  • I told the team are back to go through all the big deals that are brewing With only nine days to go in the January window.

  • Tweet the show at Sky Sports.

  • You use the hashtag transferred.

  • We'll start with someone who we hoped we might see in the Premier League this month.

  • Eyes Edinson Cavani.

  • However, Anton, it looks like he's not coming to the Premier League.

  • Explain well, his father, Luis Calderon, has been given.

  • It gave an interview to a Spanish TV overnight and it's a bit of a chatter, so I'm going to everything that he said.

  • But effectively, he's come out and kind of confirmed what Premier League clubs didn't want to hear, which effectively?

  • Let's go.

  • Madrid is his first choice for every move.

  • That's where he'd like to go.

  • Now the problem is you know that that relies if he meets in January, relies on Atletico.

  • Parents sent a man coming to an agreement on the deal now, but Paris sentiment don't really want that to happen because the Holy Grail for them is the Champions League Atletico for Liverpool in the Champions League.

  • Get through them and there'll be one of the favorites, obviously for the competition, so they don't want to strengthen any of their European rivals.

  • But his dad has also come out and said, Look, he's still there's still an option to join them in June July.

  • So that appears to be his first choice.

  • That Edison Cavani wants to go to Mexico and not the Premier League.

  • Yes, so if he's not coming to the Premier League mark a cz, Premier Li fans and viewers have we missed out?

  • You'll have to speak to my dad.

  • You want to know?

  • I think so.

  • I think he's a big mess because he is right now, one of the big names in world.

  • You didn't laugh as much as I'd hoped you would at that joke.

  • Never mind.

  • It took me a while.

  • I was thinking, Is it an age thing or whatever?

  • But now I get it.

  • Now you get it.

  • I I think when you say to a football fan off any Premier League side, Edison Cavani, they will go player, you know they will look at him with fondness.

  • So the fact that we're missing out potentially on a player of that quality someone that drives the juice is someone that has the ability to score goals, someone that's been one of the key figures at P S.

  • G for a long time.

  • It would be sad because everyone in the Premier League wants to see the best players playing in England.

  • You know he's won the copper.

  • America is 15 legal titles.

  • He's won 10 plus trophies in the couple's well.

  • He is a play that knows how to win silverware and clearly because of his record, appears G.

  • He's a player that can score goals.

  • The fact that now he won't be coming to the Premier League is a big miss.

  • But it's one of those things, perhaps his age.

  • Just a bit of a factor on the fact that he's got this willingness to go toe Athletica and Michael.

  • This is another striker off the market.

  • I suppose if he does make that move Atletico and it looks like that's where he wants to do and how concerned with the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, who we believe want strikers, how concerning is it for them?

  • Well, how many's out another?

  • Yeah, I'm absolutely how many great a strikers are available in a January you know, lamp are didn't roll him out, did he?

  • The other day when he spoke to our colleague Dave Reid extremely hard to get strike off that caliber.

  • Joseph Marino did totally rule it out yesterday as well.

  • Look at Manchester United Ibrahimovic.

  • Henrik Larsen lost my really good loan deal on under Sir Alex Ferguson, where no one would roll out Cavani.

  • It is a shame for them, but also the caliber of strike has been offered to top them.

  • For example, most improbably, are off top.

  • Premier Li, extended to replace Harry, came from now until June.

  • I will say they take that with a pinch of salt.

  • This is his dad coming and saying this This isn't the player himself on DDE money talks effectively.

  • If he's told, you know you're not gonna play much because of the fantastic options They've got a Paris singer, man.

  • Hell, he could push for move.

  • Make it quite uncomfortable for him to stay in Paris and a man on the fact of the matter is yes, Paris.

  • Santa.

  • I don't want to deal.

  • Do a deal with the team in the Champions League for obvious reasons.

  • Manchester night it on in the Champions League.

  • Why could they not come into going to go into a deal?

  • They need a striker.

  • As Michael just said, he's the most experience, one of the best option around.

  • It still seems like a no brainer for me that that could happen.

  • Something is a bit of a surprise.

  • Alice that Cavani at this stage does want to leave.

  • I think, Why doesn't he wait till the end of the season?

  • Why does he want to do well?

  • According to his dad's?

  • Take it back to him.

  • He's a player who needs time, and today he's just not getting that the club.

  • I mean, we can't forget he's been there over seven years, and Mark, you went into the detail of everything that he has achieved with the club.

  • He's made 292 appearances.

  • He's called almost 200 goals.

  • I mean, if you look at that return, imagine having him in the Premier League.

  • So is a massive shame that it doesn't look like we are getting him at the minute.

  • But we can't forget the form of Killian in back pay.

  • One of the finest forwards in the wild one, the most expensive as well.

  • His form.

  • He's on fire at the minute, so he's He's got players that are in there on the form of their lives, killing about 21 years old, 11 years younger than his age.

  • Marrow Riccardi, up front as well, is performing really well.

  • So this is all men that Cavani's may just nine league appearances this season, So he's not getting the minutes.

