Latest / Draft Offsides Podcast / #76 Juicy Transfer Window Options
Transcript
- 0:00I really have friendships with predicated off like kind of
- 0:02being mean to each other actually, when you really think
- 0:04about it, what's. Funny is football is what
- 0:06brought us together, but that's the only how we argue.
- 0:15Hello, and welcome to episode 76 of Draft Offsides.
- 0:17I'm with Tico Enzo. My name is Keith.
- 0:19All right, let's get into some matchups then.
- 0:21It's a big week just because the transfer window finally closed
- 0:24and there's some really juicy propositions out there.
- 0:27And for people with fab left and people and with high waiver
- 0:31priority, it's probably a really exciting time.
- 0:33Yeah, we know the rest of us, we're just looking through the
- 0:35window, looking through the glass window looking in at you
- 0:37guys right now. But let's get into it.
- 0:40So kicking in games, the big the first game of the week was that
- 0:4447 Brighton zero. What do we call it?
- 0:47An anger bang for. Anger Bang.
- 0:49Just were pissed off after losing 5 O the week prior and
- 0:53smashed them. It's I mean Brenton's been
- 0:56decent I mean. But also it just feels like it's
- 0:58a young coach and kind of naive. I think he started like how many
- 1:01fours did he start like that? His lineup was really wonky and
- 1:04against the fours team they were going to get crushed.
- 1:06I think the big call outs are Wood with a hat trick.
- 1:10Pretty amazing. I mean, he just continues to be
- 1:13everything. MVP.
- 1:15Yeah, OK, I'm starting to come around to that.
- 1:18Anthony Langa with a hat trick of assists.
- 1:21Yep. I was listening to a guy talking
- 1:23about Gibbs White saying that Gibbs White is one of that was
- 1:26one of the best performances he's ever put in.
- 1:29Solid. I mean, there's not much to say
- 1:30about it. I think there's better days for
- 1:32Brighton. There's players who want there,
- 1:33but this was not the game and it really sucked if you started any
- 1:36sort of Brighton. Overall, what were Forest the
- 1:39amount they scored with with being 7 nil?
- 1:42They all got a piece of the pie. For the most part, there was.
- 1:44Everyone. Everyone got points.
- 1:45Yeah, yeah. Anything else there?
- 1:47Can we move on? Minta 14.5 points.
- 1:50Oh yeah, we were. We went back and were trying to,
- 1:52I was trying to do the math on that.
- 1:53It was two shots on target, two key passes, 5 successful
- 1:58dribbles and three tackles 1. To get 14 points in the seven
- 2:01nil loss, that's pretty fucking. Impressive.
- 2:03I've always, I think we've talked about mental a lot, Like
- 2:06I just, it's just, for me, it's just him starting.
- 2:08If he starts games, I think he's worth having.
- 2:10He's pretty, he's pretty fun to watch and pretty exciting.
- 2:12He has been since like the first game of the season.
- 2:14Yeah. It's just a matter of like
- 2:15putting it together or getting the starts.
- 2:18OK, Next game, another drubbing Everton for Leicester 0.
- 2:24I think the biggest thing for me in this game was Beto came on
- 2:27after the the, the Calvin Lewin injury and sort of brace.
- 2:31And, you know, he's a there's a good player in there.
- 2:34Like everybody played a lot of money for him.
- 2:35He was pretty good. I think he was in Italy before
- 2:37and had some really good performances and they're not
- 2:40really highly of him. So if he can kind of just get
- 2:42through that mental block 'cause he had like one of the biggest
- 2:44cold droughts ever earlier in the season and going into last
- 2:47year too. Yeah.
- 2:48So if he now that he's kind of in this new space, I think he
- 2:51could pretty be pretty well he's.
- 2:53Definitely going to get games. He's definitely games.
- 2:55He's going to get time to prove himself.
- 2:56Honestly, already him scoring a brace, he's already better than
- 2:59than Calvert. So yeah, he just needs to stay
- 3:01on top of it. Yeah, and the same thing with
- 3:03Everton as with Forest in the previous game where like pretty
- 3:06much everyone ate except for the guy that I started, Lindstrom,
- 3:09he did not eat, He he fasted. But you know, Tarkowski got
- 3:14points and got points. Garner just came back from
- 3:16injury, got 19.75 points. He's so you haven't know about.
- 3:21Is he like the Dwight of the team?
- 3:22He actually plays a lot deeper. Dwight was kind of playing as
- 3:25like a 10 or a left wing where Carter plays.
- 3:27He's like a creative six. Yeah, so.
- 3:30But yeah. And then another, another shot
- 3:32is O'Brien got to start again over young, and that's now three
- 3:36in a row. Four in a row.
- 3:38Yeah, I just, I think Young's done.
- 3:40I think Young's done too. I have O'Brien on waivers, I
- 3:42think. Again, I'm not sure he was on
- 3:43the last week, but we could talk a little bit more in depth
- 3:46there, but that's only something.
- 3:47Note next game. Bournemouth 0 Liverpool 220 plus
- 3:52goals and five plus seasons for Salah.
- 3:54He's joined great company in the Prem.
- 3:56Do you remember some of the names that have also done that?
- 3:58Harry Kane, Alan Shearer, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry.
- 4:04I think Les Ferdinand, maybe during his time at Newcastle, I
- 4:08think Ronnie. Wamby, Wamby.
- 4:10Or maybe I don't. I don't know if Ray Rooney ever
- 4:13did that. What?
- 4:14About Ronaldo, I'm pretty. I also don't know if Ronaldo
- 4:16because he wasn't really a pure goal scorer back in the day like
- 4:19he was at Real Madrid. He was more of a winger, you
- 4:21know, the assisting winner winger and stuff.
- 4:24Interesting goals but I'm not pull up Bruni, just see if he's
- 4:26done it or not real quick. I think some of the other key
- 4:29things were I actually thought Bournemouth didn't look that bad
- 4:32in this game. This got kind of unlucky.
- 4:33They hit the post like twice at least.
- 4:36Yeah, a couple like good saves from Allison were made like I'm
- 4:40not, I'm not worried about Bournemouth at all.
- 4:43Oh it. Looks like there's only about
- 4:44four guys with that that 20 it's Alan Shiro, Tierra, Rhee Aguero
- 4:48and Harry Kane. Yeah, wow, Rooney only hit, did
- 4:51it twice. Yeah, crazy.
- 4:53Yeah, I mean, we're entering a new era, I feel like with these
- 4:57guys, what's going on, let's keep it possible.
- 5:01Obviously we thought, yeah, Salah with the two goals had 30
- 5:03plus points. Another one is Trent came off in
- 5:07like the 70th minute. I thought they were just subbed
- 5:09because they it was a small lead and Bradley was coming in just
- 5:13to do that. But it turns out later that it
- 5:14was some sort of injury that he felt.
- 5:16But the good news is it's there like a week and 1/2 until the
- 5:18next game. So they're saying that he might
- 5:20even play in the the second match of the game week, which
- 5:24cuz it's in 10 days or 11 days. But I wouldn't, I'm not like I'm
- 5:28not betting on that. But I don't think they're
- 5:30thinking it's not that big a deal for Trent.
- 5:32But the good news is with Bradley, you don't feel, you
- 5:35know, you don't feel that bad, you don't.
- 5:37Feel that bad if you pick him up, What do you think about
- 5:38that? Penalty.
