Liverpool played two friendies today, our home to Sevilla and Las Palmas. A four-woman in the fourth game, and Nilla will draw in the second. Mixed squads, true. And then we're going to talk about them for a little bit. We're going to talk about a little bit of transfer stuff. We're going to talk about Virgil van Duy, as well. We have some comments. We actually read them, there's an awful lot, not an awful lot in them, but one thing does come out where nothing has quite changed on the contract front. Shani's dropped out the screen, he'll be back in a second. So, where do we go on to start? Well, let's start with these friendies that we had today. So, Liverpool had these friendies. Started with Sevilla, half-twelf, half-twelf today. And apparently, it was picked for half-twelf, because Liverpool player half-twelf next week, and Slott wanted to get them into this half-twelf group. Apparently, I don't know if I've ever laid that, but that's what I'm saying. And Shani, we'll talk about the second friend in a little bit, but the fourth one, you know, you see a very strong soil in Liverpool. A couple of surprises for me, maybe not who's not in the team, but not even in the squad, I left for the second game. It's McCallister, it's Sobbersloy, with Graven Birch in midfield. You see Salah and Diaz, each sort of Jotte. You see Van Dyke, so he quants it. Trent comes back in, Costas is left back, and you have Alice in the Carson goal. And it's a run-out, it's minutes, don't get injured, all that sort of stuff. But we always say that kind of game before the season starts is the one where, you know, you start to see what way you might pick a team. And very strong, he went, I have to say, fourth half in particular. Very impressed by what Liverpool were doing. It was a mixture for me of what he's done in pre-season, and he went back to a little bit of the club stuff with the inverted stuff, and that was really impressed with the way we passed around when we were patient, and then we were kind of the one we needed to be. Yeah, yeah, I agree with what you said. It was one of those things when, sorry, I'm coming a bit of a mirror here. Yeah, so I'm saying they're getting fear back down. Maybe you're clicking on the table or clicking a pen or a nail clip, or something, it could be anything. Yeah, Chinese aid, he's doing. Anyway, we ran. Now, I was earlier in the day when I was waiting for the game to come on, and then I checked Instagram, and I seen the line up. So an hour actually before the game. And when I seen the line up an hour before the game, I was thinking to myself, yeah, look, that's probably what the team is going to look on Saturday. So, yeah, once I seen that line up, then I was kind of, then I started to kind of get a little bit of excited about what we were going to see, because to be honest with you guys, regardless of all the noise and everything going on off the pitch, I think Liverpool have been seriously impressive in what's gone on, on the pitch since the pre-season started to be honest with you. I think to spend some absolutely excellent performances. And like you said, the first half of the day, we've seen some absolutely centre-laying stuff from Liverpool, and I know we've got two goals in particular. And you could see exactly which players were driving in the season now or two early days. But I have to say, very, very impressed by what I saw today. I didn't see any of the second game, but definitely the fourth game answer there. Control, aggressive in attack, aggressive in the balls being torn down over, ball retention, Alisson's distribution, grabbing bags, grabbing, just grabbing bags all around game. Mow's talent, like looking like he's a 28-year-old mow again. And honest to God, he was delighted with the performance. And genuinely, like, you know me, guys, we've been going to sign for the last boy look. I'm not really, I'm not really into the football. I'm not really ready, I'm absolutely buzzing now for Saturday, because it's almost as though just some of the football and the fourth types that in the fourth game is absolutely electric. The thing for me, what it was, when I was watching it, what impressed me most, he wants everything to be perfect. He wants the straw passes to be perfect. He wants them to go along when they need to. He wants them to switch the ball. He wants, he doesn't want us to be one-dimensional, like they just pass the ball around. A bit like Roy Evans's team in around 1994, where, like, honestly, Shawnee in 1994, Liverpool had 70% of the ball and went fucking nowhere. We just passed it for the sake of passing. Jamie Redknap and the lads, right? But what impressed me most was, they know there are still teething problems, but what they're doing is they're making up with these teething problems by walking so fucking hard to get the ball back. And that's not a new thing, club's team used to do. But what they're doing is the force, instead of going after a team and allowing them to try and move up the pitch, they're actually going after teams and forcing them back, constantly, likely, your only option is to go back here. And what we want you to do is we want you to go back and try something into midfield or go along and we'll trust our centre backs and midfielders to sweep that up and we go again. That was really impressive from them. You know, and the walk rate that's there, I know it's preseason, but that's coming back to fitness, a couple of players there today, haven't played enough, a lot of football in preseason. You know, they did play in the Cup of America and McAllister. You've got Diaz, you know, Jot has done a little bit in America, but just the way they walked so hard, and it seems to be, if we lose it, we go after it, but we in no way are there, they'll play forward. It's simply not enough. You have to go backwards, and then we'll fucking deal with you from there. Can I talk about the goal for Diaz? I just want to have to get it out. The goal for Diaz is to make it trina. This is actually a bleeding computer game glitch now. Play to the keeper, draw them in and not draw the forwards in. You're making the midfield feel and push up a bit, thinking we might have a chance. Oh, they're on, yeah. And then it's straight over the back of them. Ma, you just be as strong as you can and get any touch on the ball, and then we'll have someone following you up and we kill them. And we've seen that a couple of times from them. When other teams are looking at us, they're thinking of those pass the ball around, Johnny. At the back, can we get at them, can we? But they have to be thinking that we can't fucking push this, because they're doing this meal where it's like bang, bang, bang, and they're literally chewing up. They've traveled 100 meters and in three passes. It's nice to see that. That's parents. That was really nice to see. Yeah, midfielders run and pass forward. midfield, like something that you did not see on the club because, you know what? I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to compare this to the way we used to play football. Like, I think we should just focus on the way it is going forward. But yeah, it's the fastest to the game that we haven't really seen in the long time. And you need to think about it as well. Like for large parts, before the toward goal, like Severe were in the loud block. Like, and you can even hear the lads in the commentary. No matter how bad the blade in the audio was in the commentary. Yeah, you can hear the lads in the commentary time. Liverpool are going to have to deal with this quite a lot this season, with teams putting men behind the ball. It was like we set the trap for them. And they were like, okay, press up there. I'm going to push up and look what's the other thing on the day. Wallace is not going to cut through here because his pass is short every time. Switch the rope goes long. Lovely whole other play from Jotty. Jotty sets Salah. Salah plays the true ball. Into a true ball. Into Sabah's loy. Sabah's loy. Powerful run and sets pulls it back across to Dias. And I think we have a chance very similar, where Mo can just pull it across the Jotty as well. So again, it's patterns and it's like that's all I really look on for. Like when you've a manager who you've been under for years in the pre-season game, you're always thinking to yourself, look, all that really looking at is, oh, it's that a new sign in the door. How's he doing? A few youngsters coming up, hell, we playing. But when a new manager comes in, I think you're calling it, your Mo, you grow out of noise that a little bit more, because you want to see exactly what he's trying to do. It's very clear now, like before our body being kicked, competitive boys, exactly what slot, sorry, slot. If Freudian slipped it, it's like once everyone to do. Everyone is aware of that job. That is so fucking important, that you need like that, a kind of stress-held important that is for the new coach that have the boy in from every single player, where a lot of those in the squad haven't done and won a lot. Some of them won a dollar really for the club. It's huge that he's got a boy in early. Now, it's early dogs and everything's going well at the moment. I'm sure there will be a few applicants knocked out and people upset along the way. But that is just part of being in the transition. But I have to say that the early science of what's going on the pitch, like for me, I've enjoyed it so much, whereas I