Thank
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Welcome to the Daily Newcastle podcast. Again, if you listened to the last one when us three were on, hey, this is two in one week for us three, when Joe and Nick were on with myself. We cannot start an episode we without somebody laughing at the start.
00:00:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it was Nick again this time, which is not a shock.
00:00:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, yeah.
00:00:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
she's just such a happy person, apart from when she talks to me, believe it or not.
00:00:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Hey!
00:00:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um... Right, another episode. and We've got a couple of things we're going to cover. We are going to talk a little bit about Izak, but again, we're going to talk about what he's doing in Spain because we've spoken enough about Izak's situation.
00:00:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
hey
00:00:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think everybody's kind of in the same boat.
00:00:41
Jo
sick
00:00:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're going to talk about the midfielder situation and again, linked to Izak with domino effect, which all these strikers like Watkins and Sesco can have on Newcastle. So that's what we're going talk about m As you know, I'm joined by Nick and Joe because when it's us three, we always laugh. But let's have a check-in because last time us three weren't together, I realised I'm way too positive to be a Newcastle fan.
00:01:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
and And we also realised that you guys maybe needed some therapy to get over the whole these exact situation. So, Nick, I'm going to start with you. Are you okay? How are you doing? Everything good in the world of Nick?
00:01:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Are you talking personally or football?
00:01:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Both.
00:01:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
so Personally, well, yeah.
00:01:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Newcastle has an effect on our personal lives.
00:01:16
Jo
Uh-oh. Don't go there, girl.
00:01:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're big fans.
00:01:17
Jo
It's
00:01:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Personally, I'm fantastic.
00:01:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh.
00:01:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um
00:01:23
Jo
the highest level of sarcasm ever.
00:01:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
You what? people watching this now who will who will instantly just liken it to Nick.
00:01:25
Jo
That's brilliant.
00:01:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's like, yep, I feel that. know what's happening.
00:01:31
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:01:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, I am um surviving but not thriving. And um yeah, Newcastle United are ruining my life. So football-wise, I'm not great.
00:01:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, okay. So both not great.
00:01:42
Jo
So, I mean,
00:01:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Joe, are you little bit better?
00:01:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no is the answer.
00:01:46
Jo
i
00:01:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
That laugh is, I'll laugh or cry.
00:01:46
Jo
but
00:01:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
going to laugh.
00:01:49
Jo
there we go. We'll do that. It's
00:01:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right.
00:01:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
oh
00:01:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, let's talk Newcastle because let's let's be honest, right?
00:01:53
Jo
going to be fun.
00:01:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
How are you, Kev?
00:01:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's be honest.
00:01:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm all right. I'm always good. I'm the most positive man in the world, aren't I?
00:01:57
Jo
I know, exactly.
00:01:59
Jo
Bring the positivity and the happiness, obviously. Can we have some more at your take, please?
00:02:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I'm very fortunate to think the way do. So... m
00:02:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You are.
00:02:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
so Alexander Izak, let's not talk about is he going to stay, is he going to go? I'm not going to chuck scenarios at you. Would you forgive him?
00:02:15
Jo
no
00:02:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Would you not take him back? What we're going to talk about is it's kind of broke very well. I say recently by the time you listen to this, it'll be tomorrow, which is today for you guys. Work that one out. and But anyway, Alexander Izak's training in Spain. He's back at Sociedad, his previous club. and It was broken by loads of supported in men noses ah supposed or supposed inmanos. But then Sky Sports broke it, so I believe it.
00:02:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it says that Newcastle are aware that he's over there and kind of getting over his injury. and I've got a theory about why he might be over there, but I want to come to ladies first because I'm a gentleman. At least I try to be.
00:02:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:02:50
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Bye.
00:02:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, Joe, how do you feel about Isaac being away from the North East? Why is he in Spain? Do you believe the whole injury thing? Or is he just get me out of this club? What is it?
00:03:01
Jo
I think a bit of all of that cause I don't believe the whole injury thing, even if he does have an injury thing. So have some of the other players that have travelled. So I'm absolutely past this whole he's got an injury crap.
00:03:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Lewis Hall. yeah
00:03:10
Jo
um So, yeah, injury no. i've I've got mixed feelings on the whole. Does he want to be away from Newcastle? Because, yeah, I think he's burnt his bridges a bit because even if it is his age and pushing this,
00:03:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:03:23
Jo
There's been nothing to come out to kind of say, no, no, it's not as bad as you guys are thinking. There's nothing to kind of dull these horrible rumours that are kind of spreading like wildfire, not only through the media, but on social media and now our fans.
00:03:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:34
Jo
The other fans are just loving ripping it out of us for some bizarre reason, even though...
00:03:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I love it when Newcastle do bad.
00:03:39
Jo
Ah, they do, but you know what it is?
00:03:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah,
00:03:40
Jo
I watched a pod by this girl called um Alice Talks Football or something. If not, she's mint, isn't she, right?
00:03:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
My new fan. She's class.
00:03:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah she's good.
00:03:47
Jo
Like, that that girl knows her stuff on every team, and she's brilliant, but she's a Man U fan, right?
00:03:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
She's amazing.
00:03:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
She is brilliant.