  • He's obviously not feeling he's a value player, and with the experience, he's got everything.

  • He has one.

  • He'll want to be feeling that he's playing under a manager who wants him in the scored.

  • So to be fighting for those minutes just goes to show that you know, it's not been a fall from Grace because he's got all these trophies to his name, but he wants those minutes, and he's not gonna get them there right now.

  • Okay, so watch this.

  • Edison Cavani moved.

  • Of course, he hasn't gone anywhere just yet.

  • Time to state of playing out with Mark.

  • Yeah, thanks very much about Manchester United have sent scouts to watch Leon Striker Moussa Dembele A and little midfielder Bakary Samara.

  • Christian Eriksen met with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy yesterday and reiterated that he wants to join into Milan this month.

  • A C Milan have made a transfer inquiry for Nottingham Forest Matic Cash.

  • Manchester City are one of a number of top European clubs considering a move for brushes.

  • 19 year old midfielder Sandra Tin Ali in the summer Brighton have secured a work permit for midfielder Alexis McAlister, who's currently on loan.

  • Bocca Juniors by Munich have signed Real Madrid right back Alvaro Audrey Zola on loan for the rest of the season.

  • Croatian international striker Miss Left or Sitch is on the West Brom's wanted list and finally Barnsley are in talks with Wolfsburg.

  • A sea over a deal to sign their captain Michael Solve our let's pick up on something you said there, Mark.

  • You talked a little bit about Christian Eriksen there and we have some new news to us this morning just before we went on air.

  • Good morning transfers at 9 a.m. On Erickson.

  • What is tthe e Absolutely Just going a bit more detail on it.

  • Yeah, this is another interesting when we've been talking about it so much.

  • But yesterday Christian Eriksen met with the top Bloom chairman Daniel Levy on reiterated that he wants to join into Milan this month on.

  • That's what our sources in Sky Italy are telling us.

  • Erickson's agent, Martin Shoots, went to meet Levy yesterday and he will be meeting again after the game today.

  • They play Norridge later on in the Premier League in north London and hoping that they can finally find an agreement between Tottenham on in Summerland.

  • Totem head coach Josie Marina confirmed in his press conference yesterday that he had no deal on the table as of yet on that, as things stand, the midfield that will be involved.

  • Four Tottenham tonight when they take on George.

  • Okay, Michael at this stage, what a Tottenham fans want now on the Eriksen situation like the election.

  • No deal.

  • Let's get it done.

  • What's hot and fans want is it.

  • They want it over, they want it over.

  • They want it sorted.

  • They see a player who was one of his best players over the last five or six years and now stands of drops completely.

  • It looks like Erickson's head is elsewhere and I just want it sorted out because Spurs have a serious really big week coming up.

  • They need a strike.

  • We are not going to go into it a bit.

  • They need a striker, Giovanni the cell toe.

  • Is that gonna go permanent after Erickson moves on?

  • But this needs to get sorted, because the uncertainty, the uncertainty, hasn't helped any anyone on the pitch.

  • But also, fans are slightly baffled that you still being used as a starter or coming on in.

  • Suppose suppose on scoring goals.

  • But Josie still uses Erickson as that spark t get a goal against what?

  • For the other thing.

  • They nearly nearly nearly did just ahead just over the line.

  • Against what foot?

  • But it needs to get sorted, but I'd be interested in that team.

  • News drops tonight half past six because Josie's are often spoken about not playing players that don't want to be there over the young for Tung, and his future still hasn't yet been decided.

  • I can't wait for the team news tonight.

  • Yeah, well, kind of player.

  • Alice.

  • When they're running their contract down, can they really give it their all?

  • I think it depends whether they want to have a contract extension or whether they are being tempted by clubs elsewhere.

  • I mean, look at the lights of William Chelsea.

  • He's coming towards the end of his contract.

  • He recently came out and said he'd like to play until he's 40 at Chelsea really wants to be there.

  • So for fans, it must be brilliant to hear that your your players got that drive and determination and that loyalty towards the club.

  • So often players will flirt with moves abroad.

  • And, yeah, I think it's a completely different thing, whether they're running the contract down because they opened the options and they're turning down deals or whether it's because they're simply not being offered a new one.

  • We know with the likes of Chelsea.

  • With players above the age of 30 they're often only offered one year deals.

  • We saw Ashley Young was only gonna be offered a one year deal at Manchester United and, you know, can you be offered an 18 month deal elsewhere, which we saw happen?

  • So it depends on the circumstances.

  • I would think what the difficulties are there for a player Marks whose contract is running out.

  • I think it's also important to focus and sort of look at the other side of this.

  • Everyone thinks about, you know, Player gets the move.

  • He's thinking about the money singing about himself.

  • He's thinking about other clubs.

  • He's not focused on the current club.

  • You're paying his wages.

  • It must be such a difficult scenario to be.

  • And imagine being a footballer when potentially the next 456 years of your life potentially the biggest contract you'll ever sign hinges on your fitness.

