 Welcome to Toffy TV. It's the transfer show. It's starting to hot up, I think. In here? Because you brought another big lighting. It's starting to hot up in the transfer front. It's starting to have a few moves now. As players come back for pre-season and look to strengthen their sides for next season. It is told that the domino effect is beginning, isn't it? I suppose it's always going to be a quiet month. There was the nation's tournaments, and there's obviously the Afcon and the Copper America, and people having a break. I think with the Champions League final being so late, there's what was inter-dome, wasn't it? So players are away, and we've heard from André Gomez this week talking about his move to heaven, and he's like, I was on holiday, and a lot of players are doing that, aren't they? But now that the teams are all back, you're starting to see those deals come through now. I think people want to... The trend has been people trying to get players in earlier and earlier every year, hasn't it? You should be waiting the last bit to build up the yellow tie day on transfer and deadline day, but clubs recognise now it's better to get them in as early as you can. And the other thing as well I've seen and found, and I think we've both discussed it anyway, the money isn't as free... It is free-flowing, but it's not as free-flowing, if you know what I mean. It's not like people just splash it everywhere. People are waiting for that bit to come in so they can move their money to get that player. Teams wait for that money to come in before moving it on now, where I think, of seasons in the past, or certainly like five, six years ago, the money was just getting thrown anywhere early on, where now you seem to be seeing more teams, you've seen Barcelona shine, but we need to get to the very, very, very, very name before we can do that. That must be the... It must be FFP thing. It must be, mustn't it, that it's people are having to think a little bit more before they splash the cash on. Yeah, so... Supposedly on that point of view, that makes it more of a level playing field, even though it feels like it's only a level playing field for the top clubs. That makes sense. That's a way of making sure that Man City and PSU don't run away from everybody else, but it still feels only that it's at the top for those Champions League teams. It doesn't feel like an Everton could splash money and get themselves up there, so it still feels like the money's sloshing round the top, and then they'll go and buy someone from a team below, and then that money just splashes round the teams below, but I suppose in the great scheme of things, that's the way it's always been. It's always been a hierarchy, hasn't it? Yeah, it has, yeah. I think it's just... I think it's doing what it was meant to do, which is stop a team jumping five rounds up the ladder. That's what they want. They didn't want. They don't want that to happen to do they show. It's a case now, you can shake and navigate it by go planning and building your team, and as much as paying to me to say it, there's a team not too far away that has done that and planned and got where they've got. So that's the way that other clubs can do it, but you've got to recruit well, and that recruitment has to work. You've got to recruit the people who recruit well? Well, yeah, of course. I mean, from our club, we're seeing the effects of bad recruitment, aren't we, still? So it's about good recruitment, and that's what you're after there. That's what you've made there. Besides two players, haven't you? They've brought Roger Ian, who was one of the big players that was the player they were looking to recruit anyway. They've met his bio clause, £62 million, is it? Fifth biggest signing ever to come into the Premier League. So they brought him in, which was their number one target, really. I think Manchester City have got an excellent way of bringing players in before the player he's replaced has left the club. So there's a bedding period that allows the player in that position. In this one, it looks like, you know, Finodino would be that player. And he's still got a year, two years left, but they want to make sure that happens smoothly. Very much like when they bought Bernardo Silver into the club, basically to replace David Silver. David Silver was going to play his last year now. Very similar to that. They're not stupid. They know exactly how to bring these players in and when the time is right. Good recruitment, again, isn't it? Rixie Bergestine and people like that. They've got great people at the top. They've got a fantastic coaching, go out of the olive and everything. The symmetry running right through it helps them to get where they are. Of course, it helps having a big pot of money as well, but they have brought Roger Ian, Finan Dino's a fantastic player. He's waxed lyrical y bar am. He's the metronome for them, isn't he? And you're right, he's got a year. He's 35, I think he'll come up to being 35. So he's got a year, maybe two. But what it does is it enables, when he comes out of the team, that there'd be no drop-off really. Roddy's an excellent player. And I was telling you before that he was let go by. Athletic omens for being too small. He's six foot two now. He went to Villarreal and he bought them back. 62.8 million is the actual fee for him. And what it will do is in times last season from Manchester City and particularly over Christmas, when Liverpool built up that 10-point lead, Finan Dino wasn't at his best. I think he got injured as well. He had to come out when