- 5:39Well you can't pick him up because it's mid game week.
- 5:42Oh, it's mid game week, everything's locked.
- 5:44Everything is locked in, so if it's not your no.
- 5:46But but there is a waiver, the waiver period and something we
- 5:52it's, it's going to be weird this week because I was looking
- 5:54on my fingers that the waiver, the waivers will go through
- 5:57tomorrow. But I don't think it would would
- 5:59go for Liverpool or Everton players.
- 6:01Because you already started that.
- 6:03Yeah, maybe you already started the player.
- 6:05Yeah, maybe those maybe those guys are locked longer
- 6:08something, I don't know, but I guess we'll see how it plays
- 6:11out. It's.
- 6:12Going to be interesting. I don't think you can do the way
- 6:14with wide form, but they won't drop until after that loss.
- 6:16Maybe maybe. I think that's kind of it on the
- 6:21Allison at 17 points, just a clean sheet obviously.
- 6:23And then he actually, I mean, that's I think that's a
- 6:24testament to how good Bournemouth played.
- 6:26Yeah, but they he has he was forced actually into a lot of
- 6:29saves, a lot of actions. Anything else there?
- 6:32Gaco 14.5 points averaging points per game at last seven is
- 6:3618.6. Yeah.
- 6:38What could you get from Gaco, do you think?
- 6:40I mean, it's so weird. Like that seems so weird now
- 6:43with Luis Diaz, Gaco Bull starting.
- 6:45I don't. I don't.
- 6:46Think Gaco is performing? You know who keep who kept like
- 6:49trying to give him to me for weeks?
- 6:51Wasn't Nate? Fucking Nate.
- 6:52And actually he. Didn't listen.
- 6:53Took it. No, I didn't listen.
- 6:55Yeah. Can I go let's go through gap
- 6:58gap post game log real quick. Fourteen and a half
- 7:013311.7512.7513.7515.5 and 29 solid.
- 7:09That's an insane I. Mean more than solid.
- 7:11Like, yeah, it's like a elite. And it would cause it is Diaz is
- 7:15playing up top now and Gaco playing.
- 7:16We're on the left. So you see Diaz's scoring has
- 7:19gone down, but at the same time, you know, Cody's been eating.
- 7:21So it's kind of whoever's whoever's hotter at the point, I
- 7:24guess. Yeah, yeah, I think that's it
- 7:27there. Bournemouth, just hold the
- 7:28pieces. I don't think you're that upset
- 7:30about anything. You know the the guys that are
- 7:33swearing, they're still going to swear.
- 7:35Our next game it's been Ipswich 1, Southampton 2 on a Nacho, 2
- 7:41point, 21.25 points, 7% owned the lap, 16 points, got a goal.
- 7:46Good for him. I think the biggest thing for me
- 7:48here just was like in CSO coming in, he did play, play decently,
- 7:52obviously didn't get any returns like goals and assists, but he
- 7:54still managed to get 10 points, which is a good a good return
- 7:57all things considered. Yeah, I'm, I'm keeping an eye on
- 8:00that one. Me too pre share.
- 8:02Now we can see if he gets more game time, like for 10 points is
- 8:05is a good start and I think he can he can he can produce more.
- 8:09We know he's creative. We know he can score goals and
- 8:10create goals. So let's see what we can do in
- 8:12his. It's whether or not him and the
- 8:14lap can get that sort of chemistry and they can get
- 8:18going. Yeah, South Hampton.
- 8:20I'm I'm not sick and I I know that there's been a few players
- 8:22that have been popping up with points for them.
- 8:24I'm not on the train of getting them though.
- 8:27I just think they're not. I just stick here and how did
- 8:29the. Offender do What was his name?
- 8:32Bednar And then I didn't check for this week.
- 8:36He got minus, He got he Well, he didn't, he didn't get no minus
- 8:39points because there's only one goal, right?
- 8:41So 8.5 yeah, 8.5 respectable. Respectable.
- 8:44Yeah, Yeah. Continues to be respectful.
- 8:46Yeah. All right.
- 8:48Next game, Newcastle 1, Fulham 2.
- 8:50Fulham continues to steal from the rich and middle class.
- 8:53Yeah, soon they're going to start getting greedy.
- 8:55They're going to start stealing from the poor too.
- 8:57Man telling you? Yeah, I mean, they've been they
- 9:01they look pretty good. I mean they.
- 9:03They dominated the second-half. Yeah, they kind of like.
- 9:06The second-half. They deserved it.
- 9:08It wasn't like a smashing grab by any means.
- 9:09You. Know No, it definitely was a
- 9:10smashing grab. Like even Jimenez.
- 9:12I don't even got one goal, but he he looked dangerous in the
- 9:15box like he missed a couple sitters.
- 9:17You know what I mean? Yeah, his first goal in four
- 9:18games. Good to see he had 19 points.
- 9:21The assist was from young Jedi American Anthony Robinson, which
- 9:25is his 10th assist of the season.
- 9:28Only the 7th defender to hit double digit digits assists in
- 9:31prime history, and he has 14 more games to go.
- 9:34What's? The record for a defender.
- 9:36You think you guys, it has to be Trent must have it.
- 9:38You must have it right, Trent or friggin what's his name?
- 9:41Right back for Trippier. Trippier had to go to a lot,
- 9:45yeah. Trent 13.
- 9:47Trent 13 So I mean, he's, he's definitely terrible.
- 9:51Robinson's on pace to crush. That Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry,
- 9:53Trent and Antonio Valencia tied for 13 so.
- 9:56I've got about. Antonio Valencia yeah, but I
- 10:00mean, this is a good game. The pieces here, the pieces
- 10:02here, I don't think anything like stood out as exceptional.
- 10:05Murphy got some good points here as well.
- 10:06He continues to kind of just be relevant.
- 10:09Like not not sensational, not like this person that wows you,
- 10:13but he's just relevant. He just shows up.
- 10:15So you got to like that next game.
- 10:18Wolves 2 Villa zero walking subbed at halftime due to a
- 10:22tweak. I How are you guys feeling?
- 10:24Both you guys own them in different leagues and you just
- 10:25really just, has this been just the pain in your painting, your
- 10:29side? Yeah, man, he left the game with
- 10:32minus points, the bastard. And I'm playing.
- 10:34I'm playing against Tico and it was even more who has.
- 10:38Four players playing twice. It's just been.
- 10:40It's been. Tough like the strikers like him
- 10:43and have us, I put them in the same sort of mode, like I don't
- 10:46know who's showing up what week and what points they're going to
- 10:48put up. Because when they put up points,
- 10:50they put up double digits, you know, I mean, but again, they
- 10:52have to score a goal. They're not getting it much
- 10:54else. Yeah.
- 10:57I mean, I think the Watkins it's just hasn't been.
- 11:00I mean, last season he probably over performed where he should
- 11:03and could and this season he's probably underperformed.
- 11:05I think the the true Watkins is somewhere in the middle there,
- 11:07you know? But what I would say is for this
- 11:10year, I thought the goals would be there, but I just didn't
- 11:12think the Sis would be there. So I think that, but the balance
- 11:15hasn't been there. The goals have dropped off
- 11:18drastically and the Sis, obviously we didn't expect much
- 11:20of it. So that's, I think that's where
- 11:22it hurts the most. Yeah, let's see how bad this
- 11:25injury is because they bought a bunch of players, they bought a
- 11:27bunch of creative players. Maybe that can help him get some
- 11:30gulps. Yeah, I think that's, I mean,
- 11:31when you think about like Bailey being so good last year and then
- 11:34Diab, we forget about Diabe being such so lethal last year
- 11:36as well. And so like that's where a lot
- 11:38of the goals and assists came from is to see how those
- 11:40exciting players around them, correct.
