 Welcome to Toffy TV's, The Transface Show, I'm joined by Andy Bailey for the last time. For the last time. I'm not dying. No, I'm just leaving. You're leaving. I don't think anybody in your YouTube comments is going to care to you at that moment. Sad moments. We do. I don't know. Andy with us as well, the fountain of all knowledge. I wouldn't quite say that. We would. Transface were still really bails waiting for everyone to kick off, aren't we? The all domino effect hasn't really kicked in yet. Obviously it's still due, it's still early, but a lot of teams are back next week for pre-season training and no big moves really from any of the top clubs at the moment. Do you think there's going to be, you know, one club makes a big sign and then the rest just follow suit? If you go through and look at the top six teams, I don't think Liverpool specifically, so I don't think you're going to sign anyone until we see, either at all or see a bit of pre-season, you know, see how Harry Wilson and that adapts. Do we need to go and get a versatile forward if Harry Wilson comes in and is pretty good? Chelsea have got a transfer ban united and notoriously terrible at doing deals. It takes them six weeks to get one thing over the line. And you're looking at, you know, you've actually got no money to spend, spares, probably front runners at the minute with the links that they've got. It's going to take one, I think. It's going to take one and then everybody else will follow suit. I mean, I suppose on that, it's two blinks first, really, isn't it? There's going to be, like, a movement, because obviously what you're going to end up is, if Maguire goes, then obviously Leicester, then we'll need to replace him. And then the club who, they all then sign a centre back, then there's room as well, they were stung from Brighton, and then Brighton have already signed the centre back. They'll obviously, I think they're also linked with the wing of Belgium, Trussard, as well as what we've done this week. So the money will start flowing then, and then obviously teams will then start spending. Obviously a lot of people are back off their holdies from pre-season, players of Cooper America under 21, I think that a lot of players are under 21, because there's a lot of good players there, they'll start to make moves as well. So the money will start flowing, and then, yeah, I think that's sort of the next stage, when the competitions are over, they're all back, they'll start moving again. Had you just mentioned Harry Maguire there, Manchester City, Manchester United, apparently in an 80 million pound tug-of-war forum, which is absurd in my opinion. There you go, I mean, where do you see him going after those two shots? He's doing me wrong, Harry Maguire isn't a defender, he's solid and all that. I don't think Pep would like him because he can't get up the field with the ball, he can't carry the ball, but I don't know, he's just, going from company, he was like pure class to Harry Maguire, I don't know, I think Stones would probably then, where are you going to do with Stones? I think Stones expect them to jump up into the first team, autumn ending, and then they've got a couple of young lads, Garcia, who do you like as well? LaPorte? Yeah, LaPorte is obviously his first choice. So they've got other players around the club who can do it, Philip Sandler as well, who wants the opportunities as well, but I don't know, Man United, yeah, they probably do need someone like that to play with Lindelof, 80 million now, they could sound, you know, William Salleb is going for 30 million, if anyone wants that much better option, much belong to him, but premiership proof, and that's what people like to do, England International, I think that's what they're looking at, but not for me, not for me. Where do you see him and then off bales? He's got, you know, it had written all over him, but I think he'd probably go to City, because I think he's like, the weird thing about Maguire for me is 80 million pounds, what he's been touted at, but like, you could spend an extra 20 million pounds and go and buy Culler Barley, you know, okay, he's 28, okay, he's got less time, he's not Premier League proven, but he's without a doubt a better centre half for me than Harry Maguire, and he would come into United and be that league, between him and Delit, the two sort of the big centre halfs that could potentially move in the summer, that could come in and sort of properly shore it up, you'd put your money on it, hopefully shoring it, but I don't know, Maguire is mental to me, do you think, you know, obviously we've landed like 75 million pounds, can you see him being worth more than Van Dyke? He's not a better player, he's nowhere near a better player than Van Dyke, let's have it, right? But I think that he's probably gone where you can go he's worth more than him, so it means he's better. It's like, you look now and you see Wambasach effa 50 million, and you know, another fullback where you got Llewge D, and he was 18 million, I know what I'd rather have. So I think when you look at prices, I don't think you can really, I know what you're saying, you've got a direct comparison, you've got Harry Maguire. It's just where you're pulling the front that the number from, you know what I mean? It's just because less they've got money, they've got rich owners, but they've also got the TV money, and teams don't need to sell anymore, and they don't want to sell particularly, and they can say, 80 million, that's what the price is, and the man can answer to the girl, and the man's sitting home. But we needed to send her back, and that's what we're willing to pay for, and whereas in the past it used to be, clubs needed the money, so he'd be easy to get a player, and we've got lost really