  • How do you go into training every single day, giving 110% without worrying about getting injured, about getting a knock?

  • Because if you get one injury, you break your leg, you do something seriously.

  • Do your Achilles.

  • You do.

  • You're a CEO.

  • Suddenly the next 456 years, your life changes dramatically dramatically, not just for the club that you're playing for, but also the financial income you know, fit healthy firing on all cylinders.

  • Christian Eriksen could be worth a huge amounts of money, a contract that could be worth 2030 £40 million over a 456 year period.

  • An injured Christian Eriksen might be worth 1/4 of that reason.

  • This has turned so sour, though, isn't it?

  • Because other players will look at him and go be as good as last season.

  • Give as much as you did any papers, Wonderman culture and not just Christian Eriksen.

  • The fans could never you know.

  • It is so passionate about the club they love.

  • So to see a player you know, not perform as well as he can on the pitch, they can't put two and two together and see that they can't connect that because it means so much to them to see their hero.

  • Then we see a fallen hero.

  • They want to see that play give, keep no blood, sweat and tears to the show every week.

  • And it's important to point out as well.

  • Sometimes even when your contract's got five years to run, you go through a bad spell.

  • You know.

  • Not many players over them.

  • Perhaps Ronaldo on Messi perform week in week out, year in, year out for 10 plus years.

  • There's not many places do that, so plays do go up and down informed If if I'm into Milan, I would want to get this done.

  • Anto continue now because I genuinely if he did stay until the summer Maur Cubs are gonna come in for a 27 year old who's on on the ball heist.

  • Assists, you name it.

  • Nearly hired top of every bracket.

  • Daniel Levy.

  • He wants to get some money back, which, you know, it's unlike talking to that.

  • Have a player run down his country.

  • Used to see a marriage cappuccino with a player like that every time, Didn't you, if you remember that, but the one player who will want him to stay, probably from in my eyes is Josie Marino.

  • It's not his money.

  • I've lost Harry's thinking.

  • I've lost Harry Kane.

  • That's 30 goals this season, and it probably doesn't lose Erickson.

  • He's still using him so much it been injury update on their market.

  • Russia a doubt this will affect Manchester United transfer dealings.

  • But the official, primarily Twitter account wished Marcus Rashford a speedy recovery.

  • Marcus Rashford replied with Thanks, guys, I'll be back before the season ends.

  • Toe, hopefully help my team claim the top four.

  • Okay, so the good news of unjust United is that Marcus Rashford doesn't believe these out for the whole season.

  • He will be back before the end.

  • Doesn't really change the trumps.

  • Fair dealings doesn't actually, they still need to strike a regardless.

  • Yeah, I mean, they could be out of the running for the top four by the time Mark Mark's Russian comes back.

  • So that way we've discussed at length on this program.

  • Manchester United's needs frustrations on dhe to be Let's be brutally honest.

  • Inability to improve to squad even though there are glaring needs in that team striker, maybe even another forward is a priority.

  • And it's great news that Marcus Rush from the one person who's looking at that thinking that's great news is gonna be Gara San's get more than anybody else.

  • Could we send you back for the euro's Manchester United needs someone now?

  • Not yet again.

  • The top four.

  • Maybe even get in the top seven.

  • That's that's genuine.

  • The position they're in.

  • No, no, there haven't you that they are at the moment, but slip in form and they could drop out of the European places.

  • So that's that's how important this situation is for Manchester United.

  • They need players now.

  • They've only got nine days to do it.

  • Okay, so much more on transfer talk.

  • With just a few days to go, will Everton bring in reinforcements.

  • On What about Lester, too?

  • Throughout this month?

  • We're looking back at Everton now because none of these two boxes have bean tick.

  • They're looking for a center back on a central midfielders center back.

  • They've got Michael Keen, Mason Holgate and Gary Meena.

  • That's only three, but John Philip Hammond can play there.

  • However, he's bean out.

  • Is her injury problems.

  • So they need one more, possibly tomb.

  • Or if Carlo Ancelotti wants to play with three of the bag the half side of center fact called Derek Brown Thwaite.

  • But he's very much one for the future.

  • He came from Carlisle our first glance in central midfield.

  • They look fairly well stocked.

  • Fabian Delph, Morgan Schneiderlin, Andrei Gomez Bowman, Tom Davies.

  • Guilty Sigurdsson on Benny Bangor mean A.

  • But when you consider the Bang, Amina is a youngster.

  • Gomez and Salmon are only going back for long term injuries on Schneiderlin has been in and out of favor for the past couple of seasons Here.

  • Understand why Ancelotti might be interested in that area?

  • However, it would appear the outgoing Jura priority Romani Acid, Chucho Martine are available to leave after the recent a GM revealed major losses in terms of finances at the club locator.

  • Anton, with those two boxes not ticked, is that because of those two long term injuries on their way back, I think Don't downplay the fact that I'm Dr Gomez may well be back in about a month's time.

  • Incredible, isn't it?

  • Absolutely.

