Bruno Fernandes Named PFA Players' Player of the Year

26:05So to get him for 65, as the boys have said, 100 million the season before, I think somewhere in the middle of that might be his true price range. But in terms of the ability that he's got and the potential that he's got, I think for Man United this could be a terrific signing. Oh, how many times did Don say that? He's had the privilege of watching him pitch side and at pitch level last season. Must be nice. I think it was Don that wrote that statement for Manchester United. Before you get to carry, remember what he said. Could. Yeah. Just cooling your jets. Cooling your jets. Cooling your jets.

26:38All right, well, let's talk about Nico Gonzalez. The perfect person to stick with is Don for this one. Don, because Newcastle now signing the Manchester City man for 52 million. Ian. So how are you grading this one? Oh, I'm grading this like an 8 out of 10. I don't know about the grades. I'm not sure on the grades. That's not my forte. But I think buying a holding midfield player for Newcastle in the window that divide after, you know, two months ago, it was pretty doom and gloom. Felt as though we were losing all our best players left, right, and centre. And all of a sudden, the club have gone out and spent or brought three or four players in, if Nico signs, for the one in Bruno Gimaraes or the one in Tenali for 100 million.

27:19So I'm grading Newcastle's window, considering who's left, exceptional for the fees that's been spent. So, you know, what you wouldn't want to see is the departures on the right-hand side and then no players coming in on the left-hand side. So they're going younger, they're going faster. They've got really young players to find experience like Nico to play that number six, to let the young kids go and fly and go and play. I think for Newcastle United this could be a brilliant sign and exactly what they need Brilliant I feel very negative today I know, I saw you shaking your head over there when Don was explaining I was so positive and smiling and all kinds Listen, when Manchester City was struggling where was Nico Gonzalez?

28:01Hard to get instead of one He was generally sat on his backside on the bench I mean If you're going to be the number six apparently I can't believe I just said that at number six. If you're going to be a defensive midfielder, then are you really going to rely on Nico Gonzalez stopping teams getting out of your back line? I'm sorry. You know, he's at his best when he's got the ball at his feet and he gets on it and he knits things together and he starts things off. The one thing that I don't remember Nico Gonzalez ever doing is breaking things up. And if that's why you're signing him and I don't remember him doing that, then it's difficult for me to get carried away.

28:46He's great with the ball, the feet, neat and tidy, the whole thing. Depends what you want though, isn't it? Depends what you want. I mean, the classic example of a number six is Busquets. But he was never a destroyer. You know, it depends what you want. I think he was very unlucky when he signed that he was going to be back up to Rodri and you're never going to get inside a Rodri position. But Rodri was out. See, the difference with Busquets though, Don, is Busquets had the most incredible football brain So his reading of the game was just sensational. You can't class Nico Gonzalez in that. No, no, no.

29:19So that's kind of where I'm coming up. All right, will we agree on that? All right, well, I want to know, Augie, now, because it seems like Manchester City are stockpiling some cash now, Augie. Do you feel like maybe they're ready or trying to get ready to place in a late bid for a certain Enzo Fernandes? well you said the stockpiling cast they spent a fair bit they've already spent 200 million pound on Bawadi and Elliot Anderson so they've spent all right to be fair and look I think they will try and get Enzo Fernandes but I'm not sure that Chelsea need to sell him I think obviously the reaction that Enzo received at Fulham on Monday night was very negative from the away fans which he's going to get this season but I think the Chelsea fans almost like got him back on the side so the Chelsea fans aren't as hostile as they were a couple of weeks ago so I think it would be self-defeating by Chelsea to let him go especially to a rival like Man City I think Chelsea will fight hard to keep him but obviously Chelsea ultimately will decide on the basis of money and if they can make a profit on Enzo Fernandes they might let him go but I think obviously with Enzo and Caesada when they're both together Chelsea have got a very strong midfield and Chelsea could push hard for the title this season so why are you going to weaken yourself by letting him go to Man City so I think that's probably less likely to happen than likely at this stage Don you wanted to get in on this one?

