Yeah, look at me, all good. The voice is still a bit croaky, but you know.
Introduction to the Daily Southampton Podcast
00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Southampton, part of the Global Sports Podcast Network. My name is Greg Elliot, and I'm joined by a full house today. Oscar, how you doing?
00:00:20
Oscar
Yeah, not too bad. Thank you.
00:00:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, Zach, you doing all right?
Transfer Market Impact on Southampton
00:00:24
Zak
and could be all good voices still a bit croy but and i but
00:00:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
It is transfer Tuesday, whilst we are still in the month of January. And although it is relatively quiet on the transfer front, we do have a few moving parts to talk about. So I guess that's, let's get it straight to it. Straight to the point we we touched on a bit yesterday, but now it appears to be even more official. Galatasarayev put a six million euro bid in for Cart Walker Peters. And I mean, I think we're all feeling okay about it at least it's some money for him put also a bit sad to see him go oscar are you feeling with that
00:01:05
Oscar
Yeah, I think so. I mean, I think we've, as it stands, we've got ample replacement for him. I think they thought he was probably going to go in the summer, if I'm honest. I think he probably thought that as well, but maybe there wasn't as much interest as maybe everyone thought. So, you know, you've got Sugawara that can come in and play there. Is it a loss? Yes, he's he's probably our best player, but I think we've got enough to to make sure it doesn't do any short-term damage, I would say.
00:01:35
Oscar
You'd rather take the money.
00:01:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, absolutely. Otherwise, they'll be leaving for free in the summer.
Full-back Positions and Potential Recruits
00:01:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Zach, are you feeling like that's fine now? We've got full, I mean, it feels like full backs have been such a strong position for us.
00:01:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Such a deep position for us, buying wise.
00:01:49
Zak
Yeah, I think I just, I have a lot of bad memories of when we did run out of fullbacks and that's probably why we now have an abundance. We've got Wellington on the horizon that supposedly, you know, be might be coming in to do a job. That's kind of what Djuric has sort of alluded to. I'm sad though, I really like Carl Walker Peters as a player, as ah ah as a guy. I know that people seem to think he doesn't put in he's been coasting. although I don't think I've ever really seen that. I think that he's only as good as the players around him. That's been a bit of a struggle. I think he's one of the players that does put in a bit bit more of an effort than others. I think he's conducted himself in the way, you know, when it comes to offers and that kind of stuff very, very professionally. There's been no ridiculous sort of statements. But as I said, when we were there the day or the other day, it very much did seem
00:02:40
Zak
a bit like goodbye. And if that's the case, you know, we'll we have we have even less of the players that made up the time that we went down last time. And I guess it will be another new dawn. But as always in football, it's next man up, innit?
00:02:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that's the the case, I suppose. Another full back potentially out of the door then moving moving swiftly
Uncertainty in Charlie Taylor's Loan Move
00:03:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
on. Charlie Taylor off on loan to maybe Hull, but it seems like he's not sure if he wants to go to Hull and he might go to a different championship club.
00:03:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
it do
00:03:14
Oscar
I think he's probably just waiting to see if any better offers come in, if I'm honest. Strange one, he'd never work with Ruben Sellers, obviously, but maybe some sort of some sort of communications happen between the clubs, I guess.
00:03:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:29
Oscar
I don't know, it's a funny one that I thought he would be, was a bit of a no-brainer. I thought he'd be good experience and and would help out, but just so it hasn't seemed to work for one reason or another with him.
00:03:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:03:38
Oscar
Another failed summer transfer.
00:03:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he didn't seem to click into or get along with Russell Martin particularly and then hasn't really seemed to click with Jurich either, so I don't know.
00:03:52
Oscar
was was there Was there the rumour that he was potentially the player in the Leicester game that didn't get out to the ball?
00:03:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
So you don't see what happens on the scene.
00:03:58
Oscar
Was that was that what people think?
00:04:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
but I mean, I think when you put two and two together that he was very much the only person that didn't make it into a matchday squad for a very long time after that. say So it might well have been based off of a reaction to that. But yeah, that's a bit of a another disappointment from the summer. Zach, you've spoken on how disappointing the summer transfer window was as a whole. this Is this a surprise to see him shipped off already?
