 Welcome to ToffeeTV Listen, we know it's the summertime. It's the time for transfer rumours all over the shop lots of Good bad and I'll do it definitely definitely ugly ones knocking around in there all over the place We used to say it was all newspapers, but now the internet is the worst every day on Twitter It's I think it's the journalists top of two do it is one five and seven you always see Try and bring a big story out hitting that peak time for engagement and clicks It's horrendous. We're gonna sign steer you through what we think of the way. I mean, let's be honest. We're no better We're basically making a show out of all the out of all the transfer rumours, but you know what? We'll have a go. I'm joined by Bailey. You'll have seen him before if you're over on patron and He joins us quite regularly For football and other from football and other reasons This video is sponsored by one football one football's app makes it easier to find all the latest scores stats Transfer rumours and news all in the one place to download the one football. I click the link in the description. So Do you find it worse when it's like a way when it's not a well-cooked year or not a euro's year that the transfer rumours just get more Intense yeah intense and just I'm just silly. Yeah, and no because Because I'm obviously from the modern generation of being brought up with smartphones and stuff I've never I've never been in an era where I can't escape it. Yeah, so no matter if there's if there's Suppose with the euros and the woke up and stuff you do get a breather period Which was nice. I think I'm quite a big fan of the woke up You can just shut off from it for a while and everyone just switches off for it But that's once in a blue moon, but that's once every four years or two Yeah, so I don't know it completely depends on the state of the league that you're in obviously because we're in the Premier League There's a lot of clubs that are going to be Way more engaged and involved than normal. Obviously you're in United. You're talking top them now They've got the stadium sorted Potentially Chelsea dependent on whether they actually believe that they've got a transfer man or not which batters my head Um Obviously Manchester City now they've lost Vincent company. We're probably the least likely if you don't know I'm a Liverpool fan But we're we didn't want to mention a piece of it. I'm able to admit it But I thought I thought I'm a very level-headed It's fine. It's fine. It's good to have that. It's good to have that, you know, I Won't be doing a show would you next week? It's good. No, no, it's good to have both sides of of the Colleen Mental state No, but my point was like we we obviously had a very active summer last year because we had very glaring obvious areas or areas We needed to to fortify Whereas we're pretty much there now so from it for from a Liverpool standpoint It's more sort of looking at everyone else and saying so how are you gonna catch us up in terms of like us and Manchester Yeah, that's what city did last year. I wasn't a city did that Exactly the same thing last year what you do how'd you build on what on not perfection, but Ticked all the boxes, haven't you and obviously they only made they've made one 60 million pounds so on in every avmares and they just went Sweet we'll go into the next season and obviously played a lot, but Bernardo Silver got a lot more game time and stuff But I suppose you hit sort of doing what? Spares have done for what three like years now where it's a case of going well, we've got this team Okay, it might be the best. Okay for city of the art. You're not that far behind It's about this team getting better because this is what this is what we sort of forget, isn't it? It's you have a team and it's good, but it can get better Yeah, people players will get better if they're at the right age. Yeah, they will get better You know, you know, we've got plays who will get better. You've got plays We'll get better. You've got plays were really really good But the young and they'll automatically get better people learn their positions better people learn from experience There's all those things as well both for some teams quite a lot of teams. You still need to buy It's funny that you're someone that you're that generation where you can't escape because it's the on the internet At least it's free true like my to pay for it. We had to pay for it It's like and it was all Bollocks, yeah, like, you know club call and and all these team talk and all these phone lines That was just there premium life phone lines was just there to to the hook you in through telly text I mean, you don't even know a telly. I remember early telly text Especially button on sky. That's like telly text Yeah, and you have to like shit and go on there And if you run like the ITV ones you get the adverts and you'd be like straight on the phone ever linked with star Striker or ever about and you get on then you would just Literally would be you'd be had off for five minutes by like a story to have nothing, you know, like they put a par the puff Pieces on like what the what like the club website? Yeah, like that. Okay, you know Well, yeah, like one of the players who ever he's been on holiday and he's been telling us all about it. It's like Yeah, I see waiting and you're waiting and you're waiting. Oh, yeah I haven't been linked with a striker and then that'd be it and like after 10 minutes you got a hundred pound fine bill. Exactly. Yeah, sorry So yeah, so you at least you get it for free, but but but it is it is wild Let's get let's get into them. It's got on there the hottest transfer talk. We'll see Like you mentioned there's a lot of clubs in flux at the moment You've got the likes of Manchester United. You've got Barcelona Looks like they can be getting a new manager never mind. You play it. I think so You've got Real Madrid. Yep You know everyone's just doing the business you go to Italy You've got the likes of Inter Milan because they're gonna be in the champions next year So they're you know, they'll be looking to buy big you've got the immense of Ajax Where everyone will be looking to a dare players So I and with having no well cup or your nose. I think there's gonna be a lot of movement. I think so I think there's gonna be a lot of movement. It's it's the Some of the teams like you say like, you know, if I be the biggest one this summer will be the ones that are so far Beyond where they need to be or where they consider themselves where they should be It's being the most successful club in England where and they've just spent six years basically just regressing They've got six years of problems to fix in a manager that's you know They've only recently employed and it'll be really telling to see where they go with it But again, it's like brown Madrid like I've seen that you know They're they're planning on gaining like 300 million euros worth of out goings from selling some of their players And it's like that's the brand would don't do that I'm a good or a buying club not selling club. And that's the other thing about it, isn't it? That's the flip side of this Manchester United Real Madrid Barcelona because of FFP they'll be selling big so all that those players That creates that market in the next to you down. Yeah, we are part of it You know ever the part of that It's that then suddenly you go, you know what we've got we could get that player who you never ever, you know So my Garth Bell is getting