To blench Michael Edon KB uh he says a very good evening uh gentlemen Paul our deep thought thoughts are in love with you and your family God bless very kind of you sir Ludy tun says uh Barcelona of transfer listed Rafia well that’s one we’ve looked at before sat hasn’t he we
Looked him a few times in the transfer shows Rafia I just can’t see it I feel like it’s it’s just somebody that we just going slot in at Man City randomly or he’s a great player um and we we we could use him I don’t know we we’ll see
If if the if any links pop up we we’ll analyze How likely it is and whether it would still be a good fit yeah I’m guessing too much money isn’t it going to be with wages and what have you um and Ed want to Fe him as
Well Yan says no to these bourou players to be honest we should do a lot better well we’re going to do a deep dive and see if they fit in or not happy TR Tuesday to you Michael I hope you all your pancakes I’ve not had any strangely
Enough I like coffee good evening to you Dylan Cary uh Darren Cox I’ve already said him I think Andy K good evening to you my friend Ron peacock fishing with Jay Bry Hall and lots and lots of others David brewis is also there Jordi Jess TV
And the never ending list not of KN gaming right so the links are with Lloyd Kelly and Philip billing they’re the ones we’ve seen so far added to in the chancell window a little link with Sal lanky so there are a few Bournemouth links St and is it a place
Of better the devil you know than better the ones you don’t I’m not sure um what have we got lined up with with the kind of his backs to Bournemouth I guess first play G to look at so we’ll start with Lloyd Kelly yeah he’s a good player
Defender um I think I’m G I’m gonna open this by saying because I think there’s going to be a lot of people who disagree with me which is fine um I I commented this to to Craig Hope the other day as well because he he implied and a lot of
Others are implying whenever we make a purchase it seems to fit into two categories either it’s the first one of it needs to be an upgrade on a starting 11 player or it needs to be a youth Prospect for the future and there doesn’t seem to be any other middle
Ground for a lot of people and it has to be one of those two options I would pose that there’s a third option to that and that is we can bring in a player if the value is right and it makes sense to improve the overall qu quality
Of the bottom end of the squad you don’t have to improve from the top down you can improve from the bottom up and the top down y um because improving only signing first team players is very expensive and it means that we’re we’re going to be left with players that we’ve
Got now that are deemed not good enough so let let’s say we have another summer where we go and spend really big on two more players one gets injured for the whole season think of what’s just happened to tanali the overall Squad quality has improved marginally barely anything um
So my point is if we I think we should also try and just throw a little mix into it where we’re improving on the bottom end of the squad as well if possible I your dummit um your Matt riches your your craft even though he’s been okay um players like that at the
Back end of the squad is improve on them as well not not completely we can’t exclusively do that otherwise you will you will Plateau out and you would just have an average Squad I agree you can’t that can’t be your only approach absolutely bang on but can we not find
This Middle Ground where we bring in really good first teamers but also improve the back end of the squad and also bring in youth prospects I feel like we need a combination of those three to make this project work um otherwise I feel like we’re going to
Stunt the growth a little bit if we just buy a tanali and an esack we only stick to those kinds of signings it doesn’t all have to be that way um I don’t know how you feel about it Billy but that’s basically the premise of this show in in
My opinion I’m 100% with you I think Squad depth is is as important as Squad quality um people are poo pooing the Philip billing kind of Link just think what Philip billing could do for this squad right now this minute in time right now he’d be an asset a massive
Asset as well although he’s suspended so well this minute probably not but you get M drift so Squad depth is as important as Squad quality absolutely and the higher the higher the quality of the depth I guess the better your squad is so yeah Philip Billings Lloyd Kelly
Dominic salanki okay they might cost too much money for for what we want them for but you know negotiations are there for that thing but they would improve the squad depth massively and therefore improve the quality of the squad so I’m 100% with that uh we’ve got a Twan Super
Chat from Shay Martin says good evening love the show Good Squad players indeed indeed thanks for that Shane very much appreciated so who we going to look up first then who’s first on the list then we’ll look at Lloyd yeah we’ll look at Lloyd because I mean Lloyd Kelly’s he’s
Young isn’t he he’s not very old is he is he 23 24 he’s that old 25 now oh only 25 it up yeah yeah I’ll do it if you want make up cool so Lloyd Kelly so obviously a lot of people stating that he’s not NE necessarily the best choice
Um I agree he’s not the best choice if we want another botman or that level he’s he’s not that is he is he good yes he he’s good technical quality he’s of a good age he’s got a good amount of experience um he’s left footed which
Gives us something well I say gives us something a bit different I I I get that most players on that side left footed anyway but it’s useful to have a left for in the squad um not the T list but his his physicality is fine he would be free as
Well and I would imagine his wage demand wouldn’t be outrageous I don’t think we’d have to give him thatt Target wages of a 100 Grand I would like to think um and it’s somebody that is a decent age profile again if you’re losing if you’re losing somebody out the back end of the
Squad in Paul dummit how how old is Paul dummit how old’s Paul at the moment what 31 uh maybe 32 that that neck of the woods though yeah we we can we can check Paul dumit is he is 32 right now so yeah for free
Should we replace a 32y old dumit with a 25-year-old Lloyd Kelly if we put it in that context hell yeah that’s a great signing it improves the bottom end of the squad there is potential sellon value in there as well if if in two to three years absolutely if we want want
To sign more botans and and this guy hasn’t progressed to where we need him at that point we can sell him he’ll be you know he’d have been in a good squad playing well um there would be some sellon value there so I feel like it’s
Good in terms of squad depth a bumping quality for the overall Squad um you know he knows the league I just think it’s a no-brainer I really do think it’s a no-brainer and then sell on value in the future for the for the ffb health of the club um it it
