01:49:06.359 that number from an NWSL team. So that's the problem, John, 1906 01:49:07.119 --> 01:49:09.640 And it's not, oh this is all is gonna be 1907 01:49:09.640 --> 01:49:13.079 bad as soccer? Can we have the there are how 1908 01:49:13.159 --> 01:49:19.800 many eight Division I college programs out there? John, Well, yeah, 1909 01:49:19.840 --> 01:49:22.600 he'll be well to find more players. Yeah, I mean 1910 01:49:22.680 --> 01:49:28.760 it might be so obviously there's not a Gurma or 1911 01:49:28.880 --> 01:49:32.119 Done that comes out out every single year, right, but 1912 01:49:32.880 --> 01:49:38.439 you can find replacement, replacement level players and then go 1913 01:49:38.560 --> 01:49:43.000 find starting level players to backfill which is lost in 1914 01:49:43.000 --> 01:49:48.840 Germa or done from the talent available and in the US, 1915 01:49:49.119 --> 01:49:53.000 but then also sells a lot of these clubs because 1916 01:49:53.039 --> 01:49:56.199 of the the mechanisms are able to go get a 1917 01:49:56.239 --> 01:49:59.560 player who might not be as expensive maybe from your 1918 01:49:59.560 --> 01:50:03.399 own from US. Oh yeah, and so you're just not 1919 01:50:03.600 --> 01:50:07.000 it just done pricing and end of yourself kind of 1920 01:50:07.000 --> 01:50:10.000 has a net transfer cap is basically what it comes 1921 01:50:10.000 --> 01:50:12.760 down to. And so if you're yeah, you're gonna you know, 1922 01:50:12.800 --> 01:50:15.880 if you're if you're seeing Diego a team that is 1923 01:50:16.000 --> 01:50:20.159 trying to reinvent itself after inventing itself. 1924 01:50:20.279 --> 01:50:22.239 Yeah, mm hm. 1925 01:50:24.880 --> 01:50:26.479 The one point one million now that you have to 1926 01:50:26.520 --> 01:50:29.880 play with, then your net transfer is really helpful. So 1927 01:50:30.039 --> 01:50:32.000 for for Go off of them getting on hundred and 1928 01:50:32.000 --> 01:50:34.880 forty hundred fift whatever that is in America second dollars, 1929 01:50:35.880 --> 01:50:36.520 that is helpful. 1930 01:50:36.600 --> 01:50:39.960 But again, again, were you willing to pay. 1931 01:50:39.840 --> 01:50:42.520 Crystal the money that she was gonna need to stay, 1932 01:50:42.520 --> 01:50:44.840 because I'm sure she still demands again get a chunk 1933 01:50:44.840 --> 01:50:47.640 of money she's willing to pay, not just transfer for you, 1934 01:50:47.760 --> 01:50:49.000 but her salary. So it just comes down to that 1935 01:50:49.079 --> 01:50:57.560 salary cap is eventually going to either demise then WSL. 1936 01:50:57.800 --> 01:50:59.159 How do you think that salary cap is going to 1937 01:50:59.239 --> 01:51:02.279 be a little bit of a problem with keeping the 1938 01:51:02.359 --> 01:51:05.439 best best players here or getting best best players to 1939 01:51:05.439 --> 01:51:12.159 come here again, I think if you are looking at 1940 01:51:12.199 --> 01:51:16.640 these clubs individual actually, you know Garma leaving San Diego. 1941 01:51:17.079 --> 01:51:18.079 This sucks for San Diego. 1942 01:51:18.600 --> 01:51:21.399 I don't think that necessarily makes them better or worse 1943 01:51:21.439 --> 01:51:24.560 because they were already in a bad place. Yeah, Gotham 1944 01:51:24.560 --> 01:51:28.279 seems to be having some individual problems in that locker room. 1945 01:51:28.319 --> 01:51:31.399 They've lost several players this offseason from the super team 1946 01:51:31.399 --> 01:51:35.039 they built, so it's just it's not a mass exodus Johns. 1947 01:51:35.079 --> 01:51:35.720 I'm not like, oh my. 1948 01:51:35.720 --> 01:51:38.640 Gosh, the sky is falling, but it is gonna be 1949 01:51:38.640 --> 01:51:41.439 a problem when you look at just the financial and 1950 01:51:41.880 --> 01:51:43.760 eventually they're gonna have to figure out how do we 1951 01:51:43.880 --> 01:51:46.680 adjust that after by the way they adjusted this like 1952 01:51:46.760 --> 01:51:47.439 less off season. 1953 01:51:48.640 --> 01:51:51.640 Yes, absolutely true.