30:38Well yeah I think Enzo Fernandes Alexis' best position as a number 10. And then that displaces Phil Foden or Ryan Cherky. It's not like they need, in my opinion, a number 10. I mean, I've been saying it for a long time when they need a number nine. You know, Julian Alvarez left the club for$95 million to let it go Madrid. And then it was like Marmouche's backup. If they ever got an injury to Haaland, who's going to play number nine for Man City? So I think that's the position they should be looking at, another goal scorer. All right, well, speaking of Chelsea, Liam De Lappe has left Chelsea and he's joining Nottingham Forest now for around£50 million.

31:16Stevie, you like this one. Well, I like it because I think he's perfect for Forest and the way they play. You know, I don't think he's good enough to play in any of the top sides around Europe. But I think he absolutely will fit in at Forest, you know. You know, people like Ongi that have just left and Chris Wood, You know, they've all had good careers at Forest because of the way Forest plays. And this, to me, suits him. You know, he'll have more time and space because it'll be more counter-attack. He'll be able to use his strength to hold off defenders and then he'll hold it up and then the guys with pace will get close to him.

31:55I think this will suit him down to the ground. He's not good enough for the way Chelsea or any of the top sides play because in small spaces and less time. All the cuter things about the game, it's not his game. The strength, the legs, running behind, holding people off, being big and strong. So I think this is a great move for him. And I think he's perfect for Nottingham Forest. Don, this more his level? Yeah, without being disrespectful, I think he looks like a younger, faster version than Chris would. I could see this working. I think he's got the attributes I think he's got ability I think he's just lost a little bit of confidence You take the big money move to Chelsea and it doesn't quite work and the fans are on you a little bit and all of a sudden you find yourself about fifth choice I think go and sign for Glasner at Forest You'll be more or less the guaranteed number nine This might be a fantastic move for him Okay, I want to talk about the prices for these players now because just hearing all the boys talking about it It doesn't seem like they're 100 % convinced about these players because they didn't exactly set the world on fire at their respective clubs last season or the season before.

33:06Yet we are seeing these wild prices for them. Is this just the way the Premier League is going now? Well, Nico, that's a profit for Man City. He made a profit on a guy that barely plays. Liam De Lappe, a£20 million profit for Chelsea. I don't understand it. I don't understand why clubs are spending so much money on players that haven't justified it. Obviously, De Laat was a... Chelsea bought him on a£30 million close fee last year, so they'll say, well, they got him on the cheap and they've grown his value, but he barely played last season. And he's had a different year on earth. He's worth£20 million more than he was a year ago.

33:43Oh, I believe we lost Augie. You know how that Wi-Fi works up north in Manchester. Oh, he's back, Augie. You can continue. Yeah, I don't understand how these fees have been justified because the money in the game is the money in the game. But why, if you're a buying club, would you spend way over the odds on a player? Now, I agree with the guys. De Lappes, I think, is a good signing for Forrest. He made the wrong move last year.

34:09All right, well, we kept trying there on that one. All kinds of going on in Manchester, guaranteed. A lot's going on in Manchester, indeed. Well, Don, let's talk to you quickly then about the Liverpool-Newcastle game. Of course, that was a big game, a big emotional game too as well. ended in a nice 2-2 draw. I guess we could see who it is. But you had Florian Wirtz as your player of the year in our early Premier League predictions. And Stevie, absolutely shocked, once again, was not convinced by him and slated him. So what percentage do you regret picking him now as your player of the year come next season, next year?

34:45It's probably about 99.9. I'm watching Cole Palmer last night. I should have went for Cole Palmer. I think I was just hoping I was thinking I watched him pre-season a player that needs to improve I don't think I don't know I don't want to write him off because the talent is there but I just get the feeling that Liverpool's number 10 or best number 10 for what they want is Dominic Saboslai so the knock-on effect and especially I took a call from a good friend of mine about two years ago 18 months ago, Jason McIntyre and he told me that Liverpool have signed Caicedo or were signing Caicedo late on whatever night it was, Friday night at 12 o 'clock.