Summer Transfer Failures and Team Standing
00:04:29
Zak
Now again, like um other than maybe Archer, we've purchased a few players from teams that have gone down. And shockingly, we are also probably going back down with those said players. I feel like stepping down to championship, almost relegation fighters whole city from Southampton kind of shows you you how far down the pecking order he is.
00:04:55
Zak
in which case, you know, it was just a bit of a... It was a bit of, we are bolstering the ranks for Premier League survival. Everyone kind of thought, well, we've got some OK players in, they did a job last season, but ultimately neither were a part of teams that were relegated, and then they would let go potentially because of wages, end of contract, this and the other.
00:05:14
Zak
It was a bit of ah a a huge... Not a strange one, like I think it would have been a he would have been a useful utility player, but yeah, it's not really done a lot, is it? It's the same as Ben Parrott and Diaz and... You know, I think that's actually probably a bit of a disrespect to Charlie Taylor.
00:05:27
Zak
I think he's probably done a little bit more than where it's in the US, but it's just is what it is.
00:05:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:33
Zak
I'm not really I'm not really fussed. It will be another one of those trivia questions that comes up in about 20 years time about do you remember this person, you know, like when I pointed out to you, Greg, like Stephen Caulker used to play for us ah ah for like six months.
00:05:46
Zak
You were like, have no recollection of that whatsoever. ah I I feel like it very much might be like, oh yeah, he played for us at some point, but it's going to be in between.
00:05:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah. is it a Is it a strange move for him to be going out back on loan? Does that mean that he's potentially someone we're going to be having in the championship for us next season?
00:06:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that's where that comes into play?
00:06:09
Zak
Do you
Loan Strategies and Financial Decisions
00:06:09
Zak
think that Ben Barrett and Diaz is going out on loan to come back?
00:06:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
No,
00:06:14
Zak
What do you think that's?
00:06:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's just bizarre. Such a strange way of doing things.
00:06:17
Zak
it's recoeping it's recouping the losses, giving the players the game time and trying to probably get some of their wages off the books because as a we'll probably talk about in a wildcard episode, maybe potentially it might overlap a little bit here with just kind of the back of an interview with soli and he was talking about how, well, Ivan's got a really hard time because he's trying to use a team that was built for Greg's favourite thing, a philosophy, and none of those players can play outside of that philosophy.
00:06:48
Zak
So lots of opinions, I think.
00:06:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:49
Zak
But again, it's just, I wish him well. I don't have any ill will to talk to the guy. But yeah, it will be, if if he's upset that the only players come in, the only club that's come in his whole city, that says it all to me.
00:07:02
Zak
done it ready
00:07:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
OK, so we've got a couple more names on on the list to get round to, but first it's time for a message from our partners at Zencaster. So here at the Global Sports Podcast Network, we spent a lot of time selecting our delivery platform and Zencaster came out the clear winner.

Shay Charles' Recall from Loan
00:07:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so i've I've actually only got two left on my list, which is a bit concerning at the end of the month, but I'm sure we'll we've got other bits to talk about. But in a bit of a strange, or strange to me, I guess there's some some sense about planning there. Shay Charles now back out on loan to Sheffield Wednesday after dramatically being recalled about an hour before the deadline. Zach, make it make sense?
00:08:03
Zak
It's not weird at all. They were really worried that Big Lez was going to get recalled. If Chelsea did recall him, that would leave us with small bone and a Rebo in the middle, potentially Lallana for the five minutes of the game that he's got. It would leave our midfield a little bit light.
00:08:21
Zak
They were just, you know, probably another reason we've gone in for another player in Grumpback. But yeah, obviously we've hit with that transfer confirmed as well, is he going to set the bench for the rest of the season? Most likely. is it make Does it make more sense to send him back to a place that he's having a lot of fun and doing well at?
00:08:38
Zak
yes is it better than doing the really trolly thing that was potentially on the cards which is sent him to Sheffield United alongside the Auschwitz I can imagine somebody being brought back off of loan for it to like Portsmouth and then send them to Southampton that's like nuts
00:08:47
Oscar
This.