Now 1983 01:53:18.680 --> 01:53:21.880 let's run through what we know, from where we know it, 1984 01:53:22.600 --> 01:53:24.199 and how do we know it? All right, So let's 1985 01:53:24.239 --> 01:53:25.720 go through all the moves. By the way, the Crystal 1986 01:53:25.760 --> 01:53:28.920 Dun transfer was a free and so she played between 1987 01:53:29.039 --> 01:53:32.920 Chelsea seventeen and eighteen on the WSL and played in 1988 01:53:33.159 --> 01:53:37.279 Washington Courage and Thorns. Left Gotham on Tuesday on a free. 1989 01:53:37.399 --> 01:53:41.119 So that's the Crystal Dun departure. Now let's get into 1990 01:53:41.359 --> 01:53:45.319 who's moving, who's moving and where they're moving too, and 1991 01:53:45.880 --> 01:53:51.640 we'll go domestically first. Laurel Faylor had a report about 1992 01:53:53.279 --> 01:53:58.239 signings for FC Cincinnati Hilberta flores You twenty two player 1993 01:53:58.279 --> 01:54:00.680 on contract through twenty seven options for twenty eight and 1994 01:54:00.760 --> 01:54:04.159 twenty nine. Pat Brennan at the Cincinnati Inquirer says that 1995 01:54:04.279 --> 01:54:07.640 the fee paid was two million, but Laurel failure reporting 1996 01:54:07.760 --> 01:54:13.479 on that as well this morning. So looking at things domestically, 1997 01:54:13.680 --> 01:54:17.479 the Armstrong move to West Brom did happen, so Vancouver 1998 01:54:17.640 --> 01:54:24.199 to West Brom. Also, Jovan Miyadovich is joining Luvin on 1999 01:54:24.359 --> 01:54:28.479 loan until the summer from NYCFC so club record signing, 2000 01:54:29.640 --> 01:54:31.920 and it looks like he is heading on loan to 2001 01:54:32.079 --> 01:54:36.720 Leuvin until the summer, so cf you want to keep 2002 01:54:36.760 --> 01:54:38.960 him pushing for a loan with no purchase. They are 2003 01:54:39.079 --> 01:54:43.760 still high on his talent. According to Tommy Scoops, All 2004 01:54:44.000 --> 01:54:47.199 Caps got a bid from FC Copenhagen for Roman Burkey. 2005 01:54:47.920 --> 01:54:53.680 According to other published reports and those including farzum A 2006 01:54:53.760 --> 01:54:59.840 Ballasaini and bid was rejected final year of his deal. 2007 01:55:00.119 --> 01:55:03.479 Is where Burkie is right now with All Caps so 2008 01:55:03.720 --> 01:55:07.279 Burkey being chased by f C Copenhagen, No was the 2009 01:55:07.359 --> 01:55:11.800 answer currently. Also, well, let's see if there's anything else 2010 01:55:11.840 --> 01:55:14.079 that has happened this morning. Once again, we talked about 2011 01:55:14.119 --> 01:55:18.479 Jeendurn yesterday. The transfer fee now for Chicago Fire full 2012 01:55:18.600 --> 01:55:24.600 value thirty point seven million dollars thirty point seven million dollars, 2013 01:55:24.720 --> 01:55:28.560 so that is big for them. And obviously we're going 2014 01:55:28.600 --> 01:55:31.000 to be keeping an eye on Emmanuel ltte Lot and 2015 01:55:31.119 --> 01:55:34.439 what's going on involving at Landy United. Four days left 2016 01:55:34.479 --> 01:55:37.239 in the window. Skipping to