touted around Your could could end up being playing for a second tier team in your I mean I read the piece This morning saying he's quite happy to sit like golf because they own something like a hundred and five million He's like you pay me or I stay I'll play golf like you said them So but he could definitely go down to a second tier teams So there's a lot of quality plays of Barcelona's a lot of quality plays at Real Madrid There's a lot of players at Manchester United who could who could fill those second tiers. So suddenly you get They all get an improvement. So I just think this could be this could be huge I think it could be one of the biggest winners we've seen yeah for a while and one of the biggest names Obviously that comes out like hottest prospect of the minute in terms of centre-back. He's ties to lit. Yeah, who of course Iax captain has come out and has been a fantastic sort of out of fantastic season with them Obviously really unlucky in the in the Champions League against Spurs Issues looks okay. He's 19 years old and he's he looks he already looks like he's gonna be the next best center After ten years to come obviously because he's got so much talent and promise and obviously he said Come out in an interviews and said, you know, I don't know what about my future I'm gonna go away and play the league cup Well, what's the nation's league and then just take two weeks off to think about it But the two biggest teams in for him are Barcelona obviously were the original they've got a huge link with with Dutch players, especially, you know Guys name is always slips of mind. It was most famous Dutch player There you go I'm sorry Because there is a natural in between Iax and Barcelona because of Cruyff and They'll go there and I thought the league was nailed on for Barca. Although it to be fair first I thought he was just nailed on to stay back. Iax. I didn't think he was gonna leave because I Didn't think I actually be looking to sell that many people, you know, they've already left The young go to Barcelona. There's talk of plays like Nere's leaving You know that so two or three I thought I thought being 19 he would say, you know, I'm the captain of the club Hmm, I asked her and throughout. I'll give these another year or maybe another two years Mm-hmm and help keep this together for another couple years and see where we could go We're gonna just won the Dutch champion. Yeah, yeah, he haven't won for a while I'm just the first time four years. Yeah, so I thought he'd want to build on top of that But Barca and United and it's been very strong for United in the last couple of days and obviously we've had all the the social media sort of games being played so Things like he's followed a lot of man United players on Instagram Suddenly the classic. Yeah, but that is classic though, isn't that's the things that people now look for, you know we're in a generation of People I remember when we signed Romelu Lukaku and I remember that day people were could what were following the plane did find the plane Yeah, did it's going to get a guess and said right he he must be on this plane And therefore it's flying to Liverpool and and it's one of them where if you get it, right Happen with Van Dyke. Yeah, but if you get it wrong You're just literally following someone and we've had I think we was there's a little one last summer Wasn't it where everyone's seen a plane and you follow it. It meant it was nothing We had that with number for care. Yeah, who obviously it turned out that it was he did come to Liverpool He didn't have a medical but obviously it fell through at the the final hour because of his knee But it is mad like that stuff and I was I was in your camp. I thought, you know He's come out and said he loves Iax. I just the only club that he loves. This is boy a club and I agree, I think if If he is this sort of this guy that really does love that club why not stay a while But then equally I feel like I actually just gonna have exactly what happened to them like what happened to Monaco You know where that that the whole heart of that team got ripped, you know with Fabinho and Mbappe and Delights to those and they just they just fell away So what I think this is still it looking at it and being this is probably my window to go I see if you keep Frankie Dion going as well going to Barcelona to play with him as well it was all go for Barcelona and then in the last couple of days, it's come out that Delights agent has said bass when around meeting the demands I think he wanted I think the boss we're gonna pay him about 150,000 pounds a week and United came in and said we'll pay 250,000 pounds a week doing what to be fair is you know, it's only real bargaining power anymore, isn't it? Is is that they can pay big wages and it's it's then put Barcelona really hard position because they have a wage structure and like United They haven't done what Sanchez with what they've done with Sanchez. They have to keep all the players happy I think it's only Messi and Suarez that are on over 150 grand a week to bring a guy in who's 19 To play center half and you completely mess up the status quo I think it has put it's put a sort of a stick between this transfer at the minute It's gonna be exciting to see what happens in the next two weeks and Barcelona need more players as well They need more players. They need another center forward You know Suarez is not getting any younger and and they will have to deal with FFP Not a club that they don't have a rich benefactor They're a membership club you get most of the they get all their money through Sponsorships and the merchandise they sell and those kind of things so and obviously the grand the capacity of the grand That's gonna be really interesting one I think I just said Manchester United will throw all the money on him, but it's whether He feels what his legacy is but again, it's that window of opportunity as well. Does he think that? That he this might be his only window book Do it's gonna be very telling because I think if he goes to United It will be very clear that money is a big factor for him And of course at 19 if someone throws 250 300 grand a week, he'll be like How can you turn that down then equally if he's looking as a guy who's got his looks like he's got his head Screwed on really cares about football and his own personal progression as a footballer You'd think that I think why wouldn't you go to Barcelona and play next to you know Pika who's been one of the best centre backs in the last 10 years with Messi and For me, I don't what do you how do you see it pan out? Would you see more likely to Barthes Roy? Can you do you know, you know how to attempt him? I think the problem with Barthes and they've got a lot of Plates to spin at the moment. The manager is another issue. I don't think that I mean Don't necessarily matters for the player But I just think with a lot of plates of spin that could allow man United to nip in and just grab him if I was here, man just I don't think he'll make a decision till like you just said he's got this he's got the nation's Cup thing then he'll have a few weeks off and then maybe he'll take his time So and that that's that's the problem there I think as well is that I think Benches United and atoriously known for being a club that get their business done before they go away on preseason Yeah, and I think they go away July same as Liverpool so That's Five weeks to get this done. Obviously, they've got other things lined