- 11:42So I totally agree that I also think we're you can't discount
- 11:45the fact that they're playing in the Champions League for like
- 11:47the first time in a long time. So it's just like that, like the
- 11:51mental toll that takes and the physical toll that takes just
- 11:54those extra games. So it makes sense, but you don't
- 11:57love it. Cunha 19 points got a goal late
- 12:00just to kind of just to kind of tidy it up, put a ball on this
- 12:05game. Well, you kiss the badge and
- 12:07sign a new contract. You'd.
- 12:08Have basically five years. Should have had another he
- 12:12missed like the one you one he slowed down.
- 12:14I don't know if you guys started or not.
- 12:15It was a one-on-one. He slowed down, the defender
- 12:17caught up to him and he just. Martinez made a good safe, but
- 12:20should have had two wolves. Love that guy.
- 12:22Yeah. Kind of only thing to speak
- 12:24there. A good win from the Wolves, much
- 12:26needed auto relegation. Yeah, I don't realize.
- 12:29I mean, they're I think the three teams that went that went
- 12:32up are going down again. Yeah, I really think so.
- 12:35OK, next Brettford 0 Tottenham 2 Enzo.
- 12:39Let's go finally, man. They're back.
- 12:42Good. We're back, baby.
- 12:44I sound so comfortable when I say that.
- 12:47Drag us in with a 20 CL at rest of the season.
- 12:50That's the that is the try. Yeah, it sort is, but honestly,
- 12:54I've been watching play he's had, he's up and down, up and
- 12:57down. Good game back in quick game,
- 12:58back in back in back in, good game.
- 13:00Van de Ven's back, right? Van de Ven's back, but let's see
- 13:02how long his hamstring holds out.
- 13:05We'll see all the sprints. You know Tom does the most
- 13:07sprints in the whole premier. League and we have one of them,
- 13:10you have another defender that's coming in the Dezasi is not
- 13:12coming so you just. Have to be coming.
- 13:14Yeah, we got Danzo. Where's he from?
- 13:18He's from France somewhere. France.
- 13:21I don't know that much about him.
- 13:22We pull a bunch of young players in transfer window to make some
- 13:26cover like Tails. Only 19 from Bayern Munich, so I
- 13:28was. Speaking of young players, Jed
- 13:31Spence, 20.75 points, 13% only. I think he's quickly becoming
- 13:35one of the better defenders. He looks so good.
- 13:37When he plays, yeah, I think he's, I think he's kind of
- 13:40becoming a star son. 16% by points and assists.
- 13:44Any Bradford, like Bradford was pretty shut down like that.
- 13:46That's the thing with Spence too, is like Spence playing that
- 13:48left back role just shut down one more.
- 13:52Yep, completely did item in his pocket.
- 13:55But you know, there's those other players like damn God who
- 13:57got 20.5. He's gonna get your points left
- 13:59right and centre. It doesn't matter what game it
- 14:00is. I think he's quality.
- 14:02If he stays at Brentford for another season, I'll be
- 14:04surprised. Yeah, I mean, he's been there
- 14:06for a minute, but it's just this year seems to really be like
- 14:09he's kind of getting finally getting his flowers and getting
- 14:11unlocked. You know, staying.
- 14:12Just go stay fit, man. Just go stay fit, yeah?
- 14:15That's the biggest thing there. OK, next game United 0, Palace
- 14:182. Let's go to the R reporter on
- 14:21the side. Tico, what do you have to say
- 14:22about this one? Predictable Any, any game United
- 14:26should win coming out because they won't.
- 14:28Last week, coming out for a win, you would think you know some
- 14:30momentum, but obviously you know they do United things and they
- 14:34lose. Alice has been pretty good
- 14:37recently though too. Also I will say the one thing
- 14:40about this game that I just knew was going to be a portable game
- 14:42is the anytime a 352 plays a 352, it just sucks.
- 14:46You know? Like the back 3 was.
- 14:48The back 3 is like never a fun game, you know?
- 14:50And it's like a chess game. Harry King closing the outside,
- 14:53running up and then just giving giving up A1.
- 14:54We've on classic hit Harry Maguire.
- 14:57Fucking guy I was. Like what are you talking about?
- 15:02It's actually hilarious for McGuire to like, Sprint as hard
- 15:04as he can to catch up to a striker.
- 15:05It's one of my favorite things to do because you know there's
- 15:08no chance the strike could be jogging if you like to catch up.
- 15:11When he runs, his head's going all the way back like this.
- 15:13Well, if he puts it forward the moment, he will fall, you know.
- 15:17His head's so big at all this time forward Matata with a brace
- 15:22and 28 point 5.6 goals in his last five.
- 15:24He's on fire, makes Lacroix as we call him, 28.25 points on the
- 15:30on the wing for Palace. Chill.
- 15:32Wells coming there too, so it'll be interesting.
- 15:34There'll be some backup for him as well.
- 15:36Little competition. Munez 20.75 points.
- 15:39I mean, man, the wing backs for Palace, they're like cheat codes
- 15:42right now, beautiful. And the other things that kind
- 15:46of shot at is Diallo 14.75 is the high scoring United player.
- 15:50He's been a good, it's been a good piece for them, yeah.
- 15:52I think he's going to be even better next season.
- 15:54They also started Bruno up top, which something we don't love.
- 15:59Yeah, you know, he was in the he was starting the not Bruno.
- 16:03Maybe it was up top. That was right, it was manual
- 16:05was. Really weird.
- 16:07And Bruno was playing in the six.
- 16:08It was weird. It did, it didn't work.
- 16:09I mean, it was a failed. It was a failed experiment.
- 16:12He's just, he's just experimenting.
- 16:14I, I get the experiment in a lot at the beginning, but he's now
- 16:17what, 10 games in? Is he 10 games in?
- 16:19He's like 10 games in. Right.
- 16:20More than 10. Yeah, he's, he's played seven
- 16:22home games, lost five of them. It's not good, man.
- 16:25Yeah, I mean, I kind of got in some level.
- 16:28You're like, oh, you need to, you need to really strip
- 16:29everything away and then just go from the level, like the service
- 16:32level. But at some point it's like, OK,
- 16:33man, you got to be doing a little better than this.
- 16:36Well, he got them in 13th and they're still in 13th.
- 16:38I think part of it was that United was trying to sell both
- 16:42Hoyland and Xerxi. So I think part of it maybe he
- 16:45didn't want to play them, risk an injury until the transfer
- 16:47window was closed. So we'll see.
- 16:48Maybe next week one of them starts.
- 16:50Sure, that's great. Both of them subbed in though
- 16:52too. But it was like what, the last
- 16:54like 1520 minutes? 20 minutes, Yeah.
- 16:56Yeah, your rationale really is sound and reaching.
- 17:00I, I to me it's, it was, I would think of it more like he that
- 17:03was like a statement to the board that he wanted a new
- 17:05striker. He like, doesn't trust these
- 17:06guys. So he's literally playing like a
- 17:07six. Open 9 would score a brace.