for 30 million for the tanks, we needed the money, but that's what used to happen now as much anymore, even Palace, can hold out for 80 million for Zahar. Well if you look at, I suppose what they'll do is they'll look and go, well Van Dijk went for 75, 18 months ago, so the bar now is Harry McGuire at 80 million, and I'm not saying. That's the issue, if I'm Man United in the city, you know, the players said about Cull of Alley, he could be the difference between you getting third, second face, whatever. Harry McGuire's not the difference between the two of us. Who would you, if you were city, would you go for Cull of Alley? I don't think he fits what they're looking for, it needs to be, you know, the likes would have been pay for them, you know, it would have been, but they just don't seem to, for whatever reason, I don't know. I think they want someone who's a grubious stop and like company because obviously they've got the port, who's your ball playing centre back next to him, and I think they're looking at McGuire, and they think that's his premise you're proving, he's going to step in straight away. I just don't see it though, I just don't. What about the cheery would you take? I'd take Cull of Alley if I was going to have the choice. I think you're getting better value for money, I know he's 28, and he's never played in the league before, but he could be the day, you know, for two, three years, Man United he can afford to write off that level of money. It's not like another club he won, look at it, someone under 26, and they can say three years of Cull of Alley's worth the money investment. But again, they don't do that at City, they seem to look at players 24, 26 more than. Sorry guys, it interests me as well that, they notoriously don't go over 60 million pounds for their signings, it's mad that it would be Harry McGuire is the guy that they break the duck on because it's like, they definitely do need a centre off, but it's to have John Stones, Harry McGuire as two of your options, I think the port is fantastic, he's used to a, so, so, you've got Karl Walker, he's said what you want about him, I don't like Karl Walker as a player, he was fantastic three years ago, they've just signed on like a five year deal as well. Just renewed his contract, so it's a very strange defence for a guy, especially a title sort of retending defence, but the fund-wise, I don't think you're not going to afford him, which is strange to say, because I think that they've got, you can talk about United for ages, they've got to basically do seven deals in the space of what, like, two weeks, because they notoriously do their deals before pre-season, and they want, they've taken an age to get the one massacre deal done, they've bought, because one of the guys' names left my head. Matthew, Tom James. Tom James. Yeah, him, two midfielders, a striker, if you look at who goes, a right winger, also got to sell Paul Pogba, and it's like, there's too much stuff going on there, and then it obviously came out in the press that he would, social, might only have 100 million pounds to spend, so it's like, I can't, I don't know if that's the risk. Yeah, you look at Man United, obviously, as you say, they've got a lot of positions to fill. It's really needed defensive of the field, and I can't help it now, defensive of the field, Lincoln Rice for another game, a ridiculous 70 million. Lincoln Longstaff as well, aren't they? I can't even think, he played 10, 15 games long stuff, he's a good player, but I understand the perspective of Man United, you want to go back to that face and buy a new English players, I don't think that works anymore, I think you're overpaying in a lot of cases. If you're paying 80 million from the wire to massive overpay, considering you could probably get canati from lipstick from about 60, who's only 19, he's going to be one of the best centrebacks in the world, I think that's the problem when you're buying from the Premier League, clubs can afford to put the price up, and with Man United, I just don't say, I think that for me they would be favourites from the wire, but as you said, I just don't see them spending 80 million on them. If it was 50, did I go? All right, maybe, yeah, but 60, 80 million, it's just too much for the player that ability. For one player, it looks like the deal may happen, it's obviously one besachet. Had a really good season for Crystal Palace, horrendous for England under 21s. I mean horrendous for England under 21s, but he's a very, very good footballer, loads of potential, but 50 million quid for one season in the Premier League. Too much, that is absurd. If you're looking at a player, if you're paying 50 million, I think Man City are interested in what you're going to say, hello. He's not great defensive, don't be wrong, he's decent defensively, but the difference in ability on the ball between one besachet, at the same price, the same, is just worlds apart. When about one besachet, get to the final 30, he's a good dribbler, but the decision making, the past, that final pass, and if you're going to be a Champions League club like Manchester United, I don't want to be. If you need him to get to a certain level quite quick, and I think unfortunately for him, what's going to happen is if it doesn't go well for United early in the season, which it may not, do you depend on what players they get in. The focus is going to be on what he can't do, rather on what he's good at. He's a great defender, he's a defender right back, he's probably a wale football really, but when it comes to the focus, that he can't put that final ball on and pick that pass out, people are going to start to pick up on that and it's going to tear against him. Like the other night, it was, you know, people have, you know, we've