[0:06] failure? And some big updates on
[0:08] Giorchinus and Magueto, Arsenal along with some other transfers.
[0:11] And Crystal Palace are knocked out of Europa League, should
[0:13] that be allowed? All that and more on the Boxer
[0:15] Box Podcast. Let's go.
[0:18] You ain't going home. Your Honor, I'm sorry.
[0:22] Your Honor, I'm sorry. I'm also.
[0:25] On the pitch and Bangula starts our next.
[0:35] Game tomorrow. Would you rather saliva and
[0:37] Buffett? Right.
[0:42] Saliva. Right now.
[0:49] Episode 66 boys, we are back. Pretty good weekend in sports.
[0:53] Fantastic weekend in sports. It seems like every time there's
[0:56] a big tennis final, there's something else happening in the
[0:59] world of sports. I feel like we always get, like,
[1:01] flattered. We always get spoiled on the
[1:03] Sundays. Listen, I don't know Club World
[1:05] Cup, they they have to look at their scheduling department
[1:07] because it was getting very close to an overlap with
[1:10] Wimbledon in the Club World Cup final, but luckily there was no
[1:13] overlap. I don't think they could have,
[1:15] like there was no other time necessarily put this final.
[1:18] You had to put on a weekend. They played on the Fridays
[1:21] maybe. You could have probably pushed.
[1:22] They played on Wednesday on. The Wednesday like maybe it.
[1:24] Was I mean the last games were on the Friday the semi finals.
[1:27] They won the Friday. No, they were on Wednesday.
[1:29] You told me they were on the Friday.
[1:30] No, no, I said. The semi finals it went.
[1:32] It went. It went Saturday, Sunday, then
[1:34] they played Wednesday, Tuesday, Wednesday and then they played
[1:38] Sunday. So could they have done
[1:39] Saturday? I mean, it would higher chance
[1:42] of injury, Yeah, probably. But then there was the CF
[1:45] Montreal Orlando game. Yeah.
[1:46] So that you. Don't want to get involved in
[1:48] that. Yeah, that's a big game, right?
[1:50] There monster game. But Sinner beats Alcaraz in the
[1:54] final. Wimbledon, I think we're
[1:56] witnessing a little. Generation a little
[1:58] generational. Messy type.
[2:01] Oh yeah. Type I've seen I've been
[2:03] building parallels. I actually just saw a comp.
[2:05] The comps are already coming out about Sinner, about people like
[2:08] in press conferences saying like, you can't beat this guy,
[2:10] like like King Vaughn. God damn has begun.
[2:14] They they brought up they brought up a stature in the
[2:15] game. They said the the the last time
[2:18] there was a a consecutive final like rolling girls and
[2:22] Wimbledon, the two same people was Federer and Nadal back back
[2:27] back in the day. So it's like it's right there,
[2:29] it's right there, the comps are right there.
[2:31] Golden generation after golden generation, then, yeah.
[2:33] It's pretty nice. At least it's an Italian now.
[2:35] Italy first Italian to win to win Wimbledon pretty big.
[2:38] Ever. Ever.
[2:39] Oh my God. Italy to ever win a major or
[2:42] just no golden. I'm sure it isn't.
[2:44] Not a look up situation, not a. Look up situation but that's a
[2:47] let us know in the. I think there's been an Italian
[2:50] this one. Yeah, probably.
[2:51] Women's or men for sure, for sure.
[2:53] Yeah, that's true. That's true.
[2:55] But yeah, tennis, tennis low key has me in in invested.
[3:00] Invested. Yeah.
[3:01] So how about you come to the the women's tournament, the National
[3:04] Bank Open Montreal, or you're not there, You're not there yet
[3:08] and you're. Even even when Nadal and stuff
[3:11] were were in Montreal, I still didn't go.
[3:13] Yeah, but you were. Maybe you were interested.
[3:15] You're some. Younger.
[3:16] We'll see. We'll see.
[3:17] We took that so for granted, I know.
[3:19] Listen, the, the, the probably the women's sport that I follow
[3:21] the most is tennis because. Yeah.
[3:23] That makes sense. The it's, it's so super
[3:25] entertaining. There's unpredictable results.
[3:27] Like there's so many players in it.
[3:29] Especially now that I feel like it's a good generation in
[3:30] women's tennis. I already screwed my tickets for
[3:32] the round of 16 in Montreal. W MB AW MB A actually does a
[3:35] good job of but. I don't follow men's basketball,
[3:38] so I'm definitely. Following WMBA actually does a
[3:39] good job like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, like they're
[3:42] actually like fun to keep up with, hey.
[3:43] Angel Reese, her new contract or No, no, no, her rating.
[3:46] I was looking at her rating in the Trending Sports podcast.
[3:49] I was, I was looking at it, but she's 90 rated in the next NBA.
[3:52] She'll be a baller that rated but.
[3:54] She doesn't. She doesn't play.
[3:55] How tall is she? I.
[3:56] Don't know why. Doesn't matter.
[3:57] 'Cause she ball and. She's a, she's a, she's a
[3:59] rebounding machine. For all the NBA fans out there,
[4:02] they know she's basically the WNBA Zach Randolph.
[4:06] Yeah, I could see the vision just rebound by.
[4:08] The way you said that it sounds, it sounds like it sounds too
[4:10] good. She's she's good, but whatever I
[4:13] like. She's a special.
[4:14] I don't watch WNBA that much, I just can tell from.
[4:16] The little propped, It's a little propped, yeah.
[4:18] Like they're trying to manufacture something.
[4:19] Yeah. But honestly, women's tennis
[4:22] extremely entertaining and and the skill level, I think that's
[4:25] a big topic that people talk about as a skill level between
[4:27] men's and women's sports, but I really don't find the gap that
[4:29] crazy. Well, in in men's and men's and
[4:31] women, I don't think I really don't especially it's it's cool
[4:33] they pay them the same the as the payouts for Wimbledon are
[4:36] the same for men and women since 2007.
[4:38] It's great. No, I I think they're doing a
[4:39] great job. 3 million to win if you win.
[4:42] If you win, you get £3,000,000. But bro, if Serena Williams
[4:46] played a any top 100 tennis players?
[4:49] Yeah, they do. They do mixed double S like,
[4:51] yes, it's already a thing that you play with men to women.
[4:54] Yeah. But I'm not saying, but
[4:55] obviously like certain you can just tell by by serve speed and
[4:59] stuff like that, that like it's obviously.
[5:01] Not in a in a sport where I think tennis is one of those
[5:04] sports, especially where physical, like physical ability
[5:07] is like maxed out. If you can serve, like, way
[5:09] faster than the other person, you're beating them.
[5:11] Yeah. You're already putting them on
[5:13] the back foot off the serve. Yeah.
[5:14] And then your position over them.
[5:15] And Serena said it in many press conferences, because I don't
[5:18] even know if I'd be able to return a serve from Alcaraz or
[5:20] the from the. Alcaraz serves are insane man.
[5:23] Yeah, at the beginning I thought he had him, but then Sinner came
[5:25] back like, well. Sinner Sinner's just ridiculous.
[5:28] It's like if you have to build the prototypical perfect tennis
[5:31] player, it's like him. So Alcaraz no Sinner, long ass
[5:35] arms, tall as shit like he's like but even just his.
[5:38] Place yeah, like he knows when to attack and when to kind of
[5:40] sit back and defend. I find he's just.
[5:43] I think that's why he doesn't get the respect he deserves
[5:46] because he's so like prototypical.
[5:49] He's he covers all of his bases. He's good on defense.
[5:51] His forehand, his backhand are good.
[5:52] Like Alcaraz. I mean, Alcaraz is an amazing
[5:55] backhand, but like people always talk about his forehand, let's
[5:57] say, but he has the flair. It's literally it's like the
[5:59] Messi Ronaldo esque comparison. What are you laughing about?
[6:03] Nothing. Go.
[6:03] Keep going. Anyway it's a Messi Ronaldo
[6:05] comparison cuz Messi has the flair and Thomas Mueller AKA
[6:09] Annex Sitter has the. But Alcaraz, Alcaraz is always
[6:12] gonna get more plotted. He's always doing the more like
[6:14] public stuff, like the video of him after winning in friends,
[6:19] him going to the club and stuff like that.
[6:21] Like he's always like he's more out there like being with Travis
[6:24] Scott and stuff after like I think he's never.
[6:27] Going to be about winning. He's more, he's more of a
[6:29] marketing like I, I think Alcaraz has the the advantage
[6:33] with the marketing and whatnot. Like they they really do a good.
[6:35] Job, it's my best. Comparable is Sinner is Djokovic
[6:40] and Nadal is, well, Alcaraz is Nadal.
[6:44] That's actually Varvar. I wanted to keep this positive,
[6:46] but that's a horrible take. Why?
[6:47] Because Djokovic was Djokovic was the like, the antagonist,
[6:52] like he was the troublemaker for the longest time.
[6:54] OK, but troublemaker. But Nadal was in like public
[6:58] view, like always out there. Like like like the drip, the
[7:02] Drippy 1. Djokovic was the the like press
[7:05] conference saying crazy shit. He was like crazy.
[7:07] Like he, he was more of the bad boy and then his older age, he
[7:10] became more of the wholesome guy.
[7:12] Yeah, but you know the wholesome Djokovic.
[7:13] But. Yeah, but Djokovic, like the way
[7:16] he plays, he was like, I was speaking about it with Varvar.
[7:18] It was like this guy was a mentality monster.
[7:20] I feel like sinner's the same way.
[7:21] This guy, this guy is just literally has like tunnel
[7:24] vision. Yeah, when it comes to winning
[7:25] in competition, which is like even just as an athlete, that's
[7:29] how I how I expect the best to be.
[7:31] Both are Milan fans so. So we left that at the AC.
[7:35] Herns as a real fan. No, no, Alcaraz, yeah.
[7:37] Alcaraz A Real Madrid. Fan but Sinner and Djokovic,
[7:39] Milan. Yeah, goats, Goats to the sport.
[7:41] Yeah, I think tennis is in good hands right now.
[7:44] So it definitely got got us invested.
[7:46] Like obviously you watch when you can.
[7:48] Yeah. But now it's like I'm really
[7:50] making the effort to tune in to to center games, even the early
[7:53] rounds. Yeah, U.S.
[7:54] Open, Yeah. Soon, I just before we get into
[7:58] the actual like podcast podcast, I do have a little comparing
[8:02] gifts. So I received you may be
[8:05] questioning what is the the jersey Varvar is wearing?
[8:08] I believe now someone may kill me, but I believe it's an
[8:12] Algerian team. I'm I'm.
[8:14] I'm. 99. Percent.
[8:17] Should have been. I think it's the oldest, the
[8:20] oldest club in Algeria, I believe.
[8:22] So yeah, go grab the other kits firms 'cause I got Adm on
[8:27] Instagram and he messaged me on Discord also that he he brought
[8:33] he went to Algeria and brought back some kits.
[8:35] That's now Paula met this guy first on on subway, this on the
[8:40] subway in Montreal. Pallet was just chilling.
[8:43] He went up the pallet. He's like bro, your pallet from
[8:45] box to box. No, he's like, yeah.
[8:46] And then whatever, he joined the discord and then, well,
[8:50] basically he went to Algeria and brought us back some kits and he
[8:53] gave us a little message also. So that one, this is drip.
[8:56] Yeah, that one's a nice kit, the green and white one.
[8:58] This one's my favorite red and black.
[9:00] Looks like nice, Yeah, it's actually a very nice kit it.
[9:02] Looks like nice OK. It does.
[9:04] Look like these. Yeah, I know.
[9:05] Looks like Milan. 1946 That's an old club.
[9:07] This is 1927. I think it's right in the back.
[9:09] Yeah, it is, Yeah. These clubs and then we got this
[9:12] is Sportive Medina. Algiers.
[9:15] So that's Algiers. This one I like as well.
[9:18] Dono dono the. Club I think a Barsa region
[9:20] logo. This one's cool.
[9:21] But yeah, Usano. I met up, I met up with him.
[9:24] He gave me the kits, also dropped a message.
[9:26] We grabbed the coffee real quick too.
[9:28] He was, he was a really nice guy, so.
[9:30] Very wholesome. Very.
[9:30] Wholesome. I'll read the message.
[9:32] I told. I asked him is it OK if I read
[9:33] the message on the podcast so everyone gets a sneak peek into
[9:37] the message. So a deer box?
[9:39] The box. Just wanted to send a little
[9:40] something your way as a thank you.
[9:42] Your videos are the official sponsor of my Rd. trips.
[9:45] Inside you'll find kits from the most popular clubs in Algeria.
[9:48] Hope I got the sizes right. Oh.
[9:53] Right, and that you'll rock them in future videos.
[9:56] I wanted to come for the UCL final watch along but I had a
[9:59] flight back home that day. Gutted.
[10:02] Also check out my friend's channel at Africa Five side.
[10:05] He is Algerian Canadian doing great stuff around African
[10:08] football. Grazie kus kusami next time.
[10:11] Much love, Usama kus. Kusan Uzama, Thank you, bro.
[10:14] On him. Yeah.
[10:15] These are, these are amazing, Yeah.
[10:17] These are the goat. Osama's the goat.
[10:18] For real? Yeah.
[10:19] Extremely thoughtful man, honestly.
[10:21] Yeah. And the fact that he was willing
[10:22] to meet up and yeah, these things, it's very personal.
[10:25] I spent an hour with him. He gave me a whole rundown on
[10:28] African football, the history of African football, but.
[10:31] Do you know which team he goes for out of these?
[10:33] I was gonna say cuz he had to buy an op, yeah.
[10:36] He never told me which one he actually supported.
[10:40] He I know, I know he's a Real Madrid fan.
[10:41] So like, yeah, that's a round club.
[10:43] He has an Alger. Yeah, I'm not.
[10:45] I'm not sure. He didn't tell me like 1.
[10:46] Let's say he's Sadia. Like if I was bringing back
[10:48] someone from Sadia, I would technically have to have bought
[10:51] an an Inter kid, a Milan kid. And let's say I was a UV fan.
[10:54] I had to buy my OPS. But I think this club, one of
[10:56] these clubs, I think it's this one is the most historic club.
[10:59] But right now they're like mid table like somebody that he was
[11:02] kind of he was explaining to me no more like a Torino, I think.
[11:05] So like this is like the Torito back.
[11:07] In the day. Yeah, yeah, like it's like a
[11:10] historic club, but it's not like AI don't even know, bro.
[11:13] Look at there's no where's the club logo on this?
[11:15] Is it this? I really like that one too, but
[11:20] that must be the monster, yeah? I doubt where's the club Millie
[11:23] is. Can you read it back here?
[11:24] Is there anything back here? There's not even A tag let.
[11:26] Me. Take a look.
[11:28] I wonder how the rivalries are Nothing.
[11:30] There. Oh, it's this No.
[11:32] I might be that. Yeah, I would say so.
[11:33] It's the same logo, yeah. So MC Algier.
[11:37] Algier So supposedly that club is like one of the first story
[11:40] clubs right now. Yeah bro, Viv RFC.
[11:43] So check. Actually check Medina Medina
[11:46] expect. That team to lose the title now
[11:48] that Viv RFC wore the kit. Already wore the kit?
[11:50] By the way guys, if you guys weren't in the watch along for
[11:52] the Club World Cup final, I wore a PFG kit.
[11:56] For the first time all year, Varva decides to wear a PSG kit
[12:00] for a PSG live stream. They end up losing 3.
[12:02] Now, yeah, that's what we'll be talking about that.
[12:04] But this, this is OSM, they're mid table there.
[12:07] Maybe it's this one, yeah. K yeah.
[12:08] So it's. That one and.
[12:09] What's the other? One, we have two stars, so.
[12:11] They have two. Makes a lot of sense.
[12:13] Yeah, but yeah, shout out. Watch along Algiers, Algiers. 42
[12:18] Shout out Osama the goat. Yeah Boy 2 always want to
[12:22] support Canadian creators like ourselves.
[12:24] Yeah. Africa 5 aside.
[12:26] I'll tell you exactly at Africa five side, 5 side.
[12:31] So not five US side, five side. Yeah, if you're a fan of African
[12:35] football. And last thing and you have
[12:37] something else person not going sports.
[12:40] If you guys didn't see on our main channel, we released our I
[12:43] mean it's our the successor to the one V8 video where Varvar
[12:45] was Barbara was debating. But this time we all debated.
[12:48] So I'm I think that kind of aligns with the podcast type of
[12:51] content because it's just straight debating.
[12:52] Yeah, not, not much rage. Bait also had a New York vlog
[12:55] that we released. True, that's true.
[12:57] We can explain. It was a lot of fun to record,
[12:59] like doing that's. True.
[13:00] Now it's out. Yeah, we spoke about it.
[13:02] Yeah. Yeah.
[13:02] So like doing a meeting up with a bunch of other creators like
[13:05] like I and it's crazy because I've watched a bunch of those
[13:08] creators. So it's crazy doing collabs with
[13:11] them now. And it was a lot of fun.
