Episode 43 - World Cup, Transfers, Man United

This week we took a look back at the first few games of the World Cup. We discussed some of the big scores and moments and whether we feel like the World Cup has really got going. We had our footballing news which involved plenty of managerial news as well as all the biggest transfer news from the past week. We then had a look at Man Uniteds lack of transfers so far this summer and what we think might happen this summer. As always we ended with some questions from our listeners.

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:05

Welcome back everyone, episode forty-three, Lads on the Sideline Podcast. It's me Connor, Charlie Bonnie Brother Shawn. Welcome back everybody. Hasn't really got gone just yet, has it like a couple of the big things are starting to come out now, haven't we?

SPEAKER_01 0:25

So yeah, well look at looking around that it's shock because some of the matches are on a lot of times of a letter, so it's sort of hard to go into the World Cup at the moment, isn't it? Like tonight's match there with France now in Senegal now. Look forward that it's on that good time, it's on at 8 o'clock. Yeah, something around at 2 in the morning, 3 in the morning, 11 at night, and all, and talk when you woke the next day. But look, you'd wait if it was brilliant, and if it was Brazil and Argentina, it was on 11 o'clock at night and there was a thwart of wines that woke up, you'd watch it. But you'll say, like, at the start it's minors against miners, and there's big teams against mine. You're not expecting much, but then it was a few shocks, you look right now, like just have to be a couple of shocks, or at least some some good results for some good tips for some teams, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 1:05

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, come here. Look, we'll touch on the all got through every game, but we'll touch on the World Cup so far um in a little while. But I suppose we'll start off with our nails and again it's seems to be loads of managers leaving and changing and whatnot. They can let's the fourth one that came out of the blue, didn't he? Leaving uh Ipswich.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

Yeah, so learning something to do it. That's Solskjaer could be one kill in the run of that one for it. Where's he gone?

SPEAKER_00 1:29

Don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:32

Yeah, that's all I think he's just taking a break.

SPEAKER_00 1:34

Fair enough. Yeah, which is unusual, but erm all the Ipswich fans, Ipswich fans you see online, they're all saying that they're gonna like the best manager they've ever seen and whatnot. Um I think he's gotten like three promotions in the last four years and two of them with the Premier League and all like that. Yeah, straight back up twice, yeah, very good. So they were all saying like he's taking them to places that they never thought Ipswitch would ever be. Obviously, if he won to the championship and see if he lived in trophies and whatnot, like so.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

And he looked away when he was with United, he was I believe he was a great coach. You know what I mean? Like he was talking about for the United job at time as well, wouldn't he? Like Carrie gets sacked, he'll be the next time. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. He'd be available. Yeah, it'd be cheap. And now we're not going back, you've probably had something to pay him as well, haven't you? Yeah, he's gone to AC Milan, yeah. So I think I think that saves United money, doesn't it? Ten million or something I heard as well. He had to pay his contract out. Yeah. So now this is his second year, like because you wouldn't have to pay for this season, so it would have been ten million or something. But you're still paying him every month, like to pay his wages, like.

SPEAKER_00 2:42

Not on one month, like, just no, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:45

So now it's um because he's at the signing now for AC Milan, like he fought fitties ten million like that, he was gonna get up united now, because he's at the start to get wages off AC Milan and everything. So we'll say it's from ten million.

SPEAKER_00 2:56

Yeah. Bit slower league, and yeah. No, I'm sure it's the eyes of the animal over there, like in the lane. I'm sure the newspapers are big on AC, but like worldwide, it's it's not gonna be as much pressure on them, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 3:12

No, he'd have learned a lot of United as well. Yeah, he would have learned a lot. He'd probably learn more for the for the 14 months or whatever it was at United, and he'd probably get learned forever. Yeah, true, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

So you send it up under as much pressure. Oh no, no. And then another bit of a shock, we only saw it today, didn't we? Yeah, the walls manager is gone. That just sort of came out of the blue, didn't it? That's true. That's actually a shocking. Edwards, I didn't even know he was gone. I only saw that whoever this chap is, Caesar Pexotto has said uh new wolves manager. I was like, when did he get rid of the fella? When did he manage it for seven months? Something must have happened, or must have been said. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

So in the background, something didn't because he he wasn't expecting it. It's supposed to be a shock to him as well, and he's only there seven months.

SPEAKER_00 3:55

Yeah, well, we are saying last year they are they are definitely planning for next season, they're playing a little bit better since he came in, etc. And I saw that you got this new fella in, I was like, when did you fellow get sacked? I didn't even see that. So you're saying bad. Ruthless. Yeah, well, it's bad, yeah. Rutle now. Like I mean, like it's like you got sacked and five minutes later the other fella gets hired. Yeah. Okay, but that was it with strange one, and then another strange one, just the last bit you know, uh manager now was Damian Duff. He's gone over to Brentford, he's gonna be the assistant manager now with um Keith Andrews over there. So good move for him, he got plenty of money for that. Yeah, did well with Shell, Sidney in fairness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, good player as well. People forget how good he was, don't they? You know he's a bit of a oddball, you know, he goes on a bit on his hell as a manager and all.

SPEAKER_01 4:45

But like he played on the pitch for he played for Chelsea, and he did well, like yeah, definitely him and Iron Robin and the wings or Chelsea, and you wouldn't have changed him. Like that's it. And then I heard about your talk about manager, they only heard of there Roberto Manchini or whatever is he's he's gonna put out the Portuguese John Nam after the World Cup for teenager. Yeah, we've just heard of Roberto Martin Roberto Martinez on the run, isn't he?

SPEAKER_00 5:15

He's gonna be charge of that.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

I'd say really, but look at mate, it's another manager available for somebody. Yeah, you know what I mean like a club manager as well, isn't he? He's more you're so jam or a football club, don't you march out of the international team, don't you?

SPEAKER_00 5:32

Mate Mo. You go to Portugal, will he? Nah, you couldn't go Jog and Clapp. You wouldn't know you'd think that was made from Reno now, wouldn't you? Yeah, like but obviously he's happy to go back to Real Madrid, doesn't he? That's it. He'll build a squ he'll build a squad. We'll go into the transfers now in a few minutes, but he's building a team for the next three years, I think, and that's about it. Yeah, he does that, doesn't he?