they were trying to replace him. Lost back to back games, didn't he? Well, he put, like, filtho. And it's not nothing to do with filtho. And filtho owns an excellent play, but he's more of an attack on the field. They were trying to mix that midfield together and they didn't have a natural replacement for Finan Dino. So that'll just help them strengthen. And they've also brought Angiolino back in, having the duty of adding, he's a left-back, I think, he's a good player. Well, they let him go to PSV last summer and they bought him back for a buy-back closing, which is something I'm always looking for the evidence to do. They put a buy-back closing and brought him back, so... You know, they've seen the other player go away, maybe to play out when you let them go. Relaxes a little bit, rather than when they're on loan. Maybe they feel like they've never settled in, but if you sell them and get a buy-back and you let them settle a little bit, that relaxes them, they play better, and then you go... He's doing what we thought he was going to do, yeah? Well, that's the deep done, that. I mean, it was like we would throw him off the zinchenco a few weeks ago. I mean, he was 12 months ago over there, or deadline day, he was allegedly off to Wolves, wasn't he? And he pulled the plug himself and went to the stay and ended up winning the league and everything, you know, the treble, he was involved, but Angelino will be competition for him. He's also got Mendy as well, so they've got it. I mean, they have got a brilliant squad, but that's an interesting one, and off the back, I know you're going to know so much about athletics. Yeah, well, athletics are wasted no time. I've gone and brought in Xiao Felix. There's been a hugely, hugely talented young lad, hot prospect who's been talked about going through all the big clubs. The likes of Man City have been linked to them, a lot of the top clubs have. I think for £113 million... £113 million, yeah? £120 million euro, yeah? I get the fact that I get the feeling that probably put Man City off, because even though Man City spent a lot of money, they don't tend to overpay. It's not something they do. They have a valuation for something, and they stick to it. And they're good at that. So, for athletics, they're obviously using the money that they brought off from rugby, and other players they've let go this summer. They brought them in on a seven-year contract, 19 years of age. I mean, that's a huge deal. Everyone watched them last year, Everton. Watched them quite a bit, like you say, United, Watched them, City. I'm sure Liverpool will have watched them. It's a really hot prospect. One of those group of fantastically talented young Portuguese. Portugal, under 20s, are brilliant. They've got half a dozen. You look like fantastic talent, and he's one of them. I think you have 15 goals in the league for Benfica last year. He looks brilliant, he really does. The Premier League, the physicality of it, cos he's only slight. Looks like a young cachor, but he's really good. And going there is a bit of an interest on mommy, cos they're predominantly a defensive team, on the semi-own. Andy, they defend brilliant in a train. They don't attack, but he's creativity. But maybe they're starting to change, if they're Andy. They're also on the very... Well, they've already lost Griezmann to a point of me. He hasn't actually left, but he's announced these labels. So they need to replace him as well. I'm going to get over £100 million for him. So really, they're just... Who knows? Who can say? I mean, Griezmann's in his peak, but who's to say that... You know, you get your money back. You get the money you pay for Felix on Griezmann, and who's to say he doesn't replace him in terms of goals and assists this season? You know, it comes so short. And you look at him and go, well, he's 19, 20. Then you'll be like, well, actually, it's not... He looks like a top talent, doesn't he? You know, Griezmann's buyout, £108 million, I think. And he paid £113 for him. Griezmann's 2018-19. So if you look at it that way, they're paying £5 million for one of the hottest prospects in Europe. Andy, that if you're balancing it that way. And let's look over... They've always had a history of doing this. They always sell a player and then bring in a hot prospect to replace him. They're so good at that. They're always looking at the next sort of... Maybe not the player who's going to go right to the top at that point, but someone just in between, someone who looks at good talents and they bring them in, and they get four or five years. They've been doing this now for... 10, 15, well over 15 years, you know. Di fath o'n blyniad o ddechrau. Torres, Wero, Falkau, Coster, Griezmann. And it's just to be in a conveyor belt of when the players are ready to go and maybe try their hand whether it be abroad or whether it's the next step up they feel. They've always got someone to bring in. It's such a clever way to do it because we've had it in the past, all the teams have had it. You have a real, real good talent. When we had Le Cahau, if you sell on Le Cahau, you should be ready then to replace him with the next big thing. You've got money, so why not go out and try and get the next big thing? And Madrid do that and really... They've put themselves in a really good position through doing that. When they face older likes a Fernando Torres, or Cunning and people like that, they were trying on Falkau. The team was getting better each year as well, so they invested the money well in the team and built from it so that by