00:03:52
Jo
But she talks so sensibly, and I watched a great pod on this morning, and and just, she was going on about the EZAC situation, and she was like,
00:03:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:03:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, she does.
00:04:01
Jo
ah I don't want to leave and I don't want to go. I don't know why anyone, she went, I appreciate I shouldn't be liking such and such as a Man U fan. She went, but why on earth does everyone think it's hilarious that Azak's going to leave m Newcastle and join Liverpool?
00:04:14
Jo
Why, if you're not a Liverpool fan, are you so excited about this or you're just laughing for the sake of laughing or you're just following suit on social media, which like get real, a lot of people do.
00:04:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Thank you.
00:04:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
I
00:04:21
Jo
They jump on a bandwagon, don't they? But
00:04:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
can't have all opinions, Joe.
00:04:23
Jo
um Well, of course they can't because most people are like, uh-uh. Anyway, beating people down at this point.
00:04:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:04:32
Jo
Everyone hates me now. But yeah, that's that's kind of my general consensus on the whole EZAC situation.
00:04:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
yep
00:04:36
Jo
I think it's a mess. and We need some sort of resolution soon because I want us to move on and I want us to try and secure a replacement for them.
00:04:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep. Nick, do you feel the same? Do you think there's a whole lot of bull with the injury stuff and he's out there just because he wants to be away, yeah?
00:04:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
you know Yeah, he's never been injured. And I don't really like the fact that we've been given that narrative. um But what else is he supposed to do? could have come out and said, he wants to leave. he um ah So, yeah I don't believe the injury thing.
00:05:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um i also cannot get on board. and don't know what's happening with Kev.
00:05:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
My dog.
00:05:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh, no, I on board.
00:05:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
My dog's in the podcast.
00:05:13
Jo
He's trying to do all the anger.
00:05:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
no
00:05:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Keep going.
00:05:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah canno not
00:05:16
Jo
but
00:05:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, if i'm show you a puop if I show you a puppy, you'll feel a lot better about Isaac.
00:05:19
Jo
Ah, that is true.
00:05:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
True.
00:05:20
Jo
It's true.
00:05:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
i cannot get on board with um the fact that he hasn't travelled out with the team, like Joe said, because even if he did have an injury, hello, Lewis Hall's there. um So, yeah, not cool.
00:05:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um And, um yeah, I think he's probably gone to where he is to get away from the absolute chaos that his agent or him have caused himself.
00:05:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Because let's be honest, he used to walk around, he walks around Newcastle, doesn't he, walking his dogs and singing.
00:05:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
think
00:05:48
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And it sounds really, really ridiculous, but he's probably thinking, um can't go and do that cause I'm bound to get hounded.
00:05:48
Jo
None of that. I'm
00:05:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um
00:05:53
Jo
getting lynched.
00:05:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I think that that's what that's exactly what think about it.
00:05:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. Like a one city club, isn't it? So, yeah. So he's probably thinking, I'd rather just go train somewhere in peace where people don't really support Newcastle and don't really give a crap what I do.
00:06:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep. It's quite sad, really, when you think about... Yeah, I agree with that 100%. I think he's probably asked if he can just go anywhere but the North East because of how emotional it's been. We talked on the previous pod when we were on together kind of the emotional reaction from Newcastle fans.
00:06:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Some are just like, get gone, let them rot, all this stuff. i meant Others are just trying to play a devil's advocate and and, you know, say I explore my options at work every other day and all that stuff.
00:06:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I do feel a little bit sorry for him.
00:06:29
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah. 100%.
00:06:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know it's not a popular opinion and I know a lots of people can say can get stuffed, but the fact that he doesn't want to be anywhere in either region at the minute because of the rumours and whatever's happening and and is is actually quite sad.
00:06:31
Jo
Amen.
00:06:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. In terms of injury, I think he might have a very slight knock, but I think it is just a kind of a clubber using that as a narrative to be like, you know what, he's injured, that's why he's not with us.
00:06:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
But let's face it, he's one of our most marketable players. So if you're doing a tour in and South Korea, you're going to want him there, whether he's injured or not, aren't you?
00:06:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah
00:06:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I think it's a little bit sad that he wants to be away.
00:06:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
hundred
00:07:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think his agent has a lot to answer for. I've looked at his other clients and all of his other clients put together aren't worth what he's actually worth. So I think his agent's are a little bit out of his depth. And I think that whole statement came from him being out of his depth.
00:07:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:07:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
and When Romano broke it, he did say that it's still Newcastle's decision. That was very recently. That was like 10 o'clock this morning. Romano's post was, of course, Izac would like to go to Liverpool.
00:07:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Most players would, which is actually probably true.
00:07:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:07:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
and But the decision is Newcastle's worth of a selling on. So I don't know how unhappy Izac is, but think it's gotten to a point where it's a little bit sad of he doesn't want to be in the region anymore. m
00:07:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah
00:07:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
What i will add is that we need to be very careful as a fan base because... In about a week's time, Iza could be pulling on a black and white shirt St James' Park for a friendly. If no bid comes in, Newcastle fans are going to have to find a way to just welcome him back. And if he scores, brilliant and all that stuff. I know we won't boo him, but it's getting a little bit over the top. I think he's left ah he's left the region.
