That Raheem Sterling STATEMENT & Troy Deeney On Where Ivan Toney Will Go Next! | TFFI S3 Ep1

The Intro welcome to the football fill in we have got a belter of an episode for you today I'm joined by Troy Dei and super Dave Watson it might be a new Premier League season but it's same old same old from where I'm sitting Man City Arsenal and Liverpool all winning and guess what referees are still having a stinker so football filling let's go [Music] F come to you first is it more of the same from City yeah it was a little bit to be fair um Chelsea they kind of put up a fight but it's first day of the season it's kind of like the bare minimum really um but yeah it was never really in doubt from from Man City they just look comfortable composed and I know a lot of people say that they start slow and it always takes them a few months to really get going but um yeah if that's a sort of half-baked Man City then the League's in trouble this season as per usual what' you reckon Troy are they are Arsenal going to contend with them this year or is it going to be what was it five in a row six in a row it' be five won't it I saw um I went I worked at Arsenal I worked for T Sports I was at the game they weren't they weren't fully firing but I think that's more cuz wolves and Gaza set up to make it a crappy game but when I saw City the the thing I really liked with City it was not only the bench was the joke but the way that they played was a bit more like right we know we're not firing we're not at it so they dropped off a little bit they weren't pressing everywhere now we're kind of counterattacking and that's scarier than the fact that they could dominate a team then go you know what we're not that great actually at the minute so let's sit back and Counterattack and if they had got it right with dku on maybe four or five occasions that could have been five or six I agree with Troy that's the thing there is that's not the way that Man City play it's not um but because it's early in the season and the fitness levels probably aren't still where everybody wants it to be they decided to just sort of sit off a little bit but still even then what didn't they they look comfy and they looked like they were the only team that were going to go and win it yeah look I I think that's where this guy is at a different level to all the other managers because he knows where their players are at and he's happy to sit off we're not quite at it but I'll tell you what out of all them Premier League fixtures this weekend that's probably where Man City wanted to start to be fair because Chelsea I I think the whole thing with that football club is disastrous to be honest with you and I think City could change the tactics they' played him in pres season only two or three weeks before Guardiola knows what to expect even though they're at home Chelsea they couldn't they can't get a Gallop going you know what I mean yeah yeah absolutely I want to talk in a minute right I want to talk about the um Raheem Sterling statement is pathetic by the way um but as a player right Troy as an ex player player ex player unemployed if say if somebody gave you a nine-year contract right at 21 years old genuinely like let's talk about the real kind of like how this works somebody gives you nyear contract that's that's not a good thing no you're getting the cigars out inant you are aren't you yeah I think especially at 21 you you don't really know yourself you don't really know what you want it's all it's all a dream isn't it you're like I want to play in the Prem or I want to win the Prem depending on what level you're at I don't want to go Champions League I don't want to get International and then hopefully the money all comes at the end of it now it's the other way all the money comes there the security comes well 9 years yeah that's how you're going to go [ __ ] it then what's the point I'll just keep crafting and even if you are let's say like a Jude a top level Pro you will lose a little bit of the intensity because money is is something that we're all thriving for no matter what no matter what business you're in so once that's secure and taken off you might lose 5% of your game it's massive though isn't it and yeah because if you if you sign for a club obviously and play well you know you're going to get rewarded and there's going to be a new contract if you do really well nine years on good wedge really good wedge I think the problem as well when it's like Chelsea when everyone's getting six seven eight nine year deals you just there's like five players in your position so you don't even feel like you're the man yeah do you get what I mean it's just like oh this is what everyone does so if I'm not playing like who cares do you remember aubame used to do it years ago he used to get down to like the last year or two of his contracts sign a new five really are then and then the cigar came out again yeah you mean um adab well that wasn't he to the last six months yeah I'll try now yeah don't mind what about the size of the squad so so I think they've got 42 on the website seven of which are goalkeepers and um we've talked a lot in the past about goalkeepers training and if you've got a squad or three or four goali Le what what does training look like Ben Chelsea have 6 GK’s! for let's say that you can't have seven goals what does training look like for five you can't have seven you can't five honestly like we we would train with three goalkeepers normally you train with three goalkeepers three first team goalkeepers even when you had the fourth I used to hate it with four I did I used to hate it four it took too long the Rhythm yeah the Rhythm it takes too long in between sets you don't get to catch enough ball so three was probably a perfect number for me they've got seven and they're all first team goalkeepers so they're going to have they must have different training groups right what well they must have or or is uh obviously the the goalie coach has got to get some help because I think ever is the main man at that time and you've certainly got an array to choose from he wants a decent service yeah and one in seven reps is not not decent it's it's not he can't be ready to join in the first team training when you've got seven you'd have to be out there at 6:00 in the morning to be ready so I think the group must be split but that then causes a little bit of animosity just within your own group you know what I mean so I don't think anything that Chelsea do in terms of the numbers makes things easier because even 42 players for the manager and the coaches it's just too many to be able to do things that you need to do you must have so many members of Staff because the the pitches are all full they all your players and you can't get the even if you want 22 together you've still got another 22 players not not not on your main field so imagine how do you get continuity I don't even see how you can do it you could have right in pre season you could have a round robin yeah of four teams of 11 incredible and you still got four goal he still twilling the GS wait we had it at Watford the first year the year the year I came out of jail there was I remember I came on to training and there was 46 players so there was an 11v 11 on the main pitch the gaffo at the time was working with the 11 that were going to play the weekend and there was 11 injured and then I come I come out like I was like f going be thereason tournament with yourself that's what I'm saying but they're kind of I don't really know all the ins and outs and obviously I work with Simon so he tells me a little bit more about the ffp and all of that but they're getting to a point where they're going to have to start shipping people out very quickly for little to no money so but that's exactly that's the problem they're running into though they're trying to stop pile all these players on real long contracts because apparently they might have some sort of value they're young and they're promising but they're getting to the point where every other team looks at him and goes well you're desperate now you have to sell what's Conor Gallagher going for 30 mil M like he an English International player who done unbelievable for him any other team he would be going for 60 70 mil that's what he would be going for but because they know they're desperate now they're just going to cut it by half so they're killing themselves really let's go we got to talk about this uh Raheem Sterling talk about Raheem Sterling obviously we need to get stuck into that the one player obviously Man City signed a real real note svho yes he was tidy very good wasn't it how good did he look by the way yeah he was he was nice he I like the fact that he's How good is Savinho? just conf there was a little moment and like probably only weirdos like me noticed it but ball went out of play and he just controlled it on the side of his chest flicked it up and just grabbed it on his foot and passed it to uh what's his name the big a fellow the left back Spanish left back for harea harea passed it to him on the side of his foot and I was like oh my God who are we talking about here yeah the Brazilian guy yeah the ball went out of play went out of play and he still passed it back nicely he still pass it back nicely and I just thought oh you have a knob you're so good you're so good he looked like he played football as though it's Sunday morning when you were a kid growing up and you know what city paid good money for him but they're not g him a nine-year contract and like Chelsea did they only pay 30 though I think it might have been yeah 20 or 30 but why don't Chelsea signed for 20 and they always got the big money they've lost all that but City that's a real good signing yes he'll be earning fantastic wages but they're not giving him five six seven eighty year contracts ultimately the point w went back to at the and when you're very young money can make you very very soft unless you're in the top 1% that you fought all your life to get to that point and your nine-year contract's not your win and you want to go on and win Champions League the money is the byproduct the byct but arm is like that and the Chelsea culture isn't producing that no chance it's a payday that's what it's turning into isn't it razban Raheem Sterling come on you've got some views on this a I hate it I absolutely hate it we've all Lads all three of us played football and there's times where you're left out the squad and it's not nice you don't enjoy it