[13:12] It was a lot of fun. Seeing our comments, you can see
[13:15] who watches like both channels. Yeah, crossover is crazy, like
[13:18] Zeeland, Box of Box Cloud, but I never thought I needed.
[13:20] So like you see, like we have people that watch FM content.
[13:23] Actually Zealand been putting on a lot of IRL content recently.
[13:27] So I mean, it was just cool to see all those creators and and
[13:30] see people that are interfaced too, you know?
[13:32] Yeah, they're all great, great people.
[13:33] Yeah, honestly, they were extremely nice.
[13:35] Yeah. And the video was fun to record,
[13:37] like the fact that we were like moving location by location,
[13:40] like. And it's there's a lot of
[13:41] logistics there. So before you start recording,
[13:43] you're worrying, OK, is it gonna like pan out?
[13:45] Is it gonna actually like look good on camera and stuff?
[13:48] But we're actually really happy. With it, but it was so smooth,
[13:50] like they were so easy to work with.
[13:51] Yeah, no complaints at all. Yeah, shout out to our camera
[13:54] guys also. Yeah, definitely put in the put
[13:56] in the work first like they they did a good job for.
[13:58] Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they did.
[13:59] But yeah. Let's get into some Football
[14:02] Club World Cup final. Chelsea come out on top 30
[14:05] versus PSGI. Did not think PSG can get
[14:08] dominated like that. I didn't think it was possible.
[14:10] A team that was in for the quintuple ended up losing 3 nil
[14:14] in the finals, actually kind of crazy.
[14:16] And Chelsea didn't really play anyone strong in this tournament
[14:18] before that. That's that's why you could kind
[14:20] of point to OK, maybe PSG were fatigued.
[14:22] Chelsea had a bit more like freshness to them, I guess, but
[14:27] what a game by Enzo Mareska in his squad.
[14:29] Because three nil versus PSG, I don't care if they're tired.
[14:32] Like, that's still an incredible result.
[14:33] And we also saw those videos of Enzo overthinking before the
[14:36] game in the training sessions as he was like wiping his head.
[14:39] Also, what did he see during that game?
[14:41] Oh yeah, that's that's the one before.
[14:42] A. Little He had a little itch.
[14:45] But people were saying oh Mariska is on his pep vibes,
[14:49] overthinking everything and a lot of question marks but he
[14:52] ended up doing pretty well. I had a question because looking
[14:55] at that like, I mean, we just watched Chelsea beat the the
[14:58] Champions League winners. Yeah.
[14:59] Treble winners, Yeah, where they were quadruple, quadruple
[15:02] winners or tuple, as I would say.
[15:03] Yeah, exactly. The stream.
[15:05] Is Chelsea a favorite in the Champions League next season?
[15:09] Or is that too too bold to say right?
[15:11] Now, how are what you're considering the favorite or?
[15:13] No, a favorite within the top? I'd say 54.
[15:16] Who right now, if you add to OK, so here we're going to list
[15:20] right now, make your choices, OK?
[15:22] Who has a better chance of winning Champions League next
[15:23] year, Chelsea or PSG, PSG. PSG.
[15:26] I agree PSG. Barcelona.
[15:28] Chelsea or Barcelona? Barcelona, but it gets closer.
[15:31] But it's Barcelona, Barsa. Barsa, Chelsea or Inter?
[15:34] Chelsea. Sure, Chelsea.
[15:36] Chelsea. Billy Billy, a great Inter fan
[15:39] once told me you need 15 players, you need 15 Starting
[15:42] level players 88. They have. 1818 they got 20,
[15:46] Chelsea got 20. They got they got 80 on their
[15:49] team. Have two teams they can rotate.
[15:50] They have. Three teams, they can rotate
[15:51] these. Guys, So now Chelsea, Liverpool.
[15:53] Who has a better Liverpool? Liverpool.
[15:55] Liverpool, I would say, also Chelsea, Arsenal.
[15:58] That one's arsenal. I would say Arsenal, right?
[16:00] I would. Actually say Arsenal, I agree.
[16:02] So we have. Three, but take out the stigma
[16:03] of Arsenal, because they're Arsenal, you know they're never
[16:06] going to win shit. I hate that argument though the.
[16:08] Team I think has a better if you wiped off the badges because
[16:12] Chelsea has way more aura than Arsenal.
[16:14] If you wiped off the badges you would have to say Arsenal.
[16:18] Yes, so that's four teams that we have going through Bayern.
[16:22] Bayern is a tricky situation. Bayern's a tricky situation.
[16:26] They're missing a couple of pieces.
[16:28] Who's more likely to make a semi final out?
[16:30] It's weird. I would say Byron, but who's
[16:32] more likely to win it? I would say.
[16:33] Chelsea, Chelsea's gonna get a Mickey Mouse run, bro.
[16:35] I just know what's gonna happen. And the final one I'll put out
[16:38] there, Real Madrid. Well, also there's two more Real
[16:40] Madrid. It's another tricky one, real
[16:42] 'cause you don't know what direction.
[16:43] But you're just saying Real because it's Real Madrid.
[16:46] Yeah, wipe the badges. Because Millie watching
[16:48] recently. Like there's no reason to say
[16:50] Real Madrid. I agree they got shit run by
[16:52] PSG. I don't know.
[16:55] But I won't say Chelsea cause. Why it's Real Madrid.
[16:58] I'm just not setting myself up for a clip by the end of the
[17:00] year that I said Chelsea have a better chance at Real Madrid.
[17:02] But I I think it's pretty close, I mind you.
[17:04] This is this is right after a Club World Cup final where they
[17:07] they definitely like prove themselves to be a a good team.
[17:11] And last club Man City, Chelsea or Man City?
[17:14] Another tricky 1. They'll say Man City.
[17:16] But we're saying it because of the history.
[17:17] We're not saying it. Yeah.
[17:18] I think Chelsea. Why?
[17:19] Honestly think Chelsea. Chelsea, Chelsea, Man City have
[17:22] done nothing. Chelsea have beat in Man City
[17:24] this year. Well, Chelsea wasn't realistic.
[17:26] Like realistically, they weren't like world beaters this Club
[17:30] World Cup. They weren't world beaters.
[17:32] Don't judge it off, they made top 4.
[17:33] They won the. Cup you were judging it right
[17:35] off after a three nothing versus PSG like.
[17:37] They made they made top four in the Prem, They won Conference
[17:40] League. They haven't really missed beat,
[17:41] Yeah, but. The top 4 was like they they
[17:44] were very solid, but they were very solid in the top 4.
[17:47] Remember the beginning of the year when they were like Enzo
[17:50] Marisco? Oh my God, he down the last.
[17:51] Day, by the way, but yeah. Yeah.
[17:53] But yeah, a bunch of other results happened at the same
[17:55] time that were very predictable. But I'm pretty sure at the start
[17:57] of the day Chelsea were actually out of the top 4:00.
[17:59] AM I mistaken or? No, Started what?
[18:01] Were they Chelsea out of the top four at the start of the day?
[18:04] No, Actually they might have been at the start of the.
[18:05] Day they were in and. It was for them to lose, I
[18:07] think. Yeah, they beat.
[18:09] Nottingham Forest on the last day, I believe.
[18:11] Potentially, yeah. But so basically what we just
[18:15] determined is there like. 6. Is there like 6?
[18:18] Yeah, that's crazy. But I mean top 6IN what?
[18:20] That I would say top six favorites for CL.
[18:22] Oh, they're six to seven. Yeah, I really don't.
[18:25] Think we have this conversation if they will.
[18:27] The the the difference today were players like Cole Palmer
[18:30] and Robert Sanchez because I I should on Robert Sanchez even
[18:34] though there was 1 little mistake there pointed out.
[18:37] Even Chelsea found shit on. Robert, because he's so
[18:39] inconsistent, when a goalkeeper can put in a performance like
[18:42] this, you're probably saying he can probably go and start for
[18:46] Spain type level. Like, this was the performance
[18:48] today where you're like, like there was one save, the Robert
[18:51] Sanchez save where he palmed it, where you're like.
[18:53] A Dembele. Bro that's that's like a world.
[18:56] Class, I just wouldn't be too reactionary on it because I
[18:58] agree. I think we've seen it all year
[19:00] that he's been making mistakes here and there and people have
[19:04] turned on him. So now that now what?
[19:05] We're going back a. Scenario for Chelsea.
[19:07] You know, it's just good that he showed up at the right time,
[19:10] but. I agree.
[19:11] I agree they should definitely invest on another goalkeeper.
[19:14] A goalkeeper that you the one thing you don't want is a is a
[19:17] inconsistent. Yes, 100.
[19:18] Like other positions you can manage but if he does this one
[19:21] day great, but if on another day he loses you 3 points, useless.
[19:25] That's the Andrea Nana's situation.
[19:27] Alana's had Spurs of like very good moments, but.
[19:30] And Cole Palmer on the other side finals and this guy makes
[19:34] it seem like it's it's games against Preston like you.
[19:37] Got the X. Sometimes you got to raise your
[19:38] hands and say Cole Palmer, I disrespected you a little bit
[19:42] too much. The problem, my problem with
[19:44] Cole Palmer is he looks like he doesn't give a shit and some
[19:47] games that looking like he doesn't give a shit.
[19:49] He truly just plays like he doesn't care.
[19:50] That's the mentality. And today he looked like he
[19:52] didn't care until he just turned up and decided to win the game
[19:54] for his. Club, yeah.
[19:55] So it looks like confidence to me, like every time he shows up,
[19:58] it's, it's like he's dialed, you know, he is.
[20:00] He shows up to a Club World Cup final game against PSG the same
[20:03] way he shows up to a game against Southampton.
[20:05] Yeah, like it's like the same thing for him.
[20:07] So in big moments like this, the moment doesn't get to him.
[20:10] Yeah, I think what we were singing on stream, he has ten
[20:12] goals and assists in six finals or 7 finals.
[20:15] It's like it's a ridiculous amount.
[20:16] This guy is genuinely world class, like a top 15 player in
[20:21] the world. I would say he's a Man United
[20:23] fan. Bring him over to Old Trafford.
[20:26] Like he keeps lifting. We need him.
[20:27] He's not. He's not doing City, Chelsea,
[20:29] United. He's not downgrading.
[20:30] Imagine. I really don't think Chelsea's
[20:32] one of those teams that need money.
[20:34] Raheem Sterling did Raheem Sterling did Liverpool Chelsea
[20:37] Man City Liverpool Man City Chelsea What?
[20:40] Fan. What fan is he?
[20:41] He's. Actually, a Man United.
[20:43] Probably an Arsenal fan. I'm not even kidding.
[20:45] He's a Man United. Everyone is apparently.
[20:47] Yeah, no, he is. I played.
[20:49] For everyone except for me, exactly.
[20:50] For Man United. Exactly, but he should have
[20:52] picked him up. I swear he's a Man United fan
[20:54] so. What does that tell you about
[20:55] Man United fans? That we're fucking sick
[20:58] footballers. I don't know, maybe I still got
[21:01] a chance. I had a chance.
[21:04] It's just my knee, you know, like that.
[21:05] I had that one tackle there that, like, really fucks up.
[21:08] You're the Luke Shaw of amateur football.
[21:10] Exactly. Exactly.
[21:11] Those who know, no. Never got an injury but.
[21:13] But but I want, I do think that Palm, like the way that Madeska
[21:18] set up this game was was perfect, Yeah, because both
[21:21] Palmer goals were identical. Like right, right in front of
[21:24] that defensive line, bit of space, able to curl in that
[21:28] bottom corner. It's like I couldn't believe the
[21:30] way PSG was playing. But Aldo was absolutely dog.
[21:33] Shit, Oh my God was horrendous. One of the worst performances I
[21:36] think I've watched in my life. Like actually like.
[21:38] You're so late, so reactionary. OK, it's not Baka Yoko every
[21:41] day. Something OK, it's the worst
[21:43] ever. Worse than it, he's ever seen it
[21:44] was. Bad, Let's leave it at Baka Yoko
[21:46] versus Watford or Casamiro versus Liverpool.
[21:49] But it's, it's it's pretty bad. Like that was you could argue he
[21:54] was at fault for at least two of the three goals.
[21:56] Yes, yeah, he was a. Two almost 3.
[21:59] I really, I really struggled to think that it like I I can't
[22:03] believe that one player and it like the the game turned on its
[22:06] head because if Paco was there, there's a realistic chance that
[22:09] this out much closer. That's why.
[22:10] PSGR linked to centre backs like Zabarni that would help a lot,
[22:13] pay a lot of money because. Yeah, I see the vision now.
[22:15] I have to change my rating on. Yeah, exactly.
[22:17] Because Beraldo ain't that. Guy, yeah, but.
[22:19] But apart from Beraldo making the mistake like you're looking
[22:22] at the PSGT they were just toothless.
[22:24] Like you're not saying oh they played horrendously, you're just
[22:27] saying Chelsea was way better in every aspect.
[22:29] Being realistic, they probably should have scored one.
[22:32] I mean, there was a Robert Sanchez.
[22:34] Ridiculous. Yeah, that dumbbelly they.
[22:35] Probably should have scored one and there was there was a couple
[22:38] like the the Kukudela goal line but not goal line clearance.
[22:41] But like where he blocked the the the like that should have
[22:44] been a goal. Also the Duane.
[22:45] So that was a crazy guy, created nothing, but they obviously
[22:48] didn't do enough to win the game.
[22:49] Yeah, you know, so. Yeah, I know.
[22:51] Clearly Dembele really poor showing.
[22:54] Yeah, did not show up. Cavada the way very poor
[22:56] showings as well. It just seemed like they were
[22:58] all making poor decisions, but. I finally got locked up like
[23:01] Dembele was absolutely invisible.
[23:02] But there, there were errand passes like these, like there's,
[23:05] there were moments in the game where they kicked the ball out
[23:07] themselves, like, yeah, with no pressure on them.
[23:09] It was like it was a completely off game.
[23:11] Usually these guys are like telepathic with the way they're
[23:13] passing. Yeah.
[23:14] And Kaisito was dominant the fact that he he locked up Vitina
[23:17] and Drawn who were really who were usually able to run around
[23:20] the field with their little passes.
[23:21] It looked non existent. The Virginia did not have a good
[23:23] game. Oh.
[23:24] Virginia was moving the ball, but to no one, to nothing.
[23:26] What? What do we think about the
[23:27] Kukudala little rage bait session?
[23:29] I hate kukudair. That was a 10 on 10 rage bait.
[23:31] It worked that that was a classic textbook rage bait.
[23:34] That's one. That's the one you put in the
[23:35] text. I'm.
[23:35] Starting to like Kukudala low key after calling the worst
[23:39] footballer in the world. Little rage bait session like
[23:41] that that'll get you in the good books above RFC.
[23:43] You know, we we we appreciate a good little rage bait sesh and
[23:47] that was a 10 out of 10 I. Didn't know he had a rage bait
[23:49] in him. Oh, no, he's like, no, but now
[23:53] he's refining his trade. Yeah, he's been.
[23:55] Really good he had. Pure.
[23:56] He had pure like just like shithousing in him, but I don't
[23:58] think he had a tactical rage you.
[23:59] Used to hate him because he was just like a little shit face.
[24:02] Yeah, but that. Like.
[24:03] There's an art. Varvar FC can appreciate that
[24:06] he. Planted the seed, went away with
[24:08] binoculars, watched it and then attacked when.
[24:10] He needed to like he he, he saw it before it happened.
[24:13] And this is the thing he could he.
[24:14] Predicted earlier. That's like me with firms.
[24:16] I see some. I predict the response before I
[24:18] even say it. I already know what you're.
[24:20] Gonna say I don't know. Milan shit I came from, I don't
[24:24] know, what do you want me to say to?
[24:25] That, that's like bringing up. That's like bringing up a Milan
[24:28] transfer from 2019. You bring up a Milan transfer
[24:31] and then you slowly just edge the conversation into Milan
[24:34] being shit. Dean Housing for 15 No though.
[24:37] They're. Listen, listen sometimes and you
[24:39] got to know when the rage may dries out and that's the
[24:41] situation where the rage may just dried out.
[24:43] That's that's where you vent this one, that one.
[24:45] That one, don't worry. That's why you vent this God.
[24:48] Because it doesn't quite rage me the same it did at the
[24:50] beginning, you know? But but but but Kukoria could
[24:52] have done it so much earlier. But the fact that he did a
[24:55] three, nothing, 85th minute. Is it useful Cherry?
[24:59] Useless rage mate. It was a cherry on top because
[25:01] it's like, but that's when they're most mortalized.
[25:03] Exactly. That's like me with the inter
[25:05] life the the seal final. Life kick, that's like, that's
[25:08] like. The Juventus fan in the back
[25:10] yelling like like it's a Maratha league.
[25:12] It's Maratha league and he waited until it was like 40 to.
[25:15] Start ripping to start ripping. I hear his voice till till 3.
[25:19] To be fair he was saying that shit though.
[25:21] Yeah. But footballing wise though,
[25:24] Cucarella has been very consistent this year, which is
[25:26] crazy to say because Brother which fullback has really
[25:30] destroyed him this year. I think he is a bit overly
[25:32] aggressive, like he, he, he's. He has his moments where he's
[25:36] stupid. Yes, and I feel like like in in
[25:39] bigger, well, you can't really say bigger games, but like.