the time they were moving players on they could replace with the likes of Griezmann, and that worked as a Diego Coster, and it worked well for the Maratas there now, of course. With everything we were trying to buy five players with Le Cahau's money, whereas if we would have been quite simply selling Rom and bringing another striker in for £50 million who's going to replace him, that's probably how it should have been, because your goals are vital, aren't they? And they've done it brilliantly, hopefully now with the mod Leventon they've got in, as they go forward and players whose value goes up on other teams. So it's Reteallas in two years, you know, big Barcelona or whatever, coming from at 130. Leventon hopefully will be hired up with a much better team and able to go right. We'll buy the striker over here for £60 million and we'll use that. And that's the way to do it. They've done it absolutely brilliantly at Leventon. It'll be interesting to see what they do as well, because there's other players who they're after as well, probably with the Rotary money. They need to. They've got a lot of players to replace, but I suppose you'd say, come a stance as well, this is in the Spanish capital. They've got a fantastic stage and they are the champions of the team. So they've got all that. They generally finish in the top four as well. I've got a lot of things going for them, which don't necessarily replicate certainly from our point of view, what we've got for us. The challenge is to do that, isn't it? I mean, look at Spares and look what they've done in terms of being an all-so-ramp but saying, well, we want to get within the elite. And that's what they've done and they've become a huge attraction now. They've actually splashed the cash this week. Yn Dambelle, he's come in from Leon, which is exactly the kind of player I think they need to go forward. Yes, another one. A lot of clubs have looked at this scene. Fantastic talent, 21, big. Box-a-box, can be improved and improves them. Gives them a bit more energy and power in that midfield. They've had powerful midfielders, haven't they? They only tried. Erich Dair in there for the strategy but he's just more of a stopper. They've had one jammer. Way to a certain extent. Yn Dambelle, he can carry the ball a bit more like Musa Dembelle, you should play for them but with a bit more defence. It's a bit like one jammer on Dembelle. Mixed together almost and he's had a great aid. So it's, I think, a fantastic sign for them. It's something they needed. You know, they brought, Jack Wallace as if. I'm going to forget his name. He brought Jack the young winger from Leeds as well. He's gone back on loan to Leeds. But they've been the first two players. They've signed since the 18 months. They brought Lucas Moran in from PSG. So they've bared at the time but he is a very, very good player. It'll be interesting to see what they do. I still think there's still a couple of holes in that. That squad where you look at it and go, you're still an excellent side and he will make them better. But the real issues are Kane has been injured now the last few seasons. I know they've got son who's brilliant but when Kane goes off the side he hasn't really replaced them. He's slightly changed it last year and used Moran and Son and it worked to a certain extent. But over a period of time I just don't think there's gooders the two teams above them at the moment but Dembelle will certainly. Do you need more where-class players or more champions-ly class players in this squad who can start something to it? Simply as that, isn't it? It's just the better players. Some of them are just players who have a similar level. Deli Alley goes off the team, who replaces him. He's gone off the boil now, hasn't he? He really has gone off the boil and he doesn't know what's happening with Ericsson. Rwy'r gael yw'r warhathwnswyd he's a fantastic sign on for them. He's the type of player that you'll be buying as well. Really, really good sign on for them. And obviously another Premier League big move. Newcastle have had a bit of a nightmare on the last week. He's obviously gone off the door to take over was apparently by some fella in his bills in Nottingham. And they've sold Ayos Peres for £30 million to Leicester. Rondon, they're not taking the option up one. So he's gone back to West Brom. They've now lost their other striker in Ayos Peres. £30 million is the new £10 million. But saying that, this lad got 12 goals last season for Newcastle who didn't create a lot of chances or two against us. He's got really good movement this kid. He's one of those where you look at him and go he looks like there's just something stopping him being a really excellent player. And a Brendan Rodgers can get it out of him. That could be a very astute piece of business for Leicester. Fadi's another year older he will slow down. There was times last season it looked like he'd had like five goals till Rodgers come in and or till even after Christmas in a good run when Rodgers were well it will have been on it till Rodgers coming then he finished the season with a flourish and Peres will give them that ability to be able to play wide as well so I think it's probably don't forget Aukazachis just left them as well so they were light up up top really. And in the atio after his amazing miss to stop shift to make sure he won the win. It's hard isn't it? You've got to get your head down these figures now it's when you're 18 in the ring but we paid 18 in the ring for Balasi so a couple of years ago. I paid 25 it was never