you might get told the morning of the game you might get told an hour and a half before the game's about to get told you might not even get told but it's part of being a footballer yeah it's part of life that's how it goes you just deal with it you get into the training pitch on Monday you try and work even harder get your head down and show everybody that you should be in this squad what Raheem Sterling and his team have done is put out a statement um and this is the part of it that really makes me actually the part of it that I'm going to read out is end bit of the statement That Raheem Sterling statement… um and it's disgusting is as a camp we have always had a positive dialogue with and Assurance from Chelsea FC in relation to raheem's Future at the club so we look forward to gaining Clarity on this situation until then we'll continue to support raheem's desire to start the new season positively what the heck is this all about his Camp my Camp myam so Troy why why have we all gone to me cuz I never had to come with the camp that's not going out without rahee say so is it uh you would say you'd like to say no it depends if he's handed full control over to them to do it but I would say I'd Hazard a guess that he's not um I Would Sterling know about the statement? think it's a poor show like Ben said I think if I was in that if I was Captain I'd be going that's not right we need to leave that in the board not on the game day but literally today that'll be getting sorted um it's poor from him as well because for Raheem obviously he's still crazy talented and very very good player but now you make everybody else look at you like why would I want to take that yes you still got three years left at Chelsea but if he moves on he could still go to top four club in any country yeah he's still that good so if you start seeing like my team and then he said he's talking about the material that they were doing before like so what you did a pregame M like no in um in the in the program everyone does that like do you I mean so even the mascots do it now don't they so like it's a bit I mean doesn't make any sense and also if you do want to stay moaning about it's not going to get you in figure it out and work work on it it's that's all there is to it yeah get your head down and work hard don't make a song and dance we've all been there as well you could be you can be an [ __ ] in many other ways and still come back from it I don't think you can come back from no that's that's what I'm saying like Chelsea's got that feel for it and he's one of their most experienced players and he's allowed his Camp to put a statement out that really makes it very awkward for every member of staff and every player this morning no need coups for kickoff as and before the first match it's just not required it's not needed and like you said he should get in this morning get his gear on and say right I'm going to show you that I should be in this team got beat two- n at home I'm better than XY or Z and I've got to show it what so to so but to go to your point now it's about the culture cuz at Man City that wouldn't happen at Arsenal now that wouldn't happen so when you start seeing about the winners you you never see these stories come out it's always about the teams now that has become a bit of a circus a bit of a sideshow and I think whenever someone leaves City or wants to leave like look at Cole Palmer apparently the rumor is that he said he wants more game time pep said there you go the doors over there it's just that it's just that simple it's finished here now is a statement as he speak the manager speak about before the game after the game we're speaking about after the game manager one of the first questions was that so before before and after we speaking about about this this situation today they're speaking about it now they're going to have to have a meeting about it and the guy wasn't even in Squad yeah so you's still not even talk about football issues that's the problem manager it they got beat it's not a good look is it you've got Conor Gallagher on his holidays in Madrid taking P you know having his picture taken and nothing's happened there yet fuzzy is it jumping the gun to say this is beginning of the end for Sterling at Chelsea um yeah it probably is to be fair um you've got to think as well well the the the problem that not only him but there's an awful lot of players at Chelsea that they're they're earning crazy wages and there's a lot of clubs that aren't willing to pay those crazy wages especially for somebody that seems to be a little bit disruptive or seems to be kicking off around the edges when it doesn't quite go to plan or go to where they want he'll be one of that highing highest earning players without doubt he it's a shame no fuzzy because he's not not we all know like he's a good kid he keeps his head down he's never had that problem at Liverpool never had that problem at City yeah but going to the circus yeah you start acting like a clown if that if that's the if that's the sort of the way that the club runs and that's the atmosphere the fact that Enzo was a captain on Saturday after what happened with in the cup of America the fact that Enzo's captain in the first place he's a young kid he's 20 years old 21 years old he a c pro there now what that's what I mean but what does he know about being a captain for a football team like really leading not like that or at that level I'll guarantee you he's not the one going around the Chang getting older people going don't do that watch that don't do this don't do that it's really funny that you say that cuz you a lot of people that watch this like the YouTube and the younger generation they'll go oh but he played for Argentina and he won the World Cup it's like yeah but he was a part in that he wasn't the reason when there are some actual captains in that Argentina T ABS you look throughout the spine of that team they've got leaders all throughout the team from the goalkeeper to the very front man in Lionel Messi they've got leaders so he hasn't got to worry about doing that because that's not going to be would you be worried if you're a Chelsea fan obviously you know they've got a rich history and you've got chilwell Gallagher shalar Sterling these are like four British good lads and they seem to be being frozen out I'd say I'd say I don't think the British part of it plays any part of it for the simple fact that I've still got re James and obviously trying to look at you got to have a quot you anyway I don't think that's a part of it I think the frustration I felt yesterday when watching the game was that they were booing they were getting frustrated cuz is a style of play that they're probably not used to their most successful years have been with drug bir JT lamps which was we're coming at you all guns blazing and we're going to yeah we're going to dominate but we're physically going to dominate yeah whereas now it's very passive play like it it annoys me when everyone tries to beat Man City yeah because they're the best at it so why you trying to beat them at it do something a little bit different the best game I watched was Liverpool ipswitch this weekend yeah because IPS tried to do something brilliant tried to do something different but the now and probably the the double- Ed SW to that is cuz Vinnie company gets to buy a job why you why are you going to come away from your principles because even though on a relegation he gets one of the best jobs in World football football's changed honestly football it's not about winning as long as you play it's not about winning anymore it's like everybody just wants to keep developing keep developing until I get to the end of your career and we're like oh [ __ ] I forgot that I actually to win a game got out to do something jeez right onto Arsenal l Good Start for Arsenal we talked last week actually about Arsenal do they need that number nine and um a couple of people kind of made comments in the comment section saying they scored 91 goals last season I think it was four or five yeah less than City and it got got me kind of thinking is this do they need a number nine or is this just a style of play they share the goals around the team they do need a number nine I think Is Havertz the striker to lead Arsenal? hav has done a very good job and he was he was good again the other day the reason you need a number nine is when you need a goal for City who's going to who's going to get it yeah Big Man Holland when Tottenham needed a goal it was Kane like you need someone in those difficult moments that you rely on that that's where the goal's coming from I think if you saw the back end of the year um Champions League semi-final was all saying they needed a strike and then we started going actually the left back situation a bit of a problem there because the style of play is all good against with greatest respect wolves and teams alike but when you to get over the hump you've got to beat City you and you can't do that at a minute and people go oh we beat them last week but you can't beat them over the course of the season to get to where you want to get to the Champions League you got to beat bayern's Real Madrid's and even Real Madrid went to city and went they're better than us let's sit back but we had but they've got goals in vious junior people like that so I think you need a main Striker and a main goal scorer I thought on the day the only goalkeeper that did well this year was David Ray made a big save at one0 from the header if that goes in it changes the game but listen there top two City and Arsenal they're miles and above everybody else and everybody else is playing catchup well so talking about the goalies then fzy come to you so David reyer had a really good game I heard Big Joe talking about him match of the day really good uh debut on Match of Is Raya one of the best GK’s in the league? the day for Joe by the way but he never seems to be in the conversation for the the League's best goalkeepers but is he up there now he's not well cuz he's not is is he not no do you know what he is he go he goes under the radar right he does a job for Arsenal what they need him to do he doesn't go I don't think he try I think the reason why not many people speak about him because he don't make too many mistakes and he never rarely makes too many big St he doesn't make mistakes that cost him a goal yeah exactly he can he can shank a ball straight to them if if they if it cost and it goes in the