  • That injury was horrible, isn't it?

  • He is vital to the way of it in play, and I think Carlo Ancelotti will be absolutely delighted to try and play threw him through the centre midfield on.

  • I also think the players around him, especially like Tom Davis will improve, will develop quicker with the likes of Andre Gomes next to him, about minor things.

  • Interesting once.

  • Well, because obviously he was signed to be the replacement for Theresa Gay on again.

  • He just hasn't had a run in the team.

  • So he's got a point to prove to show why ever spent alone in excess of £20 million on him as well as he said at the end, don't forget how important those financial figures are.

  • Everton.

  • Obviously we're selling it won't affect their transfer plans, but you can't lose money for ever.

  • It's that simple So look, Everton have got big squad.

  • It's about making the most of it and I think Gomez is absolutely vital.

  • Well, Michael, because Anton is just talked there about the A g m in the finances, just give it a little bit more on those results.

  • For maybe some viewers who missed it last week, I might.

  • It's significant losses, but also record profits.

  • Everton trying to break They don't the top six they wanna be in the seventh team, you know, fantastic, exciting plans of this new stadium.

  • I don't think I've been this excited for a manager since the Howard Kendall era of Carlo Ancelotti.

  • His CVI is just exemplary.

  • Carlo Ancelotti knows he's got a big job on his hands.

  • There's a number of players that were signed a few years ago from run on the run on Koman Era that don't have a future in football club for one reason or another.

  • Beginning Blasi, unlucky with serious injuries but he needs to move on, is one example.

  • But average revenue generated by the primary top six teams a couple of years ago was 419 million.

  • By comparison, Everton was 171 million is a staggering difference on Everton were trying to close the gap but getting the lights of Kouzmanoff involved with stadium rights potentially that they're thinking they're thinking ahead and they're thinking big.

  • A lot of fans evident fans got in touch in the summer and this month are saying that they need a striker like pretty much every other club in the Premier League.

  • You're saying to us as well.

  • But with my skin finally scoring last night, maybe he's finding his feet on.

  • That alleviates that problem.

  • Yeah, it was so good to see him get his first goal for the club, wasn't it?

  • The fans, the players, they all went while there had been a long time coming and hopefully now he's off the mark.

  • Hopefully, it's onwards and upwards from here.

  • 22 appearances he's made for the club before getting that first goal for Everton when he was event is he was really, really hot prospect that he became the youngest player to ever debut.

  • Four you've enters.

  • He was 16 years old when he made his professional debut there, so there was a lot on his shoulders.

  • I think when he came to Everton as well.

  • The fans were expecting him to really hit the ground running and and it just goes to show the difference from from moving from abroad, getting to find your feet at the Premier League.

  • It can be a big jump up, even things like getting a new home and getting to learn the language and meeting people.

  • All of this comes with a big move to the Premier League and he's shown he is now getting comfortable.

  • Firstly goal first gold at all in fact for Everton.

  • So yeah, he's found his feet.

  • Dominic Calvet Lewin.

  • He is looking very good this season.

  • He has scored 12 Premier League goals and Carlo Ancelotti's saying that perhaps Gareth Southgate should be looking at him for an England call up.

  • So hopefully he's learning with the right type of people around him and he can learn from family.

  • Yeah, I think we have a lot of their forwards can kind of play on both wings and up front about nailing down what what is best for them and carpet loom quite clearly is now seen as a strike and it's working.

  • Okay, we're gonna break away now because news that just into us regarding Manchester United Possible outgoing And again guess what involved into Milan Okay, because into Milan have met with the agent off the Manchester youngster Tha Heath Chong.

  • Now that's according to Skye in Italy has been a lot of speculation.

  • UN report recently about his contract at Old Trafford expires in the summer so we can speak to foreign clubs this month.

  • He's made seven appearances for Manchester this season.

  • Most recent, he started that F A Cup too much in the third round.

  • The draw against Wolves.

  • It was nearly started that game, but seven games so far in all competitions this season but Inter Milan have met with his agent.

  • They're allowed to because in the last six months of his contract, but Chong potentially leaving Manchester United on dhe going to Inter Milan, who've been very active in this transfer window as they look to win the Scudetto right now at the start of the John is some January Look Lester, we're going to make an early move.

  • They wanted centerback make de morale from the event is on a loan deal with the option to buy, although in agreement was never reached.

  • The players suffer an injury ruling out for the rest of the season.

  • So, Alice, why do they want to send her back?

  • Lester?

  • Because presumably they'll still be looking for one.

  • Yeah, well, obviously, they lost time.

  • McGwire, didn't they?

  • In the summer to Manchester, and I didn't at the time for Leicester fans that looked like a huge deal, the most expensive defender in history of the Premier Li.

  • But they haven't.

  • They haven't replaced him, but soon shoe has looked.

  • The real deal hasn't hit, however.

  • If there was to be an injury to him, who would fill the boots, then Bank of Itch Philip, Bank of which have been linked with a move.