getting to 30 because we were never going to do what it should be. Still 25 now. So this guy this lad scored goals in the Premier League and he'll only get better I think He's only 24 or 25. It's not a bad piece of business Leicester obviously could be losing McGuire as well Man United and Man City apparently wants them but Leicester wants around 90 million for them which although it sounds daft from their point of view you can understand why they don't want to lose them The age of Van Dijk 18 months ago went for 75 million This lad's got four years left of a contract which he was happy to sign last summer which he would have known the minute he signed it made his valuation more Apparently he wants to leave the club which he probably might feel this is his big chance now at the right age to go to someone I mean if he went to United he'd go straight into the team if he went to City I'm not so sure if he would go straight into the team but he'd certainly have more of a fight and I don't see Man City paying that kind of money for him, I just don't Man United yes Will City wna pa i 75 a Van Dijk with the shoulda done would be very different I'm standing now from the Premier League Yeah listen Is McGuire worth anywhere near that not for me, you know my feelings I think he's a decent centre back people have overrated massively in my opinion but that's the way it is I understand why United probably won him he won a big rock in the centre of their defence and an English player as well for routers and everything and you know City ni'r centre back di do ni'r centre back when some company's gone out the door I think there's much better value in Europe than what they're doing but then Harry McGuire is much better Salabè is one of them I think City though might be in a situation where what we spoke about before because they didn't necessarily have a replacement for companies straight away and they've got good centre backs but they won another one and the fact that he's already playing in the Premier League has been for two or three seasons now means that you don't have that adjustment period No I mean he could go in and he'd probably improve them and he'd improve as a player because obviously they're an amazing side so he'd make them better of course but like you said I don't see them paying that money unless they offered John Stones or Leicester I don't know I think he'll start playing more games personally If they got McGuire John Stones isn't getting him because they've got the port he's amazing, he's left footed they've got Adam Endie who plays who pep likes and they'd have McGuire so Stones would be four to eight centre back they play enough games for him to get games of course but he's gone for them was supposedly going to be their main stay centre back to third but it's an interest of mine for him I think Brendan would love to have him at Leicester wouldn't play in centre back but I don't know maybe Evan will get him back doubt it No Lots happening in Italy especially around Juventus into Milan both of these have put well I mean instead of in the Champions League going to start throwing around they already brought in golden from that's what we did on a free chance for them I'm trying to get Lukaku in 90 million for McGuire or Gordon for three It's the eight though isn't it It's the eight but anyway yeah I'm trying to get Lukaku in now for well for less than United Pay for them which is incredible they're trying to get him on loan for two years and then pay which would stop everything getting our money that we'd get from him a Cardi could be going to Juventus to help pay for it because into Milan can't pay for it without him leaving and he wants to leave anyway or he certainly had issues over his contract and didn't play last season nor his wife had issues well I think that could probably start to with him there's a lot happening at Juventus Rabio's gone in there Adam Ramsey got officially announced they've just brought Buffon back for a year and he's got a clause in his contract that says he has to play eight games because if he plays eight games in the league in Italy he'll become the all time appearance record holder he'll take that from Paolo Maldini so he'll take that so that might be one of the reasons why he's gone back there to be honest he's still better than Chesney he's obviously he obviously felt like it he wants it that time away I mean the thing about Paris Saint-Germain was he went there, played a few games got well in with the Cataris and he would be like a Catari ambassador when the World Cup comes around that's what you do isn't it it is a merry go round obviously Rabio's a fantastic sign but I mean UV with Rabio's mum a Catari's missus is going to be a lively place we've also got the prospect of the Lick on to the event which hasn't been sorted out yet I mean it's taken him as well and a Catari, they're becoming they're top heavy but they're also becoming a super team but they are and this is what he wants when he's bought Ronaldo with them but now they're like the magnets to bring these players into shape to other people that number one it's not financial fair play obviously they might just say well we're doing a role in one summer and next season we'll have a lean one but if they get a Cardi and he needs to get LeCachu then this Moise Keane situation becomes I think it becomes very very interesting because he's going I think he's going to leave the eventers personally because I don't see where there's any room for him and financially the eventers are going to have to sell somebody his dad