thought I wouldn't have any investment in these preseason games, but watching that today, like I genuinely enjoyed it, like some of the football was like a fucking unbelievable. I'm still getting the moments of magic, like the four-scale football, the movement, the passing, the patience, the diligence to do that walk when they've lost the ball, the ball retention, which is something I'm huge on and just in football in general, I think. Something we try to deal majorly on that club was, I think, sometimes you just didn't look after the ball enough. And to be honest with you, or you're seeing a little bit of the second game and you can tell, boy, some of the players who could possibly be on the fringes are in for the shock because you can't treat the ball like a bomb in this system. It's just not going to happen. You've got to be on jobs, so I have to be honest. And I'm absolutely focused on posing for him to switch away next Saturday, genuinely. I'm dying for the league to start now because, honestly, that's the, I can't wait for it. I really, really can't keep, how are you? Good, yeah, I'm good. Can I ask you, just on the selections today, and maybe I mean, reading too much into this, but, you know, Alison comes back in, but again, Kwanter, not male from the Roy. That's his position. And he's able to van Dijk. Trent goes in a Roy back. Simica's interesting. He stays are left back because Robertson hasn't done enough. Hasn't played any football. You know, and then you look at midfield. McAllister hasn't played in the preseason. Sabo's lawyers played a lot. Gravenberg has played a bit. And then Diaz wasn't played any straight back in again. And it always is a pointer to the next week, but a couple of those players there's been an awful lot of talk around. You know, we have the Zuba Mendy stuff that we get onto in a bit. Zuba, where the Zuba Mendy if he comes in, how are they going to start Trent Bradley's being excellent? What's going to happen left back? There's still rumours going on there. And of course, everyone has Diaz at going out this summer. Like for his, for his roots, as I think he is slow. And for as much as he wants to see things going on, he seems very, I'm making a decision. I'm making a nail, these are my lads. Yeah, the team selection was interesting. I think it is a nod for next week. Absolutely, obviously only jumped in later. And I got the end of the show and what he was saying there. And the thing that stands out to me was about keeping the ball and not being able to bomb squad with the ball. And you could see the players that were in that second team. To me, Endo has no future at the club now. It's sort of clear, it's still really that he doesn't rain because he hasn't really figured much. Kanate and there was another one that was focused on. Kanate and Nunez, Darwin. At heart in the second game, the bits were seen. They weren't looking after the ball. And it could have got better as the game went down. It was only seen until half time. But it was telling that those three players are probably the worst, maybe least comfortable with the ball. Do you know what I mean? I think on the new one, as one though, I think a shot just really means that you have to be there. I'm not saying Nunez is bomb. No, no, no, because even if you could look at it, I was very surprised. Ellie wasn't in that kind of, even that AD and that played the force. I think it was sort of... Gravenberg, I think, has come out and maybe being a bit of a surprise package. I thought he was excellent. I think he's been very good in the last couple of games. To be honest, playing in that new system. I think that will be the team. Yeah, I think Kwanza is ahead of Kanate now. You see these reports that he's not happy with Kanate's training. You know, let's be honest, it's early doors, creases and things can change. Players can grow into it and things like that. But I think the team will be the team that started that game today. I can't see many if any changes. I don't think Robertson has enough minutes in his legs, maybe to claim a start. I think Semakas will start. I think the fun tree will be the fun tree. And we have Alison, we had Macalester, we had Diaz, we had Trent, we had Virgil all the only back getting into that force team. It was never going to be a case of Nunez Gakbaw in there as well. You know, so I wouldn't read too much into it, but certainly the end of Kanate, we've read a bit into it that he prefers all the lads that are more comfortable on the ball. And look, it's a little bit more brilliant. And look as I jumped in later when Shawnee was speaking and I heard him talking about patterns of playing, face of play. And I thought it was excellent today. And if that's what we have in store, people are saying you can't judge it on pre-season games. Now, but when we have poor pre-season, people are quick enough to judge on pre-season. So you have to balance it out. So we've had a good pre-season. We've played well, the team are adopting to a new system, a new store, a new manager. One of the things I felt tall was very interesting. It doesn't look to me like Salah and Diaz are starting as well as they have been. And I think Diaz's forced goal today was symptomatic of what we'd love to see Diaz doing more. But he was in a more central position. Maybe not central position, but he was starting coming. It's 15 yards in from the torch line rather than being on. Rather than getting caught in front of the torch line and ending up at the edge of the box, he's caught in front of the edge of the box and ended up in a little bit of the box here. And I think if that's something we see more of, we'd be a big fan of that. We think even with the looks of Salah and the other sort of, he's starting a bit more as a forward away from the torch line. That'll be a plus for him as well. I can see him getting goals and feeding some of my melted goals and setting the fourth half of the season. So we talked the pre-season and today, especially, I thought the team played well. I thought they're shaping up nicely, going into it. And with the addition, I think of a couple of players, still to come. For example, there were many good commands, but you can see where you want the silver menu. You can see where it fit into that team. And the type of player it is, takes care of the ball. Doesn't turn it all over much. It's aggressive wins the ball. It's a hand and glove type of player, going into that system if we get him over the line. But it'll be interesting to see what else he did, because we spoke earlier. I think there's a lot of pluses to be had at the moment. But there's a lot of questions to be asked about, the defense, next season, and what happens with them. So look, we'll take the passes. Can we talk about Mo? I was going to talk about Mo, but I was going to go, I was going to go into D'Ogo Jata. I told you what really had, right? I told you what really had. Yeah, I agree, but he was poor on the ball. Poor on the ball. And then he comes out with that finish. But again, I'm looking at a shot and thinking to myself, you know, the on the ball stuff, you know, we can walk on the patterns wherever I might be, but just keeping fit. Because I'm still to this, I'm telling you now, he's the best player in the football club. Yeah, I know. But he never has. No, I know. And listen, I don't know whether, I don't know whether if they put in them central and keeping them central, kind of say is going to be rather than tearing up in their wings, trying to fucking chase people and stuff. I don't know if that, but he was what he was walking really hard. But I just, my own thing on Jata today was, yeah, on the ball, he was probably a little bit above average, not great. Off the ball, walked really hard, he was constantly looking around to see where the way all the press is to make it right. And then he sticks that fucking thing in the top corner, it's stupid. But go on, talk to me about Mau, I'm interested. Yeah, Genoa, I'm doing a 180 a mile in terms of how I feel about where we should go in the future. And I think we have to give him a day. We have to give him a day. I don't know what the story is. It's like he drank the fucking elixir of life when he went away. Like the last, since Mau came back from Afghan, I think everyone was gone. And everyone now is on a mile trailer. That like, all he was digging people out when they were getting on this back last year. But when the last six months of the season, there was like, if he wasn't giving your goals and assist, he was giving you an order. Whereas this preseason, it's the complete. And this is just like everything a type of noise is going on. It looks as sharp as he's ever been in terms of his milk, his pace. He's come back in the old man. And I think some players might feel a little bit, oh, clubs gone and this, that and your that. And then we energize others. And it looks like me that Salah is completely, completely re-energized. I know it's early doors and he always, always in Nick when he comes back. But he looks like a 28 year old again, in terms of the way he's moving around the pitch, the way he's picking passes, the way he's setting up chances. Like, honest to God God, like, if you get it, there was a massive situation and he's coming to the end of his contract and he's injured quite a lot. And he's in and out. But like, honest to God, how are you going to replace this fellow? If he goes, but I don't, and I don't care what age he