Would be really decent in that regard um he actually oh yeah um so if we scroll down we’ll have a look at some data just to to prove prove a few bits he’s obviously he’s only played 900 minutes this season so there are a couple of injury concerns over Lloyd Kelly and
People who stated that yeah you’re absolutely right he’s not a sure thing injury-wise and we’ll have a look at it on transfer marks you could be spot on um so if we scroll down and have a look at him versus fullbacks um because he does very much
Kind of do a Dan burn kind of thing when he plays and that he kind of plays as a wide Center half uh so as a center back versus as a fullback so the ball progression goes through the roof um as a center half shot creating actions it drops off as a
Fullback again he’s he’s not had the greatest season on paper it doesn’t look incredible um albeit Bournemouth defensively the the best team they’re doing a a lot better in terms of structure and offensive stuff yeah I get that those stats don’t look super green I appreciate that but it is about
Context and I’ve got him next to Dan burn um something I wanted to show people is I don’t normally do this but I’m going to go and show you more detailed statistics on FBF we’re going to scroll down and we’re going to look at some really nerdy things so we’re
Going to go into his passing data so this is specifically his passing um so we’ve got passes completed medium passes attempted medium and then you’ve got the Longs there as well the passes completed long you’ve got passes into the final third which are all really important
Things for how we want to play we want people that are competent at progressing the ball that are tidy with it fairly physical um and he’s okay with his passing metrics here they’re not bad he’s not attempting that many short passes to be honest uh if we go and have
A look at Dan bur’s version of the same thing if we go and look at pass this is Dan Burns version of it so his medium passes are just above average and his long passes are poor um and this passes passes into the final third is is
Lower is a lot lower than what Lloyd Kelly’s is so in terms of General bull progression as well and this is something we do see with Dan burn is when he receives the ball out wide he struggles with ball progression um it’s not it’s not one of his major
Strengths and it would just add a slightly different thing to our game I think he’s got a different skill set and I think he can massively improve as a player as well he is Young somebody who’s a center half slash this this is a very strange new role that people have
Kind of it’s not it is quite a new thing obviously the the whole thing was the um the inverted fullbacks with the right backs with Trent and all of that um and then the the new thing in the last few years has been your big physical Center halfes going out into fullback positions
We’ve done it with Dan burn pep does it with a lot of his Center halves he plays with four Center halves yeah um so I think Lloyd Kelly has potential um it’s definitely not a sure thing at all well this is Dan burn we don’t want to see
Dan Dan um is it a sure thing absolutely not could it be decent on a free yes it I think it absolutely could be so if we if we’re looking to improve the bottom end of the squad as a free transfer um see people saying we were scouting and signing better players under
Ashley I I I don’t what what’s wrong with what’s wrong with Lloyd Kelly what’s wrong with replacing a 25-year old Lloyd Kelly with a 32y old Paul dummit I think it makes sense to have a have a blend of that we can’t make this every signing because that wouldn’t work
Because then you you definitely do average out the quality of the squad um I don’t think it’s a terrible idea again his his contract is up so he’s got 10 caps for England under 21 as well uh he’s flexible he can play either side uh in the center and he plays out wide
People say Alex Murphy yeah but this guy’s got seven years experience on Alex Murphy that’s the difference maybe more than that um and Mark current market value 16 possibly up to 18 million maybe more if we can get them playing better there’s sell on value there as well so
Um let’s have a look at the injuries because I know that’s definitely something that people want to see let’s just have do this super chat from George and you can answer the question at the same time at 499 from George to thanks George he says stat foret those players
And they have Replacements to the back end of the s Squad then that is a good plan it’s not a question it’s a statement yeah I agree with that George and basically agree with what St says thanks for that George very much appreciated it go on K on so uh yeah so
Injuries it’s not perfect little niggles here and there of what so the most recent one uh was the 2223 season last season which we was out for a 100 Days with an ankle injury for the 11 games that’s not great although there doesn’t they don’t appear to have
Updated anything for this year um bits here and there of a month that was a long one so yeah injuries aren’t aren’t perfect to be honest it’s something that’s would have to be assessed um a few people saying he isn’t good enough I mean is he better than Paul
Dammit that’s the question you need to answer if he if he’s if he’s improving the back end of the squad some pretty high quality serat teams have been looking at him haven’t they it’s not like just us is it is it into Milan or we’re looking at him someone like that I
Haven’t seen the links personally but it’s possible um but yeah for for people who are who are completely shutting down this as an option I I I I personally don’t see what the issue is with with improving the back end of the squad you you know you need more options defensively obviously
Matt Richie is the last resort as a fullback Paul dummit is a center half fullback both of those are at the end of their contracts we need to we we can’t replace we’ve got five potentially six people going we can’t buy Six Superstars we can’t we can’t do that and
To be completely honest with you everyone he’s not shown that much faith in the Youth Academy players so it’s not like he’s about to promote five or six youth players because he’s he’s not really given them much of a look in because they’re obviously not at the
Quality necessary at the moment or yet I’ll say yet I think that’s fair so if we if we need to bring in six players we can’t afford six more Tali in various positions across the pitch it’s just ridiculous what what else should you do then for people saying he’s not good
Enough all right well where do we go and you can’t just give me a bunch of amazing players as suggestions we can’t drop 250 million in the summer there has to be a compromise somewhere if we if we’re going to slowly progress this project there has to be a
Compromise you’ve got to be able to bring in players that aren’t Superstars 100% and Lloyd Kelly has the potential to become maybe not a superstar but certainly a very very good Premier League player and and he has been a very good Premier League player already for bouth in the