watched one besachet all season, I say he's a good, oh he's been really grud in all that, but then a lot of people when he's seen the other night for him and so on, oh he's terrible, he's not a good player, but it was all the bad example of what he can't do the other night, which is why. I just thought he got caught out so much defensively, because he didn't know when people have run in behind him and his awareness was just not there and yet he's being really good, I think for palace ball. In his defence, I think the manager had come out and say he doesn't know where his head's at and he said, you know, because it's all up in the air, is he going to stay at palace, is he going to go to Manchester, you know, in its effect in his game. I can see that, but he's a 21-year-old kid and it's like in a 50 million pound move, you know, when Carl Walker went, he was more mature, he'd been in the Premier League, he was probably, he was part of one of the best defences in the league at the time, Tottenham were fantastic that season that he left and to go from palace to United and again, English Premier League inflation and knowing that you can rinse United for all their worth because they're dying for a right back. It just looks like it's going to be a poison chalice for him, both because he's going to be, I have a sheeps of expectation leaps on him because of his price and because if he comes in, you've still got smalling, maybe Lindelof or Bayee, maybe De Haill, who knows if he's going to go or not and stay and look sure it, that's not, if they don't sign that centre half, which they do need, who spoke about Harry Maguire, I don't, I don't think he's the answer, I certainly do need a centre half. Does he solve the problem? He doesn't solve the defensive problems for me. I like that a lot, I was going to say, you spent $28 million on the last season, decent going forward, you know, I think you need the time to adapt to the Premier League, you know, they've got high expectations in Portugal. I just don't understand why you, I thought my night of bringing the Mounier, maybe even Daniel Orvez or whatever, you know, someone older, give them that season, he's in certain games, but now he's obviously... They were talking about making him a right winger. Yeah, that's the problem they see. This is where Manchester United, I think they're like, not really with it, in the sense of, they're buying for what they're managing, and this ethos they're managing wants to do rather than a whole club ethos, where, you know, you're going for marino buys, and they basically do a lot, they're going, we'll move them on. You know, they need to have a sort of more focus, and I think that's been the issue for United over the last couple of years, they're just not very focused in what they do. Just for Wambasach, before we move on, for him, I mean, she and Wilf Zahar leave Palace for United, a similar age, a young age, you know, we're not here, okay, you know, it didn't work out well, he's just there, and then different, you know, van Halden, fancy when he came back to Palace. It's, do you think Wambasach has should leave it where it is this season? I think you should stay, I'm staying at the Palace for a while. You did say, I think a newspaper story, spoke to a local press in South London, said, I'm staying at the Palace for another season, and I think it's changed, I think no one expected someone to bid £60 million for in the summer, and because the bid's coming Palace, I'll probably say, well, you know, we need one of the players we need as well, and I just think it's the wrong move for him, I really do. I think like Zahar, I think it's just the wrong move. I think United are in a position where, if it was all going great, you know, it's like under effects, for example, and they were willing, things and all that, you could slot in, be taken along, but now, the expectations could be there from to improve the side, and if he doesn't, it's just going to go against him. In the world, the most expensive fullback fathws me, and it's good, it's just very typical of what I expected to happen to United, and that's paying over the odds for positions that they need to fill, and I think that that'll happen in any position they have, obviously, maybe the one counter will be Bruno Fernandez, because I think his price is around £60 million, and if they pay that, that's a good deal, but yeah, I feel no different to what I expected of it, because it was only a month ago that Palace were like, we're not selling it, it's not for sale, because there was a load of United's ITKs, all that bollocks saying, you know, they've been interested in it for three months, Palace weren't selling it a month ago, and then United were interested and said, we'll give you the asking price, and that's, United's biggest downfall, because there's three bids, I believe, that have been made for him, I think it was like, we'll give you, I was over £15 or £25 million with £10 million add-ons, and then they came back and went, we'll give you £35 million with £10 million add-ons, and now I believe the latest is £45 million with £8 million add-ons, and it's like, United's biggest problem, that's why they're so notorious for being slow with transfers, because they lobal everyone, and I get, if you don't want to pay £50 million, but to go in at £25 million with bollocks amounts of add-ons, it's like, it just doesn't, it just don't seem serious, and I can see why Palace would be like, well, pay it or don't. Palace that I say, don't want to lose, and they can just say, we'll keep going until you, you know, because Manchester United say it's desperate, they can just come at the price up, at the price up, and that's the problem with United, they just do not seem organised, it's either these expensive