00:07:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's give him space and time. If he leaves, he leaves. I don't mind if he leaves. I'm a bit gutted. As long as we get a replacement, I'm happy. So... replacement. Let's talk about replacement. This is like a domino, by the way.
00:08:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, Cesco being linked with Newcastle, Man U or Newcastle.
00:08:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
On Man United.
00:08:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah If Cesco goes to Man U, that means Man United won't want Watkins anymore.
00:08:18
Jo
Okay.
00:08:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Villa want Lewis Appenda. So, if he goes there, that means they'll need to get rid of Watkins and won't be able to keep him, which means Watkins can't go to Man U, which means Watkins might end up with us in Newcastle.
00:08:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's It's a domino effect. I have no idea. I mean, the Cesco situation, other than pretend in the nose, saying that he might prefer Manu. I know Keith Downey said it last night where he's kind of had similar conversations where we think Sesco might be edging towards Manu.
00:08:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Why?
00:08:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
um ahs a That's a question I'm asking. Why on earth?
00:08:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Okay, sorry.
00:08:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
No Champions League. No, you're right. i'm I'm good. Keep going, Nick. It's like there's no Champions League football. They finished, what, fourth bottom? Fifth bottom?
00:08:55
Nicola Pringle-Adams
17th.
00:08:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:08:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Lost the Europa League final.
00:08:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but
00:08:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's embarrassing. They're in debt.
00:08:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're not in the Champions League, exactly, in a whole load of debt.
00:09:01
Jo
a
00:09:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
I have zero idea. at this moment in time, I know it's my new, don't get me wrong, I'm not this typical Newcastle fan who has a hatred for my new. I weirdly like them because I bet them when I was growing up, that was my era.
00:09:10
Jo
I am.
00:09:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But it is my new, as a project and as Champions League football and European football and where we're going, coming in to replace Izak and all this stuff, surely that's a...
00:09:14
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'm that typical fan.
00:09:17
Jo
Love being typical.
00:09:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
more attractive offer unless it is just money. m But again, ah before i come to you guys, I'll put a positive spin on if Sesco does choose Man U. If he does choose Man U, we don't want him. We only want players who want to be here.
00:09:34
Jo
True. we do.
00:09:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
I like that other clubs are coming in for players we want because we're actually seeing what they're really made of.
00:09:35
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:09:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
We were lucky with Bruno where he might have chose us anyway.
00:09:39
Jo
Yep.
00:09:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
He might not have, but now he's in, he's fully committed. Same as Joel Linton, all that stuff.
00:09:45
Jo
God, yeah.
00:09:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
But Isak's not like that. we We know now if somebody else came in for Ezek at the time we came in for him, would have went elsewhere.
00:09:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
ah
00:09:48
Jo
No, he's not. Never has been.
00:09:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just like Pedro and Delap and all the others us we've listed.
00:09:52
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:09:55
Jo
Yep.
00:09:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:09:57
Jo
Fact.
00:09:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I think that's a positive with Sesco. Anyway, Sesco, take our Newcastle hats off. Man U or Newcastle, we're feeling. let's Let's make a statement which will either age like milk or it'll age brilliantly well.
00:10:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Which one, Joe? Newcastle or Man U? Where do you think Sesco is going to go?
00:10:14
Jo
Like you said before, it's the money, isn't it? If money are going to... If money? If man you money...
00:10:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
You
00:10:18
Jo
Money man you are going to stump up the funds, he'll choose there. Look, there's a lot of players out there like that. We've literally just talked about a couple there. He's like that. Bruno's not. Whatever.
00:10:28
Jo
I'm not saying Bruno wouldn't leave. By the way, if Bruno wasn't offered like 10 times the amount to go somewhere else, I am not that deluded. However, there are different kind of levels of commitment.
00:10:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
do it in a better way.
00:10:37
Jo
am bit deluded, but you know, we've all got ticks and stuff. um
00:10:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're learning lot about you on this episode.
00:10:42
Jo
But yeah, like... Learning lots about Joe because Joe's got issues blatantly. um No, no, seriously. i'm i'm trying to like I'm trying to kind of be sensible here. ah so i think we are a more sensible move for him um team-wise and structure-wise and stuff like that. However, it I think it is going to boil down to the money.
00:11:02
Jo
If he goes there, I wouldn't be sad to get Watkins. I've seen some like complete meltdowns, the shock horror, on social media about Watkins, and I'm thinking, hang on, man.
00:11:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I don't no
00:11:10
Jo
he's You know, you would think he was an awful striker. The guy can score goals. is And I think and in our team, he'd be even better. I really do. I think the how effect, if you want to call it on him. um So I wouldn't be sad with either that one of them, whichever one's going to play out. But like you said, Kev, we've always said this.
00:11:25
Jo
We want players who want to be here.
00:11:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Exactly.
00:11:27
Jo
And again, with the whole Izak thing, if you want to go, go.
00:11:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
If he doesn't want to, yep.
00:11:30
Jo
Because no players bigger than the club.
00:11:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
you know
00:11:32
Jo
We've said this for decades. This is not a new thing that people are saying as fans. um But the same thing applies to Sesco. It applies to Watkins. It applies to anyone who wants to play for us or doesn't want to play with us. So there we go. That's my say on that one.
00:11:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nice. So overall, if you had a pick now, do you think he's going Man U1 Newcastle?