[25:42] But like he locked up in. Games where the team isn't so
[25:45] defensively solid, he would get exposed in my.
[25:48] Personal Were you talking about Chelsea?
[25:49] The. Yeah, like the the aggression
[25:51] that he showed, like there leaves a lot of space in behind,
[25:55] like. Yeah, but look at today.
[25:57] Duway was almost invisible as well, except that chance where
[26:00] Cocadella put in the. Table.
[26:03] He was probably 1 of PSG's best players.
[26:05] Kugurla did well though. I.
[26:06] Think Barcola should have started over?
[26:08] Barcola. Didn't even came on I.
[26:09] Don't think he did that great. I thought he was decent when he
[26:12] came on. Well, he started last game,
[26:13] right? Their last game, him and Alize
[26:15] in the Bayern game, they were both the the main guys on their
[26:18] club. But one thing about Kukurea we
[26:21] forget. I think this is one of the most
[26:22] expensive fullbacks of all time. It's 50 mil 6565.
[26:26] So that's what transformer, It's probably £55 million. 15 for the
[26:29] rage B. Yeah, 15 for the rage B.
[26:31] Brighton's been getting, but Brighton and Chelsea have been
[26:33] getting the bag. Bro like I think Joe Cansello
[26:36] was 60 million. To where city?
[26:39] No. Well, that was a swap deal.
[26:41] That was swap deal to where Jacques Cancello was never 60
[26:43] million Saudi to Saudi maybe. No, I think it was like 30, no.
[26:47] Anyway, I don't know, I'm trying to think of over 65,000,000
[26:51] fullbacks. Hakimi was what?
[26:54] 5045. No, he was not 80.
[26:57] He's 50. Kaku was 80. 100% he was 50.
[27:01] But 100 and 110 almost. All let's say bro you spend
[27:04] 65,000,000 on him. The guy better be good.
[27:06] We hold them. That's the thing with Chelsea
[27:08] transfers is you hold them up to like this like false standard as
[27:11] if they didn't just get signed for a bag and a half.
[27:13] It's get in's next summer, next next season.
[27:16] They just spent 65,000,000 on him.
[27:18] This guy should not be a rotation player Any other club
[27:20] in the world. If you spend 65,000,000 on a
[27:22] winger, that brother better be starting for your club.
[27:24] Like you get flamed if he wasn't good.
[27:25] Exactly. Yeah, Yeah, but we hold Chelsea
[27:27] to a different standard 'cause they have money.
[27:29] There should be an and asterisks next to Chelsea because of how
[27:31] much they spend. If you look at the actual top
[27:34] clubs in the world right now, they have like look at PSG today
[27:37] we say, Oh my God, they're solo run.
[27:39] They're solo run. This brother just pulled off in
[27:41] $100 million striker off the bench.
[27:43] By the way, in Guangalo Ramos, you have Zaire Emery making
[27:47] hundreds of thousands a week off the bench.
[27:49] Like there there's there is obviously very well.
[27:53] Baraldo was 35 mil and that brother was dog shit today.
[27:56] So like they're they're. Actually, Nuno Mendez from
[27:59] Sporting was around 6:50 mil. Yeah, it's around 50 mil.
[28:02] So there is a direct correlation and this is with any sport, the
[28:06] more you spend the more you win. So it's kind of sad, but look
[28:12] hands up they they less on Chelsea's POV, more on PSG
[28:16] because they didn't spend 2 billion on this fucking team.
[28:19] But. But it's also like bro, for like
[28:21] a Moises Caisero who obviously they spent a lot on, you need to
[28:25] spend a lot to not have them go to another team.
[28:28] Like Moses Caiseto maybe back in hindsight wasn't 120 mil or
[28:32] whatever he was, but who knows if maybe an Arsenal would have
[28:35] gotten him or a man they were ready to pay for it.
[28:37] Exactly. It was it was Liverpool versus
[28:38] Chelsea for Caiseto. So you needed to spend a little
[28:40] bit extra premium to secure a Caiseto who's now like a pillar
[28:44] for Chelsea. Yes, but you have to understand
[28:46] is that. You give me.
[28:48] You get. You could.
[28:48] I'm not even kidding. You could have given me $2
[28:51] billion as a Chelsea sporting director and I could have gotten
[28:54] you a competent team podcast. I agree.
[28:58] You think I'm that crazy? That's crazy.
[29:00] You think I can't watch Champions League every week and
[29:03] Premier League every week and you gave me $2 billion and I can
[29:05] build you a decent. Yeah.
[29:07] I don't think it's that easy bro.
[29:08] I think it is that. You're dumbing down a whole
[29:11] entire way. Of saying win a Club World Cup
[29:13] final, I'm saying you don't think I could build a team that
[29:16] would make top 6, let's say with Chelsea.
[29:18] Because. Because by the time you watch a
[29:20] game and you say, Oh my God, this player is good, I'm going
[29:23] to go buy him. There's already scouts from six
[29:27] months ago. That bro.
[29:29] Bro, you don't think you don't? Buying him out of high.
[29:31] You don't. You personally don't think
[29:33] everyone in this room, we watched Enzo Fernandez, we knew
[29:36] he was a good player. Yeah, he's not worth 100 and
[29:39] fucking 5 million or 110 million.
[29:41] We haven't paid for him. But but yeah, exactly.
[29:44] You wouldn't have bought him the premium.
[29:45] Worth 100 million. The premium came because you won
[29:47] the World Cup and they go back. I could have watched Alexis
[29:50] McAllister and tell you he's worth 35 mil though.
[29:52] But maybe there's something about squad fit.
[29:54] Maybe Alexis McAllister wouldn't have been a good squad fit.
[29:57] But that's why it's that's why he said if he was the Chelsea
[30:00] director and he was like then you're speaking to the manager
[30:02] and you see what the manager needs.
[30:04] Yeah, but I find there's so many other aspects, like even locker
[30:07] room. How is he going to fit into the?
[30:08] Locker room, you have two billion.
[30:09] This ain't FIFA that you're throwing out cash and you're
[30:11] building a team. They are though.
[30:13] They did they. They are there.
[30:14] Was no direction to the transfer, it was just buy young
[30:17] players that don't want high wages and just sign them to 10
[30:19] year contracts that was. Literally, there are very good
[30:22] signings in there like Andre Santos.
[30:24] Like that's one of the exemplary signings that they've made.
[30:28] But a lot of their signings, I could have told you this guy was
[30:31] going to be a good player like Enzo Fernandez and Moise
[30:34] Caiseto. Doesn't take a rocket scientist
[30:36] to buy these players. Yeah, no Palmer hands up,
[30:38] amazing signing. No one really saw that level of
[30:41] player. Like hands up Nico Jackson, low
[30:43] key 35 mill is a good deal. Like that's a good deal.
[30:46] But a Pedro Neto for 60 million, that's that's he's worth that or
[30:50] maybe even less like. That yeah, no, it actually does
[30:53] lead to a question when you spend 2,000,000 on a squad like
[30:56] Chelsea does, should the 2 billion when you spend 2,000,000
[30:59] on a squad like Chelsea was doing 2 billion, I said 2
[31:01] million and he. Ran it back.
[31:03] He said 2 billion two. Million on the like that. 2
[31:07] million I was. Thinking about the City on
[31:09] transfers but no when you spend 2 billion on a squad like
[31:12] Chelsea does, should the bar be winning conference league,
[31:15] winning Club World Cup and making top four in the Prem?
[31:17] The. Issue at Chelsea is that they
[31:18] started off so shit so we set the bar down there, but it's
[31:23] still they spent 2 billion. The bar should be up here, but
[31:26] they the bar is so though because they started off like
[31:29] such shit that we think of them as this underdog story.
[31:31] Right now it's not. No, they.
[31:32] Spent 2 billion fucking dollars. And Chelsea fans do that.
[31:35] They act like the underdog, like, oh, you know, like we
[31:38] shouldn't be this far into our build by the by now, you know I.
[31:40] Don't know. I don't think they're acting
[31:42] like underdogs. Like Barbara said.
[31:44] It's like before, before the season start started, they said
[31:48] conference league lock, they're supposed to win it.
[31:51] If they didn't win it, that was a failure and they won it so.
[31:54] They're they're who is the second best team in Conference
[31:56] league. Exactly the the standard was to
[31:58] fucking win it their. Side is 2020 because I know if
[32:01] they would have lost they would have said well it's conference
[32:03] we weren't paying attention trying to make talk for in the
[32:04] Prem. They're the easiest $2 billion.
[32:08] The standards are playing. Fucking Conference League is
[32:10] embarrassed. I have some numbers here.
[32:12] I looked up some numbers, OK, when they got taken over by Todd
[32:15] Bailey, our rivals in 20/22/23, they spent 630 million in that,
[32:21] just in that transfer window. Yep.
[32:22] And players like that was where Enzo Fernandez came in Fofana.
[32:26] Fofana is a. Bull sign. 80 million on Fofana.
[32:28] The worst offender St. of all time.
[32:30] Mudrick 70 million Raheem Sterling 56.
[32:34] Cooley Bali 40. Body of Shield 30. 8 Angel Reese
[32:37] that line. But nobody, but nobody.
[32:41] It's crazy that the discourse isn't that they're all flops.
[32:44] Like they don't, we don't talk about.
[32:46] My God, Mudrick is a flop. Come on.
[32:49] But nobody talks about Mudrick. Gets 1% of the hate that sounds.
[32:53] Because he's not even playing like Sancho has played and.
[32:56] Where's the Fofano was 80 million.
[32:58] McGuire was 80 million. McGuire was way better.
[33:01] The reason why is because Chelsea made top four and Man
[33:04] United didn't. When when McGuire signed for Man
[33:07] United, we finished second and. And he was called the flop.
[33:10] How was he called the flop then? Because it was a blunders like
[33:13] they they'd highlight the Super small then.
[33:15] You finished second. We.
[33:16] Finished it was by like 20 points.
[33:18] I think they started calling McGuire shit when he started
[33:20] falling behind. No, no, when you were second.
[33:22] Soon as he fucking came, because that was because he was.
[33:24] Like my God, he's a record defender.
[33:26] Meanwhile, Fofano was 80 million.
[33:27] This guy's probably has less than 40 appearances for.
[33:30] Chelsea. Not a peep.
[33:31] Not a peep about it I. Apologize McGuire.
[33:32] Bro that guy got so much hate then Chelsea decided to do that.
[33:35] They probably have 5 signings over 70 million that we don't
[33:38] get on. Raheem Sterling, I really.
[33:39] Thought, 6,000,000. Good at all?
[33:41] Both then the following window, 2324 they spent 464,000,000.
[33:45] Like we're looking at what our club spend over a fucking
[33:48] decade. That's what the league spends.
[33:49] And I'm looking at players like Google, Chuku for 27 million,
[33:53] Nicholas Jackson was 37. I'd say that's a good signing.
[33:56] Desazi 45,000,000, terrible. It's not a good signing.
[33:58] Cole Palmer 47, amazing, That's an amazing deal.
[34:02] And Kunku, 60 million terrible. So another turn off load.
[34:05] So in a billion dollars, though only one exceptional signing was
[34:08] Cole Palmer. Bro they're.
[34:09] Except they're sporting directors are not amazing.
[34:12] Like they're, they're literally, let's say they made a 100
[34:14] signings, they're shooting 40%. Volume shooters, that's.
[34:17] Pedro Neto for 60. Is that a?
[34:18] Is that a? That's a whatever, that's a
[34:20] that's. I agree it's a Bay High but he's
[34:22] an alright player. Shelf Felix 52. 52 mil Yeah
[34:25] blop. Bro that's actually maybe the
[34:28] worst transfer You you. Read out later.
[34:30] Six months later he was on loan cause.
[34:31] Bro, he signed an 8 year contract.
[34:33] Who's Mike Pender's goalkeeper? He's young.
[34:36] He's he might actually be good. He might actually be good.
[34:38] They're saying that. Second Courtois, they're saying.
[34:41] OK, Yeah, no, he's going Omari Kellyman.
[34:42] I think he's just. That was that was money, money
[34:45] laundering that 122 mil. Yeah, because then Aston Villa
[34:48] bought a youth Blair off of them for like, fucking.
[34:50] Yeah, but then why did they go? Why did they sign Jorgensen for
[34:52] 25 mil? Lord knows and Jorgensen's not
[34:55] worth more than 25 now. No.
[34:57] But if you have, like you said, you act like there's a
[35:00] direction, there's no direction to the signings.
[35:01] They just eat that bitch. I'm just saying right now.
[35:05] Well, yeah, these are misses. Bro you you unload a.
[35:08] Class Steph Curry, like Steph Curry shoots 100 threes.
[35:11] He's making all them bitches. This is a DeMar DeRozan.
[35:15] Eat that bitch from half court. A couple of them are going to go
[35:18] in. No shit.
[35:19] You take enough shots, one of them, yeah.
[35:20] But you airball in most of those, yeah.
[35:23] All I'm saying is that like if the results end up coming in the
[35:25] end, like who cares how you got that?
[35:27] The app right now is looking like a myth.
[35:29] You can't say right now it's looking like a myth.
[35:31] You. Can't say that because you use
[35:32] that same argument against the Premier League clubs when you
[35:35] say that their spending is unwarranted and it's not
[35:37] organized. Like it's not It's you.
[35:39] You say when the Prem overspend on players and Varva answers you
[35:42] by saying well bro it's the Prem we have the money.
[35:44] You say bro just mismanagement is just mismanagement.
[35:46] Like we all say that because we're from Seria and for us 1010
[35:49] mil is like. Well, no, I think like like they
[35:52] spent, let's take 300 mil. They made the money back by
[35:55] winning this tournament. OK, You know what, also I will
[35:57] say this just to defend Chelsea, like if you look at the
[35:59] departures. Yes, it's.
[36:00] They're the. Best selling, Yeah, like.
[36:02] They're making 200 a 150 million.
[36:04] They're the best selling team in the world, yeah.
[36:05] They get the most value out of their sales out of any team in
[36:09] the world. When you spend 650 million and
[36:11] your departures are 250, you still spend net 400 million,
[36:14] yes, but like a summer, like this summer, let's say where
[36:18] they're about to sell Medway K for 55,000,000, which is an
[36:20] incredible sale. Like and let's say you sell
[36:22] Nicholas Jackson for even 60 million or whatever.
[36:25] That's an incredible sale. So I don't think they will to
[36:27] be. Honest, I don't think they will
[36:27] either, but we'll see. Maybe.
[36:29] But even the departures like Omari Hutchinson for 23.
[36:33] Bro, that's a good sale. That's.
[36:34] Great bro, he hasn't done. Shit, yeah, he hasn't done shit
[36:36] really since he Ian. Matson. 44 million didn't do
[36:39] much at Aston Villa. I don't.
[36:40] I don't think he's a bad player who's not a bad player.
[36:42] He's not worth 44. Million.
[36:43] That's in Conor Gallagher, 42. That's that's a whatever say
[36:46] but. I'm saying what you're like, he
[36:47] was the first you let go of a Conor makes.
[36:49] Him out for 60 bro. OK, yes, that one an amazing
[36:52] deal. You.
[36:52] You let go of Conor Gallagher for 42 mil.
[36:54] You signed Romeo Lavia for 60 mil.
[36:57] Would you? You.
[36:57] Just you. You.
[36:58] Started off amazing. You missed.
[37:02] Yeah, and you spent twenty extra mil on that miss.
[37:04] So like, yeah, your departures, you're getting numbers in there.
[37:06] But like, I don't know, I feel like some of these players you
[37:08] could have just kept. It really depends because I
[37:12] think, well, it has taken maybe three years to really get an
[37:17] idea as to okay, the team has the pieces now let's see how
[37:20] they do in Champions League. They they meet top four, they
[37:23] meet top four, top four in the Premier.
[37:24] Like ultimately the results is that they got top four, they won
[37:28] their conferencing that they were expected.
[37:29] To win 2 billion you you. Should win, you shouldn't be
[37:32] making. Top. 4 But but you do
[37:34] understand, look at the first year when they joined.
[37:36] It was horribly mismanaged. Now they're trying to fix those
[37:39] things when and now we're they're they're back kind of on.
[37:41] This is exactly like it's crazy because it's the same club
[37:44] twice. When Abramovich took over
[37:46] Chelsea, yeah, they spent ridiculous amounts of money.
[37:48] Then they won CL and Prem. They didn't and right away, it's
[37:52] not a five year thing. It will.
[37:54] They want it right away. It was they spent we have
[37:58] financial rules because of Roman Abramovich because of how much
[38:00] of the spending basically now Todd Bailey became Roman of
[38:04] Ravage 2 point O, but instead it's three years later and
[38:07] whatever you can see this Club World cups, his first like major
[38:09] trophy. I kind of disagree but he still
[38:13] hasn't won a Prem more Champions League.