00:08:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
in the same season as well that's called
00:08:54
Zak
right yeah exactly so yeah it will probably be a good thing for him if it if it transpires that by some miracle Sheffield Wednesday could find enough money I don't know through crowdfunding which is one of the things they were doing to be able to purchase him at some point it will be what it will
00:09:13
Zak
But you know I think he'll be able to do a good job for us next year and he'll have that solid experience in the championship. But I think it it makes sense from a developmental point of view.
00:09:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
in the same season as well.
00:09:21
Zak
i makes sense It makes sense as to why they record him also because I know it feels weird, but Greg, we we we have discussed intensively. how how much there has been a lack of pre-planning for anything that's happened in this season from the club in general and that is a little bit of foresight that they showed so I can't really go I'm really really mad at their foresight because it's the only bit of foresight they've shown so I think it actually makes a lot more sense than you think.
00:09:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. No, you're right.
00:09:49
Zak
You the same Oscar?
00:09:50
Oscar
i think I think there was some discussion that supposedly which actually you know maybe bit financially savvy for for once that they were they started off a bidding war for it so they basically ramped up a bit of a price for his second loan move and use Sheffield United coming in as a bit of it maybe they got into Chris Wilder's ear and got him to chuck a few words in but yeah I think they used it to make a bit more money on it supposedly that's that's what you know a few people have mentioned I don't know if it's true but if that's the case then fair play
00:10:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, every little helps at this point, presumably, looking likely that we're going to lose quite a bit of income next season. So bracing ourselves for that, I guess, makes sense. um um Okay, and so the last name on my list, I guess we should save until after a message from our partners at the Global Sports Podcast Network.

Toopu Ohanachu's Team Role and Transfer Talk
00:11:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, and a name, finally, that's been on all of the transferred lists and rumours since the beginning of time, it seems. Toopu Ohanachu, who's actually become quite a mainstay in the first team, Pasiktas are now apparently ready to ramp up their bid to sign him. So with all of the the excitement and fervour that ramping up a bid can bring,
00:11:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you think that something at this point will entertain Oscar or do you think he's actually become so ingrained in the team that it's important now to keep him?
00:11:37
Oscar
I think i would if if the money's right, I would i would i would do it. i mean Don't get me wrong, he's useful for what he's useful for, but didn't really touch on it too much yesterday. If you can hit his head, he might score. But other than that, his movement yesterday, like you watch him in the box, they're getting their head up looking and he's just standing there. He goes nowhere near the ball. you know Don't get me wrong, i'd love I'd love him to succeed. He's got good chest control, he's got quite good feet. but he's not a target man for me. So I think if there's something in the pipeline to replace him, and maybe we sought that before we let him go, then I'm quite happy with that. And like an example might be, i' I've seen that Brighton are still looking to ship out Evan Ferguson on loan for the rest of the season. That might be one that, you know, is that something the sort of calibre we're going to be looking for? A younger player?
00:12:32
Oscar
know, it's not what you want to hang your hat on, but is he going to be any worse than what we've had so far? It's a question I'd ask.
00:12:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he would be ah ah almost too good of a signing to consider coming to us, I think is the the realistic outcome of that unfortunately.
00:12:44
Oscar
that yeah I don't disagree, but as as alone until the end of the season, we've got a Premier League spot. You know, where else are you going that haven't got an established striker? Leicester, maybe, I suppose.
00:12:57
Oscar
I think a lot of the clubs have, ah ah there's no one I can think of off the top of my head that are completely lacking. So maybe it's one that does make sense just down the road as well.
00:13:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
fingers crossed. Zach, would you be sad to see Toolport go? Or are we still firmly of the opinion that he's really not quite good enough?
00:13:14
Zak
How many goals has he got for the club in the time that he's played quick?
00:13:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
He got that one goal.
00:13:20
Zak
Right, what's his position?
00:13:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Stryker.
00:13:24
Zak
Right.
00:13:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:13:25
Zak
We used to mug off Shane Long because he'd go a year without scoring, but they did score important vital goals. Now, I don't want to mug off. adubachi You can tell he actually cares about being here. You can tell he cares about the fans and the support. I also feel like he would have a better time in Turkey. So if he goes, he goes. I would probably let him go even without a replacement because at the end of the day, it needs to be about next season.