English players or these world all-stars, so many good players in between, the people are picking up, the smart signs, United don't seem to be in the market for any of them, I don't know what's going on there really. Absolutely, madness. I mean, the Pog bet, there's still a question mark over him, where he'll go, again, links to Real Madrid, and Juventus again, Romelu Lukaku, you know, is a big question mark over him, Inter one of me wants to go there, but you know, Inter have got the Akadi situation. The Pogba one's properly blown, any plans that they do have, whether you say, I can't write to myself, they're saying that they're notoriously bad for that, they still will have gone into this transfer window, thinking right, Pog would stay in, so we need that position, that position, that position, and we're fine. Him coming out and publicly saying, you know, I want a new challenge and I'm not happy, that bollocks is everything up, because now you've got to factor in, well, we obviously spent six weeks making him stay, bringing him a new contract and saying we really need you here, or manufacturing what would be the move of the summer, okay, as Ab was fantastic, wherever Pogba goes will be that move. So it takes up so much time and you know, I said, I want the proactive sort of club to go right, we'll bring Rabio and Fernandez in and then we'll sell him. They'll end up taking four weeks to sell him and it'll end up being, well, we kept, well, we kept, you know, what's his face? Pereira. No, he was just on the new deal, Matta. Well, Matta, they'll be like, we kept Matta, so it's well in. That's where he comes to it though, I think that's where, like, teams need to be proactive. If you sell Pogba, you know, and then start a lot of players, teams know you've got so much money to spend. Yeah. You know, whereas if you, as you say, both Fernandez and Rabio, and then go sell Pogba now, your position is strengthened then. Yeah. But you know, when they transfer bids and now they're going to go higher, like with the pile of steel, they're just saying, you know, you need the right back, you know, you're nice to just stand smart and the fact that they still haven't got a director of football in, despite four months, five months ago, they don't need one. It's just a bit better, really. It's a matter, isn't it? It's a matter. You were talking then in, you just mentioned Arsenal, not having loads of money. Yeah. Lynx, a Cadencean, who haven't linked me last summer, Celtic, left back very good. Mm. But they didn't the same, aren't they? They're going in with low offers and... Because they're trying to stretch the budgets, aren't they? Yeah. Like, everyone knows the price for Cadencean, they haven't been told that exactly last year. It's not changed in a year. He's had a few injury problems, so maybe Arsenal try a chance on that. Mm. If you come in with 5 million, you come in with 15 million, Celtic probably don't need to sell them. You know, if the offer gets high, you will sell them, but who knows what Arsenal have got? Because, you know, these rooms, they've got more than 40 million, but if you've only got 40 million, you can spend 25 million on the left back. You've still got the two slowest centre Arsenal league together. Yeah. They've got so much to change. Mm. So they're in trouble as well, unless they sell one of the best players. That's an interesting point, actually. Did you see this stuff about Birmingham on Instagram? So he put on his Instagram story, he's on holiday at the minute, he purchased it, it's just an image of the thinking emoji. And the next story was a football. So everyone was, and that was on a Birmingham's official Twitter. So people were like, okay. You can't say that there's options. What do you say? Because that's the problem with Arsenal and you bang on there. They have to penny pinch and they're not. How can you go from a position that Arsenal are in, you know, going into your Royal League loss with Maitland Niles, Alex O'Wobe, and you know, Lacazette and the Birmingham who just didn't perform. They've got two huge assets and I suppose you can count Erzil as well. Three assets, whereas it's a bit past it now, but they're there two key players. I can't see them, if they can't spend money, how do they retain those players and how do they grow from there? Because it's, whilst you know it, they've spent six years regressing. They've spent over £500 million trying to get back. Arsenal having given the opportunity to get back. Arsenal at the minute are just on a trajectory going downhill. And I quite like Arsenal, but it's like, I don't know what. What's the way out for them? They'll have to sell one of the best players. Now, whether that's Obama, and he's, what, he's up in 20, 29. 30. 30, sorry, there you go. So how much money are you going to get for him? Then you look at, you know, so it's basically, they'll have to take a hit on the money because they need to get that contract off the bill. I think there was rumours that Jacka might get sold, but how much are you going to get for Jacka? Lucas Terera. Lucas Terera go back to Italy. The team's interested in him. They're not going to bring you like enough money. You know, they're not Pogba level money, 100 million, 30, 40, 50 million. And again, you know, I think they've been linked to players from the second league in France, which is, they all go players, they've been linked to it, but for Arsenal, we're a top six team. They're not going to come in and make that instance impact. So again, it's going to be another transition year for Arsenal. And how long does then we stick around for the transition that's... But having, I mean, having some of these teams almost got it just rebuilt to get back where they were and just try to stay as high as you can. I