[38:15] But then he's. About to play his first fucking
[38:17] games at Champions League. But I still think like you look
[38:20] at the youth products they've pulled out over the years,
[38:23] they're they're selling good pieces that maybe they should
[38:26] like. They're buying dog shit.
[38:29] I wouldn't say this is dog shit completely.
[38:30] But they're shooting 50. They're shooting 50 from the
[38:32] field. Would if you look at that
[38:33] starting 11, would you say that's a $2 billion team?
[38:36] No. If you looked at the starting
[38:38] elevens of of Chelsea and PSG that played today and I told you
[38:42] one of them cost 2 billion, which one would you say cost 2
[38:44] billion? The PSG one.
[38:46] Makes sense? Because they're they have the
[38:48] better players. So I don't know, I I think.
[38:51] But yet they they beat PSG. So what?
[38:54] PSG just won the Champions League.
[38:56] OK, but in this game? Play each other 50 times.
[38:58] PSG is going to beat them more times than Chelsea beat them.
[39:01] OK, that's a hypothetical now. So you're saying that Chelsea is
[39:03] a better team than PSG? No, I'm just what do?
[39:06] You mean I just said that's? What you just implied.
[39:08] Yeah, you just implied. Really.
[39:09] I just said Chelsea won this game bro.
[39:11] There's times where PSG is going to win and there's times where
[39:13] Chelsea beat them 30. Like how can we just disregard
[39:16] the fact that they don't beat 30?
[39:18] There's times where with the same time 150 against Inter.
[39:21] There's times where Magnus Carlsen plays someone and loses,
[39:24] but he's still the best chess player in the world.
[39:26] Bubber always does chess analogy.
[39:27] Did you guys notice that he usually walks on his chess?
[39:30] Analogy. I actually don't even know how
[39:32] to play chess. That's fucking him well.
[39:34] I know how to play chess. Like I know this fucking piece
[39:37] moves there type shit OK, but like openings and shit moves
[39:40] there. This piece I'm going to use that
[39:42] strategy. And he's using it.
[39:43] Chest on TV brothers there. Oh my goodness, he used this
[39:47] piece. Fucking this strategy.
[39:50] Let's see how he counted. Oh, he's using the I'm going to
[39:52] do this shit. Open Magnus.
[39:55] This piece fucking moves there. Get your queen off the board.
[39:57] What's the name of this piece of good?
[39:59] OK, the Rook. OK.
[40:00] All I'm saying, all I'm saying is that a PSG also spent just as
[40:04] much, but they've got the result, which was the Champions
[40:07] League, and everyone's saying, oh, this is an amazing team
[40:09] because they optimized, because they optimized that they spent
[40:12] the same amount though. No, but that stigma that they
[40:14] had when they had the Mbapes, the Neymar that they couldn't
[40:17] win, that was 400, that was almost 400 million just off of
[40:20] those two transfers. But they got the result.
[40:24] Yeah, but that Champions League happened without them and
[40:26] without Messi and without a bunch of those.
[40:29] Players, they still spend money though.
[40:31] Yeah, but they optimized that money was very much well worth
[40:34] it because of the players they got.
[40:35] Your Chelsea has spent $2 billion, and yet we're still
[40:37] trying to see the upside on them.
[40:39] Well bro, PSG signed Kulumani for 100 mil.
[40:43] I understand. I'll call it.
[40:44] For 100 mil but Joel Nevez, that's. 200 mil of Missus bro.
[40:47] Chelsea. Chelsea About a billion dollars.
[40:50] Inter whipped on $200 million. We'd be bankrupt.
[40:54] Could be bankrupt, but we you've walked on 2. 100 like This is
[40:56] why. Like, but this is in Chelsea.
[40:58] Billion. Like from a casual POV you're
[41:00] going to say, oh, PSG are the best running club in the world,
[41:03] Man City are the best running club in the world, Chelsea are
[41:07] the best running club in the. World on a free like that,
[41:09] that's a good, that's a fantastic.
[41:11] Sign that gets completely wiped out when you realize every other
[41:13] position costs them over 50 million.
[41:15] But I mean, you think about it that that's usually.
[41:18] But The thing is that now these days.
[41:20] So The thing is that now these days that's you're gonna happen.
[41:22] It's. It's good to say it in hindsight
[41:24] now that they won the Champions. You can do that through
[41:26] spending, but if they did it through development.
[41:28] Yeah, that's true. Like seems like.
[41:30] Liverpool, Liverpool have a way better team than the spending
[41:33] that they they actually do like. Like yes, it's still obviously
[41:37] it it helps when you you basically hit three home runs
[41:41] like almost 10 years ago. Now it's Salah, Van Dyke and
[41:43] Allison, but well, Trent and Trent from your but that's good
[41:47] scouting helps. That's good scouting.
[41:48] I agree. Did you see how they got Salah
[41:50] and stuff? Yeah, the the scouting that went
[41:51] behind. Bro McAllister for 35 mil,
[41:53] Gravenberg for 30 mil. When?
[41:55] When Gravenberg joined Liverpool, there was a major
[41:58] question over and Van Dyke was 70 mil or 70 mil, yeah.
[42:01] It was expensive. That was 1070.
[42:04] Mil you could argue he was worth.
[42:06] Honestly Van Dyke was probably worth 150 mil in his prime.
[42:09] In his prime, but coming from. Coming from a S from.
[42:13] From Southampton. Southampton, it was, it was,
[42:16] yeah, but it was there was negative connotations to it.
[42:18] You're looking at the price tag. You're like this guy's 26, He's
[42:20] joining Liverpool now. How how is he?
[42:22] How is this going to develop the team?
[42:24] Even the Sal, I remember the salad transfer into Liverpool,
[42:28] that's kind of skeptical. Yeah, they're well run.
[42:30] They know what they're. Doing sanely well.
[42:31] Run. They see they they, bro.
[42:34] Robertson was 8 mil. Yeah, 7 mil.
[42:36] They've got the results, they got their Premier League.
[42:38] Left backs of all time now, like, like that's a genuinely
[42:41] incredibly run club, but Robertson's not one of the best
[42:44] left backs of all time in the Prem.
[42:45] Oh, in the Prem. Yeah, that's what I said.
[42:47] But like, you can see a guy like it takes elite scouting because
[42:51] like Chelsea, let's say Fufana when he was at Leicester was
[42:54] very, very good. I'd say like most people thought
[42:57] he was going to be a good center back.
[42:58] And when they bought him for 80 mil, it's like, well we have to
[42:59] spend a lot but we just secured like one of the Prem's best
[43:02] young center backs, motherfucker.
[43:03] Flop that one. That one's a missed.
[43:05] But some of the question marks were already there because he
[43:06] got a major injury right before he joined Chelsea, like his last
[43:10] season at Leicester. I'm sure he I think he missed
[43:11] like 70% of the season. How much was Badya show?
[43:14] Badya show was another 35 mil I think and he's a flop.
[43:18] Yeah. I don't think I've watched him
[43:20] play in. I think he's good, but I've
[43:22] watched him play. These Aussies ass, these Aussies
[43:24] straight cheeks. Yeah, I don't like him.
[43:26] Tosin, Tosin, Tosin was free, but that was a like you see
[43:30] Tosin for free, like it's a, it's a good signing that's good.
[43:33] But I wanted him from Man United.
[43:35] Like it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you Tosin for
[43:38] free is a good deal. He's a primp for the cutter
[43:39] back. Yeah, yeah, but it's a helps a
[43:42] lot when he wanted to stay in London and shit.
[43:44] So it helps obviously so. United small club?
[43:46] Yeah, exactly. But obviously when the results
[43:48] come, you look at PSG, you look at you could say now Chelsea has
[43:51] the results, Liverpool has the results.
[43:53] But these are, it bothers me when people are gonna like now,
[43:56] just because they're gonna say PSG is the best run club in the
[43:59] world and Man City is the best run club, No.
[44:01] But the script is gonna change if the results come the.
[44:03] Best run clubs in the world are the Liverpools.
[44:05] I'd argue Newcastle personally. I think Newcastle's really.
[44:09] On the part of the same problem of spending money.
[44:10] No bro, they haven't spent a lot of money like ESAC.
[44:14] ESAC. Finale 70 million.
[44:15] OK, sure, But then there's players like Jacob Murphy that.
[44:18] We're very already there. But I OK I.
[44:21] They're already. There, but it's maximizing what
[44:23] you already have there. Livermento was cheap and that's
[44:26] an amazing signing. Lewis Hall from Chelsea.
[44:29] Cheap, amazing sign. That's an opportunity signing
[44:31] because that's a that's, that's obviously a Chelsea player that
[44:33] will not be getting first team play.
[44:35] Pope when they got relegated from Burnley.
[44:37] Amazing signing like like these all are amazing.
[44:40] Signs they're good Sign they're. Very enters.
[44:44] We'll see what she will incredibly run.
[44:46] So like you, you guys are arguably the best run club in
[44:50] the world. Sure, like.
[44:52] There's question mark now. I just can't put an Italian club
[44:55] as best run. Bro they just made him final
[44:57] while spending basically zero that's incredible.
[44:59] It it's good, Barcelona, it's good, but then you look at the
[45:03] the logistics behind it, there was the debt, there was all the
[45:06] other factors that like that stuff that, but everything.
[45:08] Wanted to consider school spending that.
[45:10] They did team as debt in Italy especially.
[45:13] You may have debt like, yeah, I'm not sold our debt against us
[45:16] once. The last big expenditure, I'm
[45:18] just saying that's the Inter I've had.
[45:20] When's the last big money spending that they've done?
[45:22] Probably this year. Fuck.
[45:24] Well, yeah, this year is probably the most, but what?
[45:26] What's this year? A lot.
[45:27] It's fucking 50. Mil it's not, but the most.
[45:29] But is that about like clubs in Italy being broke or or well run
[45:33] they're. Spending 50 mil and getting the
[45:36] same better results in Chelsea who spent 2 billion.
[45:39] You could put it like that but then you look at the financials
[45:41] behind it. Chelsea is making way more money
[45:43] than Inter is. Forget the financials we're
[45:46] you're advocating. Bill and 60 million you're.
[45:48] Advocating for results. We.
[45:50] Are part. Yeah, and and inter results.
[45:52] Speak it's a good like there's a famous quote someone goes home
[45:55] today and says account yay we just added 70 mil to the
[45:59] accounting balance sheet. Let's go let's celebrate.
[46:03] No bro, we're fans of fucking football clubs.
[46:05] You want to see our yeah play finals and fucking win trophies?
[46:08] I don't care. Inter was the best project money
[46:10] of the last of the last. In Italy.
[46:12] Of the last five years, Inter was the best project in what in
[46:16] the world based on spending from an account if an accountant were
[46:18] to analyze every single every single big.
[46:20] Club in the world. Not the best accounting project.
[46:22] Like you're not gonna get good dividends.
[46:24] Yeah, no, returns. No, even on account there's no
[46:26] returns. It was all.
[46:27] Paid I nobody payment you what they express value the spending
[46:30] value. Yes, best value for money is
[46:32] inter without a shadow best. Run.
[46:34] Probably not. No, definitely not.
[46:35] Imagine trying to lower your debt because you have to
[46:38] players, but yet at the same time you're maintaining the
[46:40] level of compete. Yes, we were still competitive
[46:43] over the time that we have to sell some of our top players.
[46:46] For me, for me, that's a good management based on the
[46:49] circumstances. Like Milan have cut back their
[46:51] spending the last couple of years, but your performances
[46:53] have followed the cut back spending them.
[46:55] They cut back their spending, but low key their performances
[46:58] got even better. I wouldn't say you cut back your
[47:01] spending. You're still the highest
[47:02] salaries in in Italy. But we replaced Tukaku that we
[47:05] sold for 120 million for Jeko and Tehran.
[47:09] Yeah, but then you increase your salaries.
[47:11] You're the top. You're giving out the biggest
[47:13] salaries in Italy, Obviously you're at the top.
[47:15] Yeah, but you're getting the best players.
[47:17] Yeah. But if you if you, I'm sure if
[47:19] you add the transfer fees included in the wages, they
[47:22] wouldn't be top. And they're getting values,
[47:25] they're getting value deals. But I just can't.
[47:28] That's good. Business.
[47:29] I can't get, I can't put intro over Liverpool.
[47:32] I cannot. No.
[47:33] Well, obviously Liverpool in the Premier League, you.
[47:35] Had a. Financial advantage.
[47:37] You had a financial advantage when you're in the Premier
[47:39] League. That's that's not a debate.
[47:41] And for them and for them to be considered well run yeah, you,
[47:43] you, you jump from clop to slot to slot and you end up winning
[47:49] the Premier League. That's good management like.
[47:51] Brighton are another one that's right.
[47:53] Amazing. Yeah, well, we'll talk about
[47:56] brain. They are all factors considered
[47:58] and realistically then they inter solidify themselves as one
[48:01] of the top European clubs for the last four or five seasons.
[48:04] Despite not having. Despite not yeah exactly like
[48:06] they they did that they did that whether.
[48:08] It's been the level of a Prem relegation.
[48:10] And and it's not like they're left in the in the mud.
[48:12] Like I feel like sometimes team sacrifice their future for like
[48:15] winning right now Inter I think. I think.
[48:18] Realistically, they could. They're not like they're not
[48:20] gone and out for the next forever.
[48:21] Like, like Athletico Madrid spent probably a lot more than
[48:24] Inter and got nowhere near the result.
[48:26] Yeah, and they're a decently run team.
[48:29] It's not like they're bad. Actually a greatly ran team
[48:31] considering they don't win trophies.
[48:33] But the revenues are probably higher.
[48:35] For Athletico, I'd say they're similar to Inter.
[48:37] Similar. They have a.
[48:38] Better they have a better TV deal.
[48:40] Lovely guys an insane. Deal Inter probably extract more
[48:42] value from their brand and stuff, yeah.
[48:46] I. I think Chelsea didn't like you.
[48:48] I think there needs to be higher, harsher criticism, yeah,
[48:52] for spending that level of money.
[48:54] But but now the criticism, now that now there's expectations.
[48:56] There should be expectations. But the expectations?
[48:58] Were there like finishing like this year?
[49:01] All year we were saying all these guys spent 2 billion, they
[49:03] spent 2 billion. At the end of the year, we will
[49:05] look back at the. Year, we've said it, what has?
[49:07] Changed 2-3 years and they they've they've spent. 7
[49:09] expectations are there. It's taken three years.
[49:11] They're not finding. 4th 4th in round the 16 Champions League is
[49:14] not an acceptable result. 4th and round the 16 Champions
[49:17] League, no. OK, so let's outline that before
[49:19] the season. It's like Arsenal, that's
[49:21] unacceptable thing people are actually.
[49:24] Arsenal Arsenal spending I agree a lot of.
[49:26] Percent, I don't think they're that well run.
[49:28] They're they're decently run, but like I don't think that it's
[49:31] comparable to a Liverpool or. AI don't think so either because
[49:34] the results aren't there. Yeah.
[49:35] So ultimately. Spending a lot.
[49:37] Arsenal spends almost almost every summer except for that 600
[49:40] million year. And no, they're second to
[49:42] Chelsea every year. No.
[49:45] Yes. I think, I think that that UEFA
[49:47] rules going to end up changing a bit.
[49:50] I'm not sure. How loopholes?
[49:51] We'll see. Another thing that Barbara's
[49:54] going to explain, Gibbs White, the whole transfer saga, there
[49:56] was there were some lawsuits being thrown.
[49:58] Around so I don't know about lawsuit there.
[50:01] There might be a lawsuit. I don't know about the lawsuit,
[50:03] but there is definitely an appeal lodged.
[50:05] So now it's going to take, it's going to delay the transfer
[50:08] like. Explain.
[50:08] Explain the situation. So basically it comes out this
[50:12] all happened in like the same day.
[50:14] So it comes out Gibbs White has a 60 mil release clause.
[50:17] That's already information no one fucking knew.
[50:20] What the fuck do you mean? Gibbs White has a 60 mil release
[50:22] clause. Couple hours later Tottenham are
[50:24] activating the release clause of Gibbs White for £60 million.
[50:28] So at that point you're like, OK, he does all his medical,
[50:31] signs his contract, he's a Tottenham Hotspur player.
[50:35] Here we go for Ritzer Romano. And then not all not enforce are
[50:38] like but what the fuck is this? How did that like how?
[50:41] How did this happen? Why?
[50:42] How did? This happen all in a day bro.
[50:44] Bro slept in, woke up the presidents like well we just
[50:46] lost, we lost, you lost. This is supposed to be a
[50:48] confidential release clause that no one supposed to know about.
[50:51] But why would you put it in? Because listen, I'm going to
[50:54] explain that after. But wait, there's more.
[50:55] There is there is more because it actually it kind of makes
[50:57] sense from both the POV's. But Tottenham Nottingham force
[51:01] lodged an appeal that there was some wrongdoing in this
[51:04] transfer. And I don't know if you guys
[51:05] remember before last year, the year before that, Chelsea were
[51:09] interested in Michael Alize also, but Crystal Palace
[51:13] threatened to lodge an appeal with the transfer board for
[51:16] similar reasons, because they said, Chuck, you shouldn't be
[51:19] sniffing around Michael Alize. Like if you lot, if you place a
[51:23] bid, we're going to lodge an appeal and supposedly lodging an
[51:25] appeal. It's like a mess.