SPEAKER_01 5:58

United are the opposite. They build him for team for ten years, time you don't know what they're playing. Buying you up the team so they'd be good in five years. So I mean he just buys ready-made players, and in three years' time it's just sent us well, he's gone.

SPEAKER_00 6:08

He's ever yeah, if that's the managerial news done, then we were sort of touching on it last week with Ireland and Israel, so it's in a neutral ground now, they're not gonna the FEO said they're not gonna play it over here. And it's not as simple as like ah just boycott the game and don't play it, because like with the two you were saying, I think green, like if you don't you can't. Well you'd be suspended from competitions and all that. So it has to be played realistically, it has to be paid played, you know what I mean? Like so where do you play now? I don't know, there's probably something about Budapest or something or somewhere like that. So we'll see what happens. Where it won't be taken well anyway, but it likes to be just people give out about it. Well, yeah, either way, people like to just give out the narrative and that's what happens. Yeah, true.

SPEAKER_01 7:00

But there's pros and cons of both uh situations, but as we we say it and you say it as well, John, all the time, um politics should be kept away from football. It's a football game, it's a sport at the end of the day. You can you can throw your accusations in other things and uh are other ways of doing the league, but politics shouldn't be involved in football.

SPEAKER_00 7:16

Subscribe to the to the journal or the examiner or one of them if you want to know politics. Leave away football. Yeah, throw away. Which fits in with the last Britney News is United. Um the only Britney United news you have, shocking. They're signed up by Amazon now to the old documentary. And they're gonna follow them around for the whole of this season coming. And they're gonna uh release a documentary then. It's like a record feed you off for doing it. Don't know how much now. But Spores did it, didn't he? I think Man C. Arsenal, I didn't think yeah, Arsenal, I think they did it as well. Um yeah, so for all of them saying that he wouldn't let anybody in. They rejected Netflix. Was it Netflix, I think, last year, I think, or the year before he said no to Netflix, you know, you know, he wouldn't let anybody in like that. So he must have to be very stuck for money or else it was an offer they couldn't throw down.

SPEAKER_01 8:11

I believe it was only ten million. Somebody's saying I read it yesterday, somewhere in the way, ten million. Well, no, ten million is ten million, like not a lot for the trouble, all that privacy should have.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

Well it depends, like that they say it's gonna be a record um a record deal that Amazon are gonna pay. Like, so I don't know, they don't need to have spores today, do it. Amazon um Prime, like I wonder how much they got for the owner's uh documentary.

SPEAKER_01 8:40

No, do you know I just and you're on your dimension, I didn't even know for the one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:44

Do you know what I mean? I think it was a marinous there and all, wasn't he? In the dressing room and be strange, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

Just cameras following the money. But you look at you might be wrong saying ten million, but I'd that I just heard somebody saying like that was ten million, so as you say, like it doesn't seem a lot of money for it if like to be following it around for a whole year, like for a club the size of Man United. Ten million doesn't seem to be an awful lot.

SPEAKER_00 9:09

Cameras in the main dressing room. Yeah, yeah. Well it says I know that's the the name, right? Uh Tottenham said he made 250 million yet like there are yeah, well it says ten million. That's very unusual that though, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 9:25

Yeah. Well I just think it's a bit cheap, um like for all the for all the privacy that you you'd be losing out, like like especially like in part games and like like you know, the pressures on United as there is out being followed down by a crow.

SPEAKER_00 9:39

Oh no, you know? Strange, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 9:42

Yeah, look as a man, like it'd be a good documentary now, and like where it'll probably be like you said on Amazon Prime, or maybe Sky might get it like like Amazon are doing it, so only be Amazon. So that might be Amazon Prime, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 9:56

Yeah. Do they show Premier League matches, I think, don't they? Or show stuff like that. I know that well in England they do. When when it's on like Premier Sport here or the Alt Atlanta sport, I think. They show it. Yeah, Paramount or something like that, like yeah, hopefully when you pick up a troll you're even get to a final to see what it's like and they'll run into it. Yeah, well look at quick center be good, like yeah. You'd like to see them like starting now to see what the transfers are like, wouldn't you like to see how they go about the old see tumbleweeds blown through the the office of Wilcox and all their lads? What's going on?

SPEAKER_01 10:28

Yeah, that's what you're right. You'd love to see them doing it now, the draft agreement now and the transfer market's only starting. Yeah, you'd love to see like in a Wilcox office, like obviously not making phone calls to players and agents and all this and all. But glimpses of it, what's going on? Yeah. If you don't if you know nothing, there's nothing happening, so there's nothing to run. They're very slow, isn't he? Like United France.

SPEAKER_00 10:49

True, eh? It's very slow when they're trying to do deals. And that brings us on to our transfers, a little transfer corner, if you want to call it that. When you start with United. So Barcelona said they're not buying Russia. No.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

Do you know what? I'm not surprised that you don't want to buy them, because you just want to play one alone again, don't you? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:06

I say you don't really want to do like the right one was on the wall and you bought Gordon. That was the one.

SPEAKER_01 11:10

Yeah, you don't want to pay 20 million million euros, and that's it. Now he's well watered, I think, but where he gave them last year, like between goal and assist for 28. Um, and he's he's back in the World Cup squad down in Ireland, so he's he's he's on the up. I think it's a salary's the problem. Yeah, and that's the thing.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

He won't drop it. No, he just that's that's Uber, isn't it? Yeah, he has to realise what he is, he's not that good. Good player, but he's not that good worth 300 fifty grand a week. 350 grand a week. No, he's not that, sorry.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

And you know what the gas of bear is if he doesn't go there and and and he did they don't decide to say we'll be allowed to die now and nobody else was in. Well on the 4th of July he's to come back united.

SPEAKER_00 11:49

Yeah, he has to, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

Yeah, I don't know why we just take that.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

Yeah. Like we don't want them back. No.

SPEAKER_01 11:55

Because he doesn't want to play United and be my Australia's Mayor fans, he'd be the last person who wants to see what the club play United. What a waste.

SPEAKER_00 12:02

Imagine that, yeah. Local Manchester fellow, you'd give anything, you'd play Plate United for free. Yeah. And he's grown up as a fan playing with him, and he just couldn't give a box.