- 17:11But mine actually pretty good. Mine had a pretty good chance
- 17:13earlier, actually. But yeah, I feel the hitter
- 17:15there. The other big news is Lisandro
- 17:18towards ACL. God, he looks.
- 17:19He felt so bad from. Yeah, you just, you knew right
- 17:21away it was bad. It was bad.
- 17:23So you'll see the licked McGuire in there in Europe pretty much.
- 17:28McGuire and Mazrawi. You'll probably have to play
- 17:31some center back as well, huh? Yeah.
- 17:32Yeah. All right.
- 17:34Next game, Arsenal 5, Manchester City one.
- 17:39This was another kind of slacking.
- 17:41Yeah. And it wasn't OK.
- 17:42I wasn't expecting A51, no. I don't think anyone was the the
- 17:46Arsenal fans were gloating. Lewis Kelly did the Holland
- 17:49meditation celebration. I mean, every all the Arsenal
- 17:55players scored well. Did anyone not score well?
- 17:58Probably got Marinelli probably didn't because he's just sucks.
- 18:00But. Timber didn't score well.
- 18:02Freaking guy. Ryo only got 6.75 so he you
- 18:06know. Didn't have much.
- 18:07He came busy. The Defenders did a score well.
- 18:10Leandro Tricard only had 1 1/2 points, but he was fucking
- 18:12playing amazing. Yeah, he was having his way,
- 18:15Yeah. Hubbard 22.75 points he got the
- 18:19goal in the end, but he missed a sitter early.
- 18:21That would have been like one of those ones where people were
- 18:23really, if they would have if the result would have been
- 18:25different, like it was at that time, it was a much tighter game
- 18:27where he missed that. Yeah, you know, and like that
- 18:30would have that would have that could have really fucked him up
- 18:32if you. Really, if you really look at it
- 18:34from the if you take away the goal and assist, don't worry if
- 18:36you, I get it, goal, goal and assist.
- 18:37But if you take away the goal and assist, you really didn't do
- 18:39much that game point wise too much.
- 18:43That's that's the warrior thing we've been.
- 18:44Yeah, let's get us the older guy get a goal to just to get him on
- 18:47the score sheet. It's been a while since he's
- 18:49been contributing kind of at a high level and the last Lewis
- 18:54Kelly got 14 points the way he came on in the last few minutes
- 18:57and scored a goal. What a goal 14.
- 18:59Points. Will they get more minutes?
- 19:03Yeah, more than just. It's just it's just the
- 19:06consistency of those minutes as I think it's the problem.
- 19:09Yeah, how many of them? Yeah, still no striker.
- 19:11I still, I kind of agree with you.
- 19:12And so I I'm pretty shocked they didn't bring anyone in in
- 19:14January. I guess we're going to have to
- 19:16just make do I? I feel like that to me shows a
- 19:18lack of ambition. I feel like like PSG had had
- 19:21shopped around Mulaney. I think Mulaney could have
- 19:23worked from honestly, because he could play the forward and off
- 19:27the wing. So if they could have rotated, I
- 19:29just feel like there was opportunities there for Arsenal
- 19:31to buy strikers. I know they're they're hard to
- 19:34come by, but I think that was there's players out there for
- 19:38them to try at least make an effort.
- 19:39You know what? I mean, yeah, make an effort.
- 19:41I kind of feel the same way Next game, Chelsea 2, West Ham one
- 19:46the big news coming to the game was Sanchez was benched for
- 19:49Philip Jorgensen. I think Sanchez, yeah.
- 19:51I mean, the same thing happened last year with Petrovich coming.
- 19:55So I think that Chelsea is just really about re evaluating that
- 19:57whole keeper situation. It's it's it's been holding
- 20:00dark. But all that being said, it
- 20:02didn't matter because they considered a goal due to a
- 20:05defensive mistake from Levi Cohen.
- 20:07Game pretty much handed a goal to bow and he still obviously
- 20:09scored well. He had 21.25 points on his back.
- 20:12Yeah, so that's huge. Cole Palmer with 15.5 points, he
- 20:16got an assist off his block, like a shot that was going wide.
- 20:21And yeah, Wabasaka deflected in the goal for the game winner.
- 20:25He looked good, man. He looks, he just he's so
- 20:28relaxed when he. Plays you are relaxed.
- 20:31What I noticed was that he was dropping way deeper to receive
- 20:34the ball, which I think is good, but like, I also don't know if
- 20:37it's that great because that means he's further away from
- 20:39goal, you know? It's because he's got Enzo
- 20:42Fernandez pushing so far up and then Kukarella playing inverted
- 20:45and Reese James coming up that right wing.
- 20:47There's just he has no choice. It's so clustered up there.
- 20:51Yeah, Chelsea still doesn't look like they're where they were a
- 20:54month and a half ago though, you know, two months ago.
- 20:57They just look like they look kind of young and like, but they
- 21:00won, they won and they came back for one O down now that.
- 21:03Good for that. You know, type top four now.
- 21:05So they're still there, still in contention.
- 21:07Yeah, Jackson woes continue. He got not made by.
- 21:11That was kind of crazy. He got worried.
- 21:12He got nuts in his old box. Yeah, at the edge of his box.
- 21:15That's so they made me to the notes.
- 21:18Yeah, thank you. I actually saw I was talking
- 21:21about Jackson. I think so.
- 21:22I have. My forwards are Jackson, Savio.
- 21:27Who? Jackson Who are my forwards?
- 21:29Jackson Savio. Sorry, this is not loading.
- 21:32Jackson, Savio, Alenga and Semenyo.
- 21:35OK, I think I'm gonna have to start benching Jackson and just
- 21:39like going with and like if if City plays before I'm going to
- 21:42start and like I know and I know Savio's playing because the only
- 21:45question is if Savio's going to play.
- 21:46That's exactly what I did because I have Jackson and Savio
- 21:49in my other league and I've benched Jackson because I was
- 21:51like Savio's playing. He's getting me double digits.
- 21:52Yeah, yeah, I think, I think that's what I think that's the
- 21:55smart move. I think that's what I should
- 21:56have done this week. Yeah, probably would have won me
- 21:59the game. And then three weeks later, and
- 22:02so in like a long last time from now, we have the last game of
- 22:04this game week, which this is a really weird one, but it's going
- 22:07to be Everton versus Liverpool, Enza, which is going to for more
- 22:11like 99%, give Tico a six loss in a row or give Enzo a six loss
- 22:15in a row. Did you?
- 22:15Add that tico I also. Made that addition to.
- 22:17That yeah, I'm just, I'm just reading what's here.
- 22:20I'm reading off the props. That should be a ball.
- 22:21Let. Me.
- 22:22You know what would be amazing? If Evan smash on Liverpool and
- 22:25then Telkowski still gets a clean sheet points and I lose.
- 22:28But I won't. I won't even be that mad.
- 22:30It wouldn't be that much. I would be mad as well if I
- 22:33would. Wait, all right, that was that
- 22:36was the matches. I actually think we got through
- 22:38them pretty quickly, but I want to show there's a ton of waivers
- 22:41and a lot of them are transfer related.
- 22:45So I'm gonna go through let's do this.
- 22:46I have transfer related waivers. I have non transfer related
- 22:49waivers and then any other transfers that we want to talk
- 22:52about. If you guys are like, well, wait
- 22:53a second, I want to talk about this guy, then we can discuss
- 22:56it. Does that make sense work for
- 22:57you guys? So the first one on waivers for
- 23:00me is Evan Ferguson going from Brighton to West Ham.