00:11:49
Jo
I'll try and be positive. Let's see us.
00:11:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, he's coming to the tune.
00:11:51
Jo
Because, man, you aren't going to pay more. Because, man, you aren't going pay more.
00:11:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Get in. Hmm.
00:11:55
Jo
but debt They're in debt, like Nick said. What are you going to
00:11:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think the Ezek situation has a big impact on us.
00:11:58
Jo
Be in more debt.
00:11:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
hello
00:12:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think think with the owner being back in town as well and him kind of wanting this mess sorted and he's kind apparently he's given a bit of a um couple of backhanders to some of the people in charge um of what he's playing with.
00:12:00
Jo
That's the answer.
00:12:11
Jo
I wish you'd literally give some. Imagine.
00:12:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:12:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I wouldn't want to see him walking in my office.
00:12:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I think that makes it, I wouldn't want to have, think he'd...
00:12:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But hello.
00:12:19
Jo
I'd cry.
00:12:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, Nick, Sesco.
00:12:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Working really hard.
00:12:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sesco Watkins with domino effect how you feel about any of them options and at the end which way do you think Sesco is going to go
00:12:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
um I wouldn't be mad with either of those two, by the way, Isak does go. wouldn't be mad either of them. And I back up Joe's point of the absolute meltdown that I've seen on, obviously, social media of fans panicking about having Watkins. I'm like, I don't quite understand the meltdown about that. You know, think he'll be, I think he'll settle in nicely at Newcastle, to be quite fair.
00:12:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
i Will Sesco choose Man U over Newcastle United? He absolutely will do. Yeah. um And that's me just being very realistic. For some reason, players are obviously attracted to the likes of the Manchester United. the manchester Obviously, it's difficult it's difficult to defend against Manchester City, the Liverpools and things like that. I get it.
00:13:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Why players are choosing Man United over us, though, I will never know. Because they were in relegation last year. if it wasn't for the appalling bottom three, because they were terrible...
00:13:22
Jo
Yep. Mm-hmm.
00:13:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yep.
00:13:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
obviously, this is like and me sounding Michael Owen now, if it had just gone that would have gone in the goal. They would have got relegated if, you know, if Ipswich and Southampton were a little bit better, obviously.
00:13:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:13:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
But yeah, I don't know. um It baffles me. And like you guys have pointed on before, if players don't want to come to us, then I'd rather not have them.
00:13:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Exactly, I'm
00:13:44
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Because we've seen it in the past of where players have come to us and they've just hated every second single second. And that's kind of, you don't obviously want that. it creates a very toxic environment. And if also Isak is feeling like that,
00:13:56
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I don't want him.
00:13:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, I think Isaac's probably in a toxic environment himself.
00:13:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah. yeah
00:13:57
Jo
That, yep. yep
00:14:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
He probably either regrets his agent or he probably wishes he maybe went about it better because ah think
00:14:02
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yep.
00:14:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
No matter what we say about Isak and his whole striker situation, I think Isak probably does quite respect Newcastle and the fans. I think we probably do mean a lot to him. So I think it's hurt him. And I think that's why he's went to Spain because he, like you say, doesn't want to walk his dog. doesn't want to be around the area. He doesn't want to be a part of it. He just wants to know Are Liverpool going to make a bid and am I going to go?
00:14:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Or do I have to return back to Newcastle? Like, whatever is happening, I'll come back when it's done.
00:14:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:14:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, quite a sad situation. Right, we're going to have ah our work Bionic advert. umm I'm going to shut the door so a dog can't come back. Poor dog. And then and we're going to talk about women fear the midfielder situation because, let's face it, we've lost Longstaff.
00:14:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah but The fantastic legend that is Sean Longstaff. We've lost him. Nicola will be gutted about that. And Joe Willick has picked up what looks like quite a serious injury. So we currently have four 45th central midfielders at the minute.
00:14:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
such a good position to be.
00:14:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we need pick a midfielder each.
00:14:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Just about who we want to come in and add depth to our team. But before that, listen to this.
00:14:56
Jo
Oh, God.
00:15:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'll take Miguel Miron back.
00:15:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Lovely stuff. Right, no more striker talk because we've talked about the domino effect about what could happen and the whole Izak thing and I think it's actually a bit sad now. So we do have other areas of our team we're going need to strengthen whether Izak leaves or not. Obviously goalkeeper, we've got Ramsdale. He's got loads of stick, poor lad. He hasn't even played set foot at Darsley Park yet and he's is literally, he's literally been hammered, poor lad. I think he actually used to be a very good goalkeeper.
00:16:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Southampton was an interesting choice but again local club, all that stuff. and So yeah, I think Ramsdale might fix that goalkeeper position for at least one year. We still have a centre-half and a centre-midfielder.
00:16:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, let's talk about midfield. Willock looks like it could be a potentially serious injury. Howe has said that it might not be as bad as what it looked. But either way, we can't rely on Willock for fitness and Longstaff Scott.
00:16:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right. Nicholas having a breakdown.
00:16:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
What a great situation to be in. just love this club.
00:16:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's brilliant, man.
00:16:34
Jo
awesome, isn't it?
00:16:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Just think of all the possibilities. We've Champions League football coming back. We've got Lewis Hall, Tino Livermento, Tenardi.