know it. Fans won't want to hear that. No one wants to hear it. We never, ever want to hear that. It's going to take time to build. But if you keep... For me, Arsenal, just haven't got enough top quality players. They've lost in my opinion, one of the best players in Ramsey, because he scores, you know, he's shown... They don't have anybody that does... It's a big game player. But they don't have anybody that does what Ramsey does. No, he doesn't have that much power. He's gone. Oesles on the way out, on the way down. He's not interested. He's got loads of ability, but being captain, you know, the two strikers are fantastic. They've got some other good players, but it's just not enough for me to see them climbing. And it's... Is it a case ago? What we're trying to do is build this so it stays in place. We can get back to where we were, but... There's a gap, really, because they've got, as you say, they've got all those players and a lot of them are going to eventually move on. They've got really some really good young players, but there's nothing in the middle. There's not only players entering the prime now. You'd say like a... Because, like I said, it's 27, 28. We're by my own 30. Oesles older. They haven't got anyone who's entering the prime now. They're the way you need to side, really. So they're going to be stuck unless they can buy them players and I don't think they can afford to buy them. They're interested in Fraser. Fraser's a good player. I don't think he's going to, like, particularly set the world on fire or Arsenal, really. They haven't got many options, really. No. Another thing you mentioned is Spares, because we've got some of Christian Erics, and obviously that's rumbling on isn't it, Spares? One of them's a sign of new deal. He's been linked with Liverpool last week. He's been linked with United. He's been linked with a couple of teams abroad. I think he's going to stay, you know? I think so, because what that's happened is, I think Real Madrid were interested in Erics, and then there's a Dan's team around, so everyone's bogged back, and obviously Dan's at the moment where he gets what he gets. So, Erics, he's got 28 now, isn't he? And teams really going to invest a lot of money in Erics, but he's only got a year left. He's still going to want a lot of money. I don't know. I think he'll end up staying and they'll try and go again with it. Give him a new contract. He's a proper strange player, isn't he? Because he's in his own sort of individual bracket. As you say, although Pogba would be twice as expensive as Ericsson, you can just see that A, age, and B, you know, going to play with Zidane is a big selling point, and I think Pogba is on his day probably a better play than Ericsson, but it's not lightened day. But I look at Ericsson and I can't put my finger on one team in my football that I'm like, I can see them going for you. Because he's just, I don't know what it is, age, whether he's maybe not quick enough, maybe he's not strong enough individual, he's got phenomenal vision, incredible deadball specialist, and he can press a man when he needs to, but there's not teams in my football that are crying out for a Christian Ericsson in their team. Do you know what I mean? Because back in the day there was, that's sort of about five years ago now, it was like the battle of the tens in the Premier League. It was like Ericsson was at his peak, Catino was in there, Hazard when he was playing the 10, there was all these fantastic tens in my football, and Ericsson's the only one left sort of there, whereas everyone else seems to have filled up the holes where they need to. So I agree with you, I can't see anyone wanting him. It's the change in the stars as well, a lot of teams have played the 4-2-3-1, a lot of the years ago, it's gone to 4-3-3, you want that dynamism in the position to provide that dynamism, it's kind of all, Ericsson's more of a player who's better when you sort of, he's better when you're trying to break a team down because the pace is not, you don't need to break on the counter attack. And yeah, as you say, I just don't see many teams from, I can see Italy, but then who would you go to in Italy? You know, I suppose the event is, might what would take a player like that, but they like to look at younger players, they're interested in Pogba again. Yeah, I don't see anywhere Ericsson going, I think Tottenham, you know, like him, a bit of a posh team who's going to stay, I think they'll keep the band together, maybe add one or two players and go again. The interest in the city doesn't go anywhere. Gareth Bael, on to Rhyl Mthridd, still there, 29. It's a risk. He's going to take him, you know, Chelsea, Manchester. Is it going to be a loan or is it going to be a... Are you willing to invest 85 million in up to 29 years with injury issues? It's... Man, you might, I might say, because again, I don't know what the decision maker process is there, but if you're a smart club, you just don't invest that type of money in Bael. It's going to be wrong if you're still, on his day, he's still great, but how many days is he going to have like that? How fit is he going to be? That's got to be... Whether it's a loan, okay, fair enough, but if Manchester United signed Gareth Bael, that's got to be Edward Wood's head. Like if I was a United fan, six years of that stuff of just marketability and shirt selling doesn't run anymore. You know, they've done it for six years. It's just like 10 plus world class names they've bought through the door. You can rattle a million off of your head, and it's like, I don't... When do you learn that's not the way forward? You're right, 29 injury prone. It cost him so much money. He's got three years left on his contract. He's very much a guy that's in a golden cage in