[51:26] Like you don't want this to happen.
[51:28] So yeah, they're going to figure that all out.
[51:31] And and I'm sure I'm appeal court or something like that.
[51:34] But basically they're saying that I don't know if it was an
[51:38] NDA that was signed or something like that with Michael, with
[51:41] Gibbs White, where the 60 mil release clause was not supposed
[51:43] to be known by anyone. Like no one outside of not even
[51:46] forcing Gibbs White supposed to know that the 60 mil release
[51:48] clause exists. Why they put this in the
[51:51] contract? This is just me speculating.
[51:54] I personally believe that it makes sense from Nottingham
[51:56] Forest POV. If a team comes up to Nottingham
[51:59] Forest and is like, you know, I think we want to we want to buy
[52:04] Morgan Gibbs White. How much how much do you think
[52:07] you're going to it's going to cost?
[52:10] It's going to cost you 80 mil. So then the team's going to be
[52:13] like, oh OK, I'll bid 70 mil. That's above his release clause
[52:17] that you didn't know even existed.
[52:18] So they'll accept right away. They won't like it won't stop
[52:21] Gibbs wife from getting his transfer, but it also allows the
[52:23] team to maximize how much they can actually.
[52:25] I see it from a different angle. I see it like in the Yokutish
[52:28] sense. You the player, when he signs
[52:31] his contract, his agent says let's put a secret 60 million
[52:34] release clause and if anything were to go wrong then my player
[52:39] can now is now allowed to, is this protected and he can now
[52:41] tell other clubs. But then you're breaking the
[52:43] law. No, but maybe there's something
[52:44] within the contract that states. You can only tell other clubs
[52:47] about this. Well, Nottingham Forest didn't
[52:49] think so. So they didn't think there was
[52:51] this clause in there. Listen, it could have been for
[52:53] protecting the player or for protecting the I think it's
[52:55] protecting. It protects both because let's
[52:58] protect the club because the club, if he's under contract,
[53:00] can't let him go. Yes, unless the other club
[53:02] buying doesn't know that that 60 mil release clause is there.
[53:04] So they might end up paying more than 60 mil without even real
[53:07] life. Why put it there?
[53:08] Because Gibbs White says I won't join you unless you put a 60 mil
[53:11] release clause in there. I want to be, if I have the
[53:14] opportunity to go to a Tottenham, Arsenal, yeah,
[53:17] Liverpool and Man United or something like that.
[53:19] I want that opportunity there and I don't want the you guys
[53:22] saying give me 100 mil for that. Yes, but that's what I'm, that's
[53:25] what I said. But you said you can't.
[53:26] But but now that NDA but now if if let's say 9 in four someone
[53:31] Spurs went up to 9 force. I want to buy Gibbs White.
[53:34] They don't have to say there's a 60 mil release clause and then
[53:37] they can say I want 90 mil. So then if they bid 70 mil for
[53:40] Gibbs White, they end up getting more money than they actually
[53:42] could have gotten if they just said the release?
[53:44] So you think like this is pointing like do you think there
[53:47] was like a rat that? Told yeah, Gibbs White told
[53:49] Spurs that they're 60 mil. Or he told Fabricio Romano
[53:52] there's a 60 mil release clause. Spurs like holy fox, 60 mil.
[53:54] Here you go. Because Daniel Living, Spurs
[53:58] chairman, never pays release clauses in full.
[54:00] Because 60 mil down, that's 60 mil in full.
[54:03] One payment. On the balance sheet.
[54:04] And that's that's like a nightmare for football clubs
[54:07] having 60 mil gone in one payment.
[54:10] So. And he never pays release
[54:12] clauses ever. Like this is supposedly Spurs
[54:14] fans were freaking out. They're like, what the fuck is
[54:16] happening right now? Because he never pays release
[54:18] clauses. They always try and negotiate
[54:20] it. They'll pay you more over a
[54:22] longer time so I don't have to pay as much cash up front.
[54:24] Yeah, like what Galtasaray are doing for Aussie men.
[54:26] Yeah, the 75 mil release clause. No, for five years.
[54:29] I'll do it. I'll pay you over five years
[54:30] with bank guarantees. So certified check.
[54:34] It's, it's, it's interesting. I think this begs the question,
[54:38] how many footballers actually have these hidden release
[54:39] clauses in their contracts? Modern football, yeah.
[54:41] Contracts are a little complicated now, I guess.
[54:43] Bro I, I if it came out like there's not really any if if it
[54:48] came out bro I'm at gone for 50. If I woke up and I'm at gone for
[54:52] 45,000,000 I would I don't even know what the fuck I'd do.
[54:56] I would have to stop supporting the club.
[54:57] No, but that only that only. Happens that stuff.
[54:59] Emergency. Pod that only happens at
[55:01] stepping stone clubs so I wouldn't be surprised if like
[55:03] layout has a built in 15 mil release pause.
[55:05] Oh my bad bro. Holy Grinch, you.
[55:09] Got a fringe bait? Limits test there.
[55:12] But it wouldn't surprise me if let's say like now a Joshari
[55:16] were to join me on with like an 80 mil hidden release clause or
[55:18] something like that. No, she would never get you.
[55:20] Can't move for 80 mil that's crazy.
[55:22] Why you're saying Joshari? Or a 70 mil.
[55:24] Like it wouldn't surprise me if they were like reindeers if he
[55:27] had a 70 mil release or let's say contractor.
[55:30] No, that was just. Bad.
[55:30] Let's say Layout were to resign right now on a new contract.
[55:33] It wouldn't surprise me if there was like a hidden 90 mil release
[55:35] clause. They don't.
[55:36] Really do these things. It comes out in public layout,
[55:38] doesn't have a release clause, so that it they benefit from NPR
[55:41] from it. I can hide things legally.
[55:44] Anyways, here here's Alberta Costa for 20 million.
[55:46] We just bought them, but you could have them.
[55:49] Too easy on the seed. You got to water it.
[55:51] It got a special. They got a grow.
[55:53] The rage of a fifth minute hair tug.
[55:56] Yeah, classic. Anyway.
[55:58] But but what's crazy actually is that Gibbs weight is the captain
[56:00] of Nottingham Forest and that. He said there's no I'd rather
[56:04] play for than Nottingham. Forest, I found that these
[56:06] brothers. Are lying straight to your face.
[56:08] Yeah, these players are no loyal.
[56:10] Don't. Trust at all players bro.
[56:11] He's Jose and loyal. They're literally Jose and
[56:14] loyal, that's what they are. Tonali, perfect example was
[56:17] crying. Didn't want to be there.
[56:19] He didn't want to be there. I'd rather go to fucking
[56:22] Newcastle upon time. I don't blame him bro, he's
[56:25] earning 4 times or what he fucking earned at Milan.
[56:29] Always I want to be at Milan until.
[56:31] He's earning a bank like I wouldn't blame him he hates.
[56:33] Money. Too, you move for more money.
[56:36] And Zagi is Inter Milan until I die, until it's time to get paid
[56:41] more. Hakimi here to stay.
[56:43] Takeda, Takeda, Takeda, but gone.
[56:46] Gone next year? And then I'll put my hands up if
[56:48] I ever score against you in the See How final we win 5. 9 That's
[56:50] a club icon on my books. Club icon.
[56:54] But yeah, we do have a couple more other transfers to go
[56:56] through. I mean we spoke about this also
[56:58] last week, but Jokidesh to Arsenal, it's looking like a 70
[57:01] mil plus 10 mil and and like it's it's at the here we go
[57:05] point. Yeah, gotta here we go soon by.
[57:07] Here we go soon as. Now, now we have our bet.
[57:10] The blind was set at 18 goals. So yeah, no, it wasn't I.
[57:14] Thought it was 17. Oh my.
[57:16] God, I need to go back. I need to go back.
[57:18] In this I. Just listened.
[57:19] I listened to it last night. The agenda switched.
[57:22] OK, so on 1818 the line is 18. The average was 17. 18 is a
[57:26] push. No, it was 17.
[57:29] I thought 7. Is gonna make a sign on the on
[57:32] what we had said. No, no, I gotta stick to.
[57:34] Whatever it is, I don't even look what the line is.
[57:36] I'm that's free money basically. Let's see if I wrote it down.
[57:40] I'm sure you wrote it down. These comps are the I once
[57:43] again, I have to go back to check if I really saw what I
[57:46] saw, you know, like I had to, I had to you take a couple.
[57:50] Hours you you process. The information.
[57:52] You let it simmer. You let it simmer, OK, you you
[57:55] leave it there. You walk away for a couple
[57:57] hours, but then you go back just to just to come rounded with a
[58:01] fresh. Mind with a new perspective.
[58:03] This brother's still us. I don't care how many comps I
[58:06] watch, every single minute I watch this guy, he's purely
[58:10] shooting technique and that league is dog shit.
[58:13] Dog shit every time he's played well.
[58:15] Benfica's a bit different, but his goal scoring record against
[58:17] Porto and Benfica are nowhere near as good against the rest as
[58:20] the rest of the league. I'm.
[58:23] I'm not. Judging a player just so scoring
[58:25] big, big competition. And he's never played in the
[58:27] possession system in his life. Failed at Brighton before in the
[58:31] Prem. By the way, I really have
[58:33] serious question marks about this transfer.
[58:36] But look, I I'm not going to lie, I think this is the
[58:40] transfer that finally gets Arteta sacked.
[58:43] This one. Because you're.
[58:44] A tweet regurgitator bro. But I'm not telling you this
[58:48] before. Yeah, you read it.
[58:49] You read it yesterday. I really, I, I didn't see any
[58:52] tweets either about this. I really think this is the this
[58:54] is the going to be the one that it's going to be like a Vlavich
[58:57] Ayuve. He's going to get goals, yes,
[58:59] but it makes the team worse. Yeah, but what are you competing
[59:03] with right now? Right now Arsenal are a good
[59:06] team, they're just not no a striker wise.
[59:07] They don't have that that like next level.
[59:10] Yeah, we've talked about Arsenal needing a striker.
[59:13] They just got a striker. They.
[59:14] Need a striker for certain games?
[59:17] Arsenal are still an elite team right now.
[59:19] They don't need a striker every single game.
[59:21] Victor Gilchrist. What I mean?
[59:22] They don't need a striker for every single game.
[59:24] The haverts and Marino thing worked for a lot of games.
[59:27] It's just you get to the top level fucking games against like
[59:29] Real Madrid and and whatever they got.
[59:31] You need a striker because you need someone to finish Marino.
[59:33] And haver but exhauster. Marina is a midfielder.
[59:36] Man, but again, when Gilchrage, when you have 11 defenders in
[59:39] the box and you're playing against Burnley this season,
[59:41] well Burnley, they'll probably dominate.
[59:42] But when you're playing a Crystal Palace who play a really
[59:45] compact team, a jokesh won't help you as much as a as a.
[59:50] Haverts. Well, we That's why we still
[59:51] have haverts in Marino. But.
[59:53] Jokesh is not joining to sit on the bench.
[59:54] OK, but not you're. It's like Blaviche, he's not
[59:57] joining to sit on the bench, bro, for five.
[59:59] He's not gonna play 60% in the minutes.
[1:00:00] That's the guy who plays 80 to 85%.
[1:00:02] That thinks that Haverts will be a better tactical fit.
[1:00:04] I I don't, I don't think he'll play Yokaris because Yokaris
[1:00:07] didn't join us on the bench. OK, so then you're you're
[1:00:10] signing someone who will inherently get mad and he's not
[1:00:12] playing every single. Game, yeah, but look at
[1:00:13] Caliphieri. Caliphieri joined and he's on
[1:00:15] the bench now. Because Miles was Kelly ahead of
[1:00:17] him, it was also in and Caliphieri is not joining with
[1:00:20] the idea that he's undroppable. But he's not joining to.
[1:00:23] Think that Miles? Lewis Kelly is going to start
[1:00:25] over him. Calipheri didn't just score 50
[1:00:27] fucking five goals. What?
[1:00:30] But Calipari didn't score 55 goals before he joined.
[1:00:32] Doesn't matter. He didn't have the equivalency.
[1:00:34] He's not 2nd and Golden Boot in Europe.
[1:00:36] Jokidos is not joining with that mentality.
[1:00:37] Bro I. Don't know you think thing.
[1:00:39] You see it. You see it right now, he's
[1:00:40] causing problems. You actually just because they
[1:00:42] you. Actually believe that.
[1:00:44] Let's just say Victor Jokidos gets 50% of all available.
[1:00:47] First of all, if you spend 80 million on a striker and he
[1:00:49] plays 50% of the minutes, you're a fucking horrible transfer.
[1:00:53] If you're spending 80 million, you better start.
[1:00:56] IF80 mil you better be playing 80% of the yeah. 100% I'm just
[1:01:01] saying to me all I'm saying. You're starting to pull a
[1:01:03] fucking vinyl. You use that logic for Chelsea
[1:01:05] with Vinyl Dickens. They did that 80 million flop
[1:01:08] gimmick like fucking four times and you don't see people saying.
[1:01:11] I don't think everyone scored 55 goals last year bro.
[1:01:14] You're not coming in with an ego 27 year.
[1:01:16] Jokesh is not Holland. Jokesh didn't he?
[1:01:19] He wasn't constantly on an upward trajectory.
[1:01:21] He's been humbled in his career. He spent half of his career
[1:01:24] being a fucking failure. He is not joining to be a
[1:01:27] rotational player bro. He literally.
[1:01:29] Took his money. He's on the same pedestal as
[1:01:31] Saka Rice right now. He's.
[1:01:33] Working for Arsenal Twerking. Bro he dropped money off of his
[1:01:36] house or just promised him the starting striker job.
[1:01:40] Yeah, I would say something. Brother, we still have haverts
[1:01:42] Marino and Gilchonesh. If a tactical fit says Harvard
[1:01:45] starts, Harvard starts, bro Bradley Barcola is wasn't that
[1:01:48] PSG to sit on the bench while now Desiree Doe sometimes a
[1:01:51] better badly. Garcola did not score fucking 55
[1:01:53] goals before he joined. Well, he was some fucking Leo.
[1:01:56] Little rap on sitting playing. Marcola was a generation.
[1:02:00] You've heard me 4. Bradley Barcola was an unreal
[1:02:03] the beginning of the season and now he got completely because
[1:02:06] the. Player in front of him is
[1:02:07] Cavada, not fucking Mika Marino. No, it's not.
[1:02:09] It was. It was the right wing.
[1:02:10] It was the way. Oh so it's only a generational
[1:02:14] wonder kid that was in front of him brother.
[1:02:16] And that's why Barcola is linked to a transfer.
[1:02:19] Bro what? What does what does the future
[1:02:22] have to do with the present? They presently kicked Barcola
[1:02:26] onto the sidelines and put Duay in after.
[1:02:28] You do not have Duay Bradley Barcola is finally sitting on
[1:02:33] the bench for Desiree Duay. He's not fine sitting on the
[1:02:35] bench for Let's say you had fucking Garnacho there.
[1:02:38] He's not fine sitting you're. Missing the point, I'm saying
[1:02:40] I'm not saying 50% of the games haverts will be a better fit.
[1:02:44] Maybe versus that Crystal Palace compact D block, maybe haverts
[1:02:48] will be a better fit in that case, which I still don't agree
[1:02:49] with. Arsenal are tactically set up to
[1:02:51] win 80% of games. And also I.
[1:02:53] Only needed a striker for the 20% of you.
[1:02:55] Read you read these tacticals on Twitter telling you I mean, it's
[1:02:59] sporting. He's always ever been this way.
[1:03:01] He's never been back to the Play Ty linkup it takes. 2 seconds to
[1:03:05] watch his first touch. When the bulk ends up here, it
[1:03:08] goes fucking to the Jupiter. It doesn't take a rocket
[1:03:12] scientist Jupiter. Jupiter.
[1:03:15] It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see a first touch
[1:03:18] is. Apparently a fucking does 'cause
[1:03:19] it's ending up in Jupiter the only.
[1:03:20] World class player we've ever seen at striker with what we've
[1:03:24] ever seen in our in our is Lukaku with a terrible first
[1:03:27] touch. He has nowhere near the
[1:03:29] physicality of Lukaku. I I think you completely
[1:03:33] underrate. He's quite touching the ball.
[1:03:35] He's. Nowhere.
[1:03:36] Oh my God, you are. He's quite.
[1:03:37] Physical Kaku. No, no, stop what emerges.
[1:03:41] Closer to Lukaku now then he forget.
[1:03:43] Lukaku. Lukaku is a different beast.
[1:03:45] It's Dukakis is physical. He's just first.
[1:03:47] Clutch is horrible. Forget his first touch.
[1:03:50] He's physical, is he not? Is he a big boy?
[1:03:53] I don't think. I think I.
[1:03:55] Think, I think, I think if you put a Ruben Diaz against him,
[1:03:57] he's getting destroyed. Wow bro I find he's quite.
[1:04:02] You put a Van Dyke in an aerial duel against him.