00:16:37
Jo
Can't wait.
00:16:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've got Joe Linton. We've got Bruno. We've got Gordon. We've got Alanga. We've got Murphs. We've got loads of good things.
00:16:45
Jo
Big Murphs!
00:16:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Champions League away games. Loads of things we possibly want. But we do have issues to fix, like any club. Midfielder, let's pick. I've got one rogue one I'm going to go a second because I know yous will probably both disagree completely. So I'll get you two. Gang up on me and I'll go a second. and But Joe, is there midfielder at the minute on the market who you think he could really add some depth?
00:17:04
Jo
you
00:17:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
He could be fantastic for us. I'd like him at Newcastle. Who is it?
00:17:11
Jo
I think Lab makes responses, but I'm trying to stay realistic with it and not say Valverde as you did earlier because that's just mental.
00:17:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I would love Valverde, but we're never going to get him.
00:17:17
Jo
Because you're a little bit mental. Of course we'd love Valverde, man. um So yeah, a realistic one that I think would be great depth, and you've got to remember we're talking about just giving depth to the squad here, and I think Eddie could make even better, is Conor Gallagher.
00:17:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:30
Jo
And I know there's been some like rogue links to him. um So yeah, I would be happy if we explored that one. And again, as I say... I'm not saying he's the world's best midfielder, but he's also nowhere near the world's worst midfielder either. So um I think he'd be a great addition to the squad personally. And I think it's just something someone that, all right, I might be proven wrong on this, but we need to sign him first to be proven anything.
00:17:53
Jo
um But I think Eddie and the team could do something with him. And as I say, I just, I don't know. I think he's got enough about him to add some add up enough to us that we need, basically. Yes, all right, we might need more than him, but that's the one I'm going for for now.
00:18:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
If Eddie picks him, I'm like you, i would trust him because he's turned around Kraft, Shaw, Joe Linton, Murphy.
00:18:08
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:18:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Joe Linton
00:18:10
Jo
Big jaw.
00:18:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
God, we don't know how good Gordon really is without Howe. Isaac even. I mean, Isaac's record before us. We don't know how good he really is, but Howe's had a very good impact on players.
00:18:18
Jo
He's gonna stink when he leaves one. Stink.
00:18:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Gallagher, when you first said him, I was a little bit like, I'm not sure, sideways and backwards.
00:18:23
Jo
so
00:18:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
But when I think of that loan, remember that loan season? had a palace. He was unbelievable. Yeah.
00:18:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and also the league where Chelsea won the Champions League I don't know when that was what was that 22 23
00:18:33
Jo
It's just about being coached right now.
00:18:40
Nicola Pringle-Adams
22 maybe that Chelsea team some of their midfielders man were 10 out 10 I don't know what's happened to them since but some like when Mason like I know people give him a hard time but like Connor Gallagher Mason Mount they were unbelievable in that Chelsea winning Champions League squad so yeah just saying don't underestimate Connor Gallagher Mason Mount's not my pick by the way before Kerry even dares jumps down my throat
00:18:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, I was
00:18:49
Jo
I like him personally, yeah.
00:18:58
Jo
Oh dear. know
00:19:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
about to say, Mason Mount is my pick.
00:19:04
Jo
I know it's not, but I know what Kev's going to say.
00:19:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's the one I would...
00:19:07
Jo
i know what ke's goingnna say
00:19:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Imagine Mount...
00:19:09
Nicola Pringle-Adams
is it
00:19:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, imagine Mount as Eddie Howe. Imagine how good he would be if you could keep him fit.
00:19:13
Nicola Pringle-Adams
and Right, sorry, I've really misheard the way you said that.
00:19:16
Jo
Oh, Nick.
00:19:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
You've got to keep him fit. Mount is my pick. Mason Mount would be a amazing under Eddie Howe. He's 26 years old.
00:19:21
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Oh yeah, you would.
00:19:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
26 years old. He's had a nightmare, my new. He was amazing at Chelsea, like you just said. You were bang on.
00:19:27
Jo
True.
00:19:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was fantastic at Chelsea. Chelsea fans were gutted about losing him.
00:19:30
Jo
True.
00:19:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Cried. They did.
00:19:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Again, 100% profitable selling academy players.
00:19:35
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I mean, when Bruno goes.
00:19:35
Jo
True.
00:19:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
We did cry. So,
00:19:37
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:19:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Mason Mount would be a fantastic addition, but again, it's for fitness.
00:19:39
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:19:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think we probably need someone more reliable, like a Gallagher who can play a lot of games, but no one's really reliable. a horrendous injury could happen to anybody at any time. So I think if you can keep Mount fit, I would love to see Mount at 26 years old, aim for the next World Cup under Eddie Howe in a Newcastle United team.
00:19:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's versatile. He can play as like an inside forward on a wing. He can play as a 10. He can play as one of three in the midfield. He's got legs, his work rate's brilliant, technically he's good and he showed a Chelsea he could score goals.
00:20:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's just had a nightmare, horrid time at Man U, unfortunately.
00:20:10
Jo
Yeah, yes.
00:20:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, I would love to see Mason Mount come in at Newcastle. And the other I'm going to chuck in is Jack Hinchelwood, but there's no chance of getting him from Brighton. the We ended last season Did he get three, four goals in his last six appearances at Brighton as a teenager?