the sense that... Because his price is that high, he's really going to take him, and it would only be a muggy team like United that would take him because it would sell shirts. And the problem is they really need a right winger. And again, if evidence is to go by, Woodward would look at that and go, ooh, I can bring you Gareth Bael. And it's like, well, we don't want him. We want Bruno Fernandes and we want Thomas Partay and we want Emden Bele. And he's like, yeah, but I've got your Gareth Bael. And it's like, you don't learn. You don't need to bring in these big name players because he's going to be here for two years and then he'll be done. So... And I think... I don't know if it was Ramadrid's owner came out and said he'd categorically no way he's going out on loan. That's not happening. So it would have to be a permanent transfer. And again... He's got to say bye. He's nice to have been there before. I haven't heard his son's shares. You know, it wasn't his injury problem, but he failed to see the fact that he played 700 games at 29. It was always going to be a shock. Yeah, and he kind of thought to buy a player and give him a four or five-year contract at 29 on so much money and then he could just break down the next year and be finished. And I mean, it's too risky. You've got to be smarter than that. The one that's still kicking around, of course, is Neymar, you know, seems to deal changes every couple of days and there's millions of players being offered in exchange forum and obviously cost PSG 200 million quid. They probably don't want to lose them because of the marketability of them. However, it's not being without it. It's being eventful, to be say. You know, we've missed Champions League games, quarter-finals, a couple of years on the run. And, you know, Barcelona, apparently the team that won them, Messi wants them back. Messi gets them too. Yeah, exactly. They've got all kinds of swap deals and money being exchanged allegedly. But I mean, where, you know, do we see him ending up back at Barcelona, though? I think so. The way it's gone for Neymar is he went to PSG thinking he was going to be the number one and he'd spent a couple of years behind with Suarez and Messi. And then, within a year, Cillian Bappy's turned up and, like, turned the world. And it's said for him because he's a part of sport, he's part of sport, isn't he? So, and now, I think the club won. Paris Saint-Germain have failed in the Champions League the last three or four years, haven't they? They've done an internal review and they probably thought, it's time to change the culture of the club, the back-and-two club. He's been kept on. He's given an extra contract. Him and Neymar don't see eye to eye. And I think they'd like to move on. And Messi obviously loves Neymar. And I think, you know, if I'm, you know, Paris Saint-Germain and they offer me, you know, Usman and Dembele, 100 million of them, you know, I'll drive Neymar on them myself, you know what I mean? That's the deal worth doing. It's just not worked out for Neymar for every reason. He's got, I think, PSG realized that they've made too many mistakes and given too much power in a sense. And I think that's probably what's going to cost them being there really. To see him going back to Barcelona? I think Barcelona is probably the only place. If Neymar was going to move, it would have to be Barcelona. And I've seen stuff sort of him saying, he's still got a huge affinity for Barcelona. He still loves, loves Messi and loves the city. So again, when I referenced the Golden Cage earlier, I think Neymar is Mr Golden Cage. Mr 200 million pounds on stupid wages. And I remember it came out about a month ago. I'm saying he'd want a million pounds or something in wages per week. Something like that. And it was like, right, okay, fine. But there's no way, I can't see anybody paying just cash. It would have to be players plus something I've seen. Catino thrown in there, say Dembele. On the city. They've got that. Catino maybe, I know he's had a bit of a bad time. Barcelona going to another club. He's still an effective player. You know, if you can restock your team by selling one player and get some money as well, they'd be in a better position. That'd be a huge win-win for Barcelona, I think. So Catino clearly is not in favour at the club whatsoever. They're a bad transfer team as well. Barcelona sign players, they just do not fit the system constantly. So they need to, and bringing their, having their NSM back together, they've won the Champions League, they've won the treble with them. It fits, and the fans would be happy as well, really. And up for Paul Griesman's on that odd man out, isn't he? Well, it's just going to come on to Griesman. Last year, Barcelona had a grif, allegedly a grif to deal with them. Made his documentary. Made his documentary. Then he changed his mind. Had to change a heart and decided to stay for another year. Then he come out at the end of the season said I'm leaving. I'm done, you know. I'm done thinking Barcelona were going to come back in for them. Probably not expecting Neymar to be back on to Barcelona. So I mean, what happened to him? 28 years of age? I don't know. I don't know. Two years ago, we had United all over him before they bought Le Cacu. But like it, I don't like Griesman personally. I think he's a good footballer. I don't like what he's about. He's very, he annoys me. He very much likes himself. And that's fine. You're a good footballer. But you know, going and making a self-proclaimed documentary about this is my big plan and it doesn't happen anyway. And it's just like, oh, sure. But it's just one of those where it's like, well, if it's Neymar or Griesman, you wouldn't blink twice, would you? It's like, with the opportunity to maybe offload