35:25And I was like, brilliant, going to be the best signing Liverpool I've made for ages. If Caicedo was playing for Liverpool, then you'd see a better Florian Vurts. Unfortunately, he hasn't signed for Liverpool. They've got the same midfield players. And Dominic Saboslay, in my opinion, for what Liverpool need, is their best number 10 because he's athletic. He runs in the box. He runs beyond strikers. He gets goals. He's not a number eight where he's a flicky, tricky, sort of, you know, try and trick in midfield Sir Bozlai. He's not one of these guys that can just manufacture a little five-yard flick.

35:56He's a guy that's got good energy. He can run in the box. So I'm watching Florian Versa. I'm just thinking, where is he going to play? Because then you could shoehorn him in on the left-hand side, but then he's not really a winger. I've seen some clips today of a proper number 10 that Liverpool had about five years ago, and that was Philippe Coutinho. And you watch Philippe Coutinho's clips at Liverpool. I mean, he looks like a 500 million pound player compared to Florian Vert so I hope he does it I want him to do it because I know the brain's there I know the skills there but in terms of how much I regret it it's Cole Palmer all day long Stevie?

36:33Yeah I agree with Don to get the best out of him you have to have a settled situation around him no question you put him in a side that are dominating and have got quality and then he's the guy that will get that final pass to your 25 a season goal scorer. But in a team that hasn't quite figured out what they're all about, he's a passenger. He really is just a passenger right now. So I don't think we'll see the best of Florida Invers until Liverpool get settled. And that seems a long way off, unfortunately. Augie, you're close enough to Merseyside and we do have you back. What's some of the chat or the thoughts that you're hearing from Liverpool, Liverpool's faithful about Florian Virts?

37:27I think they're losing a bit of patience with him, to be honest. I think it's one of those situations where he's had a year and sometimes it doesn't work. And I think, you know, Jamie Carragher was talking about how it all works last night. And his view was that it's either Florian Virts or Dominic Schiavossla. and at the moment you'd pitch Shabaslai further forward because he's the guy that makes things happen, he can create, he can score goals, but if you're going to do that, you're going to have to address the defensive midfield situation at Liverpool. I just don't see where Verts fits in. They might have to admit that he's been a mistake.

37:56If he was at Man City or Chelsea right now, they'd probably sell him, but Liverpool can't afford to do that. But I don't see how he fits. He doesn't fit on the left-hand side because Iriola want pace and power. He doesn't seem to fit in the middle because he's too weak. It might just be a flop. It might just be one of these players that isn't going to cut it at Liverpool and he's much happier in the Bundesliga or Liga. If he was playing for Barcelona or Real Madrid, he'd be a superstar in Spain. But the Premier League, it just looks too fast for him. And I don't see that resolving itself no matter what Liverpool do.

38:26All right, a lot of doom and gloom today. I guess Don's just going to have to regret that pick indeed. Well, like he said, 99.9 % he regrets his pick. And he's already choosing Cole Palmer though, Steve. Are we jumping the gun there? A lot of, a bit of an overreaction. It's only, I mean, one game of the season. And, of course, Cole Palmer was looking like the Cole Palmer we all came to know and love. But should we kind of cool our jets there? Should Don cool his jets there? I don't think that's a bad choice. Really? For player of the year? I'll tell you what. He looked good. He looks smooth. He actually had a smile on his face.

38:56I haven't seen him smiling for a while. I wouldn't argue with that. Picked on Cole Palmer. Yeah. Yeah. No, I have no problem with that at all. I thought he was fantastic. All right. Well, it's a shame that we can't let Don go back on his prediction. He has to stick with Florian Veert just as Liverpool have to. All right. All right.

41:55That's a bit over the top, isn't it? were saying yeah yeah we got a lot of players over six two six three yeah yeah anyways we're back don hot just said and mark aga joining us for this one as well it up about celtic let's start off with the first question and it's for agi agi are you more pessimistic about i love when we're talking pessimism it has to be with agi agi are you more pessimistic about Spurs or United?