SPEAKER_01 12:14

No, and he's already a multi-millionaire and he's a hungry shy bag, won't drop his leading wages. Like how much money you just how much money do you need to spend? It should be delight to play football. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:24

Try help United back to win the league and all that. He would have been me. If he would have said and did that, he would have gone down as it's the same as the eggs and becker and all these sorts. Obviously, not that level. Yeah. But like close enough to it, um he could have been the captain now. Yeah, but all that sort of stuff.

SPEAKER_01 12:38

Well, look, he'd be only for himself, like what you did uh outside football and his outside football on and to look at me, you'd never take them back now, that's it. That's it.

SPEAKER_00 12:47

Absolutely not. Er again another one at United, it looks like they're gonna be missing out on Anderson because City are pushing forward a bit of deal, and they're saying 110, 150 million, wherever it is. And United just aren't gonna be bothered matching it or at least trying to bid for 'em. Like, so we don't know why.

SPEAKER_01 13:06

We keep saying it like you did stingy shite bags, because obviously our asses and spending money.

SPEAKER_02 13:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

They're sticking to this plan of like they're not going above this, or if it's 80 million, well, we're not gonna match that, so we'll just move on to somebody else. They're gonna get so frustrating.

SPEAKER_00 13:20

Plan C and D, then that's what happens. And then other other teams are already behind what's happening there. Well Matt C is gonna go forward or ahead. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:28

They're just the speaker. Do you know what? That's Will Cox all over just say, right? Um he hasn't proven that in the F United. Even the players running last year wanted to come to United, so they're easy to sign.

SPEAKER_02 13:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:39

You know that way. Yeah. And then he woke the other ones then that that knew what knew of him, like um, so they came. So so so far he's done nothing f for us in the transfer market, but my unit fans say like he's good at his job. No. No, yeah. Hasn't proved nothing.

SPEAKER_00 13:52

Persuading people to come. Yeah, why can't they go to Forest and say here's 120 million? And they'll probably say yes or whatever. Get into a bit more of a city, so what? Yeah. And then if the player comes in and says no, look, I'd rather go to C, then fine. But they throw around and be like, ah, we're not going to compete with City with the money. No, then no wonder if City and just obviously bigger and better than them. That's what happened. Oh, don't be billionaires. What did you want? Because then that what they do is they show their hand. Well, they have 120 million there and it just gets rejected and he managed to go to City. Well then West Ham would say, We want 85 million. We know you'd have that, you think you'd have change. Yeah. You know, that's what maybe showing your hand, but everyone knows you have money anyway, so just get into it. But we know you'd have money. Just get into it a bit more. You know what I mean? That's what that's what I'm I don't agree with that, but that's what I'm he that's what I'm reading and hearing. Some people are giving them excuses. No.

SPEAKER_01 14:44

And with Fernandez, and you should be going with everything. Like Fernandez should be going in, as you said, with Lewis Hall. You should be going in for all these players, like, and and go in, or or else if Chelsea let somebody else win Chelsea and then grin straight away at them and and and test people. Yeah. You should. It's Mani United at the end of the day.

SPEAKER_00 14:59

Like I don't know what sort of world you live in. Like years ago you were saying Rooney, Ferdinand, Keynes, you spent the transfer record on these players. Yeah. But like you look at the best five midfielders in the Premier League, you say, Art and Ali, two or four are going to be a hundred million plus players. But Roy, Casey, Enzo, Hernandez, and then obviously Anderson will go now. So four of them are gonna cost over a hundred million. Yes, you have to pay that. Yeah, if you want to be in America, you have to buy the elite. That's what it is. That's what you mean. If you want to get back to the top, you're gonna have to. What do you know? And it doesn't seem to be that if Anderson doesn't work, we can just get the next person. Because the next bit of transfer news is Tanali and Tottenham. And the Basey saying that that's close to being agreed. That's great. There's there's two we are main targets. That scores won't be finishing 17th anymore. No, because there's another one there as well. It'll be agreed today by Van Hecke for Bryant for 52 million. Yeah, good player, you only got 26 in seven half in there. So there's there's spores out one is in the at the World Cup played with yesterday to 94 against Japan, and that's trying to sign him. The other one isn't at the World Cup and they're trying to sign him as well. And United are just still moping around. What are you doing, like? Nothing. That's what they're doing. No. They don't mean what they say. And they're just being found out by other clubs activity.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

Yeah. Yeah. Like they talked about Anderson for nine months. He's our number one target, our number one target. He's definitely hit we know what we want, he's our number one target. And he's caused so some for the price tag on for 110 million, they just say no. What do you think he was? What did he talk about?

SPEAKER_00 16:37

What world did Wilcox well where does he live in his head? How do you think it's not gonna be any more than 100 million? Yeah. If Declan Rice well, or 101 million? Yeah, you know. No, no, much of Decan Rice 105, wasn't it? 106. Yeah, but that doesn't work like that, you know, on you.

SPEAKER_01 16:53

No.

SPEAKER_00 16:53

It's not FIFA.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

And it brings the rest of them up, as you said there. If he's 120, just say like Anderson, then you're looking for Fernandez off West Ham, like you wouldn't be getting him for 50 million because it's like the vote of people that buy back clause as well on their contracts. I know that you like you have that like so they have to sell him for at least six or seventy million to to start making any money. So if you want to make proper money, they want to be selling for eight or eighty-five million. You have to pay it. It's outrageous, I know, I agree, but that's the price.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

Yeah, yeah, it is. It's a mark of value now at the moment, isn't it? It's like walking into a pub and getting a point for nine euro and saying, No, I'm not buying that. I'll give you seven. No. Oh, yes. I think nine euro, right? You probably have to pay for it. That's it for God's sake. But uh and then other sort of targets United would be looking for to say would be Hall. But then this next one could impact that because again, I don't know where Coco has gone to Real Madrid. You mentioned Reno second ago, getting players in just for.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

He's probably 50 million as well, wasn't he? 60 million euros, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:49

So they're gonna look for a left back as well. And you can you could guarantee that Chelsea would go out and sign a left back before United do the way they ran. Like the way they do that business. Yeah, so that would come out of nowhere. I know he's Spanish and whatnot, but is your man maybe Reno doesn't like your man? What's this Alvaro Fernandez? Doesn't like him doesn't like these young players at all.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

No, you say the boys players that's like there now, ready to go.

SPEAKER_00 18:14

I think he didn't really play. He's a good footballer, and people are giving out that you know he lost him, but he's starting back starting left back for Reynolds, but he's not now. In one season. No, gone, gone, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:24

And Silver's trying by Re Madrid as well.