back of the net people will talk about it forever in a day but if you get away with it it kind of just goes under the radar a little bit but Arsenal just keep winning it's as simple as that and whilst he's in goal and he's making match winning saves like he did on Saturday against wolves it was a fantastic save to be fair CU he's moving into his left but he managed to fling the arm out and make the save to the right um keeps you in it keeps you in games right basically that good that saves as good as a goal good as a goal it's as goodal a goal at the other end so um would been criticized if that goal would have gone in Troy no I think I I think personally again all jokes St it was it was a it was a top save obviously I was there but I think he the kid should score like all the all the powers on the ball he's tried to head it when you just got guide it and yeah but he just headings got out the game as well that's a whole another topic we can talk about but I think I think David R is's good but when you talk it depends what you look at in terms of goalies and we were speaking oura I think I've been fortunate every goalie that I've had in my in my career has been great even the fellas sat next to me so but the one thing that was different to all of them is I could rely on them to do the basics really well I think now shot stopping coming and comand in your area talking is like sixth and seventh the list it's like can you play can you yeah but that's why he does well isn't it I mean if you were still playing you'd like to play behind them to AR he's he's a modern goalkeeper very mod goal and he's not going to have to make that many saves cuz the two Center halfs in front of him are phenomenal but I'm like you is he good with the ball at his feet Yes but is he the very best at it no he's not and to be fair he's been fortunate that artet has really backed him and put him in the team and he's in a very very good team and he's not going to get caught out coming for too many crosses cuz he's not that way he can make the reactive saves which he makes and he's still and they still believe I think that he can get better and better with the ball at his feet and that's why he's in goal for Arsenal but you'd like to play behind them two Center I think one of the questions that we got on the screen here is is Ry one of the best goalkeepers in the league he never seems to be in the conversation and I agree with Troy I don't think he is one of the best goalkeepers in the league I I really don't physically you can just tell he's not one of the best goalkeepers in the league there's so many big strong physical specimens of goalkeepers nowadays not only in the Premier League all throughout Europe that you look at and you go you have the potential to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world I mean Arsenal I'm sorry man city and um and Liverpool have got probably the two top goalkeepers as well as Emmy Martinez as well but you look at them and they are they're athletes they're big and strong big and strong Emmy Martinez you see him he comes out for crosses like like it's no one's business it will come out happily punching people I love I watch out I think that's what am my goalkeeper you look at like Nick Nick Pope at the weekend I'm not suggesting he's in the same quite the same category but because he's big yeah why not though cuz he the thing is it's about Styles right so he demand He commands his area better these are more better experts than me but just as a captain command his area know what you're going to get he's never less than eight out of 10 always reliable makes big saves what because he can't pass out from the back as good as reyer he's not as good a goalie he's not a modern goalkeeper that's it it's mad is it nonsense but he can do it he can do it of course he can do it but he been in the environment to do it to be fair Eddie Al still plays and they still play and he does his business so he is up there because he uses not sexy though he's not a sexy name is it as well he's been in the gym in the summer Nick po we're gonna get to bad St I swear my life I'll show you Pi in a minute Nick Pope has been in the gym looks good you talk about all these things we're talking about Arsenal won that game because the Wolves goalie were a disaster that game two yeah that's the game what what were Arsenal like in the game in general clunky wasn't free flowing it looked like they were trying to scor a perfect goal um saw a few little issues that could potentially come up for Mar had a few times he could have just squared it and someone scores but he's thinking like I've got to score now cuz trad's going to play you know that kind of early season and sacka was he was a level above like he was first 50 wolves did well and then they started Deeney’s opinion on Arsenal opening up thinking we could have a go here and he just every time he got it he's like you know and you know he's going on his left foot show him on the outside and they keep going now oh go on then just have a shot so he cut in on his left whips the ball in keeper comes out of nowhere it's a good head of from have to the second one he's breaking away you're like please show him down line show down line oh no show midside touch reverse finish let come inside on that left foot but it's like no one does any research anymore you know they've been told you know they've been told you know the coaches have done it and it's like well he's left footed well if he goes on the outside and scores with his right foot that's one we can live with but if you're going to show him onto who best for one of the best players in the world at his position well then you ask him for trouble wolves decent though n wolves were crap mate were they yeah they were crap I I felt bad for G to be fair because they're well drilled well organized but when they get past the halfway line nothing going forward buted absolutely he needs is a the other Striker who came who they start side he was okay he's he's all right he'll get you six goals a season but uh need a wing go with real pace and then they need like someone in the middle that's like they've got pods they've got do who they're nice players but they need someone with like 6'2 yeah CU arsal just ran over them every single one of Arsenal midfielders odard rice uh parte were all like just big units it look like boys that's good isn't it to hear about Arsenal that you never really hear about Arsenal being big strong units you know what I mean they need to do something different to get closer to cting on do you remember stand in the tunnel against and I'll never forget our first last time we played Chelsea at Stanford Bridge um Diego Costa Oscar uh JT Gaz kahill um who was in goal cheze in goal freaking Ivanovic I you know I do strength so I'm thinking I've got a chance I walked it [ __ ] now cuz I'm 6'1 so as I looked up at every single one of them you're looking up going oh my God yeah and they're really good at football yeah but you know like we're going to have to physically that's what I think arsal started to get into their game now and people don't appreciate just how big all of these boys are do you think do you think wolves will be right this season Ben um I do think they'll be all right I think um Gaz Gaz O'Neil he's he's a good manager I think he's done really really well hasn't he um and I think he'll it'll make that wolves team whether they might not have the ability technically they will they will outwork an awful lot of teams there'll be a lot of teams that they'll be able they will be able to run over and overwork and that's what we'll get they'll be better than the other three that cable my lad said to me with wolves fans and the family and he said why you think we're going to finish this season D I think we're going to come eighth was like mate anywhere between 14th another good season win it that's a massive honestly from what I've seen 10 and 14th is is a massive season I think it's a 17th to 15th job yeah because I don't I don't know where the goals are coming from and as you see with a goalie you're not going to keep many clean sheets the boy totty yeah he kept M he falls over his laces he's wait he's a car Crush remember I said that he's a car crash okay right on to I switch then wat what we saying IP switch Liverpool were pretty bright I watched the game and I really liked it I think for a new team com hey look they're at Slot starts with a win against Ipswich home the fans have not had a Premier League game for 30 years everybody's with it but I think McKenna set them up and they went for it and to be fair Liverpool had have been glad for the halftime breather because obviously their manager then gets fired into them makes a change and just like massive change and his whole thing was that they weren't winning the physicality they weren't winning the jewels in the first half and nip to be fair to him had a right crack at it looked pretty dangerous from some set plays and Allison made a couple of decent saves and certainly on the one big opportunity on the Counterattack I thought when Liverpool had the corner and they won the tackle on the edge of the box and the pass in if he' have played the pass in front of him rather than wide because Allison we know Allison's going to be really high and on his left foot he could have just gone boom but the pass just took him in that bit and yes he's always coming inside on his left foot and it it kind of peted out but I thought they had some real moments but in the second half Liverpool got the act together and in the end it could have been five or six but that's the quality difference that that you get to but I think ipswitch will have something to grab on to for that and I think if you're a Liverpool fan you think well clean sheet 2-n and and they look pretty decent and especially in the second half but it's hard to judge where they're at because they're playing hi switch and it's newly promoted that's the difference though isn't it like the the two goals it's just real quality at the Premier League like that ball from was it Trent for the first the um Leaf Davis got he got caught on that about 16 times in the game it's just one thing that you've been there same as me when you when you Deeney’s insight on jump from Championship to Premier League playing in the champ and you think you lot a mint and like we was a Watford we were decent and you go into the Prem and you go oh yeah we're so bad like you don't realize just how big the jump is so