  • We were talking last week about him, potentially going to Darby.

  • That hasn't been much news on that recently, but if they were to lose him, then that could leave them fairly short.

  • So I think so.

  • When she was coming and really done the job for Lester this season.

  • Defensively, they have looked brilliant.

  • Bart's, you've got to be if you're if you're looking for a top four finish or a top six.

  • Finishing Lester fallen off it slightly over recent weeks.

  • But you've gotta have backups, really.

  • Andi, looking towards the future, who you could bringing in future as well.

  • So interest well, how he really struggled against Norwich, and they drew 11 thing that was the start of Lester's sort of sticky period.

  • He also had a difficult game against Danny.

  • Ng is against Southampton and you look at it and go well.

  • If he needed a rest, I needed a break.

  • Considering such a busy period, Who's the player to come in his West?

  • Morgan isn't.

  • It was a very different type of sent back, a different time in his career.

  • Let's be brutally honest, Lester of what they've lost for the last six Premier League games.

  • So you know, I'm not saying anything going wrong, Lester.

  • But sometimes just one player, one extra player can make a big difference in the change room.

  • We're told that you know they want to send her back, but they wanted to be alone from Europe, and that's exactly what the de Moreau would have.

  • Bean, with the option to buy Michael Anton.

  • Call it their sticky period for Lester.

  • I mean, they're still doing very well, but the form has dipped slightly.

  • Does that made men and not just think, right.

  • I'm gonna do something.

  • Maybe.

  • I mean, if I told Lester fans in the summer that I'd be saying you've dropped to third in January like, Oh, that's all right then.

  • But yeah, there in that position.

  • And they're absolutely they were merit.

  • But you know, Lester five slightly.

  • Fortunately, no serious injuries, but they kept a very solid site.

  • Consistent site.

  • Brendan Rodgers done an absolutely phenomenal job.

  • Like he said last summer, Why don't necessarily need too many plays.

  • He didn't replace Maguire and then, obviously silent she was a Brucey.

  • Bonus wasn't in the end, you know, Fantastic.

  • But maybe that old one.

  • Just lift lift the team somewhat, but I don't think Brenda run should be panicking.

  • Atal.

  • Couple of defeats, but you know there could be in a cup final soon.

  • Andan stop voice.

  • It's going very well, Phyllis.

  • I don't need any where Anything to panic, but Rogers is good in the transfer market.

  • That's one thing I was gonna pick up on that.

  • Brendan Rodgers has always been calm.

  • Wherever I've met him.

  • Interviewed him, Seen him wherever he's operated, particularly the transfer window.

  • He's can't you know you saw it live a police or a Celtic and you're seeing it.

  • Lester.

  • There's been no knee jerk reactions.

  • They sold Harry Maguire in the summer.

  • Did they rush out and spend the money?

  • No.

  • They waited and they developed within and they've kept everything tight, and I think that's full credit toe A.

  • The way the club is run financially, they're very stable.

  • They're very secure.

  • They don't need to sell play that stance when selling some of their best players.

  • But when it comes to bringing players in their very calm as well, and I think that's reflected on this situation, if they can find the right player, they'll get him.

  • Otherwise, they're quite happy to sit site and go with what they got.

  • But also he's not seen as well is that the teams below are always dropping points.

  • So this Champions League they can afford to lose.

  • They don't want to lose, but Chelsea dropping points and there's no one below Chilton.

  • The moment Hussein I want to come in the top four wasn't going back to what Mark and Michael said about not panicking, affected what we're saying is a Lester looking for backups?

  • You know, we're not saying they need a new start in center back, a new basically what they could do with maybe now or certainly in the summer would be what, a backup center, half someone to replace.

  • Indeed, because we've seen the impact losing him on somebody.

  • Protect, potentially fill in for body when he needs a rest or when they when they want to rotate.

  • That's still a really good position to be.

  • And that's always the most difficult thing to do is well, when you sign players, players that come for big money, big wages from big clubs want to play, they want to be guaranteed football.

  • And if you're not gonna guarantee someone that, then you have to look a completely different type of player, someone that potentially is going to be younger and happy to challenge and sit on the bench and play the Cup games.

  • And that's a really difficult balance to get as a manager.

  • But Lester and Brendan always seem to get it just about right.

  • Yeah, set center back.

  • Of course it is.

  • Supposed that replacement.

  • Where's Morgan rather than even Harry McGuire?

  • Yeah, Buddy Rogers With Lee Congress in there is sporting director working very well together at less the right.

  • Don't forget the latest episode Off Transfer Talk Podcast is available on iTunes, Sky Sports website and speaker.

  • Stay or go returns on.

  • We'll look back on a major transfer 2018 transfer to Let's get to a significant meeting taking place in London that could affect transfers from next season.

  • Our chief reporter, Brian Swanson, joins us from the unlikely venue of Barnett's stadium.

  • The Hi Brian.

  • Good afternoon to you.

  • What's happening there?

  • We're told this is a significant meeting.

  • This is highly significant because it is a meeting off the association off football agents.