SPEAKER_00 18:26

He's the next one, yeah, Bernardo Silva. So we're as well.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

I know that meant failing. I mean business, nothing. Yeah. Rodery, like if if he does go, like he's a little very fairly experienced, you say ready to go. So they are building in the building something for the next three years that you want if you win, he always tries to win something, and if that's what he wants to do it, that's why he does it. He will do it.

SPEAKER_00 18:45

And then it's where there's no doubt they'll do his brewers as O'Lease and other players like this 150 million bins, like so they'll but they'll sign someone big as well. Like so they're not finished by any manager. Don't freeze, canate, silva, cocaine. You know, you probably haven't even bought a toast, are you? No, and that's and that's no, but they're the biggest power powerhouse and water football, I think. Oh, them and then us, I think, and Barcelona being around there, but anyway. But you might have fell off the wagon 13 years ago and haven't got back. Real Madrid, look at that, they haven't won a proper trophy in two years, sorry, and look at the money they're gonna have to spend in there. Yeah, look at look at the business they're gonna do.

SPEAKER_01 19:21

Yeah, you know, we always say they're just getting run as a business, not as a football club, frack the air.

SPEAKER_00 19:26

And then the last, and then again, it's like all the transfers this window so far, it's been a bit of a sort of out of blue. Uh I don't know if Liverpool fans are happy about it or not, but uh Quantz has gone back to Liverpool 55 million uh euro pounds.

SPEAKER_02 19:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:41

The um saw them last year for 25 million, and they're buying it back for 55 so on uh close to needed. You're like, oh so what to be loaning out last year for 20 million just to get them back, like you know, we'll be paying 20 million for them, like yeah. Not great at all. Big gangly leading centre half and right back. That's like I don't know, it's it's a bit like Ake and all, like if you're not good enough to play one position, are you really brilliant? Like I know you can like Dan Board can play left back and centre half, and you get an average out from all right.

SPEAKER_01 20:18

You say if you're if you're one if you're only a one position player, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

Like Franz Lyck's not gonna play right back.

SPEAKER_01 20:22

No, like that's what I'm saying, like so, but he's really good at his job. Yeah, so if you're only a one position player, you have to really go to it. Yeah, do you know what I mean? Like, and that's it. So you said he's not he's he's not that good at the at his job. Do you know what I mean? But the car so that's it so they're to spend an uh like an extra 20 million back on him.

SPEAKER_00 20:40

So yeah, newness might be going back to overfield as well. I hope they do sign him. Yeah. No, if the head is chicken. Yeah, he can't hit a bar and door to that, but he gets into some positions. Oh, he does in fairness, he's energetic and all, but again, like it's like we said last week, is this a case of him trying to go back to Klopp's way of playing, but you're not gonna get that. You can't again, like what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 21:04

You'll never get that. Yeah. You never get that. No. Look, this is his new manager, Riola, he has his own way of playing, so like look at I'm sure like there's there's players like that that's coming into Liverpool's club now that he will be picking like the board we're picking as well. You know what I mean? Like we united, like Amaron like when he was there, like should the board, like Wilcox picks players, and you make them fit into your system. Yeah. I mean, like stupid fucking way down there. Like, the manager should be picking the players to see his system. So I mean, like, shouldn't be the other way around. Like that manager's now the coaches, isn't he? That's what you want, isn't it? That coach, we'll pick the we'll pick the player now, you make you fit him and then I'll stand a half or centre forward. That's what you're getting.

SPEAKER_02 21:42

I don't get that.

SPEAKER_01 21:43

No, it's ridiculous. I mean, like it wouldn't happen in Alex Rags in the time. He'd have not hoped, he ran everything. Whatever players he went to go, we didn't get them all, obviously. But whatever players he he brought in is the ones he wanted. He wasn't told to pick this and make it work. No, he wasn't.

SPEAKER_00 21:58

No, absolutely not. Um We've got to move on. We asked a couple of Easter questions, we're moving up to the League of Ireland. So let's watch one or two of the games on um on Friday. And it's close enough up at the top now. Pats have a game in hand, but they're only five points behind Rovers. And uh the one J draw at a 2-0. But then Rovers lost against Shells 2-1. Yeah. That would have been a big for Shells in Fair, yeah. Big loss for um for Rovers, but sort of I know the top of the league, but they always seem to just a bit like Man City, you know, they just do it at the end, don't they?

SPEAKER_01 22:37

Do you know what it is? And I'm not even saying because it's it doesn't matter what league you're in, if you're gone to them in the league, it's still pressure. It doesn't matter. Obviously, the better league, the more pressure. But they just seem to be able for the pressure because over the years they seem to be playing the more bigger games, like they'd be playing in Europe. So they used to play in Europe like like in the Champions League, or if they go down to the Europa League or other way it works out. Um they just seem to be the bigger club in Ireland, don't they? Sherman Groves.

SPEAKER_00 23:01

You get all the best players and all that thing like they got Goodwin as well. Uh Waterford, they were eight points behind Sligo at the bottom, and they beat them 4-0. So now it's only five points between them perfectly. Dragon was a good win, yeah. Yeah, well bottom place gets relegated, and the second last gets into a playoff with uh the second places in the division like yeah. Yeah. So for any of the listeners there that don't know much about the Irish League, they probably wouldn't if they don't see any reason why they'd be watching it. Yeah, sure could watch it and it's the quality's getting a lot better, so but uh the season runs usually from February to November. Yeah. Give or take, isn't it? Yeah, it's a summer. Around that, I guess. So during the summer when the premiership is and all the other leagues are finished, the Irish League is going on, so we can remember watch that. You know, the World Cup is obviously going on now.

SPEAKER_01 23:49

So look at you look at it even there, look at um uh only today it's you're talking about League of Ireland. Um there's four teams in in in in in the final Europe representing Ireland, like it's like uh Shamel Grove was dirty, bows and shells. Already three of the fixtures came out. Shamelogrove was playing Florina, FC, from El Malta, um in the Champions League qualifier, and then you have Dirty and they're playing a team from Bulgaria. Now it's probably a hardest team, so it used to be a hard game, but it is like um CSKA Sofia, like I think they're the top team in Bulgaria, you know what I mean? Like so like they'd be hard to beat. Kingdom of Sheridan is a little bit in, didn't he? Yeah, that's what they're saying. They'd be playing them in the qualifier of the Europa League, and then you have Bowers playing against St. Joseph's of um Gibraltar. Now, like that could be like not saying an easy game, or would have never heard of obviously them to say, but they're playing them in the Compass League, and then Shells will find out tomorrow who they're playing in the qualifier. So look at they're representing uh Irish football, the League of World, so so you know just like you're talking about there now, Connor results. So that's good that they're now like all their matches will be in July. Yeah. And if you win, if you win them games like over the two legs away in the home, you're guaranteed then it'll be in the in the group stage. Yeah, it's money. Like it's it's big money.