up with like Daniel James potentially coming in obviously I think his father passed away. So that that got that got delayed for a while But they're gonna have to I think so should I said he wants six or seven signings done and to do that in a space of five weeks Especially such high profile signers is delete times not on their on their side But it's gonna be that's gonna be I think the sign of the summer where we get still it personally, but Staying at United Pogba and the Haya In the state of affairs that Manchester United are in that's probably their two biggest assets at the minute I think Pogba has still got three years left on his contract as in his last year He's refused to sign a new contract Do you think this is the time that the higher and Pogba jump ship? I'd sell Pogba You would I'd sell him because I just think he's a awful influence. Okay. I'd sell Pogba. I'd sell the car Who yeah, definitely I've said listen that I remember doing a video on ball street when with Steven house and Some of the car coup when he was still ever to when he was signing from on United I said I said to me you'll be a fantastic gold scorer, but he'll be in our bed. He'll turn out in our bed and I got laughter You know because his house an interview need to be no, no, but it's not it's not that it's the arrogance of thinking just because a Player signing for a bigger club that somehow his attitude will change and his attitude hasn't changed what so ever in fact It might have even been more inflated because he's at a big club And I don't think he helps and I don't think Pogba helps and I think The car could go into Milan could be a really good fit with concierge. I think I think that looks Very likely at the minute, but Pogba. I mean, I think this is a really interesting one because Where would he go? Do you think he would go to Barcelona as well? Real Madrid Personally, I think it came out today that they've valued him at 138 million pounds and obviously that it came out We did patented that with Sadio Mane. We said we I think we've valued him at 200 million pounds. I think that we said if you took to Put off the likes of sit down Yeah, exactly And then it that was what we said to round Madrid because it doesn't come out in the past and said he really likes Sadio Mane and we said 200 million pounds. They were like, whoa, no chance. So this is either This is either them saying this is your price pay it because I think If it's to be believed that round we're gonna be shipping 300 million pounds worth of talent away Who are they replacing it with and I think Pogba would probably be the first name on Zidane's team sheet if I'm honest and I think that I Know a lot of United fans that really want to keep him Strangely and because I can't get me around it. I've reached he does seem like a toxic influence. He seems like Lukaku's gone there and had the influence of Pogba on him And it's really not worked his favor as a guy who was he worked really hard for Everton from what I saw And I don't and again it plays into this this this window of opportunity They've got they've got five weeks realistic to get business done Obviously, they've got if it's to be believed that they don't do business when they're away on preseason If you're gonna sell a guy who's so important to your team You need time to to get people in and it's whether they're there factor in these big signings I'd delete and I thought Bruno Fernandez that they've been linked with Into into the equation and maybe they've already decided that he's going but It's a strange problem was a strange one for me. I I personally think he's gonna stay from honest, I I could see him staying because he's he's so influential and because Financially to them He's so important. She's the big market impact. He's just a big adidas poster. Isn't it the end of the day? You know, we've seen that when he signed and But I think if the manager really wants to stand for his authority on the dress room he gets rid of them I think that's that would be my outfit. I think poker was fitting really well around with it Obviously having sedanism as his coach would Would Yeah, I think he was French icon. Yeah, I mean I've seen this one with with Benzema Benzema calls Sudanese big brother and you know, they've never had a problem You know the understand each other and he's a damn would understand pop, but it's Popper I don't think it's a bad bad kid as such. I don't think he Is more of a victim of his own success, isn't it? Yeah, he's just he just gets Court open stuff. I mean, I think he hasn't helped this football that that he doesn't know how to just get his head down and Get all my games of football at times. He does he's Becomes such a personality like you say he's become such an icon for Marketing and for advertisement. He's become bigger than himself. Yeah I think go into someone like Sudan where as a French player You've got a look at down as one of the one of if not the best player that's ever played for your nation And that's probably what proper needs. He needs a guy. He didn't get on the marino whatsoever If you didn't get on the marino, is he really gonna listen to soul shy or a guy who's not really proven at all as a manager to go To a guy who's won champion two champions. I don't know if it's two or three It's two these champions. He's won and then he's literally the icon of your nation You can't really argue with him because he's down. I'll just be like well I'm a four or four or five times a player you ever work. So I think that probably does need a reality check and I think Soul shy to be honest. I think what so should I need is to bring players in who are like him Who like like Daniel James who are young up and come in need time to adjust the same way soul shiders But we'll work for the badge. Yeah And to get rid of like you say is Sanchez, Lukaku, Pogba These players who think they're bigger than United get a good wedge for them and reinforce them with players who are talented But also players that will work hard. That's I think how social is going to look at the way they've done business Look at the players they've got no thing for all the players they've got There's no one in that squad that I can see that feels like they're more important than the football club Yeah, no, there's no like big-time Charlie's and they're all down to a kid and anyone does Anyone does have a problem We'll get dispatched and we'll talk about what's about one of them a little bit later But Pogba, yeah I could see going the higher with the having a year left on his contract if he's death if he definitely turns around and says I'm not staying it that'll be an interesting one to see what they do because Is his worth on the pitch more important to his worth at the end of the season if you get nothing for him That's something you've got a balance out as something you used to look at that and say well I'd rather have a player for a season. Yeah, I get what I get from them And let them go for nothing. Yeah, 60 million or whatever for them, which would be it's basically nothing in terms of what he's telling you for rods exactly so I don't know. I don't know with the hair. It's it's a I still think we haven't had them though. I still think we haven't had to get him if he wants him Palestine's a matter of being other than going on him as well I think PSG is probably the most likely place because obviously brand-new recently signed Coutoir I don't I'm not really convinced by that at all though. I still think