is. I'm like, he's replacing that fellow. Replacing that fellow is you're making the best, probably the best ever 60 million pounds on you're ever going to make. Or you're going out and you're getting, I don't know of another player. Honestly, I don't know of another player on the planet that does what he does for Liverpool. And people would say, well, what are they, and what are they, and what are they? If you look at what more Salah does for Liverpool, right? He's creating so much. He scores. He's fucking, he's self, he's selfless, and what he's doing. Every facet of his game, he's a leader, right? There's loads of players out there that can skin a fellow, score a goal, cross a ball, but then a leader and he's a leader. Do you know what I mean? I stepped up on that aspect as well. He's literally taken, I think what he's done here is, I think he's, nearly the contract situation probably is like a way of a shoulders. What will be, will be, I'm focused on the contract for a year. I'm not going to go anywhere. If we take another year, great. If I don't, it's on our money terms at the end of the season and the club will be happy with what he's got for me. And it's just like he's gone on the pitch now and it's like, yeah, give it to me, I'll pass it back to you. I'll chase that fellow. I'll come in soil, I'll want to, I'll look to put you through, I'll look to fucking get a cross into, I'll look to score. Just every little bit of, it was game. And I know there's brilliant wingers out there and they do loads of stuff, but when you look at all the different bits, the age is that, the experience he has at Liverpool, it's so fucking hard to replace. It's, it's annoying, impossible, in my opinion. It's just so, like, it's so fucking good. And I'd be buying them up here on the island down and look, there's just not a chance that fellas go on Saudi Arabia. There's just not a chance. They, it's just not, I don't care what they pay. Next year, he's not even going, because he'll fancy himself to go somewhere and banging on girls for fun. You go PSG and playing champions, they accept. That's the way I just, he looks like the ultimate competitor and to see him back, like, he's a fucking joke. He doesn't get the respect for how good he is. If Mao was Brazilian, they'd literally be pointing him in the panty on the brakes. I think he's the, I think he's the only, I think he's become more of a playmaker in this team than an out and out attacker, right? And I think this is probably where he ends up getting the, the respect. Where, you know, he's the, how do I put this? A lot of people, when they watch Mount Salty, just think Ali pays in his goals and, you know, they want more creativity. You know, they start the way, we, we see the older players throughout the year and they're really creative, but they don't really do it. They're creative, they're, they're, they're, they're builders, creative players and people fall over them. I think people look at Salty, I don't even think Ali pays and he scores some goals and he gets, he gets penalties, but really is, he just, I actually think most Salty could go this season and score 20 in all competitions, would you be low over him, right? I could score 15 in all competitions, but get 24 of the 20 assists and people would give him more credit for that than 44 goals in his four season. Do you know what I'm trying to say? Because they'd be seeing, they'd feel like he's more rounded. He's such a fucking rounded footballer, but in the system that he was playing last season, they were putting him at Wythe and he was like really rewarding, and he'd be touching it with Diaz as well, really worried, where this one is like, um, it's, and, and Kev said so Maryle would spark me as well. He said, don't, he's not too worried over the number nine, so number nine is there to just arrive and, and, and finish and stuff like that. And his four year old team was very, very like that when you watch it. But when you, when you get, if you get more when you get Diaz, that little bit inside the pitch, but they're effective and they're, they're, they're playing, you know, in their, in their changing and stuff like that. I think you get more credit for that than he will for all the goals he scored. That's just where I am. And I'm okay with that because if he gets more credit, it means he's fucking blowing the leg up at him. I'm absolutely fine with that. Keith, you know, Lewis Diaz is the only one he haven't touched on. Tired a really good game. Doesn't start as well. Gets more involved, good goal. Like you said, coming from a position where he doesn't need four and five touches to get there. The choice you, it's actually on a one-touch bang, and he's really good at it. Um, and he's under the spotlight, isn't he? Because a lot of people have Lewis Diaz leaving Liverpool this summer. Yeah, we certainly did when we don't show up. Previously, we had him as one to go, but it was more so that I felt he was somebody that would maybe look to go. And at the age, when Michael Edwards was coming back into, not into the club necessarily, but his influence would be there. Um, in the background, with Richard Yale's, I felt, you know, what was age and his elbow and his, you know, he might be one that he looked to me over on and he wanted to me over on. And we've all set a piece about seeing your fucking Diaz as well. But I thought he was excellent today. I thought he looked sharp. As I said, I thought he was playing a little bit more in field. And maybe that was just me seeing a few things, and it wasn't the case. And he'd be playing it with, or just as I said, I find him frustrating when he's hugging the torch line on that side, because he's predictable. Similar to Maori, you know what they're going to do, and they're not, when they're cutting in, they're not really in the position to deal much. Whereas I found today, he sent you with the four skull. He was in the position that he could cut in and strike and score. And I thought that was, and it'd be interesting to see gakbo as well. And that's our day. If that is the case, I think it'd benefit him as well in order to cut in and chill. Um, but at the time he was very good. I thought the four skull was a little bit. I thought the second skull was a breakout. The milf, you know, if that's what we, if that's what we're going to see from live uphill, a happy day is because we've seen a similar toy, but all now a couple of times in preseason, where we're breaking fast and we're slipping in a chill ball, players are running, chill players are spawning. Yeah. Have your wood player getting in on the end of it. Um, This episode is brought to you by our good friends at NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.

And if a player like Diaz can hit the ground running, you know, if we can hit a run of farm, I think there is goals and we haven't seen it yet, but I do think he has the ability to get a good number of goals. He is getting compared with Sadio Mane, obviously, because he became Sadio Mane's replacement. I don't think he'll do rap because I don't think he's as, as real-less as Sadio Mane was. But that's what you see. If you bring him a 15 yards in from the soil line, then you have to start looking for them levels. That's more- Yeah, well, that's what I'm expecting. If we can do rap, or you think he can hit, many goals you get last year, and you got, I think you got more going on in the late. Or you think he could be looking at 20 other competition. And if you're getting 20 goals out with him, and you can nearly bank on 20 out of a mile, even if he's just having a- At high season. You know what I mean? If he's having an OKC, and you can nearly count on Salah, they hit 20. Then you're looking for the others to chip in, and I think I'm not jumping to defend, known as Bo, you know. If world players must score, the focus wouldn't have been on him as much. If the world players aren't scoring, then you're sent the fouls missing. Fucking servers are after servers, then the focus becomes on him as well. So we just think, does the real chance, if we can get a day as hitting a run from, hitting goals, playing well, I think it helps the attack, obviously. But it'll be interesting to see what happens. You know, look at that. I'll read into that, that will be just starting low end up next week. And I think he has a chance to go in and nail it down. But those other players, they're looking at that position. Cody Gaqbo will be sniffing around there. I think that looks his best position as well. I think for a holiday set in the Auros, that's his, you know, we've seen him playing many, many different roles. I think that looks his best soda. We'll be players that are looking to get in. So, you know, hopefully they're all hungry, and they all hit the ground woman. It'll be interesting to see how the players, you know, loin' out. What's art of hunger, will most of all have, if it's to be his last season. Or he'll be great with Sean. He'll be giving them a new contract. He'll be getting very little and they'll contract as well. But we're seeing stuff coming out about that earlier. But I just think that we can get this forward loin' from the very start in the ground, without all of the pressure being on Salata score. I think we could be in for a good season, but it's up to the players that they want to stand up. It was easy to, it was easy to go in and set that game because, you know, it's at a full-arm field. It's a lot for