some plays that aren't working out for you. It's just like, cool. I know I've seen a lot of Barcelona fans on Twitter when this was mentioned at the start, saying I don't want him. You know, I don't like his attitude. I don't like the way he works. And again, maybe it's just not Griesman's destined to stay at Athletic Llywodraith forever when I looked at it. Potentially, the way he would work is Neymar goes to Barcelona and then PSG used the money to buy Griesman because I think Griesman has gone on to 220 million euros, whatever it is, 28. That's a lot of money. But would he fit better yes, because he played together for France and he's French. So that might work out for them. And then obviously, Athletic Llywodraith are desperate probably to sell them because Jalph-Felix, the young sensation from Portugal, lined up. And I think they want to move on in that sense. So yeah, it's difficult for Griesman because he's probably only got like Neymar. A little limited options because how many clubs are going to want to take him? I don't think Ronaldo want to play with him. He's got too much power there. He has to have people working for him. So these clubs are all buying now, 28 probably not for them either. So it's either PSG or Barcelon. Barcelon going to take Neymar. So he leaves one option. And I think, could he go back to Athletic Llywodraith? Probably not. It's very irreparable. It's irreparable in itself. It is bizarre. One play we've seen to turn into is club this week is Matt Hummels, who left by in and has gone back to Dortmund. Apparently turned down a bit from United, allegedly. I don't know. You know. But I mean Hummels, still a good defender. Slipping back. Yeah. It's good. It's still got all the class about him. I think going back to Dortmund probably is probably less pressure in the sense as well. I don't like the move. There's two ways to look at it. I think the overall deal of doing things is 38 million. Sounds high for 31-year-old defender to me. But then they've got three other young centre backs. Maybe they need someone to sort of guide them. They've got Zagadu, Acangy and Diallo. They're all good young players. Maybe they need someone to guide them through. I've had experience for the Champions League as well. I didn't get on the group stage this year. So yeah, there's someone like that. I think it works on that front. I'm quite obviously more into buying players when you're younger, but I suppose bringing a club ledger back is not the best thing you can do. Sells a lot of shirts. And they are young sadly. So having someone like Hummels, you've got all that experience. I think they've done things. Again, I wouldn't have been the signing for me, but the signings they've already made. There's trajectories like this and they're already a team that's flying. So I think that it's going to be very exciting for the Bundesliga next year if you say it was exciting this year, but it's going to be even closer. Hummels is a strange one. I've seen him in the World Cup. Obviously it's hard to say, because Germany is a whole world pool, but I didn't like him then. Obviously I saw him in person when he played by Munich and it was like, he's a shadow of that Mats Hummels for five, six years ago. 26, 27 round Mats Hummels when he was electric, when it was Noir and Hummels and it was just like boating. That was the defence. You can look at it both ways. £40 million or £36 million is a good deal for Bayern and Dortmund get to bring one of their own back home. So I suppose it's happy families for both clubs. Folds of Dortmund's plan is for them to bring players on then. Yay, that's an experience. Spring in the morning then. Bayern have already bought two cents of Axe and Pavard and they obviously want to get them into the team. They want to sell Boatang as well. Probably waiting for Man United again. I didn't love the move but it makes sense, logically, in the sense that he will sort of give them that experience then. Another player I suppose before we finish another player who is on the move because he's already said he's on the move is Danny Alves who was left Paris after two years. 36 but loads of experience. I've been watching it. He's going for it. He's still a very good footballer. Loads of energy even at that age. Is there an opportunity for them to come to England before he finishes? I suspect so. I think if the right club offers them the right amount of money I'm not too sure again who that club is going to be. You've got to be smart about it and say 36 coming to it. You're going to pay them an awful lot of money. Maybe you'll accept the deal so it's not too bad. But as you're going to adapt to the premiership with 36 it's a toss up in it. So it's more like your top six clubs who are going to make that plan again. City? I can say because he loves Pep doesn't he? Pep loves him. They've been linked with Cancelo as well so they need someone instead of Walker I think in the Champions League because Walker's always got a mistake in this experience to get them through those games which they've lacked. But I don't know. I think at 36 could he go to somewhere like China or somewhere like. I wouldn't really want him. I'd like him to finish. I'd like him to see him in the premiership for a year but it's very difficult to see if he's got any money not Tottenham type of sign and Manchester United sign on one besarch so it leaves Watt City. Chelsea if they can get the ban there. Chelsea have got enough as well that's going to put out some of the free streams there as well if he's going to be back from injury. So yeah and Liverpool they'll go near and probably so it's probably you know City or Bust really for me. City or West Ham. Maybe West Ham, yeah got Sabolette though having these as well so yeah. But yeah. I've got 