that they'd get with the Coutoir You think I can see Coutoir Ended up at Man United. I really could be mental. Yeah, I don't think he likes him I don't think he likes him as a goalkeeper I don't think he settled. I don't think he ever wanted them They always wanted the hair and he was just like you have to get a goalkeeper in Interesting point. Yeah, just don't think he's ever settled and the early you can get a player out The better you know what? Well, that's it You make a good case there because obviously the big question is if you leave if you're selling Daya Top two top three best goalkeepers in world football on his on his days the best, but Who do you replace him with? I've seen I've seen names thrown around of just sort of guys that That you train up to be to his level and it's like you can't replace a guy that's Two season that they finished second. He saved them something like 17 points like he Makes such a difference in goal We've we've seen our black sign the new contact that the classic oh, yeah, and they stay in the process of having big Overhaul overhaul as well. So I can't see him no matter what I can't I can see katoa making a move in and just a Just think some clubs just don't care. They just chain players. Hmm. Well, we're definitely one of them. We're a league way We're very Obviously listen all football clubs have an identity and there's a travelism But in terms of players we seem we're a lot worse than other countries like, you know in Italy Top players always end up playing for all of the top clubs. Yeah, doesn't happen as much here. It's happened a little bit more in that few years In Spain players could play for Real Madrid and Barcelona and okay There's a stigma, but as long as one doesn't go to the other there's never really a hatred And I think I could I could see coach what easily come coming back to the Premier League and playing for Manchester United I don't know. Yeah, and I think that I could very easily go to PSG obviously with with Befond obviously ageing big time. Yeah, I think you could go. Let's just stick with Real Madrid for a minute Okay, so see Joe Ramas has come up and basically said he wants a free transfer so he can go to China Yeah, I just think that's a larious last year was the absolute darling of I mean he is the darling of Real Madrid You know captain and and this year he's again. I just wonder what is it that thing of? He knows his time is up. He knows there's a big overhaul coming. So he's like, no, I just want to go now That would that I know listen. I know he's not Liverpool fans favor playing away but that would seem such a weird ending to What has been such an amazing career at Real Madrid is I give I think personally Sega Ramas is the best centre back. I've ever seen obviously I'm only 21 So he moved from severe 2005 I believe so from my from Seven from the age of seven onwards Ramas has been in the conversation as the best centre off in World Football So it's mad that he's only 34 as well I see the state was quite old for a center after to think how long he's been at the top level it did it did come as a surprise to me and it's it's I Think you're right. I think it's the case that Dan's come in and he's like None of you are safe. Not one of you are safe and Especially showing that it's his disparity that he's got with with bail and I think there's a there's that core of that midfield You know, there's like your your mod rich. She's going to keep him If you think that did they just sign? He's the guy that you look at your bitch. I believe yeah the over from stuck out Yeah, really really hot prospect. So he's but he's and you look at any start in this build already. So I be I Don't know because I don't know if it'd be Almost like the cheeks way out. Obviously if he went to China he'd get stupid amounts of money and whether he's asked about that But Ramas always to me is always seemed like a guy who's Would died for the cause obviously like I say as much as it pisses me off that what happened in the Champions League last year It's just a shit house. That's just who he is We love Luis Juarez for that He's got an elite mentality and he'll do anything it takes to win and I applaud him for that So I don't really hold too much against Sergio Ramos, but to go to China like he's got you know, it's written all over it You know, if they can't get deleted, it's like quick fix. That's what we do like same as Sanchez We will get a guy and it fills a hole same as Ibrahimovich for a season or two And then we'll deal with it when the when the problem arises, but Yeah, strange one that come out of the blue. It just shows you know that the power That sedan is and by going back He obviously felt this time last year that he didn't have that yeah And then he knew that there was going to be a massive rebuilding job But knew that if he a smart man if he knew he obviously knew at that point that he couldn't go in Into see the chairman say right. I want all this money Mm-hmm, and I want to get rid of like these as well Yeah, like the presence come out and said he loves Gareth Bale He's you would love Ramos. Yeah, we will obviously love all these different players Where's the dance like no no we need to move this on now in fact We're probably a year behind and the Champions League is covering up over and up the cracks. Yeah So I think that's really interesting now that he's come back and gone right I do have the power and I think he probably got the power to say You know, I can still walk out any time I want to as well Yeah, you can hold that over the manager You could say you want this to happen I can walk out if you don't want to stop I'm sorry, I can walk out at any time Yeah, you've got to put up then the drama of trying to bring all these people in and bring a new manager It's just it's an anxious to very good manager Like I say, he's got the right mix you've seen You know if we like to Frank Lampard at Darby likes to see him down at Rangers to like big iconic Footballers taken on teams and whilst they've all done well respectively to take round Madrid to two Champions League finals and win them both Huge credit to him. Of course he had Ronaldo, but I think he's incredibly smart in the ways handled it I think he saw Ronaldo was going and he was like, you know, you say you're not giving me what I want to be left It all capitulated more they went through two managers and they they were basically on the needs to bring him back Yeah, because of the what it what he gave them. So, yeah, I Will see Let's leave the manager to the bottom. Okay This is interesting to me interest them on yet again for it for ever Tony and so West Ham apparently rather 18 million pound bid rejected for Gomez A lot of the talk from G Gomez towards the end of the season was space Okay, a lot of ever Tony's get a little bit worried about it bass You know is Think she'll stay 11 It's not you know not at the money isn't you know, necessarily. No, she said you had money I think that he'll stay 11. I am a little bit more open-minded in terms of I I probably see everything glass half Full and I'd look at it and go, you know what? He's a footballer You can do whatever he wants. He's on loan at everything He owes ever to nothing, but you put all the other factors into it of him moving from Valencia to Barcelona He didn't have a good time at Barcelona. He admitted he had mental health issues of Barcelona He came to Everton and suddenly he found or he seemed to find peace peace of mind Happy fun himself