us to be here and stay. You got a great welcome. You know, the fans were up for it. They weren't, they weren't, they were excited. It was a really young crowd there as well, which was great, great to see and stuff like that. The second game was harder because it's, the place is empty. It's a very disjointed team that, you know, there's a lot of them in there that, you know, look, for me, Gagpo, Nunez, look like they haven't played an awful lot of football. And in a ground where it's empty and the intensity wasn't there, it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't great. And I wouldn't hold too much against a lot of them that were there. You know, it's just an awkward game to play. But again, it's more minutes and stuff like that. And, you know, no injuries, he's a big squad to look at for next week. It could be tough for them to pick 18 or 19, wherever it is. It would be a tough pick for them in fairness. So I'm not going to go too much into that game. You know, we'll, we'll, we'll see you next Saturday at about half 11, who he's picked. And then you'll start to get a feel of as to what way he's gone. But there's just quite a feel in that team. Or in that second 11 that played a half for it, which you'll probably see in the squad anyway. So there's one thing I want to say as well, before we do move off this. If you looked at his foreign order selections last year, there was a lot of change in, you know, so I think it won't be a case of, oh, if this is the team, it'll always be the team. I think he puts a lot of emphasis on workload and minutes. And isn't afraid to make big changes. Do you know what I mean? Like they, they'd have the Mexican story guard in some ways, they have the Japanese lad in some games. They'd have to go be tempered and we far and mid failed among them. That's another lad and someone else the next. I think there's a lot of, I think he does look at fitness and he looks at keeping them in maximum. What's the word? Maximum. I don't know. You know, they have to be physically, he doesn't want to put them in the red. Not a way of a club, they play them, they play them condition. There we go. Maximum condition. He wants to mean that and he wants, doesn't want them going into the red. So I'll be interested to see if there is a rotation which I think could benefit them. You know what I mean? But it's all new and I'm excited about what I was saying so far. You made. You made the point that the anointed game and I think it was, I can't remember. It was one of the players who basically came out and said, like, you're just drilling into us by playing games every three days. Like, just simple as that. We're setting up the season that we're playing games. Every three days, which is usually the case when you get to around October. Like, after that second international break, it's normally three games out of game every three days. So I think it's getting into that mindset, which like, when we see the players that he's letting go, would suggest that live uphill plan on doing a lot of walking the next 19 days. You know, in terms of ends and outs. So there is that as well. And it's going to be horses for horses. I'm going to make a shout out. All you have a feeling that in time, the front race is going to be the as Gagbao and Salih. That's the way I think he's going to go. I think he's going to go Gagbao two in the middle. I can take care of the ball. Yeah, because he can take care of the ball and go back to Kev's point, there's a year's bar on pretty much because like, yeah, man, him and his that was playing for PS off of Firenought. Absolutely brilliant on the ball, but Sludge job was just like, I'm just going to leave you in front of the goal. Not no further than the 18 yards. And it becomes his put that in the net there. And that's what he don't eat on so well. People give out, gave out about his name, go play, but he just left them as close to the goal as possible. I'm annoyed. I'm worried I played to get goals, which crapped on pretty much through his whole reign with Bobby in the middle. And so I can just stay until he gets, because I just, just as clinical don't get me wrong, I don't think we need it. That doesn't need to be stated. Darwin has a lot of work to do. I think he's going to find himself in this team or the left side. I don't know. And I'm not saying in some which one, I'm just telling you that his, I don't see him down the left at harvest. His technical capability and capacity is going to hinder him big time. I think in this, because it's just, it's not this methodical move the ball around, move your team around, keep the ball past the ball. To give it to a fella, he would like, I seen someone again, it's his force came back, I seen some of the hoyloids today and I'm like, yeah, but in fairness, I watched the whole game. Let's be honest, we've seen it. Yeah, now we watch the whole game and then we're going to be honest, we're going to be honest, we're going to be honest, we're going to be honest. I watch Darwin in this force game. But I come into him to his see on the hard way line. And live up all in all his pre seasons about getting your touch on the wall. And either getting into a player or keeping it and looking, looking at the pass and looking to get in behind it. And he tried to flick to the end or who they can get to. Then the ball went down the line and he, on the halfway line, and he burned the fella down the left wing, came in, saw it, and he had a good decent shot, keep her saved. He's off-soid for the goal, right? But if he's actually not there, he can't get near the ball. Ben Dauch should head the ball towards goal. He doesn't, he kind of gets caught in between both. And it's nearly back across goal, but looking looking at him, done goal, Darwin gets up and gets his foot to him and smashes it in the net. And he's off-soid, but people going off-soid, if he's actually on-soid, there's no way he's getting anywhere fucking near the ball. Because the defenders are four, six, seven yards out. He cannot physically get to the ball without being off-soid to be fair. And if he's not there, he just sails with the goal. I'm not talking about it. But the one that, the one that, not annoyed me, but he broke it and the ball was played to him. And all he had to do was take a touch and put it down the right wing. I think Dauch got it. And he took three or four touches, and then he stretched to get onto Gagba. And the thing last momentum. He walked hard, he made some good runs in behind. When Liverpool were on the edge of the box, he made some good movement. He cut a few runs back, but when anything I've found out I've watched, the big team with that center forward has to be. And I've watched loads of the goals now just to see. When you make, when the man is a, him and his, our matine, as Robert's name is the player, right, what are you doing? What are you doing all the time? I've said this a few times. If he makes a run from, say, the penalty spot, online with the penalty spot, and even attempts to go void, to run void off the ball, he's basically telling his, his wingers, that you go into that space so you can get a shot away. If he stays where he is, essentially, he's looking for his wingers to go. Boy, people are getting into his feet. And I am with Kevin this, because I think Giotto won't really hurt off the ball. We're on the ball. He probably doesn't need to get that involved, because we're overflowing in those positions where Diaz was getting, Salah was getting, and it would be more about a finisher. And that's where I think Giotto comes into it. That's where I think Gackpah might be left down, but I think Gackpah ends up challenging on the left with Diaz. I don't think he's seeing Newness down the left. I think he's going to end up with Giotto and Newness, and he's going to go up all to them and he's going to say, "Listen, just fucking put the ball in there." We'll make the chances. You put the ball in there and work hard, and I think we'll be all right. A big story, well, a big story. I think they come out to see if it was, regardless of the marriage of Andelique. The news is that he still hasn't been on for a contract with everybody. He's into his last year of his deal. We're going to read out some quotes that actually supplies us. It says, "The Liverpool captain was asked about his contract. Will he playfully grown at the raising of the subject? That's likely to become a recording team." He added, "There are no changes at the moment. He continued on positive and confident." Obviously, I think we should get some signings based on how long the season will go, but I think the club are walking behind the scenes, and I'm fully convinced, and I trust the club, that he will do the right thing for us and get the best possible squad in order to compete in every competition. They will remain in Queltero. I don't know if he said there's been no change. There are no changes at the moment on positive and confident, right? But at the age of Andelique hasn't been on for a contract. I'm on the 11th of August, and he's out of contract on the tour to the gym. The force of the giant recreates on your very fucking quick heat. The club captain. It's a precarious position. We've left ourselves in, and I'm not looking to blame anyone on this in particular, because I'm going to blame someone, and it's not going to be who people think. I'm not blaming you on the club, and I'm not blaming you on the club, but it has been