SPEAKER_00 24:59

Yeah, massive money. Massive. Right then, I suppose the World Cup. What do you what do we think so? It doesn't feel like a World Cup. Not really, doesn't it? No, but I can't get into it, though. Is it like what you said? Because matches around at like two and four in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 25:15

Yeah, and look at as well as that is like it wouldn't really be getting going yet, like like the source, like Mexico and South Africa. Now, what was the very first game in the competition? There's like three red cards, just say, and like the fourth red card was a red card, because won't grow over two long to say, but South Africa were absolutely brutal. Yeah, yeah. They were very, very poor. So I mean, like, so you're gonna expect a few games of that, then then the big big two big results just say like that were really, really one is a huge result. But even Australia being twenty two-nil was a good win for Australia, right? Like that was that at all, no, like that was a good win to say, and USA winning 4-1 like as a home container say, but last night, like the Cape Ferry against Spain, like like I should hope them Cape Ferdy, anybody that lives in Cape Ferries or anybody went out to the World Cup, have to celebrate that forever. Because you might never get another they didn't even score, just say, but he got a point against one of the favourites. Yeah, brilliant result, like, and then we've obviously a player playing for Sham McGraw, wasn't it? Roberto Lopez got a great block in at the end.

SPEAKER_02 26:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:13

I hope they celebrate forever.

SPEAKER_00 26:15

For later on, yeah. Well, there you go. I could probably we could ask it now, like you know while we're there, wh while we're talking about so they're coming back to you, knowing what do we make of um the performance of Lopez off Capo Verde from from James?

SPEAKER_01 26:28

Yeah, look, he had to work hard. The goalkeeper was supposed to have a great game as well, he got man to match, but he was the second closer. Now I only seen the highlights to say, and I know Spain had like 27 shots or something, eight or something on target, and hit the bar ever to say, and you have to ride your luck a little bit when you're playing against teams like Spain to say, but you did and you defended well. And shoot, that's the result of that. No matter what happens, that's probably gonna be the result of the World Cup. That's all probably the biggest flops, I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_00 26:57

Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in the force match of the last World Cup, remember?

SPEAKER_01 27:00

Yeah, that's right, and you went on to win it. I'd like to be France and Panas would say, but you still won it.

SPEAKER_00 27:04

They didn't win every game they won't win it as that. It would be surprised. It wouldn't surprise. Look at the other game was a drawer as well, wasn't it? You're a boy in Saudi Arabia.

SPEAKER_01 27:13

Yeah, look at the game. Even Jeremy did they played against um Kurakau, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00 27:18

I wasn't that wasn't a 7-1 match either.

SPEAKER_01 27:21

No, the fourth half now, it was now away 3-1. I was watching it, the first half now. They played all right. Got a new prize and a goal and had another couple of chances, and then I wasn't surprised that it would have been up there because it's still Jeremy against Kurakao. Pretty good and bad. Like it certainly wasn't a 7-1 game.

SPEAKER_00 27:36

What did you think of their water breaks? Even wasn't that much Kurakao had like the score to make it 2-1. 1-1 was 2-1. There was a water break just as Kurakao had a bit of momentum. But then Van Dijk was giving out about it as well, because they were when they played Japan to the day, their stage was like air conditioned and it was fine and all, and you still took a water break and whatnot. So should it be just if you're playing in Mexico and it's 40 degrees in Miami? Yeah, it should be Pacific. It doesn't have to be for it's only a water break, just you either have it or you don't. It's a tactical break now, surely.

SPEAKER_01 28:10

Yeah, we're talking about tactics. Yeah, you know you're having a soap and your man's out with a boat. Yeah, you look or even England tomorrow, and they're playing in Dallas, isn't he?

SPEAKER_02 28:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:17

Right. If that's air conditioned, and you can pull the roof over if you want to. And I believe, like, if you walk into it and it's warm outside, like as you obviously in Dallas you're gonna be scared. It'd be like walking into a fridge. I reckon it's supposed to be perfect conditions to play a match. That you wouldn't really need a three-minute water break. No. Do you know what I mean? Not playing in a fridge. No. No, not really a bottle of water off yourself.

SPEAKER_00 28:41

But you know what I mean. It's silly because it's a good thing. It's supposed to be a brilliant stadium. It's gonna kill the momentum of the game, man. Yeah, it is, isn't it? Yeah. So in the in the stadiums where you need it, fair enough. Players killing over. Oh, yeah. Because he is not a professional athletes, but still he can get to the games right very quickly, you know.

SPEAKER_01 28:55

Yeah, and look at Khmer, Brazil started off slow, but seems you said the second way Argentina lost the first game and Argentina went on to win it. Brazil, a good good, good uh win for Scotland. Now I don't even find Haiti, but it doesn't matter when you look at look at Spain and obviously still a win. It doesn't matter. One win could get you through the next rounds as there is because like three quarters of the teams that finished all qualified to not get rounds. Yeah. So one win because it could easily be enough just to get you through. Do you know what I mean like? They did play well.

SPEAKER_00 29:24

Morocco could go back.

SPEAKER_01 29:27

Look, the France and Senegal have a good side as well. Look at this, they're they're they've a lot of players we know, haven't they? Like playing the premises, but they've a good side. That that won't be an easy game for France tonight. No, not a France, no. That's under a good time as well, it's under eight o'clock. Yeah. And um then I do the game we thought was the best game, well, definitely the best second half, but um Holland and Japan, yeah. Second half was very good. Good two good teams, yeah. Yeah, very good two teams, like yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:52

Quick and fairness, I know we put Japan down to be like the biggest surprise, it's just like we think it's saying to you, Shannon, wasn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if I saw anything getting to like eight quarters or semi-final. Holland are a good team as well. Yeah, good players like that. The defence is big, big a big defence. Yeah, and that dangers from corners, Van Dyke and all Van Hecke, yeah, Van De Ven, done freeze what six foot two or three.