- 23:03He's a forward. He's under 18% of leagues.
- 23:06He's incredibly promising young guy who seems like he's just
- 23:09like totally his career got derailed by injuries and just
- 23:12the fact that like Jon Pager and Welbeck had such a good start to
- 23:15the season and now he's going to West Ham where, you know, he
- 23:19knows the manager well. Grand Potter was his coach at
- 23:22Brighton and West Ham need a striker.
- 23:24So it just seems like a really perfect fit.
- 23:26It just seems like everything's really aligned for him to kind
- 23:29of step into a a good role for him.
- 23:30So I'm actually really excited for that one.
- 23:32He needs to be fit because he's still injured.
- 23:34They bought him injured. He needs to get back to fitness
- 23:36and this could be what what West Ham needs.
- 23:39And then like you said, pause or he had him before.
- 23:42I think he gets scored. We know how good we we thought,
- 23:45I thought highly of him last season.
- 23:47He started off pretty right and then he's got derailed by
- 23:49injuries. I think that he could be
- 23:50something that West Ham needs. Yeah.
- 23:52For me, he's a wait and see kind of waiver.
- 23:54I'm not going to put any fab on him until I see him play a game
- 23:57or two sub. Nothing I'm too excited about.
- 23:59Don't worry, Keith, you don't have no fab.
- 24:02I have 4 fab left, maybe I'll put it all on him.
- 24:07The next one is Mathias Tell coming coming from Vap Iron to
- 24:12Tottenham on a on a loan. This was the kind of on again
- 24:15off again. It sounded like he wasn't
- 24:16coming. And so how do you feel about
- 24:18this? Do you know how many players
- 24:19rejected Tottenham in this January transit window?
- 24:22Do you know? Name him, How about you?
- 24:24Tell, Tell rejected us. Milani rejected us.
- 24:30I think Gwahi said he wasn't in like we had the bid rejected but
- 24:34he he was never going to come and sell them because it wasn't
- 24:36the direction he wanted to go. So we got rejected by three
- 24:38players. In a share so window I did read
- 24:42that tell King because he had a conversation with Big Ang and he
- 24:45was able to convince him. So this also comes in at Richard
- 24:48Lassen. So you would think eventually
- 24:50Richard Lassen is going to get benched again.
- 24:51So whoever had him, I mean he put up good fantasy value the
- 24:55last two games he played 14117 not bad with two goals so yes.
- 25:00We'll see because tell from what the Germans say is a striker,
- 25:04not a winger. Play him up front and then
- 25:06strike the ball and we need someone that can score goals.
- 25:09He's obviously not going to take that left hand side because
- 25:11that's where his son is. So I think if we play him up
- 25:14front, let's give him a try. He's young, he's 19 and what's
- 25:19the worst could happen we we lose a couple more games, you
- 25:21know what I mean? But could he score a couple
- 25:23goals for us? I don't know.
- 25:26What I would say is if you have taught them they got so many
- 25:29young players or if you have any Tottenham players at this point,
- 25:31what are they playing for? Might as well give the young
- 25:33guys a chance. So as a Madison owner, that's
- 25:35something I'm also worried about as well.
- 25:37This to me just kind of reeks of like a lot of hype and stuff and
- 25:42could be potential like for it to not to not much down there.
- 25:46Well, look, the loan is only for six months, so there's a.
- 25:48Reason they have a buy option. They do live by option, but I
- 25:51just think that like, you know, he was like he, it wasn't like
- 25:53he was getting starts and really knocked on the door by and like,
- 25:56I think there might be more to this and we'll have to see.
- 25:58But also like maybe Angel get more out of them and activate
- 26:01him. So I mean, I'm interested in it,
- 26:03but I think I'd rather go, I'd rather personally go 1st to tell
- 26:07if I was, if I was if I had to choose between the two for
- 26:08waivers. But I guess I see.
- 26:10I think Tell Pelva has more, more immediate upside just
- 26:12because of Tottenham's going to be creating more scoring
- 26:15opportunities at West Ham. But but I think there's still
- 26:18question marks on exactly where he's going to play and kind of
- 26:21what his, if he can really do it at this level.
- 26:24We'll see. You got remember 2 Bayern Munich
- 26:26has what, Sane? Who else is on that wing?
- 26:29Well, yeah, then obviously Harry Kane, he's playing Harry Kane.
- 26:32Alisa. Like it's going to be tough
- 26:34Alise, it's going to be tough to get into that team at 19.
- 26:36It is. You're right.
- 26:37You're right, you're right. OK, Next thing on here is
- 26:39Patrick Dorgu, the Manchester United left wing back.
- 26:44He I mean, we've talked about a bunch, but wingbacks are cheat
- 26:47code in in his fantasy and United desperately needed a left
- 26:50wing back. Will the adjustment take some
- 26:52time? Very possibly.
- 26:53He might not even if he gets thrown in right away, it may
- 26:55take him a little while before he gets like good, you know, but
- 26:58I think just even on even on the mediocre team, like United is a
- 27:02mediocre team, Wingbacks are still worth only.
- 27:07But did I say? Did I say?
- 27:08Did I? No.
- 27:09I love what you said. I'm completely around mediocre.
- 27:12Definitely mediocre. The.
- 27:13One mediocre. So where's owning those sewing
- 27:15backs? Yeah, yeah, no, I think in the
- 27:18the way that Ameren wants to play, I think wingbacks are
- 27:22vile. So this is his first what real
- 27:24buy. So this is someone that he wants
- 27:26to play in a position and has an idea for what his position
- 27:28should be, which is very attacking.
- 27:30And I think if Dorgu couldn't execute what he wants and make
- 27:33it in the Premier League, he he's got big, there should be
- 27:36some big points there somewhere. But I also think this will
- 27:39activate Dalo a little bit. So I could see Dalo now coming
- 27:41in on the right side because I have a feeling Maserati will
- 27:44probably play center back more. I think Dalo comes on the right
- 27:46side and that's his favorite position on his favorite foot.
- 27:49And I think that'll lead to more certain opportunities for him,
- 27:51just just as like a a note in this one too.
- 27:54Do do we think Luke Shaw's going to play again this year because
- 27:57it's practicing with the team again?
- 27:59I don't know. I just, I just can't trust it.
- 28:01I mean, they didn't, they didn't buy this guy down and play
- 28:02behind Luke Shaw. They didn't pay 30 for it to
- 28:05have him be Luke Shaw's apprentice.
- 28:07No, and Ameren doesn't seem like that play where he's going to
- 28:10buy a backup. Right now, he's buying stars.
- 28:12Yeah, for sure. Our next one, Marco Ascencio,
- 28:15This is kind of an odd 1 going to a villa.
- 28:19You think he'll be classified as a forward?
- 28:20For sure. Definitely, I don't know.
- 28:22I put, I think I put forward on midfield.
- 28:24I wasn't sure what he was going to be classed as.
- 28:27Tico probably had a better idea than that, but we've seen him do
- 28:30it against English sides in the Champions League, but cannot be
- 28:33week in, week out against these like lower level leagues, that
- 28:36lower level teams like Man United.
- 28:38Who's going to kick your legs? You know what I mean?
- 28:41I don't know. We're going to see, but I think
- 28:43essentially he's a talent. We already know that.