00:13:47
Zak
and if we're going to let him go now, if we don't start a replacement and it is what it is, we've got potentially other strikers. you know if If we're talking about confident strikers, if we're only we're stuck with only Cameron Archer, he's the only one that's actually going to be able to do anything. you know it's It's one of those things that it it It would be a sad end to the story, but it will still be significantly more hopeful than had he gone and not managed to get a game, which is why it probably would have been under Martin. I reckon he would have probably persisted a little bit and then decided to switch things back to what he was used to. And then he would have gone to Turkey without even like a thought. He's had a run of games. He's going to be able to look back and say he's played in the Premier League. He's now able to look back and say he scored in the Premier League. like
Financial and Strategic Challenges for Southampton FC
00:14:36
Zak
Yeah, it will be it will be what it will be, but when we bought him, we bought him as like fifth or sixth choice because everyone else that we wanted to buy, we were beaten to. It was last minute.
00:14:47
Zak
The first thing we saw was a highlight, like a hat trick of the strangest goals that I think I've ever seen in Belgian football. We thought he'd have a good go. He played 11 games for us and didn't. He went on alone.
00:14:58
Zak
He's come back. He's tried his best. He's a nice guy, but
00:15:01
Oscar
I think that was a genuine contender for the worst hat trick I've ever seen in my life.
00:15:05
Zak
Yeah, right, that's that's the thing.
00:15:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. yeah
00:15:08
Zak
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't it doesn't it's not like a personal thing, it's just that, is it? Are we really going to be pinning all of our hopes on him? No, probably not. Was it nice to see him like do some step overs against Liverpool and chess of the ball and beat loads of other players?
00:15:23
Zak
Yeah, it was good fun. if they're going to bid more than we paid for it, should we take it? Absolutely. And then plan for next season.
00:15:29
Zak
and Do I think that Evan Ferguson will come here from Brighton? I would love to see it. Do I think Brighton are going to let anyone near our team, not with a barge pole, especially with, well, one, then at the background South Coast rivalry where we're actually just quite amicable because it's it's not weird like it is with Bournemouth.
00:15:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
miles away.
00:15:48
Zak
or And on top of that, yeah, on top of that, why would you want to send a young striker to a place that is not getting goals unless you are convinced that the quality around him is going to result in him being able to score goals? If not, it's just going to result in him being sad and having a bad time. And I don't want to be but that harsh on our team, but again, our biggest creative outlet at the moment is our defenders.
00:16:16
Oscar
Yeah, that is true.
00:16:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:17
Zak
But, you know, stranger things have happened, you know, last season Brighton had one of the best wonder kids in the world from Barcelona randomly come to them on the season long loan.
00:16:28
Zak
So, I don't know, it's football's weird, man.
00:16:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe.
00:16:31
Oscar
yeah And Bournemouth gave us David Brooks last year, year, our fierce rivals.
00:16:34
Zak
ah Even more strange, like, fierce, fierce, fierce rivals that we really, really dislike.
00:16:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. sir Yeah, it's a strange one. All right, well, that is the end of names on my list, but before we wrap up, I did want to think about, or maybe...
00:16:48
Zak
I've got one or two things that I think we've not mentioned.
00:16:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go on then,
00:16:50
Zak
but okay um so so we We've brought a couple of a scene we brought in some of the youngsters that are going to come play and we don't know when potentially they're going to come play. Somebody was floating the idea around of obviously Don Ballard's been pulled back. One of the things we talked about, Greg, is when it's mathematically confirmed we're going down, at that point we could start playing some of the players that we've brought back and players we've got in the youth to just see see what they can do because like what we got to lose at this point, you know.
00:17:23
Zak
but best best outcome, they scored two goals, we win a game accidentally. Happy days is a bit of confidence. I think that you know we have we have younger players than that probably our due ago.
00:17:37
Zak
Dibbling this season was not something that we were thinking about in July last year. He wasn't even really something we were thinking about in August. It was an off comment from Russell Martin.