if you've gone from League one to the champ it's it's a decent jump if you go from the champ to the Prem it's a quantum leag it's so big and is that that's everyone's going to be really fit at that level but is it just that quality where it matters Troy there's about five things how good they are how big they are how well they move how they just ruthless they don't go are coming up this will be a nice day for them it's like kill them and what you realize is when you start playing against the big boys we we got [ __ ] a few times by City And Liverpool well the big one you was there I weren't there for that but that's that's why it but when when you um when you play against the big big boys they just move the the sound of the balls different when they pass it it's like boom boom and you're Lu yeah but everything in here is two yards quicker as well oh my that that's why that's why they they got at half time and Liverpool even though they haven't played great I think they still knew they were going to win the game because it switch had given everything they've got in that first half and what Liverpool have to almost do is go right just get into half time because we know we're fitter than them they're going to blow a gasket and eventually we'll start opening up some holes and it's exactly what was that ball from Salah runs onto it perfectly the left back oh the poor lad again going back to your point there in the championship he's got time to turn around and still get back and make that tackle in the Premier League game over honestly it's game over do you think I think it's quite quite smart that they haven't made like wholesale changes in the summer and fuzzy do you think Liverpool will will need to get bodies through the door do you think it is it is a really smart thing just just letting it all settle and letting the new manager work with the players they've already got um I think they I still we spoke about last last week's show didn't we that the the only war I've got for Liverpool is the fact that you've got Trent and you got Virgil Van djk contract running out at the end of the season and that for and mo Sal sorry may as well CH Mo in there as well um contracts running out at the end of the season and you know as well as me Troy that you don't get to the last year of your contract without contract negotiations already have taken place especially I'd say the fact that um moel Liverpool players running out of contract and Virgil Van djk were a little bit older it can be understandable sometimes and you get down not when you're that good probably not when you're that good even when even at this point it should have been sorted already but it's kind of a little bit more leeway on it I suppose and if if if they've had those conversations and Mo and Virgil are like yeah don't we I love this place we're then you could understand but for Trent for Trent to get down to one year 25 something's going on something's going on he's gone you'd like to say you has 90% he's gone yeah the fact that he'd set this point and it's not because there's so much value in him whether you look at it from football whether you look at it from adver in there's so much value in Liverpool to go here you go salah's leaving what Salah 32 33 you take his contract for example yeah um but I think when you look at Liverpool I don't think it's the case of they've not tried to get people in I think a lot of people like us players as well going I don't really know what they're doing let's let's have a let's sit and watch and then also do they have the finances to go and get someone at 40 50 million I'm not sure I'm not sure they they probably could do that but they probably have to get rid of one cuz finances were an issue last year as well you remember when they were trying to reig the the Midfield so I think they're in a situation where what's available is there anything better than what they've got in their starting 11 or are we going to sit and go right we know we're losing Salah we know we're losing van dijk so let's keep the money this year so that next year we can have a right good go on Center half you probably got you probably got 600 Grand a week there between van dijk and moal alone them two yeah and then the again going back to what Troy said then about about Trent Alexander arold he knows that he knows that if he signs a new four fiveyear contract he is a straight away 10000 million pound asset yeah if somebody wants to buy him when he signs his new contract it's 100 million quid minimum absolute minimum but Trent knows that so he can say right you make me the highest paid player in the Premier League and I'll sign a new contract and I could see that happening as well he could hold out for it because if he goes on a free transfer to Real Madrid he's getting four 500 Grand a week he will yeah I think that's the the benefit of not paying a transfer isn't it if the player can be a bit more demanding but I worry for him a little bit because I think all these players obviously we know klopp come out with a statement and everybody loved him didn't they you know he were the driving force behind the club players loved him even players who weren't in the team you'd have never got the Sterling situation absolutely he'd have talked to him he got his arm round him and and there were a real mutual respect there so I think certainly the two senior players Salah and Van dijk will be looking at that thinking well look our guy's gone here and I know how much he really got into van djk for him to leave Southampton and the guy loved him so I think them kind of relationship it's hard to put into context so I think they'll just be waiting to see this uh AR it pans out with a new manager and a decision will be made and I think it could hurt Liverpool the Trent one even though he would have still been kops kind of guy because he's younger it's just Madness that it's allowed to happen I like I like the manager those slot I like the way he spoke afterwards I like the decision go right I like but he's getting beat up so off you come there's Quansah’s performance… no like no sentiment there so he's obviously G him a chance right you didn't do it off you come canate straight in SS a great message to is that still like the stigma of like getting subbed at halime can sometimes be like a thing but is it just that's I think that's a blessing in disguise for for qua I don't I think that's I think he'll learn so much from that he he he knows he's been bullied he had a little bit too early though as well in my opinion I think he he remember the game at United last year when he's he's give it and uh Fern scored straight away yeah I think he's a very good player I when I watch him I see so much 21s football in him like play play play play he he hasn't got that urgency of like right bang and I said if I said it before the season start if they got rid of Van dijk Every Defender they've got is a number two and it's so difficult to find a number one Center back that you know bang is the guy and I just think with Quanza needs to come out he needs to figure out who and what he is and then go right going to come in there cuz he's probably looking a little bit of vanik going oh my God he's so good matip is the most calm casual man you've ever seen he's looking at canate he needs to figure out where he wants to which one am I yeah and who am I going to try and take on because canate is a big lump I I think it's hard it's not hard it must have your lows but when you are playing against the Virgil Van djk and he makes it so effortless oh absolutely yeah he is in control of every facet of being a Defender honestly he is we had and he's probably not going to like this I know you fa but when Batman was trying to be you yeah like but it was was because Danny's not great with his feet be yourself basically be yourself what I mean let me just clarify that what I mean by that is like fzy a nice Lefty let come across his body take his touch and he clip it out the other side but it was effortless for fuzzy he's been doing it for he played his 4 years yeah doing it forever but then Dan Batman come in and he was like right I know I need to take you one I want to be the first team and he was trying to do it but he was clunky so he' take a bad touch and he kept getting closed down you still see it now he gets closed down on a lot of things cuz he trying to be fuzzy do you get what I mean Abol capabilities but that's not a thing at Danny but it's just a perfect example as to what happens in the game like you look at someone who's ahead of you and you think right I need to do that to get in the team and actually it's not you're in the team because of what your skill set I know you can respect the guy who's in front of you and learn from that but you've still got to be your own guy when it's your time yeah absolutely it's true I I love that point it's a really good point he is he's he's he's looking at van djk and he's like I I can be that as well you're not that guy yet yeah you're 21 years old you're in the team for what you're good at which is pacy and you got to play the ball you're not physical you're not effortless it doesn't come to you like that you have to think about it you have to work hard for it and I think he just needs to get back to doing that but I think it's like said I think it's a blessing side disu because he watched that second half and go that's what the manager wants from me that's what I need to be yeah and I mean obviously they've lost but it was an encouraging start for mate yeah it's it's I I always think it's very tough playing newly promoted teams on the first game of the season especially a team that has been in the Premier League for 202 years like like ips switch you know it's going to be like a carnival atmosphere it's their big day um and you know they're going to be up for it so they did fantastic they just need to make sure they keep doing that for every single game this season yeah okay and then right wat West Ham Villa obviously leri's come in very different stylistically to Moyes um fair to say they were they were left wide open at times sorry was it was it I don't think so talk to come on exactly the same where did the goal come from goes out to the right back and it's a big dard to soek penalty never a penalty though I know but is it not is it not what they were doing I think it was very similar team as well considering they bought a load of players as well they was virtually I think apart from um there were two or three