  • And they are desperately unhappy with what FIFA recommended last October.

  • And that was to place a limit on the amount of money that they can receive over football transfers.

  • The recommendation being 10% of the transfer from 33%.

  • All the players fee, and that is something that is upset.

  • The representatives, they say.

  • Well, why impose any kind of salary cap on us when you don't do that for players?

  • You don't do that for managers or other officials.

  • That's what is being discussed here today with some off the biggest, the most high profile football representatives in the world.

  • Expected here at Bonnets.

  • This is un unlikely events at an unlikely location, but the reason is being held here at the hive is the male steam connection.

  • That's because he is one of the top officials at the association off football agents.

  • He's also the legal representative here at Barnet.

  • Great stuff, Brian.

  • Thank you.

  • Okay, let's go to our stay or go, feature.

  • Now then.

  • Get your board's ready, everyone!

  • Michael Jackson!

  • Okay, we're doing Edinson Cavani.

  • We had a big chap out Cavani earlier.

  • So this a bit more quickfire.

  • Stay or go.

  • Should he leave or stay at Paris and Germany?

  • Michael, go.

  • We'll put it up.

  • Then do it.

  • Okay.

  • Why should he stay them?

  • Because most people, if he wants to go Marcus saying, Well, let him go.

  • Well, I think Edison Cavani is a quality player on Dhe.

  • Let's be honest.

  • He has won everything there is to win at Pearson is out of contract in the summer.

  • Why not stay and try and win the big one?

  • The Champions League on Do it and finish on a real high class also is only a small handful of goals away from getting 200 p s G goals.

  • Get that milestone leave is a hero going the summer.

  • That's why he should.

  • Michael's desperately looking.

  • He's so agitated.

  • Why should he go?

  • Michael?

  • I think you should embrace a new city like London.

  • New ground, new stadia, a new manager of the new league.

  • So Chelsea, some pie and mash are London's brilliant.

  • Come to come to London, you know that you think you should go.

  • You think you should go ago.

  • They're not just for the pie and mash, either, but he's ready for a new challenge.

  • He wants minutes.

  • Josemi Oni would love him to join the club.

  • So I think go for the new challenge.

  • 32 years old.

  • Yeah, go to you as well.

  • And Anton Cynic in me, though says, look completely agree with Mark, see the project through to be a hero.

  • Yeah, and leave leave on a high, but also that transfer feel that that might be spent in January.

  • Smith, you go pocket in the summer getting a signing bonus when you're free, we'll think of the money son thing about Agent A salary cap, Agent Cat.

  • No one's gonna be happy with that.

  • Right?

  • Okay, So that wants to stay or go returning later in the week.

  • I'm sure right back to talk him now.

  • And injuries mean that they're looking for signings.

  • But Josie Marino won't rush into anything.

  • Talking in the market for a strike.

  • Is hurricanes recovering from surgery?

  • Tropez injured hamstring.

  • Now Marino is there.

  • Any new signings must fit into the clubs.

  • Long term vision, right.

  • This is what you said about some quotes to read for you.

  • I think these are from yesterday to do something.

  • You have to do something that is good for our future, too.

  • Not just for tomorrow, something that is good for the future.

  • And of course, the club is very aware of it.

  • And the club is very committed on.

  • But we want to do something that is right from every point of view.

  • So I don't speak about other players from other clubs about when things that can happen or can not happen.

  • Because not to me.

  • This obviously is, isn't in perfect English right now it's It's been translated literally on That's not the way Tottenham operate.

  • We are trying to see if any good opportunities arise.

  • Okay, Michael.

  • So you're rush into anything that is absolutely correct.

  • I would say the right thing to do, but how much they need New additions.

  • It's really hard when they translate on the search engine from English.

  • Anyway, I'm gonna blame whoever wrote you about time you got saying back.

  • How do you like Right?

  • When January started the prime target for Tottenham, Hot Spur was a right back.

  • They didn't replace Karin Trippier Car Welcome, Peters.

  • I don't think he's in Josie Marino's plans.

  • Surgery A is I have a great you know, not so great.

  • It can't be slightly inconsistent.

  • Let's put it like basis.

  • I'm tangos.

  • Come on the scene and being absolutely outstanding right back and send half in particular Now with Hurricanes injury.

  • Spurs do not have a senior striker and I'm getting so tired of saying it.

  • But it's fact, and tonight it probably sawn up from, but he hasn't really set the world alight since it since returning from suspension, but he only needs a couple of gold star and he's back to his best.

  • But I think in the summer there's some serious rebuilding will be done around central midfield.

  • Left back.

  • But for now, I think Spurs fans will be happy to see the decent strike coming because it could be the difference between a good a good season or one.

  • You just have to forget.

  • Gang has been a great at less like a swell didn't it was tough for him because he's right footed as chosen, Marino said.

  • He's one of the quickest players.

  • Suppose having the squad, but to say absolutely outstanding it right back against Middlesbrough on a really good home debut against the against him.