Games he’s played um clad says is Alex Murphy V lyd Kelly comparison stats absolutely not Alex Murphy has he played any Premier League minutes I don’t think he played any is he he hasn’t played enough minutes to get data yet so not not data that we would have access to it
Would be all internal stuff an an sas has been on the pancakes but look of it uh Jord rck say looking at the stats isn’t good enough for a backup player I’m not sure I he clearly is because you the it test works with him as well mean I’ve watched
Lloyd Kelly on countless occasions and he’s a solid solid Defender no doubt about it we do need to reduce the age profile of the squad as well I mean it’s no secret that our starting lineup against Forest had an average age of 28.4 and we had a 17y old in the
Starting lineup that’s bananas yeah we do need to to to lower the general age of that Squad because it’s too high that’s why every transfer recently has been 23 23 23 24 20 like because we need to bring that down add to that Gordon’s early 20s and yeah you know you know so
There were some aging plays in that what Young Murphy left or right foot he’s left footed Paul uh King hoddle says good evening he can’t be 68 kilograms maybe when he was 14 yeah I don’t think that’s right I think yeah he’ll be more than that five
511 and a half six foot he’ll be more than 68 kilos pil B says stat suggest he’s not much of improvement on dmit well well where you finding dmit stats from Reach for the Stars says T toown deck uh he isn’t good enough says Nick on what metric can you can you categorically
Tell me that he’s better than Matt Richie and pul dummit in defensive positions right now Paul says next season bird will be covered for CB but we need another two center backs to cover injuries yeah especially if lal’s go goes as well um although there are
Rumors that he may be looking at a new two-year contract but where that comes to fruition or not who knows Dylan says I agree stat out first didn’t believe this would be a good signing after your view I think he would be a good signing
As a free agent what I say he’s not costing anything either is it yeah look if there were rumors going around that we were going to pay 15 million for this lad I would completely agree with all of you hell yeah not a chance he’s a good
Player but he’s not we we can’t be dropping that kind of that kind of change on someone if we need a bit more of a quality guarantee and I get that that’s not there he’s okay he’s good player but he’s the right age profile he can improve he’s left footed he’s got
Experience it’s fine not I’m not paying decent money for him so but it’s a free transfer guy so I for people who aren’t sure it’s free we can make a return on him and he’ll make more appearances than rich and D it n confirms it was AC mil we link with
Him and also Spurs Accord toing hodle uh good in the three says Darren uh Joe Linton says burn would be D replacement and Kelly would be Burn’s replacement not the other way round look I mean there’s there’s got to be right so there’s a bunch of positions that people want improvements in right
People want a new a new right wing people a lot a lot of people want a better migy in that position a lot of people want a six a defensive midfielder to release Bruno and I would imagine that most people want those two to be good signings high
Quality signings which are going to be costly so that’s two big ones Striker a striker to to obviously compete as a third choice or or step in for obviously Callum Wilson aging we don’t know what’s going on there so that’s three positions that ideally would’ want reasonably good
Quality in to upgrade the first 11 that’s three so at what point do we compromise not everybody can be a superstar in that window there’s going to have to be a compromise I I agree with you I’d love everybody to just be amazing but we you can’t do that and
We’ve got Matt Richie and Paul dummit going potentially craft as well Hayden’s gonna well Hayden isn’t permanently gone because he’s still in under contract Hendrick’s gone as well we’ve got loads of players just going to disappear we need to replace that in the squad because at the moment the only
Midfielder he’s promoted through that’s not Lewis Miley is is Travis Hearns who’s not played so you know we need we need some more players otherwise we’re going to have a tiny Squad so un unless you guys want to park the Winger for a season and we’ll keep
Migy and keep everyone that that people have been frustrated with we’ll keep all of them and we’ll just get an absolutely incredible left back SL left sides and a half then to compete with botman and bird but you know there has to be a compromise at some point
Surely yeah I agree I’m just rambling now but I feel like it’s it’s a fair point like I I agree with with everyone in that he might not be the right answer but he’s free and I think he’s an upgrade there you go Fox he’s got a good
Point there to be fair Kelly on a fre is it can’t complain really it depends on his wave demands and so on free interest from Liverpool Milan Juve German clubs which puts him in a strong position to Dem Man City ages yes that’s another another thing isn’t it as a fre here
Will be popular yeah lots of clubs he’s a quality player there’s no doubt about it and yet people are turning their nose about it I don’t understand as soon as somebody starts offer in a 100 we will walk away from this anyway straight away so so there’s lots of interest in him
Yet some of our fans don’t think he’s good enough for us there you go strange Mark Singleton who’s a Bournemouth supporter he’s a good player I see him most times he plays at Bournemouth yeah he’s a good player lloy Kelly no doubt about it just
Join live for want still have to do this have to skip to the beginning C’s the best keing for this one big up Lads thanks mate Paul emry says I think he’s defense signing for backup for botman but would not be filled from those Center back covering at
Fullback but he’s not the you AR typal Center half is he at 511 I mean he’s he is quick that’s one of his qualities he’s got Pace about him he’s not one your archetypal massive sign kind of you know what I mean aerial draws rate is pretty good yeah clearances there’s a
Center half not great much no uh gladly thought are quite like it but why would he come to us knowing that he’s going to be a fringe play at best he 26 short want first team football I know would I would have 26 well that’s a
Good point actually yeah but if he wants first team football he would have to drop a level because he’s not good enough he’s not good enough to displace botman he would be good enough to challenge to be a rotation player or to challenge as a as a strong wide fullback
If we’re going to keep this kind of tactic going where we drop into a back three and the fullback has to also be kind of a center half and be you know it works in regard and the fact he’s left footed um because he yeah not every play we sign could be a