players that were different it was a David moy's team as well and they give the ball to Kudos I hope he runs past 20 people people please cross it yeah M that was if that's a new completely different St to Moise I I'm clearly all my alies that a waste of well I tell you what when I when I watching the game it were like just a master class from Villa I mean they should have been five six half time it wasal the penalty change of game I mean for me it's kind of the same old chat isn't it this season Man City have won and we'll talk about V controversy West Ham v Villa because I don't think it's ever ever a penalty and somehow West Ham are back in the game but Villa just kept going kept going kept going and I I thought they were phenomenal uh and for an away performance when it is lgo's first match in charge of West Ham and I actually thought he would try and do something different to David Moyes to be fair and try and really make them a better more expansive but they were just wide open and and I don't think Moyes ever liked his team being too wide open but there was so much space for but you know why didn't want them wide open and we could still talk about it because we played against a lot of these players that playing so's a big physical Lum he gets up and down the pitch but he he's not going to run away from you no so that Midfield he couldn't allow it to get to big because they get run over which is what you saw today not today on the weekend sorry so when you see Villa and Onana big powerful unit but my he's like duk here he just runs away from you so when I was watching West Ham I'm like similar to you right what are we seeing that's different and they put this stat up halfway through I don't know if you remember they were like against the top six David Moes had 29% possession on average and today they had 45 and it was like brilliant yeah but you Ain come back your own half that's what I mean so it's like you're just keeping the ball for nothing yeah I'm I'm not I'm not having that it's a massive change listen he might completely blow out the water and I'm wrong and I I hope I am but to get rid of Moise because of the style of play and then your goal comes from go to the right back and it's a big diag to it weren't even just the goal the style of play in general was very similar Villa just dictated and dominated the whole game it doesn't get up to a great start to be fair for West Ham when the ball That Areola mistake… comes into the box and he's heading it in two and a half yards out yeah ARA talk to me about ARA I'm I'm not happy with that when it's a new season a new brand new season right you starting the game everybody's the same you go I want to get off to a good start get to a good start but I don't want to get out my comfort zone too much right I just want it nice and comfy somebody just floa one into my hands or something an unbelievable ball it's a whip Ball but arola has the height on the ball gives you Chance The Defenders can't get there it's an inswinging ball so the zones have all gone in narrow and at that point you're thinking right if this Ball's above my head and it's a decent size above my head I need a goalie to come and do something and he just says all right I'm going to stand on line but one thing that you and G used to do really well you used to say even it was an inswinger they used to say to us stay up give me do it yeah so then we always used to know cuz I used to be the The Zone didn't I so it used to be if it's on my right shoulder f is coming for that so if there's an inswinger from the right yeah if he's it on my inside shoulder I know f is coming for it anything from my head outwards is me you deal with it yeah so that but then that's the importance what you're saying about the position because they went really narrow yeah really narrow on him and I just think that's a keeper job though to go move of course but you know the size what you talked about physicality West Ham still got massive physicality so he's thought I'm safe here they can come into that bit but the ball's so high above the heads you you as a Zone have got no chance and that's where the goal is got to come into His Four but before that Ball's even it he's allowed the zones to come on to him he said they're going to clear that guys two minutes in mentality is not there he's made that decision before the ball even been ABS that's the bit that there I don't like that because that's where you really need to be on the front foot and really going now I'm going to do you know every day they've done it in training a mat day minus one when they're doing the set plays he'll have never come for the ball cuz boom boom clear that I love that clear that so he thinking I ain't going to come for nothing this is golden there wasn't a huge amount of talk on on TV about it either and and is that because the Defenders like I looked at just Layman like watching it and thinking there's quite a lot of traffic in there and is that what you're saying about just getting that the Defenders the goalkeeper pushing them fur getting old doing their jobs and and I just think it I think it's somebody that's going out the game I I never wanted to be that guy that sounded like um negative like oh in my day it was like this cuz played 6 months ago so it's hard as if I'm completely out of it but you have set peace coaches now who go do this do that do that and every player goes well if it goes wrong set peace coach I'll to stay here I got blam for so many goals going in I I'm at 60 yards away here like you know we've done all the work we've gone through every scenario but you've got to step up a little bit and take some autonomy when you're on the field absolutely but I don't think anymore that's why I start to I start looking at certain players like we'll get onto him in a bit but when you see e playing you're like oh my God he's so good cuz he thinks Off Script everyone now is scripted and plays to do what the manager says do this but that's a different conversation on Villa because you know it pains me to talk about those but they are actually they're very very good I do I do worry I I've got two concerns one the Midfield when they have to start breaking teams down so they've lost Louise who I thought was their best footballer now they're going to be a bit more wman likes the wrong word but they're going to crash bang Waller and then when the Champions League comes in have they got the depth then to start throwing the big we saw Newcastle last year yeah dis not a disaster but not the greatest of Premier League season because the pre Champions League takes so much out of you you think when once that starts it's traveling an awful lot you're people understand to traveled or do they that's the thing the what sorry you traveling how much you are traveling on plan it does it ruins you it's not necessarily even the extra games the the six extra sort of League games in the Champions League there it's going to take a little bit out of it it's the mental mentality that it takes out of the toll of that of traveling on a Monday getting back on a Thursday another game on a Sunday and then just I think that's where people don't see and you're 100% because the top ones do it time and time again Villa have only just got back into it but the Taps dripping you're losing bits every week when you like that and it's the Holy Grail so you want to do well in it and it's full gas and that Taps just get and and the ball's getting Fuller as the season goes along and sometimes you haven't got anything to get you back out of that mod you know and the difference is like your cities all the people that are used to doing it their facilities are based for that so set up good to go for for the average list of w but the plane you can you can get on a normal plane or you can get on the plane that you used to travel it's got a bit more leg room all your stuff done that the the recoveries uh the physios like are you Landing back and everyone shooting off well if you look at Ronaldo and the like it's Landing back straight to the training ground do a bit on the bike the you got be doing all that stuff so it's a case now of like for Villa and team Newcastle last year that's all new yeah so for Lads nine times out of 10 you just want to go home you don't want to do the extras but it needs a physio Department that goes no no we're doing this and I know it's going yeah I know it's going to be uncomfortable I know you're not going to like it but this is what we have to do and that's the bit that they're all going to start learning on the job so Brighton Obviously good start for them beating Everton fuzzy couple of things Ashley Young was 39 last month yeah when the Brighton manager was n Ashley Young made his first premier league appearance Jesus Christ um what' you make of that Joy what would you what would you think if a 31 year old came in and was manager of your team see how good he is like anyone you give you probably give him I think this is a confusion for fans as well as players how long do we really give a manager a week so what's his first presentation like how does he handle himself big one isn't it the first presentation is massive by the way it's how does he handle himself around the the staff and the like the people like the the security all the people that we know and interact with it the canteen staff what's his trading sessions like how has he handled problem a that we knew was a problem before has he come in and nipped it in the board is he letting it carry on so this it's probably a week isn't it and you go right people have sused the person out so that's I know some managers have lost lost the job on that first presentation and certainly on the first training yeah you know and you know it's happening so interesting is but people think like we'll being old school but it's not like if you're we okay we was at Watford so we had a lot of forign managers so if a forign manager comes in and is trying to be like I own this room but the English is not good enough and they make one mistake say the word The Lads will start laughing yeah and depending on how that person reacts depends on if they're going to last or not but most people I've we had uh remember when jav Garcia was in there his English wasn't great was it but he made a laugh out of it he used to say L people's names wrong but not intentionally so then he just started making jokes at himself so now everyone's like oh fair play try and then we ended up obviously getting to the FA