00:20:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
and Looks like he's probably England's next kind of Declan Rice replacement, but I think he's better than Rice because he can pass more than just backwards and sideways.
00:20:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
yeah
00:20:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
That'll upset a lot of people. um
00:20:36
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I would take Declan Wright at Newcastle at this point.
00:20:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
But... No.
00:20:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's my favourite player.
00:20:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
but you
00:20:40
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I love him.
00:20:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
You wouldn't get an hour three midfield. You wouldn't get an hour three midfield.
00:20:43
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You just disagree with everything I say.
00:20:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Correct. um Actually...
00:20:46
Jo
Pretty much.
00:20:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Everything I say, you just disagree. you know what? My play is Mount. I'll have Mount at Newcastle. Thank you very much.
00:20:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Are you picking Mount as well?
00:20:52
Jo
Yes, Nick.
00:20:53
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, I think I would quite like...
00:20:53
Jo
Go on, ruin it for him.
00:20:54
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, I'm going to...
00:20:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go mate.
00:20:55
Nicola Pringle-Adams
quite like... Yeah, I would quite like Mason Mount.
00:20:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Explain.
00:20:57
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I said this months and months ago and I'm going to find the episode and I'm going to clip it and I'm going to clip this one because not one person agreed with me when I said I would like to see a Mason...
00:20:58
Jo
but
00:20:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Explain why.
00:21:04
Jo
Love that.
00:21:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
I would have if I was one.
00:21:06
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, you didn't.
00:21:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've liked Mount for a while.
00:21:07
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I can swear on my life you didn't.
00:21:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anyway, tell us why you would like Mason Mount.
00:21:10
Nicola Pringle-Adams
If I drop down dead now.
00:21:15
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Just, I don't know, because we've got no one else.
00:21:17
Jo
to annoy you just be honest
00:21:19
Nicola Pringle-Adams
We've got no one else.
00:21:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've got no one else. I mean, it's really who hasn't been said, which I thought one of his would say we're going to talk about very briefly before we end this episode.
00:21:23
Nicola Pringle-Adams
well
00:21:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Douglas Luiz is up for transfer. He hasn't really settled in Juventus.
00:21:31
Jo
hmm
00:21:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
He can't get him a team. He was brilliant at Aston Villa. They were gutted to lose him as well through PSR.
00:21:37
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I do have another one.
00:21:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
and he's another Brazilian lad so he would fit right in with Joe Linton and Bruno and obviously the adopted Brazilian Isula or Isulinho would you take Douglas Luiz is he the right fit for Eddie Howe I don't know much about his work rate but I remember watching him thinking and technically he's very good would you be happy if we were bring him I think the quarter price is something like 25 million which seems like peanuts these days but he's unhappy and wants to be away happy with him
00:21:59
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Blogging.
00:22:01
Jo
It does.
00:22:05
Jo
For that sort price then, yeah.
00:22:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, the only thing is, is he would he not be really stepping on Bruno's toes, I suppose? No.
00:22:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, it would be tough, wouldn't it? But if we've got Champions League, League Cup, FA Cup, there's going to be loads of rotation anyway.
00:22:16
Nicola Pringle-Adams
True. Yeah, it can't be picky. Yeah.
00:22:17
Jo
We need the deaths, don't we?
00:22:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we've only got Lewis Miley at the minute, who's fit as a backup.
00:22:20
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, true.
00:22:21
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:22:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
so And Joel Hinton's still 50-50.
00:22:22
Jo
Who apparently had a mare the other day.
00:22:24
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I would also take the other...
00:22:24
Jo
and the
00:22:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's been centre-half, hasn't
00:22:26
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I would also take Bruno's mate. Oh, my God. How do you pronounce his surname?
00:22:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fiketa.
00:22:32
Jo
Paquetta.
00:22:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Luke Paqueta. Yeah, I would actually take him.
00:22:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
No,
00:22:33
Jo
Lucas Paquetta, yeah.
00:22:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I know you're going to disagree with me because you hate me, but that's who I'll take as well. I would take him.
00:22:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's not. I will disagree with you, because...
00:22:38
Jo
Well, I've got another one to throw in the mix.
00:22:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Don't like his work rate. His work rate's horrendous, Paqueta.
00:22:42
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, but is that because he's not enjoying West Ham?
00:22:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
He just doesn't run.
00:22:43
Jo
I mean, I'd do a...
00:22:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe?
00:22:45
Jo
It could be that one, exactly, Because I kind of agree with Kev, but I agree that we could flip it and make him better. So, yeah, it's one of those, isn't it? um Another one that I want to flip into the mix would be a one that could also be part of the Izak deal when he inevitably gets his move to Liverpool.
00:22:58
Jo
Boo.
00:22:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nick's going to hate this.
00:22:59
Jo
Um...
00:23:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nick hates this player.
00:23:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
If you'd
00:23:03
Jo
am I going to say?
00:23:03
Jo
am I going to say, Nick?
00:23:03
Nicola Pringle-Adams
dare.
00:23:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Javier, you're
00:23:04
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You're all the Elliot, aren't you?
00:23:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'd rather have Curtis Jones.