a situation I live up everywhere. And lack of, or a clashing with the spawn directors. We haven't had a good, and this is on FSD, we haven't had a good spawn structure in there for the last couple of years, and how we've managed to let Virgil van Doik, Trent Sala, and Mo Sala, and fucking Trent Arnold get to this point now, is pretty scandalous, in my opinion. And if they're not going to renew them, say they're not going to renew them, if they're not going to renew, say they're not going to renew, we're going to start the season where we're three of our most important players, and one way or another, captain, voice captain, probably I better stop our player, going into a period where they can go for free, and so in for someone in four months. Now, that to me is scandalous that we've let it get to that. And like I said, FSD are the owners, but I think the uncertainty with the club hasn't helped it. There's no way the club brought in players last year, and now he was going to live. I think he decided after the summer, and then he's just more or less quick. And I think there's been a bit of showing the background there that's been, you know, Julian Ward leaving after six months or a year was was weird. And George Smackett coming in was just a stopgap, just to get players over the line, I think last summer. But how we've left it, that these lads are now in the home straight finishing their careers, whatever. And look, Salah and Mal, we've, I'd say we've got the best album, and I think there's more to come from both of them. But we've got their best years, but Trent, Alexander Allen, the scale star, he was 24, 26 years old. And I think he lives for free next summer. I think he walks next summer. I don't think he's showing a new contract. And I think he's going to walk. And that to me, how we've let that. And by the way, I'm not saying how we've let play with Trent. I think he's going to go to Madrid, and I can see a situation where I think I will walk from if he goes there and jump away ahead. Private doesn't. And you've got this Moica lounge showing where he wants to come back. We've been playing big money from healthy, healthy part selves in this position where this, you know, these players, this asset, 100 million pound player walk out of the club alone. It's been very poorly, poorly managed and operated by everybody, I think. And unless there's a big, the hey, Alexander Allen announced it next week, for before the start, there are three new renewals, four transfers in. I'm going to have a happy Floyd. It's going to hang over. Very good. You can get used to the questions. Mo better get used to them and transcend. You better get used to them. Because all people are going to ask is, what's the situation with the contract? What's the situation with the contract? I don't know what the solution will be. I don't know what the answer will be because. Or you don't think any of them are going to swing? Or I think the trade on my goal. Personally, more opinion. Or you think the trade I'm going to leave next summer for free? I think, well, when you see. I'm just saying something. Yeah. It's important to know that the new hierarchy are only in the door. And I know people are saying the priorities is that you can get someone to swing a contract at any time for bringing players in. You have a specific window to do that. And that is open till the start of September. I'd imagine that. I don't know if the way Paul Joyce has went with that headline. I think it's misleading. It's not what Van Duy said. He never said he hasn't been up for the contract. He just said nothing has changed at the moment. That could literally be a case where Richard Hughes, his girl's lads, are out straight amongst me, bollocks here. 20-year players in and out. We will deal with it when the time is right. The players have been around for far long enough. He's a captain. He knows himself. Or he fully agree with what he says in terms of needing players in. But I guarantee if you ask anybody, any member of staff at Liverpool include no hierarchy and they won't sign in after checks. They would agree that, yeah, of course we need bodies if we're going to compete. Football schedule is chucked. I just think that I think we will see I think Van Duy got signed. I do. And I'm hopeful now. So I absolutely now hope everything from Trent, boyfriend from me just seems off. His demeanor, his body language, his presence on social media is the only one I think of all the players has important. Anything Liverpool related up. He's whacked up a few stories. But he's not put on. You see boys pointing it up. That's the boss law. You go to be home. All this stuff. And I'm just being honest with you. I'm not one of these people trying to tell it to me. Fucking body language expert. But it doesn't take a genius to walk out. He's walking around like a bear with a star-ass. Yeah, dressed up like one of ladies. We've seen it. We've seen it. And look, I don't know whether there's a few things that I've pointed at. Like Edward's and he was just wailing the axe here and going. That regime was gone. And it's on. They were heavily enthralled to that lad from Valencia. So that would tell you that Alisson's not extending as well. Like Alisson's probably already been made of more voice based. So that even though that's who we're using our day in the morning, we get to that bridge. It's so hilarious. But I think the greatest thing can be walked out quite quickly. To be honest with you, I think the Maum can as well. Because I just. But I definitely feel like Ramadry would have done a job on Alexander Ryan. And the same way he's done one on Alfonso Davies. And I just. It's the mainer and it will be so disappointing to lose him in the same way. We lost McMahon and to be honest with you. Like I've talked about so many of these players leave and live uphill in the last couple of years, like saying the don't I was anything this time. You're double. I think Trent Alexander analogs live uphill. Let's see his spoken life because they've made him the player he is. At the end of the day, like they they've literally. They've known to them from young and they've protected him in times. When he probably didn't need protection when he wasn't getting it from the English media in terms of the last he was getting from. The fines the Floyd that so. Yeah, I do I I have a horrible feeling. And it's actually it's torn me against the masterly. I don't know why the user has genuinely I just. I just feel this and a copy. A copy fucking star I'm in it. He's hoping on talking to me how long he signs in a couple of weeks. But I'm just going on the optics and how I say. We always up the idea gap and I think he followed I didn't think he. I said if he hasn't signed a contract before. The whistle blowers in the force family and he came. He's out the gap and I. I'm Mark convinced now to never. To be honest with you. Yeah, you see. So my my team where it is and it's. Listen, we let's make it clear. We don't know whether the players are sitting there going. Not interested in the contract, right? We don't know if the club are sitting or the club or the players are sitting there going. Where is this new contract? And the club are going. Yeah, wait for it. Or we don't know if the club have made three offers. And the three boys aren't happy and the goal changes in place. We don't know that, right? We don't know any of it. I'm going to say that, right? My thing on them though is you said a ward there early on his optics. You've a new manager in place. And what you want to do is you want to make this as clean as you possibly can from coming in. Yeah, he'll want to get rid of some players. Yeah, he'd want to bring some in. But you want to make this as. You know, uneventful as possible with regards to the players that are currently there. So get them sorted. Now, we don't believe the football club, as a club want to lose regive and do it. Or Trent Alexander and I don't know, Trent could be asking for a loss of money and they're going, you're not fucking getting back. You know what I mean? Like Trent could be going, I want 350 grand a week and they're going, we don't pay anyone that simple as we pay more salad. But he's doing it for fucking six, seven years now. And he's like, you know, look at him. Um, my biggest, my biggest thing about this is, um, I feel sorry for Anna Slatner. And I think, I think the, you know, I think the, the sort of sympathy, more sympathy for him is going to grow as the days and weeks go on. Well, this continues to be an issue. You know, if you're going to be ruthless and you're going to go to a new regime, it's going to be, well, then be realistic. Come in with the fucking very stance. Anna, listen, these boys, these three are looking for fucking horrendous money. One of them's torty trade is brilliant. One of them torty, he's fucking brilliant. One of them 26. And we think he's just wants to, he's, he's given us this money, or this amount to fend us off so we can fuck off in a year. Oh, you don't know. But the club, for me, should have been just gone. Listen, we're going to sort this and we're putting that to the bed as early as we possibly can. In whatever way it goes. Soying, don't swing, whatever it goes. And it's going to ramp up on Anna's slot as this goes on. And Trent, like, already very different, though, he's kind of, you know, grown and not being asked these questions. But it's always going to be asked until it's sorted. He's