seems happy find himself Got involved massively with Everton community He did a lot of things like he did like a hugathon where people paid the 10 Just give them all he's a gorgeous man Let's be honest. He's tremendous. We all Cheap So Tottenham you looked at it and that from my point of view I looked at Tottenham and think of well Tottenham I like a club like Everton. All right, they're doing brilliantly well in Champions League final They've got a new stadium, but from the point of view They still they still feel like a very grand football club like they will they don't buy massive players. They buy Well, they haven't bought anyone for a while More as a last-minute is more in the buy players that help them. They keep the squad tight Mm-hmm and for me if he had a shit down, let's say or is he gonna sit down with Pochettino Pochettino with the script said some listen, this is what I want from you I I would look at it and say that would probably be enough to convince Andre Gomez to go there Okay, you know, he's been at Everton for a year, but that's that's not again That's like because he's on loan it'll be it wouldn't be his house and though be temporary You could easily just say what you find you've played in the Premier Do you want to come and play for Tottenham? There's no big you're not gonna be this big Luxury sign and where we've we've go over the top of it. You can be part of the squad You're gonna play a lot of games because Tottenham gonna be involved in all the competitions. Mm-hmm. I could see that him being all over that Then this river comes out or this story comes out over the weekend that West Ham are suddenly battling for him and Like good good like publications like the time saying oh, they're now favorite to sign him. It's like what? What West Ham? Are you on crack? We're like really West Ham. You're you you're writing this and you think this is real To do because I've seen obviously a handful of Gomez obviously in both the derbies Do you play in the Everton Derby at Goodison? You know, he definitely played at Amfield. Yes. Yeah, so I remember I'm feeling was really good And he looks he looks from what I've seen and we had Sarah in obviously comes in every now and then she was on our around the league show yesterday and she was talking about how Just so much for the community is constantly posting like I love this city By the life of buildings and stuff seems he's really invested himself in the city. It seems like a really nice bloke and a good football about the loudest people I've ever heard but What's his level because is he I wish to say if you take him West Ham are here ever in here and Spurs are here Yeah, is he can he go up to Spurs? I think he's good enough to play for Spurs. He's good enough to play for I Think he needs more consistency I think if fitness needs to be managed more, I think he needs a preseason didn't have a preseason Yeah, I think he's definitely capable of being part of a space squad definitely now how many games he plays and What games he plays in that might be a different thing But I've seen him play against some of the top of the field this year and play really Yes, but I've also seen him go missing in games. Okay, and be very very poor I think when he's playing when he plays poorly he is poor, but I think a lot of that comes down to It's physical state and I'm going to say physical stage mean How how tired he is, you know, literally sapped of energy and see it on the pitch Okay, a lot of his game relies on his strength Not to be knocked off the ball and to get himself a yard and then to start moving the ball So I could definitely see him playing for Spurs. Definitely. I think West Ham I could understand why why they would have gone for him Yeah, 18 million pounds. They've gone if they have gone in for a beard, I can understand that I've so I've seen in the same article that this came from is that Barcelona wants around the 25 million pound mark Yeah, would you be well it would you pay that? I'd pay that for you This is a guy. I think his bioclosers about 75 million. Wow. So it's that's not gonna get they've said They've said they want they want 18 would be the bot would be the bottom on the run of the ladder basically They know the more teams involved for him the better. I think everything ever the confidence of signing them And they're not but they're not willing to get into a A billion war war for him. So we had this last summer with Yerry Mina So we got linked with them quite early after the World Cup and at the time I was just like That's a bit of a weird one We went big in an August you can actually if you go online and you look at Yerry Mina man United There's articles that say Yerry meeting will sign for Man United this weekend. Right to begin of August, right nailed on signing for Man United And then it didn't happen And then you get to you get to the last day of the transfer window We signed Yerry Mina and Yerry Mina comes out and says I was never signing for anyone else. I was told in the World Cup Everton wanted me and I was never going anywhere else. Now, of course people say that but Marcel Brands comes out, you know, I back the football and says, you know We we we were playing our game. We weren't playing Barcelona's game Barcelona's game was wait and wait and wait and wait and wait See who comes in see who's coming in and in the end no one no one else came in And we got him for like 28 million. All right. Well, whether he's worth or not We're waiting to see that's that's bad to buy. So with this, I think something similar is going to happen I think Barcelona are going to try and play the game I think because this is what they're very good at is getting trading off on people putting out stories and stuff So it's it's they I think West West Ham will be linked with so many places somewhere and the reason they will be linked with it is because They're always in the market and they've got money to spend and if you're trying to sell a player And you want his value to go up get West Ham linked to them. It was one last. Well, one of the things that came out Sadly from The kid who died in the plane we learned solid one of the things that came out about that was There was a story about the guy who got him to Cardiff The agent who wasn't even his agent and basically said Was it William Mackay? Was it I think who basically said Look how I can get I can get you a move to the family Watch how I can get your a move for you. And he said that he basically put stories in papers Linking them with clubs like Everton And he actually actually mentioned everton because he said I know that they want to send her forward So therefore if I get you linked with them, yeah, the interest that is actually out there will have to come to the surface And it it basically happens so you get everton and West Ham will always be linked with players Because people know we are always in the market for players because we're always trying to get better And we've got a little bit of money that'll happen everywhere. You know if new castle get this money God forbid. Yeah, so that's that was stuff was weird. I know so bars was kicking off onto it God forbid if they get the money that mark because the market will just explode if new castle get money The mark will explode. So it'd be interesting to see West Ham. I'm confident that Andre Gomez would choose Everton over West Ham Because if he if he didn't that would be honestly be the biggest kick in the bollocks. I think Ever every