apparently said he wanted them to go to Inter Milan Inter Milan ain't buying him not the muscle they haven't got the financial muscle to bring them in so I still think Moise Keane could end up at Evan and I know that people are pying the sky but if you connect all the dots if there's real interest from Evan and you connect all the dots they'll lead back to the Premier League and if we're interested and we've shown interest then that play will suit what we need I think Braiola wants them to come here as well I think Braiola's got whether people like it or not and we all know our feelings on him he's what he is isn't he but he's got a good relationship he's also Marcel Brands' agent isn't he he's got a good relationship with Farad Mashiri and he's the one apparently who has said he wants them to go to Everton and he said that in Italy like you know it could happen with Evan so you're right I mean if you went to get a Cardi and according in the Spanish press today sorry an Italian press today he's very close to the very close sign in him which means they'd have a Cardi de Bale, Ronaldo, Manzuchach and then Moise Keane he'd be fifth choice striker but he'd be fourth or fifth choice striker and he's not going to get game time especially because they've got 37 midfield players you know when you look at their midfield players Cadeira, Emre, Cian, Adam Ramsey Brabio Bentacare, they're just five off the top of me Ed who do all play centrally for them so they've got too many players so really they're like you could see Moise Keane coming to Everton for a couple of years they'll be probably a buyer by closing it maybe and you're right the more it's a merry-go-round between those teams so if a Cardi does go there that frees up La Carch we've seen La Carch who's aging yesterday in Milan so he come out well there you go isn't it but he come out yesterday and was like well instead of just going to make the bid now once I'm going to do the bid that's it it's done so once that's done then La Carch who goes there Moise Keane all of a sudden becomes available more so so you're right you could end up with he could end up with at Everton with Raiola and you know suppose the selling thing for him is this is a club who are ambitious to try and build a new stadium but my other client Romululew Lgyrch went there for three or four years and then the next minute he was on another level you go there and score goals for a couple of seasons, you'll have all the top clubs after it again so they talk to us then to again we say it all the time but Foreverton, it's up to us to grow with the players so the decision isn't as easy then has gone well, I'm going to do a one or leave one now because we're doing things here so it's dead interesting Ydi'n cael ei chael. Mae gennym iawn yn ei wneud yn ymwneud i'r gweld. Rwy'n gweld y methu i'n ei ddeithasig du, yng Nghymru, dar comigo i'n dweud â Ben Fficir i ni'n teimlo iddyn ni yn gwyme. Roeddín gynydd.

And they've brought them in for 20 million Euros actually. They've just brought it in to Benf lobepoes, up half full of golds in next summer mann city and be linked with them and something. But that's what it is isn't it? That money is getting sloshed on hand and people are waiting on going with this money for this sale, I'm buying and buying. And we've also seen this week off깃 они, just before we finish. I mean there's a hard stuff with Arsenal. They offered 40 million. I still think, we spoke about this on another show, but who's going to be the, who are they going to sacrifice while the talk was of the day that they put a price tag on a Bamiang of £57,000, and if that's true someone's definitely going to take a brisker on him because I think for £57,000 you're pan, you're not going to get your money back on him. But if he leads you to trophies, then he's going to score goals, he's going to score goals, he's 30, but... Mw fad i still not going to win a 34, 33, there's no 33, so he got a Bamiang for three seasons, with the £57,000 and he got you three four because he scored a lot of goals. You know me, you like it, you take it, you know. Oh yeah, I'm going to say that, I'm going to wish you a book. If you would you rather have me on my screen? In? You should have done that, done the reddy bit. Distance, instinct, goal scorer. Yeah, yeah. Anything else? No, not really, because everything else is still bubbling with a lot of stuff isn't it, you know, you're looking at it. We know Liverpool signed a young lad, Dutch lad didn't need the end of the back end of last week, he looks a prospect. United have obviously won besachar a Matt James, but they, but no Bruno Fernandez agents flew into England apparently to tout him to a few teams because I think they thought United had snapped their hand off at £70-80 million. United haven't done that, so that one's going to be an interesting one because he's been linked with quite a few clubs as well. Wolves are trying to get, Wolves are buying a defender, I think, for £30 million, but that hasn't gone through either yet. And we've also obviously filled Jack Elche, it looks like he's gone to Sheffield United on a free show. There's a lot of things that are in transition at the moment, but... There's only a month left. Well no, that's why, well everyone's back now aren't they, so that's why I think over the next few weeks we'll probably have a lot more to talk about. I think one thing now, this show is a lot better than four fellas sat round like this. Oh my god. I had it on for three seconds before this morning, it was at Srosius, I had to turn it off.