SPEAKER_01 30:16

Like he's scoring a goal today. Yeah, he's played well. He saw West Ham, I believe. Did United supposed to be interested in him as well.

SPEAKER_00 30:25

Yeah, some of the 50 million or something. Yeah, yeah. He's not a bad player, no. And the young as well, saying to you, he just gets overlooked for like the best midfielders. He's just silky on the ball, isn't he? Like, makes it look easy. Yeah, twists and throwing away at players, and you like so easy on the ball, eyes in the back of his head almost. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:44

Brilliant player. He's a bit united in game when they were looking for him at that time. Like, yeah. But look here, but it's why would you be scroll to sucker man night time when you still were a bars along with him, man and stuff?

SPEAKER_00 30:53

You'd rather play with Gabby and Pedro in the middle, wouldn't you, than Fred McDonald's? Yeah, so you know what I mean by so it'll kick in the gear, hopefully. Like you said, this would be a good game now, France and Senegal. Would you rather I have a question, Fice I don't know what I was saying to you today. Would you rather the World Cup now with 48 teams and the however many groups there are? Or would you rather four groups with the best 16 teams in it? And then it gets into a quarter final, semi-final, final, and it's over. No, stick with the 48 because Ireland will never make it in. Yeah. Never have a chance.

SPEAKER_01 31:29

And then it gets the minus with the Cape Ferry, it gives them a chance. So they do that what you did with Spain.

SPEAKER_00 31:34

As a watching spectacle, it's probably better, yeah. Yeah, because that's what you think. It's like it's probably the best in the world, if you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 31:40

Like I mean, like it's but it will be like come here, it has to be the best in the world coming to the second round in the quarter for the last 16 and all. It will kick off the the end of next week. Yeah, you know, that way, like like there's Scotland won the other night now, and then it'll be Haiti. They're playing Friday again already, so I was on another three days. So the matches come quick and fast. Before you know, like the first 12 or whatever, 16, wherever it is, say 16, obviously, because if it's 48, it'll bring down. So the first 16 things will be gone everywhere by doing the next week.

SPEAKER_00 32:09

Just gonna go. Like no disrespect anyone from these countries, Chelsea Oil that aren't there, so fair play, somebody like Iran played New Zealand the other day. Yeah, like no offence, but that shouldn't be a World Cup match. Like, you know what I mean? Like, like that's a bit. Yeah, they're not gonna win it, Iran. Like, I know it's great for that country to be there. Yeah, yeah. Should so I wonder should that be like a second competition or something like for all those tri countries, like you know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Like a championship version of the World Cup, like maybe I don't know, like just leave the elite to the elite, like yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:43

If you if if you wanted to be the World Cup, like the best team in the world should be playing, so every game should be a good hard game, and like that's it.

SPEAKER_00 32:49

Maybe look at and you could be complaining about it.

SPEAKER_01 32:51

Look at look at you were talking about that then, man. Uh look talking. The man um they won game and got sacked from the World Cup. That's the quick as ever. Somebody else got Sweden beat uh Tunisia the other day, didn't he vote one? And uh two hours after the match of Tunis, your manager got sacked.

SPEAKER_00 33:06

Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_01 33:07

Straight away. It's the quick as ever. Some people lost, somebody got sacked last year, they lost two games or something like that. And then uh, but this is the quick as ever, like one game and gone. After two hours you got sacked.

SPEAKER_00 33:18

So well, before Sean has questions here, before we move on, I was watching the Belgium and the Egypt game yesterday. Egypt looked alright as well. It looks good and forward, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 33:26

Like yeah, like how could you come on the show and be fashioned? There's a non goal in the end. Well, they didn't go in the highlight, just saying on the news, but when the trade my jumping in on the ball and ends up in the top count, Egypt looked some of the acting teams in fairness, they are the quality's getting a bit better, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 33:42

Yeah, fairness. Oh yeah, 100%, like yeah. And we've been talking about the World Cup there, so um a couple of people wrote into us, people have been talking as well. Rob wrote into us there. What do we think of the World Cup so far? So I think that might answer it for it. Okay so far. It's what we expected so far, isn't it? Has it been as Americanised as you thought was going to be?

SPEAKER_01 34:01

Um I don't know really. Now the first game was a bit, I thought, because when you took the three minute break, they showed you advertisements.

SPEAKER_02 34:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:09

And that's really what this America is all about. Money isn't advertisements and all. But a couple of them haven't done that since, so I don't know what the story is there, but I haven't really been watching too many of the games to answer that question, Sean. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's been honest. You'd expect like cheerleaders on drawing the break and all that sort of stuff. So we haven't really gone down that road yet, you know.

SPEAKER_00 34:27

And then obviously we answered the one earlier on from James with um Lopez off John McGrove or something. Yeah, yeah, fair play. So I mean, that's great. That's great. I think he went against Stephen Bradley, didn't he? Against the manager's wishes or something. Was that something like that? Because they're in the middle of the season. To be fair, you know.

SPEAKER_01 34:42

Like he's the captain. Yeah, yeah. So you'd who wants the captain to believe he's a good player for them, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 34:48

So he's on the one of the American stations, doesn't he? Giving an interview with him and Ibrahim bitch, Ibrahim bitch was interviewing or something, and they were having a bit of slang of it. You'd have to let him go.

SPEAKER_01 34:59

Ah opportunity for a lifetime. You know, the first time ever qualifying for a World Cup. Yeah, yeah. You might have to let him go, that's it.

SPEAKER_00 35:05

Yeah, he's a good player. Um Jordan wrote into us as well. He said, Is the weather affecting the World Cup?

SPEAKER_01 35:13

Yeah, well look, here I'd say definitely the heat definitely takes a lot out of you. As you say, we see you see some of the games now, and and I haven't much many, but I don't want to look at some of the the ends of the games, some of them that look knackered.

SPEAKER_00 35:26

Yeah, trying to run around. There was a one was it Bosnia and Canada. The Bosnia players were out on their feet. I was saying, remember you were saying that's a match, he looked knackered and he's holding his la the backs of his legs, and one ball got played over the top straight away, both his legs cramped over and both of them, and you're like, Yeah, that's he's got it.