Marky side in Squad depth development takes time and pragmatism says no leopard yeah absolutely 100% uh forget Squad players for now what’s the absolute minimum we need for the first team Striker number six left back right wing I don’t think we need left back as such because I think leis
Hall will certainly be the left back at some point in the near future whether that’s this season or not I don’t know but uh in flam said he would take killing a three I think one of us would uh I would I’d keep one of Lal or craft
Well I think you might be seeing both of them if depends if Lal accepts he might think he wants a bigger contract well LEL leaves as well there you go we might we might end up losing dummit Richie lels and craft all in the same summer that’s that’s four players who play
Defensive positions all gone immediately uh yeah what do we do there what what would the suggestion be I’m sure we should get rid of all over 30 players about eight of them and get three top players in and a few plus a few Lloyd Kelly for people that aren’t okay with this right so we lose those four players right we lose lel’s Craft um who else are we losing dummit Richie four players three of which are are main Defenders and Richie is kind of a he has played Defender what what’s your plan then for
People who don’t agree with this pop it in a comment what would the plan be you know if you want to spend big on a right wing and a six and a this and a that and a forward what do we also do to replace four departing Defenders like that’s a
That’s a lot of holes to plug let’s not forget that Fabian sher’s not very young either he’s you know he can’t keep going forever so uh don’t have dummit stats Alex but I’ve always point this chat if nobody’s loued an opinion without being condescend no one’s being cond sending pil
Bod that’s a strange comment no need for it really if if you think that dummit is better than Lloyd Kelly then fine you’re you’re allow that opinion I don’t think he is no Kelly is currently better than Paul dmit uh Paul says the big money needs to
Be on the right wing and strike the positions can be doing much cheaper than me well if we’ve going to buy number six I think they’re quite expensive as well especially quality ones no point buying a not very good one um because it’s a really responsible position isn’t it can
We talk about some better players that we never sign yeah you can’t win when we look at unrealistic ones but we linked with them that’s a problem but then we’re looking at you know it’s just it’s just players and by the way guys I’m not just con I
Haven’t just constructed this show out of then a we”ve been linked to these players so that’s why we you know we have to talk about it uh we got another Super Chat from chippers who says I can’t understand people saying no to a free transfer for a play for a
Player we can’t spend massive money and we still will have ffp R in the summer we need a squad something we have not had AB yet absolutely 100% and you’re seeing that now with the injuries I mean having to play a 17y old in Midfield we need Squad depth there’s no doubt about
That whether it be a lot of people saying craft is probably staying I haven’t seen that but if he said it in in an interview then fine um but okay fine three three holes to plug there’s still more we need to do yeah uh Tom says no team has 25
Superstars in their squad absolutely uh Fair points while M AB says signings like this would simply show how hamong we are by ffp no way we move to the next level with these players but it wouldn’t only be these players that’s the whole point it would
Be more Tali and isacs with a with a sprinkling of sorting out the bottom end of the squad it’s it’s it’s not one of the other we can do all of these things at the same time uh the thing is the club wouldn’t let anyone know who we after the Press
Always [ __ ] well this is just linked from the Press I guess so yeah obviously we’re not in the know nobody is even even people that pretend they are um Tino should be left back next season if trip stays he’s a right back isn’t he he’s a right footed player you want a
Specialist left back the most of the time but as cover fine maybe Lloyd Kelly’s a a smoke screen Christ all this uh bad words for Lloyd Kelly we haven’t even come on to other player yet would first Liverpool or Milan uh no he wouldn’t but he’d be a good squad
Member there wouldn’t he he’d be getting games for Liverpool this season 100% he would with Robertson being up so long he’ have had definite games for Liverpool this season yeah let’s go on the next one let’s go on to people yeah more cherries so this one I’m less convinced
About because we’d have to pay for him and I don’t like paying for players I’d love if we could get everyone on a free transfer I’m I’m a little bit more frustrated that we haven’t utilized the free transfer market more since Eddie how well since the Takeover ideally
Because I think there have been some really interesting pickups that we’ve missed out on um and I think it would help if if we get the right one in it would help accelerate the project because they’re free um fine sign signing on Fe and SL on wages but that’s
Besides the point that they’re still cheaper than they would be if compared to if you had to actually go and pay for them um so Philip billing nobody likes this one because I think there is a general acceptance that if this happens Joe Linton isn’t with us
Anymore I think that’s the that’s the the kind of main thought of everyone um I don’t think we go for somebody like him if everybody stays midfielder wise so I agree with everyone else I think if Joe goes he’s such an important player that we need we would need to replace him with
Somebody of decent quality I don’t think pH Philip billing is enough of a I don’t think it would plug the hole sufficiently to be completely honest I think Philip billing is a good player um the left footed aspect of this would definitely give us some some Alternatives in the way we could play
He’s 6 foot three he’s strong he’s combative he’s in the right position he had a great goal scoring year last season wages are moderate but again he’s contracted until 2027 we’d have to pay quite a lot of cheese to get him um although he’s not playing too much at
The moment he’s on 1200 minutes with four goal contributions this year 20 appearances so he’s still got a fair amount in there um I think he’s a good player he is a he’s a really good player uh and I’m probably going to upset um King huddle here I feel like this is
More of a Spurs player than than an us player I don’t think he would be good enough to fill the hole of Joe Linton to be completely honest I would prefer a slightly better quality player um however I do really like him I think I think he’s decent the age as well you