chose West Ham over everton, but ever. Yeah, I know what you mean. Everton are playing a quite quite They're playing the game. They've been seen to be playing now where Very hush hush. Yeah, like they're very quiet. We know who we want We have said we want Gomez, but I think we're also willing to Go go another way if we have to like if the deal doesn't suit us We've we I think now and it's not even a money thing. It's just a it's it's a It's not being a pride thing, isn't it? Well, it's not taking the piss. I was just not being messed around in In when you go in for someone you go into someone and you say Is the money I'm willing to offer if they say no, then you go fine We'll go and buy someone else and let's see Whether all of this other all the stuff is still there. Yeah, yeah, because that that To bring it back to like the delete stuff I think United probably are interested in him, but it could United The club to link plays to when you're trying to get a better deal. So Thingy's agent delete could be something could be like I only want to go to Barcelona and his agent could be like which is Um Riola, I think Um, this is the same guy who's the agent of Pogba and stuff like he's going right All right, we'll go to Barcelona, but you're not taking this deal because I can get you I can get myself and you 20 times better. So they'll go to Madrid. They'll go to man United and go Francium and they'll be like, yeah much you want for him And they'll be like 350,000 pounds a week and they're like cool and then they'll go to Barcelona balls in your court now and then you've done No, you have a very little work. You fabricated a story. You know yourself He's never going to go there, but you're holding all the cards forcing Barcelona to up their offer. So Yeah, Gomez Gomez seems like definitely Everton or above level. I couldn't see him dropping down to a West Ham level You've definitely got to be able to you've got to be prepared to call someone's buff. Yeah, exactly And the only way you can do that though Is if you've got good scouting in place where you can turn around and say well We can sign him if you want for 25 million You you get a good deal. We get a good deal. Yeah, or we can go and sign this other kid That actually we think's great as well. Yeah, and just get off our back So it's what you what do you want to do? And I think that's what he did last year would you ever mean it the fact that it went down to the last day of the season Well, the car Barcelona might have felt like they had all the cards in the transfer window saying well Well, you're gonna have to buy them because you'll have no one and ever more like But you'll have a player that you don't want on your on you know on your club So what you want to do and in the end they got the deal done And it was ever at the same time when negotiating to bring K2 marine and they also bring the negotiating to bring him rockowing from man United at the same time. Yeah, so You know they could turn around and go we get we've we're getting deals done This fourth through we're bringing two lads on on loan It's no skin off our nose what you want to do So ever called the bluff and got the deal they wanted Okay, and it's and the problem with this one is though. This is the beginning of the summer You've got the whole summer of this now. Yeah to drag out to drag out. I hope it doesn't because all that does is is cause um worry amongst fans, so certainly our fan base We need I think to get on Jay Gomez in to say to fans see these are the deals we can do now We can bring players in see if we lost out on Jay Gomez Our fans would naturally just go we've got no money or we can't get deals done And I think for me that's a statement signing saying see we brought him in alone. We wanted him. We went to Barcelona We've got the deal done I forget about all these clubs that you've heard about he only wanted the sign for us Now if the player turns around says I want to have any football that's different. That's understandable We'll have to wait and see on that one. Um, this one's interesting, but I don't think it's a surprise Signator buying Munich doesn't surprise you really doesn't surprise. That was a massive shock to me One of the reasons why you for one of the reasons I think pep hasn't been playing him is because he knows he He was gonna sign a contract. Hmm. And I think pep Guardiola has been completely firm on that and I think Pochettino does it Tottenham as well If you don't sign a contract, then you are out the team and you are leaving the club On the club. We did that with Emory Chan. Yeah on the club's terms though And it's not about you as a player and this is what more clubs need to start doing Is standing up to players and saying you don't sign a contract and you do not play for this club Intermal and did it with them Oh, what's the kid up front called? Cardi okay their captain their best player He didn't sign a contract and they just said you're out the team when we strip you strip you of your captaincy I think you brought him into the team, but no captain right hang on It's the biggest honor. We've got at the club being captain. You're not getting it You don't play for a you don't you won't sign a contract So I would not be surprised if signing goes to boss a lot to buy a unit because simply if he's refused to sign a contract Because he wants to play all the time or whatever Then tough shit tough shit sit here. Just gonna replace you That's my point. Who's your place in life? Well, that is a tough one But then that's where the club have to stand firm and say well, you know what we can replace you Yeah, and I agree, but my point is Leo Arsane to me is one of the top 10 best left wingers in world football at the minute And it's like if you go through the list of other wingers in his position Some won't leave spurs. I don't think Mane won't leave Liverpool Azad, I think will leave but to Madrid. I don't think he'll stay in the Premier League Um, did you talk about Cristiano Ronaldo? He's probably too old and would top you at Juventus name I obviously came out today There'd be 101.2 million pounds a week to go and play for around Madrid And that's probably not going to happen. So what I've seen is that they're really interested in gel felix from Ben Fica As their as their replacement guy and it's like well, he's 19 Could even be younger than that He's worth 70 million pounds and his his numbers are brilliant But for Ben Fica, whereas you've got a guy here who's I think Leo Arsane is 20 24 It was a 20 and 24. I think he's still very young Who's proven in the Premier League? Germany's first choice left winger And You're going to let him go and that that it's not that the city can't replace him because they can They've got the money and they've got the pull-in power and the manager to buy anybody But who's on the market? To fill in or sign issues But that's where I don't think you can get bogged down in it. You've got to of course you've got to say to the player This is we value with this much and your value will go up By if there is an alternative But if they think if it's If they look at the player and say We have a plan for you We will we we think your progression will be this So that in in a year or in two years You will be the first judge player. Yeah, if that's what they've decided for the player The player either trusts them or he doesn't and if he doesn't then he and he won't sign a contract then he'll leave I think going to buy in Munich is just a It makes