SPEAKER_01 35:46

If you run around, Sean, you were a midfielder, Sean Connor, you were the centre half. When you were real more than anybody, Sean, you watch you playing football to say, and um if you're running around with that over there when you and you're playing in warm countries to say there's no air conditioning in the stadium to say, you could lose six pounds in a match.

unknown 36:02

Right.

SPEAKER_01 36:03

So that you take the dehydration out of that time, yeah. You're losing all that, like and you know, you so you so you're reading it, them games you need a water rate to say. So definitely the weather when it's in them games definitely affects. Yeah, I think it does affect the game. That's why I think a South American team will win it, somebody like that. Or obviously, like you pick Spain or Portugal, like, but it has to be something like that.

SPEAKER_00 36:22

African teams are doing well, don't you?

SPEAKER_01 36:24

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 36:27

But you do, and you know what? I didn't know this, isn't it? Yeah, and they go over and train and like you were saying when they're playing the Mexico City, like the humidity and the altitude and all like that's what they used to do, isn't it? When they train for their marathons and their ten thousand metres.

SPEAKER_01 36:39

What they do is they go up around the mountains and train where there's nowhere. That's what that's what they like the canyons and all down, the Ethiopians now when they're all down, they do they're running, they do what they train them in a high altitude. So when they're coming in and they're running just saying around the Olympics, just say if it's in just say anywhere like Paris. Greece, Paris, anywhere that shut they can run 10,000 run marathons and sprint at the end and not be sweating enough. That's crazy. They're unbelievable, at least, yeah. Like you have to say, like, and as you said, it approves now with we watch this now. Some of the African teams now is in the war coming out, it doesn't seem to be taking a ball to it, they're standing off pretty well, didn't they? Yeah, yeah. Fairness, and as I said, tonight's game with Senegal and France, don't that won't be an easy game for France. Senegal. Senegal are a good side.

SPEAKER_00 37:17

Oh, he's in here. You could see them maybe not this World Cup, but you could definitely see an African team winning the World Cup. Yeah. Then in the next league, in the next four or five. That'd be good to see it. So it'd be the next difference. Yeah, France is Synegal on the telly behind us there. That's fine. That might make sense, but it doesn't know. Being a lot of colours is uh lovely Senegal and Cameroon and usually in it.

SPEAKER_01 37:40

It's great. At the end of the day, like it's still a great spectacle, isn't it? The World Cup.

SPEAKER_00 37:45

Yeah. Yeah. Gets you through the summer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:48

Well, transfer news is not getting through the summer, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:51

So football, mate. Yeah, right. So Darrell wrote in to us, um so can you just pick your top five signings for Manchester United? And why? This summer? This summer, yeah. This summer, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:07

But we have to be realistic. Well, look, we have one, and you wouldn't mean the force on Edison now, it still hasn't done his medical yet, like a revolver like are we gonna include him as in the five, or we could come we'll sign it.

SPEAKER_00 38:18

I don't think it's even be like because he he's you don't think he's good enough. You could take him out, obviously you can't take him out, but that's what I mean. No, yeah, I'll disregard him. Yeah, film who didn't give me a minute to think.

SPEAKER_01 38:31

Well, look, yeah, you're not really going back to the the ones we've we've been speaking about, like like no Tumani could be available. Now, because it doesn't seem like we're going to get hands in a finale, you know, when you said like there's a force too. So we don't won't roll over too long to say because we all have to give our opinion. But like Timini comes available like for Raymond off Realm and Vale if Marino doesn't want them, because you just say brings in another two or three, you'd have to be going to him for your force, and then because you've had to lose now two targets already. Then I think definitely um Fernandez, they should be going, he's a good player for West Ham, so they should be going out again him. That'd be a three midfielders because they'd have Edison to say, and then Lewis Hall, they should be getting him as well as a left. You need a left back, definitely. Um fairly short at left back, and we need something to replace Shaw. That the dog can can do a job there, the low can slip out there, he's not a left back, it's as simple as that, he's not even a right back. So we definitely need a left back, and I just believe today like that like we need a forward somewhere along the way, whether it's a centre forward or a left wing, I just say that, but like because he playing Cunny there last year, he's not a left winger, and we were all right on the right wing with and Bremer and Magister say he scored as well the other day, didn't he? Yeah, so um so we need a left winger, that's how I think we need as well. So another couple of midfielders, a left wall and a left winger, that's what we'd be going for.

SPEAKER_00 39:47

Yeah, it's hard to sort of disagree, really, isn't it? Hall will be nearly him and uh Marquis sign, like uh Tuomini. Fernandez after that. That'll be added some of the quality to our theory. I think we need a backup striker. Do well look we do say.

SPEAKER_01 40:14

You could say eight. But like if you're saying five, like you definitely need three midfielders, a left full and a left winger. That's just say five wind picking to say now we know you could like you definitely could get a centre half, you could definitely get a right full. You know what I mean? Like, so the fair there's other positions like, but like if it's gonna be working like on on the team this year, it has to be the midfield, but a left fool. We definitely need a left fool. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 40:38

I think Metetta up front could could be an option. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:43

Well you would put it up to Sesco, but but he wants to play all the time.

SPEAKER_00 40:46

Yeah, well it's enough games there for not all. Yeah, so you know they need to have rotators. So I think if you're getting Danny Wellbeck or something in, if Sesco's out there playing two games, one on a Sunday, one on Wednesday, yeah, and they have an away games at Arsenal or something, you can't be playing Danny Wellbeck in front. No, you wouldn't. Somewhere like that, yeah. Even like even on Losky, if he came for it, I don't think he needs someone who could who can rival.

SPEAKER_01 41:10

Yeah, we need somebody to ruin the run. He still does run around a lot, doesn't he? But like it's the next season, so it's another year older, isn't he? So when you look at it.

SPEAKER_00 41:18

Well, it's still probably people good experience in and up.

SPEAKER_01 41:21

Yeah, but look, we look at it's I always say this when it comes to transfers and all, there obviously it looks like Tonali's gone to sports because he wants to sign for an Italian uh manager to say so. Um and Anna's we're going to see just say, so we left for the rest. Well, you want to get the best of the rest and get get off our arcers and start doing something.