Cup final but you can lose it in that first week but I think never mind he be 31 yungi being 39 and still starting yeah he's one a testament to how good he is as a pro and a model Pro but how about Everton yeah you know I love D to death but if I'm a young lad there and as a 39y old playing I'm questioning whether I'm whether this Premier League stuff sever for me yeah if you're 17 18 19 in Everton's uh youth team you've got to be going I was young you playing ahead of me especially especially in this modern day football where it is just purely about being an athlete now you have to be an athlete you have to be able to put in with when he got sent off though he was like me and you when he was that mean you run it was a hard watch that one when when he's chasing back you know what respect somebody and you you know him and but that's what you're saying about he has a bad touch but he knows it's finished at that point he cannot recover and because like I know him as well as you not as well as you guys but I know him he's a great lad proper Pro and he'll be everything that dcey wants there but the legs are going a little bit that's the reality you know so so Ben you were with Ashley Young he was a very young player at Watford what in 2005 five yeah five I at school then if that makes you feel better honestly oh God and just quickly on James Milner broke the record so that was his this is now his 23rd Premier League campaign incredible James Milner appreciation and and actually I was Al I think it was the BBC put out something or another saying and there's people that have got the front so we almost go oh yeah 23 years of this or that and being 23 years Troy of playing in the big league to be in any business at any level at that top for that long shows how good of a human is first and foremost cuz you can we've all been there with players who were good talented and Ral Morrison unbelievable player has not been able to get a club why you've got to be unbelievably good unbelievably fit a nice person can you still keep up with the demands he's seen two decades of change in football so when he came through at lead it was 442 get after it go through relegation then he's obviously all the career he's G to City he's changing St ad and he gets better and he he can play anywhere he can play anywhere like so for anyone who writes anything negative about James Milner you got no respect in yourself that's why you're talking nonsense on other people you know the people that are saying negative stuff about James M is like us when the Olympics was on the other week we're all going look at the state of that it's like but I could have run that Aussie breakdown I can do that don't be talking about reag Gan I'm not having it all right I'm not having it but Brighton and fairness to him I I wouldn't have predicted this result but it doesn't surprise you does it it doesn't surprise him because Brighton do what Brighton do they I couldn't tell you probably seven or eight of their players I genuinely couldn't I was I was same as you until I was flying out to Germany to do the game the first game and I was on the same fight as Tony Bloom so just chatting and I was like what about this what about this fell then he's like bate he's the nuts he said he's the youngest I to get all of that but he's the NS the way he delivers the way he plays we've been looking at him for two years and I'm like huh like wow he would have been 29 where did you know where was he atge that's the top that's where they're doing the back like so Chelsea might have got a good manager we don't know obviously it's really difficult in there but like at Brighton they're just on the merry go round and managers and coaches When Troy met the Brighton owner on the plane! the homework's getting done and other clubs have got to see that and say boom that's where we've got to get I I was talking to about ja Pedro I was like I this his breakout year he's like oh you might see him in a different position this year you're like what where he's a striker ready no maybe was he you thought was number 10 and you're like yeah actually makes a lot of sense just you just start understanding where they're at and they're not thinking of here and now they're looking at seven to eight months down the line which is I think for any manager a the security in that and knowing that right there's a process that we're going to do it and as long as you're accountable to your actions then they're going to be fine and again their recruitment's been spoken about for years but even all of that being said still got WS up front sco yeah I know and what a finisher yeah but you but you've got this is what frustrates me now everyone wants to go young and Youthful to get the average age that but it's about your CD PR you've just thought well scores you've got James Milo Lana was there yeah Lana they realize you need Pros in the building to get hold of all the having young Talent having young players is great and you wish them all the best but they need to know what it's like at the level what it's like to be a pro what it's like to trade every day what it's like when you drop out of a squad so you don't act like Raheem you know all of these things they well said well said very good and there a 36y oldold that needs a job so I'm that guy it's me it was worrying for Everton fuzzy yeah very woring start isn't it yeah it is um especially at home as well first game of the season the way Dai likes to play is obviously in their face they finished last I thought last season was was an absolute success for them considering the points deduction that they had to finish in the position they did um and again it kind of slightly surprised me because I thought Everton would get really in their faces but I don't think they even lifted a finger on Brighton really Brighton just look there's a lot of lads trying to get out there that's how I looked at everon it's it's I don't really know like you don't really I don't know what's going on behind the scenes at everon but it doesn't seem like it's a club that know there's rumors in there they might struggle to pay the bills all this year yeah um obviously the stadiums coming that's next year I mean so big this year I mean you can't envisage a team like Everton getting relegated but to start in a new stadium a league below is just un I think they've got a lot of problems with the financial and if you're pford Duke see there's there's a lot of big players that are there like who have a high opinion of themselves and rightly so they can't be going another relegation battle so they they might be angling behind the scenes to like is there anything anywhere me getting out here so I think it's a difficult three three or four weeks for Dai but what he always does soon as that window closes I guarantee you cuz I've been there you'll have a meeting the next day and go right it's just us versus the yeah now that's it's US versus the world so whatever's gone on before put it away and then they'll start to pick up cuz he's got this way of galvanizing and he just gets everyone in you just you just want to run for a Brit wall for him love that okay and then talking about man united Fulham they squeezed past Troy what's Where will Man Utd finish? your expectations for United this year I still think top eight I don't think I thought he going to say top four I still think top four he said top eight top eight you know do you know why think there so much I that's what I think I thought you were going to jump in top four no no no top eight top eight the reason I think top eight I think there's still a lot behind the scenes that needs to get fixed listen the Payton job down down the tunnel which the L mentioned about three times that's not really the issues that's going on obviously they' they're buying in the market I still I still think theit is a very good Center half I don't think he's what everyone expects I think he's better he's going to be an upgrade on ran cuz he's a bit more mobile younger can still play but he's not the delit that was 5 years ago so I don't think you're going to get that player but I do think he's going to be able to get hold of it the injury record is people are still getting injured so you know like some has to change there and then I still don't know who that from freze I know when H's back he's the is's the main Striker but he's a bit like Darwin Nunes is he going to get you all the goals I like both of them I think they're very good team players but you need goal scor to get in that top four but I thought the boy who come on xery they need to realize how to use him cuz he picks up some lovely positions and they just weren't getting in the ball quick enough so a lot going on there still got Sancho is he going to stay is he going to go they've got Marcus who I thought looked bang average again and then the one thing that pisses me off is if he would have missed that chance that gacho Miss it's on every paper and Marx is going for a drought he squares it like a good Pro like he should do the kid misses for six yards out open goal and no one speaks about it oh yeah that was yeah you're right it's not been spoken about so it's like I think they're okay would love to know what you two think I think the goalkeeper scares the life out of me yeah scares the life out and me also but I'm like you I can't see anything better than top eight i' don't see no even the even the mentality of the way that they play they don't press they don't get they're happy to let from the back I liked that what they did they realized yeah we're not they haven't got the players ability to do that no just Dro back and that's the reason why they were top eight and that's what it's gonna be for them that's what C attack team yeah um yeah I thought I'm same as these guys really I thought it was okay um I thought Fulham looked decent um for a first night game night of the season I wanted to see all sorts I wanted to see players flying around and nobody did nobody apparently according to LeAndre Martinez um at Amat tror sent him back to the gym didn't they oh relax relax did you not see the first 10 seconds yeah yeah hey I you you played in the game I still remember when he came on FA Cup semi-final and I thought he come on an extra time so I'm trying to help out we're winning I've ran to catch him and he just went and I went it's not my game no that's not my game just the one that martinz on about as well he's so off Balan I I like the B of it I do like the B of it I I I do