Know by the end of the season he’s going to be 28 um I think he a better defensive play than Joe lton yeah yeah I think he’s probably got a little bit more um you know Joe Linton can get caught stepping up a little bit as our entire midfi all
Of them do um but Joe Linton does get caught sometimes because he’s like oh ball let’s go break people and just steps and he needs to stay in his position um but what will say about him is I think he’s the only player I’ve ever seen who’s dominated Joe lton for
The Midfield position which was at St James last season he completely isolated him out of the game yeah so he he does have qualities he is very good he can play that kind of role um I’ve definitely rattled King hodle there um anyway yeah tackles uh with defensive statistics so
This is him profiling as an attacking midfielder versus is a Winger so as you can see kind of as similar to what Joe Linton because Joe Linton kind of does a bit of all of that for us um so passes tackles so in terms of Joe lon’s offensive metrics he’s nowhere near I
Mean just to prove a point if we bring up Joe Linton let’s do that it’s gonna make a lot more sense go away Dan bur we’re trying to search for Big Joe there he is so yeah very similar ages uh oh we don’t have oh we don’t
Have him as an attacking midfielder SL Winger this year FB ref have let us down fine we’ll do midfields uh so versus midfielders ball progression is not super high defensive defensive metrics as a midfielder are still really really good uh lots of touches in the attack and penalty area offensive data is
Really tidy but if we look at this versus Joe linton’s so this is Joe linton’s ball progression is a lot higher in terms of his dribbling success rates higher uh defensive metrics are marginally higher higher shot creat actions so they are very similar they’re both both sets of data are based on
Actually 2400 minutes so they are profiling extremely similar if I compare him too if we compare Philip Bing to midfielders you’ve got tomina and Joe Linton is on that list rabio dor so I’m not quite sure how Dwight mcneel snuck on that list of midfielders very odd um yeah so I I get
It I completely get the um no you you loan Lelo out because you didn’t like him don’t start that nonsense um address his point for before we go any further I’m sorry we are in the final year ffp so I know ffp won’t matter next summer as it’s the third
Year so it doesn’t turn over we’re ffp3 and craft was offered a new contract I mean that’s not how that works we just never St it we knew we lose the last third year and we just gained the new that’s not how that works it’s rolling
Isn’t it you it’s a rolling you forever have the three years you just lose the furthest away one and you gain a new year that’s doesn’t end and we also spent quite a lot of money so the thing that will fix it is is all the Adidas
Stuff and hopefully we can actually sell a player for some form of money at some point that would be helpful uh this is his career today if anybody’s interested a lot of experience uh um you’ve got oh I forgot he was at Huddersfield in the pr he was ratty at
Huddersfield wasn’t he one of the raty G players he’s pretty like that b to be fair so this is what people really liked last year 34 oh god I’ve completely what happened there let’s do the super while you looking for that then Alexander $499 I think everyone is missing the
Point three is the best value we don’t know if the system will work for him someone’s trash maybe our treasure excellent point yeah there you go so last season seven goal one assist from Midfield 34 starts very reliable always available um and he again despite not being used
Quite as much recently still on four goal contributions um I feel like I’m being really harsh because I feel like the data suggests he’s fine um I don’t know I just wouldn’t want to pay for him because I feel like if if we start adding because I feel like that
Midfield is already quite good we’ve already you know with tanali and Bruno and Joe Linton and the emerging Miley and Anderson Willer we’ve got some cracking midfielders I’m really sorry I left Shan long stuff out of that L’s B this is the only mfi I didn’t name but I
Feel like in that area there’s I don’t know maybe I’m being mean I personally would would say no because I think he’s just going to cost too much I mean what what would he cost according to transfer Mark so his current rumored value is 22 million I I
Don’t think we’d get in for anywhere near that I think they’d Quote us 40 45 maybe more I think they’ double that um and I just don’t think I think they charge us probably what we would if unfortunately we would ever have to get rid of Joe Linton if it doesn’t work
They’ just charge us what we sold Big Joe for and I don’t I don’t I don’t like that as a straight swap I don’t think it’s an upgrade what’s that percentage on on the Newcastle United interest it’s not in 100 is it or 10% thank God for that thought it
Was POS possibility of transfer thought it was 100 Jesus Christ I’m a fan of billing I like him but I’m with you I think he cost too much and he’s not Joe Linton nowhere near as good as Joe Linton and we’d be W in a higher quality
Player if jol jolon wants to leave however if jol was to stay they still want too much money for him as a squad player so no if J was to stay we’ve got midfielders we got very unlucky this year with injuries plus a gambling ban for a midfielder we
Shouldn’t generally out of 20 Seasons you you should only get one funny season like this with a Midfield injury we’ve got seven on the books we don’t need any more especially if we keep everybody we don’t need another one so I feel like the money would be better spent
Elsewhere pet there’s a lot of people that want other positions um unless we go in in for a six but again Eddie H seems to be saying that we have enough and we’re not going for a six so yeah I don’t think we go for a midfielder like
This I’d be shocked unless Big Joe leaves uh Yan says Le for Macy looks like he wants to come I don’t know where you’ve seen that Yan I know we link with him in the Press but I mean some of the other teams that are into him PSG as
Well are after him I think Liverpool also what would he choose Newcastle United even if we are after him I’m not sure where you’re getting that information from but there you go he is better than Kelly says Paul a completely different position is anyone having issues with the quality of the video
Well I’m not sure about that um can’t anyway Steven Don says watch Kelly a few times wait until you see in the tackle you’ll love him I like him I think he’s a good player Tristan says every window we link with Eddie H how’s kid players and Newcastle have enough
Money to cover 540 million pound 540 million pound players sorry uh if PSR is removed this summer but it isn’t removed this summer just rolls over to the next one so this summer we will lose the 21’s the sum of 21’s transfer window and sum of 21 I believe was that still Gast