[1:04:04] He's getting fucking thrown one of.
[1:04:05] The best defenders ever? That's the level of the Prem
[1:04:08] though. That's one defender.
[1:04:09] One. Guy that's the level of the
[1:04:10] Prem. I'm just saying Will throws him
[1:04:13] to the side. Whether he starts or not, he
[1:04:15] will be starting for sure. This is a striker that Arsenal
[1:04:17] needed and they invested big. Arteta's job now is to recreate
[1:04:21] the goals that he's been scored. I think a player like like it
[1:04:24] would have been as expensive but the squad fit would have been
[1:04:28] better. A Sheshko.
[1:04:29] I knew you're going to say that shit.
[1:04:30] No it wouldn't. Have because a squad fit he
[1:04:32] would have accepted playing, let's say, only 50% of the games
[1:04:35] that he's actually really needed.
[1:04:36] Sheshko's way less Sheshko would have been the.
[1:04:38] And he's way more technically there and you could develop that
[1:04:41] physical frame. But Sheshko is and he's he has
[1:04:45] resale value at the end of his he.
[1:04:46] Doesn't have that. He doesn't have that like that
[1:04:48] tooth. He doesn't have that like bite
[1:04:50] that that that. 32 it won't have resale value.
[1:04:54] I don't know. You can't.
[1:04:55] You can't determine. Arsenal needed Arsenal needed a
[1:04:57] guy that could score goals that like just had eyes for the net.
[1:05:00] Sheshko. Sheshko was more about the
[1:05:02] frills like he was about the the other parts of the play.
[1:05:05] I I'm telling you. Sheshko Giokidesh.
[1:05:07] Like it's the same thing, yeah. It's just they needed a striker
[1:05:11] and they invested in one. But you have to understand that
[1:05:13] you don't need that striker for every game.
[1:05:16] Why not? Right now, Arsenal, so right now
[1:05:19] Arsenal are a good team, they're a very good team.
[1:05:22] Look at the watch alongs, we've been saying if they had a
[1:05:24] striker there they would have finished that if they if this
[1:05:27] guy was there's. A bit of defensive solidity by
[1:05:29] pointing jokers up top instead of Harvard.
[1:05:31] Harvard is one of the best defensive fucking strikers.
[1:05:33] Jokersh has a work rate. You're actually jokers.
[1:05:36] You have the fucking, you have the tackling of a center mid up
[1:05:39] top because he's a, because he's not fucking striker.
[1:05:42] But exactly 80% of games that fits well with Arsenal because.
[1:05:46] Arteta made it that way because he had two center mids at
[1:05:48] striker so he decided to play the system that you're acting
[1:05:50] like. Arteta is not allowed to change
[1:05:52] tactics over the summer. It's part Fermaine.
[1:05:54] OK, it's not. I hope he.
[1:05:55] Changes. He's allowed to change tactics.
[1:05:56] His job will be to unlock Jokadesh if you could unlock.
[1:05:59] Him. I'm sorry, I can't believe it.
[1:06:03] Either he scores a lot of goals and Arsenal gets worse, or he
[1:06:06] scores no goals. Arsenal stay at the same level.
[1:06:09] It'll be the it'll either way. I win, I you.
[1:06:11] Genuinely think this would be a win situation.
[1:06:13] No, like where where he's not scoring much.
[1:06:16] No. Well, Hoyland has a bad touch.
[1:06:18] He'll score 10 to 15, but the team will be worse with that 10
[1:06:22] to 15. We'll see.
[1:06:24] We'll see. Hoyland scored four.
[1:06:26] This guy's fucking generationally ass.
[1:06:28] Yeah, I would sell him. I'm not even kidding. 5 mil.
[1:06:31] I would sell him. I would sell him for free just
[1:06:33] to get the so I don't have to fucking see his wrath face on
[1:06:35] social media every day. Nice.
[1:06:37] Makes sense? Next up, what I actually think
[1:06:40] is a shit transfer matter Weki to Arsenal.
[1:06:41] That's actually a shit transfer. That is not a fit.
[1:06:44] There's no reason for that. I disagree.
[1:06:46] I think this is actually the better I.
[1:06:47] Hate this one too. I hate it.
[1:06:49] I I think matter Weki is one of the best ball carriers in the
[1:06:51] league. I think it fits well if Arsenal,
[1:06:53] if Saka gets injured, I think he's he's a good backup to have
[1:06:57] in case. Yeah, yeah, but I think he can
[1:06:59] You have a glaring left wing issue.
[1:07:00] You don't go buy a backup. OK, According to us, yes.
[1:07:04] According to Arteta, though, Gabriel Martinelli, I think he
[1:07:08] thinks is a good player. OK wait, so Madwick is OK with
[1:07:12] being on the bench? Madwick is OK with getting 35%
[1:07:16] of the minutes of the season on left wing and 35% of the minutes
[1:07:18] on the season are right wing. So that's a lot of minutes, yes.
[1:07:22] He was a starter at Chelsea. Theoretically, right now, how I
[1:07:25] view it, what Sacco would be getting 80% of the minutes left
[1:07:28] wing, Madweke and Martinelli are gonna share the minutes and then
[1:07:31] he'll get the extra 20% on the right wing.
[1:07:34] So it's still a starter level minutes.
[1:07:36] Yeah, it's not just you're a backup.
[1:07:38] I just. Find there's a left wing like
[1:07:39] he's had glimpses of being OK, but he's not a left winger, he's
[1:07:43] a right. Winger but it depends on the
[1:07:44] tactical fit. Like this is like he's giving
[1:07:46] the the transfer the Jokharish 1 doesn't make sense.
[1:07:50] Maduweke gives Arteta the ability to have a left a left
[1:07:53] footed left hand touchline winger or the inside forward
[1:07:57] that Martinelli is and and more of like that penetration inside
[1:08:01] Maduweke pause. Maduweke goes on the outside.
[1:08:05] He's one of the best dribblers in the Premier League.
[1:08:07] So I think this is honestly 55 Milford.
[1:08:11] He's not home grown, so it kind of doesn't work in your town,
[1:08:14] but he's English, he knows London, he's not going to have
[1:08:17] an issue like. Just not a fun I'm not a fan
[1:08:19] because even you're you're reinforcing your rivals by
[1:08:21] giving them 55 mil like you. Spent on vinyl gittens, but
[1:08:24] yeah, OK. Whether they spent it on vinyl
[1:08:26] Gittens or not, this is the third time you're buying from
[1:08:28] them, and each one has been garbage.
[1:08:31] Garbage or garbage? Well, Harvard's has been all
[1:08:34] right. Has been, I would argue.
[1:08:35] Sterling has. Been garbage what he's worth.
[1:08:37] Sterling was a loan. To be an emergency winger, it's.
[1:08:41] Georginio's been mid. Georginio was a good signing for
[1:08:44] Arsenal. How much was he?
[1:08:45] 10/5 mil. 12 mil. That was like it was 8 or 12 one
[1:08:48] of. Those whatever but you do
[1:08:49] signing for Arsenal no, they. Were fine now, but like
[1:08:52] Madhuweke, we were talking about this with the other guys, with
[1:08:54] the Chelsea fans. I'm saying Madhuweke, the last
[1:08:56] season was their second best forward.
[1:08:59] Buying Cole Palmer, Yeah. Cole Palmer, Nico Jackson Nico
[1:09:01] Jackson got injured. It's.
[1:09:04] Not matter what came with wingers.
[1:09:05] Nicholas Jackson. Chelsea's wingers have not been
[1:09:07] notoriously good. Like I find matter what he good
[1:09:09] last season first for Chelsea. He's a good, he's all right.
[1:09:11] You're just a bit of goal threat.
[1:09:12] He just scored four against Wolves and then kind of like
[1:09:15] went quiet. But his performances were
[1:09:16] decent. He's inconsistent a bit but he
[1:09:19] he is a good player there. You can tell there's a player
[1:09:21] there and look, we make fun of the Ruby Rose and stuff.
[1:09:23] Situations like he, I feel like he is still a serious
[1:09:27] footballer. It's not it's not a central
[1:09:28] situation. Like you can tell you can tell
[1:09:31] there's still drive there, but I don't know.
[1:09:34] I I think I, I, I'm not I'm not over the moon about it for if I
[1:09:38] were an arsenal fan, I'm not a plus territory, but I'll give it
[1:09:41] like AB or B minus like it's all right.
[1:09:43] It's it's it's not bad. It's just you could have found
[1:09:46] the player probably from that for 35 mil.
[1:09:49] But look. It is April.
[1:09:52] It's a whole other thing. I know, but if you want, if you
[1:09:54] want that ship, ship. Odegard to Saudi and then
[1:09:57] Arsenal gets so much better, so much.
[1:09:59] Better. No, no, it's so risky.
[1:10:01] So it's just in hindsight it's such a bad deal because you're
[1:10:04] looking at like a Cavada that went to PSG for 60. 5 mil but
[1:10:06] you can't compare to the top end.
[1:10:08] Always compare to the middle ground somewhere.
[1:10:10] But who's to say Cavada wanted to go to Arsenal?
[1:10:13] OK, you want. To go to PSG because they gave
[1:10:15] him a bag, a salary bag, that's the reason.
[1:10:16] Why? It's not much of a bag, always a
[1:10:18] fucking bag, but I think. I was making nothing monopoly.
[1:10:21] But I think there were a couple mob in.
[1:10:26] Would it be surprised the Cavada transfer mob ties?
[1:10:29] Yeah, I think actually there were mob ties involved in that
[1:10:31] transfer. But I think, I think there were
[1:10:33] they reported something like that, yeah.
[1:10:34] I heard about that as well. Karate said.
[1:10:36] Yeah. As per usual.
[1:10:40] The same word. Kavada Kavada is the second most
[1:10:43] paid player. How much a week?
[1:10:45] In. PSG 314,000 That's worth it.
[1:10:49] Though yeah, it is. You can't.
[1:10:50] That's that would still be less than than Declan Rice.
[1:10:52] It's kind of wild that he's the second one though.
[1:10:55] That would be less than Declan Rice and Sacca.
[1:10:57] I believe so. That's literally from rags to
[1:10:58] riches. It's crazy.
[1:10:59] Yeah. 16.3 mil and you're saying it's less than?
[1:11:03] Oh, definitely less than Declan Rice.
[1:11:04] That's not in. The rice is what, 18?
[1:11:06] What do you know? I don't know, I don't do on
[1:11:07] yearly salaries. I think it's like 350 KA week I
[1:11:10] think for Declan Rice. No one, no one on Arsenal is
[1:11:15] paid that much. Well Haverts is definitely
[1:11:17] fucking. It's 2. 180,000 lbs.
[1:11:19] Wow, it's like 350,000. So we're very off euros.
[1:11:23] Yeah, that's something. That's a top player EUR.
[1:11:24] This is pounds 280,000 lbs. And how much exactly 3. 115K
[1:11:29] euros. Cavada Cavada was in euros or
[1:11:31] pounds euros. Euros.
[1:11:33] PSG salaries were. So roughly the same.
[1:11:35] It's he's less. Yeah, Haverts is less.
[1:11:38] Haverts is more than no. It's Haverts is 323.
[1:11:42] No, sorry. Haverts is €323,000.
[1:11:46] Yeah, you said Cavada's 314, so that's less.
[1:11:49] Let me check. 314 is less than 322.
[1:11:52] I don't know if Pile FC has gotten the the math.
[1:11:55] He raised me. Cavada's 3/14.
[1:11:57] You set it up. So they're essentially the same.
[1:12:00] They're basically the same but so Palace C3 but Cavada 22 are
[1:12:05] essentially but. Same.
[1:12:06] There we go. But cavada.
[1:12:07] But cavada? I'm getting break dead rage
[1:12:09] rated. Yeah, but Cavada seen this rate.
[1:12:11] The better is the better player in my but.
[1:12:13] Cavada would be Arsenal. Be clear.
[1:12:14] No. No that in Harvards.
[1:12:16] Oh yeah, it would be. It would be tied basically for
[1:12:17] first of the most paid player in Arsenal.
[1:12:19] Yeah, but I think you'd be very happy if Cavada was your highest
[1:12:22] paid player. Well, no like then, Sacco would
[1:12:24] argue. And that well.
[1:12:25] Then yes, then obviously they'll be higher.
[1:12:27] Just based. Off doesn't matter preference.
[1:12:29] Arsenal's winning. But yeah, Arsenal 2 monster
[1:12:33] transfers there, so we're gonna have to see how those go.
[1:12:36] And then this is a mod like a saga.
[1:12:40] Goes on way too much. I'm not exactly sure that was
[1:12:45] that intention. Whoever who wrote that?
[1:12:47] Who wrote that? Millie FC stocks in the mud.
[1:12:50] Millie, was that intentional? Galatas.
[1:12:53] There's 1S in Galatas. No, we had to put the ass in
[1:12:55] there. OK, so Millie put 2SS.
[1:12:57] Turkey's just ransacking City Hour.
[1:12:59] And yeah. Honestly and.
[1:13:01] Insane. Who's funding this shit in
[1:13:03] Turkey? That's what I'm the.
[1:13:04] Government, supposedly, they give, they give.
[1:13:06] Grants. It's it's given grants or
[1:13:09] they're, they're given really favorable taxes, like really
[1:13:12] favorable. OK, so the people of Turkey are
[1:13:15] practically just paying for these transfers?
[1:13:16] OK, yeah, basically. I mean, I wouldn't want.
[1:13:18] To go ask you ask a little, actually.
[1:13:20] Maybe totally fine. Maybe paying 60% tax just to get
[1:13:23] Gallup asteroid? I was like, go fund me if there
[1:13:25] wasn't fucking. Yeah, insane.
[1:13:26] But yeah, I'm not sure what the numbers.
[1:13:28] Are but I-75 mil. But they did make an initial
[1:13:30] offer of like 50 mil or something, something like low
[1:13:33] balling. Well this works in the Turkish
[1:13:36] league but I don't think 75. I don't know.
[1:13:39] I I don't like this whole Aussie man transfer saga bullshit.
[1:13:42] Like I wouldn't want him at any of my clubs.
[1:13:44] The issue is from I don't think that it makes economic sense
[1:13:48] because yes, Aussie man's gonna be in your league and that's a
[1:13:50] big deal, but I don't think that you can't make the money back
[1:13:52] tuning in for Aussie man. You can't make that money back.
[1:13:55] Like you're not bringing people that weren't watching to watch.
[1:13:59] Yeah, I agree. The Super League.
[1:14:01] I didn't. Well, I don't think any of us.
[1:14:03] Bro if it was Ronaldo or Messi. Yeah, they're in Champions
[1:14:07] League, yes. But who knows, maybe Champions
[1:14:09] League. Yeah, maybe they're looking for
[1:14:11] like a resale eventually. If he does good in Champions
[1:14:13] League people look at him. You could solve his e-mail for
[1:14:15] 100 mil. People aren't paying, not after.
[1:14:18] This not now because of the whole transfer saga, but but
[1:14:21] know how good. He is if people aren't paying 70
[1:14:23] right now. Right now everyone knows he's a
[1:14:25] world class player. He's only going to get less
[1:14:27] valuable than Galatasaray. Well, I don't know.
[1:14:30] I feel like he hasn't reached his potentially.
[1:14:32] I'm sorry and Galatasaray finds this may be a tough pill for you
[1:14:35] to swallow. No one's paying 100 mil for
[1:14:36] someone from Turkish league. It's just that's just a that's
[1:14:39] just a fact. Just like how Cavado no one was
[1:14:41] paying fucking 100 mil from someone from Syria.
[1:14:43] No one's paying 100 mil for someone from Turkish league.
[1:14:47] I agree with that. He's not going to gain more
[1:14:48] value. Yeah, after this whole transfer
[1:14:50] side got Plus if he does well in Champions League it won't get
[1:14:53] him to 100. Mil news flash Chelsea well run
[1:14:55] spent 100 mil in Mudrick from the the Ukrainian league, by the
[1:14:58] way. But yeah, I mean, he's going to
[1:15:01] obviously tear that league apart.
[1:15:03] It's not even funny. But I mean, Turkish league
[1:15:06] actually, they're cooking. They're starting to cook.
[1:15:08] I can't cap moving up the rankings very quickly.
[1:15:11] It's pretty crazy. Yeah, it's 75 installments of a.
[1:15:13] Million. I'm actually interested to see
[1:15:14] how they're going to do in CL. I want to see like the bra.
[1:15:17] It's unfortunate that it's just Galatasaray because even.
[1:15:20] Before this investment, before this investment, you would say
[1:15:22] Galatasaray in the league format will probably finish what like
[1:15:25] 2526? No, they finished above you in
[1:15:26] the groups and the Champions League 2 season.
[1:15:30] That was a good. One that's good that was well
[1:15:33] timed too, because it's like it was locked and loaded.