00:23:13
Jo
I don't love him, be fair. I was just talking about him because he's been talked about. it's in you know what I mean? And it could be in addition to we get 150 million plus Elliot. I mean, I'm obviously pushing the board of it here.
00:23:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Might get 120 plus Elliot.
00:23:26
Jo
Well, that's why I'm being... but i yeah Oh, I wouldn't take 120 plus Elliot.
00:23:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:29
Jo
I don't want Elliot in that manner, no. I'll take him on top of 150, though.
00:23:34
Nicola Pringle-Adams
His attitude just absolutely honks.
00:23:36
Jo
But Gordon's attitude honks, though.
00:23:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Honks. It did honk.
00:23:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No, no, it did.
00:23:39
Jo
Or honked, sorry.
00:23:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
It did honk.
00:23:40
Jo
It was honking. It was honking.
00:23:41
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Harvey Elliott is honking.
00:23:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Eddie Howe. Eddie Howe fixed it.
00:23:44
Jo
And nobody might not be honking anymore.
00:23:46
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's going to happen.
00:23:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Curtis Jones, Nick.
00:23:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's going to be holding up.
00:23:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Would you take Curtis?
00:23:47
Jo
We changed Gordon. Eddie changed Gordon after he had a bitch for it, didn't he?
00:23:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Curtis Jones is Gordon's best mate.
00:23:51
Nicola Pringle-Adams
In T-minus two weeks, why can I see the fact that Harvey Elliott is going to be holding a black and white shirt with an Instagram caption of, can't wait to sign for the two and I'm going to be sat here like, can't wait to see him play.
00:23:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Curtis Jones could run.
00:23:51
Jo
Gordon had a bitch for it.
00:24:01
Nicola Pringle-Adams
That's what's happen.
00:24:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. You're going to be sat there like, I'm so excited to see him. He's so good and he's young and he's English and Eddie Howe's done amazing.
00:24:05
Jo
Yep.
00:24:08
Jo
You might change your mind like Gordon.
00:24:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Six months time, that's getting cropped.
00:24:11
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
oh
00:24:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
and Right, last thing before we end because we're very close to the end. The one person we didn't mention in the striker situation is Johan Wieser. Now, we had a bid rejected. Brentford wanted to rip us off for about £40 million, but he he's doing worse than what Izak's doing, by the way.
00:24:23
Jo
Mental.
00:24:25
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah, awful. Don't want him.
00:24:27
Jo
Oh, he's like full on refusing to play it or train or anything.
00:24:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Izak's never come out and said, I'm going to refuse to train, I'm going to go AWOL despite some reports, which potentially, he'd rather that than somebody just outright show up at training and say, I'm not going on the pitch.
00:24:30
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Bad.
00:24:33
Jo
he's just faking injury instead.
00:24:39
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's fled the country.
00:24:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now, I wanted...
00:24:41
Jo
Just do what they want, man.
00:24:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
I wanted Wieser when we were talking about him, but of would rather have Wieser. I think he's a brilliant player. However, there's something in the back of my mind now about, is he just desperate to get the move and he's acting out a character or has that put you off wanting Wieser or not?
00:24:55
Jo
Yeah.
00:24:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because for me, I love him. I said on this pod, I want a Langer and I want Wieser.
00:24:58
Jo
Not really.
00:25:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
So you can imagine my delight. It's probably why I'm more positive than most of the castle fans. was like, oh my God, we got a Langer and we're in for Wieser.
00:25:06
Jo
Got one of them, yeah.

Brilliant. But then, I don't know if this puts me off him a little bit. I'm a bit undecided yet. So, I'm not that you're happy with how he's going on, but is it a red flag or do we stay away?
00:25:16
Jo
No, not happy, but I'd still take him.
00:25:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I'd be a hypocrite I... Yeah, I'd still take him, but I would be a hypocrite it if I sat here and said, I've got no problem with the way he's acting because I'm annoyed with the way Isak's acting.
00:25:20
Jo
Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
And if anything, he's acting a lot worse than what Isak is.
00:25:29
Jo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:25:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Do what mean? um I don't... This is the problem I kind of have with football sometimes. And it's where... I guess not my passion because still love it. But I don't know where these players start to think they are bigger than their club or they're bigger than anyone, you know...
00:25:47
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's a bit of ego going on here. And it's just like, bring it down and not. just Treat your club of respect and you'll get treated of respect. Do you what These people are just burning their bridges with the fans, that you know the club, the the staff behind the club, everything that goes into it. They are burning their bridges, whether it's intentional or not. I don't know. But I'll be a hypocrite because I've just sat there and said that I wouldn't want Harvey Elliott because it's actually stinks. So do I really, really want someone like Wisser coming in if he's refusing to play for his club?
00:26:11
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Probably not.
00:26:12
Jo
thing is, has has,
00:26:12
Nicola Pringle-Adams
There's a meaning way to go about it.
00:26:15
Jo
Yeah, I mean, has there been, like, major issues until now with it? And I absolutely agree, by the way, it's absolutely wrong, and I'd be furious if he was doing that to us.
00:26:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Maybe.
00:26:22
Jo
But Kev just put a little bit in there, which makes us think, is he just doing it because he's wanting to push the move? and But you know what it is, Nick?