easy option it completely makes complete sense, you know, he's german I'm assuming he would be a fan of a german club growing up probably buy in munich with how big they were They have been for the last 30 years but Was he a shelker boy that was yes he was but No, I don't think it's gonna matter. It's the biggest club in Germany, but it's that The interesting thing for me is if buy a munich do do this They've already spent 125 million euros on two signings already Sane would fetch upwards of 80 million pounds probably that's 200 million pounds you've spent as buy in munich. What happens to see my burner? The guy that was supposed to be nailed on to come to you And it's it's a win-win for us because I'd love sounding to be else with the Premier League Because even if they replace him with a guy who's shit up, you still need a season or two to bet in Like Bernardo Silva was one of the best midfielders this season, but It took him a season to get in to settle so it set city back Obviously losing company at the same time. So it's great news for us. But when I first saw it, I was like I get your point completely now because it is about it is about determining sort of who's the boss And it is Pep Guardiola in the club, but I was like Jesus. That's this is like a risk I think he's had problems with them all season. I think you could tell by Sane's body language that he doesn't There's been so many games that have been calling off for Sane and he hasn't brought them on I think all season he's had a problem with them. There's just been a it must be over a contract And that he's because I think for a plet for for some managers They look at a contract someone signing a contract. I know they can bat an eye They say that's between you and them upstairs. Yeah But if things for someone like Pep Guardiola Signing a contract is a sign of disrespect same with Pochettino It's it's the it's the sign that you don't believe in what we're doing You're you're putting what you do over what we do and we spoke about it earlier with Man City Man City don't seem to have any internal problems. It's all kept on in-house. Look at I mean look at company I know it's not a problem But companies on TV one day and he's been asked about his contract going on We'll have to wait and see the next day. He's the player manager And the left of Andale and also the player manager and gets called into the national team was that ever happened? Well, it probably hasn't like Iceland or something like that That was kept so quiet and so in-house Because people respect each other at that club and and don't go outside with Sani I think not he's gone outside, but by simply not signing a contract I think that's seen as a sign of disrespect. Yeah, and I think that's that's fantastic because That gives the power back to the club Yeah, and it's something that is a necessity that has to be established to be a top six club And because and that's why you know, it had fallen so far because they just haven't they've had America round of managers that can't establish dominance in the dressing room And I think that's what happened with Coutinho with us Clock famously said to him, you know Stay here and we'll build statues of you and we'll sing your name forever because of how how important you are to us Leave and you'll be a nobody and it's taken a year or about or do you want to sell him? La Caca it's the same with us. I mean, I'm not I'm not necessarily creating the same situation But the car we will be both had star men that were that were losing us a stepping stones And they say I understand why players want to play for bigger clubs. I have no problem with that You could say the same about John Stone. She's on to go on to city But he has won all the trophies. Yeah, it's not necessarily playing now But he will play more especially with company leaving. So it works for some but for some players you know The club The club will come to an arrangement with the players like we had La Caca and I think we said he said some Give us another year and then we'll see where we are and if we're still in the same position We don't mind and I think that's what happened with La Caca. I think that's where the position But for some players, you've got to just take the stance and say if you're not willing to buy into what we're trying to do here Then go somewhere else and we'll bring someone a new will. Yeah, that's maybe again That's something that's I think that's one of the great things that happens at Man United with Sirarchs Ferguson is he could do that He got those players and when they stopped buying into it or got a little bit ahead of themselves He just went on your way mate. He happened to the best happened to beckham having to yapps down I remember when like Hughes can Chelsea's an into a way once someone everyone was like What the hell are they doing the throne and all the way, but he was always one step ahead You know Venger had it slightly but he had a slightly different way He always needed a value for player So I remember when he sold a Vieira to Juventus and everyone was losing their minds going What the hell are you doing? He's in his peak and he's like He's in his he might be he's in his peak for one more year And then we get nothing for him. Where's this summer? I get 16 million for him, which was huge again And I can go bring in my replacement now with having players in the squad I didn't ultimately wake up because he never bought it But he had the foresight to look at it and say I need to shift him now because he's still got some value in him So that's a good thing. That's a good thing that I think and if Sonic leaves It's bad for the Premier League, but but ultimately Man United good for Liverpool Might be good for Man City though, you know, you know, you said this is good for Liverpool, but if Man United Man City Right, this is the court. I know it would be but I've been crying out for Azar to leave the Premier League for three years because he's just that good Because it would benefit everybody else because he's just a one. He's a player that's wonderful And to not have to play him every time we play Chelsea No matter who you know, I agree. I agree. I agree. Um, yeah, so that's all the players Let's talk about very quick about the managers. So Allegri has left Juventus. Juventus. He said it was the they got rid of him Yeah, I saw that Now there's a lot of rumors last week about About Pep Guardiola going to Juventus. They've been dismissed now, but a lot of people they met Apparently now do you think that they sacked Allegri? thinking They were going to Pep Yeah, I think that there was I think they had very fair Right to assume to assume that because I think you know, Pep's been here for three years now city Won basically everything there is to win apart from a champions league with them He's under an FFP investigation. He could face a year out at the champions league And we actually Spoke to a couple of city fans on the around the league and Their city's main goal is to actually catch up with united in terms of domestic titles And even if it takes them 50 years They say they'd rather do that than win the champions league, which is easy to say when you haven't won it But it's it's hard to get your head around but they Oh, no, I can understand that. Yeah as a as a as a thing, but they um, I think that Guardiola to be honest won't be there for more than two more seasons anyway. I think that he's a guy that That likes to move on and he likes to build teams