Wasn’t it so we’re not going to lose an awful lot from the from from our ffp peor of seing are we at all potentially not um I’m just looking at the agency of um Philip billing so it’s it’s roof roof are a German German agency with 10 well 88
First tier players on their books do we know anyone nobody that we’ve really dealt with recently mané Max arens haara F Krug um Todd campwell no not really nobody that we’ve really had any recent dealings with theyve got a stable of some decent players they have now I mean
Some of the ones we look at we already know one of the names on them I we know a few of these na K yeah it’s it’s a well established agency um but still they don’t um there’s nobody on there that we would know well that we know that the club have dealt
With recently you know that have joined or left so one says man g g do in Jord all of his for great Manny g bo Eddie getting a CDM actually you want one I’m short was just picking Midfield allowing Bruno to move further forward like I gave up on
His Jordy started it and then just went man Ed get CDM but he does actually want one I’m sure tar was John Sinclair so I’m not going any further with that billing is a j7 if you bought off wish I T of agree with that um Philip Bing he ain’t standard to
Improve in any of the midfielders we have he’s a downgrade on j7 but he isn’t good backup midfielder too expensive to be a backup midfielder though isn’t he I would rather have Joe Linton billing I think we all would uh what do people think half summer budget will be well we don’t know
Do we I’m guessing it’ll be similar to last year anyway here’s another ex Bournemouth player that we couldn’t really have at a squad Colin Wilson any reason well I mean it’s just the theme of the show isn’t it with cherries um he Ain broke that as well as he
He’s broken everything else um to be honest I feel a little bit harsh with the treatment of him I I I understand when people get frustrated when there’s a muscle injury but if he gets he gets into a wrestling match and gets injured by neocar that’s not his fault I feel
Like that’s a bit harsh that’s not he’s not injured right now because of his injury record he got assaulted by somebody very strong like I don’t know if that’s his fault I don’t think it is I think that’s unfair um hang on let’s just address this King
Hodle didn’t say to start for you just say you’d be a Spurs type signing didn’t say to start for you that’s you have red him no doubt about it can we still loan players from s the league for next season who knows who knows what will happen between now and
Then sorry Philip want to keep big Jo good vers play the real handful but he’s a downgrade yeah I agree with that I agree with that okay you win Trigger he says if Joe Lon should be an upgradeing needs to be a top Sid in yeah you have to
Spend a lot of money on him um crazy how we all terrified of j7 leaving mad turnaround I don’t think he will leave anyway anyway I hope not um well the reason we’re looking at Callum is just if he goes I mean oh my what there’s an Arsenal rumor floating
Around I’ve not seen that I don’t know if anybody has seen any Arsenal rumors but according to transfer marked he’s going to Arsenal again yeah if he ends up going I mean I don’t think we should let him go at all I think we should bring in a young wide
Forward who’s versatile who we can develop keep Callum as a rotation option so we’ve got three players who can play in that position that would be my preference because he is still contracted until 2025 however what what are we this year 23 24 and then next year’s 24 25 so in
The summer it’ be his last year his final year on his contract so if he wanted anything from from him transfer value wise itd have to be in the summer unless we do an extension but then obviously the older he gets the less this is less money you’re ever going to
Get for him so in the summer could we get a cheeky 15 million from someone possibly yeah I don’t think we paid that much for him what did we pay for him 20 20 yeah yeah 20 so I reckon we could get close to a close to what we originally
Paid for him to be completely honest and then Andy Ford has just taken it right out of my mouth um swapsies would there be would there be the potential for any swapsies with any kind of salanki billing obviously like Kelly are free a free um does open up a very interesting
Conversation as to would you know would it be used as a bargaining chip potentially or do we just let him see out the final year of his contract in The Following season um and use him as a as a backup play player um you know I’m
Sure he’s a great leader he’s a great guy to have around he’s been here for a long time um or do we try and get a transfer fee for him in the summer it’s a big question i’ I’d like to see him as our third choice Striker next season I go be
Honest I think he’s fantastic for a game a month if need be Cup games game of month cover injuries he’ll still score goals if he’s fit of course but if he’s playing less there’s more lik of him being fit so I’d like to see it was our
Third choice but if I mean if someone comeing with a 20 million pound bid for him I’ll drive him to the blue airport myself even though I can’t draw so yeah look the white wi says we should be having a with Kelly billing and sank on
The tunnel and saying hey you could be here in the summer and playing Champions League so have a think today I think they’ll turn around and say Champions League this is James’s Park not out lane Tottenham Stadium but still I I don’t think champions league is in our REM this year
If I’m perfectly honest we haven’t had a big enough Squad to rotate this year these are great additions that we could comfortably play in the cups and bring on for final 15 minutes of the game exactly exactly well all rotation if if we do qualify for a euroopan competition we’re going to need
A lot more depth yeah cical J makes a good point still a lot of sponsorship deals to be had Stadium naming training ground naming and training kit sponsor yes if they if we’re allowed to I mean that they trying to hinder our progress at every given opportunity don’t know
The so-called big six but I mean they’re getting a few more opponents to their kind of way of thinking now aren’t they I think there’s seven clubs at the latest um well because you’ve got quite a lot of clubs that are on the cusp of being able to push and they just can’t
Do it you’ve got Villa that are quite close knocking on the door yeah we’ve been doing it I feel like West Ham are kind of there in that they’ve they obviously won the the conference league and they’ve kind of been teetering on that kind of with there but not quite level
Um there’s a few of them knocking on the door and there are restrictions and and it’s it’s frustrating for them actually coffee I can’t do a poll for the chat but thanks for misleading our viewers never mind is Paul doing the commentary now no he’s not now he’s going be back hopefully