our buddy Ben Jacobs, it 2017 01:55:37.479 --> 01:55:42.199 is Lester's will Alvis adjoining Cardiff on loan. Ipswich confirming 2018 01:55:42.720 --> 01:55:45.039 Luke Wolfenden a new two and a half year deal. 2019 01:55:45.880 --> 01:55:48.760 Emory says Ali Watkins wants to stay at Aston Villa, 2020 01:55:50.079 --> 01:55:53.680 quoting Emory this morning from his press conference, the commitment 2021 01:55:53.720 --> 01:55:56.640 of Ali Watkins with us is huge. Some players prefer 2022 01:55:56.720 --> 01:55:58.720 to leave and some except to stay here and commit 2023 01:55:58.760 --> 01:56:00.720 with our challenges. One of them is All Watkins. He's 2024 01:56:00.720 --> 01:56:02.960 happy to stay here. We ask him how he's feeling 2025 01:56:03.039 --> 01:56:05.800 every day and year, and he is happy here. He 2026 01:56:05.920 --> 01:56:10.119 is being pursued for a great deal of money. Arnest 2027 01:56:10.119 --> 01:56:13.000 Slutt mentioned on most of the law's future. Everybody wants him, 2028 01:56:13.000 --> 01:56:15.800 including us. We want him to extend. That is clear. 2029 01:56:15.840 --> 01:56:17.439 I'm not surprised sawd he want him, but I wouldn't 2030 01:56:17.439 --> 01:56:19.800 be surprised if other countries want him as well. And 2031 01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:24.640 that's just the quick quote. Ipswich confirmed Wes Burns suffered 2032 01:56:24.640 --> 01:56:26.720 a torn acl against Liverpool. He's out for the rest 2033 01:56:26.760 --> 01:56:28.960 of the season. That's a big loss for Kieren McKenna 2034 01:56:29.399 --> 01:56:33.600 as they are trying to stave off relegation. Barcelona confirmed 2035 01:56:33.640 --> 01:56:35.399 Govi has signed a new deal keeping him at the 2036 01:56:35.399 --> 01:56:40.159 club until twenty thirty.

And I think I 2211 02:07:22.279 --> 02:07:26.560 probably just rocketed past it in the timeline. I wish 2212 02:07:26.600 --> 02:07:29.399 I could. I wish there was a function where you 2213 02:07:29.479 --> 02:07:32.880 could sit there and go, you know, somebody said something 2214 02:07:32.920 --> 02:07:35.319 and you could do a search.

Young player development, maybe a little cleaner play. 2216 02:07:39.000 --> 02:07:43.800 And that was why I played the element from the 2217 02:07:44.560 --> 02:07:47.640 full time report with me and Maddie and Jason. I 2218 02:07:47.840 --> 02:07:50.960 want to see more forward play, more forward engagement.

You want 2222 02:08:00.319 --> 02:08:04.720 to keep possession, and I know that Ronnie Dila wants. 2223 02:08:04.920 --> 02:08:07.760 Ronnie Dila said I got bored at times. Don't play 2224 02:08:07.760 --> 02:08:10.000 as much backward, go forward, go after it. You know 2225 02:08:10.079 --> 02:08:11.600 those kinds of thing. I want to see that kind 2226 02:08:11.640 --> 02:08:15.520 of development and as if hey, if there's a shot, 2227 02:08:15.600 --> 02:08:19.880 take it. But my biggest thing not as much backward, 2228 02:08:20.319 --> 02:08:23.680 continue working forward when it comes to the offense.