42:22Stop it. I'd say United because at least Spurs have had big investments you know they've signed some top people like Tenale have come in so I think and also Spurs have got a lower base Spurs finished 17th last season so anything's better than that I think United are going to find it hard though to get back in the Champions League after getting in it last season I think it's going to be tough unless they make some another couple of big signings this week and they haven't really made a box office exciting signings. So, I'd say United. I think I'd be slightly more pessimistic about United. Don, do you agree?

42:53I know Stevie already does. Nah, I think I'd be more pessimistic about Spurs. I've got United tossing a coin with Liverpool at the top four or five. I wouldn't read too much into that one game away against Hull at 12.30. Listen, Spurs will let you down. Whenever you think Spurs are going to win a game, they will let you down. I don't see them getting top four or five. So I think United will. I think our producer Mike's going to have a bone or two to pick with you after this. Next question for Stevie and Don. Which of these Klopp-era midfield profiles does this current Liverpool side miss the most?

43:30Fabinho, Henderson or Wijnaldum? Easy. Stevie, go first.

43:40Right today. if I was to if I was given one of those players to put in the team today

43:52I would go I would go probably Fabinho at his best you had to dig for that one well because I liked Wijnaldum yeah Gini Wijnaldum I liked Wijnaldum but right now Liverpool need somebody in the middle of the park that's going to actually defend and stop the opposition getting to the back four. Ultimately, if you can do that, that's huge. If you could cut in half the amount of times teams get to Liverpool's back four, that would be a great start. So, because of the trouble they're in, I'm going to say Fabinho. Don, you said this was easy, so who's your pick? It's Fabinho all day long. It's staring you right in the face.

44:37I mean, prime Fabinho was an unbelievable midfield player. Not only did he score goals, he smashed everyone, he'd get yellow cards and break up all the counter-attacks that Liverpool faced. I think it's a very easy answer for Pignon. Augie, you want to jump in? Yeah, I can't disagree with that, but I'd say all of them right now because any of those players would make Liverpool better right now. 100%. 100%. Take all of them. Next question. Alexis, what do you think of United's transfer window? Will it be enough, given the added Champions League matches, for United to remain in the top. We don't want any fanboys, girls stuff.

45:15I'm not. Tell the truth. I am always, I'm going to tell you straight up, it is not enough. It is not enough. For what we expect and want at Manchester United, it is not enough. I don't think there's any signing that we have made that really set my world alight. I was excited about Uri Tillemans. I'm not going to lie there too. Happy to get back Marcus Rashford, always one of our own. But to say that we have gotten one, especially even when you compare it to what Spurs have done that I could say, yes, this is, this is already, I know this is going to be a success on the pitch. In terms of to compete for Champions League or compete for at least top three again, I don't know.

45:52I'm pessimistic. I thought Augie was pessimistic, but call me Miss Pessimism. But then now I'm hoping that will work against, that will work in my fame. Yeah. Miss Pessimism. You've had a couple of great windows, Alexis. You signed like Sesco and Cuña. had a couple of really good windows. Can't fix it all in a couple of windows. Don, I can't tell if you're saying that tongue-in-cheek or not. I don't know about Cesc. You can't sign a full team in two windows. So you think, you know, potentially fix the front line. They're fixing the midfield in this window. Defenders next. Are you doing all right?