00:26:28
Nicola Pringle-Adams
i be
00:26:29
Jo
You're bang on. I've went on for years about what you've just said, about how players are now well above their station. But you know what it is We, not just, not us physically, like... the football and FA, UEFA, whatever, the money, if I'm honest, has put these players on such a pedestal that it's never going to get better.
00:26:44
Jo
It's only going to get worse. And yes, they do think they're bigger than the club. But the thing is, they' they're kind of being allowed to be bigger than the club. They're allowed to contradict their contracts.
00:26:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:26:53
Jo
They're allowed to go on strike. They're allowed to just go off and train wherever they want. They're allowed to do this, do that. However, it was flicked on the other way around. The club can't do to them without being absolutely slated for it. I mean, what they're doing at the club, they they do have the power and they know they've got the power. And guess what? As a human being, if you're given the power, most will abuse it. It's as simple as that. It's not just in the footballing world.
00:27:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
I would.
00:27:11
Jo
This is just the world, isn't it? So that's where we're going. See, straight off. But it's true, isn't it? It's human nature.
00:27:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
If had a ridiculous amount of money, yeah, course.
00:27:16
Jo
If you're given the power, but if you someone says to you, you can do what the hell you want, you'd mint, I'll do the what the hell I want then.
00:27:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
there's footballers who are now buying clubs for worth more than what clubs are worth.
00:27:22
Jo
Most people would. So...
00:27:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Modric has got a stake in Swansea.
00:27:28
Jo
Disgusting, man.
00:27:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Pogba's got a stake in a club. Fabregas has got a stake in Como or something. He's a manager as well. Henri's got a stake in a club. There's so many current players and ex-players now who are richer than actual clubs.
00:27:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we're getting...
00:27:40
Jo
Because they get paid.
00:27:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're getting to a point where it's it's becoming a little bit of a power struggle. and
00:27:45
Nicola Pringle-Adams
It's awful.
00:27:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
i think, after listening to you guys, I Wissler I would still love because he's a fantastic player, but it is a bit of I think i don't think Howell like what he's doing.
00:27:50
Jo
Mm-hmm.
00:27:52
Nicola Pringle-Adams
No.
00:27:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
think his agent, again, if his agent knows Eddie Howell and knows that he goes on personality, which is, again, it could be a blessing in disguise missing out on players like Pedro and all these because there could be a nightmare in six months of Chelsea refusing to leave and running down the contract.
00:27:53
Jo
Oh. You want to hear that, Jude?
00:28:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
m But like I say, for me, it's just, it's a bit of a red flag and I'm a bit like, oh, please don't do that. Just do it gracefully and come to us and thank Brentford for everything we've done. little like what I want Isaac to do when he goes to Liverpool.
00:28:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
If he goes to Liverpool. Who knows?
00:28:18
Nicola Pringle-Adams
He's going.
00:28:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anyway, lots of discussion.
00:28:21
Jo
go.
00:28:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mason Mount in Newcastle, maybe? Let us know the comments. Connor Gallagher has been linked. Let us know the comments. And Nick picked, who did Nick pick? Nick not pick one. Have you still picked midfielder?
00:28:31
Nicola Pringle-Adams
I said Lucas Fuka.
00:28:31
Jo
She wants Mason.
00:28:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, Paqueta.
00:28:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Yeah.
00:28:32
Jo
She wants Mason.
00:28:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Paqueta, yeah.
00:28:32
Nicola Pringle-Adams
you not listen to me?
00:28:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not really. just switch off when you're talking.
00:28:36
Jo
She can't.
00:28:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you know that seal? That seal just rounding around. When Nick starts talking, that's my brain.
00:28:40
Jo
Oh dear.
00:28:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's just like, yeah, whatever. Keep going. Finished? Yeah, done. I'm only joking, Nick. you know I'm joking. I hope. Yeah, I'm dead. Right, let's end the episode then. Let us know in the comments about what you think of our if our midfield choices.
00:28:52
Jo
It's the eyes.
00:28:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
It'll be really interesting to get some feedback. I know the TikTok comments are really popular, but YouTube not as much.
00:28:58
Nicola Pringle-Adams
cannot wait for you to get hounded about Mason Mount.
00:29:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he's a good player. I'll stand by that.
00:29:04
Jo
Bring it.
00:29:05
Nicola Pringle-Adams
Just like did.
00:29:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then we we want to hear about Rezac's situation. Has it gone too far? Is it a little bit sad now that he doesn't want to be in the region anymore? He's left to go to Spain. Or do are you just completely done with him? Like I see from Newcastle fans. But let's remember at the end of the day, footballers are human beings, regardless of how much power we've got.
00:29:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
So let's just be kind to each other. Anyway, listen again tomorrow.
00:29:22
Nicola Pringle-Adams
You'd be kind to me.
00:29:23

00:29:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Come man.
00:29:32
Jo
No, it's the whole, it is, it's the whole be kind movement. I hate this crap because all you see all over Facebook, be kind. And guess what? It's the most arseist of people who say be kind because they don't even be kind.
00:29:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thanks.
00:29:42
Jo
No, but I love you, man. Stop it. It wasn't against you.
00:29:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I am kind.
00:29:45
Jo

00:29:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Don't be kind. but exactly who you are and see what happens.