- 28:45Where does he have more value as a forwarder or a midfielder?
- 28:48Midfielder. Midfielder.
- 28:49Because there's just midfielder scarcity, there's more scarce
- 28:54my. I was looking at his his like
- 28:57returns and legal league wound for PSG and they're just like
- 29:00very mediocre. He's played in 12 notches in
- 29:022425, which is not a lot. So he's not like walked in a
- 29:05position and he has two goals and forces.
- 29:08That's fine. Bad mate, not bad.
- 29:10But it's it's contribute, it's the first.
- 29:12Contributions, mate. It's the French thing.
- 29:13Yeah, you're right, it's the French thing.
- 29:14OK, sorry. Farmers League.
- 29:15That's Farmers League. But yeah, so I like a little
- 29:17concerning the year before the full 2324 season, he played in
- 29:2119 matches only, which is not a lot.
- 29:24No, he had four goals in 5-6. So again, not like no, no, not
- 29:27terrible, but but I'm just saying now, now, now he's going
- 29:30into the Premier League, which we assume is a much tougher.
- 29:32But you got to remember too, he's also going to Aston Villa
- 29:35and I think this could work out, like you said for Olly Watkins,
- 29:38if he plays, that also pushes out Bailey.
- 29:40Bailey's gone, don't worry, he's going to be playing no more and
- 29:43they'll be able to slot in these wingers.
- 29:45That'll cut down the sights, you know what I mean?
- 29:47Same as last season where you say with DRB and Bailey the way
- 29:49they played, I think this could be a good return for both the
- 29:53striker and the winger. And yeah, it seems like Emery's
- 29:56done a good job of getting guys that in like know how to use
- 29:59them for the most part. So kind of got to trust the
- 30:02trust the process a little bit. He's also only 29 with a ton of
- 30:06Champions League experience and his last two years at Real
- 30:08Madrid he scored nine goals and ten goals while now playing the
- 30:11whole 90 minutes at all times. So.
- 30:13What position was he playing for Real Madrid when he was tight
- 30:15there? Right wings, right wing, Yeah,
- 30:18so. So he comes to the side and he's
- 30:20fucking that magical left foot of his.
- 30:22What a shot. Sort of mean that magical if he
- 30:25got kicked out Real Madrid, but. Well, I think.
- 30:27Garrett Bell. I think they just, they know how
- 30:30to know. Players are pretty well Rashford
- 30:32and Villa like this is. We'll see what happens here.
- 30:36I the thing about it, Ascencio on the right, Rashford on the
- 30:40left, Watkins in the middle, doesn't sound a little bit
- 30:44dangerous to anybody else. That sounds like 2 guys that
- 30:46don't want to work hard on the right and the left and then
- 30:49Watkins trying to work hard and press off the ball and then not
- 30:51working. Oh, they're not going to press.
- 30:53They're not going to press exactly.
- 30:54They're not going to press. They're not going to press, so
- 30:56it's not going to work. You mean they'll just change
- 30:58this style of play and be more halfway?
- 31:00Life, I don't think that's, I don't think they're.
- 31:02Gonna you think Emery's gonna get those two?
- 31:04Maybe. You know what?
- 31:05Rashford goes on a proof. You never know.
- 31:07I think, I think Rashford is gonna have to show more from in
- 31:13that way, like work harder to have any chance.
- 31:15I think. I think that's what that's what
- 31:17that's been his issue United is that he's kind of like really
- 31:19like Placid and what he's doing really complacent that's.
- 31:22It's not fair is it? I don't think.
- 31:24I think it's something bad happened at United and the last
- 31:26couple years has been Hardy for him.
- 31:28My friend, he need a new club. We've set a new new club.
- 31:31I think Rashford would be if he's probably already picked up
- 31:34by most leagues. You know, I mean, especially.
- 31:35A bunch of my United fans, I would just hope, hoping them now
- 31:38I'm hoping the anger drop him so we can pick him up.
- 31:41No, he'll be. He'll be owned.
- 31:43Do you think who owns him and all is it?
- 31:45Is it Derek? I wonder if I send a trade to
- 31:46Derek. Sure, it'll give him.
- 31:49Up that's Derek. He's but he's I mean he's owned
- 31:50in almost 80% of the league. It's not really worth about a
- 31:52waiver. It just be like it'd be like if
- 31:54you were going to trade for him, what would be like a viable
- 31:56piece? Like would you trade like
- 31:57Anthony Olinga for Rashford? No, you keep Olinga, right?
- 32:00You keep Olinga. I think so too.
- 32:02Yeah. Danny Welbeck.
- 32:05Yeah, but no one's going to, you know.
- 32:06Yeah, I would trade Rash with Welbeck.
- 32:08Yeah, sure. What's that middle ground?
- 32:11What's like the maybe? What's his name?
- 32:16The lap. I would take Rashford over the
- 32:20lap. I think the upside's there.
- 32:21It's I'm just. Saying it's the middle ground.
- 32:23What about WISSA, Raleigh Menezer Gene?
- 32:28Fleet Matata. Why would you trade for
- 32:31Rashford? Why do you want that headache?
- 32:33I kind of agree, it's just the I'd rather have the known like
- 32:36the known Matata. It's the risk, but.
- 32:38But what's his ceiling? What do you think his ceiling
- 32:40will be? Rashford Yeah.
- 32:42You've seen what you can do before in the past.
- 32:44I know it's two years since. He's done that, but I've also
- 32:46seen what Ascencio did in the past.
- 32:48I could just pick him off a waiver instead of trading for a
- 32:51fucking Rashford. OK, everyone has the luxury of
- 32:54being able to pick him off the. Only way Rashford would have
- 32:57value is if Watkins is out for a while and then Rashford gets
- 33:01more playing time. It's played through the middle,
- 33:03which he hates. Hates what?
- 33:04Fucking height doesn't matter. I mean this is like his last
- 33:08fucking chance before he goes to Saudi.
- 33:11Or the laps or something, Yeah. Pretty much.
- 33:15All right, Yeah, OK, so those are my like key waiver pickups
- 33:20and now let's go into some like non waiver, my key, sorry, my
- 33:24key transfer pickups. Those are my key transfer
- 33:26pickups. And now let's go into some like
- 33:28just some non transfer waiver pickups that I have on here.
- 33:31We've kind of talked about a lot of these guys, but first of all
- 33:33is Beto. Only 30% of leagues is a forward
- 33:35with the Calvin and Lou and injury.
- 33:37He's come in, he's going to brace.
- 33:39He had a really horrible dry spell that really killed his
- 33:41confidence, but average had paid good money for him.
- 33:43And there's like there's scouting by all reports that
- 33:46he's a good player. And if you can kind of figure
- 33:48that out and start scoring goals and Moise is there, maybe Moise
- 33:51is kind of a lock em. I think there's potential.
- 33:53Here. No, that's definitely you're
- 33:54gonna hit it, strike it while the the iron's hot.
- 33:56And you know, you've said this before, Keith, go go with the
- 33:58form and go over there now. And if he can carry on this
- 34:01form, he could win you a couple games.
- 34:03I think it's evident inside that with Moist at the helm, that's a
- 34:06little bit more attacking and not as defensive.