46:30Augie, I know you'll agree with me. This doesn't feel like enough, surely. Augie, where did you play Kenya? Two questions there. Cesco you're not starting Cesco listen I was going to say that I think what Man United need right now they've needed for a long time is a proper goal scorer and Cesco's not that but he's better than Hoyland was but Zerks is useless so I think they need a goal scorer and if you're looking at Cunha he's probably the best of a Cunha's a good player but he's not he hasn't got the pace to play through the middle but United haven't got a striker right now so that's

47:10Well, there you go. That sums up. They're probably thinking, Alexis, to Oggy's point there, they're probably thinking, right, where can we get Van Nistelrooy? Oh, my days. Yeah, but these guys now, these Van Nistelroys, these, you know, Kylian Mbappes and these Harry Canes, they're 150 million quid. Yep. Man, you haven't got that money. Alas, no. We just want big man up front, 20-plus goals a season. Oh, what a time that would be. Yeah, join the queue. Yeah, that's true. Join the queue indeed, a lot of us. Next question is an obligatory percentage question for Don. I like these. Percentage chance for Chelsea to finish in the top four this season, Don.

47:52Ooh, good. Well, my predictions the other day, Alexis, I had them in second. I've got Chelsea finishing with second with Gael Pedro, Cole Palmer, Morgan Rodgers, Esteval Enzo Vistase, Caicedo, Lavia I think top four I'm going to go 75 % 75 % Stevie you like that because everyone seems to be really impressed by Chelsea I think the top four They've got good players and they don't have any European football I mean they can basically be once a week How much of it is down to what Xavi can do there? Or what we've already seen from him?

48:34Yeah, a combination of Xavi, Europe, you know, making some really good signings. You know, Morgan Rodgers is going to score goals. And if you can get Cole Palmer back to normal, then you're going to score goals. So if he can put his back three together and work with them and get them in tune with each other, obviously got to change the goalkeeper. Then, yeah, I see him in the top four, yeah, comfortably. All right, exciting times if you're a blue indeed. Next question is actually supposed to have been for Augie. And we do have Augie back. He's fixing his Wi-Fi over there in the middle of the woods.

49:14Augie, the Manchester derby is 20 days away. How much of a season decider is this going to be for both Manchester clubs?

49:26Oh, it's too early to be a decider. It'll give you an insight into what they can both do, but it's not a decider. It will tell you how much more progress United have got to make to close the gap on City, with there's still a gap there. And it'll also say how much the end of Moresca is going at City, but it's too early to be decided. There's a lot of f***ing player. Down too early, right? No, I think it's a decider for Man City. Oh. If Man City lost it, I mean I covered the game against Bournemouth the other day, they were extremely lucky to win that game. It looked like they were getting beat all day long, taking a point maximum, had they won it.

50:04I thought they got very lucky, so if they went into that game and lost it, you start to think, well, are they going to be top four? So, I think it's bigger for City than United. More pressure on City to win the first derby? Steve, why not lose this to Abbey? He's not going to tell you anything about where they got any finish.

50:27Alright. Stevie's not having it. No. No. Alright, next question for Don. Brilliant commentary on the Milan-Torino game. Did you pay someone to say this, Don? Who was on it? I guess Don was. Really? 100%. Oh, of course. Alright. He's obviously paid someone to say this. But what do you think of Amarim's style of play with Milan compared to when he was at United? I mean, it's one game. They played really well second half more than they did first half. The good thing is he's got a number nine in Gonzalo Ramos, which they haven't had for a while because last season, Allegri played, Krishan Pulisic and Rafa Liao was two false nines, and that never worked.

51:09I mean, it was embarrassing towards the end of the season. They started the season actually quite well, were tailed off big time. He's saying if you walk with things over there already, he's already got asked a question today about Rafa Liao and he went, Liao, not important. So whether that's sort of broken English, broken Italian, we'll have to wait and see. One of their best centre-backs they've had for the last three or four years is Pakaio Tamori. He's put him in the Bomber squad already. So he's making some brave calls. Now he benched against Torino. Salamakas came off the bench, good player.

51:41Rabiot came off the bench. Modric came off the bench. He has got some squad to try and compete, but you know, very early on. Alright, next question is a transfer question, so we're going to go to Augie for this one. Augie, the date is September 2nd. Where are Julian Alvarez and Enzo Fernandez playing?