SPEAKER_00 41:39

Yeah, Alex Scott's a good player, though he's a good player. He is a good player, yeah. I just don't understand why Hall has why he hasn't signed him. Yeah. He wants to leave Newcastle, he's young, he's English, he's not at the World Cup. Do you know what the other play don't give the fuck money Luke Shaw? Yeah. He's basically just Luke Shaw all over again, isn't he? Yeah, but isn't this the money like that?

SPEAKER_01 41:57

But in this United all over, to just do things slow. Slow, slow, slow. And they're so frustrating for the fans all the time now. Like, this is supposed to be that big summer. We're saying this is the big opportunity now to go up and do something, and you've got teams doing things, and there's players that woke up and all the right to find out, and United are still fucking on their asses doing nothing. Talking, talking, talking. No, they're all there taught their representatives, talking to say they taunt their thing, and nothing was out. What speed and talking can you do? No, I felt hardly. Just dingy, they're just miserable. Yeah. You won't pay the money.

SPEAKER_00 42:32

It was in work, uh, Carly who's asking maybe going to the I don't think you obviously you didn't you might even listen to the previous podcast, maybe going to the Leeds and United match. Oh, yeah. Last pre-season game, isn't it? No, no, second one or after in Portland, is that?

SPEAKER_01 42:45

Yeah, they'll play an AC Milan, then yeah, they're Amaron will be back again.

SPEAKER_00 42:51

They'll play PSG on the Saturday, I think. Then they'll play Leeds over here on the Wednesday, and then they'll play an AC Millan then on the weekend after then. Before the league starts the following weekend. So God knows what sort of team we'll get to watch.

SPEAKER_01 43:06

There's lots of the fixtures becoming out fairly soon, like this weekend. Is it this way they think is it?

SPEAKER_00 43:10

Yeah, yeah. So yeah, we are going to the match. Yeah, yeah, I'm looking forward to it again. Wednesday, even in it should be should be a bit of a crack. Yeah. That's it. Might see one or two new signs, that's about it. Yeah, well, hopefully we see more of that. I always try and watch the preseason games, all of them. No, but if sometimes they'd all be at a reasonable hour now, this time, but sometimes whether it is America or they're in China, somewhere like that, it could be two on the morning. Which I have set up in the past for. Yeah, yeah. This time all of them would be available. Maybe on holidays.

SPEAKER_01 43:40

Look, we're still encouraged about what where they finished last year, and we we can only look forward to next year. We just have to hope that they get the transfers right. If they're getting an inexperienced manager, which Carrie gives, now we did great, but he's still inexperienced, no matter what. Do you know what I mean? Like um, they can't be getting them inexperienced players by the back that rook. You have to get experienced players. And players said you really want to go in. They can't be waiting for players to say, Fernandez, now you put in the transfer and say you only want to go to my United, because we get you about 65 million because you just want to come to us. No, we don't do the business. You can't be waiting around for players just to say that you oh you only want United. I think that's the way it works.

SPEAKER_00 44:16

I think Conya and Vemo Lashio were just two random ones like that that they wanted to come to United. Like Cisco, and oh he wanted he torn down more money and that from the base, but it's not as if he wanted Cisco, he was our the around the lap, Lee Williams. He was the Moon.

SPEAKER_01 44:35

Yeah, Gog, yes. Of um Arsenal.

SPEAKER_00 44:38

Yeah, so he was the third choice. Apparently, she's torn down more money to come to us, it wouldn't never pass a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 44:43

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:44

So look at lucky he had a good season and that's it. Oh, did he do, yeah. So look, we'd be encouraged for next season, but you need to go after arc's and to start doing a bit of business, and that's it.

SPEAKER_00 44:54

Curious to see how do you get. I don't think he'll get a left winger. Dargue's gonna be that left wing or anything. Yeah, Louis's not bad now, just saying I think Dargu's gonna lead and somebody say John into Garrett Bayle, but I wouldn't be surprised if he went to another level of around, like I don't know, we used to speak about it a good bit, don't we? I mean, you know, Sean. Yeah, it's an extra yard of pace that not many players have.

SPEAKER_01 45:17

Put it this way, when he came in January to the rest of the for the fourth part of the season, he struggled a little bit. And then when the season started last season, the great season, and that's a whole season now and and and and and a half to say in the league now. I'm sure that would have done the world a good. He's he never stopped running, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_00 45:33

He's done a lot of training by himself and a lot more training by himself. Yeah, so you can see him woke up for that in the room. Yeah, he's gotta actually play as a winner. What he is seeing him just skipping pass fullbacks and whipping balls into Cesco and I have a feeling that he could see. Yeah. But then if you've been enough three years, maybe Barrett's alone or Ray Major try signing him.

SPEAKER_01 45:53

Yeah, well look, if you're right, if he does that then and then let's say what you're saying, Sean, then if if if if they're if they're not gonna sign the left winger they'll say because they're gonna use him as a left winger, because I know they have Cunny there as well, they'll say it's a completely different player, just say he gives you something completely different, which is great, just say right. Well then you need to go out and and and put something into the forward line instead.

SPEAKER_00 46:11

You need to. Yeah. Probably just someone out there that we don't know. The Germany matches it, and your man slot the back at the back looks like a good white center half. He won every single head of him in the corner as well.

SPEAKER_01 46:21

But shouldn't he? He did score, but I mean he couldn't score more because he won every head of it. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:28

And fairness and they did get argued from nowhere and Laman's from nowhere. So maybe he'll pull another one from God knows early. Look at the Belgian League or something. Yeah. And that's it. Yeah, there you go. I don't know, yeah. That's hope so. Yeah, no, that's it. Quick one this week. Again, just as a little recap and the woke up matches hope for transfers and whatnot. We do the same next week, and that'll keep us going during the all summer. So any questions, fling them into Sean. Yeah, we're in.

SPEAKER_01 46:56

Yeah, that's it. It's quite well, there's no football on there's an premiership. We still miss it. It's nice and relaxing though, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 47:04

Like we've got you rant it there, we have done that thing now. Well, transfer windows now, relax them both. Yeah, we're not. Not watching them again.

SPEAKER_01 47:12

Even when they're not playing, do you have us playing stressed?

SPEAKER_00 47:16

Well for looking we go and we've watched this France and Senegal game now and hope it's a good match. That's it. We'll be back then next week for uh episode 44. Yeah. And yeah, right then we'll speak with you next week, and thanks for listening. That's great, cheers. Thanks. Thank you. Bye bye.