00:17:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
no not until like the friendly against easily where it really sort of stood out as someone that could do a bit yeah
00:17:54
Zak
But like it yeah but that you and even then, you've got to take that with a pinch of salt, because it was easily. yeah So you know that there's potentially there's always potentially hidden gems in our own our own youth squad. And like that's what they want us to be about. And I'm not saying that we become just a selling club. like ah ah It doesn't matter.
00:18:11
Zak
I don't think any of those philosophies are actually what people how people run football clubs to be honest but in when it comes to You know, we're so worried about in go into the outcomes and stuff like let's actually start looking into the people that are doing well in our own backyard, right?
00:18:27
Zak
maybe Tyler diplings are one in a just sort of generation and maybe we're not going to find others but we're never going to know unless we try them and I think that and the other is
00:18:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think Sam and MMA all can be do less on the pitch than Adam Armstrong achieved yesterday.
00:18:39
Zak
It's kind of where I'm at. It's kind of mad to me that, know, and then we're going to start sending all them out on loan and loans and like, look how well Shay Charles has done at Sheffield Wednesday. You may become like a cult sort of hero there. He was in the championship with us last season. So there are, you know, we purchased a lot of these players during a time where Tactically we decided to go for youth during in the Premier League, which became a problem But they are all good players with potential and we're starting to see that we've got other players that are still out on loan You know a dozy's playing in the Champions League as much as we as much as it's with an and elect He's still playing in the Champions League. So
00:19:16
Zak
you know and flip side of that we've got our sister club over in turkey that absolutely flying high you know we take some of that good vibes you know we've already we've handed them a load of our players on load and you know we they had a goalkeeper off of us that was clearly just a way of getting around some weird financial rules right in it less so why can't it work both ways
00:19:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:19:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I don't know. Is that too much of a step up to come from the Turkish League to here?
00:19:44
Oscar
I think, evidence by Puornavaciu, probably, yeah.
Potential Player Departures at Season's End
00:19:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:19:49
Oscar
He's banging goals in the Turkish League and then can't buy one here, so, well, he's got one, but...
00:19:53
Zak
And then, but I think the mad thing about that is look how many players are now going out to Turkey from the other leagues. And, you know, even, you know, circling back to the beginning of our episode, Greg, you were talking about Carl Walker Peters going to Galatasaray. You know, I don't think that we were talking yesterday that we we thought he would, you know, go to a club of big stature that, you know, and they are a big stature in Turkey, but it's one of those things where like,
00:20:22
Zak
I think that league is becoming slightly more popular and slightly more competitive. you know You've got managers like Jose over there and now as well. so i don i like be i Where else are we going to get players from? and it's It's got to be better than than what we've done this season, which is buy a bunch of players from teams that have been that have also dropped out of the Premier League.
00:20:45
Zak
And shockingly, they are now in a team that is probably also going to drop out of the Premier League. And I very much doubt we're going to entice anyone from the cities and stuff. So you know maybe it's just actually improving our scouting network is another big, big part.
00:20:58
Oscar
thats i think I think the tricky part with it is if you actually look at the players that we've got and we're going to have left at the end of the season. What do we need? Like, what do we need further than what we've got that's not going to compete in the championship?
00:21:12
Oscar
I almost think we've already got a squad good enough to compete in there, maybe a couple of extra bits and pieces.
00:21:12
Zak
and
00:21:17
Oscar
But do you want to then spend that money that in two years time, if the best happens and we do well in the championship, again, we're looking to come up, we can't spend because we've spent all the money on players we don't really need, or we've blocked off the pathway for someone like Sam and Miami, which I know they're quite keen on not doing in general.
00:21:35
Oscar
blocking pathways so that's why I think it's so tricky you know you want to go in and get a striker we've got Adam Armstrong there that it was the second top scorer in the championship last year so who'd you get that you you go look in the championship for a striker what's the point right we know that we've got someone for school goals in the championship but they can't make that step up
00:21:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is Ross Stewart going to be finally fit by the time we get back to the championship? do we think is is that
00:22:00
Zak
one of our is as bad as fit as one larry orm you yeah think youre I think you're right.
00:22:07
Oscar
Yeah.