going to be constantly, constantly, constantly asked. So what my thing is, I don't know what's going on within it. But for the sake of Anna's slot, in a new job, you know, new players around them, get it sorted. It's just less headaches to get out of the way, or having your way where they're trying to do this. And, you know what? It also makes it clearer for players that you're trying to bring in. Yeah, listen, Trent is staying, Van Doght staying, Sal is staying, because as much as we talk about Van Doght and fucking whoever may be sitting there going, well, we want to see what they're all about. You know, players coming in are probably going, "Hold on, what's going on with this?" But it's, I'm only coming into this and they're all going. You're not the sort of way. And I've seen people saying, you know, well, you know, Virgil wants to see what the owners are all about. If Virgil van Doght doesn't know what the owners are all about right now, he'll never know. Because they haven't fucking changed the single bit. You know what I mean? They run it as a self-sufficient entity, what the end they spend, and that's how it goes. So, I don't know. And just to touch on too, before we go, Shawn, you mentioned that, "Oh, keep on Valencia." The rumor is, "Grown again," the other people would saw in him in low on the mill for a year, possibly two. And that does tell you what the Allison stuff from whatever else was. And Bonkers said earlier, and I kept the bonkers, you see, because I'm sound. Red Bull Salzberg have stepped up to pursue a Liverpool midfield, Bobby Clark, with an offer of around 9.6 million euro, 8.2 million pounds. And actually said, on the Clark bid, however, this is from James Pierce, however, the latest bid fails, fall significantly short of Liverpool's valuation. And the discussions between the clubs are ongoing, Salzberg hope that the compromise can be achieved. Then you have to zoom in, the stuff that is coming out already is making his mind about, I don't know what the fuck's going on there. But, Shawn, I come to you for us, and then Keith, are you surprised by the clack on? And second question, this is who we're mending on. Is it dragging on that long? Or is it just because stuff was leaked on Tuesday, we feel that this is going on forever? On Clark, yeah, I am a little bit of Royce, to be honest with you. Sorry, I want to troll Cavaleo in the Cavaleo 20, possibly at the 27 million. I'm going to round off the fact that I see a lot of people are getting in forums, people are getting a little bit, they're getting a bit uncomfortable with the idea that Liverpool are letting young players go. A big change that's happened in football in more recent years, especially with big clubs, is that you don't realize that it's good having all these commercial sponsors and all these entities look nice and handy that. And however it is, pumping money into your club. Academy footballers are the lifeblood of every single top football club, and Keith, they help they operate in terms of that's where clubs make the biggest margins when that's honing on our players, to bring in players. So they're signing the Bobby Clark from Newcastle for 700k and then they're probably going to sell them for 12 to 18 million. Caa Vallejo comes in, they pay a trillion or three. I don't know how much it was in the year. 40 million. They're letting them go for 20. And that's what props up your business. That's what Man City have done, excellently. That like, well, sorry to the screen. If you look at exactly what they don't wear, academy players, that's how a lot of clubs operate. And that's what they, they boy them and build and bulk. They boy these lads and bulk, training their own, he comes in and the other lads, they send a half that we got from West Ham. They come in and we can pinch these for cheap now. We'll build them up and then we'll give them a few rounds for us team. And if it's like in the case of a trainer only, I know it's here he does, looks like he's going to be one who breaks through amazing into your force team. Then you're happy or a quanza, he'll breaks through and makes you into your force team. Or you send them out on a few rounds in the championship and then you go, bang, there you go. Look, there's the sweet spot. Perfect case toil him on. Like he's on, he's literally in the military round now in terms of the team. What are we going to deal with? Live up here, we're in a position now where they can probably fall, get 15 to 20 million for him. And that's the live growth. That's, that's where they make a lot of that money. That's where they make most of that money. And that's what's happening here. I think that when people see like, who is the assistant players for all these boys, he's the assistant who we're going to keep around as well. Like, sluts had very limited time with them. But I think he knows himself and his heart, their heart, how much gain to him and we're going to be able to give this kid. Yeah. I don't know. You think he's going to heavily rotate. People think he need more players to have he rotate. You actually don't watch it. No, you need 20. You need 22 squad members or, you know, 20 outfield players on the rotation. There is that damn 20 are absolutely quality. It's just, it's literally like... And it is less, it actually is less chance for the, for the... Yeah, exactly. And it's just, it's one of these things that I think is completely on state, like on the state in Fort Bala. How important that that market is of a move taking players in, building them up, and then it's an awkward good enough for you. It's kind of, it's just a mid-table championship player, or a mid-table Premier League player, mid-to-low table Premier League player, the championship player, and what exactly are we going to get? And what's the flip? And I think that's why that a dog as well, is an oil or pen dog. And for what it's worth, I wouldn't be selling them permanently. I'll be lounging them because I do think... Yeah. If he just loves it, he will be absolutely full, completely. But they're probably gone. They're crunching numbers, and they're gone. It's this fella ever going to be won't marred, and he is now with that little bit of hoipa, and we could go to Southampton, and end up back in fucking Aberdeen until years, or we could be going back to Southampton until years and listen, and he chants, "Look, you know what I mean? Come here, come here, come here." We put a clause in where we're going back in the next two years, right? Yeah, and that's, like, I think... So, I don't... I'm not really sweating it that much. I value... I didn't eat a decent pre-season, but look, what? It was never going to fail. It's not going to... It's toward... toward in the line, and maybe make 20 million. And people say, "I'm sell the boy..." "It's not sell the boy, it's just gone." "I have something that's probably won't marred, and it's never going to be won't." "No, why am I going to hold onto it?" Because footballers are like, "Yose cars." The value will... If they're not performing correct, the value just depreciates rapidly. And the thing is, it's always in six-month windows, because that's every time the window's up. So, come Christmas, you're probably only getting 12 for car value. You've only had to sit on the bench for four months, and playing a few car about cold games. You know, I think you just have to be... You just have to be clever with it. In terms of the over-mendy, I don't know how they have a meal done. To be honest with you, the last update I've seen and it was that the player had to be convinced, and the clubs are still in talks over the structure, like... Why have you been negotiating? And people are going to... It just has a release class player, like... Does not... Look, you don't want to be giving up 51 million in one window on a... You just don't. Like, playing a dream thing gives 50... I don't think... Bro, you see, I don't understand what this one is. Like, where are the clubs and negotiations over the structure of a player that hasn't made his mind up? That's what I don't get. And I'm... You see, my thing here is... My thing here is that... That thing from... That thing from... Joyce breaks last week. And we've heard every fucking time they can hear you throughout our fucking table in the morning, as to what's happening. Fellas in Portugal, fellas in Germany, now what's going on, fellas in Blaine in Bali Fair, now what's going on. You know, and it's all this sort of stuff, right? My... My thing on it right now is, is that... I think Liverpool dropped that. Right? And it's going to go down and choose to explore on the possibility, right? I would say... I would actually argue now at this stage. They've gone there, and I think they've agreed with the player. And I think it's... And all this fucking... All this nonsense of, you know, he's making his mind up. They're trying to tell him the mountains are lovely and so is the field. You know, all this sort of fucking shit, right? Like, honestly... I can't... I couldn't see Liverpool sitting around for four or four days. Trying to convince a fella to sign for them. I just can't see it. Because straight away, I've only wanted you to come and walk for me. And I said, "Do you want to walk for me?" "I love you. Tree time is the money I'm going to go on." I don't know, like... Because like, that bus, I have to get two buses and... You know, all this sort of shit, whatever it is. After three or four