  • Yeah, he's been a good find Alice.

  • What Marino say in there say doesn't make sense.

  • Well, I made him.

  • I made it not make sense, but it is not going to rush into is going to sign the right player long term rather than just getting anyone is available.

  • I think talking fans will like that even though they want no more players.

  • Yeah, and I don't think he's just gonna bring in anyone to please Tottenham fans that do want this signing in January.

  • He's no.

  • After a short term fix, he wants to build something for the long term.

  • He wants players that mold to his philosophy and what he's trying to achieve their.

  • So this panic signings aren't really the answer.

  • I mean, even if it was to be panicked loan signings, we look it say when going Gonzalo Higuain joined Chelsea from Aventis.

  • I'm not saying it was a panic signing, but it was a big name that the fans would have been happy at the time and he really didn't cut it here in the Premier League, look, it likes of Alexis Sanchez joining Manchester United.

  • That was in January.

  • Yes, again, another huge signing and that would sell shirts.

  • But it didn't pay off because it wasn't part of the philosophy.

  • So I think I think it it goes down to what they're looking to achieve.

  • Andres in Reno is looking for the long term, quite like you say.

  • Yeah, but don't you think they just need players now?

  • Don't I just think that means to be an urgency?

  • Not not just for talking.

  • Yes, definitely.

  • We're talking, but also Manchester.

  • There are so many teams that could potentially finish in those European places talking.

  • You remember that right fun of the eighth.

  • They're not.

  • You know, it's not disastrous by any stretch of imagination, but they are one point above Newcastle in 13.

  • That's how far looking for if they don't start getting results now, which is huge talking, finished 13th this season because they're a bad spell in January because they didn't have a striker.

  • The difference between you know, finishing 30 the Finnish Nate's right now is minuscule that that's massive.

  • Tottenham need to finish in Europe to keep this going.

  • Otherwise, for Europa League way, look to the delight figures last week.

  • The difference.

  • It's made their highest turn in London club now, and we've had people on here.

  • Financial experts who say that they were being in front of that for quite some time but taught them now want to see fans want to see that now players coming in off the back of that magnificent training ground.

  • Brilliant stadium.

  • Let's get some players, but we're talking about this strikers.

  • If they'd come in and fix all of totems problems, how do you know, particularly in January, that that would be what they would do?

  • Look, Aston Villa, they brought Wesleyan in the summer, thinking that he would score lots of goals and help them stay in the Premier League, and it took him a while.

  • Take even, just get off the mark.

  • And that's just one example.

  • So there'd be a lot of pressure whether they were gonna bring in your things completely.

  • Grates.

  • No, it's no guarantee, but it is poor planning.

  • If you have a massive need on a seemingly desperate situation.

  • Is Michael was referring to really need to get to Europe.

  • And don't do innocent about it by keeping used hashtag transfer talkto.

  • Have your say we'll have news from Scottish premise that next and we'll discuss.

  • He will be happy or concerned with their transfer with family clubs, in particular Chelsea over the last month or so.

  • And I'm afraid these quotes will not be good for any club.

  • Wanted to sign him, right, cause this is damn belly.

  • This is there from being sport, by the way he's quote, he told them after last night's game, he said, I finally on player that will remain to be so until the end of the season.

  • I do not think there will be a part of this winter.

  • Lots of things.

  • That being said, it's up to me to ignore that and remain concentrated on the pitch.

  • Okay, so that's from Moussa Dembele.

  • We've also got quotes from early on President Jean Michele Alice also from being sports this.

  • Who said Mousa Dembele?

  • I will not leave because he wants to stay and win something with Leon.

  • They have bean office for him on for other place.

  • None of those Hey, we want to keep will leave in January.

  • So Michael undoubtedly blow any of these top clubs who want to strike a blow.

  • But we have spoken about most of them ballet for the past month, and we've all been in agreement that you're gonna do very, very well to prise that talent away in January.

  • Leon Leon are quite difficult.

  • I call in the Daniel Levy of France as well.

  • You know, he is a hard negotiator.

  • Alyssa's well on.

  • It would have bean incredible off a carpet of active, paid by watering money to have got them belly.

  • Now I'm sure we'll be talking about this player in the summer.

  • And and Anton, he can see from Leon's point of view why they'd want to keep him and damn belly seems to be happy.

  • It's really interesting situation it, Leon, because there any seventh leaguer and they lost arguably their best player in Memphis to pied Torn a C L injury at the end of last year.

  • A swell.

  • So so that put a lot more pressure on Zambelli.

  • And at the end of 2019 he went eight goals without a game.

  • Then, in the all of a sudden last five games, he scored seven goals and scoring each of them.

  • His form has just transformed the 2020 so far.

  • So yes, as Michael's kind of saying basically is putting Maura Maura of value on him.

  • So he's got more, more expensive after every game has been more and more integral toe Leon doing at the moment as they tried to get back into the top.

  • You're playing places hence Leon are in no position to sell him right now.

  • Alice you He was mainly linked with Chelsea.