52:10By the way, here's the thing about that. Here's the thing about what just happened. We weren't sure whether Augie had frozen or not. What does that tell you? We weren't sure at all. What does that tell you about Augie? That he's just very stiff. He is touching the words. Is he frozen or not? We don't know. Augie, we're going to let you go. We're going to let you go. Start your Wi-Fi out. Because he doesn't seem too distraught. Don, what about you? What do you think?

52:46Oh, he's doing that on purpose. He's doing that on purpose. Of course he is. I was like, we can't have lost Don too. I know, you can't lose me. Listen, I think I might be in the minority here, but I think if you're Atletico Madrid now, I think you've got to put your big boy pants on and accept that Uli Alvarez wants to leave the football club. Now, the days of 20 years ago, when you can say you're going to rot in the reserves and that's just not going to happen. So why don't you just say to Barcelona, right, this is the fee we want for him. The player obviously wants to go. Why don't we generate as much money as we can and let him go?

53:25Because no one wins by Julian Alvarez storming down the tunnel after the game, not playing, coming off the bench, being a bit moody. You're not going to get the same player. If you do put him in the reserves or you do bring him off the bench, he ain't going to be worth$150 million. and that will just that fee will get devalued every month when he loses confidence and doesn't play just sell him and if you've got a strength in Barca then so be it or sell him to Arsenal just go and get top money for him Can't sell him Can't sell him You can't sell him to Barcelona He's not good on the bench You can send them to any if it's anybody outside La Liga yeah absolutely but it's not going to be it looks like it's Barcelona or nobody else and you can't serve into Barcelona so you're going to have to face it and I think Chelsea need to do the same with Enzo just because they're booing you start winning games or you start scoring goals then it'll go the other way then the majority of fans will be with you there'll always be a little section that are never going to be happy but you fight your way through it.

54:39And maybe with Alvarez you say, you know what, here's the deal. You score goals for us this year and we'll think about it. Just find some way. But you've got to go through it. Stevie, what if he says no and has a sulk up and sitting on the bench every week? Well, then that's... If I'm a supporter of Atletico Madrid I would rather do that, I'd rather see that than us getting 90 million. Because, by the way, this team has spent nearly a billion in the last how many years? And guess what? They got deadly so far to show for it. So money's not the answer. You either make them rot or you try and figure it out.

55:26Try and figure a way out of it that he gets playing. And then in six months, if things go well, then it's in the past. You don't sell them to Barcelona, no chance. Quite the difficult task now for Trojo Simeone. We'll see exactly how that pans out. Next question, Stevie, I had this superstition that your diet somehow aligned perfectly with Liverpool playing nice and frightening football in Europe. Any chance you can go back to that diet routine so we could get the prime Liverpool we used to watch a few years back? What did you change in your diet? Well it wasn't the diet that changed, it was the activity that changed.

56:07The stress. The stress. Listen, when you're out, when you're playing and you can eat what you want, you burn it off. You're training every day, you're sweating it off, you're burning the calories, the whole thing. It's not a problem. Not a problem. It's when you stop. It's when you stop. It's the activity, not the diet. Exactly. Because I know your diet never changed. I mean, if ever there was an example of how diet is over, just over... No. Because you were eating the same then as you are now, relatively. Oh, sorry, have I taken this the wrong way? How have you taken it? Well, I thought we were talking about when I was playing.

56:51Yeah, when you were playing. Yeah. And you were eating the same then as you kind of do now. Yeah. Exactly. So it's not the diet, it's the activity It's the activity Exactly Aye Aye That's what I was saying Yeah Yeah No activity Then the pounds pile on Oh boy Final question Alexis, would you join Stevie for yoga classes To relieve stress from Manchester United? I would I didn't know you You go yoga classes? Do I look as though I go to yoga classes? I mean, I don't know You think for one second I go to yoga classes It may be good for like No Not necessarily like to drop pounds. Not saying you need to drop pounds, but I hear it's good for stress.

57:31Somebody wrote in during the week with a question about, have I tried yoga or something like that? That's where this has come from. Oh, word. But it's too late. Again, it's like...