worry about Martinez I think he's a very good player he's the new modern day tough guy isn't he cuz again not to be about B i' have chewed him up because you don't have to fight him you literally just pin him with your arm and everyone now wants to fight him I don't understand he's got this like little Aura yeah yeah he's like don't fight him just stand there you're literally bigger than him take it on your chest if he hits you in the back go down can I do it three times you'll get a card yeah so it's just and again even with Dara I love him but if he realized all I have to do is kick it and run anyone that played Pro Evolution back in the day double tap R2 just run B just kick the ball and run that's what you're good at you probably got to fall over and kick out you know what mad though like players nowadays you could have the fastest players in the world and they still wouldn't do that because it's not cool it's not like but it's effective but but they they think they have to be that lovely player that plays a onew and then gets into space or plays lovely technical he's never going to look run it around and go after it that's all you need to do yeah I love a do he's he's built like a pitbull he's never got to look foress he just kick it and run and pass it across the B that right when you go to Newcastle in Southampton fuzzy we were checking about this off camera Ben Diaz sh red card what do you make of this mate M it wasn't a r I'm not having it as a red card the head the head the headbutt it's That Schar headbutt... not even a headbutt why are we calling that Hest my son did that to me this morning when he comes in this morning pushed his pushing his teeth it was nothing it's absolutely nothing it's two people just giving it the big in just don't get involved once if if you sh but it's absolute [ __ ] ay from Breon deaz it really is falling on the floor rolling around I'd be embarrassed at it myself personally but he got the player sent off and from that moment on I'm thinking F this ain't good for Newcastle um but then for for Southampton still not to have scored a goal and to go and lose a game it's a disastrous start for them it really is they've been given a golden egg a golden opportunity on the first game of the season back in the Premier League and you're still going to lose a game one no yeah and how how valuable is it wat to have Nick Pope obviously back in sticks now yeah we we've spoke about uh some of the goalies at the other teams and I think Newcastle need him in the goals I think he's a real reassuring figure behind that back four and he might not be the flashiest goal but there's one thing he does he dominates his area and he makes big sa stops the ball going in the back of the net stop the ball going back in the net job and do you know what he does his job really well and actually if you do watch Newcastle and you get a chance to watch him he still plays because he has to because H plays football so he's got all the attributes to do it but I'm like you I think for Southampton go into that game it's a tough start away Newcastle for any body You' DET te a point and run but when the game falls into your lap where Newcastle stupidly red card 20 odd minutes you can't get beat for sure but you're looking for a bit more if I'm totally honest and I know they dominated the game and they had lots of chances and Pop's made two or three saves but they never really looked like they were going to get the goal and it's what you talk about you need goals in your team if you're going to survive I know sorry said also whenever you play Southampton they're going to give you a chance so even if they SC scor to Newcastle go they'll play out from the back and mess it up at some point cuz before that game we knew they play out from the back you know what Russell does and they they'll give you a chance be careful with that in the Premier League trying to do that you can't you can't give chance away to these International Players Eddie how talked about it after the game about the the fans obviously it was deafening like when every time Diaz got the ball for example now as a football fan I don't really get this like how much of an impact the fan makes you've been to St james' part multiple times like they' be really nice to be but when when they're like baing for blood and and how much would that get in your head as a Southampton player would it get in your head it's the it's the character of the player isn't it so in my case it was playing Villa beating Villa um two we're beating him 21 at a time last couple of minutes I'm keeping it in the corner I L had fans running down the side of the the walkway spitting and throwing coins at me Jesus loved it Lov it like if it was up to me I'd been thrown a back but I'm not allowed but you know that in my situation that's that made me get better cuz now I'm on the wind up and I think you did a an episode where you say like I loved off like any player or fan that wanted to go against me or Mila well now you're getting it yeah and I'll never start it but I'll guarantee you I'll finish it yeah it was a few weeks ago and Ben it said Ben said who's the biggest [ __ ] house you've played with and he said Troy wasn't a [ __ ] house but if you're going to give it to Troy if you're going to be a [ __ ] house to Troy oh yeah yeah I can compete with the best of that yeah yeah I've gotten people's Eds on you know for about 15 years so Troy did what to Joe Allen?! it's an ability it's a skill isn't it you can use it to your advantage and th to not get to not get too high as well yourself in it so like the only time I sometimes it boiled over the only time it did is when when I choke Joe Allen that's the only time yeah remember that little Joe Allen heing that why did you pick on the little fell he like I said I never started it he started on me really good picture of that he started with Undertaker no it was I I grabbed his face and I was just squeezing and the look on your face and I'm laughing though as doing it and I remember kleb said uh they because obviously the drug test was taking upstairs so it was him Darren Fletcher for Stoke and KS for us and KS was saying like oh Joe was like fuming with you I was like oh it's no problem tell him like I'll come and say sorry whatever so no know he said if you would have held 10 seconds longer he was going to pass out he said he could feel himself going so he started kicking that's brilliant that's brilliant I'm a change man now yeah yeah what about the goal fuzzy Joel Linton um mate what a finish yeah what a player um I think I missed him quite a lot last season um when he was injured I I do I love him though from what they bought him for was a lot of money and he got ridiculed he got absolutely ridiculed he had the nine though which didn't help it's complet yeah and and it weren't really his position he weren't an out and out goal scorer but look at him now he's just I love him he's the sort of player you want on your team he's the sort of player every team wants to have um works his socks off gets up gets down physical gets involved you can tell he's a team player I do I absolutely love him can Newcastle will push a little bit bit more this year I I think I've put them down as top four personally I think if they can keep Callum fit as well to dovetail with Isaac um then that helps they've got goals in the team which is obviously a massive and when you look at their key parts of their their pitch they've got it s they got a great goalkeeper got really good Midfield I think Tali is coming back as well at the end of the month so again another good player coming back in there got goals at the top they're back four I would said lashia sha was probably their best set of half but now this might make them go get GUI yeah now there as you look through that team the spine of that team is really really good so I think I put them for top four U no no European football again I just think they're going to in a position to to do you mentioned gay there let's talk about Palace then okay because I want to talk about the mechanics of this uh MK gahi deal if you're MK gayi you're in this situation right now um Newcastle fourth bid I think has been rejected so far 65 70 OD million quid um where's your head at if you're MK gay I think he's handled it perfectly yeah you do what you should do you play cuz if you're in a situation I'm sure knowing knowing Steve Well Steve Parish he would have said to him look the fee is this if they get to this yeah you can go no problem so he's now going we know the fe's there that's on them to sort but a good summer he's come out he's one one of the few that he's enhanced his reputation with England well if he now goes and doesn't play he looks like an [ __ ] and all that's gone so train well play well and then if that deal does get done his match fit he's ready he goes straight into the Newcastle team so I think he's an example to loads of young kids now that's how you should do it um because he he was good and yesterday he was he didn't look out a place he looked he looked bang onone so fair play to him and fair play to Palace like the price is the price if you want him come and get him like we're not it's how a transfer deal should be done basically yeah we're not wwor are we like come in and just take some sweets and walk out like wwor not a thing anymore by the way is it not rest in peace wwor Australia they got in Australia War don't they they do yeah big they're big in Australia still yeah W what do you make if G he leaves that's that's a big problem with Palace right I thought Palace yesterday did did okay but I think if you think about him or E leaving which is still a potential before the window I mean you would fear for him but I I'm with Troy I think he's Where next for Marc Guehi? conducted himself amazingly he was phenomenal in the summer for England he's come back didn't really put a foot out the line yesterday he's captain of the team he's behaving as a captain of the team and if a deal gets done it gets done but e is the one for them I'd probably be even more upset if I were a palace fan if I lost him because he's the one that gives him everything could he get could he get into any team in the Premier League I wouldn't say he'd walk into certain teams but he would be an asset the top two yeah anyone the top two he would definitely what about that go honestly I think the wait look we this is the a free kick that was ruled out look I I think he's absolutely un flecking unbelievable