in Within a club that's actually got the funding to let him do what he wants And I think what more can he do with city if you can't win the champions league with them Eventus are probably the next biggest thing that he can move on to so he's done baster. He's done buying He's now done city Eventus look like the next stop in the road that he's trying to take. Yeah But I don't know who they're gonna bring in apparently it's Mariccio. Sorry That he's top of their list, isn't he? Um, he's a strange one. So that's an interesting one. So I've seen um So say sorry goes Do you think that there's a chance that frank lampard goes to Chelsea? You think because I think he understands the structure of the club Understands that he'd have a director football above them or whatever they think he's um, Had a check it's going to go back and be the director from so that's the structure there Isn't it? There's the structure straight away. They're basically saying what the structure is going to be Yeah, I mean, you know, you've got one ex player with another ex player We work together and we you know, we're quite exciting. We've got it We've got it Liverpool have got it In different ways ours is an ex player Um, you know, not one of our ex players, but he is an ex player that stands the game a lot of clubs are doing this now In fact, it's just mad that man United aren't doing it I just still can't get my head around the fact that they haven't done it yet I know they are looking at it Binging in the director football. Oh, sorry. Sorry. No, so I just can't get me around the fact that they haven't done it yet But that's what that's what most clubs are moving to now. So I could see sorry going there. I could see Lampard coming in With with their peter check. Do you think that could work? Is that because that's chelsea's problem for the last I think forever has been that they They go through cycles too quickly. Don't you think though if they brought Lampard in they would Did the fans would be willing to give him that just a little bit of extra time Exactly. He's done a good job at Darby. I know they never got promoted, but I like I really like frontland party He talks the way he talks people listen. I think he's very When he took a football he's well, you can't do what frontland players Do you can't have the career frontland players had a not-demand respect especially at the club? You were a legend for he's very consider them what he says He gets doesn't get angry all the time when he does you know, he's angry Seems like a professional guy, but that's I think that That works best for all parties. I think that sarah gets to go back to italy I don't I think he was a bit out of his depth But he by but by going some to somewhere that wanted is a really good escape for him Because it's not like you just sacked and then you're out the game and everyone looks at you as a failure if you're a marina Can't say can't say those the biggest one and now he's going to into malambo when he left them He had no way to go and so therefore he's he's been sacked where sarah leaves though to go to the event is Everyone everyone comes out of it looking okay. Yeah And I think that that's a respect thing as well, especially if they win You know, especially if they win the Europa League. Yeah, a good season for them. All things considered So that'll be an interesting one if if that all falls into place It is that it is that roundabout as well I'm trying to double check if the next name we're going to mention has actually happened yet I know yeah Just double check that these things haven't happened valverde. He looks like he's going to be leaving Barcelona He's just been beating in the in the Spanish Cup. So he looks like he'll be sacked So, yeah, it's all the stories are barson's sack manager of our verdict today So I don't know what so he's going to get replaced apparently by rebeto mannes What do you think of this? I I've listen This is something that if you've watched toffee tv's for the last four years Me and bars have said loads of times loads of times that his management style did not suit us Yeah, it does not suit the Premier League But it would suit Barcelona because he would be dropped in the players would be bought for him And his style would actually work because he would have players defensive players that can play out the back One of the biggest problem that ever was He wanted players to play off from the back. He simply couldn't yeah And because of the high-press nature of the Premier League. Yeah, just got punished wouldn't work I think it would wake up Barcelona. And but I also think that He would be keeping the hot seat Hot Nice and warm for the next big thing. Well, it's Javi. Well, he's just signed, isn't it? He's just been giving the manager's job. But is it al-ha-ha-he? Ha-ha-he? Yeah Let's just say that the club he was playing for The play club he was playing for in Qatar. Yeah, so he's just become their manager So within a year or possibly two years, he will be back at Barcelona They see him as the next pep as there's it on they see him as the man who Who has got the intelligence to understand all of that really was probably the most intelligent part of the scene exactly So they understood he's gonna have a couple years doing being where he is now Yeah, and then he'll move come back to Barcelona. So I can I can see Martin is easily going in there and having no but kuman could I could have seen kuman going there? I really could even though I think Martin is probably better suited better suited kuman would have wanted it Yeah, would have minded it for a couple of years. Yeah, but I I've I could see Martin. It's being alright there. Good stopgap. Yeah, definitely. So um I'm gonna have to wait and see if that happens, but I to be honest Rebeta man. This is one of the nicest people in football. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met in football are really not I did say some nasty things about him not personal. Yeah, and it happens, isn't it when you're closing the bad way? I did think he was Some of those decisions was just absolutely mental. Yeah, and he continued to make them Yeah, but if he goes to Barcelona, he will be at the sharp end and and he won't listen. He's had a couple of years of of managing top Top players or coaching top top players and essentially was that Barcelona. That's what he'd be doing again He'd have of course, he'd have a hand in who he wanted, but that wouldn't be necessarily who we got He'd be given players and they'd be really good players and listen Going from either McGeady to Messi is not it's not the step you think it is, you know one comes on in a playoff Final for Sunderland. Well does Messi have a skill move named after him in FIFA? No There's a McGeady spin for a reason Do you rather? Do you rather? I think you'll do all right. I think and it'll just be really interesting to see him No, I'm I'd be excited to see him again For I haven't, has he been anywhere in this space of time? Belgium, a bit of Belgium Nice to see you keeping up with football. Not international football. International was shit I mean, you know, that's okay. That's why he's been Belgium We have the best Belgian player in the world, so it's fine So psychic is nobody else can see this. I walked right into that. You did? I walked right into that Do you have it? Do you have it? Good fun. Good. That's it. We'll hopefully see A lot more as obviously next week it will be Champions League post Fallout. Yeah, sure.