00:22:08
Zak
There's been there's been business over time and and and it's it's difficult because we want to be excited for who we're going to bring in and and the the players that potentially we're going to bring in. But it's exactly that, is that the reason we're constantly in a predicament is because of that, well, we need to bring this in now and then we're lumped with an Onuachi who, yeah, okay, he's trying to he's trying to prove his worth now.
00:22:23
Oscar
yeah Yeah, I think with that, with Stewart and Sulemana, Sulemana recently they've come out and said maybe had a long term injury.
00:22:27
Zak
but still been It's still been a problem. you know There's lots of problems.
00:22:36
Oscar
They're obviously trying to box clever because financially, you know, are we in a position we can compete to spend silly amounts of money on players? No. So, you know, it worked with Danny Ings. We gambled on a player that had a bad injury record and was probably one of our better signings in most recent history. So we're going to have, you know, we gambled on Sulimana maybe, maybe it's another gamble on someone. It's not an ideal thing, I know, but that's why the price was slightly less, I guess.
00:23:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's interesting. well Our medical team continue to be some of the most overworked in the Premier League, that's for sure.
00:23:13
Zak
Just open up a hospital mate. Any player that's got a long-term injury that thinks they can come back and do a job can get free medical care, but they must sign a contract to stay their stay for 12 months.
00:23:24
Zak
Especially after how how annoyed I was at Livromeno being given it the given like give it it give it all the the ag at the Newcastle game. We're like, mate, the only reason you're still playing football is because you were laid up in our physio office for about a year and a half.
00:23:37
Zak
So, either way, exciting.
00:23:39
Oscar
do Who do you think, actually, looking at it, who do you think leaves from the next season at the beginning of the year? Because that's another thing to to factor in.
00:23:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
i Don't think I think we'll struggle to keep my Fernandez Yeah Maybe No, but he will have aspirations of getting to the Premier League and getting in the England mix more I would think so there's a chance he'll go if an offer comes and
00:23:53
Oscar
Yeah, I think Fernando's, for me, Walker Peters, I think, will already be gone.
00:23:58
Oscar
Harwood Bellis, he's not exactly covering himself in glory recently.
00:23:58
Zak
No, I think it would stay.
00:24:13
Zak
I think it would stay, because who else is going to offer him the game time and be such a solid piece of the puzzle in the Premier League?
00:24:13
Oscar
But this is it as well.
00:24:21
Zak
You know, especially, especially, you know, Jan staying here probably until he is retiring at this point. could see a Rebo leaving. He's been very, very hot and cold and I don't think he probably wants to be here forever, our most.
00:24:33
Oscar
He's actually, I think everybody's been linked this week because they're saying he's got a year left in his contract, so they're going to try and cash in. I'd forgotten about that one. So they're going to try and potentially chi cash in in the summer. So that wouldn't be the end of the world.
00:24:44
Zak
Uh, we already discussed when Larry was potentially out the door at the end of his contract or earlier to potentially go somewhere else.
00:24:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:24:51
Zak
Ross, we're going to be, you know, Sillamata depends if this injury gets any worse, right.
00:24:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Suleimata. Hmm.
00:24:57
Zak
Uh, you know, and this is the problem with leaking that kind of stuff out of the club, which is, I guess, sometimes beneficial. Cause if it does, if it has come out, that this is a problem, who's going to want to risk that gamble apart from someone else in a league that he probably doesn't want to be in.
00:25:10
Zak
Uh,
00:25:11
Oscar
Dibbling is obviously heavily linked, but I can't see him moving abroad if he struggled to settle in at Chelsea, moving in settling in in another in another country. you know It could be wrong, but he could have a good season in the championship, to be fair to him.
00:25:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it would benefit him tremendously to stick with us in a place where he's comfortable and is going to be the probably at that point a big fish in a little pond realistically.
00:25:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
i think that'll do his career the world of good and I hope that he sees that too and sticks with it but I could also if the money comes in like we've named the price of 55 million also we'd be stupid to turn that down whoever wants to pay it realistically so yeah I don't know it's gonna be interesting and probably deeply upsetting either way but yeah
00:25:51
Oscar
Yeah.
00:26:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
There we go.