  • What does that mean for them now?

  • They need another striker, or do they just keep Geruman Batch?

  • Y you think they pulled?

  • We don't need another striker because Tommy Abraham has been brilliant for them so far this season.

  • 13 league goals.

  • One of the Premier League's top goal scorer.

  • So he's really doing the business.

  • Olivier Giroud Last season, he was frustrated not to be playing as much as he wanted to, but in the Europa League when it really mattered, he really stepped up to the plate.

  • Andi.

  • He clearly wants the minutes as well.

  • Frank Lampard hasn't been able to give him those recently, but I'm sure he'd be there if he was called upon and Michelle back Hawaii as well.

  • He's always looked good when when called upon.

  • So it's not like they haven't got options.

  • And we can't forget that a month or so ago, it looked like they might not even have the option Thio to add to the squad's this month.

  • So So, yeah, they've got They've got the options in Miami, Abraham looking.

  • It gets a lot of it might rest on Tommy.

  • A bomb went off injured last night.

  • We're just We're waiting to find out how bad that is, but if not, you know, they might not move for anyone.

  • Okay.

  • All right.

  • Let's go to a move that happened at two years ago.

  • Two years ago today, actually, we saw one of the highest profile swap deals ever.

  • Alexis Sanchez, go for Marshall to Manchester United, Henrik Mkhitaryan over Manchester United.

  • Arcel.

  • Okay, Michael, we all remember this one because it went on all of January about those deals.

  • What do you think of it at the time?

  • What do I think of it?

  • I thought Oh, no.

  • Did they get a piano on the picture?

  • Old truck, You know, like Alexis Sanchez playing on the piano.

  • Remember?

  • Officer supporters Quite strong about because obviously, Alexis, it was clear Alexis Sanchez wanted to leave the club, and they thought they were getting a pretty good part exchange in Mick Atari in obviously was fantastic.

  • The doorman was, and they didn't really show it enough at Manchester United.

  • But somebody works out rivers it.

  • What went wrong then?

  • Alice?

  • Well, the clubs now.

  • Yeah, he was the best player in the Premier League.

  • Sanchez, and obviously comes with such a huge price and everything.

  • And Manchester United fans would have thought that hopefully they could picked up.

  • He could have picked up from where he left off.

  • Hey, was arsenals player of the year, just eight months before joining United.

  • And then it was such a fall from grace.

  • The style of play just didn't seem to suit him.

  • Some people were saying, Is he burnout burnt out?

  • Is he playing too much?

  • Football s?

  • Oh, it's just kind of had a fall from Grace, Really?

  • And I remember venga at the time, saying he's lost his confidence.

  • And this is a player who needs to be able to feel confidence to be performing week in, week out.

  • And, yeah, it was hard for him to take that he hadn't had that fall from Grace, I guess.

  • Still the highest paid player in the game.

  • I think we've had people get in touch with the hashtag transfer talk.

  • Just suggesting that he's back, back in back in fitness now could potentially be recalled to the United.

  • If they can't find an option they want.

  • You know, there's still that hope with Alexis centers in there.

  • He could still be that guy he was before.

  • Yeah, all right, way saw that one now.

  • Yeah, exactly.

  • That.

  • There is still time for that to happen, right?

  • They were gonna do Now we're going to go through some of the clubs in the Premier League on Asked transfer team how either happy or disappointed they will be with their squads at this stage with nine days to go in this transfer window.

  • Okay, Anton of you.

  • Cheers to someone who is happy or unhappy.

  • Well, I'm a natural curmudgeon, so I'm gonna go unhappy on going T o Manchester night.

  • It has Manchester United.

  • You can't try to be too creative with these situations.

  • There are glaring needs and Manchester United.

  • But also I think you're really gonna social.

  • You know, you are a very calm human being.

  • If you're not frustrated right now, you're very Zen.

  • If you're not looking at your team, go.

  • You know what I want?

  • You know what I want on?

  • The fact of the matter is I want to hold him if I want to hold Midfielder want to creative midfielder.

  • I want to strike.

  • Please go and get them My recruitment team where my targets lined up.

  • What?

  • I'm not saying you know that guy.

  • That's the guy I want coming in.

  • What way is that happening?

  • So that's what the fans are asking.

  • S O is the head coach asking the same thing.

  • Let's give us someone who's happy.

  • I think Aston Villa could be fairly happy.

  • It's been a good couple of weeks for them.

  • They've got Pepper Rainer in the former Liverpool goalkeeper.

  • Obviously, that injury to Tom Heat and on New Year's Day was a big blow for them at the time.

  • The international gold picking up that injury ruling amount for the rest of the season with pepper.

  • Rain has come in and he's looked really solid defensively.

  • They've looked fairly, fairly good as well.

  • The sickle Tyrone Ming's also international level.

  • They did need a striker.

  • They needed a striker even before Weds legal injured on New Year's Day on, they have now

I told the team are back to go through all the big deals that are brewing With only nine days to go in the January window.