38 years old. Oh hey P's at that. Right back. I'd like to see him in England. Yeah I've got a really big soft spot for Daniels he's one of the best right backs I've ever seen especially my playing days of playing FIFA back in like you know FIFA 10 to sort of 15 he was every single year team of the year always being every single team that you ever play with because he was just the best right back in the game to still do it at 36 huge huge hats off to him and he's not you see a lot of players because they car walk you're even seeing it now that lose a yard of pace he still looks electric when he gets going that moves that he played for his goal was awesome no team would be worse off for having Daniels wasn't it he'd still even if he went to City he would be in rotation in that team so yeah I'd like to see him here cos like I say I think he's a fantastic footballer I suppose it'd be good for him to try and then he'd have done Italy and Spain do a bit of his latter you know he'd fit enough he gets away the title everywhere you go as well it always looks good on the CD don't he yeah Maxwell did it when he was falling slat on around so yeah well he does love Pep doesn't he and I think Pep loves him as well but I think it's just where the Pep at once that experience he's not really done it really well he's been to City he's focused at 27 and under but we'll see interesting interesting again like we said at the start we're waiting for it all I think really a few weeks removed we can kick off something big it's got to be isn't it I mean everyone's back I can say before everyone's back a pre-season next week so you'd expect some things to fall into place yes there's plays away with the Copper America and the Afcon stuff but there's still a lot of plays you're on away with that you're waiting on moves and someone like Neymar who's not even in the Copper America because of the injury you know maybe it's a major deal to go over the line exactly it's a big deal so that needs that it needs weeks because there's so complex isn't it yeah there's plays there's image rights and all that it's a clever to work out doesn't it yeah it's going to be a watch this space and see what happens but I think the domino effect will happen and once the money starts sloshing around everybody else starts yeah everyone will be tipping there's only been like a little movement so far it's not really been a major I just want to know especially from a Liverpool perspective where we're at because obviously we're it was said you know we're not shut up this is a transfer show this is widespread football just from a perspective of I wouldn't be asking we didn't sign anybody personally yeah can't do that but equally yeah exactly you need to have some of the next so it's just in case song gets injured what could you do without half season seller you'd say a man he'd step up but then for me he knows nothing himself you need some sort of quality off the bench even just a rotate for certain games I think Liverpool need to be smart about that but then again it's who you're bringing who's willing to play second fiddle you can't you've been linked with Douglas Peppy doubt he's going to leave they're playing the Champions League this year he's going to leave to play second fiddle to them three even though we're wrong he's not there he wouldn't necessarily be the player who's just going to walk straight to the team he's still not going to move for that thing so the people who need to sign players it's just the right type of player and fans and that player I think they'll probably move later when the prices start coming down yeah be interesting because we've when we had David Malikin for the news room he was saying our analyst team Michael Edwards and his team do that deal was sort of two years in advance so they'll sit there they've got people like people in their analyst team that have worked on Andrew and Super Collider and stuff that sit there and then analyse shit for ages genuinely this is what he's saying it's a part of the teams and shit so they probably already know what's going on but we haven't had a sniff this is sort of because this is the first season last season we had two huge holes in our team and it was goalkeeper and defensive midfielder so you knew that that sort of the area we were working towards nowadays it's left back cover an inverse style forward but then equally like I say if we didn't sign them it's not you know contrast in opinions but we could go without not signing them you know what I mean so I don't know I think Liverpool are in a shimla thing what spares are in to a lesser extent spares need better players to try and get to that level but what spares have I dealt with like how do you how do you get another striker who's going to come in who's got the quality but will sit behind Harry Kane because they're only playing one striker it's up you're in that little bit of how do we improve the team do you know what I mean yeah yeah it's very hard because you've got to convince the player is that player going to come in from cold sit on the bench all the time to make an impact you've seen with Tottenham that he really hasn't done apart from the Champions League silly so it is so he's sent me the quarters against Spence City but you know it Liverpool do need those players because I think they do need a fresher if you look at Tottenham last season when they didn't sign anyone in the summer a couple of points away so off the season later you need to fresher up and they're off the different things I think they'll be wise to sign someone I hope they don't of course but you know I think they will I think they will there you go big thanks to Bayles last time being a pleasure being a pleasure thank you very much thanks and thanks for watching those