- 34:09I think he has an opportunity to score, especially now that DCL
- 34:12is out. That gives him more opportunity
- 34:13to play more games, more minutes, because they really
- 34:15have no choice. And next on here, Jed Spence,
- 34:19Tottenham. We talked about him under 30% of
- 34:21leagues. He's just like quickly becoming
- 34:23a very highly rated defender. I think the biggest thing for me
- 34:25was just the fact that he's shut down and blem.
- 34:27I was so effectively in that Bradford game and he's scoring
- 34:30points and he's like, you know, he's he's creating, he's
- 34:33attacking. I think it's getting to the
- 34:34point where like I don't know if like if a doggy stock, I don't
- 34:37think doggy started. Look, I love you, doggy.
- 34:40I love his energy. But honestly, attacking wise,
- 34:43you get more outspent. Defensively, you're getting a
- 34:45lot more outspent even within play on the left hand side,
- 34:48which is in his natural position.
- 34:51So we and Doug, I don't even know when he's going to come
- 34:54back. He's still injured.
- 34:54So Jed Spence is taking full like control of his opportunity
- 34:59to play in this Tomlin team and he's scoring points.
- 35:02Also, there are some like defensive reinforcements on the
- 35:05way for Tottenham, so that might just ease up the goals conceded,
- 35:08which has been the big negative for Tottenham.
- 35:10You know, with Van to then back, obviously Dragonson's out.
- 35:12Romero, it sounded like he was back, but now it seems like
- 35:14yeah. Stayed the week week by.
- 35:16Week to week, but then they have this new signing as well so.
- 35:19Danzo. So we'll see about him.
- 35:21Yeah. All right.
- 35:22So yeah, I like that. I like Jed.
- 35:24The next one on here is I just like Combo Lewis, Kelly and
- 35:27Nawari for Arsenal. I think both the young youth
- 35:30players are having a moment. Seems like good pieces if they
- 35:33start. The question is if they're
- 35:34really going to lock down those positions and start.
- 35:36I mean, there's a path for both of them, but no guarantee, yeah.
- 35:40I'm not a fan of Lewis Kelly at left back.
- 35:42I added him on the team because he got few starts in a row when
- 35:45he doesn't have goal contributions because he doesn't
- 35:48score points, because he's not really a defender when you look
- 35:50at it. He the only other double digit
- 35:52scoring game he has is 11 against Ipswich because that was
- 35:55because of a clean sheet. That's a good shot.
- 35:57We've called it out before. It is problematic that he's not
- 35:59classified as a defender. Yeah, so but there's also a
- 36:02question about like, maybe he gets maybe like Al Fiari gets
- 36:05healthy and he can play in that wing position.
- 36:07Is that a possibility? I don't know.
- 36:09That'd be one of our, our arsenal, you know, expert.
- 36:14Yeah, I'm just saying, I mean, I think there's something that
- 36:16Noari is probably the most interesting one as a midfielder.
- 36:18I think so. At least until soccer comes
- 36:21back, yeah. Yeah, at least until soccer
- 36:22comes back. I think that's interesting.
- 36:25And next on here is O'Brien from Everton on the 10% of leagues.
- 36:30I think Young is just, I think Moyes came in and looked at
- 36:33Young and said, man, you might be doing some good attacking
- 36:36things, but we need more energy on the wing.
- 36:38And that's kind of what he brought up Brian for.
- 36:40He just, he wants a really solid defensive, defensive structure.
- 36:44He must be doing something different to what Young was
- 36:46doing, like Young was creating goals, getting up and down the
- 36:49wing. But maybe it was something,
- 36:51maybe more defensive, I don't know.
- 36:53But O'Brien looks like he's slowed in.
- 36:55He's only 10% known. He's scoring double digit points
- 36:58week in, week out. If you haven't picked them up,
- 37:01you need a defender. Pick him up.
- 37:02Yeah. I think especially with an
- 37:04Everton team that's just historically is pretty
- 37:05defensively silent, Yeah. I don't think he's going to give
- 37:08you the same returns as Young. Like I don't think he's going to
- 37:10be the same, give the same output.
- 37:14But I still think he's a very solid player to own enough.
- 37:16I agree. The last one on here, Keppa
- 37:19Bournemouth owning 49% of the league's most expensive
- 37:21goalkeeper in the world, is finally starting to kind of look
- 37:24like it. Maybe yeah, it'll make people
- 37:26good. He's a goal.
- 37:27He's not not like, not that amazing, but.
- 37:30He's a goalkeeper. So he's putting together a solid
- 37:32set of games and he's one of the reasons why I'm not that worried
- 37:34about pace or the keeper issues that I might be having with Mark
- 37:37Fucking right now. I'm just saying that like in in
- 37:41a ten man league, there's so many goalkeepers that and no
- 37:45one's really holding on to two. If you've got two, what are your
- 37:48teeth? If you hold on to two keepers,
- 37:50what are? You are you an idiot.
- 37:52What did I say? Oh yeah, Yeah, you're an idiot.
- 37:53That's right. TK was threatening to take the
- 37:56goalkeeper I dropped and hold it over my head and I said go for
- 37:59it. No one cares do.
- 38:01It I I dare you to do it. I please do.
- 38:04He has two goalkeepers. I tell him to pick up a.
- 38:06Fucking double dare you. I'll just drop one of the
- 38:09goalkeepers. That thing I told you, Castle
- 38:12the the goalkeeper, I'll just. Drop one and pick up You're
- 38:15crazy. You're.
- 38:16An idiot? No.
- 38:17What are you talking about it? Pope is like a top two
- 38:19goalkeeper. I'm not going to let Pope walk
- 38:21and then be without a goalkeeper.
- 38:23Yeah, yeah, I. Agree.
- 38:24He was actually healthy last game.
- 38:25He was on the bench, but they still gave the start to what's
- 38:29his name, dude? What's his name?
- 38:31The backup Is that my team? Dubrovka.
- 38:33Dubrovka. Yeah.
- 38:34So and then he gave up those two goals.
- 38:36So hopefully Pope comes back and I get to fucking let go of the
- 38:39second goalkeeper and have that open slot that I love.
- 38:42Which you desperately need because you there's so many
- 38:44players that are so good. You fucking whore.
- 38:48OK, some more transfers we didn't talk about, but I think
- 38:52maybe it's worth mentioning. James word pass is back to West
- 38:55Ham from Forest. I did just that low and didn't
- 38:57work out. It wasn't.
- 38:58I don't. Think it was even alone.
- 39:00I think it was just an agreement to switch it back.
- 39:02It was, it wasn't there alone, it was okay, but they recalled
- 39:07some other names on here at the Zasi, the villa.
- 39:09I don't think there's anything here you want really want to
- 39:12grab. That was the other thing that
- 39:13turned down Tottenham. Yeah, no, Did he really?
- 39:16Yeah, bastard. That's a wait and see.
- 39:18I think Ben show all the palace is interesting, but I think he's
- 39:21still behind. I think he's coverage, he's
- 39:23coverage. I think he's coverage.
- 39:24I'm happy to see him go somewhere.
- 39:25Hopefully he'll get some playing time.
- 39:26Yeah, we'll see Gonzalez the Man City soon.
- 39:29You could play as an 8 or A6. Apparently he's a pretty good
- 39:31player. He's they get like 13 goal
- 39:33returns and 29. From Porto again.
- 39:36So yeah, we'll see how he goes. I'm not big.
- 39:38Shoes to fill, man. Big shoes to fill.
- 39:41Yeah. I'm not clamoring there though.