[1:15:36] It was. It was for like at least 30
[1:15:37] seconds. Game respects game, you know, So
[1:15:40] I gotta put my hands up Fares, but I actually want to see where
[1:15:43] they're gonna finish because you it's tough to see what these
[1:15:46] outside the top five leagues like Sporting had an amazing run
[1:15:49] and no one I predicted it, but no one no one had them like that
[1:15:54] Good. You know, so maybe I'll pass
[1:15:55] right. He's gonna be able to get like a
[1:15:57] right outside the top 8 finish, potentially with Ozzy men up
[1:15:59] top. That's what.
[1:16:00] No very high bro. That's that's good.
[1:16:03] He clocked into his last. Team, I mean, you're gonna have
[1:16:04] all the prep teams, you're gonna have all the prep teams at your
[1:16:07] top. You're gonna have probably
[1:16:09] Inter, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern.
[1:16:12] I think right after that they're they could be in and around
[1:16:15] that. Man City level like like.
[1:16:17] Like they're gonna finish. 20, Yeah, obviously there's, there's
[1:16:19] going to be 1 there's G. 23rd they're.
[1:16:21] Going to finish above Napoli. There's going to be there's
[1:16:23] obviously there will obviously be some teams who underperform
[1:16:27] in the SEAL. UVA, bro, what the fuck?
[1:16:30] UVA just got thrown in there. Fuck, that was the worst rage
[1:16:33] bait of all of them. That was a rage bait.
[1:16:34] That was rage. You think Galatas, you're
[1:16:36] finishing fucking 24th and you're going to enjoy that team.
[1:16:38] OK, name me Galatas back. Line on where?
[1:16:40] On where UV finished in the group stage.
[1:16:43] In the in the leap phase. Yeah, everyone say your number
[1:16:45] and. Then lines.
[1:16:46] I would say the lines at. 1818. 18 bro you saying rageway
[1:16:52] numbers hurts me. Go by 15. 1.
[1:16:56] We take out all liars. Out we, out we no. 13 for real
[1:17:02] 13 Where'd you finish this season?
[1:17:04] OK so I turned 17 so lights 13. That's crazy.
[1:17:09] Take the fucking other side of that.
[1:17:12] OK, I'm gonna say. Other side of that I'm.
[1:17:15] Gonna think how many teams are there. 14/15/16 How many?
[1:17:18] I think it's 32. You've been finished 20th this
[1:17:21] season. Go.
[1:17:23] So I'm gonna say 15, no self over.
[1:17:27] I could put the highest prediction just so that the line
[1:17:29] favors them. Average 15.5.
[1:17:32] Because this guy rage baited in 18.
[1:17:34] He doesn't know 15. This guy is the closeted UV fan
[1:17:37] who fucking slurp stars. I said I.
[1:17:39] Said every single fucking UV. Anything that has to do it UVA
[1:17:43] let me pull up the. We got him, said you.
[1:17:45] We got him. It's 15.5.
[1:17:47] It's 15 we. Got him the line.
[1:17:48] One second, one second. I need to find the clip.
[1:17:51] I need to know if Vlavich will be your starting striker.
[1:17:53] My opinion will change based on that.
[1:17:56] Just got a call we're signing. Call Mulani on loan.
[1:17:58] Yeah, and you will enjoy that. OK, it went from 18 to 17.
[1:18:00] We just shine. Jonathan David.
[1:18:03] Fucking went to 1019. I don't know, TSN put out saying
[1:18:06] that it said he had a challenge. Not even a.
[1:18:08] Challenge and that was kind of crazy that like that was very
[1:18:11] good rage bait. Milan is not bigger than you
[1:18:13] there. I'm sorry.
[1:18:14] In all, not bigger than you. And that's this.
[1:18:17] Is an Interfan Interfan shameless?

[1:18:31] but don't have any more trophies than UV, don't have any more
[1:18:33] trophies than Milan. Yeah, but you just say check.
[1:18:36] Just have to say. It I don't give a fuck if you

[1:18:51] objective. Really.
[1:18:52] Are the UV kids peeking about a bench for the.
[1:18:54] Yeah, yeah, is OK talking back. You are now beating the the UV
[1:18:57] cock allegations. I can't believe this is even a
[1:19:01] conversation. Just for Tia and Millie having I
[1:19:02] don't with their eyes right now. I can't believe that.
[1:19:05] You're the one that has the UV cups upstairs.
[1:19:07] No UVA cups in my in my yeah. Bro this guy in this is sure.

[1:19:12] Yeah. Can you wait up here?
[1:19:14] OK, You don't. I do not produce your T confirm.
[1:19:18] Or they're not deny, they're not confirmed you.

[1:19:25] Yes. He said yes.
[1:19:27] Getting rage Vader. Rage Vader.
[1:19:30] OK, the lines out of 15 1/2. Perfect.
[1:19:32] OK, All right, let's see under the.
[1:19:34] Under UVA are actually finished the 20th.
[1:19:37] No, you're finishing lower than 50.
[1:19:38] But you said 13. No, you're finishing lower.
[1:19:40] But you said 13. Oh bro, you got 2 door ball, you
[1:19:43] got some. See the over under Varva only
[1:19:45] works if your prediction was lower than the average.
[1:19:47] It's. Gonna be a fun fun year of hate
[1:19:50] watching It's. Gonna be a lot of enjoy betting
[1:19:52] fun me and Barbara it. Was what the?
[1:19:55] Fuck world, take me to Al Qaeda. Let's talk about the downfall
[1:19:57] of. This needs to be a bigger
[1:19:59] discussion that tired of this. So basically city ah.
[1:20:04] City has just sold the top store, producer teacher side.
[1:20:09] Basically, basically City is getting ransacked for all of its
[1:20:14] talent and basically becoming a feeder league for the Saudi
[1:20:17] league. Yes.
[1:20:18] Now where does this lead for City A?
[1:20:22] Like does it just become start becoming a feeder league?
[1:20:24] We've said it, the downfall is imminent.
[1:20:27] This is the nail in the coffin. The Tegui is the starting
[1:20:30] striker for the national. Peggy is the nail in the coffin.
[1:20:33] That's what I just say. Shit, that's what they should.
[1:20:35] Leave it. What the fuck you mean he's a
[1:20:36] starter for our national team? He just.
[1:20:38] Never have been a. OK, now we have no one.
[1:20:40] Else if interfall off. If interfall off.
[1:20:42] What the fuck are we talking? Italian teams are actually
[1:20:44] competing at the top of the level of the sport UV.
[1:20:47] OK, why? Why do you have to?
[1:20:48] Get the fuck out. Not realistically.
[1:20:51] We. Set the line to fucking 16 bro
[1:20:54] and I gave a 13 that didn't even fucking.
[1:20:56] Crazy work, no? This is all just happening at
[1:20:58] bad times like Neil and downfall happened so fast and so quick.
[1:21:02] So fast coincided with you vase it's that enters.
[1:21:06] But there's no where do you see the light?
[1:21:08] Where do you see the light? Like is there something?
[1:21:11] Is there something to be right deal.
[1:21:13] I was going to be about the light, but is there some TV
[1:21:16] rights deal from a Saudi Prince I don't hear about that's coming
[1:21:19] in? OK, I'm not arguing about
[1:21:21] Seria's statue so. This was never about attack.
[1:21:23] We wasn't. No, it was more about the
[1:21:25] downfall of the league. Bro if that like this is what I
[1:21:28] can't believe. Anyways, I'm.
[1:21:30] So not even to say the attack is that good the.
[1:21:32] Tag is ass. How is he ass?
[1:21:34] He's our top scorer. He's he was our top scorer.
[1:21:37] He's our soldier for the national team.
[1:21:39] Top scorer of today. We just sold him.
[1:21:41] That he's the story for the National we have.
[1:21:43] No one else. This Gray.
[1:21:45] What the fuck do you wanna put someone else?
[1:21:48] Moziki is our backup. Fucking put Moziki.
[1:21:50] He will be there. Don't.
[1:21:51] Let this fucking guy touch an Italian kid ever again.
[1:21:54] He will be. There unless he fucking go to
[1:21:56] Saudi. No, he will not.
[1:21:57] The reason why he went to Saudi is because we're not making the
[1:21:59] World Cup. He's OK, I'm done.
[1:22:00] He's earning 20 million a year back.
[1:22:02] We can't. Be back.
[1:22:03] He will not be putting an Italian national team kid if
[1:22:05] he's going to Saudi Arabia. That is not top football.
[1:22:08] All confirmed. I know top football president
[1:22:10] it's. Done.
[1:22:10] You can't say that our manager just joined from the fucking
[1:22:13] Croatian league. For what?
[1:22:16] That was a good one. Like you can't say it's not.
[1:22:21] You can't make. Your top level football when our
[1:22:23] manager was just in the fucking Croatian.
[1:22:25] Yeah. But that's mismanagement.
[1:22:27] It's Italy, still have 4 stars on their fucking logo.
[1:22:30] OK, no other, only Germany. Have four stars.
[1:22:32] I actually. Have 6:00 and 4:00.
[1:22:36] I'm saying I'm took ups going, Oh no.
[1:22:38] Because I've seen the Brazil 4. Bro yeah they have.
[1:22:41] Italy. Italy is one of the three.
[1:22:42] They have five. Yeah, Italy is one of the three
[1:22:44] nations. OK, That we we should be setting
[1:22:47] ourselves at a higher standard. Exactly why sell our fucking the
[1:22:50] starting striker too? If you actually think that Taggy
[1:22:53] deserves to be a starter for Italy, you are severely
[1:22:56] mistaken. He should be gone.
[1:22:58] So let's let's start Luca, what's the vibes now?
[1:23:00] Start. Start bro.
[1:23:02] Realistically, you. Start.
[1:23:03] You don't. You can say, don't you don't
[1:23:05] fucking say it. Don't say these guys.
[1:23:10] But he's not fucking joking. Go fucking get the youngsters up
[1:23:14] there. Come on.
[1:23:15] Fucking actually. Yeah.
[1:23:17] Let's do get him up there. Yes.
[1:23:18] Liberally. Let's throw them, Leon.
[1:23:21] He's starting too, Yeah. Starting mobily now 'cause he's
[1:23:23] back at Bologna, maybe he'll get it exact The National.
[1:23:25] Team so we're we're fucking discrete where we are selling
[1:23:28] our top scorer and we're fucking adding we.
[1:23:31] We that FYGC is getting the money out of this shit league.
[1:23:36] If the teddy was a serious competitor, he would say I'm
[1:23:39] staying in City, not because it's a World Cup.
[1:23:40] The. Italians were serious teams,
[1:23:42] they were not fucking proud to the Saudi rate they would go to
[1:23:45] the Prem. No other friends who was going
[1:23:47] for the tag team. We are not able to retain our
[1:23:49] talent. Because he's getting offered 20
[1:23:50] million. He is not worth that.
[1:23:53] No one. No team, no player.
[1:23:55] Don't. Have that no player in Syria is
[1:23:58] worth 20 million a year. Well, to you to Syria team.
[1:24:03] Are you fucking kidding? Cavada's at 20 mil at fucking
[1:24:05] PSG. He's worth it.
[1:24:06] Because PSG can afford that. Exactly, so if he was getting
[1:24:09] paid 20 mil before he can't be Arabia. 20 mil can't be
[1:24:12] financially. So then it doesn't matter where
[1:24:14] the. Fuck, he goes.
[1:24:15] Is worth it gonna? Get the beats, yeah.
[1:24:17] What? Why do you?
[1:24:18] Care where the fuck? He goes, Oh no, because
[1:24:20] obviously. Why do you care if he goes if he
[1:24:21] got paid 20 million? PSG why speak?
[1:24:23] Can I speak? Ridiculous.
[1:24:25] If he goes to Saudi, that's not a top level league.
[1:24:27] It's not if he goes to the Prem, that's a top level league.
[1:24:29] You could get called back to the national team.
[1:24:31] Am I? Wrong.
[1:24:31] I'm gonna take you because he agreed to.
[1:24:33] In senior in. Senior went to fucking Canada
[1:24:34] for 10 million. Good for him, he's earning the
[1:24:36] bag. But do I want to see him in the
[1:24:38] national team? Fuck no See Canada.
[1:24:40] Same thing wouldn't attack you. Where's that fucking energy?
[1:24:42] Wouldn't attack. You.
[1:24:43] But he's not coming back to the national team.
[1:24:44] Didn't. Want to fucking euro?
[1:24:45] Senior didn't join Toronto and see.
[1:24:47] They went up, but they did. Also what like he wasn't he
[1:24:50] wasn't the top. Can we stop kidding ourselves?
[1:24:51] We were taking his ass. No, but he's still the top.
[1:24:54] He's not even a top option. He's not even a top fucking 15
[1:24:59] striker in the world. You can I'm.
[1:25:00] Sorry, I'm sorry he's. Bro 15 in the world.
[1:25:03] This year if he was in the Prem, Chris Wood would outscore him
[1:25:06] band for band. Chris would Matenta would
[1:25:08] outscore him. Fucking would outscore him.
[1:25:10] You're not lying bro. He's not a good striker but he
[1:25:13] just worked that. Inject those guys with fucking
[1:25:16] syringes of steroids bro. It's confirmed, but that's the
[1:25:19] best we have. Yes, I don't find better.
[1:25:22] I'd rather. Team I'd rather I.
[1:25:24] Want to bring up simple solutions Do better win go.
[1:25:28] You guys like to do that, so how about we do it in case But no,
[1:25:31] you reject these things, no find better you reject these
[1:25:34] transfers. It's not fun when you reject
[1:25:35] these transfers, Atlanta. Yes, you reject it.
[1:25:37] You try to maintain your your top.
[1:25:39] They're fucking bops bro, whoever pays them the biggest
[1:25:41] bag those league. Exactly.
[1:25:42] Atlanta is a seller club. We have seller clubs in our
[1:25:44] league. Milan is a seller club now
[1:25:46] Hernandez goes for. 25 Milan Go for the taggy, then.
[1:25:49] Because we don't have the fucking money.
[1:25:50] Could. You spend 40 million on human
[1:25:51] heads. OK, not in Italian.
[1:25:53] So. But you got what is your point?
[1:25:55] Because the whole point is that we should bring up Italian
[1:25:58] Thailand, we should go for Italian players.
[1:26:00] And where did you put 40 fucking million into a Mexican player?
[1:26:03] OK. It could have been put to an
[1:26:05] Italian. Which Italian is this?
[1:26:08] Oh really mean like 60 million Moise keen, Moise keen 52 mil,
[1:26:12] you guys got that? Well, you're looking at that.
[1:26:16] Actually you are. You just spent, you just spent
[1:26:19] 35 mil on Jimenez. You're also you're looking to
[1:26:21] spend another. 30 mil. On Bunnyface or whatever 40 mil
[1:26:24] on bunnyface you could have bought just Moise Keene for 52
[1:26:27] mil. OK.
[1:26:28] And you're looking at the worst run club.
[1:26:29] Who? I agree, Mila like me.
[1:26:32] Yeah, I hate that cop. So I can't be critical because
[1:26:33] you're a worst one cop. OK, we've been trying.
[1:26:35] To call you, you guys shit on Milan.
[1:26:36] Well, you'd be. Critical and I've.
[1:26:37] Been cheating on Milan you guys. Been cheating on into the same
[1:26:39] time like it's it's. You're the fucking top dogs and
[1:26:41] said yeah, you're supposed to be the ones fucking winning
[1:26:43] everything. Well, if if the taggy was still
[1:26:45] a general before he went to Atlanta, why didn't Milan go for
[1:26:48] him? Why didn't you?
[1:26:49] Go for it was still a general Yeah, because.
[1:26:52] He actually. All lied financials.
[1:26:54] You Italian teams cannot compete financially and.
[1:26:58] Barbara, we could have never competed with 20 mil in season.
[1:27:01] No, he could have. But ten years ago, you guys were
[1:27:04] competing financially with no but.
[1:27:06] No, we weren't. Barbara Eventis was Barbara.
[1:27:09] No team in the Prem would have given him 20 mil or I.
[1:27:12] Agree but no but we just a team in the Prem would have given 8
[1:27:16] mil. 10 you wouldn't have taken it.
[1:27:18] Where you could have given an 8 mil, we give out eight mils to
[1:27:22] fucking Sancho bro OK. You would not have.
[1:27:24] We would not have. We didn't even give John So
[1:27:26] what? We just sell because like, what
[1:27:28] is it? What is your assumption?
[1:27:29] The the issue is that I can't control what Ritegi says.
[1:27:34] Brother, if you were offered $20 million, are you gonna blame?
[1:27:38] I'm not gonna blame. You, I say yes, I've said it,
[1:27:40] Tonali. It was a good fucking move for
[1:27:42] his career to go to Newcastle. No, but if you went to Al Qadisa
[1:27:44] or ever. Horrible move 'cause he's not
[1:27:46] gonna called up to the National. He was paid for the exact same
[1:27:48] amount. Tony No, Ivan.
[1:27:50] Tony was the IT was a better, a better version of the rotegi in
[1:27:54] the Premier League. He was English, he was in his
[1:27:56] own league. He was about to start.
[1:27:58] Playing for the national team. He was about to get a transfer
[1:27:59] to Arsenal or to another different team.
[1:28:01] Fucked off at the first sight of a bag.