Thursday uh not to billing says Southern Jordy uh that’s why Everton are being done twice ffp has always the last three ring years exactly exactly hang on a minute I’m really confused at this can I just bring a comment up because yeah right so another person is saying
It’s it’s the end of a threeyear cycle and there’s a fresh three-year cycle that starts am I am I complete have I been listening to the wrong stuff I’m I’m I’m starting to question myself now I’m 99.9% sure it’s a rolling threeyear period right Are We Wrong have we got I
Think it’s rolling I’ve always I’ve always worked under the the Assumption it was a rolling three-year period there is no at the end of this year we just start a fresh if that was the case every three years you have a massive billion trillion kind of transer Windows doesn’t happen I
Don’t think that’s right Stephen I think I think that’s that’s it’s a rolling thing and all we do is lose the final year and we gain a new one that’s how it works and until we start losing our new owners years then we’re going to be
Beyond the eight ball this one now 21 summer will be the last one of Ashes would it will it what was our 2020 so what was it 20 2021 or 21 2122 season wasn’t it so now we’ve got another year of haven’t we so hang a minute what what
Will be now what do they include 23 24 so it be 24 25 wi it next season are they including 23 24 right now because it’s a it’s an ongoing season isn’t it yeah so they’re including that so we include the 2324 um 22 2223 yeah and a 2122
Yeah so the 2122 is what we will lose that’s actually last summer isn’t it is it I’ll have a look when when when did they take over it was October 22 wasn’t it so it it’s 2223 season was last season no 212 no it’s right yeah it’s
Right it’s three years this year so 20 21 a came wer it no 21 22 we got that was the Takeover so that included um Bruno coming in as well in the January yeah yeah Tri so I don’t know if you want to show it I think this was our transfer
Business um arrivals wise so if if we’re right I hope that makes sense I think that’s right um some people saying it’s calendar year I I can’t be bothered I’ll just show you what was in in that that season because I I’m not sure I think surely it’s
Season it can’t be calendar year that’s Bonkers um so these are the inss 42 on Bruno 30 Christ I forgot 30 on chriswood we got most of it back it’s fine um 30 on Joe willick I think it was less than that these are in Euros 25 Dan burn Kieran
Trippier we got the loan of Matt Target obviously we made that permanent at the end the next season’s figures and then what did we do departure wise we didn’t make any money oh god well undisclosed fee for floran leun when he went to alavez so milon couple of million chops
Would it I mean that’s tragic the fact that total market value of Departures was 52 million euros and we made probably buger all from it that’s horrifying um oh no rip Christian at to as well that’s horrible um yeah so we lost Muto at that point as
Well yeah so we didn’t make any money that that’s probably why that that it doesn’t look very good in the books because we’ve made absolutely sod all in the outgoings for that year and we paid quite a lot for by our standards at that point in in the incomings
Um difficult difficult and then that obviously it’ll be The Following season that that starts to matter so hence why free transfers can be important right so people are saying this is pf’s third year uh it was stated on Sky Sports as we’re in the third season that’s right
Yeah so the first season will go own’t it so the first season of PFS will go so we have got a bit a bit more wiggle room a little bit uh rolling three 105 million loss they’re going to apparently they’re going to increase 105 roll in three years so yeah every everybody’s
Got completely different opinions it’s hilarious Nick says it runs July to June which I I think is probably more accurate people saying it’s it’s canar year see people saying PSR resets for every Premier League club in the Summer where where does it say that where is it
This Jay Jay Jay’s rightly didn’t he the reason no one spends is because the covid rights offseasons are dropping off exactly okay that makes sense exactly great start says pokera uh Steven says guys there nothing to do with the Years or new capsule it’s the same for everyone that’s why no one
Spent in January covid again Co seasons are written off so it’ll either be seasonal year or tax year for the clubs be one of the two uh it links to financial statements as far as I know which will be the 31st of December but some people are saying
Summer to Summer some people are saying calendar year to December losses for 2122 standing at 70.7 million so there’s 35 on top of that then basically Joe will comeing has actually signed him in the summer from the season before the loan no that’s not true PSR resets for every Premier League
Club in the summer it’s not difficult not by one year it does not for three years yeah no that’s not how it works all it’s on the right hand side Alex I don’t know what he’s on about there um ffp wins July to June on a rolling basis that’s sounds about right to
Me um George asking what you drinking uh it is kru Campo from sevia no drop that uh RAB says why fa just separate property assets from the players and wage assets like two separate companies winning therefore an unscrupulous owner cannot load a club with debt interesting point very interesting
Point uh no resets June that’s correct look you will see in the summer as it’s a new loss period it doesn’t reset the three years though you lose a year you don’t lose all three years and start again that’s not how that works yeah uh Tristan says from what I saw we
Were allowed allowance because of Ashley’s not spending but we are close to ffp limit Simon Jordan cleared up a while ago well I don’t know if he cleared it up it’s we it’s what it was well documented that that was the reason like yeah he he was correct but he
Didn’t clear it up personally everybody cleared it up it was a thing new owners could spend a fortune on assets such as stadiums and training grounds with no risk I agree with that I think I don’t think your training ground and your Stadium should come and and you know
Your player signings hamper that I really don’t Everton again screwed for right now aren’t they and yet West Ham got a free Stadium how’s that I was distracted by the comment my wife looks at me as if I was [ __ ] in her handbag after I said
What about getting C back till the end of the season well he’s he’s on contract in in in France isn’t he is it is it amens so he couldn’t even do that if he wanted to uh third of PF maybe scy will stop mentioning our new owners all the
Time that’s a good point actually yeah um oh Toms just said um Victoria Malaga I know I found it in SB like last month I really like it it’s really good Dylan says apparently are we interested in Don Jonathan David that that’ll impress royan royan R he’s a massive fellow