- 39:42No, You know Danzo, the Spurs? Nope.
- 39:46TBD on that. Yeah.
- 39:48How do you pronounce Croppy? Croppy.
- 39:51That looks like a Poke. That sounds like a Pokémon.
- 39:53Another one. No, that was a Star Wars
- 39:56character. Patrick Dougie, the Star Wars
- 39:59character. He's an 18 year old forward
- 40:01football. That's interesting.
- 40:04Is this real? Is William really going back to
- 40:06follow up that's. A joke, Yeah, he's a fucking
- 40:07free. No, he's a fucking free agent.
- 40:09They've already agreed. And because he's a free agent,
- 40:11it doesn't have to be done on transfer today.
- 40:14So they're in talks right now. So as soon as they're like
- 40:17hanging out, it'd be a good like say goodbye.
- 40:20Shit, I don't know, did they did Phelp have any injuries we don't
- 40:23know about? No.
- 40:25Oh, Harry Wilson. Oh.
- 40:26OK, there you go. There, there you.
- 40:29Go a couple of other things with John John Duran went to Al
- 40:31Nasser and Saudi League a little bit of disappointing because he
- 40:34was an exciting guy, but I think anyone who's willing to go to Al
- 40:37Nasser at 21 let him go bro, but just.
- 40:41He didn't want to play it feel like he won't play second
- 40:43fiddle. So Olly Watkins, we all know
- 40:46who's going to be playing the second fiddle to now, right?
- 40:51Cristiano Ronaldo. They'll probably play together.
- 40:53There's no way they're paying that much money for him, for him
- 40:55to not start Games I. Don't know Cristiano Ronaldo,
- 40:57he's he's making his way to 1000 goals and I don't think he wants
- 41:01Duran getting in on his. Final way.
- 41:03Also now those contracts that's finished this year, I think so.
- 41:07Yeah, that is true. Yeah, that is true.
- 41:08I wonder he goes after he I can't imagine he hangs it up
- 41:11and. He's got MLS.
- 41:12He has to get that less. He has to go to MLS.
- 41:14Just one final hurrah, do. You think we get some some messy
- 41:18games and those final The last dance like all the.
- 41:21Sudden they those tickets go up to like 1000 bucks each for a
- 41:24fucking MLS game. Get the fuck out.
- 41:26Do you think he'd more likely go to because I was not going to go
- 41:29to a Miami team? So you think he's likely going
- 41:31to go to an LA team or a New York team because those are the
- 41:33only two teams. Is that all you see markets that
- 41:34he would go to? Yeah, Daddy only see markets
- 41:36Chicago. No, he wouldn't go to.
- 41:38Chicago. I can't imagine going to
- 41:39Chicago. Before Neymar went to Santos, he
- 41:41was linked with the Chicago club.
- 41:43Yeah, but guess what? He didn't go.
- 41:45He went back home. I think he probably just Googled
- 41:48Chicago. It was like, yeah, I'm glad
- 41:50that. Yeah.
- 41:52Look, Chicago's lovely. No, it's lovely.
- 41:54I'm not. Saying it, I'm just saying for a
- 41:56player that's used to that kind of like lifestyle, it's, it's
- 41:59for him, like it's Miami, New York, LA, maybe Dallas, maybe
- 42:04OK. Even Luca left, so there's no.
- 42:07Dallas for him, that's true. Baby John Felix leaving Chelsea
- 42:11on the load AC Milan what an embarrassing transfer for
- 42:13Chelsea that he couldn't get this guy to work.
- 42:15He paid almost 70 million for him, 60-70 million for him.
- 42:18I'm now just saying embarrassing he's.
- 42:19Not the marauder any just. I don't know.
- 42:22I just, I wish him the well. I hope he plays really well.
- 42:25Facebook. He's only 25.
- 42:27I know, I hope he does. How many teams has?
- 42:29He played for. Not that many if you rethink
- 42:32about. No, it was.
- 42:33It was like Benfico Porto somewhere in Portugal.
- 42:35Benfico. Yeah, he went to Athletico.
- 42:37Athletico, Barcelona, Barcelona, Chelsea Again.
- 42:41Milan. But can you count like, yeah,
- 42:43yeah. But I'm saying this, but I I see
- 42:45you're saying in the last year. Yeah, yeah, OK, another one.
- 42:48Lloyd Kelly went from Bournemouth to Newcastle and now
- 42:50is on his way to Juventus. Talk about failing upwards.
- 42:52What the fuck? In the first of the year, played
- 42:5610 out of 25 games, only fished 90 minutes once for Newcastle.
- 42:59I don't, I don't get it. Pogba coming back on three one
- 43:02who should sign him cares. I don't think he's going to be
- 43:04relevant. Come to Tottenham, I'll.
- 43:06Take him, Oh my God. That's funny.
- 43:07I'll fucking take him. Mason Greenwood is a top goal
- 43:11scorer in. Yeah, man.
- 43:14Oh, that's cool. I guess that's not cool.
- 43:16I don't. Know no I don't know like had to
- 43:19leave the country but at least. He's the country, yeah.
- 43:22So Gerard leaves Tatyak next Spurs manager question mark.
- 43:25No, I take him. Oh, don't say that.
- 43:29I fucking take him. Is this Stevie Gerrard?
- 43:33Stevie, Why would you take him? All right, I think that's just
- 43:37about it, guys. This has been episode 76 of
- 43:39Drafts Offsides. My name with Keith is Keith.
- 43:41I'm with Tiko Enzo. We will see you guys next week
- 43:45follow us on the socials at dropped outsides.
- 43:47Check out our YouTube Tigo dot tigo.
- 43:49Sergey's been killing it over there.
- 43:51So all the with all his videos and the shorts and making.
- 43:54Our goal was to get to 1000 views on at least one.
- 43:58That's we should. We'll get, we're gonna get there
- 43:59pretty quickly. We are going through another
- 44:01hotly congested week where there's not a lot of love lost
- 44:05between the three of us. A lot of a lot of this animosity
- 44:09is flowing. I'd like everyone to know that
- 44:11we are good friends for the most part.
- 44:14Not during the season. But then you could just say not
- 44:18even when we play on the same team because I think we yelled
- 44:20at each other. Just I know.
- 44:22You have friendships predicated off like kind of being mean to
- 44:24each other, actually, when you really think about it.
- 44:27What's? Funny is football is what
- 44:28brought us together. But that's only how we argue
- 44:31when football's not involved, we're all pretty good.
- 44:32Yeah, we're. All really nice.
- 44:36It's Sala Slova slide Luis Diaz. And Mikulenko?
- 44:41Tarkowski. No Tarkowski.
- 44:43Even. Even worse.
- 44:44Even worse. When I saw Sanchez garbage for
- 44:47today's game I'm like oh can I drop someone to pick him up just
- 44:49to fuck with Enzo? Can I can I tell you what I'm
- 44:52really hoping for? I'm hoping for a non player that
- 44:55he has to score like a hat trick so it minuses Tarkowski like 4
- 45:00points and then they don't do enough and they will get subbed
- 45:02off. Like they benched Sala like
- 45:04sober side players doesn't get any points, sarcasm goes
- 45:07negative. Luis Diaz, like, doesn't do
- 45:11anything. Just imagine it happens.
- 45:12I can dream. Really funny.
- 45:13I'm allowed to dream. It's not going to happen, but I
- 45:15can dream. Crazy things have happened.