I cannot see how and I've watched it probably a thousand times now that why the ref would blow because whatever happens here at the in the line here the ball's come flown in the net the ref blows it's probably five yards from going in and E knows it's going in the goalie knows it's going in all this fluff here is irrelevant it's a shot that's going in wait three seconds longer two seconds longer and he has to give a goal cuz this here the goal is not looking at this e is not looking at this e is shot because he's fancied he's got a chance and the the refs just made a why would he blow the whistle because he's got be careful I didn't even tell you this so I did the uh I switch game um the when they got promoted last year I got there early it's the final day the refs come and pulled me for things I said on yours about the washbags and that so this gets played in the referees room so I need to be very very careful about what I say because they was all like it's a good a good J like it's true though they do they're big time nowadays yeah I they W too happy to I let everybody else know about it so no but I I think the frustration for for fans and for managers certainly is that it's just the first game of the season so if anything be to the letter of the law a bit over the top do you know what I mean it's where there's so much inconsistencies on day one so for us it's like well did you go to these camps and actually learn anything because if you looked at the Chelsea game do you remember in the city game the Jackson went through he was Miles offside he played on for about 30 seconds and then they go oh yeah there's there's the flag but then this one we can't let it run for longer than two seconds because seconds it was it's just but it's not even a block we will Sho an even blocking it's irrelevant they're both literally just standing next it's a shot from 30 yards wide that's gone in the goal this but here does not matter and why is blown young inexperienced whatever but we were talking off air before referees now have got all the backup behind you so why do you want to make that decision and make yourself look foolish and just wait you had the obviously the situation at the Everton game as well where that the monitor didn't change and then they're saying there was a backup monitor underneath it just from day one it just looks poor yes and I think they would have to say visually to a fan it looks poor to managers you're giving yourself enough of an open door now for people to go bang that's not good enough so and we're talking about this by the way the technique the strike and the placement from E is ridiculous that is that is something you Tred training and it messing about and you might like if you're doing the set pieces you might go not sure about my keeper finger have have a go see what happens and they'll try it they'll blast it over they blast he is knable it's not even the technique everything about technique phenomenal but to look like you're not going to do that as well so you got to understand is he's not set up looking at the goal like just I'm because the goalie then would go oh sweet I'll just take another step to my left because he's going to shoot he is making it so inconspicuous he's just chilling looking at the rest of the maybe pointing at him LZ just on your head yeah try as soon as I whip it mate he's doing all of that kind of stuff and then last second bang Zips it in the it's phenomenal it's genius cost him money and he's cost Palace to be fair cuz if you go one up the whole dynamic of that within two that's football within two minutes inside I I liked Palace I thought they were sneaky my bet for top eight but I after watching them I'm I'm a little bit confused so they've got to sign isar who we know really well who is a wide player that he's get it get to touchine cross it now they kind of play with like inverted 10 yeah so I'm like that's not going to suit yous and then obviously got Elis coming back as well so it's like the um the the at least they go at least they gone at least they Sorry at least they go you put the um got Japanese lad came in yes he came in from latio very good player but he's got to now adapt so when you take him out you have to put Jordan a in who you didn't want to put it just gets a little bit confusing I thought the way they played and what they wanted to do was great but I still worry about the the mateta and uh Eduardo as can you consistently score goals yeah I'm not sure and you know I thought at the start of season top eight but now after watching again it's only one game I can see how they get picked off a lot more now and it'll be and if they lose a couple before that window yeah I'd be i' Center half or E if I were any of the big ones i' I'd be looking at taking them ab and with the window coming up then Ivan Tony what we saying he's been left out squads fuzzy I think it's fair say it's Ivan Toney to Man Utd?! not him they left M the squad yeah they wanted to play are they protecting are they protecting him there so because of an injury no they're say they're say they're say there's so much money can't risk on table Yeah because he again I have to be careful because I know Ivan so he wanted to play trained all ready to play they made the decision Friday so basically what what's going something's going on behind the scenes with with regards to a transfer a lot of money by involved by the sounds of it and instead of putting him out on the pitch and him picking up a little injury that might Ru him out of that transfer brenford of gone now you know what it's best if you just sit this one out mate and it might be happening a little bit sooner than we yeah I would say by the by the sounds of it that it's kind of imminent then by the sounds of it really um whether he stays in the Premier League or there's a couple Saudi teams linked with him as well um massive money if he goes to Saudi by the way I want to stay in the Premier League though you know like you all want to look after the families and all them things but all that can come to him is at the peak of his powers I want him to go to a big Premier League team because I think he's got the capability to do it brenford is still going to get the money whether it's potentially say arsenal or this Saudi league but I think for him just do it at a big Club in this country the Saudi pro league will come you know what I mean all right all right quick question then um Chelsea offer you 150 Grand a week to go there and the Saudi team offers you 400 Grand a week to go there load up the play I don't think I could cope with a London lifestyle so you like the war you like the war thank you go there we go there we go and what about W what about brenford this season obviously they uh were a little bit lower down last season than they have been in previous years lot of injuries yeah what's your expectations I I like them as a as a club I think they've done the right things I think the manager is very very good and I yeah hey look the Tony if he leaves it'll be a big thing for him but I think they'll kick on from what they did last year I think last year was just a a real flash in the pan for them because it didn't just yeah just I think they've got enough to keep going I think Thomas Frank's a real good manager I think on the Ivan thing I think Ivan's a massive fish there that if he moves out they've got uo's very good whist is very good I think they then get into this space of like they have to work to be the the main man yeah that's a good thing so like if I comes out he may be like all right then come step up and they bought the boy who got injured in the that's the problem is he done his knee yeah so if he comes back let's say January they still 30 million on him so I mean the the the spending big and that's where I think that's why I think Ivan has to go in that regard because you've already spent the money thinking that that would have already come in so there's a balance in the box that's got to be happening where where fzy what what where where would be a good fit for Ian doy um I I think he's going Saudi so it doesn't really matter where the perfect fit is um but there's plenty of Premier League teams need a striker everybody needs a striker Striker man united everybody needs stri man united all day every day that's that's the one that you look at the style you go right they need a Target R they can look after the ball someone that can link it with players running them behind Marcus Gara they they like to run in behind without the ball and then they always get into wide positions and they cross it and they got like Bruno Fernandez trying to head it which is not his game you know what I mean so balls in the Box he will score but they have just invested heavily last year on a striker so to do it again is questionable have experience as well though Troy because United have signed a lot of young players having someone like I with his also I think rude's perfect for him rude vanoy you know better than me but on one of the best strikers we've ever seen in this in this league in terms of finishes natural finish he's only going to take Ivan to the next level and it's guaranteed as well it's guaranteed it's a guaranteed investment so whether he costs 40 50 60 metal and he's on a couple hundred it doesn't matter it's guaranteed he he very rarely gets injured you know he'll do a job for you seven out seven or eight out of 10 every single Saturday and he's done it in the Premier League for years so it's a very sound safe investment there is that that is there that bit of tax do you think Ben because we were talking last week about salanki going to Tottenham and I said oh it's a lot of money and you went well no because if you sign someone for 40 or yeah it's still a lot of money but you know he's done it in the but that's the bit there is is there's a lot of players that you will spend 50 60 million quid on and it doesn't translate from the the Italian leag or the Spanish league it does just doesn't translate the Premier League is so much higher Tempo and every single team will give you a game you come from those other leagues and if you play for one of the big boys you're winning the majority of your games you're running them over rolling them over you don't get that in the Premier League there we go then right what would saying is it time for quiz [Music] The Quiz time right Jamie you got your 10 questions I've got my well 11 questions just in case we've got a tie breaker I like it I like it