days, I'm going on, "But you fuck up. You clearly don't want to walk for me." Do you know what I mean? So, I don't know where... I don't know. Is it a case just... Pushing through the fucking... Bullshit. I don't know. And again... We go almost a week to actually don't know. Yeah, I always said during the week, I didn't think it had happened. But I kind of got into the idea that I think the longer it goes on, the more likely it is. Because how long does it tell? Like, what's he going to do very far off over the days? And then just one round and go... And if that does happen, let me tell you. That's fucking caused that point of the century, considering what happened last year. Because... That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It's like when it... Look, if all you have in a week, holidays, you'll have to do a handover and walk to the place. And he was picking up my job. There's no way there wasn't something in the handover. We know he'll transfer his walk, right? Transfer his nowadays walk where you go to a player, right? Or you go to a club and say, "We're interested in this player." Right? And they do, you say, "Well, look, we're interested in maybe the only deal, but you need to go and speak to him first." There's no way that a couple have spent so many days... Trying to convince him. And... And trying to... Why would you be negotiating the price or something? When you don't know if the player is even going to come to a club. Yeah, no, I don't... Look, I'm gonna be the eternal optimist here. All you just have, all you think, the feelings, the clubs are just crunching down about how it's going to be paid. And once that's sorted, it'll go through. That's me, help. Because when you read a lot of the local stuff, because they're the most loyal journalists in Spain when you're reading... There's no point reading market or AS&M because they're the propaganda machine for the big clubs. But when you read into like... That's... A lot... Essentially, you're up a lot of that journalism is still a loyal way. Like, for example, you have the talent echo here. If you wanted to know that you'd read that. And they'd have... How did they end up? Yeah, like... Those little journalists in that area of Spain are also saying the same thing, basically, that the club are basically resigned to zoom them in and become. And it is like a matter of time. And then you get people like throwing around. Like, a man, Jerry Moreno, who has no fucking clue. And, like, a gop choice. Like, you know, like... Like, you said, guys, there's no... Like, it's... It's tough, okay. It comes out in increments. And then whatever's said, we're in between. That is like, Chinese whispers. And it just grows legs. And it could go anywhere. Oi, the more it goes on, I am a little bit more relaxed about it. And the fact, like, it's starting to annoy me because we have a walk to deal with him. So, if he's not fucking common, move on. Because at the end of the day, like, let's be honest, like... It's over, man. Don't get me wrong. Seals this system perfectly and I'll be way better at players than him. I've torn down, live uphill. And I'll just... Another point, the one I make on the people's hand just pay the release class. Ram Madrid didn't pay 51 million up front. For Joe Bellingham. You know, like, that's the importance here to deal with these days. That it's always... You can deal more... If we could deal more in this window, if we get this one right. And I mean, we're getting this one right. I mean, not committing to 51 million of the release class for a player. Like, I just... I find I had to believe that... Because apparently the talks were going on the last two weeks. So, I find I had to believe that years... It's pointing that much to him into this. Into a fella sitting in his gaff going, I don't know yet. Yeah, I don't know yet. It's just not me to do it. Like, go for example, imagine you wanted a fella to do a podcast and you're asking about it a week. And he's like, "Oh, I don't know. You just get a pain. You have bollocks." I was just going, man. If you wanted to do it, then... Two messages and I'll get a pain. You have bollocks. Yeah, you too. So, and... Yeah, look. Go with what the logo is doing in the Spain. So, it's saying because the focus in England haven't got a clue. Because they're not getting out from Liverpool. And I imagine that anything that the boys in San Sebastian are getting directly from the club. And for me, what they're saying there is that they are more or less resigned to losing the player. And they're looking... They're looking to get their man Peppa Liu from Em. Valentia? From Valentia. He was a really good player. He was... He'll... Let me tell you, it's probably the biggest scumbag in the history of football. They were reading that, like, you think transpired? Potentially bad. Why don't you see with that fella though? So, in the life throwing contract with Valentia's Roy from San Tanhan, that in the transfer request to Simon Valentia in the fourth window possible. So, he's absolutely hated it. He's adorable. Yeah, look into it. It's actually a really... It's a good story. But, yeah. Let's see. I just hope it's... We may... Look, we should be still in business here. So, what is here with Mendi as well? I want to know about a left pack. And I want to know about a centre pack. And I want to know about potential attack. I have car values that I want to doubt. So, there's work to do. Yeah. I think so. Keith? Well, I think they're doing that work in the background. If we believe the mamma chili links, then that tells us that they're walking on that in the background. Is that more stuff happening than I think that is? Can you give me a pinion on all that stuff as well? Yeah, yeah. So, we're going to... Bobby Clark. You feel your boots. Bobby Clark. I think the car value of the deal was interesting because it looks like we've absolutely got the fucking... last dropout with that. We've got a great place. And we've put in clauses and salons and all that sort of stuff. Which was... Which was sort of instrumental of Edwards when he was running the show. And as I said, he's not... Moigle Edwards isn't walking far enough. He's walking far F.S.J. But Richard Joe's reporting to him. So, I would imagine it's going to be on that line. So, I think he got a good deal for Bobby Clark. Yeah, me over man. Yeah, Moig put a boy back in and see how it goes. It's a great place from the go. Salzpo walk on there. Pep Londers. The Londers. Pep Londers. I think he will flourish there. And it'll be interesting to see if Bobby will do. But any sort of boy back. When you're selling these young players as well, and you're getting good money for them, look at Chelsea. Mansey. They're selling them. And they're selling absolute bleeding now. Works for 20 and 24 to 40 million. They're getting near that him. And we haven't been doing it. So, you can look at both ways. If they're not going to break into the team, you sell them. And you use them as profit. And that's... Nobody likes that soy in the business or football, but it's the way it is. Let's be honest about it. With Zuba Mendi. Oi said, Joe Ranoita. Zuba Mendi, I think, will happen. And I agree with what his thoughts are. They said, the longer it's going on there, that it looks. If it wasn't going to happen, I think it would be dead in the water by now. I think Levapil have convinced him to come. I think, saucy at that day, throwing probably a little emotional hammer on him this day. I think Levapil are just letting it play out. People are saying, "I'll Levapil need to walk away. I need to put pressure, tell them, give them an ultimate. I'll show you Levapil won't do that." I think they're happy that they have the player, and they're just going to let him play. And I think he will be announced within a week for a very, very shiny, 'cause it's all that stuff to be done. Oi'd be looking at a left-back center by Corivrid, if possible, if he can get someone that does both of them, that's the ideal player Oi'd be looking at. And then if you get a word for it, I don't think we've too much to do. But we do need to get a regular and they get them done. You know, we do need to get them, and the keeper. It's very interesting that this one is coming out with one that has a lot of legs on it, because nobody's seeing the end of Alison Buchani touched on earlier. It could be a case that either Levapil have said he made it clear that they won't be renewing him, or he's made it clear that he's not going to be staying on, but it looks like they're being proactive to try and get somebody who could be best in class as a replacement. So that's an interesting move, which don't know what way it's going to go. These things, you look at Conor Gallagher, the only guy he's been availed, he has left him on dreads. Some of these transfers don't take a long time to happen. See how man felt true to know that Ora fell at the Spanish club. Going to Chelsea. To go with the Chelsea. Yeah, that's a collapse in that deal. That's easy. Let's go forward, isn't it? Yeah, so yeah, we tried for Oliver a lot. Chelsea are after a while. He's showing the goalkeeper with a $20 million there, and I swear to god, if I started stacking shelves as far, he wouldn't look at all plays. 