Fellow kanok isn’t it funny nobody knows what the ffp rules are just the pl screwing everybody else but the lead six I believe there’s a big chance to be in the fourth rank in the table well this season I don’t think so it’s possible but it’s possible we’ve got to
Go on a really good winning run Paul glance thinks we can still finish second amazing my feeling is all over 30 players will go except trips I don’t think B will go either young that’s a lot hang on a minute hang on a minute all players over 30 except trips
So that’s I mean I that’s goalkeepers right as well so that’s Pope dubravka Gillespie Sher lels dumit burn who else you got Matt Richie Wilson Wilson that’s nine so you’re saying all those nine are gonna go that’s a lot of players definitely not I I I think I
Don’t think he meant to include goalkeepers in that potentially but even so Billy says I’m getting a headache please stop yeah I think I am too Granny says it doesn’t reset the furthest back furthest back year drops out the accounts on the New Year’s coming to the
Books that’s it exactly is of how it works that’s how I see it that’s how I see it without a doubt anyway we’ve come to the end of the show thank God we’ve Cherry Picked bour we’ve had an argument about ffp um AB says I love how sat just exposes
The BS well there you go uh let’s answer this question do you think uh fra and Jamal Lewis will play with Newcastle next season no there’s more chance of Lewis I think I don’t think he’s really both got contracts though that’s the problem they won’t they won’t play I
Think F will leave I think F will leave I think I think it’s a it’s a fair assumption that they won’t play but will they still be part of the club possibly because they’ve still got another year on the end of their um contracts so yeah if you enjoyed the stream says
All coffee don’t forget to hit the like button and subscribe button it’s free to do so feel free to use a Super Chat Fe chat or become a member and help support the channel that’s the final point and actually Alison maxman just in uh just saying Newcastle United should look for
L moves in the Saudi League what that then Maxi I agree I agree I don’t know anyway we have come to the end of the show uh thanks to everyone for watching it’s been a good laugh tonight um even it’s a serious kind of subject and you know a lot of
Denters about the Bournemouth players that we seem to be after whether they’re linking that to anyhow I guess there’s some truth in that um but we’ve looked at the two players both very good players one I think’s okay for us one I don’t think is um but still both very
Good players um but thanks to you all for watching uh and taking your Tuesday nights to watch us hopefully we’ll be back possibly Thursday not a lot going on at a minute but we certainly back Thursday for the Bournemouth preview face Lads Friday and then back to the
Match on Saturday it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow everybody Valentine’s Day so I don’t think we’ll be doing a show tomorrow um people will be too busy kind of preing their partners and things like that so until Thursday I guess I wish you all a very good night and we shall see you Thursday
Away the lads and Lasses Bre

As long as we don’t spend 30-40 mill on solanke for upgrade of the lower end of the squad that’s fine hopefully Howe will scout other teams than Bournemouth after billing and Kelly sign
Have to look at it as separate buckets – lower squad ins/outs like Kelly on free for Dummett on same wages is sensible. Otherwise, sniffing around Billing, Solanke is absolutely mid. Poor look for PIF and worrying sign of relegation-scrapper mindset from Eddie IMHO. PSR limits may look different after June financial year w/ incoming rev – Adidas & other deals.
Every club needs,foot soldiers and we need to replace ours
Freaking Eddie Howe, sell guimaraes to buy Philip billing. Fantastic
Wait to see the outcome of the latest FFP review.Things could change in that Dept .
Alex. The voice of reason and reality. No hyperbole, just facts and sanity. Respect.
Lloyd Kelly would be a heck of a signing on a free transfer to replace the likes of Dummett and Ritchie. I'd be happy with that and Solanke to replace Wilson as long as we are bringing in a 3rd striker as well behind Isak and Solanke.
Get well soon
Is Eddie trying to help out Bournemouth Financially or something? 👀
Newcastle need to find some diamonds in the rough, only way we can get to the top with current ffp. This Minteh fits the bill, more of the same high ceiling let Eddie coach them to stardom
Well done Billy & Alex. Thank you. Wishing Paul well and safety.
Paul so sorry to hear the sad news that your not doing well at the moment .But you are such a strong person .Hope to see you back on Thursday night . regards Barbra
I;ve Noticed Luke Edwards back to his negative spin stories against the club. He might as well drive Ashworth to Manure himself.
Regards to paul.great show and content,thanks Billy and statto.

Why are they making the team worse with second class signings. It is obvious we need a good striker.
Absolutely agree with you Alex. If you have players who are only good enough to start in a pl team in the bottom third of the pl with players who are good enough to start for a team in the middle third then your squad gets better. You need cover at every position and another 3 players to make 25 man pl squad so we need better back up players. This goes hand in hand with getting our academy better buying in young players to develop to either turn into players for the squad or sell at a profit as well as buy a few top players . It's a proven way for long term success e.g what af did at mu and others have done. Hope you are feel well soon Paul and the best for your family
Fulkrug would be a good rotational physical striker on the right price
Cant believe so many people still dont have a clue how ffp actually works. It doesnt start again in the summer. It always continues on a rolling system
Kelly is 6,3 on his wiki page
I absolutely love Paul, and I'm sure it would've been great as a trio. so I want to be clear. This is NOT(OMG all Caps,im gonna get blocked…lol) a dig or shade in anyway. But to Wilhem the Eleventeenth and Alexander the Almost as Great…I must say Bravo. This episode in addition to the one about the potential of the 24/25 lineup have been 10 out of 10 for me. I don't have an exact reason…although the comment Billy made about fans dismissing Billings, Kelly and Solanke out of hand really caught my ear.Many of those same ppl were adamant about Anthony Gordon being a waste. They were calling him a bust after 2 or 3 weeks. And now…??? But seriously, an amazing brace from Billy n Alex. 2 on the Trot. Love deep dives. Can't wait til I catch u guys live. It's midnight on my side of the pond. So you guys will be getting up soon. I hope all 3 of u and any other fans have a great Thursday. Hopefully I'll catch the preview live, but it seems unlikely. Fair play to all. HWTL.
We are going to make a fine mid-table team. Love the ambition