[1:28:03] He did the exact same thing as Rotegi.
[1:28:05] No one batted at the. Time so next man up.
[1:28:06] Next man up. They still have Watkins, they
[1:28:08] still have Harry Kane. They they had they had strikers.
[1:28:11] Well, Ivan, Tony just got called back to the national team even
[1:28:13] too, but yeah. New management under Southgate
[1:28:16] probably never got but he. Did get called back under.
[1:28:18] Two, no, I'm talking about I don't care about the Italian
[1:28:20] national team call up. I'm talking about just the
[1:28:22] player leaving the league, making the league worse and
[1:28:24] going out for a bag. I haven't told you the exact
[1:28:26] same shit. No one, no one said a word.
[1:28:28] They said, oh, go get your money, boy.
[1:28:29] It's next for me up. For me it's more the national
[1:28:31] team. Like it's just a bad look
[1:28:33] selling the starter of the fucking.
[1:28:35] I don't I don't care bro if he if he can come back in bad but
[1:28:39] why are we not calling him up if he can complain?
[1:28:41] He's still better than any other option we got.
[1:28:43] Why not play him? I don't get it.
[1:28:44] Because why not call Verati then at this point?
[1:28:46] But you're you're basically. No, but varati sound compete
[1:28:48] like not. Like, not like this guitar,
[1:28:49] right? Now transfers like, so we don't
[1:28:51] call Kane transfers like this. National team, but.
[1:28:53] He's playing for Brian. What is the team he playing for
[1:28:56] if he's the best option they got?
[1:28:58] Because the Qatari league, the Saudi League, are not at the
[1:29:00] same level as the Prem. The Prem is Liga Liga.
[1:29:02] Something performance is out. Like if Roteggi is still our
[1:29:07] best option, then we're gonna play him.
[1:29:08] I I disagree, I don't care. I disagree as well.
[1:29:11] I don't care. Ronaldo Ronaldo gets called up
[1:29:12] to the Portuguese national. But but you want to.
[1:29:14] You're not while you start. Ronaldo.
[1:29:16] He owns the federation. He still scores goals for
[1:29:18] Portugal and he plays in the Saudi.
[1:29:19] I know, but this is the techie we're talking about.
[1:29:21] Like I'm sorry that he does not. He does not deserve.
[1:29:23] That Ronaldo conversation 20. 25.
[1:29:26] That way he does not deserve that level of.
[1:29:28] Treatment. This just is a bad sign to young
[1:29:30] Italians who probably now think that let's say I get to the top
[1:29:33] level of the sport, it won't be in Italy.
[1:29:35] He's not even young, he's like 2620.
[1:29:37] Seven bro he'd he hit a ridiculous and this is not to
[1:29:40] say Rotegi is top level of the sport, but he he is like bro
[1:29:45] this. He's a great, he's a good guy.
[1:29:46] Scored. That was in the Golden Boot race
[1:29:47] basically this year. Like he's not talking about a
[1:29:49] scrub. Here I said that if he came to
[1:29:51] Inter I would be happy with it, sure, but I'm sorry that a
[1:29:55] player of that level going to Saudi should not be part of a
[1:29:59] national team's plans after that, in my opinion.
[1:30:02] But that's what I'm saying. Vanished.
[1:30:04] Because he will not be achieving his potential like reaching his
[1:30:09] not. Playing at the right level, it's
[1:30:11] a lower level. Can we can we not all agree I.
[1:30:13] Disagree, you have players like it.
[1:30:15] Depends what mentality he's in if he still goes.
[1:30:17] To Saudi, yeah, but if he goes. To Saudi right now and he trains
[1:30:20] every single day fully full, like full pin like Angola.
[1:30:24] Conte went to the World Cup, went to the You're talking.
[1:30:27] About levels. And he and he played extremely
[1:30:30] well even though he was in Saudi the whole year.
[1:30:31] But. He had years, years of
[1:30:33] consistent, consistent performance at the top level,
[1:30:35] but it's like he had one. If he goes and he and he
[1:30:38] destroys the Saudi league, I would I would feel comfortable
[1:30:41] calling him up to an if he if. If he is like top scorer in
[1:30:44] Saudi by a very large margin, Oh well, then there's a.
[1:30:46] Conversation Aldo, you're still competing with.
[1:30:49] The the president like president.
[1:30:50] There's good players. The president of the Italian
[1:30:53] Federation said they're not gonna call up.
[1:30:54] But you see, that's once again, that's stupid completely ruling
[1:30:57] it out. Well, if this guy goes to Saudi
[1:30:59] league and is fucking torching that bitch, like like like
[1:31:01] completely. It's it's also a bad example to
[1:31:04] set that no if you even if you're in a shit league if you
[1:31:07] saw so. Super League then.
[1:31:08] But then again, it's the conversation.
[1:31:09] We gotta retain talent in Italy. Gotta retain talent then teach
[1:31:12] if you you don't. Need to retain talent nearly the
[1:31:15] the Italian talent needs to be playing in top leagues.
[1:31:18] Oh my God, Oh my bro. I feel like I'm I'm losing my
[1:31:20] fucking mind because I thought we've had this conversation.
[1:31:23] Yes and every time it's been a different point.
[1:31:26] No, I. Think.
[1:31:27] Italian should go to for the top level.
[1:31:29] Italian. Level.
[1:31:30] I agree. Italian teams can't retain
[1:31:32] Italian talent because of the financials.
[1:31:34] Yeah, I agree. But then The thing is, is that
[1:31:36] when you have a the taggy, he should be looking for a move to
[1:31:39] the Premier League or another top top your top European
[1:31:42] league. Obviously he will be considered
[1:31:43] for the Italian fucking national team if he's playing in the
[1:31:45] Premier League technology start for the Italian national team.
[1:31:48] He plays in the Prem. But if he decides I'm going to
[1:31:51] teach, I'm going to get a bag and I'm going to Saudi Arabia.
[1:31:53] I'm sorry, we, we want to promote Italians playing at the
[1:31:57] top level. I'm not calling up a guy that
[1:31:59] plays in Saudi Arabia. And so you agree with me?
[1:32:02] You. Could go to Saudi Arabia.
[1:32:03] You could go to Saudi Arabia and still be a top, top player for
[1:32:06] the national team. No, no.
[1:32:08] Should be done but don't blame Italy for that.
[1:32:11] Don't blame Italy guy that we can't be a a a guy that could
[1:32:14] have taggy 20 million in. Isolation.
[1:32:17] In isolation of this event, there's no one to blame in
[1:32:20] Italy. Yes, but this is from years of
[1:32:23] mismanagement that leads to decisions like this.
[1:32:25] But but Saudi goes to the Prem true.
[1:32:27] Atlanta's a well run team. They make a lot of money.
[1:32:29] They're in champions. They they literally offered him
[1:32:32] a contract extension they couldn't have 6 mil or some
[1:32:35] shit. Yes bro a player like could have
[1:32:36] taggy after the season he had deserves a pay raise of at least
[1:32:39] double or triple what the fuck he's making right now.
[1:32:41] He. Was making like 2 mil 2 mil.
[1:32:43] He's 4 mil I think at Atlanta. Like realistically he's at that.
[1:32:46] He's at that 6 to 8 mil, 6 to 8 mil no.
[1:32:49] He just scored fucking forty goals this season.
[1:32:52] He needs to if he's ever going to get a like.
[1:32:54] You have to think of it from a player's perspective.
[1:32:56] Also, how does he maximize his career earnings?
[1:32:59] Right now we just no, but it's not even about like you can play
[1:33:03] if you if Atlanta gave him let's say 10 mil half of what Saudi
[1:33:07] would like, he would have maybe thought about it in state.
[1:33:09] But but then again, Atlanta's spending $10 million a year on a
[1:33:13] singular player, but it's not there at all.
[1:33:15] Think about it from a techie perspective, he is on the level.
[1:33:19] There's players who get 10 mil a year from other teams who do.
[1:33:23] Haven't done nearly as much as as what?
[1:33:25] Maybe in the Prem, why didn't? I even Tony stay then.
[1:33:29] Well, Ivan Tony, I mean Ivan Tony's getting paid a lot more
[1:33:32] than than What the fuck? But it's all relative.
[1:33:34] It's relative to the league. Why didn't he stay in the Prem?
[1:33:36] Why couldn't the Prem team? Well, I think I I have to look
[1:33:38] at what the fuck Ivan Tony's making, but it's not, it's not
[1:33:41] like regular. But in my mind.
[1:33:43] Single out Italy as like this. We're getting ransacked by
[1:33:46] Saudi. This is 1 transfer that just so
[1:33:49] happened to be the top scorer of last season.
[1:33:51] I'm sorry, I don't see that Taggy being the top scorer next
[1:33:54] season in Italy. If he stayed at Atlanta I just
[1:33:56] wouldn't have seen it. Gaspedini's not there, Ivan.
[1:33:58] Tony makes that much. £400,000 a week.
[1:34:01] Yes, that's a lot. That is a lot.
[1:34:04] He would he. Flies back to London I'm pretty
[1:34:05] sure, like every month. But at Taggy, I'm sorry, is not
[1:34:09] a $20 million a year player. He's not.
[1:34:12] Don't consider, don't confuse it with starter to Saudi.
[1:34:15] He's a $20 million a year player.
[1:34:17] Yes, Saudi's not a top league. Saudi's fucking though this
[1:34:20] league's. It's not a top league.
[1:34:21] That league, that league will never have success to do show
[1:34:24] you this. You cannot tell me that a teggy
[1:34:27] going to Saudi Arabia is better for his career than staying in
[1:34:29] it or they. Just wasted 20 mil.
[1:34:30] It's not better for his career, but it's better for his life.
[1:34:33] Yeah, like what's the point? OK, so I'm going to take his
[1:34:35] life and I'm going to put his life as a starter.
[1:34:37] Oh. You have to think about it from
[1:34:38] a from a player's perspective. And I do.
[1:34:41] And I said I can't blame him. He would have to play 10 years
[1:34:43] at Atlanta to make the amount of money he would make in one year
[1:34:46] and I would have gone. On like a four or five mil.
[1:34:48] You would have to play 4. You have to think about it.
[1:34:50] Their window is small. As a player, your window is not
[1:34:53] and and the techie just scored forty goals.
[1:34:56] His leverage right now is at an all time high.
[1:34:57] He might never score this amount of goals in the season ever
[1:34:59] again. Yeah, it's time to secure a
[1:35:01] contract is right now. But I don't blame him for going
[1:35:03] for I. Think he made a smart move
[1:35:04] because I think he's way overvalued.
[1:35:07] Extremely overvalued. But why is it that Italian teams
[1:35:10] then we have to beg the question, why is it that Italian
[1:35:11] teams can't compete financially? But it's I don't want no but it
[1:35:14] all we. Just got the bound 40 minutes.
[1:35:16] Attalanta's well run, so I don't understand.
[1:35:18] Well run, but they're never at that level of a a Milan UV
[1:35:21] intern in terms of stature, in terms of.
[1:35:23] But a West Ham, a West Ham seller club, a West Ham can
[1:35:26] contain, can keep Jared Bowen. Well, they just sold.
[1:35:30] They just sold kudos. Well that's that was just
[1:35:33] aspirational thing. It wasn't because of a major pay
[1:35:35] rise. Kudos made a lot of money at
[1:35:36] West Ham. OK.
[1:35:38] But I'm sorry, it's like I have a hard time comparing Atlanta
[1:35:42] to. Yeah, well, we just keep anyway
[1:35:43] stressing over the same shit. I don't understand why Al Qadisa
[1:35:46] did this. What's the point for them?
[1:35:49] You. Could have went to Europe.
[1:35:51] I don't get it, England. Like what's the points?
[1:35:53] The flex of They got the top score for Seria.
[1:35:57] It's just the name. It's the name.
[1:35:58] But you got Rotegi. It's not even like bro, you with
[1:36:00] 20 mil a season, I feel you'd go in to go get Ozzy, man.
[1:36:02] I don't know, like like it's just stupid.
[1:36:05] I think it's just stupid for both ends.
[1:36:07] Like Al Qadisa will never make that 20 mil back.
[1:36:09] They won't get 20. What?
[1:36:10] They're going to finish 4th now in the Saudi league.
[1:36:12] Because realistically, top players in London, in London, in
[1:36:14] England offer 20 mil. Even if they were making close
[1:36:17] to what Rotegi's making, they'd probably reject the move.
[1:36:19] The benzo Tony would have taken it.
[1:36:21] Yeah, but most of those players. Right now, would Saudi Saudi are
[1:36:24] targeting players that make a disproportionately low amount of
[1:36:28] money compared to what the. Player I just, I just don't,
[1:36:30] it's just not it's I don't know, I don't get the whole Saudi.
[1:36:34] Thing it's Saudi bro. This guy, this guy is what, 25
[1:36:37] years old? 26.
[1:36:37] Years old, 26 I think. You're, you're getting five
[1:36:40] years out of him, six years out of production out of him.
[1:36:42] So as you build 5-6 years where take he's still going to be
[1:36:45] there. Hundreds of millions.
[1:36:46] Yeah, I don't know. Well, I hope in the meantime,
[1:36:48] while he's spending that five or six years, we have young Italian
[1:36:51] strikers that actually show up for the national team.
[1:36:54] I'm sweating, man, I'm sweating. And Archie Brown rejected Milan.
[1:36:58] I just have to put that out. There don't follow SO.
[1:37:00] Yeah, so Milan sent, Milan sent the private jet to a random gang
[1:37:02] player that was linked to Fender Bache and he actually got a call
[1:37:06] from Fender Bache. I have to read the quote one
[1:37:07] second. Because I was actually spending
[1:37:10] time on this or. Yeah, let me just read the quote
[1:37:11] and then we can end the podcast. OK, perfect.
[1:37:13] One second. Already clicked off retention
[1:37:18] and zero yeah. I mean, it's not about of RFC
[1:37:21] stocks. It's really not about retention
[1:37:22] honestly. It's about just like.
[1:37:24] At this I have to read this out. You got to end it off with a
[1:37:26] high note. I'm right?
[1:37:27] Impossible that I can't find this quote.
[1:37:29] You had it right before the. So basically Milan sent a jet, a
[1:37:31] private jet to Ghent and Fenerbache did the same thing.
[1:37:35] However, this guy was at the the the airport for a couple of
[1:37:38] hours, had to make a decision whether to join Fenerbache or
[1:37:41] Milan. The Mourinho call came and said
[1:37:43] come to Fenerbache. Not even Mourinho.
[1:37:45] Mourinho was part of that, Matteo Moreto said.
[1:37:47] Mourinho called, he decided to go to Fenerbache.
[1:37:50] Milan did not want to meet the agent commissions and good luck
[1:37:54] to to Mr. Archie Brown. So are you actually think it was
[1:37:57] agent commissions that was the deal breaker?
[1:38:00] It's a decision of his as well. Yeah, it's the player that the.
[1:38:03] The agent works for the player. Yeah, the player made the.
[1:38:05] Everybody promised Archie Brown some playing time.
[1:38:07] I heard about you. Yeah.
[1:38:08] Well, it doesn't always. After after Tayo left, it's not
[1:38:11] like there's a big competition at Milan for playing time, he
[1:38:14] said. The deal was basically done with
[1:38:16] AC Milan. I was ready to go, but then I
[1:38:18] got a call from the Fennerbachi president overnight that changed
[1:38:20] everything. The passion showed the vision
[1:38:22] and made me the decision clear. I knew I had to come to Fenner.
[1:38:26] Good. So where is Milan in 2022 that
[1:38:30] they are getting rejected for we're?
[1:38:31] Not starting a conversation about this, however.
[1:38:34] Couple of years later. Yeah, starting a rigid big
[1:38:35] conversation. So basically what we get out of
[1:38:37] this is that Milan is poorly run, like we've been saying all
[1:38:40] year. Concluding remarks what what I'm
[1:38:44] going to add. Italian football's mudded every
[1:38:46] single week. It's actually, well, maybe we
[1:38:47] should support Algeria. It's it's mostly Algerian
[1:38:51] football's like mudded like in in grand scheme of Africa.
[1:38:54] Probably better than Syria. It's probably the city out of.
[1:38:56] Africa. Yeah, exactly so.
[1:38:58] Yeah, maybe just go support England.
[1:38:59] There's something, yeah. Then I would have to support the
[1:39:02] Saudi league. Oh no, that's an Asian.
[1:39:04] Federal, that would be a top, top level of footy, yeah,
[1:39:06] anyway. Barbara, next week, come with us
[1:39:07] with who you're gonna support. Exactly.
[1:39:09] But decision day. Every single week at time.
[1:39:11] Football never ceases to to. Amazing.
[1:39:14] Drop a level. I think it drops a level every
[1:39:16] week on this part, Yeah, no. Pretty much.
[1:39:17] So anyways, that's signs out of rapid rate for Brentford, right?
[1:39:20] At a rapid rate, it's it's really.
[1:39:22] OK, we're just yapping Episode 66.
[1:39:25] Thank you guys for watching. That's it from us and we'll see
[1:39:28] you guys. See you guys next time.
[1:39:29] Thank you.