43 players on the books. And come here, rumbly. That's what some of the fans actually want. It's just madness in the window. Yeah, I know. I saw some of that saying that. It should be like, you know what? Yeah, but some of that average, it's like, you know, when it comes down to the, when all said and done, regardless, he was in charge of the football club. At the back end of the last season, we were saying to ourselves, "We probably need a midfielder, "and the back can possibly be a forward." We all said, you know, the sort of way. It got heightened in midfield with regards to the way he's playing. And there was just, he's a player for certain situations in certain games. But that's really, that's really fast because we're coming here. And so I think the silver man, the one is coy. It needs to be done. It's simple as that. It needs to be done. I think if you look at the trader in midfield there today, and you're out early, and you're out maybe Jones in, and you're out of a silver man, the only thing given noise mixed there of whatever is six, seven players, that if he's going to rotate, they're good, you know, the sort of way. But for me, just, the silver man, the thing is just, is a bit mad. You know, it's a bit mad. If they're in there too, there's talking to them, they're going to go on. Yeah, okay. If they're there two weeks, that's not a fucking hope. And hell, it's about the player making the decision. It's just not. It's impossible. There's no way Liverpool are going in there for two weeks. I mean, listen, you have two weeks to make your mind up. There's not a fucking hope. They've gone in there, and they've made the, I'd say the players went, yes, no problem. Okay, let's structure. Maybe give us a chance to get some players in. Maybe, you know, if they go user talk to me. And so that's where I am on silver man. Let's see what happens. But I agree with you. I think you should be walking in the background. I don't like, if this is who amending, if this is who amending one runs till, you know, the 15 and 16th of August, which is, which is four days away now at this stage. So I don't want to run away at that. But if it runs to that, Liverpool campus when I'm going, I have a look at what's the 16th of August by the time we got that one. Done, done, done. You know, they should be looking at more. And, you know, there's little talent swings there. You know, Joe Gomez has put into it. Joe Gomez comes out for. You know, does he not come on today? Don't think he came on the second day. No, I think he came on. Did he? He came on for a van de Wieck. Yeah. If I'm with a 20th to go. And that's how it's used to be. Fucking mind there. And. Oh, sorry. He didn't play a time the second game. No, no, no. But he comes out for 20 minutes there and not Phillips is staying in the second game. And they're coming on. That's a fucking weird one. Now again, Joe Gomez only back from the orders, but don't know. Not it. So it's a bit of a model there. And, um, you know, it's, it's mad. Um, bonkers. I'm not reading those tweets from Fabrizio Romano. Was your fuck off? No. Um, so yeah, look, at the end of the day, Liverpool have got a walk to do. Um, they all got a walk to do. The Zuberman, you think you'd like to see. Bonkers, you're there. Yeah. They'd like to, they'd like to, you'd like to see that toy. You know, he's losing quickly. And then maybe one or two coming back in, but. I don't know. It's, it's them two games that have come to trial me that regards to who plays and who didn't, who started and who didn't, and which game someone ran and which same, some games others were in. So it's a bit of one of them. Um, it's one of those for me. Anyway, um, before we go, there's loads watching this fucking dog. Um, we're going to get loads of complaints now, are we? Um, before we go, in the description is. Leave the dog, tell him bonkers the fuck off. Yeah. Um, in the description, you have the fancy football. Is all tell me is that there's a fancy football on brilliant data. I win all the leagues and in every year. Well, let's see that about that. And because in the description, is a link to our fancy football Premier League. It's 20 euros to enter. Ten of that goes to charity, which is the Laura Lynn Hospice. Ten of it goes into the projects part. It's a winner takes all events. So we get a hundred people. It's a thousand of the parties. No four seconds or you win. What to do is go to revenue. Um, does the link there to go get the revenue? You pay your 20 quid. Well, you're paying it. Leave a note in the payment of your email address and your team name. I'm going to get to the field. He'll see that. And then he'll email you the league. And he will email you the call. A few people have sent the via app or pay. Um, true revenue. But there is a little function there where you can leave a note. Where every payment you send. Leave the note. It's 20 quid. I think we've, I think the price was up to 200 quid already. So 20 people are in. It's 20 quid over the year. You pick your team. End of the season. No answer about the winner gets the law. Um, so as I said, there's 100 people in here getting a grant. So let's see how good is really here. Um, and our charity stuff is there for fans apart from field banks and the loy house. The goal for me is there as well. And then if you want to donate to them, you absolutely can. Um, fans of art and field banks were back out and I'm feel today, which was great to see. And then, like I said, the loy house walks throughout the year helping people in Dublin and the surrounding areas. And that are struggling to make ends me from one end of the day to the year. Kate, anything else before we go? Not all good. You're happy? Yeah. I went to, went to Shama Bravo as much. You know, brought the young Phil electronic element, the leg of Ireland. Yeah. Said it's a last trip. I don't think he'd be back. An awful effort against Robert. You know, he was amazing. Yeah. It was, it was. Shani, anything else before we go? Yeah. Just want to wish me out. You know, I'll join a play. The bottom of the screen, the car, Mikos and Carla. Happy birthday. Yeah. Not many people can't do. I don't think to be honest with you, Taki, Taki, Taki's are there. Sorry, we're inverted here. I'm like, I'm like a friend. So. You are probably 100. Him. That's our friend. That's our friend, Carla. It's his, it's been his, it's been his wish. He looks like Dan McGallinger. And it's been his wish for years to be on the big screen. So they are. We're going to do a wreck. You're putting our six years tied to Carla. You're on the big screen now. Yeah. We're going to do a ref watch out. He's not in the backpack for a boat. It's just going to be your trade. Just roaring at him. Just roaring at him for an hour. Just saying my voice. May as to Carla. Because he is a ref. Just fuck, Clara. Oh, he is a ref, yeah. Carla is a ref. Yeah. Listen to me, I'm a Galaga. I'm a Galaga. He is a ref. Yeah. He's the full package of that Carla. Fair play. Yeah. I'm going away. Happy birthday. Fuck Carla. Yeah, so leave your comments for Carla. Happy birthday, Carla. Everybody say happy birthday to Carla in the loyal chap before we live. I'm in the comments as well. Going away with Carla in two weeks for his birthday as well. And so that'll be a lovely, lovely time. Roy, that has been the talking copy for tonight. During the week we'll have as many, as many shows as we possibly can. Some of them are free like this. Some of our members are only, some of them are free to watch. But only members can comment and stuff like that. All available for download. And the season starts next Saturday. And we've four of them, four of them are on screen next Saturday. At 2.44, after this was first. They've got a fair play to the post match team. They're all bang up for it. But it's week one. Our boy, we treated, we look glad. Listen, I'm fucking going. Stop annoying me. But then there is four of them. Fair play to them next Saturday. And as many shows we can. During the week transfers, build up the Ipswich. All that sort of stuff. So yeah. There you go. Chris is happy 70th birthday, Carla. Nice Chris. 52 years of age. And he says happy birthday, Carla. It's Carla with a K. Just to let you know. Carla the ref is a great show here. Carla the ref from Graham Smith, yeah. Happy birthday, Carla the ref. Isn't he the image of the Ama Gallagher? I tell you I want you to look at the Ama Gallagher, right? They're actually seeing a picture of Monday. And I swore the lads were at the photo, shot the dab of Gallagher's head on to Carla. Bro, it was just still Carla. It was the best thing ever. But right, you have to go. Yeah, I've not known something. I was giving out his belt again in the radio over at the holidays of the day. No, I'm not. That's annoying me since I'm in the top, top farm. That's being talked in a bit. What? That's cool. That's not being annoying. I really got on me believe. I'm getting into that. I just mean the same to Ari. Yeah. Can I suggest if we saw in the event if we wanted any showers on it? Because we've told him enough on him already. Yeah, we just do. We just do it for even a show. Just saying we saw it. No, we've got a flag on the point. If he saw it, then he plays against Brent. I'm not going to slag him. Yeah, I'm going to cut. I'm going to cut and then Spanish. I'm going to have my views. I'm going to have a little hour. Wait a minute. I'm trying to make it. I'm trying to stand the Spanish myself. When I say land, I'm just putting random comments into Google. Spanish, the English. It's the fucking, it's the bizzle. Really? I'm going. Good luck. Talk to you in a bit. I'll run out.
